He also won the 2018 Preakness Stakes and will attempt to sweep the American Triple Crown in the 2018 Belmont Stakes . He first attracted attention with an impressive win in his first start on February 18 , 2018 , then followed up with two more victories , including the Grade I Santa Anita Derby , in his preparations for the Derby . Contents ( hide ) 1 Background 2 Racing career 2.1 Kentucky Derby 2.2 Preakness Stakes 3 Statistics 4 Pedigree 5 References Background ( edit ) Justify is a chestnut colt with a large white blaze on his forehead . He was bred in Kentucky by John D. Gunther , who runs Glennwood Farm with his daughter Tanya . Although the Gunthers have a small breeding operation , they also bred Vino Rosso , another stakes winner on the 2018 Road to the Kentucky Derby . Gunther also bred Justify 's dam , Stage Magic , a stakes - placed daughter of Ghostzapper . Justify was part of the second - last crop of Scat Daddy , who won the Champagne Stakes and Florida Derby . Although Scat Daddy ran in America on the dirt , as a stallion he first made his reputation in Europe as a turf sire , with Group 1 winners including Lady Aurelia and Caravaggio His stud fee when he was bred to Stage Magic in 2014 was only $35,000 , though it was scheduled to increase to $100,000 in 2016 . Unfortunately , Scat Daddy died prematurely at the age of eleven in December 2015 . Justify was sold at the 2016 Keeneland September Yearling Sales for $500,000 to a recently formed partnership between WinStar Farm and China Horse Club , along with Tom Ryan 's SF Bloodstock . The majority of the horse is owned by Winstar Farm . David Hanley , general manager of WinStar Farm , said that Justify stood out at the sales . `` He was a beautiful yearling -- had great balance and leg , great shoulder , and lovely length and neck , and power , '' he said . `` For a big horse , he was very light on his feet , with good action and good energy . '' In early March 2018 , SF Racing sold a share to Starlight Racing , then Sol Kumin 's Head of Plains partners also bought a share in late March . Justify was initially sent to trainer Rodolphe Brisset at Keeneland but pulled a muscle and was given time to recover and grow into his frame . In January 2018 , he was sent to Santa Anita to be trained by Bob Baffert . Racing career ( edit ) Justify did not make his first start until February 18 , 2018 in a maiden special weight race for three - year - olds at Santa Anita Park over seven furlongs . Going off as the 1 - 2 favorite , he broke poorly then rushed up to challenge for the early lead . After completing the first quarter mile in a quick 21.80 seconds , he began to open up an advantage on the rest of the field , ultimately winning by ​ 9 ⁄ lengths . The impressive win earned a Beyer Speed Figure of 104 and caused the Thoroughbred Daily News to designate the colt as a `` Rising Star '' . `` It 's not too late , '' said Baffert regarding the colt 's chances of qualifying for the Kentucky Derby . `` I 've got a plan ... We 're looking ( for a graded stakes race ) . He 's shown his brilliance in the morning . '' Justify made his next start on March 11 in an allowance race at Santa Anita , run at a distance of one mile . As the overwhelming 1 - 20 favorite , he broke slowly and settled behind the early leaders , On the far turn , he quickened and swept to an easy ​ 6 ⁄ length win . `` I did n't ask him to move , '' said jockey Mike Smith , riding the colt for the first time . `` He came off that turn like it was a stroll . Just very , very impressed . I hate to compare him to other horses right now , but does n't he remind you of an Easy Goer way back in the day . Just a big ol ' red horse with a big , powerful stride . '' Despite never having raced in stakes company , Justify was subsequently ranked as one of the leading contenders for the Kentucky Derby , moving into seventh place in the March 12 NTRA poll . However , the colt first needed to qualify by earning points in the 2018 Road to the Kentucky Derby . Baffert originally planned to run stablemate McKinzie in the Santa Anita Derby and ship Justify to Oaklawn Park for the Arkansas Derby . But when McKinzie suffered a setback due to injury , Baffert decided to keep Justify at his home base for the Santa Anita Derby . On April 7 , Justify entered the Santa Anita Derby as part of a field of seven horses . His main rival was Bolt d'Oro , a multiple stakes winner and another top contender on the Derby trail . The two horses were almost evenly matched in the betting , with Justify going off as the slight favorite . He went to the early lead then set a comfortable pace down the backstretch , moving with a `` freak stride '' that helped him conserve energy . Around the final turn , the field started to close the gap , with Bolt d'Oro getting to within ​ 1 ⁄ lengths in mid-stretch . Justify responded to the challenge and drew away for a three - length lead despite drifting somewhat down the stretch . Kentucky Derby ( edit ) The win moved Justify to the top position in the NTRA 3 - year - old poll and made him the favorite for the Derby . To win the race though , he would have to overcome the so - called `` Curse of Apollo '' -- no horse had won the Kentucky Derby without racing as a two - year - old since Apollo in 1882 . Baffert pointed to the horse 's natural ability but acknowledged the colt was still green . Furthermore , the field for the 2018 Kentucky Derby was considered one of the best in recent memory , with most of the major prep race winners given serious consideration by handicappers . In addition to Justify , the field included graded stakes winners Good Magic ( Breeders ' Cup Juvenile and Blue Grass Stakes ) , Mendelssohn ( Breeders ' Cup Juvenile Turf and UAE Derby ) , Audible ( Florida Derby ) , Magnum Moon ( Arkansas Derby ) , Noble Indy ( Louisiana Derby ) , Vino Rosso ( Wood Memorial ) , My Boy Jack ( Lexington Stakes ) , Free Drop Billy ( Breeders ' Futurity ) , Firenze Fire ( Champagne Stakes ) and Bolt d'Oro . Play media Justify in starting gate for Kentucky Derby The 2018 Kentucky Derby was held on May 5 on a rainy day at Churchill Downs . Although the surface had been sealed earlier in the day to minimize the effect of the rain on the footing , the track was still labeled as sloppy . Justify broke well and used his early speed to establish good position near the rail going into the first turn , running a length behind Promises Fulfilled in a fast opening quarter of 22.24 seconds . These two maintained their position for the first three - quarters of a mile , completed in 1 : 11 , followed closely by Bolt d'Oro , Flameaway and Good Magic . Going into the final turn , Promises Fulfilled dropped back while first Bolt d'Oro and then Good Magic were put to a drive . Justify responded to the challenge and opened up a lead of ​ 1 ⁄ lengths at the top of the stretch , widening to ​ 2 ⁄ lengths at the finish line . Good Magic held on for second while Audible closed late to finish third . Justify came out of the race almost untouched by the mud due to his front - running style . The day after however , he appeared to be somewhat lame in his left hind leg -- a condition that Baffert attributed to `` scratches or whatever '' from the wet track . The sensitivity was later determined to have been caused by a heel bruise . To protect the heel , Justify was shod with a three - quarter horseshoe before he resumed galloping on May 10 . Preakness Stakes ( edit ) Justify narrowly wins in a blanket finish at the 2018 Preakness The track conditions for the 2018 Preakness Stakes , run on May 19 at Pimlico Racetrack in Baltimore , were even worse than for the Derby . After heavy rain over several days , the track was sloppy . The rain finally stopped shortly before the race but then a heavy fog descended , limiting visibility to about a sixteenth of a mile . The start was once again critical , and Justify broke well to go take the early lead . To his inside , Good Magic rushed up to challenge him and the two matched strides around the first turn and down the backstretch while setting moderate fractions . They picked up the pace rounding the final turn and opened a gap on the rest of the field . However in mid-stretch , Tenfold started closing ground rapidly to Justify 's outside while Bravazo , who had trailed by five lengths in mid-stretch , was moving fastest of all in the center of the track . Justify dug in to win by half a length over Bravazo , with Tenfold just a neck further back in third , another neck in front of Good Magic . The win earned Justify a Beyer Speed Figure of 97 , the lowest of his career . Baffert felt that the colt had suffered a bit of a `` bounce '' , or regression from a peak performance in the Derby . He was still impressed by Justify 's performance , pointing out the colt had been pushed hard by Good Magic and had also reacted greenly by jumping several puddles during the race . `` You ca n't bring it all the time , '' he said . `` This will set him up for the next one . '' Justify 's next start will be the 2018 Belmont Stakes on June 9 , where he will attempt to become the thirteenth winner of the American Triple Crown . Baffert was the trainer of the last winner , American Pharoah in 2015 , and plans to follow a similar training regimen with Justify at Churchill Downs until shipping to New York a few days before the Belmont .

From it is derived the English idiom `` to cry wolf '' , defined as `` to give a false alarm '' in Brewer 's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable and glossed by the Oxford English Dictionary as meaning to make false claims , with the result that subsequent true claims are disbelieved . Contents ( hide ) 1 The fable 2 Fable 's history 3 References 4 External links The fable ( edit ) The tale concerns a shepherd boy who repeatedly tricks nearby villagers into thinking wolves are attacking his flock . When a wolf actually does appear and the boy again calls for help , the villagers believe that it is another false alarm and the sheep are eaten by the wolf . In later English - language poetic versions of the fable , the wolf also eats the boy . This happens in Fables for five year olds ( 1830 ) by John Hookham Frere , in William Ellery Leonard 's Aesop & Hyssop ( 1912 ) , and in his interpretation of Aesop 's Fables ( 1965 ) by Louis Untermeyer . The moral stated at the end of the Greek version is , `` this shows how liars are rewarded : even if they tell the truth , no one believes them '' . It echoes a statement attributed to Aristotle by Diogenes Laërtius in his The Lives and Opinions of Eminent Philosophers , in which the sage was asked what those who tell lies gain by it and he answered `` that when they speak truth they are not believed '' . William Caxton similarly closes his version with the remark that `` men bileve not lyghtly hym whiche is knowen for a lyer '' . Fable 's history ( edit ) The story dates from Classical times , but , since it was recorded only in Greek and not translated into Latin until the 15th century , it only began to gain currency after it appeared in Heinrich Steinhöwel 's collection of the fables and so spread through the rest of Europe . For this reason , there was no agreed title for the story . Caxton titles it `` Of the child whiche kepte the sheep '' ( 1484 ) , Hieronymus Osius `` The boy who lied '' ( `` De mendace puero '' , 1574 ) , Francis Barlow `` Of the herd boy and the farmers '' ( `` De pastoris puero et agricolis '' , 1687 ) , Roger L'Estrange `` A boy and false alarms '' ( 1692 ) , and George Fyler Townsend `` The shepherd boy and the wolf '' ( 1867 ) . It was under the final title that Edward Hughes set it as the first of ten `` Songs from Aesop 's fables '' for children 's voices and piano , in a poetic version by Peter Westmore ( 1965 ) . Teachers have used the fable as a cautionary tale about telling the truth but a recent educational experiment suggested that reading `` The Boy Who Cried Wolf '' increased children 's likelihood of lying . On the other hand , reading a book on George Washington and the cherry tree decreased this likelihood dramatically . The suggestibility and favourable outcome of the behaviour described , therefore , seems the key to moral instruction of the young . However , when dealing with the moral behaviour of adults , Samuel Croxall asks , referencing political alarmism , `` when we are alarmed with imaginary dangers in respect of the public , till the cry grows quite stale and threadbare , how can it be expected we should know when to guard ourselves against real ones ?

Maya social classes - wikipedia Maya social classes Jump to : navigation , search This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia 's quality standards . The specific problem is : needs editing , source checking , etc . Please help improve this article if you can . ( June 2016 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The Maya social classes is a system of political organization . It is divided in ahau ( king ) , nobles , priests , merchants and artisans , and peasants and slaves . At the head of each Maya polity , there was halach uinic , also called the ajau . It is commonly accepted that the appearance of kings in Maya lowland civilizations occurred during the time period change from the Pre Classics to the modern times . This time period would make the first kings to be dated ca . 100 . These kings were recorded on carved stelae . However , it was discovered in the Maya civilization of Nakbe that the first appearance of kings on stelae occurred during the Middle Preclassic . Additionally , in the civilizations of Kaminaljuyu , El Baúl and Takalik Abaj , located in the southern highlands , people and inscriptions of historical events were first made during CE 37 , one of the most earliest dates . Maya king and his servant The ahau had many different types of duties . It is supposed that the ruler made policies used in the state that were applied to both the state and foreign relations , while being assisted by a state council , consisting of `` leading chiefs , priests , and special councilors '' . By having ceremonies that were both in public view and in private , the kings would participate in acts of dancing , giving of his own blood for a sacrifice , having `` enemas and trances '' , the king would be able to show that he was also the `` mediator between the supernatural and the real worlds . '' In addition to these duties , during the New Empire the ruler determined who to appoint in the position of chief , also called a batab , for towns . Through examinations of the candidates at the beginning of the new k'atun , the ajaw was able to get rid of any person who was considered to be a pretender or who applied falsely . Both the batabob and the ajaw were usually positions of patrilineal inheritance and genealogy . Lady Sak Kʻukʻ took the position of ruler in Palenque because at that time her son was not old enough . Contents ( hide ) 1 Kings 2 Priests 3 Merchants and artisans 4 Peasants , farmers , and slaves 5 Notes 6 References Kings ( edit ) Under the ahau in the social classes was the kings . This class , also known as almehenob consisted of the positions of the local magistrates and executives , town counselors , deputies ah holpopob ( who assisted local lords in governmental affairs ) and the tupiles ( policemen ) . Priests ( edit ) The priests performed `` activities of ritual , sacrifice , divination , astronomical observation , chronological calculations , hieroglyphic writings , religious instruction , management of the monasteries '' . In addition to these responsibilities , the priest assisted the ajaw with regards to politics as well . The class of the priests was also divided into other sections . These included the nacom ( would cut the heart out of a sacrificial victim ) , who were assisted by four chacs and the ahmen ( prophet and `` the inflictor as well as the healer of diseases '' ) . This occasion also occurs in the Aztec Civilization too . Merchants and artisans ( edit ) Merchants sold and traded with different cities . Artisans made pottery and designed buildings and temples . The Maya were accomplished traders . They traveled by sea , river and well - constructed roads to trade with other city - states . Peasants , farmers , and slaves ( edit ) Then there were the peasants . Men were farmers and used the slash and burn agricultural method . Women had duties in the household . Some peasants were asked to be slaves of the king . This was decided by the nobles . Notes ( edit ) Jump up ^ Morley ( 1947 pp. 174 -- 176 ) . ^ Jump up to : Morley ( 1947 pp. 161 -- 162 ) .

I 'd wanted to write a song for Kylie for many years . I had a quiet obsession with her for about six years . I wrote several songs for her , none of which I felt was appropriate to give her . It was only when I wrote this song , which is a dialogue between a killer and his victim , that I thought finally I 'd written the right song for Kylie to sing . I sent the song to her and she replied the next day . -- Nick Cave , quoted in Molly Meldrum presents 50 Years of Rock in Australia ( 2007 ) A CD of the track -- which had Blixa Bargeld singing Minogue 's lines -- when sent to Minogue 's parents ' house ( as she was staying there at the time ) prior to her recording the song . Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds and Kylie Minogue first performed the song publicly on 4 August 1995 in Cork , Republic of Ireland . Song information ( edit ) According to the sheet music edition published by OnlineSheetMusic.com , `` Where The Wild Roses Grow '' is written in the compound time signature of 6 / 8 and is set in the key signature of G minor , at a tempo of 56 beats per minute . Music video ( edit ) The painting Ophelia inspired scenes within the music video . The video for this song , commissioned by Emma Davies for Mute Records , shot by director Rocky Schenck and produced by Nick Verden for Atlas Films , shows Kylie Minogue in character , apparently having been murdered by Nick Cave 's character . We see her in ghost - like form and also in a river in a pose reminiscent of Millais ' painting Ophelia . The video ends with Cave 's character putting a rose in Minogue 's mouth and closing her eyelids .

how many pages is the stranger by albert camus
The Stranger ( Camus novel ) - wikipedia The Stranger ( Camus novel ) The Stranger or The Outsider <Td_colspan="2"> Cover of the first edition Author Albert Camus Original title L'Étranger Country France Language French Genre Philosophical novel Set in Algeria Published 1942 ( Gallimard , French ) 1946 ( Hamish Hamilton , English ) Pages 159 L'Étranger ( The Outsider ( UK ) , or The Stranger ( US ) ) is a 1942 novel by French author Albert Camus . Its theme and outlook are often cited as examples of Camus 's philosophy of the absurd and existentialism , though Camus personally rejected the latter label . The title character is Meursault , an indifferent French Algerian described as `` a citizen of France domiciled in North Africa , a man of the Mediterranean , an homme du midi yet one who hardly partakes of the traditional Mediterranean culture '' . He attends his mother 's funeral . A few days later , he kills an Arab man in French Algiers , who was involved in a conflict with a friend . Meursault is tried and sentenced to death . The story is divided into two parts , presenting Meursault 's first - person narrative view before and after the murder , respectively . In January 1955 , Camus wrote : I summarized The Stranger a long time ago , with a remark I admit was highly paradoxical : ' In our society any man who does not weep at his mother 's funeral runs the risk of being sentenced to death . ' I only meant that the hero of my book is condemned because he does not play the game . The Stranger 's first edition consisted of 4,400 copies and was not an immediate best - seller . But the novel was well received , partly because of Jean - Paul Sartre 's article `` Explication de L'Etranger , '' on the eve of publication of the novel , and a mistake from the Propaganda - Staffel . Translated four times into English , and also into numerous other languages , the novel has long been considered a classic of 20th - century literature . Le Monde ranks it as number one on its 100 Books of the Century . The novel was twice adapted as films : Lo Straniero ( 1967 ) ( Italian ) by Luchino Visconti and Yazgı ( Fate ) by Zeki Demirkubuz ( Turkish ) .

At her funeral , he expresses none of the expected emotions of grief . When asked if he wishes to view the body , he says no , and , instead , smokes and drinks coffee in front of the coffin . Rather than expressing his feelings , he comments to the reader only about the aged attendees at the funeral . He later encounters Marie , a former employee of his firm . The two become re-acquainted , go swimming , watch a comedy film , and begin to have a sexual relationship a day after his mother 's funeral . In the next few days , he helps his friend and neighbor , Raymond Sintès , take revenge on a Moorish girlfriend suspected of infidelity . For Raymond , Meursault agrees to write a letter to his girlfriend , with the sole purpose of inviting her over so that Raymond can have sex with her but spit in her face at the last minute as emotional revenge . Meursault sees no reason not to help him , and it pleases Raymond . He does not express concern that Raymond 's girlfriend is going to be emotionally hurt , as he believes Raymond 's story that she has been unfaithful . While listening to Raymond , he is both somewhat drunk and characteristically unfazed by any feelings of empathy . In general , he considers other people either interesting or annoying , or feels nothing for them at all . The letter works : the girlfriend returns on a Sunday morning , but the situation escalates when she slaps Raymond after he tries to kick her out , and he beats her . Raymond asks Meursault to testify in court that the girlfriend has been unfaithful . Meursault agrees and the two go out to a café . On their return they encounter Salamano , his curmudgeonly old neighbour who has lost his abused and disease - riddled dog , who is maintaining his usual spiteful and uncaring attitude for the dog . Later that evening and the next , Salamano goes to Meursault for comfort - he explains that he had adopted the dog shortly after his wife 's death as a companion . Salamano mentions that the neighbours ' said nasty things ' about him after sending his mother to a retirement home . Meursault is surprised to learn about the negative impression of his actions . Later , he is taken to court where Meursault , who witnessed the event while returning to his apartment with Marie , testifies that she had been unfaithful , and Raymond is let off with a warning . After this , the girlfriend 's brother and several Arab friends begin trailing Raymond . Raymond invites Meursault and Marie to a friend 's beach house for the weekend . There they encounter the spurned girlfriend 's brother and an Arab friend ; these two confront Raymond and wound him with a knife during a fist fight . Later , Meursault walks back along the beach alone , now armed with a revolver which he took from Raymond to prevent him from acting rashly . Meursault encounters the brother of Raymond 's Arab girlfriend . Disoriented and on the edge of heatstroke , Meursault shoots when the Arab flashes his knife at him . It is a fatal shot , but Meursault shoots the man four more times after a pause . He does not divulge to the reader any specific reason for his crime or what he feels , other than being bothered by the heat and intensely bright sunlight . Part 2 ( edit ) Meursault is now incarcerated , and explains his arrest , time in prison , and upcoming trial . His general detachment makes living in prison very tolerable , especially after he gets used to the idea of being restricted and unable to have sex with Marie . He passes the time sleeping , or mentally listing the objects he owned in his apartment . At the trial , the prosecuting attorney portrays Meursault 's quietness and passivity as demonstrating guilt and a lack of remorse . The prosecutor tells the jury more about Meursault 's inability or unwillingness to cry at his mother 's funeral and the murder . He pushes Meursault to tell the truth , but the man resists . Later , on his own , Meursault tells the reader that he simply was never able to feel any remorse or personal emotions for any of his actions in life . The dramatic prosecutor denounces Meursault , claiming that he must be a soulless monster , incapable of remorse , and thus deserves to die for his crime . Although Meursault 's attorney defends him and later tells Meursault that he expects the sentence to be light , Meursault is alarmed when the judge informs him of the final decision : that he will be publicly guillotined . In prison , Meursault awaits the results of his appeal . While waiting to learn his fate , either his successful appeal or execution of his death sentence , Meursault meets with a chaplain , but rejects his proffered opportunity of turning to God . Meursault says that God is a waste of his time . Although the chaplain persists in trying to lead Meursault from his atheism ( or , perhaps more precisely , his apatheism ) , Meursault finally accosts him in a rage . He has an outburst about his frustrations and the absurdity of the human condition , and his personal anguish without respite at the meaninglessness of his freedom , existence and responsibility . He expresses anger about others , saying that they have no right to judge him for his actions or for who he is , that no one has the right to judge another . It is hinted that the priest believed Meursault 's appeal would be granted , but it is unclear if he is still of this opinion after the ordeal . Meursault however has grasped the universe 's indifference towards humankind , and prepares for his execution . At night in his cell , he finds a final happiness in his indifference towards the world and the lack of meaning he sees in everyone and everything . His final assertion is that a large , hateful crowd at his execution will end his loneliness and bring everything to a comsummate end . Characters ( edit ) Meursault is a French Algerian who learns of his mother 's death by telegram . Meursault 's indifference to his mother 's death demonstrates some emotional detachment from his environment . Other instances are shown . Meursault is also a truthful person , speaking his mind without regard for others . He is regarded as a stranger to society due to his indifference . Meursault 's mother was sent to an old people 's home three years prior to her death , as noted in the opening lines of the novel . As Meursault nears the time for his execution , he feels a kinship with his mother , thinking she , too , embraced a meaningless universe . Raymond Sintès is a neighbour of Meursault who beats his Arab mistress . Her brother and friends try to take revenge . He brings Meursault into the conflict , and the latter kills the brother . Raymond and Meursault seem to develop a bond , and he testifies for Meursault during his trial . Marie Cardona was a typist in the same workplace as Meursault . A day after he attends his mother 's funeral , she meets him at a public beach , and they begin a relationship . Marie , like Meursault , enjoys sex . She represents the enjoyable life Meursault wants , and he misses her while in jail . Masson is the owner of the beach house where Raymond takes Marie and Meursault . Masson is a carefree person who likes to live his life and be happy . Salamano is an old man who routinely walks his dog . He abuses it but is still attached to it . When he loses his dog , he is distressed and asks Meursault for advice . The Arabs include Raymond 's mistress , her brother and assumed friends . None of the Arabs in The Stranger are named , reflecting the distance between the French colonists and indigenous people . The Arab ( the brother of the mistress of Raymond ) is a man shot and killed by Meursault on a beach in colonial Algiers . Critical analysis ( edit ) In his 1956 analysis of the novel , Carl Viggiani wrote : On the surface , L'Etranger gives the appearance of being an extremely simple though carefully planned and written book . In reality , it is a dense and rich creation , full of undiscovered meanings and formal qualities . It would take a book at least the length of the novel to make a complete analysis of meaning and form and the correspondences of meaning and form , in L'Etranger . Victor Brombert has analysed L'Etranger and Sartre 's `` Explication de L'Etranger '' in the philosophical context of the Absurd . Louis Hudon has dismissed characterisation of L'Etranger as an existentialist novel in his 1960 analysis . The 1963 study by Ignace Feuerlicht begins with an examination of the themes of alienation , in the sense of Meursault being a ' stranger ' in his society . In his 1970 analysis , Leo Bersani commented that L'Etranger is `` mediocre '' in its attempt to be a `` ' profound ' novel '' , but describes the novel as an `` impressive if flawed exercise in a kind of writing promoted by the New Novelists of the 1950s '' . Paul P. Somers Jr has compared Camus ' L'Etranger and Sartre 's Nausea , in light of Sartre 's essay on Camus ' novel . Sergei Hackel has explored parallels between L'Etranger and Dostoyevsky 's Crime and Punishment . Terry Otten has studied in detail the relationship between Meursault and his mother . Gerald Morreale examines Meursault 's killing of the Arab and the question of whether Meursault 's action is an act of murder . Ernest Simon has examined the nature of Meursault 's trial in L'Etranger , with respect to earlier analysis by Richard Weisberg and Richard A. Posner . René Girard has critiqued the relative nature of ' indifference ' in the character of Meursault in relation to his surrounding society . Kamel Daoud has written a novel The Meursault Investigation ( 2013 / 2014 ) , first published in Algeria in 2013 , and then republished in France to critical acclaim . This postcolonialist response to The Stranger counters Camus ' version , elements from the perspective of the brother of the unnamed Arab victim ( naming him and presenting him as a real person who was mourned ) and other protagonists . Daoud explores their subsequent lives following the withdrawal of French authorities and most pied - noirs from Algeria after the conclusion of the Algerian War of Independence in 1962 . Publication history and English translations ( edit ) On 27 May 1941 , Camus was informed about the changes suggested by André Malraux after he had read the manuscript and took his remarks into account . For instance , Malraux thought the minimalist syntactic structure was too repetitive . Some scenes and passages ( the murder , the conversation with the chaplain ) should also be revised . The manuscript was then read by editors Jean Paulhan and Raymond Queneau . Gerhard Heller , a German editor , translator and lieutenant in the Wehrmacht working for the Censorship Bureau offered to help . The book was eventually published in June 1942 -- 4,400 copies of it were printed . 1942 , L'Étranger ( French ) , Paris : Gallimard 1946 , The Outsider ( translated by Stuart Gilbert ) , London : Hamish Hamilton ( USA edition published in 1946 by Alfred A. Knopf as The Stranger ) 1982 , The Outsider ( translated by Joseph Laredo ) , London : Hamish Hamilton , ISBN 978 - 0 - 141 - 18250 - 6 1989 , The Stranger ( translated by Matthew Ward ) , New York : Vintage , ISBN 978 - 0 - 679 - 72020 - 1 2012 , The Outsider ( translated by Sandra Smith ) , London : Penguin , ISBN 978 - 0 - 141 - 38958 - 5 Gallimard first published the original French - language novel in 1942 . A British author , Stuart Gilbert , first translated L'Étranger into English in 1946 ; for more than thirty years his version was the standard English translation . Gilbert 's choice of title , The Stranger , was changed by Hamish Hamilton to The Outsider , because they considered it `` more striking and appropriate '' and because Maria Kuncewiczowa 's Polish novel Cudzoziemka had recently been published in London as The Stranger . In the United States , Knopf had already typeset the manuscript using Gilbert 's original title when informed of the name change and so disregarded it ; the British - American difference in titles has persisted in subsequent editions . In 1982 , the British publisher Hamish Hamilton , which had issued Gilbert 's translation , published a translation by Joseph Laredo , also as The Outsider . Penguin Books bought this version in 1983 for a paperback edition . In 1988 , Vintage published a version in the United States with a translation by American Matthew Ward under the standard American title of The Stranger . Camus was influenced by American literary style , and Ward 's translation expresses American usage . A new translation of The Outsider by Sandra Smith was published by Penguin in 2012 . A critical difference among these translations is the expression of emotion in the sentence towards the close of the novel : `` I laid my heart open to the benign indifference of the universe '' in Gilbert 's translation , versus Laredo 's `` I laid my heart open to the gentle indifference of the universe '' ( original French : la tendre indifférence du monde ; literally , `` the tender indifference of the world '' ) . The Penguin Classics 2000 reprint of Laredo 's translation has `` gentle '' changed to `` benign '' . The ending lines differ as well : Gilbert translates `` on the day of my execution there should be a huge crowd of spectators and that they should greet me with howls of execration '' , which contrasts with Laredo 's translation of `` greet me with cries of hatred . '' This passage describes a scene that would serve as a foil to the prior `` indifference of the world '' . In French , the phrase is `` cris de haine '' . Ward translates this as `` with cries of hate '' . Gilbert juxtaposes `` execration '' with `` execution '' . `` Aujourd'hui , Maman est morte '' is the opening sentence of the novel . English translations have rendered the first sentence as ' Mother died today ' , ' Maman died today ' , or a variant thereof . In 2012 Ryan Bloom argued that it should be translated as ' Today , Maman died . ' He believes this better expresses the character of Meursault , as developed in the novel , as someone who ' lives for the moment ' , ' does not consciously dwell on the past ' , and ' does not worry about the future ' . Adaptations and allusions ( edit ) Film adaptations / allusions ( edit ) Direct adaptations ( edit ) 1967 Lo Straniero by Luchino Visconti ( Italian ) 2001 Yazgı ( Fate ) by Zeki Demirkubuz 's ( Turkish ) Allusions ( edit ) 2001 The Man Who Was n't There ( 2001 film ) by Coen brothers Literature. ( edit ) The Meursault Investigation by Kamel Daoud is a counter to the story from the perspective of a man described as the brother of the murdered `` The Arab '' , who he says was named Musa and who existed and was mourned by his family . In song ( edit ) `` Killing an Arab '' , the 1979 debut single by the Cure , was described by Robert Smith as `` a short poetic attempt at condensing my impression of the key moments in ' L'Étranger ' ( sic ) ( The Outsider ) by Albert Camus '' . `` Noch koroche dnya '' , from the 1995 album of the same name by the Russian heavy metal band Aria , is based on Meursault 's encounter with the chaplain in the final scene of the novel . It is also narrated from Meursault 's first - person perspective and includes ( in Russian ) the line , `` The cries of hate will be my reward / Upon my death , I will not be alone '' . At the end of `` Asa Phelps Is Dead '' , from the album Ghost Stories by The Lawrence Arms , the passage in which Meursault accepts his impending execution is read by Chris McCaughan . It parallels certain themes in the song 's lyrics . Folk Singer - Songwriter Eric Andersen features a song called `` The Stranger ( Song of Revenge ) '' as one of 4 songs based on Camus ' works on his 2014 EP The Shadow and Light of Albert Camus .

who has won the most balon de oro
Ballon d'Or - wikipedia Ballon d'Or Jump to : navigation , search Michel Platini , pictured with the 1985 Ballon d'Or , won the award three times in succession . The Ballon d'Or ( French pronunciation : ​ ( balɔ̃ dɔʁ ) ; `` Golden Ball '' ) , is an annual football award presented by France Football . It has been awarded since 1956 , although between 2010 and 2015 , an agreement was made with FIFA and the award was temporarily merged with the FIFA World Player of the Year , and known as the FIFA Ballon d'Or , but the partnership was ended in 2016 and the award been reversed back to Ballon d'Or while FIFA also renamed its traditional award . Conceived by sports writer Gabriel Hanot , the Ballon d'Or award honours the male player deemed to have performed the best over the previous year , based on voting by football journalists . Originally , only European players were in contention for the Ballon d'Or : in 1995 the award was expanded to include all players at European clubs and in 2007 to all players from around the world .

Prior to 1995 , the award was often known in English language media as the European Footballer of the Year award . Milan 's George Weah , the only African recipient , became the first non-European to win the award in the year the rules of eligibility were changed . Ronaldo of Internazionale became the first South American winner two years later . Three players have won the award three times each : Johan Cruyff of Ajax and Barcelona , Michel Platini of Juventus and Marco van Basten of Milan . With seven awards each , Dutch and German players won the most Ballons d'Or . Spanish club Barcelona had the most winners . Between 2010 and 2015 inclusive the award was merged with a similar award , the FIFA World Player of the Year award , to create the FIFA Ballon d'Or , which was awarded to the world 's best male player , before FIFA and France Football broke the merging agreement . After 2011 , UEFA created the UEFA Best Player in Europe Award to maintain the format of the original Ballon d'Or .

A decade later , France Football elected Pelé the Football Player of the Century after consulting their former Ballon d'Or recipients . Among the 34 previous winners , 30 cast their votes ; Stanley Matthews , Omar Sívori and George Best abstained , and Lev Yashin had died . Each voter was allotted five votes worth up to five points ; however , Di Stéfano only chose a first place , Platini a first and second place , and George Weah two players for fifth place . Pelé was named the greatest by 17 voters , receiving almost double the number of points earned by the runner - up , Diego Maradona .

UNICEF - Wikipedia UNICEF Jump to : navigation , search United Nations Children 's Fund <Td_colspan="2"> Abbreviation UNICEF Established 11 December 1946 Type Fund Legal status Active Headquarters New York City , Geneva Executive Director Anthony Lake Parent organization United Nations Affiliations United Nations Revenue $5,009,557,471 Website www.unicef.org The United Nations Children 's Fund ( UNICEF / ˈjuːnɪsɛf / ) is a United Nations ( UN ) programme headquartered in New York City that provides humanitarian and developmental assistance to children and mothers in developing countries . It is a member of the United Nations Development Group . The United Nations International Children 's Emergency Fund was created by the United Nations General Assembly on the 11th of December 1946 , to provide emergency food and healthcare to children in countries that had been devastated by World War II . The Polish physician Ludwik Rajchman is widely regarded as the founder of UNICEF and served as its first chairman from 1946 . On Rajchman 's suggestion , the American Maurice Pate was appointed its first executive director , serving from 1947 until his death in 1965 . In 1950 , UNICEF 's mandate was extended to address the long - term needs of children and women in developing countries everywhere . In 1953 it became a permanent part of the United Nations System , and the words `` international '' and `` emergency '' were dropped from the organization 's name , making it simply the United Nations Children 's Fund , retaining the original acronym , `` UNICEF '' . UNICEF relies on contributions from governments and private donors , UNICEF 's total income for 2015 was US $5,009,557,471 . Governments contribute two - thirds of the organization 's resources . Private groups and individuals contribute the rest through national committees . It is estimated that 92 per cent of UNICEF revenue is distributed to programme services . UNICEF 's programmes emphasize developing community - level services to promote the health and well - being of children . UNICEF was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1965 and the Prince of Asturias Award of Concord in 2006 . Most of UNICEF 's work is in the field , with staff in over 190 countries and territories . More than 200 country offices carry out UNICEF 's mission through programmes developed with host governments . Seven regional offices provide technical assistance to country offices as needed . UNICEF 's Supply Division is based in Copenhagen and serves as the primary point of distribution for such essential items as vaccines , antiretroviral medicines for children and mothers with HIV , nutritional supplements , emergency shelters , family reunification , and educational supplies . A 36 - member executive board establishes policies , approves programmes and oversees administrative and financial plans . The executive board is made up of government representatives who are elected by the United Nations Economic and Social Council , usually for three - year terms .

This five - year programme focuses on practical ways to realize the rights of children and women . Regional offices guide this work and provide technical assistance to country offices as needed . Overall management and administration of the organization takes place at headquarters , where global policy on children is shaped . Guiding and monitoring all of UNICEF 's work is a 36 - member Executive Board made up of government representatives . They establish policies , approve programmes and decide on administrative and financial plans and budgets . Executive Board 's work is coordinated by the Bureau , comprising the President and four Vice-Presidents ( Total 5 ) , each officer representing one of the five regional groups . These five officers , each one representing one of the five regional groups , are elected by the Executive Board each year from among its members , with the presidency rotating among the regional groups on an annual basis . As a matter of custom , permanent members of the Security Council do not serve as officers of the Executive Board . Office of the Secretary of the Executive Board supports and services the Executive Board . It is responsible for maintaining an effective relationship between the Executive Board and the UNICEF secretariat , and helps to organize the field visits of the Executive Board . UNICEF School in a box contains basic educational items for one teacher and 40 students UNICEF national committees ( edit ) See also : List of UNICEF National Committees There are national committees in 34 ( industrialized ) countries , each established as an independent local non-governmental organization . The national committees raise funds from the private sector . UNICEF is funded entirely by voluntary contributions , and the National Committees collectively raise around one - third of UNICEF 's annual income . This comes through contributions from corporations , civil society organizations around six million individual donors worldwide . Promotion and fundraising ( edit ) In the United States , Canada and some other countries , UNICEF is known for its `` Trick - Or - Treat for UNICEF '' programme in which children collect money for UNICEF from the houses they trick - or - treat on Halloween night , sometimes instead of candy . UNICEF is present in 191 countries and territories around the world , but not involved in nine others ( Bahamas , Brunei , Cyprus , Latvia , Liechtenstein , Malta , Mauritius , Monaco , and Singapore ) . Many people in developed countries first hear about UNICEF 's work through the activities of one of the 36 National Committees for UNICEF . These non-governmental organizations ( NGO ) are primarily responsible for fundraising , selling UNICEF greeting cards and products , creating private and public partnerships , advocating for children 's rights , and providing other support . The US Fund for UNICEF is the oldest of the national committees , founded in 1947 . On 19 April 2007 , Grand Duchess Maria Teresa of Luxembourg was appointed UNICEF Eminent Advocate for Children , in which role she has visited Brazil ( 2007 ) , China ( 2008 ) , and Burundi ( 2009 ) . In 2009 , the British retailer Tesco used `` Change for Good '' as advertising , which is trademarked by UNICEF for charity usage but not for commercial or retail use . This prompted the agency to say , `` it is the first time in Unicef 's history that a commercial entity has purposely set out to capitalise on one of our campaigns and subsequently damage an income stream which several of our programmes for children are dependent on '' . They went on to call on the public `` who have children 's welfare at heart , to consider carefully who they support when making consumer choices '' . Sponsorship ( edit ) Lionel Messi who is also a wearing a Barcelona shirt showing the UNICEF logo On 7 September 2006 , an agreement between UNICEF and the Spanish Catalan association football club FC Barcelona was reached whereby the club would donate 1.5 million Euros per year to the organization for five years . As part of the agreement , FC Barcelona would wear the UNICEF logo on the front of their uniforms . This was the first time a football club sponsored an organization rather than the other way around . It was also the first time in FC Barcelona 's history that they have had another organization 's name across the front of their uniform . In January 2007 UNICEF struck a partnership with Canada 's national tent pegging team . The team was officially re-flagged as `` UNICEF Team Canada '' , its riders wear UNICEF 's logo in competition , and team members promote and raise funds for UNICEF 's campaign against childhood HIV - AIDS . When the team became the 2008 tent pegging world champions , UNICEF 's flag was raised alongside the Canadian flag at the games , the first time in the history of international Grand Prix equestrian competition that a non-state flag has flown over the medal podium . The Swedish club Hammarby IF followed the Spanish and Canadian lead on 14 April 2007 , also raising funds for UNICEF and displaying the UNICEF name on their sportswear . The Danish football club Brøndby IF participated in a similar arrangement from 2008 to 2013 . Australian A-League club Sydney FC announced they would also enter into a partnership with UNICEF raising funds for children in the Asia - Pacific region , and would also display the UNICEF logo for the remainder of the 2011 - 12 A-League season . Race driver Jacques Villeneuve has occasionally placed the UNICEF logo on the # 27 Bill Davis Racing pickup truck in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series . In Botswana , UNICEF has funded the development of new state - of - the - art HIV / AIDS education for every schoolchild in Botswana from nonprofit organization TeachAIDS . UNICEF recently announced a landmark partnership with Scottish club Rangers F.C. UNICEF will partner the Rangers Charity Foundation and have pledged to raise £ 300,000 by 2011 . In 2010 , UNICEF created a partnership with Phi Iota Alpha , making them the first Greek Lettered Organization UNICEF has ever worked with . In 2011 , Phi Iota Alpha raised over $20,000 for the Tap Project and the Trick or Treats for UNICEF Campaign . In 2013 , they agreed a contract with Greek association football champions Olympiacos F.C. who will show the organization 's logo on the front of their shirts . UNICEF Kid Power ( edit ) Main article : UNICEF Kid Power Started in 2015 , Kid Power is a division of UNICEF that was created as an effort to involve kids in helping other kids in need . UNICEF Kid Power developed the world 's first Wearable for Good , called Kid Power Bands , which is a kids ' fitness tracker bracelet that connects to a smartphone app . The app lets users complete missions , which counts total steps and awards points . The points then unlock funding from partners , which is then used by UNICEF to deliver lifesaving packets of therapeutic food to severely malnourished children around the world . Trick - or - Treat UNICEF box ( edit ) Main article : Trick - or - Treat for UNICEF Since 1950 , when a group of children in Philadelphia , Pennsylvania , donated $17 which they received on Halloween to help post-World War II victims , the Trick - or - Treat UNICEF box has become a tradition in North America during the fall . These small orange boxes are handed to children at schools and other locations before 31 October . As of 2012 , the Trick - or - Treat for UNICEF campaign has collected approximately CAD 91 million in Canada and over US $ 167 million in the U.S. Cartoons for children 's rights ( edit ) Main article : Cartoons for Children 's Rights In 1994 , UNICEF held a summit encouraging animation studios around the world to create individual animated spots demonstrating the international rights of children . Cartoons for Children 's Rights is the collection of animated shorts based on UNICEF 's Convention on the Rights of the Child . Corporate partnership ( edit ) To raise money to support its Education and Literacy Programmes , UNICEF collaborates with companies worldwide -- international as well as small - and medium - sized businesses . Since 2004 , the organization has been supported by Montblanc , working collaboratively to help the world 's children getting better access to education . According to Vaccine News Daily , Merck & Co. partnered with UNICEF in June 2013 to decrease maternal mortality , HIV and tuberculosis prevalence in South Africa . Merck 's programme `` Merck for Mothers '' will give US $500 million worldwide for programmes that improve health for expectant mothers and their children . In May 2010 , Crucell N.V. announced an additional US $110 million award from UNICEF to supply its pentavalent pediatric vaccine Quinvaxem to the developing world . Corporate Social Responsibility ( edit ) UNICEF works directly with companies to improve their business practices , bringing them in line with obligations under international law , and ensuring that they respect children 's rights in the realms of the marketplace , workplace , and the community . In 2012 , UNICEF worked with Save the Children and The United Nations Global Compact to develop the Children 's Rights and Business Principles and now these guidelines form the basis UNICEF 's advice to companies . UNICEF works with companies seeking to improve their social sustainability by guiding them through a due diligence process where issues throughout their supply chain , such as child labour , can be identified and actions to ratify them are put in place . Girl Star ( edit ) The Girl Star project is a series of films which documents stories of girls from the most disadvantaged communities across five northern states in India who , through via education , have managed to break socio - economic constraints to make a success of their lives and become self - sufficient . These young women have grown to become role models in their communities , inspiring younger girls to go to school and continue their education . They have selected professions from the most conventional such as teaching and nursing , to the most unconventional like archery , bee - keeping , scrap management , often entering what has traditionally been a man 's domain . Girl star is also one of unices most known projects . Celebrity Ambassadors ( edit ) Main article : List of UNICEF Goodwill Ambassadors UNICEF Ambassadors are leaders in the entertainment industry , representing the fields of film , television , music , sports and beyond . They help raise awareness of the needs of children , and use their talent and fame to fund - raise , advocate , and educate on behalf of UNICEF . Facilities ( edit ) One of the gates to the old UNICEF World Warehouse The UNICEF research centre in Florence UNICEF world warehouse ( edit ) The old UNICEF World Warehouse is a large facility in Denmark , which hosts UNICEF deliverable goods as well as co-hosts emergency goods for United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees ( UNHCR ) and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies ( IFRC ) . Until 2012 the facilities was a 25,000 m warehouse at Marmormolen in Copenhagen . With construction of a 45,000 m UN City that is to house all UN activities in Copenhagen under one roof , the warehouse service has been relocated to outer parts of the Freeport of Copenhagen . The facility houses the UNICEF Supply Division which manages strategic transport hubs in Dubai , Panama and Shanghai . The warehouse contains a variety of items , e.g. , food supplements , water purification tablets , dietary and vitamin supplements , and the `` School in a box '' ( illustrated above ) . UNICEF Innocenti research centre ( edit ) The UNICEF Innocenti Research Centre in Florence , Italy , was established in 1988 . The centre , formally known as the International Child Development Centres , has as its prime objectives to improve international understanding of issues relating to children 's rights , to promote economic policies that advance the cause of children , and to help facilitate the full implementation of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child in industrialized and developing countries . The programme for 2006 -- 2008 was approved by UNICEF Executive Board in September 2005 . This section needs to be updated . Please update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information . ( August 2015 ) It reaffirms the centre 's academic freedom and the focus of IRC 's research on knowledge gaps , emerging questions and sensitive issues which are relevant to the realization of children 's rights , in developing and industrialized countries . It capitalizes on IRC 's role as an interface between UNICEF field experience , international experts , research networks and policy makers and is designed to strengthen the centre 's institutional collaboration with regional academic and policy institutions , pursuing the following goals : Generation and communication of strategic and influential knowledge on issues affecting children and the realization of their rights ; Knowledge exchange and brokering ; Support to UNICEF 's advocacy , policy 's and programme development in support of the Millennium Agenda Securing and strengthening the centre 's institutional and financial basis . Three interrelated strategies guide the achievement of these goals : Evidence - based analysis drawing on quantitative and qualitative information , the application of appropriate methodologies , and the development of recommendations to assess and inform advocacy and policy action . Enhanced partnerships with research and policy institutions and development actors , globally and at regional level , in developing and industrialized countries . Communication and leveraging of research findings and recommendations to support policy development and advocacy initiatives through strategic dissemination of studies and contribution to relevant events and fora . Controversies ( edit ) Adoption program ( edit ) UNICEF has a policy preferring orphanages only be used as temporary accommodation for children when there is no alternative . UNICEF has historically opposed the creation of large - scale , permanent orphanages for children , preferring instead to find children places in their ( extended ) families and communities , wherever possible . This has led UNICEF to be skeptical of international adoption efforts as a solution to child care problems in developing countries ; UNICEF has preferred to see children cared for in their birth countries rather than be adopted by foreign parents . Major news outlets such as US News have asserted UNICEF 's intervention when giving large cash payments to developing countries can lead to a cessation of international adoptions until all of its recommendations are in place , and have even labeled UNICEF a `` villain '' for the extent of its negative impact on orphans . Elizabeth Bartholet and Paulo Barrozo have written in this context , encouraging adoption protocols to take on a more child - centric viewpoint . Infant mortality ( edit ) One concern is that the child mortality rate has not decreased in some areas as rapidly as had been planned , especially in Sub-Saharan Africa , where in 2013 `` the region still has the highest child mortality rate : 92 deaths per 1000 live births '' . and that `` Globally , nearly half of under - five deaths are attributable to undernutrition . '' In 2005 , Richard Horton editor - in - chief of The Lancet , editorialized that `` over 60 % of these deaths were and remain preventable '' and that the coverage levels for these interventions are `` appallingly low in the 42 countries that account for 90 % of child deaths '' . Nsa surveillance ( edit ) Further information : Global surveillance disclosure Documents released by Edward Snowden in December 2013 showed that UNICEF was among the surveillance targets of British and American intelligence agencies .

The lyrics come from `` Defence of Fort M'Henry '' , a poem written on September 14 , 1814 , by the 35 - year - old lawyer and amateur poet Francis Scott Key after witnessing the bombardment of Fort McHenry by British ships of the Royal Navy in Baltimore Harbor during the Battle of Baltimore in the War of 1812 . Key was inspired by the large American flag , with 15 stars and 15 stripes , known as the Star - Spangled Banner , flying triumphantly above the fort during the American victory . The poem was set to the tune of a popular British song written by John Stafford Smith for the Anacreontic Society , a men 's social club in London . `` To Anacreon in Heaven '' ( or `` The Anacreontic Song '' ) , with various lyrics , was already popular in the United States . Set to Key 's poem and renamed `` The Star - Spangled Banner '' , it soon became a well - known American patriotic song . With a range of 19 semitones , it is known for being difficult to sing . Although the poem has four stanzas , only the first is commonly sung today . `` The Star - Spangled Banner '' was recognized for official use by the United States Navy in 1889 , and by U.S. President Woodrow Wilson in 1916 , and was made the national anthem by a congressional resolution on March 3 , 1931 ( 46 Stat. 1508 , codified at 36 U.S.C. § 301 ) , which was signed by President Herbert Hoover . Before 1931 , other songs served as the hymns of American officialdom . `` Hail , Columbia '' served this purpose at official functions for most of the 19th century . `` My Country , ' Tis of Thee '' , whose melody is identical to `` God Save the Queen '' , the British national anthem , also served as a de facto anthem . Following the War of 1812 and subsequent American wars , other songs emerged to compete for popularity at public events , among them `` America the Beautiful '' .

It is now on display at the Maryland Historical Society . On September 3 , 1814 , following the Burning of Washington and the Raid on Alexandria , Francis Scott Key and John Stuart Skinner set sail from Baltimore aboard the ship HMS Minden , flying a flag of truce on a mission approved by President James Madison . Their objective was to secure an exchange of prisoners , one of whom was Dr. William Beanes , the elderly and popular town physician of Upper Marlboro and a friend of Key 's who had been captured in his home . Beanes was accused of aiding the arrest of British soldiers . Key and Skinner boarded the British flagship HMS Tonnant on September 7 and spoke with Major General Robert Ross and Vice Admiral Alexander Cochrane over dinner while the two officers discussed war plans . At first , Ross and Cochrane refused to release Beanes but relented after Key and Skinner showed them letters written by wounded British prisoners praising Beanes and other Americans for their kind treatment . Because Key and Skinner had heard details of the plans for the attack on Baltimore , they were held captive until after the battle , first aboard HMS Surprise and later back on HMS Minden . After the bombardment , certain British gunboats attempted to slip past the fort and effect a landing in a cove to the west of it , but they were turned away by fire from nearby Fort Covington , the city 's last line of defense . An artist 's rendering of the battle at Fort McHenry During the rainy night , Key had witnessed the bombardment and observed that the fort 's smaller `` storm flag '' continued to fly , but once the shell and Congreve rocket barrage had stopped , he would not know how the battle had turned out until dawn . On the morning of September 14 , the storm flag had been lowered and the larger flag had been raised . During the bombardment , HMS Terror and HMS Meteor provided some of the `` bombs bursting in air '' . The 15 - star , 15 - stripe `` Star - Spangled Banner '' that inspired the poem Key was inspired by the American victory and the sight of the large American flag flying triumphantly above the fort . This flag , with fifteen stars and fifteen stripes , had been made by Mary Young Pickersgill together with other workers in her home on Baltimore 's Pratt Street . The flag later came to be known as the Star - Spangled Banner and is today on display in the National Museum of American History , a treasure of the Smithsonian Institution . It was restored in 1914 by Amelia Fowler , and again in 1998 as part of an ongoing conservation program . Aboard the ship the next day , Key wrote a poem on the back of a letter he had kept in his pocket . At twilight on September 16 , he and Skinner were released in Baltimore . He completed the poem at the Indian Queen Hotel , where he was staying , and titled it `` Defence of Fort M'Henry '' . Much of the idea of the poem , including the flag imagery and some of the wording , is derived from an earlier song by Key , also set to the tune of `` The Anacreontic Song '' . The song , known as `` When the Warrior Returns '' , was written in honor of Stephen Decatur and Charles Stewart on their return from the First Barbary War . Absent elaboration by Francis Scott Key prior to his death in 1843 , some have speculated in modern times about the meaning of phrases or verses . According to British historian Robin Blackburn , the words `` the hireling and slave '' allude to the thousands of ex-slaves in the British ranks organised as the Corps of Colonial Marines , who had been liberated by the British and demanded to be placed in the battle line `` where they might expect to meet their former masters . '' Nevertheless , Professor Mark Clague , a professor of musicology at the University of Michigan , argues that the `` middle two verses of Key 's lyric vilify the British enemy in the War of 1812 '' and `` in no way glorifies or celebrates slavery . '' Clague writes that `` For Key ... the British mercenaries were scoundrels and the Colonial Marines were traitors who threatened to spark a national insurrection . '' This harshly anti-British nature of Verse 3 led to its omission in sheet music in World War I , when Britain and the U.S. were allies . Responding to the assertion of writer Jon Schwarz of The Intercept that the song is a `` celebration of slavery , '' Clague said that : `` The reference to slaves is about the use and in some sense the manipulation , of black Americans to fight for the British , with the promise of freedom . The American forces included African - Americans as well as whites . The term ' freemen , ' whose heroism is celebrated in the fourth stanza , would have encompassed both . '' Others suggest that `` Key may have intended the phrase as a reference to the British Navy 's practice of impressment ( kidnapping sailors and forcing them to fight in defense of the crown ) , or as a semi-metaphorical slap at the British invading force as a whole ( which included a large number of mercenaries ) . '' John Stafford Smith 's music ( edit ) Sheet music version Play ( help info ) The memorial to John Stafford Smith in Gloucester Cathedral , Gloucester , England Key gave the poem to his brother - in - law Judge Joseph H. Nicholson who saw that the words fit the popular melody `` The Anacreontic Song '' , by English composer John Stafford Smith . This was the official song of the Anacreontic Society , an 18th - century gentlemen 's club of amateur musicians in London . Nicholson took the poem to a printer in Baltimore , who anonymously made the first known broadside printing on September 17 ; of these , two known copies survive . On September 20 , both the Baltimore Patriot and The American printed the song , with the note `` Tune : Anacreon in Heaven '' . The song quickly became popular , with seventeen newspapers from Georgia to New Hampshire printing it . Soon after , Thomas Carr of the Carr Music Store in Baltimore published the words and music together under the title `` The Star Spangled Banner '' , although it was originally called `` Defence of Fort M'Henry '' . Thomas Carr 's arrangement introduced the raised fourth which became the standard deviation from `` The Anacreontic Song '' . The song 's popularity increased and its first public performance took place in October when Baltimore actor Ferdinand Durang sang it at Captain McCauley 's tavern . Washington Irving , then editor of the Analectic Magazine in Philadelphia , reprinted the song in November 1814 . By the early 20th century , there were various versions of the song in popular use . Seeking a singular , standard version , President Woodrow Wilson tasked the U.S. Bureau of Education with providing that official version . In response , the Bureau enlisted the help of five musicians to agree upon an arrangement . Those musicians were Walter Damrosch , Will Earhart , Arnold J. Gantvoort , Oscar Sonneck and John Philip Sousa . The standardized version that was voted upon by these five musicians premiered at Carnegie Hall on December 5 , 1917 , in a program that included Edward Elgar 's Carillon and Gabriel Pierné 's The Children 's Crusade . The concert was put on by the Oratorio Society of New York and conducted by Walter Damrosch . An official handwritten version of the final votes of these five men has been found and shows all five men 's votes tallied , measure by measure . National anthem ( edit ) Commemorative plaque in Washington , D.C. marking the site at 601 Pennsylvania Avenue where `` The Star - Spangled Banner '' was first publicly sung One of two surviving copies of the 1814 broadside printing of the `` Defence of Fort M'Henry '' , a poem that later became the lyrics of `` The Star - Spangled Banner '' , the national anthem of the United States . The song gained popularity throughout the 19th century and bands played it during public events , such as July 4th celebrations . A plaque displayed at Fort Meade , South Dakota , claims that the idea of making `` The Star Spangled Banner '' the national anthem began on their parade ground in 1892 . Colonel Caleb Carlton , Post Commander , established the tradition that the song be played `` at retreat and at the close of parades and concerts . '' Carlton explained the custom to Governor Sheldon of South Dakota who `` promised me that he would try to have the custom established among the state militia . '' Carlton wrote that after a similar discussion , Secretary of War , Daniel E. Lamont issued an order that it `` be played at every Army post every evening at retreat . '' In 1899 , the US Navy officially adopted `` The Star - Spangled Banner '' . In 1916 , President Woodrow Wilson ordered that `` The Star - Spangled Banner '' be played at military and other appropriate occasions . The playing of the song two years later during the seventh - inning stretch of Game One of the 1918 World Series , and thereafter during each game of the series is often cited as the first instance that the anthem was played at a baseball game , though evidence shows that the `` Star - Spangled Banner '' was performed as early as 1897 at opening day ceremonies in Philadelphia and then more regularly at the Polo Grounds in New York City beginning in 1898 . In any case , the tradition of performing the national anthem before every baseball game began in World War II . On April 10 , 1918 , John Charles Linthicum , U.S. Congressman from Maryland , introduced a bill to officially recognize `` The Star - Spangled Banner '' as the national anthem . The bill did not pass . On April 15 , 1929 , Linthicum introduced the bill again , his sixth time doing so . On November 3 , 1929 , Robert Ripley drew a panel in his syndicated cartoon , Ripley 's Believe it or Not ! , saying `` Believe It or Not , America has no national anthem '' . In 1930 , Veterans of Foreign Wars started a petition for the United States to officially recognize `` The Star - Spangled Banner '' as the national anthem . Five million people signed the petition . The petition was presented to the United States House Committee on the Judiciary on January 31 , 1930 . On the same day , Elsie Jorss - Reilley and Grace Evelyn Boudlin sang the song to the Committee to refute the perception that it was too high pitched for a typical person to sing . The Committee voted in favor of sending the bill to the House floor for a vote . The House of Representatives passed the bill later that year . The Senate passed the bill on March 3 , 1931 . President Herbert Hoover signed the bill on March 4 , 1931 , officially adopting `` The Star - Spangled Banner '' as the national anthem of the United States of America . As currently codified , the United States Code states that `` ( t ) he composition consisting of the words and music known as the Star - Spangled Banner is the national anthem .

( November 2012 ) Crowd performing the U.S. national anthem before a baseball game at Coors Field The song is notoriously difficult for nonprofessionals to sing because of its wide range -- a 12th . Humorist Richard Armour referred to the song 's difficulty in his book It All Started With Columbus . In an attempt to take Baltimore , the British attacked Fort McHenry , which protected the harbor . Bombs were soon bursting in air , rockets were glaring , and all in all it was a moment of great historical interest . During the bombardment , a young lawyer named Francis Off Key ( sic ) wrote `` The Star - Spangled Banner '' , and when , by the dawn 's early light , the British heard it sung , they fled in terror . -- Richard Armour Professional and amateur singers have been known to forget the words , which is one reason the song is sometimes pre-recorded and lip - synced . Other times the issue is avoided by having the performer ( s ) play the anthem instrumentally instead of singing it . The pre-recording of the anthem has become standard practice at some ballparks , such as Boston 's Fenway Park , according to the SABR publication The Fenway Project . `` The Star - Spangled Banner '' is traditionally played at the beginning of public sports events and orchestral concerts in the United States , as well as other public gatherings . The National Hockey League and Major League Soccer both require venues in both the U.S. and Canada to perform both the Canadian and American national anthems at games that involve teams from both countries ( with the `` away '' anthem being performed first ) . It is also usual for both American and Canadian anthems ( done in the same way as the NHL and MLS ) to be played at Major League Baseball and National Basketball Association games involving the Toronto Blue Jays and the Toronto Raptors ( respectively ) , the only Canadian teams in those two major U.S. sports leagues , and in All Star Games on the MLB , NBA , and NHL . The Buffalo Sabres of the NHL , which play in a city on the Canada -- US border and have a substantial Canadian fan base , play both anthems before all home games regardless of where the visiting team is based . Two especially unusual performances of the song took place in the immediate aftermath of the United States September 11 attacks . On September 12 , 2001 , the Queen broke with tradition and allowed the Band of the Coldstream Guards to perform the anthem at Buckingham Palace , London , at the ceremonial Changing of the Guard , as a gesture of support for Britain 's ally . The following day at a St. Paul 's Cathedral memorial service , the Queen joined in the singing of the anthem , an unprecedented occurrence . 200th anniversary celebrations ( edit ) The 200th anniversary of the `` Star - Spangled Banner '' occurred in 2014 with various special events occurring throughout the United States . A particularly significant celebration occurred during the week of September 10 -- 16 in and around Baltimore , Maryland . Highlights included playing of a new arrangement of the anthem arranged by John Williams and participation of President Obama on Defender 's Day , September 12 , 2014 , at Fort McHenry . In addition , the anthem bicentennial included a youth music celebration including the presentation of the National Anthem Bicentennial Youth Challenge winning composition written by Noah Altshuler . Adaptations ( edit ) See also : The Star Spangled Banner ( Whitney Houston recording ) O'er the ramparts we watch in a 1945 United States Army Air Forces poster The first popular music performance of the anthem heard by the mainstream U.S. was by Puerto Rican singer and guitarist José Feliciano . He created a nationwide uproar when he strummed a slow , blues - style rendition of the song at Tiger Stadium in Detroit before game five of the 1968 World Series , between Detroit and St. Louis . This rendition started contemporary `` Star - Spangled Banner '' controversies . The response from many in the Vietnam War - era U.S. was generally negative . Despite the controversy , Feliciano 's performance opened the door for the countless interpretations of the `` Star - Spangled Banner '' heard in the years since . One week after Feliciano 's performance , the anthem was in the news again when American athletes Tommie Smith and John Carlos lifted controversial raised fists at the 1968 Olympics while the `` Star - Spangled Banner '' played at a medal ceremony . Marvin Gaye gave a soul - influenced performance at the 1983 NBA All - Star Game and Whitney Houston gave a soulful rendition before Super Bowl XXV in 1991 , which was released as a single that charted at number 20 in 1991 and number 6 in 2001 ( along with José Feliciano , the only times the anthem has been on the Billboard Hot 100 ) . In 1993 , Kiss did an instrumental rock version as the closing track on their album , Alive III . Another famous instrumental interpretation is Jimi Hendrix 's version , which was a set - list staple from autumn 1968 until his death in September 1970 , including a famous rendition at the Woodstock music festival in 1969 . Incorporating sonic effects to emphasize the `` rockets ' red glare '' , and `` bombs bursting in air '' , it became a late - 1960s emblem . Roseanne Barr gave a controversial performance of the anthem at a San Diego Padres baseball game at Jack Murphy Stadium on July 25 , 1990 . The comedian belted out a screechy rendition of the song , and afterward , she attempted a gesture of ballplayers by spitting and grabbing her crotch as if adjusting a protective cup . The performance offended some , including the sitting U.S. President , George H.W. Bush . Sufjan Stevens has frequently performed the `` Star - Spangled Banner '' in live sets , replacing the optimism in the end of the first verse with a new coda that alludes to the divisive state of the nation today . David Lee Roth both referenced parts of the anthem and played part of a hard rock rendition of the anthem on his song , `` Yankee Rose '' on his 1986 solo album , Eat ' Em and Smile . Steven Tyler also caused some controversy in 2001 ( at the Indianapolis 500 , to which he later issued a public apology ) and again in 2012 ( at the AFC Championship Game ) with a cappella renditions of the song with changed lyrics . A version of Aerosmith 's Joe Perry and Brad Whitford playing part of the song can be heard at the end of their version of `` Train Kept A-Rollin ' '' on the Rockin ' the Joint album . The band Boston gave an instrumental rock rendition of the anthem on their Greatest Hits album . The band Crush 40 made a version of the song as opening track from the album Thrill of the Feel ( 2000 ) . In March 2005 , a government - sponsored program , the National Anthem Project , was launched after a Harris Interactive poll showed many adults knew neither the lyrics nor the history of the anthem . Lyrics ( edit ) O say can you see , by the dawn 's early light , What so proudly we hailed at the twilight 's last gleaming , Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight , O'er the ramparts we watched , were so gallantly streaming ? And the rockets ' red glare , the bombs bursting in air , Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there ; O say does that star - spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave ? On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep , Where the foe 's haughty host in dread silence reposes , What is that which the breeze , o'er the towering steep , As it fitfully blows , half conceals , half discloses ? Now it catches the gleam of the morning 's first beam , In full glory reflected now shines in the stream : ' Tis the star - spangled banner , O long may it wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave . And where is that band who so vauntingly swore That the havoc of war and the battle 's confusion , A home and a country , should leave us no more ? Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps ' pollution . No refuge could save the hireling and slave From the terror of flight , or the gloom of the grave : And the star - spangled banner in triumph doth wave , O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave . O thus be it ever , when freemen shall stand Between their loved homes and the war 's desolation . Blest with vict'ry and peace , may the Heav'n rescued land Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation ! Then conquer we must , when our cause it is just , And this be our motto : ' In God is our trust . ' And the star - spangled banner in triumph shall wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave ! Cover of sheet music for `` The Star - Spangled Banner '' , transcribed for piano by Ch . Voss , Philadelphia : G. Andre & Co. , 1862 Additional Civil War period lyrics ( edit ) In indignation over the start of the American Civil War , Oliver Wendell Holmes , Sr. added a fifth stanza to the song in 1861 , which appeared in songbooks of the era . When our land is illumined with Liberty 's smile , If a foe from within strike a blow at her glory , Down , down with the traitor that dares to defile The flag of her stars and the page of her story ! By the millions unchained who our birthright have gained , We will keep her bright blazon forever unstained ! And the Star - Spangled Banner in triumph shall wave While the land of the free is the home of the brave . Alternative lyrics ( edit ) In a version hand - written by Francis Scott Key in 1840 , the third line reads `` Whose bright stars and broad stripes , through the clouds of the fight '' . References in film , television , literature ( edit ) Several films have their titles taken from the song 's lyrics . These include two films titled Dawn 's Early Light ( 2000 and 2005 ) ; two made - for - TV features titled By Dawn 's Early Light ( 1990 and 2000 ) ; two films titled So Proudly We Hail ( 1943 and 1990 ) ; a feature ( 1977 ) and a short ( 2005 ) titled Twilight 's Last Gleaming ; and four films titled Home of the Brave ( 1949 , 1986 , 2004 , and 2006 ) . A 1936 short titled `` The Song of a Nation '' from Warner Brothers shows a version of the origin of the song . Customs and federal law ( edit ) Plaque detailing how the custom of standing during the Anthem came about in Tacoma , Washington , on October 18 , 1893 , in the Bostwick building When the National Anthem was first recognized by law in 1932 , there was no prescription as to behavior during its playing . On June 22 , 1942 , the law was revised indicating that those in uniform should salute during its playing , while others should simply stand at attention , men removing their hats . ( The same code also required that women should place their hands over their hearts when the flag is displayed during the playing of the Anthem , but not if the flag was not present . ) On December 23 , 1942 , the law was again revised instructing men and women to stand at attention and face in the direction of the music when it was played . That revision also directed men and women to place their hands over their hearts only if the flag was displayed . Those in uniform were required to salute . On July 7 , 1976 , the law was simplified . Men and women were instructed to stand with their hands over their hearts , men removing their hats , irrespective of whether or not the flag was displayed and those in uniform saluting . On August 12 , 1998 , the law was rewritten keeping the same instructions , but differentiating between `` those in uniform '' and `` members of the Armed Forces and veterans '' who were both instructed to salute during the playing whether or not the flag was displayed . Because of the changes in law over the years and confusion between instructions for the Pledge of Allegiance versus the National Anthem , throughout most of the 20th century many people simply stood at attention or with their hands folded in front of them during the playing of the Anthem , and when reciting the Pledge they would hold their hand ( or hat ) over their heart . After 9 / 11 , the custom of placing the hand over the heart during the playing of the Anthem became nearly universal . Since 1998 , federal law ( viz. , the United States Code 36 U.S.C. § 301 ) states that during a rendition of the national anthem , when the flag is displayed , all present including those in uniform should stand at attention ; Non-military service individuals should face the flag with the right hand over the heart ; Members of the Armed Forces and veterans who are present and not in uniform may render the military salute ; Military service persons not in uniform should remove their headdress with their right hand and hold the headdress at the left shoulder , the hand being over the heart ; and Members of the Armed Forces and veterans who are in uniform should give the military salute at the first note of the anthem and maintain that position until the last note . The law further provides that when the flag is not displayed , all present should face toward the music and act in the same manner they would if the flag were displayed . Military law requires all vehicles on the installation to stop when the song is played and all individuals outside to stand at attention and face the direction of the music and either salute , in uniform , or place the right hand over the heart , if out of uniform . The law was amended in 2008 , and since allows military veterans to salute out of uniform , as well . The text of 36 U.S.C. § 301 is suggestive and not regulatory in nature . Failure to follow the suggestions is not a violation of the law . This behavioral requirement for the national anthem is subject to the same First Amendment controversies that surround the Pledge of Allegiance . For example , Jehovah 's Witnesses do not sing the national anthem , though they are taught that standing is an `` ethical decision '' that individual believers must make based on their `` conscience . '' Protests ( edit ) Main article : U.S. national anthem protests 1968 Olympics Black Power salute ( edit ) Main article : 1968 Olympics Black Power salute The 1968 Olympics Black Power salute was a political demonstration conducted by African - American athletes Tommie Smith and John Carlos during their medal ceremony at the 1968 Summer Olympics in the Olympic Stadium in Mexico City . After having won gold and bronze medals respectively in the 200 - meter running event , they turned on the podium to face their flags , and to hear the American national anthem , `` The Star - Spangled Banner '' . Each athlete raised a black - gloved fist , and kept them raised until the anthem had finished . In addition , Smith , Carlos , and Australian silver medalist Peter Norman all wore human rights badges on their jackets . In his autobiography , Silent Gesture , Smith stated that the gesture was not a `` Black Power '' salute , but a `` human rights salute '' . The event is regarded as one of the most overtly political statements in the history of the modern Olympic Games . 2016 protests ( edit ) Main article : U.S. national anthem protests ( 2016 -- present ) Politically motivated protests of the national anthem began in the National Football League ( NFL ) after San Francisco 49ers quarterback ( QB ) Colin Kaepernick sat during the anthem , as opposed to the tradition of standing , in response to police brutality in America , before his team 's third preseason game of 2016 . Kaepernick also sat during the first two preseason games , but he went unnoticed . NAACP call to remove the National anthem ( edit ) In November 2017 , the California Chapter of the NAACP called on Congress to remove The Star - Spangled Banner as the national anthem . Alice Huffman , California NAACP president said : `` it 's racist ; it does n't represent our community , it 's anti-black . '' The third stanza of the anthem , which is rarely sung and few know , contains the words , `` No refuge could save the hireling and slave , From the terror of flight , or the gloom of the grave : '' , which some interpret as racist . The organization was still seeking a representative to sponsor the legislation in Congress at the time of their announcement . Translations ( edit ) As a result of immigration to the United States and the incorporation of non-English speaking people into the country , the lyrics of the song have been translated into other languages . In 1861 , it was translated into German . The Library of Congress also has record of a Spanish - language version from 1919 . It has since been translated into Hebrew and Yiddish by Jewish immigrants , Latin American Spanish ( with one version popularized during immigration reform protests in 2006 ) , French by Acadians of Louisiana , Samoan , and Irish . The third verse of the anthem has also been translated into Latin . With regard to the indigenous languages of North America , there are versions in Navajo and Cherokee .

Walter Kennedy Citizenship Community Assist Award Most Improved Player Most Valuable Player Rookie of the Year Sixth Man of the Year Sportsmanship Award Twyman -- Stokes Teammate of the Year Lifetime Achievement Award Honors All - NBA Team All - Rookie Team All - Defensive Team Michael Jordan is one of four players to have won both an MVP and a Defensive Player of the Year award in their career . David Robinson won the award in the 1991 -- 92 NBA season . Gary Payton is the only point guard to win the award . Dwight Howard has won the award three consecutive times in his career . The NBA 's Defensive Player of the Year Award is an annual National Basketball Association ( NBA ) award given since the 1982 -- 83 NBA season to the best defensive player of the regular season . The winner is selected by a panel of 124 sportswriters and broadcasters throughout the United States and Canada , each of whom casts a vote for first , second and third place selections . Each first - place vote is worth five points , second - place voted are worth three points , and a third - place vote is worth one . The player with the highest point total , regardless of the number of first - place votes , wins the award . Since its inception , the award has been given to 21 different players . Dikembe Mutombo and Ben Wallace have each won the award a record four times . Dwight Howard is the only player to ever win the award in three consecutive seasons . Sidney Moncrief , Mark Eaton , Dennis Rodman , Hakeem Olajuwon , Alonzo Mourning , and Kawhi Leonard have each won it twice . The most recent award recipient is Rudy Gobert of the Utah Jazz . Although five of the first six winners were perimeter players , the award has traditionally been given to big men who rebound and block shots . Only seven perimeter players have been honored : Moncrief , Alvin Robertson , Michael Cooper , Michael Jordan , Gary Payton , Ron Artest ( known now as Metta World Peace ) , and Kawhi Leonard . Payton is the only point guard to have won . Jordan , Olajuwon , David Robinson , and Kevin Garnett are the only Defensive Player of the Year winners to have won the NBA Most Valuable Player Award ( MVP ) during their careers ; Jordan and Olajuwon won both awards in the same season . In Olajuwon 's case , he is the only one to have also won the Bill Russell NBA Finals Most Valuable Player Award and the NBA championship in the same season . On four occasions , the Defensive Player of the Year recipient was not voted to the NBA All - Defensive First Team in the same year . Robertson in 1986 , Mutombo ( 1995 ) , Tyson Chandler ( 2012 ) , and Marc Gasol ( 2013 ) were instead named to the second team . Whereas the Defensive Player of the Year is voted on by the media , the All - Defensive teams were voted on by NBA coaches prior to 2014 . No player trained completely outside the U.S. has won this award . Out of the three winners born outside the U.S. , Mutombo and Olajuwon both played U.S. college basketball , and Gasol played U.S. high school basketball . Joakim Noah has played for the France national basketball team , but was born in New York City , and played both high school and college basketball in the U.S. Contents 1 Winners 2 Multi-time winners 3 See also 4 Notes 5 References Winners ( edit ) Denotes player who is still active in the NBA * Inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame Player ( X ) Denotes the number of times the player has received the award Season Player Position Nationality Team 1982 -- 83 Sidney Moncrief Guard United States Milwaukee Bucks 1983 -- 84 Sidney Moncrief ( 2 ) Guard United States Milwaukee Bucks 1984 -- 85 Mark Eaton Center United States Utah Jazz 1985 -- 86 Alvin Robertson Guard United States San Antonio Spurs 1986 -- 87 Michael Cooper Guard / Forward United States Los Angeles Lakers 1987 -- 88 Michael Jordan * Guard United States Chicago Bulls 1988 -- 89 Mark Eaton ( 2 ) Center United States Utah Jazz 1989 -- 90 Dennis Rodman * Forward United States Detroit Pistons 1990 -- 91 Dennis Rodman * ( 2 ) Forward United States Detroit Pistons 1991 -- 92 David Robinson * Center United States San Antonio Spurs 1992 -- 93 Hakeem Olajuwon * Center Nigeria Houston Rockets 1993 -- 94 Hakeem Olajuwon * ( 2 ) Center Nigeria Houston Rockets 1994 -- 95 Dikembe Mutombo * Center Zaire Denver Nuggets 1995 -- 96 Gary Payton * Guard United States Seattle SuperSonics 1996 -- 97 Dikembe Mutombo * ( 2 ) Center Zaire Atlanta Hawks 1997 -- 98 Dikembe Mutombo * ( 3 ) Center Democratic Republic of the Congo Atlanta Hawks 1998 -- 99 Alonzo Mourning * Center United States Miami Heat 1999 -- 00 Alonzo Mourning * ( 2 ) Center United States Miami Heat 2000 -- 01 Dikembe Mutombo * ( 4 ) Center Democratic Republic of the Congo Philadelphia 76ers 2001 -- 02 Ben Wallace Center United States Detroit Pistons 2002 -- 03 Ben Wallace ( 2 ) Center United States Detroit Pistons 2003 -- 04 Ron Artest Forward United States Indiana Pacers 2004 -- 05 Ben Wallace ( 3 ) Center United States Detroit Pistons 2005 -- 06 Ben Wallace ( 4 ) Center United States Detroit Pistons 2006 -- 07 Marcus Camby Center United States Denver Nuggets 2007 -- 08 Kevin Garnett Forward / Center United States Boston Celtics 2008 -- 09 Dwight Howard ^ Center United States Orlando Magic 2009 -- 10 Dwight Howard ^ ( 2 ) Center United States Orlando Magic 2010 -- 11 Dwight Howard ^ ( 3 ) Center United States Orlando Magic 2011 -- 12 Tyson Chandler ^ Center United States New York Knicks 2012 -- 13 Marc Gasol ^ Center Spain Memphis Grizzlies 2013 -- 14 Joakim Noah ^ Center France Chicago Bulls 2014 -- 15 Kawhi Leonard ^ Forward United States San Antonio Spurs 2015 -- 16 Kawhi Leonard ^ ( 2 ) Forward United States San Antonio Spurs 2016 -- 17 Draymond Green ^ Forward United States Golden State Warriors 2017 -- 18 Rudy Gobert ^ Center France Utah Jazz Multi-time winners ( edit ) Rank Player Team No .

why does hades at first agree to return eurydice to orpheus
Orpheus and Eurydice - wikipedia Orpheus and Eurydice Jump to : navigation , search For the opera by Gluck , see Orfeo ed Euridice . Egyptian tapestry roundel with Orpheus and Eurydice , 5th - 6th century AD The ancient legend of Orpheus and Eurydice concerns the fateful love of Orpheus of Thrace , son of Apollo and the muse Calliope , for the beautiful Eurydice ( from Eurudike , `` she whose justice extends widely '' ) . It may be a late addition to the Orpheus myths , as the latter cult - title suggests those attached to Persephone . It may have been derived from a legend in which Orpheus travels to Tartarus and charms the goddess Hecate . Contents ( hide ) 1 Versions 2 Plot 3 Works employing this legend 3.1 Literature 3.2 Film and drama 3.3 Music and ballet 3.4 Visual arts 3.5 Video games 3.6 Comics 4 References 5 External links Versions ( edit ) In Virgil 's classic version of the legend , it completes his Georgics , a poem on the subject of agriculture . Here the name of Aristaeus ( ar - is - tee'us ) , or Aristaios , the keeper of bees , and the tragic conclusion , was first introduced . Ovid 's version of the myth , in his Metamorphoses , was published a few decades later and employs a different poetic emphasis and purpose . It relates that Eurydice 's death was not caused by fleeing from Aristaeus , but by dancing with naiads on her wedding day . Other ancient writers treated Orpheus ' visit to the underworld more negatively . According to Phaedrus in Plato 's Symposium , the infernal deities only `` presented an apparition '' of Eurydice to him . Plato 's representation of Orpheus is in fact that of a coward ; instead of choosing to die in order to be with his love , he mocked the deities in an attempt to visit Hades , to get her back alive . As his love was not `` true '' -- meaning that he was not willing to die for it -- he was punished by the deities , first by giving him only the apparition of his former wife in the underworld and then by having him killed by women . Plot ( edit ) Apollo , a Greek god , gave his son Orpheus a lyre ( harp ) and taught him how to play . Orpheus played with such perfection that even Apollo was surprised . It is said that nothing could resist his music and melody , neither enemies nor beasts . Even trees and rocks were entranced with his music . Orpheus fell in love with Eurydice , a woman of unique beauty and grace , whom he married and lived happily with for a short time . However , when Hymen was called to bless the marriage , he predicted that their perfection was not meant to last . A short time after this ominous prophecy , Eurydice was wandering in the forest with the Nymphs , when Aristaeus , a shepherd , saw her and was beguiled by her beauty . He made advances towards her and began to chase her when she attempted to flee . As Eurydice sprinted through the forest , she managed to escape him , but was tragically bitten by a snake and died instantly . Orpheus sang his grief with his lyre and managed to move everything living or not in the world ; both humans and gods were deeply touched by his sorrow and grief . Apollo then advised his son to descend to Hades and see his wife . Any other mortal would have died , but Orpheus , protected by the gods , went to Hades and arrived at the infamous Stygian realm , passing by ghosts and souls of people unknown . He also managed to charm Cerberus , the monster known to have three heads . Orpheus presented himself in front of the god of the Underworld Hades ( Pluto ) and his wife Persephone . Orpheus played his lyre , melting even Hades ' cold heart . Hades told Orpheus that he could take Eurydice with him but under one condition ; Eurydice would follow him while walking out to the light from the caves of the Underworld , but he should not look at her before coming out to the light because he would lose her forever and ever . If Orpheus was patient enough he would have Eurydice as a normal woman again by his side . Orpheus was delighted ; he thanked the gods and left to ascend to the world . Orpheus thought It was a simple task as he considered himself a patient man . He was trying to hear Eurydice 's steps , but he could not hear anything and he started believing that the gods had fooled him . Of course Eurydice was behind him , but as a shadow , waiting to come to light to become a full woman again . Only a few feet away from the exit , Orpheus lost his faith and turned to see ; Eurydice was behind him , but her shadow was whisked back among the dead . Eurydice was gone forever . Orpheus tried to return to the Underworld but a man can not enter the realm of Hades twice while alive . According to various versions of the myth , Orpheus started playing a mourning song with his lyre , calling for death so that he could be united with Eurydice forever . Orpheus is ultimately killed either by beasts tearing him apart , or by the Maenads , in a frenzied mood . According to another version , Zeus decided to strike him with lightning knowing Orpheus would reveal the secrets of the Underworld to humans . In any case , Orpheus died but the Muses decided to save his head and keep it among the living people to sing for ever , enchanting everyone with the lovely melodies and tones .

when did the first touchscreen phone come out
Smartphone - Wikipedia Smartphone `` Smartphones '' redirects here . For the song by Trey Songz , see SmartPhones ( song ) . Not to be confused with telephone . Two smartphones shown in picture : a Samsung Galaxy J5 ( left ) and an iPhone 6S ( right ) A smartphone is a handheld personal computer . It possesses extensive computing capabilities , including high - speed access to the internet using both Wi - Fi and mobile broadband ; most , if not all smartphones also are built with support for Bluetooth and satellite navigation . Modern smartphones have a touchscreen color display with a graphical user interface that covers the front surface and enables the user to use a virtual keyboard to type and press onscreen icons . Interaction is mostly done using touch , besides a few physical buttons . Smartphones are typically pocket - sized , with somewhat larger sizes being called phablets ; they are generally smaller than tablet computers . Smartphones function using a rechargeable battery . Smartphones use a mobile operating system , and are able to process a variety of software components , known as `` apps '' . Most basic apps ( e.g. event calendar , camera , web browser ) come pre-installed with the system , while others are available for download from official sources like the Google Play Store or Apple App Store . Apps can receive bug fixes and gain additional functionality through software updates ; similarly , operating systems are able to update . Today , smartphones largely fulfill their users ' needs for a communications device ( smartphones can transmit online chat , telephone calls , video chat , and e-mails through the Internet by Wi - Fi , as well as mobile broadband ) , digital camera ( most smartphones are made with one front - facing and one to three rear - facing integrated digital cameras ) , satellite navigation and trip planning , weather forecasting , a media player , clock , news , calculator , web browser , video game player , flashlight ( smartphones may possess one to two LEDs for illumination and photographic flash needs ) , compass ( smartphones that contain built - in magnetometers are able to function as a compass ) , an address book , note - creating , an event calendar , etc . Some apps allow sending and receiving facsimile ( fax ) over a smartphone , including raster facsimile data generated directly and digitally from document and image file formats . Internal storage of 8 , 16 , 32 , 64 , 128 or 256 gigabytes allows for digital storage of software and personal data ( including digital photographs and videos ) , and is often augmented by cloud storage . Typical smartphones will include one or more of the following sensors : magnetometer , proximity sensor , barometer , gyroscope , or accelerometer . Since 2010 , smartphones have adopted integrated virtual assistants , such as Apple Siri , Amazon Alexa , Google Assistant , Microsoft Cortana , BlackBerry Assistant and Samsung Bixby . Mobile payment is now a feature of most smartphones . In 1999 , the Japanese firm NTT DoCoMo released the first smartphones to achieve mass adoption within a country . Smartphones sales started to grow rapidly by the late 2000s . In the third quarter of 2012 , one billion smartphones were in use worldwide . Global smartphone sales surpassed the sales figures for feature phones in early 2013 .

The first commercially available device that could be properly referred to as a `` smartphone '' began as a prototype called `` Angler '' developed by Frank Canova in 1992 while at IBM and demonstrated in November of that year at the COMDEX computer industry trade show . A refined version was marketed to consumers in 1994 by BellSouth under the name Simon Personal Communicator . In addition to placing and receiving cellular calls , the touchscreen - equipped Simon could send and receive faxes and emails . It included an address book , calendar , appointment scheduler , calculator , world time clock , and notepad , as well as other visionary mobile applications such as maps , stock reports and news . The term `` smart phone '' or `` smartphone '' was not coined until a year after the introduction of the Simon , appearing in print as early as 1995 , describing AT&T 's PhoneWriter Communicator . Early integration of data signals with telephony ( edit ) The first caller identification receiver ( 1971 ) . The first integration of data signals with telephony was conceptualized by Nikola Tesla in 1909 and pioneered by Theodore Paraskevakos beginning in 1968 with his work on transmission of electronic data through telephone lines . In 1971 , while he was working with Boeing in Huntsville , Alabama , Paraskevakos demonstrated a transmitter and receiver that provided additional ways to communicate with remote equipment . This formed the original basis for what is now known as caller ID . The first caller ID equipment was installed at Peoples ' Telephone Company in Leesburg , Alabama and was demonstrated to several telephone companies . The original and historic working models are still in the possession of Paraskevakos . PDA / phone hybrids ( edit ) Main article : Personal digital assistant In the mid-late 1990s , many people who had mobile phones carried a separate dedicated PDA device , running early versions of operating systems such as Palm OS , Newton OS , Symbian or Windows CE / Pocket PC . These operating systems would later evolve into early mobile operating systems . Most of the `` smartphones '' in this era were hybrid devices that combined these existing familiar PDA OSes with basic phone hardware . The results were devices that were bulkier than either dedicated mobile phones or PDAs , but allowed a limited amount of cellular Internet access . The trend at the time , however , that manufacturers competed on in both mobile phones and PDAs was to make devices smaller and slimmer . The bulk of these smartphones combined with their high cost and expensive data plans , plus other drawbacks such as expansion limitations and decreased battery life compared to separate standalone devices , generally limited their popularity to `` early adopters '' and business users who needed portable connectivity . In March 1996 , Hewlett - Packard released the OmniGo 700LX , a modified HP 200LX palmtop PC with a Nokia 2110 mobile phone piggybacked onto it and ROM - based software to support it . It had a 640 × 200 resolution CGA compatible four - shade gray - scale LCD screen and could be used to place and receive calls , and to create and receive text messages , emails and faxes . It was also 100 % DOS 5.0 compatible , allowing it to run thousands of existing software titles , including early versions of Windows . The Nokia 9000 Communicator ( right ) and the updated 9110 model ( left ) In August 1996 , Nokia released the Nokia 9000 Communicator , a digital cellular PDA based on the Nokia 2110 with an integrated system based on the PEN / GEOS 3.0 operating system from Geoworks . The two components were attached by a hinge in what became known as a clamshell design , with the display above and a physical QWERTY keyboard below . The PDA provided e-mail ; calendar , address book , calculator and notebook applications ; text - based Web browsing ; and could send and receive faxes . When closed , the device could be used as a digital cellular telephone . In June 1999 Qualcomm released the `` pdQ Smartphone '' , a CDMA digital PCS smartphone with an integrated Palm PDA and Internet connectivity . Subsequent landmark devices included : The Ericsson R380 ( 2000 ) by Ericsson Mobile Communications . The first device marketed as a `` smartphone '' , it was the first Symbian - based phone , with PDA functionality and limited Web browsing on a resistive touchscreen utilizing a stylus . Users could not install their own software on the device , however . The Kyocera 6035 ( early 2001 ) , a dual - nature device with a separate Palm OS PDA operating system and CDMA mobile phone firmware . It supported limited Web browsing with the PDA software treating the phone hardware as an attached modem . Handspring 's Treo 180 ( 2002 ) , the first smartphone that fully integrated the Palm OS on a GSM mobile phone having telephony , SMS messaging and Internet access built in to the OS . The 180 model had a thumb - type keyboard and the 180g version had a Graffiti handwriting recognition area , instead . Mass adoption in Japan ( edit ) In 1999 , the Japanese firm NTT DoCoMo released the first smartphones to achieve mass adoption within a country . These phones ran on i - mode , which provided data transmission speeds up to 9.6 kbit / s . Unlike future generations of wireless services , NTT DoCoMo 's i - mode used cHTML , a language which restricted some aspects of traditional HTML in favor of increasing data speed for the devices . Limited functionality , small screens and limited bandwidth allowed for phones to use the slower data speeds available . The rise of i - mode helped NTT DoCoMo accumulate an estimated 40 million subscribers by the end of 2001 . It was also ranked first in market capitalization in Japan and second globally . This power would later wane in the face of the rise of 3G and new phones with advanced wireless network capabilities . Early smartphones outside Japan ( edit ) Several BlackBerry smartphones , which were highly popular in the mid-late 2000s . Smartphones were still rare outside Japan until the introduction of the Danger Hiptop in 2002 , which saw moderate success among U.S. consumers as the T - Mobile Sidekick . Later , in the mid-2000s , business users in the U.S. started to adopt devices based on Microsoft 's Windows Mobile , and then BlackBerry smartphones from Research In Motion . American users popularized the term `` CrackBerry '' in 2006 due to the BlackBerry 's addictive nature . Outside the U.S. and Japan , Nokia was seeing success with its smartphones based on Symbian , originally developed by Psion for their personal organisers , and it was the most popular smartphone OS in Europe during the middle to late 2000s . Initially , Nokia 's Symbian smartphones were focused on business with the Eseries , similar to Windows Mobile and BlackBerry devices at the time . From 2006 onwards , Nokia started producing consumer - focused smartphones , popularized by the entertainment - focused Nseries . In Asia , with the exception of Japan , the trend was similar to that of Europe . Until 2010 , Symbian was the world 's most widely used smartphone operating system . Form factor Shift ( edit ) The original Apple iPhone . Its introduction contributed to the steady rise of smartphones that feature large touchscreen interfaces without physical keypads . In the early to mid-2000s , it was common for smartphones to have a physical T9 numeric keypad or QWERTY keyboard in either a candybar or sliding form factor . At that time , many smartphones had resistive touchscreens , which allowed for input with a stylus in addition to fingers , thus allowing the entry of Asian characters . Keyboards were also common for smartphones in the late - 2000s . In 2007 , the LG Prada was the first mobile phone released with a large capacitive touchscreen . Later that year , Apple Inc. introduced the iPhone , which used a multi-touch capacitive touch screen . Such phones were notable for abandoning the use of a stylus , keyboard , or keypad typical for smartphones at the time up till the early 2010s , in favor of a capacitive touchscreen for direct finger input as its only input type . The iPhone was `` not a smartphone by conventional terms , being that a smartphone is a platform device that allows software to be installed '' , until the opening of Apple 's App Store a year later , which became a common means for smartphone software distribution and installation . In October 2008 , the first phone to use Google 's Android operating system , called the HTC Dream ( also known as the T - Mobile G1 ) , was released . It was also a smartphone with a large multi-touch touchscreen , but still retained a slide - out physical keyboard . Later versions of Android added and then improved on - screen keyboard support , and physical keyboards on Android devices quickly became rare . Although Android 's adoption was relatively slow at first , it started to gain widespread popularity in 2012 , and in early 2012 dominated the smartphone market share worldwide , which continues to this day . The iPhone and Android phones with their capacitive touchscreens popularized the smartphone form factor based on a large capacitive touchscreen and led to the decline of earlier , keyboard - and keypad - focused platforms . Microsoft , for instance , discontinued Windows Mobile and started a new touchscreen - oriented OS from scratch , called Windows Phone . Nokia abandoned Symbian and partnered with Microsoft to use Windows Phone on its smartphones . Windows Phone became the third-most - popular smartphone OS , before being replaced by Windows 10 Mobile , which declined in share to become `` largely irrelevant '' at less than 0.5 % of the smartphone market . Palm replaced their Palm OS with webOS , which was bought by Hewlett - Packard and later sold to LG Electronics for use on LG smart TVs . BlackBerry Limited , formerly known as Research In Motion , made a new platform based on QNX , BlackBerry 10 , with which it was possible to control a device without having to press any physical buttons ; this platform was later discontinued . By the mid-2010s , almost all smartphones were touchscreen - only , and Android and iPhone smartphones dominated the market since smartphones started to grow in use by 2012 and 2013 . Technological developments in the 2010s ( edit ) Wikipedia homepages are shown on smartphones In 2013 , Fairphone launched its first `` socially ethical '' smartphone at the London Design Festival to address concerns regarding the sourcing of materials in the manufacturing . In late 2013 , QSAlpha commenced production of a smartphone designed entirely around security , encryption and identity protection . Some companies began to release smartphones incorporating flexible displays to create curved form factors , such as the Samsung Galaxy Round and LG G Flex . In October 2013 , Motorola Mobility announced Project Ara , a concept for a modular smartphone platform that would allow users to customize and upgrade their phones with add - on modules that attached magnetically to a frame . Ara was retained by Google following its sale of Motorola Mobility to Lenovo , but was shelved in 2016 . That year , LG and Motorola both unveiled smartphones featuring a limited form of modularity for accessories ; the LG G5 allowed accessories to be installed via the removal of its battery compartment , while the Moto Z utilizes accessories attached magnetically to the rear of the device . By 2014 , 1440p displays began to appear on high - end smartphones . In 2015 , Sony released the Xperia Z5 Premium , featuring a 4K resolution display , although only images and videos could actually be rendered at that resolution ( all other software is upscaled from 1080p ) . Microsoft , expanding upon the concept of Motorola 's short - lived `` Webtop '' , unveiled functionality for its Windows 10 operating system for phones that allows supported devices to be docked for use with a PC - styled desktop environment . Other major technologies began to trend in 2016 , including a focus on virtual reality and augmented reality experiences catered towards smartphones , the newly introduced USB - C connector , and improving LTE technologies . As of 2015 , the global median for smartphone ownership was 43 % . Statista has forecast that 2.87 billion people will own smartphones in 2020 . The first mobile phone with a fingerprint scanner was the Toshiba G500 in 2007 and the first smartphone with a fingerprint scanner was the Motorola Atrix 4G in 2011 . In September 2013 , the iPhone 5S was unveiled as the first smartphone on a major U.S. carrier since the Atrix to feature the technology , which was called Touch ID . This feature proved popular with users and by 2017 all of Apple 's major competitor 's included a fingerprint scanner . Future possible developments ( edit ) This section needs to be updated . Please update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information . ( April 2018 ) An example of a flexible display Foldable OLED smartphones have been anticipated for years but have failed to materialize because of the relatively high failure rate when producing these screens . Creating a battery that can be folded is another hurdle . Hardware ( edit ) Display ( edit ) Main article : Display device A smartphone touchscreen One of the main characteristics of smartphones is the screen . It fills some of the device 's front surface ( about 70 % ) , however , with the newest smartphones like the Galaxy S9 and iPhone X , most of the available space on the front is dedicated to the display in a style referred to as `` edge - to - edge . '' Many of the displays have an aspect ratio of 16 : 9 ; some are 4 : 3 or other ratios . They are measured in diagonal inches , starting from 2.45 inches . Phones with screens larger than 5.2 inches are often called `` phablets . '' Smartphones with screens over 4.5 inches commonly are difficult to use with only a single hand , since most thumbs can not reach the entire screen surface ; they may need to be shifted around in the hand , held in one hand and manipulated by the other , or used in place with both hands . Liquid - crystal displays are the most common ; others are IPS , LED , OLED , AMOLED and E Ink displays . In the 2010s , Braille screens , which can be used by visually impaired people are being developed . It is expected that Braille screens will use some type of microfluidics technology . In addition , some displays are integrated with pressure - sensitive digitizers , such as those developed by Wacom and Samsung . Wacom 's models allows users to have greater precision when drawing . Starting with the iPhone 6S , Apple released pressure sensitivity for their smartphones under the name 3D Touch . Apple 's 3D Touch uniquely utilizes the digitizer by giving users the availability to display additional menus and options by applying pressure to specified icons . Some smartphones may have a vibration feature , which may be used for a more vibrant experience in video games or for notifications . Accessories ( edit ) A wide range of accessories are sold for smartphones , including cases , screen protectors , power charging cables , wireless power stations , USB On - The - Go adapters ( for connecting USB drives and or , in some cases , a HDMI cable to an external monitor ) , add - on batteries , headphones , combined headphone - microphones ( which , for example , allow a person to privately conduct calls on the device without holding it to the ear ) , and Bluetooth - enabled powered speakers that enable users to listen to media from their smartphones wirelessly . Cases range from relatively inexpensive rubber or soft plastic cases which provide moderate protection from bumps and good protection from scratches to more expensive , heavy - duty cases that combine a rubber padding with a hard outer shell . Some cases have a `` book '' - like form , with a cover that the user opens to use the device ; when the cover is closed , it protects the screen . Some `` book '' - like cases have additional pockets for credit cards , thus enabling people to use them as wallets . Accessories include products sold by the manufacturer of the smartphone and compatible products made by other manufacturers . Battery ( edit ) A high - capacity portable battery charger . By the end of 2017 , smartphone battery life was generally adequate ; however , earlier smartphone battery life was poor due to the weak batteries that could not handle the significant power requirements of the smartphones ' computer systems and color screens . To extend talktime , smartphone users purchase additional chargers for use outside the home , at work , and in cars and by buying portable external `` battery packs '' . External battery packs include generic models which are connected to the smartphone with a cable and custom - made models that `` piggyback '' onto a smartphone 's case . In 2016 , Samsung had to recall millions of the Galaxy Note 7 smartphones due to an explosive battery issue . For consumer convenience , wireless charging stations have been introduced in some hotels , bars , and other public spaces . Software ( edit ) Mobile operating systems ( edit ) Main article : Mobile operating system Android ( edit ) Main article : Android ( operating system ) Several smartphones running Google 's Android OS Android is a mobile operating system founded by Andy Rubin , now owned and developed by Google , and backed by an industry consortium known as the Open Handset Alliance . It is a Linux - based open source platform with optional proprietary components , including a suite of flagship software for Google services , and the application and content storefront Google Play . Android was officially introduced via the release of its inaugural device , the HTC Dream ( T - Mobile G1 ) on 20 October 2008 . As an open source product , Android has also been the subject of third - party development . Development groups have used the Android source code to develop and distribute their own modified versions of the operating system , such as CyanogenMod ( now LineageOS ) , to add features to the OS and provide newer versions of Android to devices that no longer receive official updates from their vendor . Forked versions of Android have also been adopted by other vendors , such as Amazon.com , who used its `` Fire OS '' on a range of tablets and the Fire Phone . As it is a non-proprietary platform that has shipped on devices covering a wide range of market segments , Android has seen significant adoption . Gartner Research estimated that 325 million Android smartphones were sold during the fourth quarter of 2015 , leading all other platforms . Samsung Electronics , who produces Android devices , was also the top smartphone vendor across all platforms in the same period of time . Android is the top - selling smartphone OS in 2016 . Google Pay is available on Android software . IOS ( edit ) Main article : iOS iOS ( formerly iPhone OS ) is a proprietary mobile operating system developed by Apple Inc. primarily for its iPhone product line . The iPhone was first unveiled in January 2007 . The device introduced the use of multi-touch gestures for navigation . In 2008 , Apple introduced the App Store , a centralized storefront for purchasing new software for iPhone devices . iOS can also integrate with Apple 's desktop music program iTunes to sync media to a personal computer . The dependency on a PC was removed with the introduction of iCloud on later versions of iOS , which provides synchronization of user data via internet servers between multiple devices . The iPhone line 's early dominance was credited with helping make Apple one of the world 's most valuable publicly traded companies by 2011 . However , the iPhone and iOS have generally been in second place in worldwide market share . Tizen ( edit ) Main article : Tizen Tizen is a Linux - based operating system for devices , including smartphones , tablets , in - vehicle infotainment ( IVI ) devices , smart TVs , laptops and smart cameras . Tizen is a project within the Linux Foundation and is governed by a Technical Steering Group ( TSG ) composed of Samsung and Intel among others . In April 2014 , Samsung released the Samsung Gear 2 and the Gear 2 Neo , running Tizen . The Samsung Z1 is the first smartphone produced by Samsung that runs Tizen ; it was released in the Indian market on January 14 , 2015 . Sailfish OS ( edit ) Main article : Sailfish OS The Sailfish OS is based on the Linux kernel and Mer . Additionally Sailfish OS includes a partially or completely proprietary multi-tasking user interface programmed by Jolla . This user interface differentiate Jolla smartphones from others . Sailfish OS is intended to be a system made by many of the MeeGo team , which left Nokia to form Jolla , utilizing funding from Nokia 's `` Bridge '' program which helps establish and support start - up companies formed by ex-Nokia employees . Discontinued operating systems ( edit ) BlackBerry OS ( edit ) Main article : BlackBerry OS In 1999 , RIM released its first BlackBerry smartphone , providing secure real - time push - email communications on wireless devices . Services such as BlackBerry Messenger provide the integration of all communications into a single inbox . In September 2012 , RIM announced that the 200 millionth BlackBerry smartphone was shipped . As of September 2014 , there were around 46 million active BlackBerry service subscribers . In the early 2010s , RIM underwent a platform transition , changing its company name to BlackBerry Limited and releasing devices on a new platform named `` BlackBerry 10 '' . Windows mobile ( edit ) Main article : Windows Mobile Windows Mobile was based on the Windows CE kernel and first appeared as the Pocket PC 2000 operating system . Throughout its lifespan , the operating system was available in both touchscreen and non-touchscreen formats . It was supplied with a suite of applications developed with the Microsoft Windows API and was designed to have features and appearance somewhat similar to desktop versions of Windows . Third parties could develop software for Windows Mobile with no restrictions imposed by Microsoft . Software applications were eventually purchasable from Windows Marketplace for Mobile during the service 's brief lifespan . Windows Mobile was eventually phased out in favor of Windows Phone OS . Symbian ( edit ) Main article : Symbian A Nokia N70 smartphone ( 2005 ) running Symbian OS , which was highly popular in Europe and Asia in the 2000s Symbian was originally developed by Psion as EPOC32 . It was the world 's most widely used smartphone operating system until Q4 2010 , though the platform never gained popularity in the U.S. , as it did in Europe and Asia . The first Symbian phone , the touchscreen Ericsson R380 Smartphone , was released in 2000 , and was the first device marketed as a `` smartphone '' . It combined a PDA with a mobile phone . Variants of Symbian OS began to emerge , most notably Symbian UIQ , MOAP and S60 , each supported by different manufacturers . With the creation of Symbian Foundation in 2008 , Symbian OS was unified under one variant under the stewardship of Nokia . In February 2011 , Nokia announced that it would replace Symbian with Windows Phone as the operating system on all of its future smartphones , with the platform being abandoned over the following few years . Firefox OS ( edit ) Main article : Firefox OS Firefox OS was demonstrated by Mozilla in February 2012 . It was designed to have a complete community - based alternative system for mobile devices , using open standards and HTML5 applications . The first commercially available Firefox OS phones were ZTE Open and Alcatel One Touch Fire . As of 2014 , more companies had partnered with Mozilla including Panasonic ( which was making a smart TV with Firefox OS ) and Sony . In December 2015 , Mozilla announced that it would phase out development of Firefox OS for smartphones , and would reposition the project to focus on other forms of Internet - connected devices . Bada ( edit ) Main article : Bada The Bada operating system for smartphones was announced by Samsung in November 2009 . The first Bada - based phone was the Samsung Wave S8500 , released in June 2010 . Samsung shipped 4.5 million phones running Bada in Q2 of 2011 . In 2013 , Bada merged with a similar platform called Tizen . WebOS ( edit ) Main article : webOS webOS is a proprietary mobile operating system running on the Linux kernel , initially developed by Palm , which launched with the Palm Pre . After being acquired by HP , two phones ( the Veer and the Pre 3 ) and a tablet ( the TouchPad ) running webOS were introduced in 2011 . On August 18 , 2011 , HP announced that webOS hardware was to be discontinued but would continue to support and update webOS software and develop the webOS ecosystem . HP released webOS as open source under the name Open webOS , and plans to update it with additional features . On February 25 , 2013 HP announced the sale of WebOS to LG Electronics , who used the operating system for its current `` smart '' or Internet - connected TVs , but not smartphones . In January 2014 , Qualcomm has announced that it has acquired technology patents from HP , which includes all the WebOS patents . Palm OS ( edit ) Main article : Palm OS A Palm Treo 300 smartphone ( 2002 ) In late 2001 , Handspring launched the Springboard GSM phone module with limited success . In May 2002 , Handspring released the Palm OS Treo 270 smartphone , which did not support Springboard , with both a touchscreen and a full keyboard . The Treo had wireless web browsing , email , calendar , a contact organizer and mobile third - party applications that could be downloaded or synced with a computer . Handspring was purchased by Palm , Inc which released the Treo 600 and continued releasing Treo devices with a few Treo devices using Windows Mobile . MeeGo / Maemo / Moblin ( edit ) Main articles : MeeGo , Maemo , and Moblin MeeGo is an operating system created from the source code of Moblin ( produced by Intel ) and Maemo ( produced by Nokia ) . Before that , Nokia used Maemo on some of its smartphones and internet tablets ( such as Nokia N810 and N900 ) . MeeGo was originally envisioned to power a variety of devices from netbooks , tablets to smartphones and smart TVs . However , the only smartphones which used MeeGo was the Nokia N9 and Nokia N950 ( MeeGo v1. 2 Harmattan ) . Following Nokia 's decision to move to Windows Phone OS in 2011 and to cease MeeGo development , the Linux Foundation canceled MeeGo in September 2011 in favor of the development of Tizen . Ubuntu Touch ( edit ) Main article : Ubuntu Touch Ubuntu Touch ( also known as Ubuntu Phone ) is a mobile version of the Ubuntu operating system developed by Canonical UK Ltd and Ubuntu Community . It is designed primarily for touchscreen mobile devices such as smartphones and tablet computers . Other Linux ( edit ) In 2003 , Motorola launched the first smartphone to use Linux , the A760 . While the initial release was limited to a single high - end device only available in the Asia - Pacific region , the maker 's intention was to eventually use Linux on most of its devices , including the lower - end models . Further models to use Linux such as the Motorola Ming A1200i in 2005 and several successors to the Ming line would be unveiled through 2010 . In late 2009 , Motorola released the Motorola Cliq , the first of Motorola 's smartphones to run the Linux - based Android operating system . Subsequently , Motorola stopped developing phones based on other Linux variants . Windows 10 mobile ( edit ) Main article : Windows 10 Mobile Windows 10 Mobile ( formerly known as Windows Phone ) is from Microsoft . It is closed source and proprietary . It has the third largest installed base on smartphones behind Android and iOS . Unveiled on February 15 , 2010 , Windows Phone includes a user interface inspired by Microsoft 's Metro Design Language . It is integrated with Microsoft services such as OneDrive and Office , Xbox Music , Xbox Video , Xbox Live games and Bing , but also integrates with many other non-Microsoft services such as Facebook and Google accounts . Windows Phone devices are made primarily by Microsoft Mobile / Nokia , and also by HTC and Samsung . In January 2015 , Microsoft announced that its Windows Phone brand will be phased out and replaced with Windows 10 Mobile , bringing tighter integration and unification with its PC counterpart Windows 10 , and provide a platform for smartphones and tablets with screen sizes under 8 inches . Windows Mobile smartphone series has had poor adoption , that also led to a decrease in third - party applications , and some vendors ended their support for Windows Mobile altogether . As of 2016 , Windows 10 Mobile global market share dropped below 0.6 % . BlackBerry 10 ( edit ) Main article : BlackBerry 10 In the early 2010s , BlackBerry Limited started making new devices on a new platform named `` BlackBerry 10 '' , which is based on their BlackBerry Tablet OS , to replace the BlackBerry OS . In 2015 , BlackBerry said there would be no new devices with BB10 but they will still support the OS for existing devices . In 2016 , BlackBerry Limited ceased making smartphones and licensed TCL Communication to manufacture them under the name BlackBerry Mobile . BlackBerry Mobile smartphones abandoned BlackBerry 10 in favor of the Android operating system , beginning with the 2017 BlackBerry KEYone . The first BlackBerry phone to ship with Android , however , was BlackBerry Limited 's Priv . Mobile app ( edit ) Main article : Mobile app A mobile app is a computer program designed to run on a mobile device such as a smartphone or tablet . The term `` app '' is a shortening of the term `` software application '' . Application stores ( edit ) Main article : List of digital distribution platforms for mobile devices The introduction of Apple 's App Store for the iPhone and iPod Touch in July 2008 popularized manufacturer - hosted online distribution for third - party applications ( software and computer programs ) focused on a single platform . There are a huge variety of apps , including video games , music products and business tools . Up until that point , smartphone application distribution depended on third - party sources providing applications for multiple platforms , such as GetJar , Handango , Handmark , and PocketGear . Following the success of the App Store , other smartphone manufacturers launched application stores , such as Google 's Android Market ( later renamed to the Google Play Store ) and RIM 's BlackBerry App World and Android - related app stores like F - Droid . In February 2014 , 93 % of mobile developers were targeting smartphones first for mobile app development . Sales ( edit ) Since 1996 , smartphone shipments have had positive growth . In November 2011 , 27 % of all photographs created were taken with camera - equipped smartphones . In September 2012 , a study concluded that 4 out of 5 smartphone owners use the device to shop online . Global smartphone sales surpassed the sales figures for feature phones in early 2013 . Worldwide shipments of smartphones topped 1 billion units in 2013 , up 38 % from 2012 's 725 million , while comprising a 55 % share of the mobile phone market in 2013 , up from 42 % in 2012 . In Q1 2016 for the first time the shipments dropped by 3 percent year on year . The situation was caused by the maturing China market .

A study conducted by the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute 's ( RPI ) Lighting Research Center ( LRC ) concluded that smartphones , or any backlit devices , can seriously affect sleep cycles . Some persons might become psychologically attached to smartphones resulting in anxiety when separated from the devices . A `` smombie '' ( a combination of `` smartphone '' and `` zombie '' ) is a walking person using a smartphone and not paying attention as they walk , possibly risking an accident in the process , an increasing social phenomenon . The issue of slow - moving smartphone users led to the temporary creation of a `` mobile lane '' for walking in Chongqing , China . The issue of distracted smartphone users led the city of Augsburg , Germany to embed pedestrian traffic lights in the pavement . While driving ( edit ) Main article : Mobile phones and driving safety Main article : Texting while driving A New York City driver holding two phones . A user consulting a mapping app on a phone . Mobile phone use while driving -- including talking on the phone , texting , playing media , web browsing , gaming , using mapping apps or operating other phone features -- is common but controversial , since it is widely considered dangerous due to what 's known as distracted driving . Being distracted while operating a motor vehicle has been shown to increase the risk of accidents . In September 2010 , the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration ( NHTSA ) reported that 995 people were killed by drivers distracted by phones . In March 2011 a US insurance company , State Farm Insurance , announced the results of a study which showed 19 % of drivers surveyed accessed the Internet on a smartphone while driving . Many jurisdictions prohibit the use of mobile phones while driving . In Egypt , Israel , Japan , Portugal and Singapore , both handheld and hands - free calling on a mobile phone ( which uses a speakerphone ) is banned . In other countries including the UK and France and in many US states , only the use of calling on handheld phones is banned , while hands - free use is permitted . A 2011 study reported that over 90 % of college students surveyed text ( initiate , reply or read ) while driving . The scientific literature on the danger of driving while sending a text message from a mobile phone , or texting while driving , is limited . A simulation study at the University of Utah found a sixfold increase in distraction - related accidents when texting . Due to the complexity of smartphones that began to grow more after , this has introduced additional difficulties for law enforcement officials when attempting to distinguish one usage from another in drivers using their devices . This is more apparent in countries which ban both handheld and hands - free usage , rather than those which ban handheld use only , as officials can not easily tell which function of the phone is being used simply by looking at the driver . This can lead to drivers being stopped for using their device illegally for a call when , in fact , they were using the device legally , for example , when using the phone 's incorporated controls for car stereo , GPS or satnav . A sign along Bellaire Boulevard in Southside Place , Texas ( Greater Houston ) states that using mobile phones while driving is prohibited from 7 : 30 am to 9 : 30 am and from 2 : 00 pm to 4 : 15 pm A 2010 study reviewed the incidence of phone use while cycling and its effects on behavior and safety . In 2013 a national survey in the US reported the number of drivers who reported using their phones to access the Internet while driving had risen to nearly one of four . A study conducted by the University of Vienna examined approaches for reducing inappropriate and problematic use of mobile phones , such as using phones while driving . Accidents involving a driver being distracted by being in a call on a phone have begun to be prosecuted as negligence similar to speeding . In the United Kingdom , from 27 February 2007 , motorists who are caught using a hand - held phone while driving will have three penalty points added to their license in addition to the fine of £ 60 . This increase was introduced to try to stem the increase in drivers ignoring the law . Japan prohibits all use of phones while driving , including use of hands - free devices . New Zealand has banned handheld phone use since 1 November 2009 . Many states in the United States have banned text messaging on phones while driving . Illinois became the 17th American state to enforce this law . As of July 2010 , 30 states had banned texting while driving , with Kentucky becoming the most recent addition on July 15 . Public Health Law Research maintains a list of distracted driving laws in the United States . This database of laws provides a comprehensive view of the provisions of laws that restrict the use of mobile devices while driving for all 50 states and the District of Columbia between 1992 , when first law was passed through December 1 , 2010 . The dataset contains information on 22 dichotomous , continuous or categorical variables including , for example , activities regulated ( e.g. , texting versus talking , hands - free versus handheld calls , web browsing , gaming ) , targeted populations , and exemptions . Legal ( edit ) Main article : Smartphone wars A `` patent war '' between Samsung and Apple started when the latter claimed that the original Galaxy S Android phone copied the interface‍ -- ‌and possibly the hardware‍ -- ‌of Apple 's iOS for the iPhone 3GS . There was also smartphone patents licensing and litigation involving Sony Mobile , Google , Apple Inc. , Samsung , Microsoft , Nokia , Motorola , HTC , Huawei and ZTE , among others . The conflict is part of the wider `` patent wars '' between multinational technology and software corporations . To secure and increase market share , companies granted a patent can sue to prevent competitors from using the methods the patent covers . Since the 2010 's the number of lawsuits , counter-suits , and trade complaints based on patents and designs in the market for smartphones , and devices based on smartphone OSes such as Android and iOS , has increased significantly . Initial suits , countersuits , rulings , license agreements , and other major events began in 2009 as the smartphone market stated to grow more rapidly by 2012 . Facsimile ( edit ) Some apps allows for sending and receiving facsimile ( Fax ) , over a smartphone , including facsimile data ( composed of raster bi-level graphics ) generated directly and digitally from document and image file formats . Medical ( edit ) Main article : Mobile app With the rise in number of mobile medical apps in the market place , government regulatory agencies raised concerns on the safety of the use of such applications . These concerns were transformed into regulation initiatives worldwide with the aim of safeguarding users from untrusted medical advice . Security ( edit ) Main articles : Mobile security , Malware , Mobile virus , and Media Transfer Protocol Smartphone malware is easily distributed through an insecure app store . Often , malware is hidden in pirated versions of legitimate apps , which are then distributed through third - party app stores . Malware risk also comes from what is known as an `` update attack '' , where a legitimate application is later changed to include a malware component , which users then install when they are notified that the app has been updated . As well , one out of three robberies in 2012 in the United States involved the theft of a mobile phone . An online petition has urged smartphone makers to install kill switches in their devices . In 2014 , Apple 's `` Find my iPhone '' and Google 's `` Android Device Manager '' can disable and wipe the data from phones that have been lost or stolen . With BlackBerry Protect in OS version 10.3. 2 , devices can be rendered unrecoverable to even BlackBerry 's own Operating System recovery tools if incorrectly authenticated or dissociated from their account . Leaked documents published by WikiLeaks , codenamed Vault 7 and dated from 2013 -- 2016 , detail the capabilities of the United States Central Intelligence Agency ( CIA ) to perform electronic surveillance and cyber warfare , including the ability to compromise the operating systems of most smartphones ( including iOS and Android ) . Sleep ( edit ) Main article : Electronic media and sleep Using smartphones late at night can disturb sleep , due to the blue light and brightly lit screen , which affects melatonin levels and sleep cycles . In an effort to alleviate these issues , several apps that change the color temperature of a screen to a warmer hue based on the time of day to reduce the amount of blue light generated have been developed for Android , while iOS 9.3 integrated similar , system - level functionality known as `` Night Shift '' . Amazon released a feature known as `` blue shade '' in their Fire OS `` Bellini '' 5.0 and later . It has also been theorized that for some users , addicted use of their phones , especially before they go to bed , can result in `` ego depletion '' . Many people also use their phones as alarm clocks , which can also lead to loss of sleep . Bokeh cameras ( edit ) Pocket cameras have difficulty producing bokeh in images , but nowadays , some smartphones have dual - lens cameras that produce the bokeh effect easily , and can even rearrange the level of bokeh after shooting . The iPhone 7 Plus debuted with a dual - lens camera in the back of the smartphone . More advanced smartphones may come with ' quad cameras ' , or two dual - lens cameras such as the Honor 9 Lite smartphone . The back and front of the smartphone each have a 13MP main lens and a 2MP lens for capturing depth information . The Evercoss U50A Max smartphone has 4 cameras , and costs less than $100 . Huawei P20 Pro smartphone with triple lenses in the back of the smartphone has been launched as bokeh camera smartphone with optical zoom . First lens has 40MP RGB , second lens has 20MP monochrome and third lens has 8MP RGB telephoto 3x . The zoom can be enhanced to 5x with combination of the optical zoom and megapixel lens 40MP RGB to produce undeteriorated ( optical + digital ) zoom or digital zoom without loss of quality . Terminology ( edit ) `` Phablet '' , a portmanteau of the words phone and tablet , describes smartphones with larger screens . `` Superphone '' is also used by some companies to market phones with unusually large screens and other expensive features . `` Ultra premium '' is a term used to identify a smartphone which has top of the line materials .

what did great britain tax the colonies for
Taxation of colonies Act 1778 - wikipedia Taxation of colonies Act 1778 Jump to : navigation , search The Taxation of Colonies Act , 1778 <Td_colspan="2"> Parliament of Great Britain Long title An Act for removing all Doubts and Apprehensions concerning Taxation by the Parliament of Great Britain in any of the Colonies , Provinces , and Plantations in North America and the West Indies ; and for repealing so much of an Act made in the Seventh Year of the Reign of His late Majesty as imposes a Duty on Tea imported from Great Britain into any Colony or Plantation in America as relates to there Citation 18 Geo. 3 c. 12 Territorial extent British America and the British West Indies <Th_colspan="2"> Dates Repealed July 18 , 1973 <Th_colspan="2"> Other legislation Repealed by Statute Law ( Repeals ) Act 1973 <Th_colspan="2"> Status : Repealed The Taxation of Colonies Act 1778 was an Act of the Parliament of Great Britain which declared that Parliament would not impose any duty , tax , or assessment for the raising of revenue in any of the colonies of British America or the British West Indies . The Act , passed during the American Revolutionary War , was an attempt by Parliament to end the war by conceding one of the early points of dispute . Parliaments ' effort to tax the colonies without the consent of the colonists , especially as enacted in the Townshend Acts of 1767 and the Tea Act of 1773 , had been a major cause of the American Revolution . This act noted that those taxes had `` been found by experience to occasion great uneasiness and disorders '' and that his Majesty desired `` to restore the peace and welfare of all his Majesty 's Dominions '' . The Act declared that Parliament would not impose any duty , tax , or assessment for the raising of revenue in any of the colonies . Parliament would only impose such duties as expedient to regulate commerce and the net income from these duties would be given to the colonies . In making this concession , Parliament was taking the position that American colonists had advocated a decade earlier , most notably John Dickinson in his `` Letters from a Farmer in Pennsylvania '' . By the time the statute was enacted , it was too late to have any effect on the war : the dispute was no longer specifically about taxation , and the colonies had already declared independence . Additionally , according to legal historian John Phillip Reid , `` As a matter of constitutional law the statute was meaningless '' , because future Parliaments would not be bound by the current Parliament 's pledge not to impose taxes . The Act was eventually repealed by the Statute Law ( Repeals ) Act 1973 as obsolete .

what does it mean to drink the kool aid
Drinking the Kool - Aid - wikipedia Drinking the Kool - Aid Directions for a package of Kool - Aid `` Drinking the Kool - Aid '' is an expression commonly used in the United States that refers to a person who believes in a possibly doomed or dangerous idea because of perceived potential high rewards . The phrase often carries a negative connotation . It can also be used ironically or humorously to refer to accepting an idea or changing a preference due to popularity , peer pressure , or persuasion . In recent years it has evolved further to mean extreme dedication to a cause or purpose , so extreme that one would `` Drink the Kool - Aid '' and die for the cause . The phrase derives from the November 1978 Jonestown deaths , in which over 900 members of the Peoples Temple , who were followers of Jim Jones , died , many of whom committed suicide by drinking a mixture of a powdered soft - drink flavoring agent laced with cyanide and prescription drugs Valium , Phenergan , and chloral hydrate , while the rest of the members , including 89 infants and elderly , were killed by forced ingestion of the poison . The soft - drink flavoring was a mixture of both Kool - Aid and a competing brand , Flavor Aid . Contents 1 Background 2 Use 3 See also 4 References 5 External links Background ( edit ) Main article : Jonestown § Deaths in Jonestown On November 18 , 1978 , Jones ordered that the members of Representative Leo Ryan 's party be killed after several defectors chose to leave with the party . Residents of the commune later committed suicide by drinking a flavored beverage laced with potassium cyanide , some were forced to drink it , some ( such as small children ) drank it unknowingly . Roughly 918 people died . Descriptions of the event often refer to the beverage not as Kool - Aid but as Flavor Aid , a less - expensive product reportedly found at the site . Kraft Foods , the maker of Kool - Aid , has stated the same . Implied by this accounting of events is that the reference to the Kool - Aid brand owes exclusively to its being better - known among Americans . Others are less categorical . Both brands are known to have been among the commune 's supplies : Film footage shot inside the compound prior to the events of November shows Jones opening a large chest in which boxes of both Flavor Aid and Kool - Aid are visible . Criminal investigators testifying at the Jonestown inquest spoke of finding packets of `` cool aid '' ( sic ) , and eyewitnesses to the incident are also recorded as speaking of `` cool aid '' or `` Cool Aid . '' It is unclear whether they intended to refer to the actual Kool - Aid -- brand drink or were using the name in a generic sense that might refer to any powdered flavored beverage . Given that both were available and are functionally very similar , it is hard to distinguish whether just one or both brands were used . The group had engaged in many `` dry runs '' using unpoisoned drink . Use ( edit ) In December 1978 , Rev. Dr. William Sloane Coffin told a convention of the American unit of Pax Christi that American planning for nuclear war and preparations for civil defense was `` the Kool - Aid drill without the cyanide . '' According to academician Rebecca Moore , early analogies to Jonestown and Kool - Aid were based around death and suicide , not blind obedience . The earliest such example she found , via a Lexis - Nexis search , was a 1982 statement from Lane Kirkland , then head of the AFL - CIO , which described Ronald Reagan 's policies as `` Jonestown economics , '' which `` administers Kool - Aid to the poor , the deprived and the unemployed . '' In 1984 , a Reagan administration appointee , Clarence M. Pendleton Jr. , chairman of the United States Commission on Civil Rights , was quoted as criticizing civil rights leaders Jesse Jackson , Vernon Jordan Jr. , and Benjamin Hooks by making an analogy between allegiance to `` the black leadership '' and blind obedience to the Jonestown leaders : `` We refuse to be led into another political Jonestown as we were led during the Presidential campaign . No more Kool - Aid , Jesse , Vernon and Ben . We want to be free . '' In 1989 , Jack Solerwitz , a lawyer for many of the air traffic controllers who lost their jobs in the 1981 PATCO strike , explained his dedication to their cause in spite of the substantial personal financial losses he incurred by saying : `` I was the only lawyer who kept the doors open for them , and I thought I 'd get a medal for it ... Instead , I was the one who drank the Kool - Aid . '' The widespread use of the phrase with its current meaning may have begun in the late 1990s . In some cases it began to take on a neutral or even positive light , implying simply great enthusiasm . In 1998 , the dictionary website logophilia.com defined the phrase thus : `` To become a firm believer in something ; to accept an argument or philosophy whole - heartedly . '' The phrase has been used in the business and technology worlds to mean fervent devotion to a certain company or technology . A 2000 The New York Times article about the end of the dot - com bubble noted , `` The saying around San Francisco Web shops these days , as companies run out of money , is ' Just keep drinking the Kool - Aid , ' a tasteless reference to the Jonestown massacre . '' The phrase or metaphor has also often been used in a political context , usually with a negative implication . In 2002 , Arianna Huffington used the phrase `` pass the Kool - Aid , pardner '' in a column about an economic forum hosted by President George W. Bush . Later , commentators Michelangelo Signorile and Bill O'Reilly have used the term to describe those whom they perceive as following certain ideologies blindly . In a 2009 speech , Newsweek editor Jon Meacham stressed his political independence by saying , `` I did not drink the Obama Kool - Aid last year . '' In 2011 , columnist Meghan Daum wrote that the phrase had become `` one of the nation 's most popular idiomatic trends , '' while bemoaning its rise in popularity , calling its usage `` grotesque , even offensive . '' She cited , among others , usages by Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz , who said that he `` drank the Kool - Aid as much as anyone else about Obama , '' and Us Weekly magazine , which reported during the short marriage of Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries that `` Kris is not drinking the Kardashian Kool - Aid . '' In February 2012 , `` Drinking the Kool - Aid '' won first place in an online poll by Forbes Magazine as `` the single most annoying example of business jargon .

Civil fairies live in the Fairy Village , which consists of toadstools which have doors and windows . Fairies use magic and most of the faries are named after flowers and plants . Elves have their own catchphrase , `` ... and I 'm an Elf '' ( or `` We 're Elves '' ) , or ELF MANNN , and fairies also have their own catchphrase , commonly `` I 'm a fairy '' . Elves tell the time with wrist watches and / or clocks , while fairies tell the time in very unconventional ways . The Elves operate Elf Rescue , the Elf Farm and the Elf Windmill . King Thistle likes to play golf and crazy golf at the Royal Course . Ben and Holly have a ladybird friend called Gaston . Nanny Plum and the Wise Old Elf are characters too , and they have important jobs to do in the context of the show . Mr and Mrs Elf are Ben 's parents . The Wise Old Elf is not married anymore but has three sons . Characters ( edit ) Ben Elf is one of the main characters alongside Princess Holly . He lives with his parents , Mr. & Mrs. Elf . He lives in the Great Elf Tree , number 4 . He can be quite tentative when it comes to using magic , as Ben is a young elf . He does not have any siblings , but has many friends , and his best friend is Princess Holly . Ben is voiced by Preston Nyman . Holly Thistle is a fairy and one of the main characters alongside Ben Elf . She lives with her parents , King and Queen Thistle , and with her little sisters , Daisy & Poppy . She likes to use magic despite the risk of things going wrong . Her best friend is Ben Elf . Holly is voiced by Sian Taylor . Lucy is a human girl ( one of the ' big people ' to the citizens of the little kingdom ) and one of Ben and Holly 's friends . She wears an orange dress and has pale skin and brown hair . She lives with her parents . She befriends Ben and Holly when they accompany Nanny Plum while she is on the job as the tooth fairy and was woken up by them , but keeps their existence a secret . Lucy is voiced by Abigail Daniels . King Thistle rules over the Little Kingdom . He is the husband of Queen Thistle and Princess Holly , Daisy , and Poppy 's father . He is often hungry and grumpy , and sometimes hates having a bath . He dislikes celebrating his birthday because it reminds him he is getting older . When he was Holly 's age , he was known as Prince Thistle . King Thistle is voiced by Ian Puleston - Davies . Queen Thistle is the Queen in the Little Kingdom and the wife of King Thistle . She is Princess Holly , Daisy , and Poppy 's mother . Queen Thistle is Queen Marigold 's younger sister . She is one of the few people who can handle looking after Daisy and Poppy , though at times even she can be overwhelmed by the trouble they cause with their magic . Queen Thistle is voiced by Sara Crowe . Daisy and Poppy are Holly 's little twin sisters . They are not very good at magic as they are only babies , but this does not stop them from trying . They are quite cheeky and usually end up causing trouble with magic . As Daisy and Poppy can be very naughty , Holly sometimes dislikes her sisters . Due to the trouble they cause with their magic , most of the adult characters are wary of them , though Queen Thistle seems to be able to deal with them for the most part . Daisy and Poppy are voiced by Zoe Baker . Nanny Plum is Holly , Daisy , and Poppy 's nanny , and a general housekeeper for the King and Queen . She is very good at magic and capable of speaking many animal languages ( including ones which she claims to be a bit difficult such as Mole , Aardvark , Ant , Centipede and Alien ) . She often ends up in all kinds of trouble when trying to help Holly and friends . She is also a tooth fairy . Although being quite bossy and savage , she is very good at cleaning with magic . She rivals the Wise Old Elf mainly due to their differing opinions over the use of magic . She is a teacher at the Fairy School and also works as a maid . Nanny Plum is voiced by Sarah Ann Kennedy . The Wise Old Elf lives in the same tree as Ben at the top in room 98 . He also is the Wise Old Tailor , the elf doctor and the librarian . He also runs the Elf School and The Elf factory . He rivals Nanny Plum and strongly disapproves of magic , but used to admire magic and enjoyed himself when he was briefly given the ability to use magic . He also secretly used magic to fuel the Elf Engine that runs the Elf Factory , as it is clean energy ( `` a very small Carbon Footprint '' ) and never runs out except on No Magic Day that occurs every blue moon . He had three sons , two of which are pirates , Redbeard the Elf Pirate and Captain Squid , and a sensible son who later decided to be a Viking , as shown in the episode ' Fathers Day ' . The Wise Old Elf 's real name is Cedric . He went to college with Granny and Granpapa Thistle . He has a twin brother , an Arctic Elf named The Wiser Older Elf . The Wise Old Elf is voiced by David Graham . A running gag is that Elf Rescue is a parody of International Rescue the 1960s television series Thunderbirds , with comparable rocket - powered rescue vehicles and similar strident accompanying music . David Graham , who voices the Wise Old Elf , also voiced Parker the chauffeur in Thurderbirds . Gaston Ladybird is a male ladybird who lives in a small cave . He likes his house being messy as well as food that is `` smelly and foul '' . He does not mind giving Ben rides when Ben needs to fly . Nanny Plum , who understands Ladybird language , translates for him quite often . He acts quite similarly to a dog , making a barking sound when he `` speaks '' , and fetching sticks . Gaston has a brother , Tony , a sister - in - law , Pam , two nieces , Amber and Emerald , and a nephew , Keith . Gaston is voiced by Taig McNab , who is also credited as Editor for Ben and Holly 's Little Kingdom . Redbeard the Elf Pirate ( Nigel ) is the pirate uncle of Barnaby Elf , and brother of Fred Elf . He is introduced in series 1 , episode 31 , where it is also revealed that his real name is Nigel . He sails the oceans in a pirate ship named Pedro , though his size prevents him from engaging in acts of actual piracy , and he is more of a treasure hunter and explorer . He is quite smitten with Nanny Plum whom he considers to be his sweetheart , although Nanny seems to have little interest in him romantically . He has a pet parrot , Polly , although she is normal sized and barely fits inside Redbeard 's ship . Redbeard is voiced by David Rintoul . Sally ( Credited as `` Lucy 's Mum '' ) is Lucy 's mother , who lives near the little kingdom with Lucy and her husband . Unlike her husband , Sally is aware of the existence of elves and fairies as she has been friends with Nanny Plum , Prince Thistle ( subsequently King Thistle ) , and the Wise Old Elf , since she was a little girl , and like her daughter , keeps their existence a secret . Lucy 's Father lives near the little kingdom with Lucy and his wife . Whilst initially unaware of the existence of the little kingdom , he discovered their existence as a result of the attempts of the citizens of the little kingdom to prevent him building a place for his cows in the meadow where the little kingdom is located . He keeps their existence a secret , though he does so as he seems to think that other people would think he was crazy if he told them . Mrs. Fig is the teacher of the Magic School . Nanny Plum used to go there and Holly and her friends went there when they were old enough . Despite being a fairy , she detests magic and says the most important rules of magic are `` Do n't use magic '' and `` Magic should only be used for serious things '' . As a result , the Wise Old Elf likes her as they have similar views on magic . Mrs. Fig loathes Nanny Plum , who is implied to have been her worst student as she does not adhere to Mrs. Fig 's ideas on magic . Mrs. Fig is voiced by Morwenna Banks . Mrs. Fotheringill is Daisy and Poppy 's playgroup teacher . She was at one point sent back in time to the age of the dinosaurs by Daisy , Poppy , and the other fairy children in her playgroup . Fairy Mayor is a character based on Boris Johnson , the former Mayor of London . He is Strawberry 's dad and the vet 's husband . He does not like `` big people '' because they always step on fairies and elves . Fairy Mayor is voiced by Alexander Armstrong .

'' Lisa Schwarzbaum of Entertainment Weekly graded the film a D , writing in her review : `` It 's a contradiction in terms to think of the phenomenally successful , prolific entertainment showman Tyler Perry as lazy , but there 's no other description for this particular product : Terribly shot and crudely assembled . '' Scott Wilson concurred , stating : `` Why Did I Get Married Too ? lacks the underlying goodwill of some of his better work and plays like a gift wrapped present to his detractors .

It is the tenth generation of the iPhone , succeeding the iPhone 6S . It was announced on March 21 , 2016 at the Town Hall auditorium in the Apple Campus by Apple executive Greg Joswiak , with pre-orders beginning on March 24 and official release on March 31 , 2016 . It was re-released almost a year later on March 24 , 2017 with larger storage capacities . The iPhone SE shares the same physical design and dimensions as the iPhone 5S but has upgraded internal hardware , including the newer Apple A9 system - on - chip , greater battery capacity , and a 12 - megapixel rear camera that can record 4K video . Along with the iPhone 6S and the iPhone X , the iPhone SE was discontinued by Apple on September 12 , 2018 . No successor to the iPhone SE was announced , and Business Insider wrote that `` Apple made a big mistake by removing its smallest and most affordable iPhone from its lineup '' , suggesting that the company was disregarding a significant number of customers who had been worried over the loss of the smaller design . In relation with the discontinuation of the iPhone SE , Quartz mentioned that women and other smartphone users with smaller hands have reported `` pain from holding , scrolling , and swiping on phones , and a review of research on the ergonomics of handheld devices concludes that bigger products , like large phones and tablets , often result in overextension of the thumb and wrist '' , hinting to repetitive strain injury and that oversized iPhones and smartphones in general can be physically unusable for several users . The technology website Gizmodo shared the same concern , hoping that `` there will be a return to smaller phones '' , and expressed a desire `` to hold one 's phone in a single hand , and be able to use it fully . '' Contents 1 History 2 Specifications 2.1 Design 2.2 Hardware 2.3 Software 3 Reception 4 Timeline of models 5 See also 6 References 7 External links History ( edit ) The previous major redesign of the iPhone , the 4.7 - inch iPhone 6 and the 5.5 - inch iPhone 6 Plus , resulted in larger screen sizes . However , a significant number of customers still preferred the smaller 4 - inch screen size of the iPhone 5 and the iPhone 5S . Apple stated in the `` Let us loop you in '' event on March 21 , 2016 that they sold over 30 million 4 - inch iPhones in 2015 , further explaining that some people love smaller compact phones . Later in the event they presented the iPhone SE , describing it as `` the most powerful 4 - inch phone ever . '' The iPhone SE , iPhone 6S , and iPhone 6S Plus were the last iPhone models to feature a standard 3.5 mm stereo headphone jack . Specifications ( edit ) Design ( edit ) The exterior design of the iPhone SE is nearly identical to that of the iPhone 5 and the iPhone 5S , with the exception of matte - chamfered edges and an inset stainless steel rear Apple logo . Cases designed to fit the 5 and the 5S will also fit an iPhone SE . The iPhone SE is available in the colors Space Gray , Silver , Gold , and Rose Gold . Color Name Front Space Gray Black Silver White Gold White Rose Gold White Hardware ( edit ) The iPhone SE incorporates the Apple A9 system - on - chip ( SoC ) with an M9 motion coprocessor and supports near field communication for Apple Pay . It was released with 16 GB or 64 GB of internal storage . It features a 12 megapixel rear - facing camera with the ability to record 4K video at 30 frames per second . Unlike the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus , the SE does not include 3D Touch , nor the updated faster second - generation Touch ID sensor from the 6S and 6S Plus , or its barometer . On March 21 , 2017 Apple announced that it would double the storage for these models at the same launch prices . The upgraded models were released on March 24 , 2017 with 32 GB or 128 GB of internal storage . Software ( edit ) See also : iOS , iOS 9 , iOS 10 , iOS 11 , and iOS 12 The iPhone SE shipped with iOS 9.3 , supporting iPhone 6 and 6S - exclusive features such as Apple Pay , Live Photos , Retina Flash and always - on Siri voice activation . The SE is compatible with iOS 12 . Reception ( edit ) CNET was positive , considering the iPhone SE to be a `` great choice at the small end , with no compromises '' . CNET also lauded Apple for accomplishing the task of adapting the 6S 's hardware to three different form factors ; the smaller 4.0 - inch SE , 4.7 - inch 6S , and 5.5 - inch 6S Plus . The Verge considered the iPhone SE to be `` a much - improved , well - designed , small phone with great battery life '' and a `` great upgrade '' for existing owners of the 4S or 5S models , noting the device 's familiar form factor , high performance ( going as far as considering the screen size itself to be the only hindrance to multitasking and certain apps ) , and improved battery life . Giving the device an 8.7 out of 10 , Goode argued that `` the iPhone SE is not a tiny little engine of innovation . It 's today 's tech in yesterday 's phone body . As with anything , we should be wary of giving too much praise to something that 's just doing its job . '' TechCrunch admired the iPhone SE 's design and mentioned that the phone appealed `` not just to the nostalgic and neophobic , but simply people who prefer a smaller phone . I do n't have particularly large or small hands , but I preferred this highly pocketable , proven design to the new one for a number of reasons '' , describing the phone further as `` the best object Apple ever designed , filled with the best tech it had ever developed . It was the best phone it ever made . '' GSMArena mentioned that the iPhone SE `` struck the right balance between size , cost and performance '' and that it `` helped Apple sell more phones than predicted in the summer of 2016 , helping it beat analysts expectations and was strategic for Apple in price - sensitive markets such as India and China where Apple struggles to match its success from Western markets .

Blue light is scattered more than other wavelengths by the gases in the atmosphere , surrounding Earth in a visibly blue layer when seen from space on board the ISS at an altitude of 335 km ( 208 mi ) . Composition of Earth 's atmosphere by volume . Lower pie represents trace gases that together compose about 0.038 % of the atmosphere ( 0.043 % with CO at 2014 concentration ) . Numbers are mainly from 1987 , with CO and methane from 2009 , and do not represent any single source . The atmosphere of Earth is the layer of gases , commonly known as air , that surrounds the planet Earth and is retained by Earth 's gravity . The atmosphere of Earth protects life on Earth by creating pressure allowing for liquid water to exist on the Earth 's surface , absorbing ultraviolet solar radiation , warming the surface through heat retention ( greenhouse effect ) , and reducing temperature extremes between day and night ( the diurnal temperature variation ) . By volume , dry air contains 78.09 % nitrogen , 20.95 % oxygen , 0.93 % argon , 0.04 % carbon dioxide , and small amounts of other gases . Air also contains a variable amount of water vapor , on average around 1 % at sea level , and 0.4 % over the entire atmosphere . Air content and atmospheric pressure vary at different layers , and air suitable for use in photosynthesis by terrestrial plants and breathing of terrestrial animals is found only in Earth 's troposphere and in artificial atmospheres . The atmosphere has a mass of about 5.15 × 10 kg , three quarters of which is within about 11 km ( 6.8 mi ; 36,000 ft ) of the surface . The atmosphere becomes thinner and thinner with increasing altitude , with no definite boundary between the atmosphere and outer space . The Kármán line , at 100 km ( 62 mi ) , or 1.57 % of Earth 's radius , is often used as the border between the atmosphere and outer space . Atmospheric effects become noticeable during atmospheric reentry of spacecraft at an altitude of around 120 km ( 75 mi ) . Several layers can be distinguished in the atmosphere , based on characteristics such as temperature and composition . The study of Earth 's atmosphere and its processes is called atmospheric science ( aerology ) . Early pioneers in the field include Léon Teisserenc de Bort and Richard Assmann .

Water vapor accounts for roughly 0.25 % of the atmosphere by mass . The concentration of water vapor ( a greenhouse gas ) varies significantly from around 10 ppm by volume in the coldest portions of the atmosphere to as much as 5 % by volume in hot , humid air masses , and concentrations of other atmospheric gases are typically quoted in terms of dry air ( without water vapor ) . The remaining gases are often referred to as trace gases , among which are the greenhouse gases , principally carbon dioxide , methane , nitrous oxide , and ozone . Filtered air includes trace amounts of many other chemical compounds . Many substances of natural origin may be present in locally and seasonally variable small amounts as aerosols in an unfiltered air sample , including dust of mineral and organic composition , pollen and spores , sea spray , and volcanic ash . Various industrial pollutants also may be present as gases or aerosols , such as chlorine ( elemental or in compounds ) , fluorine compounds and elemental mercury vapor . Sulfur compounds such as hydrogen sulfide and sulfur dioxide ( SO ) may be derived from natural sources or from industrial air pollution .

Structure of the atmosphere Earth 's atmosphere Lower 4 layers of the atmosphere in 3 dimensions as seen diagonally from above the exobase . Layers drawn to scale , objects within the layers are not to scale . Aurorae shown here at the bottom of the thermosphere can actually form at any altitude in this atmospheric layer . Principal layers In general , air pressure and density decrease with altitude in the atmosphere . However , temperature has a more complicated profile with altitude , and may remain relatively constant or even increase with altitude in some regions ( see the temperature section , below ) . Because the general pattern of the temperature / altitude profile is constant and measurable by means of instrumented balloon soundings , the temperature behavior provides a useful metric to distinguish atmospheric layers . In this way , Earth 's atmosphere can be divided ( called atmospheric stratification ) into five main layers . Excluding the exosphere , the atmosphere has four primary layers , which are the troposphere , stratosphere , mesosphere , and thermosphere . From highest to lowest , the five main layers are : Exosphere : 700 to 10,000 km ( 440 to 6,200 miles ) Thermosphere : 80 to 700 km ( 50 to 440 miles ) Mesosphere : 50 to 80 km ( 31 to 50 miles ) Stratosphere : 12 to 50 km ( 7 to 31 miles ) Troposphere : 0 to 12 km ( 0 to 7 miles ) Exosphere Main article : Exosphere The exosphere is the outermost layer of Earth 's atmosphere ( i.e. the upper limit of the atmosphere ) . It extends from the exobase , which is located at the top of the thermosphere at an altitude of about 700 km above sea level , to about 10,000 km ( 6,200 mi ; 33,000,000 ft ) where it merges into the solar wind . This layer is mainly composed of extremely low densities of hydrogen , helium and several heavier molecules including nitrogen , oxygen and carbon dioxide closer to the exobase . The atoms and molecules are so far apart that they can travel hundreds of kilometers without colliding with one another . Thus , the exosphere no longer behaves like a gas , and the particles constantly escape into space . These free - moving particles follow ballistic trajectories and may migrate in and out of the magnetosphere or the solar wind . The exosphere is located too far above Earth for any meteorological phenomena to be possible . However , the aurora borealis and aurora australis sometimes occur in the lower part of the exosphere , where they overlap into the thermosphere . The exosphere contains most of the satellites orbiting Earth . Thermosphere Main article : Thermosphere The thermosphere is the second - highest layer of Earth 's atmosphere . It extends from the mesopause ( which separates it from the mesosphere ) at an altitude of about 80 km ( 50 mi ; 260,000 ft ) up to the thermopause at an altitude range of 500 -- 1000 km ( 310 -- 620 mi ; 1,600,000 -- 3,300,000 ft ) . The height of the thermopause varies considerably due to changes in solar activity . Because the thermopause lies at the lower boundary of the exosphere , it is also referred to as the exobase . The lower part of the thermosphere , from 80 to 550 kilometres ( 50 to 342 mi ) above Earth 's surface , contains the ionosphere . The temperature of the thermosphere gradually increases with height . Unlike the stratosphere beneath it , wherein a temperature inversion is due to the absorption of radiation by ozone , the inversion in the thermosphere occurs due to the extremely low density of its molecules . The temperature of this layer can rise as high as 1500 ° C ( 2700 ° F ) , though the gas molecules are so far apart that its temperature in the usual sense is not very meaningful . The air is so rarefied that an individual molecule ( of oxygen , for example ) travels an average of 1 kilometre ( 0.62 mi ; 3300 ft ) between collisions with other molecules . Although the thermosphere has a high proportion of molecules with high energy , it would not feel hot to a human in direct contact , because its density is too low to conduct a significant amount of energy to or from the skin . This layer is completely cloudless and free of water vapor . However , non-hydrometeorological phenomena such as the aurora borealis and aurora australis are occasionally seen in the thermosphere . The International Space Station orbits in this layer , between 350 and 420 km ( 220 and 260 mi ) . Mesosphere Main article : Mesosphere The mesosphere is the third highest layer of Earth 's atmosphere , occupying the region above the stratosphere and below the thermosphere . It extends from the stratopause at an altitude of about 50 km ( 31 mi ; 160,000 ft ) to the mesopause at 80 -- 85 km ( 50 -- 53 mi ; 260,000 -- 280,000 ft ) above sea level . Temperatures drop with increasing altitude to the mesopause that marks the top of this middle layer of the atmosphere . It is the coldest place on Earth and has an average temperature around − 85 ° C ( − 120 ° F ; 190 K ) . Just below the mesopause , the air is so cold that even the very scarce water vapor at this altitude can be sublimated into polar - mesospheric noctilucent clouds . These are the highest clouds in the atmosphere and may be visible to the naked eye if sunlight reflects off them about an hour or two after sunset or a similar length of time before sunrise . They are most readily visible when the Sun is around 4 to 16 degrees below the horizon . Lightning - induced discharges known as transient luminous events ( TLEs ) occasionally form in the mesosphere above tropospheric thunderclouds . The mesosphere is also the layer where most meteors burn up upon atmospheric entrance . It is too high above Earth to be accessible to jet - powered aircraft and balloons , and too low to permit orbital spacecraft . The mesosphere is mainly accessed by sounding rockets and rocket - powered aircraft . Stratosphere Main article : Stratosphere The stratosphere is the second - lowest layer of Earth 's atmosphere . It lies above the troposphere and is separated from it by the tropopause . This layer extends from the top of the troposphere at roughly 12 km ( 7.5 mi ; 39,000 ft ) above Earth 's surface to the stratopause at an altitude of about 50 to 55 km ( 31 to 34 mi ; 164,000 to 180,000 ft ) . The atmospheric pressure at the top of the stratosphere is roughly 1 / 1000 the pressure at sea level . It contains the ozone layer , which is the part of Earth 's atmosphere that contains relatively high concentrations of that gas . The stratosphere defines a layer in which temperatures rise with increasing altitude . This rise in temperature is caused by the absorption of ultraviolet radiation ( UV ) radiation from the Sun by the ozone layer , which restricts turbulence and mixing . Although the temperature may be − 60 ° C ( − 76 ° F ; 210 K ) at the tropopause , the top of the stratosphere is much warmer , and may be near 0 ° C . The stratospheric temperature profile creates very stable atmospheric conditions , so the stratosphere lacks the weather - producing air turbulence that is so prevalent in the troposphere . Consequently , the stratosphere is almost completely free of clouds and other forms of weather . However , polar stratospheric or nacreous clouds are occasionally seen in the lower part of this layer of the atmosphere where the air is coldest . The stratosphere is the highest layer that can be accessed by jet - powered aircraft . Troposphere Main article : Troposphere The troposphere is the lowest layer of Earth 's atmosphere . It extends from Earth 's surface to an average height of about 12 km , although this altitude varies from about 9 km ( 30,000 ft ) at the poles to 17 km ( 56,000 ft ) at the equator , with some variation due to weather . The troposphere is bounded above by the tropopause , a boundary marked in most places by a temperature inversion ( i.e. a layer of relatively warm air above a colder one ) , and in others by a zone which is isothermal with height . Although variations do occur , the temperature usually declines with increasing altitude in the troposphere because the troposphere is mostly heated through energy transfer from the surface . Thus , the lowest part of the troposphere ( i.e. Earth 's surface ) is typically the warmest section of the troposphere . This promotes vertical mixing ( hence the origin of its name in the Greek word τρόπος , tropos , meaning `` turn '' ) . The troposphere contains roughly 80 % of the mass of Earth 's atmosphere . The troposphere is denser than all its overlying atmospheric layers because a larger atmospheric weight sits on top of the troposphere and causes it to be most severely compressed . Fifty percent of the total mass of the atmosphere is located in the lower 5.6 km ( 18,000 ft ) of the troposphere . Nearly all atmospheric water vapor or moisture is found in the troposphere , so it is the layer where most of Earth 's weather takes place . It has basically all the weather - associated cloud genus types generated by active wind circulation , although very tall cumulonimbus thunder clouds can penetrate the tropopause from below and rise into the lower part of the stratosphere . Most conventional aviation activity takes place in the troposphere , and it is the only layer that can be accessed by propeller - driven aircraft . Space Shuttle Endeavour orbiting in the thermosphere . Because of the angle of the photo , it appears to straddle the stratosphere and mesosphere that actually lie more than 250 km below . The orange layer is the troposphere , which gives way to the whitish stratosphere and then the blue mesosphere . Other layers Within the five principal layers that are largely determined by temperature , several secondary layers may be distinguished by other properties : The ozone layer is contained within the stratosphere . In this layer ozone concentrations are about 2 to 8 parts per million , which is much higher than in the lower atmosphere but still very small compared to the main components of the atmosphere . It is mainly located in the lower portion of the stratosphere from about 15 -- 35 km ( 9.3 -- 21.7 mi ; 49,000 -- 115,000 ft ) , though the thickness varies seasonally and geographically . About 90 % of the ozone in Earth 's atmosphere is contained in the stratosphere . The ionosphere is a region of the atmosphere that is ionized by solar radiation . It is responsible for auroras . During daytime hours , it stretches from 50 to 1,000 km ( 31 to 621 mi ; 160,000 to 3,280,000 ft ) and includes the mesosphere , thermosphere , and parts of the exosphere . However , ionization in the mesosphere largely ceases during the night , so auroras are normally seen only in the thermosphere and lower exosphere . The ionosphere forms the inner edge of the magnetosphere . It has practical importance because it influences , for example , radio propagation on Earth . The homosphere and heterosphere are defined by whether the atmospheric gases are well mixed . The surface - based homosphere includes the troposphere , stratosphere , mesosphere , and the lowest part of the thermosphere , where the chemical composition of the atmosphere does not depend on molecular weight because the gases are mixed by turbulence . This relatively homogeneous layer ends at the turbopause found at about 100 km ( 62 mi ; 330,000 ft ) , the very edge of space itself as accepted by the FAI , which places it about 20 km ( 12 mi ; 66,000 ft ) above the mesopause . Above this altitude lies the heterosphere , which includes the exosphere and most of the thermosphere . Here , the chemical composition varies with altitude . This is because the distance that particles can move without colliding with one another is large compared with the size of motions that cause mixing . This allows the gases to stratify by molecular weight , with the heavier ones , such as oxygen and nitrogen , present only near the bottom of the heterosphere . The upper part of the heterosphere is composed almost completely of hydrogen , the lightest element . The planetary boundary layer is the part of the troposphere that is closest to Earth 's surface and is directly affected by it , mainly through turbulent diffusion . During the day the planetary boundary layer usually is well - mixed , whereas at night it becomes stably stratified with weak or intermittent mixing . The depth of the planetary boundary layer ranges from as little as about 100 metres ( 330 ft ) on clear , calm nights to 3,000 m ( 9,800 ft ) or more during the afternoon in dry regions . The average temperature of the atmosphere at Earth 's surface is 14 ° C ( 57 ° F ; 287 K ) or 15 ° C ( 59 ° F ; 288 K ) , depending on the reference . Physical properties Comparison of the 1962 US Standard Atmosphere graph of geometric altitude against air density , pressure , the speed of sound and temperature with approximate altitudes of various objects . Pressure and thickness Main article : Atmospheric pressure The average atmospheric pressure at sea level is defined by the International Standard Atmosphere as 101325 pascals ( 760.00 Torr ; 14.6959 psi ; 760.00 mmHg ) . This is sometimes referred to as a unit of standard atmospheres ( atm ) . Total atmospheric mass is 5.1480 × 10 kg ( 1.135 × 10 lb ) , about 2.5 % less than would be inferred from the average sea level pressure and Earth 's area of 51007.2 megahectares , this portion being displaced by Earth 's mountainous terrain . Atmospheric pressure is the total weight of the air above unit area at the point where the pressure is measured . Thus air pressure varies with location and weather . If the entire mass of the atmosphere had a uniform density from sea level , it would terminate abruptly at an altitude of 8.50 km ( 27,900 ft ) . It actually decreases exponentially with altitude , dropping by half every 5.6 km ( 18,000 ft ) or by a factor of 1 / e every 7.64 km ( 25,100 ft ) , the average scale height of the atmosphere below 70 km ( 43 mi ; 230,000 ft ) . However , the atmosphere is more accurately modeled with a customized equation for each layer that takes gradients of temperature , molecular composition , solar radiation and gravity into account . In summary , the mass of Earth 's atmosphere is distributed approximately as follows : 50 % is below 5.6 km ( 18,000 ft ) . 90 % is below 16 km ( 52,000 ft ) . 99.99997 % is below 100 km ( 62 mi ; 330,000 ft ) , the Kármán line . By international convention , this marks the beginning of space where human travelers are considered astronauts . By comparison , the summit of Mt . Everest is at 8,848 m ( 29,029 ft ) ; commercial airliners typically cruise between 10 km ( 33,000 ft ) and 13 km ( 43,000 ft ) where the thinner air improves fuel economy ; weather balloons reach 30.4 km ( 100,000 ft ) and above ; and the highest X-15 flight in 1963 reached 108.0 km ( 354,300 ft ) . Even above the Kármán line , significant atmospheric effects such as auroras still occur . Meteors begin to glow in this region , though the larger ones may not burn up until they penetrate more deeply . The various layers of Earth 's ionosphere , important to HF radio propagation , begin below 100 km and extend beyond 500 km . By comparison , the International Space Station and Space Shuttle typically orbit at 350 -- 400 km , within the F - layer of the ionosphere where they encounter enough atmospheric drag to require reboosts every few months . Depending on solar activity , satellites can experience noticeable atmospheric drag at altitudes as high as 700 -- 800 km . Temperature and speed of sound Main articles : Atmospheric temperature and Speed of sound Temperature trends in two thick layers of the atmosphere as measured between January 1979 and December 2005 by Microwave Sounding Units and Advanced Microwave Sounding Units on NOAA weather satellites . The instruments record microwaves emitted from oxygen molecules in the atmosphere . Source : The division of the atmosphere into layers mostly by reference to temperature is discussed above . Temperature decreases with altitude starting at sea level , but variations in this trend begin above 11 km , where the temperature stabilizes through a large vertical distance through the rest of the troposphere . In the stratosphere , starting above about 20 km , the temperature increases with height , due to heating within the ozone layer caused by capture of significant ultraviolet radiation from the Sun by the dioxygen and ozone gas in this region . Still another region of increasing temperature with altitude occurs at very high altitudes , in the aptly - named thermosphere above 90 km . Because in an ideal gas of constant composition the speed of sound depends only on temperature and not on the gas pressure or density , the speed of sound in the atmosphere with altitude takes on the form of the complicated temperature profile ( see illustration to the right ) , and does not mirror altitudinal changes in density or pressure . Density and mass Temperature and mass density against altitude from the NRLMSISE - 00 standard atmosphere model ( the eight dotted lines in each `` decade '' are at the eight cubes 8 , 27 , 64 , ... , 729 ) Main article : Density of air The density of air at sea level is about 1.2 kg / m ( 1.2 g / L , 0.0012 g / cm ) . Density is not measured directly but is calculated from measurements of temperature , pressure and humidity using the equation of state for air ( a form of the ideal gas law ) . Atmospheric density decreases as the altitude increases . This variation can be approximately modeled using the barometric formula . More sophisticated models are used to predict orbital decay of satellites . The average mass of the atmosphere is about 5 quadrillion ( 5 × 10 ) tonnes or 1 / 1,200,000 the mass of Earth . According to the American National Center for Atmospheric Research , `` The total mean mass of the atmosphere is 5.1480 × 10 kg with an annual range due to water vapor of 1.2 or 1.5 × 10 kg , depending on whether surface pressure or water vapor data are used ; somewhat smaller than the previous estimate . The mean mass of water vapor is estimated as 1.27 × 10 kg and the dry air mass as 5.1352 ± 0.0003 × 10 kg . '' Optical properties This section does not cite any sources .

( October 2013 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) See also : Sunlight Solar radiation ( or sunlight ) is the energy Earth receives from the Sun . Earth also emits radiation back into space , but at longer wavelengths that we can not see . Part of the incoming and emitted radiation is absorbed or reflected by the atmosphere . In May 2017 , glints of light , seen as twinkling from an orbiting satellite a million miles away , were found to be reflected light from ice crystals in the atmosphere . Scattering Main article : Scattering When light passes through Earth 's atmosphere , photons interact with it through scattering . If the light does not interact with the atmosphere , it is called direct radiation and is what you see if you were to look directly at the Sun . Indirect radiation is light that has been scattered in the atmosphere . For example , on an overcast day when you can not see your shadow there is no direct radiation reaching you , it has all been scattered . As another example , due to a phenomenon called Rayleigh scattering , shorter ( blue ) wavelengths scatter more easily than longer ( red ) wavelengths . This is why the sky looks blue ; you are seeing scattered blue light . This is also why sunsets are red . Because the Sun is close to the horizon , the Sun 's rays pass through more atmosphere than normal to reach your eye . Much of the blue light has been scattered out , leaving the red light in a sunset . Absorption Main article : Absorption ( electromagnetic radiation ) Rough plot of Earth 's atmospheric transmittance ( or opacity ) to various wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation , including visible light . Different molecules absorb different wavelengths of radiation . For example , O and O absorb almost all wavelengths shorter than 300 nanometers . Water ( H O ) absorbs many wavelengths above 700 nm . When a molecule absorbs a photon , it increases the energy of the molecule . This heats the atmosphere , but the atmosphere also cools by emitting radiation , as discussed below . The combined absorption spectra of the gases in the atmosphere leave `` windows '' of low opacity , allowing the transmission of only certain bands of light . The optical window runs from around 300 nm ( ultraviolet - C ) up into the range humans can see , the visible spectrum ( commonly called light ) , at roughly 400 -- 700 nm and continues to the infrared to around 1100 nm . There are also infrared and radio windows that transmit some infrared and radio waves at longer wavelengths . For example , the radio window runs from about one centimeter to about eleven - meter waves . Emission Main article : Emission ( electromagnetic radiation ) Emission is the opposite of absorption , it is when an object emits radiation . Objects tend to emit amounts and wavelengths of radiation depending on their `` black body '' emission curves , therefore hotter objects tend to emit more radiation , with shorter wavelengths . Colder objects emit less radiation , with longer wavelengths . For example , the Sun is approximately 6,000 K ( 5,730 ° C ; 10,340 ° F ) , its radiation peaks near 500 nm , and is visible to the human eye . Earth is approximately 290 K ( 17 ° C ; 62 ° F ) , so its radiation peaks near 10,000 nm , and is much too long to be visible to humans . Because of its temperature , the atmosphere emits infrared radiation . For example , on clear nights Earth 's surface cools down faster than on cloudy nights . This is because clouds ( H O ) are strong absorbers and emitters of infrared radiation . This is also why it becomes colder at night at higher elevations . The greenhouse effect is directly related to this absorption and emission effect . Some gases in the atmosphere absorb and emit infrared radiation , but do not interact with sunlight in the visible spectrum . Common examples of these are CO and H O . Refractive index See also : Scintillation ( astronomy ) The refractive index of air is close to , but just greater than 1 . Systematic variations in refractive index can lead to the bending of light rays over long optical paths . One example is that , under some circumstances , observers onboard ships can see other vessels just over the horizon because light is refracted in the same direction as the curvature of Earth 's surface . The refractive index of air depends on temperature , giving rise to refraction effects when the temperature gradient is large . An example of such effects is the mirage . Circulation Main article : Atmospheric circulation An idealised view of three large circulation cells . Atmospheric circulation is the large - scale movement of air through the troposphere , and the means ( with ocean circulation ) by which heat is distributed around Earth . The large - scale structure of the atmospheric circulation varies from year to year , but the basic structure remains fairly constant because it is determined by Earth 's rotation rate and the difference in solar radiation between the equator and poles . Evolution of Earth 's atmosphere See also : History of Earth and Paleoclimatology Earliest atmosphere The first atmosphere consisted of gases in the solar nebula , primarily hydrogen . There were probably simple hydrides such as those now found in the gas giants ( Jupiter and Saturn ) , notably water vapor , methane and ammonia . Second atmosphere Outgassing from volcanism , supplemented by gases produced during the late heavy bombardment of Earth by huge asteroids , produced the next atmosphere , consisting largely of nitrogen plus carbon dioxide and inert gases . A major part of carbon - dioxide emissions dissolved in water and reacted with metals such as calcium and magnesium during weathering of crustal rocks to form carbonates that were deposited as sediments . Water - related sediments have been found that date from as early as 3.8 billion years ago . About 3.4 billion years ago , nitrogen formed the major part of the then stable `` second atmosphere '' . The influence of life has to be taken into account rather soon in the history of the atmosphere , because hints of early life - forms appear as early as 3.5 billion years ago . How Earth at that time maintained a climate warm enough for liquid water and life , if the early Sun put out 30 % lower solar radiance than today , is a puzzle known as the `` faint young Sun paradox '' . The geological record however shows a continuous relatively warm surface during the complete early temperature record of Earth -- with the exception of one cold glacial phase about 2.4 billion years ago . In the late Archean Eon an oxygen - containing atmosphere began to develop , apparently produced by photosynthesizing cyanobacteria ( see Great Oxygenation Event ) , which have been found as stromatolite fossils from 2.7 billion years ago . The early basic carbon isotopy ( isotope ratio proportions ) strongly suggests conditions similar to the current , and that the fundamental features of the carbon cycle became established as early as 4 billion years ago . Ancient sediments in the Gabon dating from between about 2,150 and 2,080 million years ago provide a record of Earth 's dynamic oxygenation evolution . These fluctuations in oxygenation were likely driven by the Lomagundi carbon isotope excursion . Third atmosphere Oxygen content of the atmosphere over the last billion years The constant re-arrangement of continents by plate tectonics influences the long - term evolution of the atmosphere by transferring carbon dioxide to and from large continental carbonate stores . Free oxygen did not exist in the atmosphere until about 2.4 billion years ago during the Great Oxygenation Event and its appearance is indicated by the end of the banded iron formations . Before this time , any oxygen produced by photosynthesis was consumed by oxidation of reduced materials , notably iron . Molecules of free oxygen did not start to accumulate in the atmosphere until the rate of production of oxygen began to exceed the availability of reducing materials that removed oxygen . This point signifies a shift from a reducing atmosphere to an oxidizing atmosphere . O showed major variations until reaching a steady state of more than 15 % by the end of the Precambrian . The following time span from 541 million years ago to the present day is the Phanerozoic Eon , during the earliest period of which , the Cambrian , oxygen - requiring metazoan life forms began to appear . The amount of oxygen in the atmosphere has fluctuated over the last 600 million years , reaching a peak of about 30 % around 280 million years ago , significantly higher than today 's 21 % . Two main processes govern changes in the atmosphere : Plants use carbon dioxide from the atmosphere , releasing oxygen . Breakdown of pyrite and volcanic eruptions release sulfur into the atmosphere , which oxidizes and hence reduces the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere . However , volcanic eruptions also release carbon dioxide , which plants can convert to oxygen . The exact cause of the variation of the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere is not known . Periods with much oxygen in the atmosphere are associated with rapid development of animals . Today 's atmosphere contains 21 % oxygen , which is great enough for this rapid development of animals . Air pollution Main article : Air pollution Air pollution is the introduction into the atmosphere of chemicals , particulate matter or biological materials that cause harm or discomfort to organisms . Stratospheric ozone depletion is caused by air pollution , chiefly from chlorofluorocarbons and other ozone - depleting substances . The scientific consensus is that the anthropogenic greenhouse gases currently accumulating in the atmosphere are the main cause of global warming . Play media Animation shows the buildup of tropospheric CO in the Northern Hemisphere with a maximum around May . The maximum in the vegetation cycle follows in the late summer . Following the peak in vegetation , the drawdown of atmospheric CO due to photosynthesis is apparent , particularly over the boreal forests . Images from space On October 19 , 2015 NASA started a website containing daily images of the full sunlit side of Earth on http://epic.gsfc.nasa.gov/ .

A steep - sided ravine in the Great Rift Valley that stretches across East Africa , it is about 48 km ( 30 mi ) long , and is located in the eastern Serengeti Plains in the Arusha Region not far , about 45 kilometres ( 28 miles ) , from Laetoli , another important archaeological site of early human occupation . The British / Kenyan paleoanthropologist - archeologist team Mary and Louis Leakey established and developed the excavation and research programs at Olduvai Gorge which achieved great advances of human knowledge and world - renowned status . Homo habilis , probably the first early human species , occupied Olduvai Gorge approximately 1.9 million years ago ( mya ) ; then came a contemporary australopithecine , Paranthropus boisei , 1.8 mya , then Homo erectus , 1.2 mya . Our species Homo sapiens , which is estimated to have emerged roughly 300,000 years ago , is dated to have occupied the site 17,000 years ago . The site is significant in showing the increasing developmental and social complexities in the earliest humans , or hominins , largely revealed in the production and use of stone tools . And prior to tools , the evidence of scavenging and hunting -- highlighted by the presence of gnaw marks that predate cut marks -- and of the ratio of meat versus plant material in the early hominin diet . The collecting of tools and animal remains in a central area is evidence of developing social interaction and communal activity . All these factors indicate increase in cognitive capacities at the beginning of the period of hominids transitioning to hominin -- that is , to human -- form and behavior .

Research ( edit ) German neurologist Wilhelm Kattwinkel traveled to Olduvai Gorge in 1911 , where he observed many fossil bones of an extinct three - toed horse . Inspired by Kattwinkel 's discovery , German geologist Hans Reck led a team to Olduvai in 1913 . There , he found hominin remains , but the start of World War I halted his research . In 1929 , Louis Leakey visited Reck and viewed the Olduvai fossils ; he became convinced that Olduvai Gorge held critical information on human origins , and he proceeded to mount an expedition there . Louis and Mary Leakey are responsible for most of the excavations and discoveries of the hominin fossils in Olduvai Gorge . Their finds and research in East Africa and the prior work of Raymond Dart and Robert Broom in South Africa eventually convinced most paleoanthropologists that humans did indeed evolve in Africa . In 1959 , at the Frida Leakey Korongo ( FLK ) site ( named after Louis ' first wife ) , Mary Leakey found remains of the robust australopithecine Zinjanthropus boisei ( now known as Paranthropus boisei ) -- which she dubbed the `` Nutcracker Man '' ; its age , 1.75 million years , radically altered accepted ideas about the time scale of human evolution . In addition to an abundance of faunal remains the Leakeys found more than 2,000 stone tools and lithic flakes , most of which they classified as Oldowan ( of Olduvai ) tools . In 1960 , the Leakeys ' son Jonathan found a jaw fragment that proved to be the first fossil specimen of Homo habilis . Researchers have dated Olduvai Gorge layers with radiometric dating of the embedded artifacts , using potassium - argon and argon - argon methodology . Geologist Richard L. Hay studied the Olduvai Gorge and surrounding region between 1961 and 2002 . His findings revealed that the site once contained a large lake , with shores covered by deposits of volcanic ash . Around 500,000 years ago , seismic activity diverted a nearby stream which proceeded to cut down through the sediments , revealing seven main layers in the walls of the gorge . The name Olduvai is a misspelling of Oldupai Gorge , which was adopted as the official name in 2005 . Oldupai is the Maasai word for the wild sisal plant Sansevieria ehrenbergii , which grows in the gorge . Occupation ( edit ) Homo habilis occupied Olduvai from 1.9 mya . The australopithecine Paranthropus boisei was found to occupy the site from approximately 1.8 until 1.2 mya . Remains of Homo erectus have been dated at the site from 1.2 mya until 700,000 years ago . Homo sapiens came to occupy the gorge some 17,000 years ago .

The Leakeys soon turned the evidence that confirmed their intuition . They found stone tools in the lowest ( oldest ) geological beds ( see below ) . These tools presented both shaped edges and sharp points ; and lithic flakes -- struck off the core stone in the intentional shaping of those points and edges -- were found in copious amounts . Panoramic view Close - up of monolith The Leakeys mapped locations where the tools were found and the sites where the unprocessed materials ( stone cobbles ) originated . They determined that some tools were found to have been transported up to nine miles from the place of origin , which suggested cognitive capacities to think and plan , and to execute , with abstract thought and purpose of mind . The Oldowan tools were found in the same stratum as the Australopithecus specimen , but the large number of other hominin fossils dating back to two mya complicated the discussion as to which species was , in fact , the toolmaker . The first species found by the Leakeys , Zinjanthropus boisei or Australopithecus boisei ( renamed and still debated as Paranthropus boisei ) , featured a sagittal crest and large molars , which attributes suggested the species engaged in heavy chewing , indicating a diet of tough plant material , including tubers , nuts , and seeds -- and possibly large quantities of grasses and sedges . Conversely , the Leakeys ' 1960s finds presented different characteristics . The skull lacked of a sagittal crest and the braincase was much more rounded , suggesting it was not australopithecine . The larger braincase suggested a larger brain capacity than that of Australopithecus boisei . These important differences indicated a different species , which eventually was named Homo habilis . Its larger brain capacity and decreased teeth size pointed to Homo as the probable toolmaker . The oldest tools at Olduvai , found at the lowest layer and classified as Oldowan , consists of pebbles chipped on one edge . Above this layer , and later in time , are the true hand - axe industries , the Chellean and the Acheulean . Higher still ( and later still ) are located Levallois artifacts , and finally the Stillbay implements . Oldowan tools in general are called `` pebble tools '' because the blanks chosen by the stone knapper already resembled , in pebble form , the final product . Mary Leakey classified the Oldowan tools according to usage ; she developed Oldowan A , B , and C categories , linking them to Modes 1 , 2 , and 3 assemblages classified according to mode of manufacture . Her work remains a foundation for assessing local , regional , and continental changes in stone tool - making during the early Pleistocene , and aids in assessing which hominins were responsible for the several changes in stone tool technology over time . It is not known for sure which hominin species was first to create Oldowan tools . The emergence of tool culture has also been associated with the pre-Homo species Australopithecus garhi , and its flourishing is associated with the early species Homo habilis and Homo ergaster . Beginning 1.7 million years ago , early Homo erectus apparently inherited Oldowan technology and refined it into the Acheulean industry . Dating of Beds ( edit ) Oldowan tools occur in Beds I -- IV at Olduvai Gorge . Bed I , dated 1.85 to 1.7 mya , contains Oldowan tools and fossils of Paranthropus boisei and Homo habilis , as does Bed II , 1.7 to 1.2 mya . H. habilis gave way to Homo erectus at about 1.6 mya , but P. boisei persisted . Oldowan tools continue to Bed IV at 800,000 to 600,000 before present ( BP ) . A significant change took place between Beds I and II at about 1.5 mya . Flake size increased , the length of bifacial edges ( as opposed to single - face edges ) occurred more frequently and their length increased , and signs of battering on other artifacts increased . Some likely implications of these factors , among others , are that after this pivotal time hominins used tools more frequently , became better at making tools , and transported tools more often . Unprocessed materials ( edit ) Lava and quartz were used to make tools in Olduvai Gorge . Only in the period 1.65 to 1.53 ma was chert used , and it presents a significant difference in appearance among the assemblages of Olduvai Gorge . Hunters or scavengers ? ( edit ) Though substantial evidence of hunting and scavenging has been discovered at Olduvai Gorge , it is believed by archaeologists that hominins inhabiting the area between 1.9 and 1.7 mya spent the majority of their time gathering wild plant foods , such as berries , tubers and roots . The earliest hominins most likely did not rely on meat for the bulk of their nutrition . Speculation about the amount of meat in their diets is inferred from comparative studies with a close relative of early hominins : the modern chimpanzee . The chimpanzee 's diet in the wild consists of only about five percent as meat . And the diets of modern hunter - gatherers do not include a large amount of meat . That is , most of the calories in both groups ' diets came from plant sources . Thus , it can be assumed that early hominins had similar diet proportions , ( see the middle - range theory or bridging arguments -- bridging arguments are used by archaeologists to explain past behaviors , and they include an underlying assumption of uniformitarianism . ) Much of the information about early hominins comes from tools and debris piles of lithic flakes from such sites as FLK - Zinjanthropus in Olduvai Gorge . Early hominins selected specific types of rocks that would break in a predictable manner when `` worked '' , and carried these rocks from deposits several miles away . Archaeologists such as Fiona Marshall fitted rock fragments back together like a puzzle . She states in her article `` Life in Olduvai Gorge '' that early hominins , `` knew the right angle to hit the cobble , or core , in order to successfully produce sharp - edged flakes ... '' . She noted that selected flakes then were used to cut meat from animal carcasses , and shaped cobbles ( called choppers ) were used to extract marrow and to chop tough plant material . Bone fragments of birds , fish , amphibians , and large mammals were found at the FLK - Zinj site , many of which were scarred with marks . These likely were made by hominins breaking open the bones for marrow , using tools to strip the meat , or by carnivores having gnawed the bones . Since several kinds of marks are present together , some archaeologists including Lewis Binford think that hominins scavenged the meat or marrow left over from carnivore kills . Others like Henry Bunn believe the hominins hunted and killed these animals , and carnivores later chewed the bones . This issue is still debated today , but archaeologist Pat Shipman provided evidence that scavenging was probably the more common practice ; she published that the majority of carnivore teeth marks came before the cut marks . Another finding by Shipman at FLK - Zinj is that many of the wildebeest bones found there are over-represented by adult and male bones ; and this may indicate that hominins were systematically hunting these animals as well as scavenging them . The issue of hunting versus gathering at Olduvai Gorge is still a controversial one .

what is the main duty of the u.s. congress
Powers of the United States Congress - wikipedia Powers of the United States Congress Jump to : navigation , search This is a subarticle of United States Congress Congress meets in the United States Capitol . Powers of the United States Congress are implemented by the United States Constitution , defined by rulings of the Supreme Court , and by its own efforts and by other factors such as history and custom . It is the chief legislative body of the United States . Some powers are explicitly defined by the Constitution and are called enumerated powers ; others have been assumed to exist and are called implied powers . Contents ( hide ) 1 General powers 2 Enumerated powers 3 Implied powers and the commerce clause 4 References 5 External links General powers ( edit ) Former US general George Washington presided over the signing of the United States Constitution which included Alexander Hamilton , Benjamin Franklin , and James Madison . Article I of the Constitution sets forth most of the powers of Congress , which include numerous explicit powers enumerated in Section 8 . Constitutional amendments have granted Congress additional powers . Congress also has implied powers derived from the Necessary and Proper Clause of the Constitution . Congress has the power of the purse and it can tax citizens , spend money , and authorize the printing of currency such as this bill for $100,000 . Congress has authority over financial and budgetary matters , through the enumerated power to lay and collect taxes , duties , imposts and excises , to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States . The Sixteenth Amendment , ratified in 1913 , extended power of taxation to include income taxes . The Constitution also grants Congress exclusively the power to appropriate funds . This power of the purse is one of Congress ' primary checks on the executive branch . Other powers granted to Congress include the authority to borrow money on the credit of the United States , regulate commerce with foreign nations and among the states , and coin money . Generally both Senate and House have equal legislative authority although only the House may originate revenue bills and , by tradition , appropriation bills . Congress authorizes defense spending to buy and maintain aircraft carriers such as the USS Bon Homme Richard . The name Richard is from a rough French language reference to Benjamin Franklin 's Poor Richard 's Almanac meaning Good man Richard . The Constitution also gives Congress an important role in national defense , including the exclusive power to declare war , to raise and maintain the armed forces , and to make rules for the military . Some critics charge that the executive branch has usurped Congress 's Constitutionally - defined task of declaring war . While historically presidents initiated the process for going to war , they asked for and received formal war declarations from Congress for the War of 1812 , the Mexican -- American War , the Spanish -- American War , World War I , and World War II , although President Theodore Roosevelt 's military move into Panama in 1903 did not get Congressional assent . Presidents have initiated war without Congressional war declarations ; Truman called the Korean War a `` police action '' and the Vietnam War lasted over a decade without a declaration of war . In 1970 , Time magazine noted : `` All told , it has been calculated , U.S. presidents have ordered troops into position or action without a formal congressional declaration a total of 149 times '' before 1970 . In 1993 , one writer noted `` Congress 's war power has become the most flagrantly disregarded provision in the Constitution , '' and that the `` real erosion ( of Congressional authority to declare war ) began after World War II . '' President George H.W. Bush claimed he could begin Operation Desert Storm and launch a `` deliberate , unhurried , post -- Cold War decision to start a war '' without Congressional approval . Critics charge that President George W. Bush largely initiated the Iraq War with little debate in Congress or consultation with Congress , despite a Congressional vote on military force authorization . Disagreement about the extent of congressional versus presidential power regarding war has been present periodically throughout the nation 's history . An enumerated congressional power is to establish post offices including this one in Athens , Georgia , pictured in 1942 . Congress also has the power to establish post offices and post roads , issue patents and copyrights , fix standards of weights and measures , establish courts inferior to the Supreme Court , and `` To make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers , and all other powers vested by this Constitution in the government of the United States , or in any department or officer thereof . '' Article Four gives Congress the power to admit new states into the Union . One congressional power is oversight of other branches of the government . In the early 1970s , the Senate investigated the activities of President Richard Nixon regarding Watergate which led to the president 's resignation . One of the foremost non-legislative functions of the Congress is the power to investigate and to oversee the executive branch . Congressional oversight is usually delegated to committees and is facilitated by Congress ' subpoena power . Some critics have charged that Congress has in some instances failed to do an adequate job of overseeing the other branches of government . In the Valerie Plame Wilson episode sometimes known as the Plame affair , some critics , including Representative Henry A. Waxman , charged that Congress was not doing an adequate job of oversight in this case . Other critics charge Congress was lax in its oversight duties regarding presidential actions such as warrantless wiretapping , although others respond that Congress did investigate the legality of decisions by President George W. Bush involving such matters . Congress has the power to impeach officials including the president . In 1868 , this committee helped impeach president Andrew Johnson who was almost convicted ; Johnson stayed in office . Congress also has the exclusive impeachment power , allowing impeachment , trial , and removal of the President , federal judges and other federal officers . Enumerated powers ( edit ) Main article : Enumerated powers Among the powers specifically given to Congress in Article I Section 8 , are the following : 1.To lay and collect taxes , duties , imposts and excises , to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States ; but all duties , imposts and excises shall be uniform throughout the United States ; 2 . To borrow money on the credit of the United States ; 3 . To regulate commerce with foreign nations , and among the several states , and with the Native American tribes ; 4 . To establish a uniform rule of naturalization , and uniform laws on the subject of bankruptcies throughout the United States ; 5 . To coin money , regulate the value thereof , and of foreign coin , and fix the standard of weights and measures ; 6 . To provide for the punishment of counterfeiting the securities and current coin of the United States ; 7 . To establish post offices and post roads ; 8 . To promote the progress of science and useful arts , by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries ; 9 . To constitute tribunals inferior to the Supreme Court ; 10 . To define and punish piracies and felonies committed on the high seas , and offenses against the law of nations ; 11 . To declare war , grant letters of marque and reprisal , and make rules concerning captures on land and water ; 12 . To raise and support armies , but no appropriation of money to that use shall be for a longer term than two years ; 13 . To provide and maintain a navy ; 14 . To make rules for the government and regulation of the land and naval forces ; 15 . To provide for calling forth the militia to execute the laws of the union , suppress insurrections and repel invasions ; 16 . To provide for organizing , arming , and disciplining , the militia , and for governing such part of them as may be employed in the service of the United States , reserving to the states respectively , the appointment of the officers , and the authority of training the militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress ; 17 . To exercise exclusive legislation in all cases whatsoever , over such District ( not exceeding ten miles ( 16 km ) square ) as may , by cession of particular states , and the acceptance of Congress , become the seat of the government of the United States , and to exercise like authority over all places purchased by the consent of the legislature of the state in which the same shall be , for the erection of forts , magazines , arsenals , dockyards , and other needful buildings . One of many congressional powers is to `` define and punish piracies on the high seas '' . Other congressional powers have been granted , or confirmed , by constitutional amendments . The Thirteenth ( 1865 ) , Fourteenth ( 1868 ) , and Fifteenth Amendments ( 1870 ) gave Congress authority to enact legislation to enforce rights of all citizens regardless of race , including voting rights , due process , and equal protection under the law . Generally militia forces are controlled by state governments , not Congress . Implied powers and the commerce Clause ( edit ) Representative John A. Bingham of Ohio was a principal framer of the Fourteenth Amendment . Congress also has implied powers , which derive from the Necessary and Proper Clause of the Constitution and permit Congress `` To make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers , and all other powers vested by this Constitution in the government of the United States , or in any department or officer thereof . '' Broad interpretations of this clause and of the Commerce Clause , the enumerated power to regulate commerce , in rulings such as McCulloch v Maryland , have effectively widened the scope of Congress ' legislative authority far beyond that prescribed in Section 8 .

AllMusic lists over 300 recorded releases of the song in versions by dozens of performers . While Brenda Lee 's version had stalled at number 45 on the country charts in 1972 , other performers would reach the top 20 in the United States and elsewhere with their own versions : Elvis Presley in 1972 ; John Wesley Ryles in 1979 ; Willie Nelson 's Grammy Award - winning version in 1982 ; Pet Shop Boys in 1987 ; Loretta Lynn in 2016 .

Carson , who had the song about a year and one day , was finishing a recording session . Producer Chips Moman asked about recording `` that mind '' song , but added it would need a bridge . Wayne went upstairs to the studio 's old piano , trying to work out a bridge , when Johnny and Mark walked in the door , and he asked for their help to complete his song . The trio thought that the song was finished and at first could not come up with anything to add , but Wayne explained that Moman was insisting that a bridge be added . So between them , the two - line `` Tell me ... '' bridge was written . The song was passed to one of Elvis 's bodyguards , who gave Presley the cut from the studio . Moman did not produce Presley 's recording , but did record the Willie Nelson version years later .

Commemorating the tenth anniversary of Presley 's death , the programme featured various popular acts of the time performing cover versions of his hits . The Pet Shop Boys ' performance was so well - received that the duo decided to record the song and release it as a single . This version became the UK 's Christmas number one single that year . It went on to top the charts for four weeks in total , and reached number four on the US Billboard Hot 100 . The Pet Shop Boys version introduces a harmonic variation not present in the original version . In the original the ending phrase `` always on my mind '' is sung to a IV - V - I cadence ( C-D - G ) . The Pet Shop Boys extend this cadence by adding two further chords : C-D - Gm / B ♭ - C-G ( i.e. a progression of IV - V - III - IV - I ) . In November 2004 , The Daily Telegraph newspaper placed the version at number two in a list of the fifty greatest cover versions of all time . In October 2014 , a public poll compiled by the BBC saw the song voted the all - time best cover version . In the video for Pet Shop Boys ' version of `` Always on My Mind '' ( an excerpt from their surreal music film It Could n't Happen Here ) , Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe are seated in the front of a taxi cab , when an eccentric passenger gets in , played by notable British actor Joss Ackland . At the end of the song , he gets out of the car , which drives away . Standing alone , he mutters : `` You went away . It should make me feel better . But I do n't know how I 'm going to get through '' , which is part of the lyrics for another Pet Shop Boys track , `` What Have I Done to Deserve This ? '' , which was released earlier in the year . In 1988 , the duo remixed the song for their third studio LP , Introspective , combining it with an acid - house track called `` In My House '' .

Written and performed by Ben Gibbard , it is an acoustic solo ballad , and was recorded in monaural with a single microphone and little editing . The single was released on Atlantic Records , becoming one of Death Cab for Cutie 's lowest - charting singles , peaking number 28 on the Modern Rock Tracks , number 66 on the UK Singles Chart and failing to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 ; however , `` I Will Follow You into the Dark '' was certified as gold by the Recording Industry Association of America , and is the band 's best - selling single to - date . Despite charting lower than other singles , the single is still one of the band 's most played songs on commercial radio stations . The song 's popularity has led it to be featured in a various television shows and movies , and has been covered by numerous artists . Contents 1 Background 2 Recording 3 Music videos 4 Release 5 Reception 5.1 Critical reception 5.2 Commercial reception 6 Usage in the media 7 Chart positions 8 Cover versions 9 References 10 External links Background ( edit ) The song was written entirely by Death Cab for Cutie 's lead singer and guitarist Ben Gibbard . Nearing age 29 , Gibbard had never lost anyone really special in his life . Growing older during an ideal and comfortable time of his life led him to begin obsessing over death , the afterlife , and the weight of his relationships . He started to take stock of the importance of the people in his life and felt a need to say something about it , writing the song to deal with his problems of focusing on life by expanding his scope to include death and what comes afterward . `` It 's just this idea that what if somebody dies and we 're just floating , just stumbling around in infinite darkness , and I 'm just trying to find some kind of spiritual kind of peace with myself , and the world . '' -- Ben Gibbard Recording ( edit ) Originally planned to be recorded later in the sessions for Plans , technical issues arose with one set of headphones while tracking the vocals for a different song . Producer and guitarist Chris Walla told Gibbard to take a break while the issues were being addressed . Gibbard picked up his guitar and began playing `` I Will Follow You into the Dark '' , which was still going through the vocal microphone . Walla was impressed by the sound , leading him to suggest they do a quick tracking of the performance . It was this mono recording , with the only editing being mild compression and de-essing , that was eventually featured on the album and released as a single . Due to the impromptu nature of the recording , the vocals on the track are mixed louder than the guitar , and Gibbard 's breathing can be heard at the start of the song . Music videos ( edit ) In this screenshot of the main music video , Ben Gibbard plays his guitar in a sparse room while the ever - widening hole in the floor dominates the foreground . Two music videos were created for `` I Will Follow You into the Dark '' : The main music video , filmed in Romania and directed by Jamie Thraves , features Ben Gibbard in a small sparsely decorated apartment , playing the song while sitting on his bed when he notices a hole in the wooden floor . Gibbard goes about daily activities while avoiding the constantly expanding hole , eventually rolling out of bed into it , hanging on by his fingertips . He finally lets go , only to land unharmed on solid ground within the void about as deep as his height . The song ends with Gibbard walking into the darkness , then pans to show the entire room again with the floor restored to its original , intact state . An alternative video , directed by Monkmus , appears on the Death Cab for Cutie 's DVD Directions : The Plans Video Album . In this video , a picture - book takes up the center of the video frame , and the pages turn as the song progresses . Within the book , two rabbits meet and fall in love . Time passes until one of the rabbits apparently dies . There are other references to death throughout the video , such as a rotten bowl of fruit and an elderly man who appears to die , leaving his grandson behind . The video ends with a picture of the two rabbits together , presumably in eternal happiness together . Release ( edit ) `` I Will Follow You into the Dark '' has two separate United Kingdom - exclusive , colored vinyl 7 '' releases with B - sides recorded as part of the band 's Rolling Stone originals session . The part - one release is printed on teal vinyl with `` Photobooth '' from The Forbidden Love EP as the B - side , and the part - two release is printed on clear orange vinyl with a B - side of `` Brothers on a Hotel Bed '' . The CD single was also only released in the UK and contains the same `` Brothers on a Hotel Bed '' B - side . Reception ( edit ) Critical reception ( edit ) Critical response to `` I Will Follow You into the Dark '' was generally positive . In their reviews for the album Plans , Robert Christgau selected the song as his `` choice cut '' , Pitchfork Media called it the album 's `` quiet centerpiece '' and praised its `` unexpected turns of phrase '' , PopMatters called it `` one of the best written pop songs of the year -- if not of the past five years '' , and Tiny Mix Tapes stated that it was `` one of the band 's best songs to date . '' Rolling Stone however , said that the song `` demonstrates how wise Gibbard is to let the band mess with his pristine melodies , which would sound wispy and ignorable on their own . '' The song was nominated for the 2007 Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals , but lost to `` My Humps '' by The Black Eyed Peas . By being nominated in this category , instead of for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance , it credited the entire band for Gibbard 's solo performance . Commercial reception ( edit ) The song achieved gold certification from the Recording Industry Association of America in December 2009 , for over 500,000 sales . `` I Will Follow You into the Dark '' became Death Cab for Cutie 's best - selling single to date , and their overall second best - selling release after the album Plans itself . Usage in the Media ( edit ) `` I Will Follow You into the Dark '' was featured on the soundtrack of the 2007 film The Invisible , a remake of the 2002 Swedish film Den Osynlige . In 2008 it was featured in the television series 90210 , in the episode `` That Which We Destroy '' . The song was featured in the sitcom Scrubs , in the season eight episode entitled `` My Last Words '' , first broadcast in January 2009 . The same year it was also the title of an episode of Grey 's Anatomy in the fifth season , originally airing in March 2009 . It was used in the 2011 Nikita episode `` Into the Dark '' ( of which it was also the namesake ) , and was also used in the film Friends With Benefits the same year . An instrumental version of the song was featured in the 2011 film Crazy , Stupid , Love . The song was also used for the end credits of Mike Birbiglia 's Netflix comedy special My Girlfriend 's Boyfriend . The 2012 film Into the Dark , originally titled I Will Follow You Into the Dark , derives its name from the song . The book series , `` ghostgirl '' , references the song in the books . A parody of the song , entitled `` I Will Follow You into the Abyss of Death '' , is featured in the 2007 film Alvin and the Chipmunks . In the movie , protagonist Dave Seville ( Jason Lee ) pitches the tune to record company executive Ian Hawke ( David Cross ) , who pans it after hearing only a few seconds , and then encourages Seville to abandon his songwriting career . Chart positions ( edit ) Chart ( 2006 ) Peak position UK Singles Chart 66 U.S. Billboard Hot Adult Top 40 Tracks 34 U.S. Billboard Hot Modern Rock Tracks 28 Cover versions ( edit ) Amanda Palmer of The Dresden Dolls recorded a cover of the song during the recording sessions for Who Killed Amanda Palmer .

what is the penalty for possession of alcohol by a minor
Minor in possession - wikipedia Minor in possession Jump to : navigation , search This article needs additional citations for verification . Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( August 2007 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) In the United States , a Minor in Possession , or a MIP , ( also referred to as a PAULA , Possession of Alcohol Under the Legal Age ) is a criminal offense , typically a misdemeanor . In California , depending on the county in which the person is charged , the crime may also be charged as an infraction . Anyone who is under the age of 21 and possesses alcohol in the United States , with the exception of special circumstances , is violating the law of the state . The term `` Minor in Possession '' is a misnomer , as except for residents of Mississippi and 18 - year - old residents of Alabama and Nebraska , Americans between 18 and 20 years old are not minors . Punishments ( edit ) Punishments for minors in possession vary greatly from state - to - state . Since alcohol enforcement ( and the establishment of drinking ages ) is the responsibility of the individual states , only local and state agencies can legally write a minors in possession citation . As such , each state levies its own fines and punishments for a minors in possession . In some states , a simple first - time minors in possession without any other circumstances ( such as driving or public intoxication ) may only involve a fine of $100 -- 200 . Often fines are reduced or eliminated provided the person convicted completes a program such as alcohol education , probation , or community service . In some states , a fine is eliminated , supplemented or accompanied with a loss of the accused driver license for a period of time ranging from 30 days to 12 months . For example , violation of California 's Business & Professions Code Section 25662 , regarding persons under 21 in possession of alcohol , carries a punishment of $250 and a mandatory revocation of driving privileges for one year in accordance with Vehicle Code Section 13202.5 . Subsequent offenses or a person with a preexisting criminal record may frequently receive a full fine , or in some extreme cases , several days in jail . In many cases a third MIP may result in a loss of the accused driver 's license until the age of 21 . In Washington State , the statutes impose that : providing to and possession of alcohol by minors ( persons under 21 ) is a gross misdemeanor with a potential of $5,000 and a year in jail . Washington State 's law does not apply to liquor given or permitted to be given to a person under the age of twenty - one years by a parent or guardian and consumed in the presence of the parent or guardian . Additionally , this RCW does not authorize consumption or possession of liquor by a person under the age of twenty - one years on any premises licensed by the state , such as a bar or restaurant . Also , A person under the age of twenty - one years who experiences alcohol poisoning and is in need of medical assistance shall not be charged or prosecuted under subsection ( 2 ) ( a ) of this section , if the evidence for the charge was obtained as a result of the poisoning and need for medical assistance .

which item is the best example of propaganda course hero
Propaganda techniques - wikipedia Propaganda techniques Jump to : navigation , search See also : Doublespeak , Cult of personality , Spin ( politics ) , Demonization , Factoid , Outline of public relations , and List of cognitive biases Anti-capitalist propaganda Common media for transmitting propaganda messages include news reports , government reports , historical revision , junk science , books , leaflets , movies , social media , radio , television , and posters . Less common nowadays are letter post envelopes , examples of which have survived from the time of the American Civil War . ( Connecticut Historical Society ; Civil War Collections ; Covers . ) In the case of radio and television , propaganda can exist on news , current - affairs or talk - show segments , as advertising or public - service announcement `` spots '' or as long - running advertorials . Propaganda campaigns often follow a strategic transmission pattern to indoctrinate the target group . This may begin with a simple transmission such as a leaflet dropped from a plane or an advertisement . Generally these messages will contain directions on how to obtain more information , via a web site , hot line , radio program , etc . The strategy intends to initiate the individual from information recipient to information seeker through reinforcement , and then from information seeker to opinion leader through indoctrination . A number of techniques based in social psychological research are used to generate propaganda . Many of these same techniques can be found under logical fallacies , since propagandists use arguments that , while sometimes convincing , are not necessarily valid . Information dissemination strategies only become propaganda strategies when coupled with propagandistic messages . Identifying these messages is a necessary prerequisite to study the methods by which those messages are spread . `` Comrade Lenin Cleanses the Earth of Filth '' by Viktor Deni . November 1920 Propaganda to urge immigrants to move to California , 1876 Specific techniques ( edit ) Scholars have identified many standard techniques used in propaganda and persuasion . Ad hominem A Latin phrase that has come to mean attacking one 's opponent , as opposed to attacking their arguments . Ad nauseam This uses tireless repetition of an idea . An idea , especially a simple slogan , that is repeated enough times , may begin to be taken as the truth . This approach is more effective alongside the propagandist limiting or controlling the media . Appeal to authority Appeals to authority cite prominent figures to support a position , idea , argument , or course of action . Appeal to fear Appeals to fear seek to build support by instilling anxieties and panic in the general population , for example , Joseph Goebbels exploited Theodore Kaufman 's Germany Must Perish ! to claim that the Allies sought the extermination of the German people . Appeal to prejudice Using loaded or emotive terms to attach value or moral goodness to believing the proposition . Bandwagon Bandwagon and `` inevitable - victory '' appeals attempt to persuade the target audience to join in and take the course of action that `` everyone else is taking . '' Inevitable victory : invites those not already on the bandwagon to join those already on the road to certain victory . Those already or at least partially on the bandwagon are reassured that staying aboard is their best course of action . ( e.g. , `` The debate is over . Nearly everyone who matters agrees with me . '' ) Join the crowd : This technique reinforces people 's natural desire to be on the winning side . This technique is used to convince the audience that a program is an expression of an irresistible mass movement and that it is in their best interest to join . `` Getting What He Deserves '' American anti-Catholic cartoon from Heroes of the Fiery Cross 1928 . Beautiful people The type of propaganda that deals with famous people or depicts attractive , happy people . This suggests if people buy a product or follow a certain ideology , they too will be happy or successful . ( This is used more in advertising for products , instead of political reasons . ) Usually for advertising rather than political purposes , sexual arousal may also be used . For example , a message promoting a brand of motorcycles to a male target audience may also include sexually attractive bikini - clad women within the advertisement , to make the product more appealing to the audience by targeting sexual desires . However , some evidence suggests that using sexual appeal to sell a product may not succeed , as the target audience may focus too much on the sexually appealing people in the advertisement rather than the product itself . Big Lie The repeated articulation of a complex of events that justify subsequent action . The descriptions of these events have elements of truth , and the `` big lie '' generalizations merge and eventually supplant the public 's accurate perception of the underlying events . After World War I the German stab in the back explanation of the cause of their defeat became a justification for Nazi re-militarization and revanchism . Black - and - white fallacy Presenting only two choices , with the product or idea being propagated as the better choice . ( e.g. , `` You 're either with us , or against us ... '' ) Cherry picking ( fallacy ) or Selective truth Richard Crossman , the British Deputy Director of Psychological Warfare Division ( PWD ) for the Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force ( SHAEF ) during the Second World War said `` In propaganda truth pays ... It is a complete delusion to think of the brilliant propagandist as being a professional liar . The brilliant propagandist is the man who tells the truth , or that selection of the truth which is requisite for his purpose , and tells it in such a way that the recipient does not think he is receiving any propaganda ... ( ... ) The art of propaganda is not telling lies , but rather selecting the truth you require and giving it mixed up with some truths the audience wants to hear . '' Classical conditioning All vertebrates , including humans , respond to classical conditioning . That is , if A is always present when B is present and B causes a physical reaction ( e.g. disgust , pleasure ) , then when presented with object A in the absence of B , that same reaction will be experienced . Cognitive dissonance People desire to be consistent . Suppose a pollster finds that a certain group of people hates his candidate for senator but loves actor A. They use actor A 's endorsement of their candidate to change people 's minds because people can not tolerate inconsistency . They are forced to either dislike the actor or like the candidate . Common man The `` plain folks '' or `` common man '' approach attempts to convince the audience that the propagandist 's positions reflect the common sense of the people . It is designed to win the confidence of the audience by communicating in the common manner and style of the target audience . Propagandists use ordinary language and mannerisms ( and clothe their message in face - to - face and audiovisual communications ) in attempting to identify their point of view with that of the average person . A common example of this type of propaganda is a political figure , usually running for a placement , in a backyard or shop doing daily routine things . This image appeals to the common person . With the plain folks device , the propagandist can win the confidence of persons who resent or distrust foreign sounding , intellectual speech , words , or mannerisms . '' For example , a politician speaking to a Southern United States crowd might incorporate words such as `` Y'all '' and other colloquialisms to create a perception of belonging . Cult of personality A cult of personality arises when an individual uses mass media to create an idealized and heroic public image , often through unquestioning flattery and praise . The hero personality then advocates the positions that the propagandist desires to promote . For example , modern propagandists hire popular personalities to promote their ideas and / or products . Demonizing the enemy Making individuals from the opposing nation , from a different ethnic group , or those who support the opposing viewpoint appear to be subhuman ( e.g. , the Vietnam War - era term `` gooks '' for National Front for the Liberation of South Vietnam aka Vietcong , or `` VC '' , soldiers ) , worthless , or immoral , through suggestion or false accusations . Dehumanizing is also a term used synonymously with demonizing , the latter usually serves as an aspect of the former . World War I poster by Winsor McCay , urging Americans to buy Liberty Bonds Demoralization Propaganda towards an adversary to erode fighting spirit , and encourage surrender or defection . Dictat This technique hopes to simplify the decision making process by using images and words to tell the audience exactly what actions to take , eliminating any other possible choices . Authority figures can be used to give the order , overlapping it with the appeal to authority technique , but not necessarily . The Uncle Sam `` I want you '' image is an example of this technique . Disinformation The creation or deletion of information from public records , in the purpose of making a false record of an event or the actions of a person or organization , including outright forgery of photographs , motion pictures , broadcasts , and sound recordings as well as printed documents . Door - in - the - face technique Is used to increase a person 's latitude of acceptance . For example , if a salesperson wants to sell an item for $100 but the public is only willing to pay $50 , the salesperson first offers the item at a higher price ( e.g. , $200 ) and subsequently reduces the price to $100 to make it seem like a good deal . Euphemism A euphemism is a generally innocuous word or expression used in place of one that may be found offensive or suggest something unpleasant . Euphoria The use of an event that generates euphoria or happiness , or using an appealing event to boost morale . Euphoria can be created by declaring a holiday , making luxury items available , or mounting a military parade with marching bands and patriotic messages . Exaggeration An exaggeration ( or hyperbole ) occurs when the most fundamental aspects of a statement are true , but only to a certain degree . It is also seen as `` stretching the truth '' or making something appear more powerful , meaningful , or real than it actually is . Saying that a person ate 20 spring rolls at a party when they actually ate 7 or 8 would be considered an exaggeration . False accusations False accusations can be in any of the following contexts : Informally in everyday life . Quasi-judicially Judicially . Fear , uncertainty , and doubt An attempt to influence public perception by disseminating negative and dubious / false information designed to undermine the credibility of their beliefs . Flag - waving An attempt to justify an action on the grounds that doing so will make one more patriotic , or in some way benefit a group , country , or idea . The feeling of patriotism this technique attempts to inspire may not necessarily diminish or entirely omit one 's capability for rational examination of the matter in question . The Finnish Maiden - personification of Finnish nationalism Foot - in - the - door technique Often used by recruiters and salesmen . For example , a member of the opposite sex walks up to the victim and pins a flower or gives a small gift to the victim . The victim says thanks and now they have incurred a psychological debt to the perpetrator . The person eventually asks for a larger favor ( e.g. , a donation or to buy something far more expensive ) . The unwritten social contract between the victim and perpetrator causes the victim to feel obligated to reciprocate by agreeing to do the larger favor or buy the more expensive gift . Framing ( social sciences ) Framing is the social construction of a social phenomenon often by mass media sources , political or social movements , political leaders , or other actors and organizations . It is an inevitable process of selective influence over the individual 's perception of the meanings attributed to words or phrases . Gaslighting Using persistent denial , misdirection , contradiction , and lying to sow seeds of doubt in a target individual or group , hoping to make them question their own memory , perception , sanity , and norms . Gish Gallop Bombarding a political opponent with obnoxiously complex questions in rapid fire during a debate to make the opponent appear to not know what they are talking about . Glittering generalities Glittering generalities are emotionally appealing words that are applied to a product or idea , but present no concrete argument or analysis . This technique has also been referred to as the PT Barnum effect . ( e.g. , the advertising campaign slogan `` Ford has a better idea ! '' ) Guilt by association or Reductio ad Hitlerum This technique is used to persuade a target audience to disapprove of an action or idea by suggesting that the idea is popular with groups hated , feared , or held in contempt by the target audience . Thus if a group that supports a certain policy is led to believe that undesirable , subversive , or contemptible people support the same policy , then the members of the group may decide to change their original position . This is a form of bad logic , where A is said to include X , and B is said to include X , therefore , A = B . Half - truth A half - truth is a deceptive statement that includes some element of truth . It comes in several forms : the statement might be partly true , the statement may be totally true but only part of the whole truth , or it may utilize some deceptive element , such as improper punctuation , or double meaning , especially if the intent is to deceive , evade , blame , or misrepresent the truth . Intentional vagueness Generalities are deliberately vague so that the audience may supply its own interpretations . The intention is to move the audience by use of undefined phrases , without analyzing their validity or attempting to determine their reasonableness or application . The intent is to cause people to draw their own interpretations rather than simply being presented with an explicit idea . In trying to `` figure out '' the propaganda , the audience forgoes judgment of the ideas presented . Their validity , reasonableness and application may still be considered . Labeling A euphemism is used when the propagandist attempts to increase the perceived quality , credibility , or credence of a particular ideal . A dysphemism is used when the intent of the propagandist is to discredit , diminish the perceived quality , or hurt the perceived righteousness of the individual . By creating a `` label '' , `` category '' , or `` faction '' of a population , it is much easier to make an example of these larger bodies , because they can uplift or defame the individual without actually incurring legal - defamation . Labeling can be thought of as a sub-set of guilt by association , another logical fallacy . Latitudes of acceptance If a person 's message is outside the bounds of acceptance for an individual and group , most techniques will engender psychological reactance ( simply hearing the argument will make the message even less acceptable ) . There are two techniques for increasing the bounds of acceptance . First , one can take a more even extreme position that will make more moderate positions seem more acceptable . This is similar to the door - in - the - face technique . Alternatively , one can moderate one 's own position to the edge of the latitude of acceptance and then over time slowly move to the position that was previously . `` The Conquest or Arrival of Hernán Cortés in Veracruz '' , 1951 , National Palace , Mexico City . Diego Rivera 's political murals depict a modern interpretation of the Black Legend . Loaded language Specific words and phrases with strong emotional implications are used to influence the audience , for example , using the word reforms rather than a more neutral word like changes . Love bombing See also : Milieu control Used to recruit members to a cult or ideology by having a group of individuals cut off a person from their existing social support and replace it entirely with members of the group who deliberately bombard the person with affection in an attempt to isolate the person from their prior beliefs and value system . Lying and deception Lying and deception can be the basis of many propaganda techniques including Ad Homimen arguments , Big - Lie , Defamation , Door - in - the - Face , Half - truth , Name - calling or any other technique that is based on dishonesty or deception . For example , many politicians have been found to frequently stretch or break the truth . Managing the news According to Adolf Hitler , `` The most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly - it must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over . '' This idea is consistent with the principle of classical conditioning as well as the idea of `` Staying on Message . '' Anti-Muslim propaganda in Germany produced during the Ottoman wars in Europe , 16th century Milieu control An attempt to control the social environment and ideas through the use of social pressure Minimisation Minimisation is the opposite of exaggeration . It is a type of deception involving denial coupled with rationalization in situations where complete denial is implausible . Name - calling Propagandists use the name - calling technique to incite fears and arouse prejudices in their hearers in the intent that the bad names will cause hearers to construct a negative opinion about a group or set of beliefs or ideas that the propagandist wants hearers to denounce . The method is intended to provoke conclusions about a matter apart from impartial examinations of facts . Name - calling is thus a substitute for rational , fact - based arguments against an idea or belief on its own merits . Non sequitur A type of logical fallacy , in which a conclusion is made out of an argument that does not justify it . All invalid arguments can be considered as special cases of non sequitur . Obfuscation , intentional vagueness , confusion Generalities are deliberately vague so that the audience may supply its own interpretations . The intention is to move the audience by use of undefined phrases , without analyzing their validity or attempting to determine their reasonableness or application . The intent is to cause people to draw their own interpretations rather than simply being presented with an explicit idea . In trying to `` figure out '' the propaganda , the audience forgoes judgment of the ideas presented . Their validity , reasonableness and application may still be considered . Operant conditioning Operant conditioning involves learning through imitation . For example , watching an appealing person buy products or endorse positions teaches a person to buy the product or endorse the position . Operant conditioning is the underlying principle behind the ad nauseam , slogan and other repetition public relations campaigns . Oversimplification Favorable generalities are used to provide simple answers to complex social , political , economic , or military problems . Illustration by Rev. Branford Clarke from Heroes of the Fiery Cross by Bishop Alma White published by the Pillar of Fire Church 1928 in Zarephath , NJ Pensée unique Enforced reduction of discussion by use of overly simplistic phrases or arguments ( e.g. , `` There is no alternative to war . '' ) Quotes out of context Selective editing of quotes that can change meanings . Political documentaries designed to discredit an opponent or an opposing political viewpoint often use this technique . Rationalization Individuals or groups may use favorable generalities to rationalize questionable acts or beliefs . Vague and pleasant phrases are often used to justify such actions or beliefs . Red herring Presenting data or issues that , while compelling , are irrelevant to the argument at hand , and then claiming that it validates the argument . Repetition This is the repeating of a certain symbol or slogan so that the audience remembers it . This could be in the form of a jingle or an image placed on nearly everything in the picture / scene . This also includes using subliminal phrases , images or other content in a piece of propaganda . Scapegoating Assigning blame to an individual or group , thus alleviating feelings of guilt from responsible parties and / or distracting attention from the need to fix the problem for which blame is being assigned . Nationalist slogan `` Brazil , love it or leave it '' , often used during the Brazilian military dictatorship ( 1964 -- 1985 ) Slogans A slogan is a brief , striking phrase that may include labeling and stereotyping . Although slogans may be enlisted to support reasoned ideas , in practice they tend to act only as emotional appeals . Opponents of the US 's invasion and occupation of Iraq use the slogan `` blood for oil '' to suggest that the invasion and its human losses was done to access Iraq 's oil riches . On the other hand , supporters who argue that the US should continue to fight in Iraq use the slogan `` cut and run '' to suggest withdrawal is cowardly or weak . Similarly , the names of the military campaigns , such as `` enduring freedom '' or `` just cause '' can also be considered slogans , devised to influence people . Smears A smear is an effort to damage or call into question someone 's reputation , by propounding negative propaganda . It can be applied to individuals or groups . Stereotyping , name calling or labeling This technique attempts to arouse prejudices in an audience by labeling the object of the propaganda campaign as something the target audience fears , hates , loathes , or finds undesirable . For instance , reporting on a foreign country or social group may focus on the stereotypical traits that the reader expects , even though they are far from being representative of the whole country or group ; such reporting often focuses on the anecdotal . In graphic propaganda , including war posters , this might include portraying enemies with stereotyped racial features . Straw man A straw man argument is an informal fallacy based on misrepresentation of an opponent 's position . To `` attack a straw man '' is to create the illusion of having refuted a proposition by substituting a superficially similar proposition ( the `` straw man '' ) , and refuting it , without ever having actually refuted the original position . Testimonial See also : Damaging quotation Testimonials are quotations , in or out of context , especially cited to support or reject a given policy , action , program , or personality . The reputation or the role ( expert , respected public figure , etc . ) of the individual giving the statement is exploited . The testimonial places the official sanction of a respected person or authority on a propaganda message . This is done in an effort to cause the target audience to identify itself with the authority or to accept the authority 's opinions and beliefs as its own . `` The Bulgarian Martyresses '' , 1877 painting by the Russian painter Konstantin Makovsky depicting the rape of Bulgarian women by Ottoman troops during the suppression of the April Uprising a year earlier , served to mobilize public support for the Russo - Turkish War ( 1877 -- 1878 ) waged with the proclaimed aim of liberating the Bulgarians . Third party technique See also : Soft power Works on the principle that people are more willing to accept an argument from a seemingly independent source of information than from someone with a stake in the outcome . It is a marketing strategy commonly employed by Public Relations ( PR ) firms , that involves placing a premeditated message in the `` mouth of the media . '' The third party technique can take many forms , ranging from the hiring of journalists to report the organization in a favorable light , to using scientists within the organization to present their perhaps prejudicial findings to the public . Frequently , astroturf groups or front groups are used to deliver the message . Thought - terminating cliché A commonly used phrase , sometimes passing as folk wisdom , used to quell cognitive dissonance . Transfer Also known as association , this is a technique of projecting positive or negative qualities ( praise or blame ) of a person , entity , object , or value onto another to make the second more acceptable or to discredit it . It evokes an emotional response , which stimulates the target to identify with recognized authorities . Often highly visual , this technique often utilizes symbols ( for example , the swastikas used in Nazi Germany , originally a symbol for health and prosperity ) superimposed over other visual images . Unstated assumption This technique is used when the propaganda concept would seem less credible if explicitly stated . The concept is instead repeatedly assumed or implied . Virtue words See also : Transfer ( propaganda ) These are words in the value system of the target audience that produce a positive image when attached to a person or issue . Peace , hope , happiness , security , wise leadership , freedom , `` The Truth '' , etc. are virtue words . Many see religiosity as a virtue , making associations to this quality effectively beneficial . Whataboutism Whataboutism is a variant of the tu quoque logical fallacy that attempts to discredit an opponent 's position by charging them with hypocrisy without directly refuting or disproving their argument , which is particularly associated with Soviet and Russian propaganda . When criticisms were leveled at the Soviet Union , the Soviet response would be `` What about ... '' followed by an event in the Western world . References ( edit ) Jump up ^ Garth S.

what is the name of the dance done at easter
Easter - wikipedia Easter This article is about the Christian and cultural festival . For other uses , see Easter ( disambiguation ) . Festival <Th_colspan="2"> Easter <Td_colspan="2"> Icon of the Resurrection , with Christ having kicked down the gates of Hades and pulling Adam and Eve out of the tombs . Christ is flanked by saints , and Satan -- depicted as an old man -- is bound and chained . ( See Resurrection of Jesus in Christian art . ) Type Christian , cultural Significance Celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Celebrations Church services , festive family meals , Easter egg decoration , and gift - giving Observances Prayer , all - night vigil , sunrise service Date variable , variable , date of Easter 2017 date 16 April ( Western ) 16 April ( Eastern ) 2018 date 1 April ( Western ) 8 April ( Eastern ) 2019 date 21 April ( Western ) 28 April ( Eastern ) 2020 date 12 April ( Western ) 19 April ( Eastern ) Related to Passover , of which it is regarded the Christian fulfillment ; Septuagesima , Sexagesima , Quinquagesima , Shrove Tuesday , Ash Wednesday , Clean Monday , Lent , Great Lent , Palm Sunday , Holy Week , Maundy Thursday , Good Friday , and Holy Saturday which lead up to Easter ; and Thomas Sunday , Ascension , Pentecost , Trinity Sunday , and Corpus Christi which follow it . Easter , also called Pascha ( Greek , Latin ) or Resurrection Sunday , is a festival and holiday celebrating the resurrection of Jesus from the dead , described in the New Testament as having occurred on the third day of his burial after his crucifixion by the Romans at Calvary c. 30 AD . It is the culmination of the Passion of Jesus , preceded by Lent ( or Great Lent ) , a forty - day period of fasting , prayer , and penance . Most Christians refer to the week before Easter as `` Holy Week '' -- it contains the days of the Easter Triduum , including Maundy Thursday , commemorating the Maundy and Last Supper , as well as Good Friday , commemorating the crucifixion and death of Jesus . In Western Christianity , Eastertide , or the Easter Season , begins on Easter Sunday and lasts seven weeks , ending with the coming of the fiftieth day , Pentecost Sunday . In Eastern Christianity , the season of Pascha begins on Pascha and ends with the coming of the fortieth day , the Feast of the Ascension . Easter and the holidays that are related to it are moveable feasts which do not fall on a fixed date in the Gregorian or Julian calendars which follow only the cycle of the sun ; rather , its date is determined on a lunisolar calendar similar to the Hebrew calendar . The First Council of Nicaea ( 325 ) established two rules , independence of the Jewish calendar and worldwide uniformity , which were the only rules for Easter explicitly laid down by the council . No details for the computation were specified ; these were worked out in practice , a process that took centuries and generated a number of controversies . It has come to be the first Sunday after the ecclesiastical full moon that occurs on or soonest after 21 March , but calculations vary . Easter is linked to the Jewish Passover by much of its symbolism , as well as by its position in the calendar . In most European languages the feast called Easter in English is termed by the words for passover in those languages and in the older English versions of the Bible the term Easter was the term used to translate passover . Easter customs vary across the Christian world , and include sunrise services , exclaiming the Paschal greeting , clipping the church , and decorating Easter eggs ( symbols of the empty tomb ) . The Easter lily , a symbol of the resurrection , traditionally decorates the chancel area of churches on this day and for the rest of Eastertide . Additional customs that have become associated with Easter and are observed by both Christians and some non-Christians include egg hunting , the Easter Bunny , and Easter parades . There are also various traditional Easter foods that vary regionally .

The most widely accepted theory of the origin of the term is that it is derived from the name of an Old English goddess mentioned by the 7th to 8th - century English monk Bede , who wrote that Ēosturmōnaþ ( Old English ' Month of Ēostre ' , translated in Bede 's time as `` Paschal month '' ) was an English month , corresponding to April , which he says `` was once called after a goddess of theirs named Ēostre , in whose honour feasts were celebrated in that month '' . In Latin and Greek , the Christian celebration was , and still is , called Pascha ( Greek : Πάσχα ) , a word derived from Aramaic פסחא ( Paskha ) , cognate to Hebrew פֶּסַח ( Pesach ) . The word originally denoted the Jewish festival known in English as Passover , commemorating the Jewish Exodus from slavery in Egypt . As early as the 50s of the 1st century , Paul , writing from Ephesus to the Christians in Corinth , applied the term to Christ , and it is unlikely that the Ephesian and Corinthian Christians were the first to hear Exodus 12 interpreted as speaking about the death of Jesus , not just about the Jewish Passover ritual . In most of the non-English speaking world , the feast is known by names derived from Greek and Latin Pascha . Pascha is also a name by which Jesus himself is remembered in the Orthodox Church , especially in connection with his resurrection and with the season of its celebration . Theological significance One of the earliest known depictions of the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus ( Rabbula Gospel illuminated manuscript , 6th century ) The New Testament states that the resurrection of Jesus , which Easter celebrates , is a foundation of the Christian faith . The resurrection established Jesus as the powerful Son of God and is cited as proof that God will judge the world in righteousness . For those who trust in Jesus ' death and resurrection , `` death is swallowed up in victory . '' Any person who chooses to follow Jesus receives `` a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead '' . Through faith in the working of God those who follow Jesus are spiritually resurrected with him so that they may walk in a new way of life and receive eternal salvation . Easter is linked to Passover and the Exodus from Egypt recorded in the Old Testament through the Last Supper , sufferings , and crucifixion of Jesus that preceded the resurrection . According to the New Testament , Jesus gave the Passover meal a new meaning , as in the upper room during the Last Supper he prepared himself and his disciples for his death . He identified the matzah and cup of wine as his body soon to be sacrificed and his blood soon to be shed . Paul states , `` Get rid of the old yeast that you may be a new batch without yeast -- as you really are . For Christ , our Passover lamb , has been sacrificed '' ; this refers to the Passover requirement to have no yeast in the house and to the allegory of Jesus as the Paschal lamb . One interpretation of the Gospel of John is that Jesus , as the Passover lamb , was crucified at roughly the same time as the Passover lambs were being slain in the temple , on the afternoon of Nisan 14 . The scriptural instructions specify that the lamb is to be slain `` between the two evenings '' , that is , at twilight . By the Roman period , however , the sacrifices were performed in the mid-afternoon . Josephus , Jewish War 6.10. 1 / 423 ( `` They sacrifice from the ninth to the eleventh hour '' ) . Philo , Special Laws 2.27 / 145 ( `` Many myriads of victims from noon till eventide are offered by the whole people '' ) . This interpretation , however , is inconsistent with the chronology in the Synoptic Gospels . It assumes that text literally translated `` the preparation of the passover '' in John 19 : 14 refers to Nisan 14 ( Preparation Day for the Passover ) and not necessarily to Yom Shishi ( Friday , Preparation Day for the Passover week Sabbath ) and that the priests ' desire to be ritually pure in order to `` eat the passover '' refers to eating the Passover lamb , not to the public offerings made during the days of Unleavened Bread . Early Christianity The Last Supper celebrated by Jesus and his disciples . The early Christians , too , would have celebrated this meal to commemorate Jesus ' death and subsequent resurrection . The first Christians , Jewish and Gentile , were certainly aware of the Hebrew calendar . Jewish Christians , the first to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus , timed the observance in relation to Passover . Direct evidence for a more fully formed Christian festival of Pascha ( Easter ) begins to appear in the mid-2nd century . Perhaps the earliest extant primary source referring to Easter is a mid-2nd - century Paschal homily attributed to Melito of Sardis , which characterizes the celebration as a well - established one . Evidence for another kind of annual Christian festival , the commemoration of martyrs , begins to appear at about the same time as evidence for the celebration of Easter . While martyrs ' days ( usually the individual dates of martyrdom ) were celebrated on fixed dates in the local solar calendar , the date of Easter was fixed by means of the local Jewish lunisolar calendar . This is consistent with the celebration of Easter having entered Christianity during its earliest , Jewish , period , but does not leave the question free of doubt . The ecclesiastical historian Socrates Scholasticus attributes the observance of Easter by the church to the perpetuation of its custom , `` just as many other customs have been established '' , stating that neither Jesus nor his Apostles enjoined the keeping of this or any other festival . Although he describes the details of the Easter celebration as deriving from local custom , he insists the feast itself is universally observed . Date A stained - glass window depicting the Passover Lamb , a concept integral to the foundation of Easter Easter and the holidays that are related to it are moveable feasts , in that they do not fall on a fixed date in the Gregorian or Julian calendars ( both of which follow the cycle of the sun and the seasons ) . Instead , the date for Easter is determined on a lunisolar calendar similar to the Hebrew calendar . The First Council of Nicaea ( 325 ) established two rules , independence of the Jewish calendar and worldwide uniformity , which were the only rules for Easter explicitly laid down by the Council . No details for the computation were specified ; these were worked out in practice , a process that took centuries and generated a number of controversies . ( See also Computus and Reform of the date of Easter . ) In particular , the Council did not decree that Easter must fall on Sunday . This was already the practice almost everywhere . In Western Christianity , using the Gregorian calendar , Easter always falls on a Sunday between 22 March and 25 April inclusive , within about seven days after the astronomical full moon . The following day , Easter Monday , is a legal holiday in many countries with predominantly Christian traditions . Eastern Christianity bases its calculations on the Julian Calendar . Because of the 13 - day difference between the calendars between 1900 and 2099 , 21 March corresponds , during the 21st century , to 3 April in the Gregorian Calendar . Easter therefore varies between 4 April and 8 May in the Gregorian calendar ( the Julian calendar is no longer used as the civil calendar of the countries where Eastern Christian traditions predominate ) . Also , because the Julian `` full moon '' is always several days after the astronomical full moon , the eastern Easter is often later , relative to the visible moon 's phases , than western Easter . Among the Oriental Orthodox some churches have changed from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar and the date for Easter as for other fixed and moveable feasts is the same as in the Western church . Computations Main article : Computus In 725 , Bede succinctly wrote , `` The Sunday following the full Moon which falls on or after the equinox will give the lawful Easter . '' However , this does not precisely reflect the ecclesiastical rules . The full moon referred to ( called the Paschal full moon ) is not an astronomical full moon , but the 14th day of a lunar month . Another difference is that the astronomical equinox is a natural astronomical phenomenon , which can fall on 19 , 20 or 21 March , while the ecclesiastical date is fixed by convention on 21 March . In applying the ecclesiastical rules , Christian churches use 21 March as the starting point in determining the date of Easter , from which they find the next full moon , etc . The Eastern Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox Churches continue to use the Julian calendar . Their starting point in determining the date of Orthodox Easter is also 21 March but according to the Julian reckoning , which in the current century corresponds to 3 April in the Gregorian calendar . In addition , the lunar tables of the Julian calendar are four days ( sometimes five days ) behind those of the Gregorian calendar . The 14th day of the lunar month according to the Gregorian system is figured as the ninth or tenth day according to the Julian . The result of this combination of solar and lunar discrepancies is divergence in the date of Easter in most years ( see table ) . Easter is determined on the basis of lunisolar cycles . The lunar year consists of 30 - day and 29 - day lunar months , generally alternating , with an embolismic month added periodically to bring the lunar cycle into line with the solar cycle . In each solar year ( 1 January to 31 December inclusive ) , the lunar month beginning with an ecclesiastical new moon falling in the 29 - day period from 8 March to 5 April inclusive is designated as the paschal lunar month for that year . Easter is the third Sunday in the paschal lunar month , or , in other words , the Sunday after the paschal lunar month 's 14th day . The 14th of the paschal lunar month is designated by convention as the Paschal full moon , although the 14th of the lunar month may differ from the date of the astronomical full moon by up to two days . Since the ecclesiastical new moon falls on a date from 8 March to 5 April inclusive , the paschal full moon ( the 14th of that lunar month ) must fall on a date from 21 March to 18 April inclusive . The Gregorian calculation of Easter was based on a method devised by the Calabrian doctor Aloysius Lilius ( or Lilio ) for adjusting the epacts of the moon , and has been adopted by almost all Western Christians and by Western countries which celebrate national holidays at Easter . For the British Empire and colonies , a determination of the date of Easter Sunday using Golden Numbers and Sunday letters was defined by the Calendar ( New Style ) Act 1750 with its Annexe . This was designed to match exactly the Gregorian calculation . Controversies over the date Main article : Easter controversy A five - part Russian Orthodox icon depicting the Easter story . Eastern Orthodox Christians use a different computation for the date of Easter than the Western churches . The precise date of Easter has at times been a matter of contention . By the later 2nd century , it was widely accepted that the celebration of the holiday was a practice of the disciples and an undisputed tradition . The Quartodeciman controversy , the first of several Easter controversies , arose concerning the date on which the holiday should be celebrated . The term `` Quartodeciman '' refers to the practice of celebrating Easter on Nisan 14 of the Hebrew calendar , `` the LORD 's passover '' ( Leviticus 23 : 5 ) . According to the church historian Eusebius , the Quartodeciman Polycarp ( bishop of Smyrna , by tradition a disciple of John the Apostle ) debated the question with Anicetus ( bishop of Rome ) . The Roman province of Asia was Quartodeciman , while the Roman and Alexandrian churches continued the fast until the Sunday following ( the Sunday of Unleavened Bread ) , wishing to associate Easter with Sunday . Neither Polycarp nor Anicetus persuaded the other , but they did not consider the matter schismatic either , parting in peace and leaving the question unsettled . Controversy arose when Victor , bishop of Rome a generation after Anicetus , attempted to excommunicate Polycrates of Ephesus and all other bishops of Asia for their Quartodecimanism . According to Eusebius , a number of synods were convened to deal with the controversy , which he regarded as all ruling in support of Easter on Sunday . Polycrates ( circa 190 ) , however , wrote to Victor defending the antiquity of Asian Quartodecimanism . Victor 's attempted excommunication was apparently rescinded , and the two sides reconciled upon the intervention of bishop Irenaeus and others , who reminded Victor of the tolerant precedent of Anicetus . Quartodecimanism seems to have lingered into the 4th century , when Socrates of Constantinople recorded that some Quartodecimans were deprived of their churches by John Chrysostom and that some were harassed by Nestorius . It is not known how long the Nisan 14 practice continued . But both those who followed the Nisan 14 custom , and those who set Easter to the following Sunday had in common the custom of consulting their Jewish neighbors to learn when the month of Nisan would fall , and setting their festival accordingly . By the later 3rd century , however , some Christians began to express dissatisfaction with the custom of relying on the Jewish community to determine the date of Easter . The chief complaint was that the Jewish communities sometimes erred in setting Passover to fall before the Northern Hemisphere spring equinox . The Sardica paschal table confirms these complaints , for it indicates that the Jews of some eastern Mediterranean city ( possibly Antioch ) fixed Nisan 14 on dates well before the spring equinox on multiple occasions . Because of this dissatisfaction with reliance on the Jewish calendar , some Christians began to experiment with independent computations . Others , however , believed that the customary practice of consulting Jews should continue , even if the Jewish computations were in error . First Council of Nicaea ( 325 AD ) Main article : First Council of Nicaea This controversy between those who advocated independent computations , and those who wished to continue the custom of relying on the Jewish calendar , was formally resolved by the First Council of Nicaea in 325 , which endorsed changing to an independent computation by the Christian community in order to celebrate in common . This effectively required the abandonment of the old custom of consulting the Jewish community in those places where it was still used . Epiphanius of Salamis wrote in the mid-4th century : the emperor ... convened a council of 318 bishops ... in the city of Nicea ... They passed certain ecclesiastical canons at the council besides , and at the same time decreed in regard to the Passover that there must be one unanimous concord on the celebration of God 's holy and supremely excellent day . For it was variously observed by people That the older custom ( called `` protopaschite '' by historians ) did not at once die out , but persisted for a time , is indicated by the existence of canons and sermons against it . Dionysius Exiguus , and others following him , maintained that the 318 Bishops assembled at the Nicene Council had specified a particular method of determining the date of Easter ; subsequent scholarship has refuted this tradition . In any case , in the years following the council , the computational system that was worked out by the church of Alexandria came to be normative . It took a while for the Alexandrian rules to be adopted throughout Christian Europe , however . The 8 - year cycle originally employed was replaced by ( or by the time of ) Augustalis 's treatise on the measurement of Easter , after which Rome used his 84 - year lunisolar calendar cycle until 457 . It then switched to an adaptation by Victorius of the Alexandrian rules . Because this Victorian cycle differed from the Alexandrian cycle in the dates of some of the Paschal Full Moons , and because it tried to respect the Roman custom of fixing Easter to the Sunday in the week of the 16th to the 22nd of the lunar month ( rather than the 15th to the 21st as at Alexandria ) , by providing alternative `` Latin '' and `` Greek '' dates in some years , occasional differences in the date of Easter as fixed by Alexandrian rules continued . The Alexandrian rules were adopted in the West following the tables of Dionysius Exiguus in 525 . From this time , therefore , all discrepancies between Alexandria and Rome as to the correct date for Easter cease , as both churches were using identical tables . Early Christians in Britain and Ireland also used an 84 - year cycle . From the 5th century onward this cycle set its equinox to 25 March and fixed Easter to the Sunday falling in the 14th to the 20th of the lunar month inclusive . This 84 - year cycle was replaced by the Alexandrian method in the course of the 7th and 8th centuries . Churches in western continental Europe used a late Roman method until the late 8th century during the reign of Charlemagne , when they finally adopted the Alexandrian method . Since 1582 , when the Catholic Church adopted the Gregorian calendar while the Eastern Orthodox and most Oriental Orthodox Churches retained the Julian calendar , the date on which Easter is celebrated has again differed . The Greek island of Syros , whose population is divided almost equally between Catholics and Orthodox , is one of the few places where the two Churches share a common date for Easter , with the Catholics accepting the Orthodox date -- a practice helping considerably in maintaining good relations between the two communities . Reform of the date See also : Reform of the date of Easter The congregation lighting their candles from the new flame , just as the priest has retrieved it from the altar -- note that the picture is flash - illuminated ; all electric lighting is off , and only the oil lamps in front of the Iconostasis remain lit . ( St. George Greek Orthodox Church , Adelaide ) . In the 20th century , some individuals and institutions have propounded a fixed date for Easter , the most prominent proposal being the Sunday after the second Saturday in April . Despite having some support , proposals to reform the date have not been implemented . An Orthodox congress of Eastern Orthodox bishops , which included representatives mostly from the Patriarch of Constantinople and the Serbian Patriarch , met in Constantinople in 1923 , where the bishops agreed to the Revised Julian calendar . The original form of this calendar would have determined Easter using precise astronomical calculations based on the meridian of Jerusalem . However , all the Eastern Orthodox countries that subsequently adopted the Revised Julian calendar adopted only that part of the revised calendar that applied to festivals falling on fixed dates in the Julian calendar . The revised Easter computation that had been part of the original 1923 agreement was never permanently implemented in any Orthodox diocese . In the United Kingdom , the Easter Act 1928 set out legislation to allow the date of Easter to be fixed as the first Sunday after the second Saturday in April ( or , in other words , the Sunday in the period from 9 to 15 April ) . However , the legislation has not been implemented , although it remains on the Statute book and could be implemented subject to approval by the various Christian churches . At a summit in Aleppo , Syria , in 1997 , the World Council of Churches ( WCC ) proposed a reform in the calculation of Easter which would have replaced the present divergent practices of calculating Easter with modern scientific knowledge taking into account actual astronomical instances of the spring equinox and full moon based on the meridian of Jerusalem , while also following the Council of Nicea position of Easter being on the Sunday following the full moon . The recommended World Council of Churches changes would have sidestepped the calendar issues and eliminated the difference in date between the Eastern and Western churches . The reform was proposed for implementation starting in 2001 , but it was not ultimately adopted by any member body . In January 2016 , Christian churches again considered the idea of a fixed and unified date of Easter , probably either the second or third Sunday in April .

The week before Easter , known as Holy Week , is very special in the Christian tradition . The Sunday before Easter is Palm Sunday , with the Wednesday before Easter being known as Spy Wednesday . The last three days before Easter are Maundy Thursday , Good Friday and Holy Saturday ( sometimes referred to as Silent Saturday ) . Palm Sunday , Maundy Thursday and Good Friday respectively commemorate Jesus ' entry in Jerusalem , the Last Supper and the Crucifixion . Maundy Thursday , Good Friday , and Holy Saturday are sometimes referred to as the Easter Triduum ( Latin for `` Three Days '' ) . Many churches begin celebrating Easter late in the evening of Holy Saturday at a service called the Easter Vigil . The week beginning with Easter Sunday is called Easter Week or the Octave of Easter , and each day is prefaced with `` Easter '' , e.g. Easter Monday ( a public holiday in many countries ) , Easter Tuesday ( a much less widespread public holiday ) , etc . Easter Saturday is therefore the Saturday after Easter Sunday . The day before Easter is properly called Holy Saturday . Eastertide , or Paschaltide , the season of Easter , begins on Easter Sunday and lasts until the day of Pentecost , seven weeks later . Eastern Christianity In Eastern Christianity , the spiritual preparation for Easter begins with Great Lent , which starts on Clean Monday and lasts for 40 continuous days ( including Sundays ) . The last week of Great Lent ( following the fifth Sunday of Great Lent ) is called Palm Week , and ends with Lazarus Saturday . The Vespers which begins Lazarus Saturday officially brings Great Lent to a close , although the fast continues through the following week . After Lazarus Saturday comes Palm Sunday , Holy Week , and finally Easter itself , and the fast is broken immediately after the Paschal Divine Liturgy . The Paschal Vigil begins with the Midnight Office , which is the last service of the Lenten Triodion and is timed so that it ends a little before midnight on Holy Saturday night . At the stroke of midnight the Paschal celebration itself begins , consisting of Paschal Matins , Paschal Hours , and Paschal Divine Liturgy . Placing the Paschal Divine Liturgy at midnight guarantees that no Divine Liturgy will come earlier in the morning , ensuring its place as the pre-eminent `` Feast of Feasts '' in the liturgical year . The liturgical season from Easter to the Sunday of All Saints ( the Sunday after Pentecost ) is known as the Pentecostarion ( the `` fifty days '' ) . The week which begins on Easter Sunday is called Bright Week , during which there is no fasting , even on Wednesday and Friday . The Afterfeast of Easter lasts 39 days , with its Apodosis ( leave - taking ) on the day before Ascension . Pentecost Sunday is the fiftieth day from Easter ( counted inclusively ) .

Please help improve this section by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( April 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The Easter festival is kept in many different ways among Western Christians . The traditional , liturgical observation of Easter , as practised among Roman Catholics , Lutherans , and some Anglicans begins on the night of Holy Saturday with the Easter Vigil . This , the most important liturgy of the year , begins in total darkness with the blessing of the Easter fire , the lighting of the large Paschal candle ( symbolic of the Risen Christ ) and the chanting of the Exultet or Easter Proclamation attributed to Saint Ambrose of Milan . Epistle reading , I Corinthians 5 : 7 -- 8 ( in Latin ) , for the Solemn Mass of Easter Day After this service of light , a number of readings from the Old Testament are read . These tell the stories of creation , the sacrifice of Isaac , the crossing of the Red Sea , and the foretold coming of the Messiah . This part of the service climaxes with the singing of the Gloria and the Alleluia and the proclamation of the Gospel of the resurrection . At this time , the lights are brought up and the church bells are rung , according to local custom . A sermon may be preached after the gospel . The focus then moves from the lectern to the font . Anciently , Easter was considered the ideal time for converts to receive baptism , and this practice continues within Roman Catholicism and the Anglican Communion . Whether there are baptisms at this point or not , it is traditional for the congregation to renew the vows of their baptismal faith . This act is often sealed by the sprinkling of the congregation with holy water from the font . The Catholic sacrament of Confirmation is also celebrated at the Vigil . The Easter Vigil concludes with the celebration of the Eucharist ( known in some traditions as Holy Communion ) . Certain variations in the Easter Vigil exist : Some churches read the Old Testament lessons before the procession of the Paschal candle , and then read the gospel immediately after the Exsultet . Eastern Christianity Icon of the Resurrection by an unknown 17th - century Bulgarian artist Easter is the fundamental and most important festival of the Eastern and Oriental Orthodox Churches : This is the Expected and Holy Day , the One among the Sabbaths , the Sovereign and Lady of days , Feast of feasts , Celebration of celebrations , on which we praise Christ for all eternity ! Boris Kustodiev 's Pascha Greetings ( 1912 ) shows traditional Russian khristosovanie ( exchanging a triple kiss ) , with such foods as red eggs , kulich and paskha in the background . Every other religious festival in their calendar , including Christmas , is secondary in importance to the celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ . This is reflected in rich Paschal customs in the cultures of countries that have traditionally had an Orthodox Christian majority . Eastern Catholics have similar emphasis in their calendars , and many of their liturgical customs are very similar . This is not to say that Christmas and other elements of the Christian liturgical calendar are ignored . Instead , these events are all seen as necessary but preliminary to , and illuminated by , the full climax of the Resurrection , in which all that has come before reaches fulfillment and fruition . They shine only in the light of the Resurrection . Easter is the primary act that fulfills the purpose of Christ 's ministry on earth -- to defeat death by dying and to purify and exalt humanity by voluntarily assuming and overcoming human frailty . This is succinctly summarized by the Paschal troparion , sung repeatedly for forty days , through the Apodosis of Easter , which is the day before Ascension : Χριστὸς ἀνέστη ἐκ νεκρῶν , θανάτῳ θάνατον πατήσας , καὶ τοῖς ἐν τοῖς μνήμασι ζωὴν χαρισάμενος . Christ is risen from the dead , Trampling down death by death , And upon those in the tombs Bestowing life ! Preparation for Easter begins with the season of Great Lent . In addition to fasting , almsgiving , and prayer , Orthodox Christians cut down on all entertainment and non-essential worldly activities , gradually eliminating them until Great and Holy Friday , the most austere day of the year . On the evening of Great and Holy Saturday , the Midnight Office commences an hour or two before midnight ( see paschal vigil ) . Religious Procession in Kursk Province , a controversial painting by Ilya Repin ( 1880 -- 83 ) , depicting a Bright Week outdoor procession . At its completion all light in the church building is extinguished , and all wait in darkness and silence for the stroke of midnight . Then , a new flame is struck in the altar , or the priest lights his candle from the perpetual lamp kept burning there , and he then lights candles held by deacons or other assistants , who then go to light candles held by the congregation ( this practice has its origin in the reception of the Holy Fire at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem ) . Then the priest and congregation go in a procession around the temple , holding lit candles , chanting : By Thy Resurrection O Christ our savior , the angels in Heaven sing , enable us who are on Earth , to glorify thee in purity of heart . This procession reenacts the journey of the Myrrhbearers to the Tomb of Jesus `` very early in the morning '' . After circling around the temple once or three times , the procession halts in front of the closed doors . In the Greek practice the priest reads a selection from the Gospel Book . Then , in all traditions , the priest makes the sign of the cross with the censer in front of the closed doors ( which represent the sealed tomb ) . Traditional Paschal Outdoor Procession during Bright Week by Russian Orthodox Old - Rite Church . He and the people chant the Paschal Troparion , and all of the bells and semantra are sounded . Then all re-enter the temple and paschal matins begins immediately , followed by the paschal hours and then the paschal divine liturgy . The Paschal Homily of St. John Chrysostom is read at matins . After the dismissal of the liturgy , the priest may bless paschal eggs and baskets brought by the faithful containing those foods which have been forbidden during the Great Fast . Immediately after the Liturgy it is customary for the congregation to share a meal , essentially an agápē dinner ( albeit at 2 : 00 am or later ) . In Greece the traditional meal is mageiritsa , a hearty stew of chopped lamb liver and wild greens seasoned with egg - and - lemon sauce . Traditionally , easter eggs , hard - boiled eggs dyed bright red to symbolize the spilt Blood of Christ and the promise of eternal life , are cracked together to celebrate the opening of the Tomb of Christ . The next morning , Easter Sunday proper , there is no Divine Liturgy , since the liturgy for that day has already been celebrated . Instead , in the afternoon `` Agápē Vespers '' is sung . In this service , it has become customary during the last few centuries for the priest and members of the congregation to read a portion of the Gospel of John in as many languages as they can manage , to show the universality of the Resurrection . For the remainder of the week , known as `` Bright Week '' , fasting ( other than before holy communion is suppressed , and the customary Paschal greeting is : `` Christ is risen ! '' , to which the response is : `` Truly he is risen ! '' This may also be done in many different languages . The services during Bright Week are nearly identical to those on Easter itself , except that they do not take place at midnight , but at their normal times during the day . The outdoor procession during Bright Week takes place either after paschal matins or the paschal divine liturgy . Non-observing Christian groups Nonconformist Protestant Christians prefer to use a simple Christian cross , rather than a crucifix , to emphasize the Resurrection . Along with the celebration of Christmas and Advent , many Lenten and Easter traditions were altered or even abandoned altogether by various offshoots of the Protestant Reformation , as they were deemed `` pagan '' or `` Popish '' ( and therefore tainted ) by many of the Reformation 's Puritan movements . However , some of the major Reformation Churches and movements ( Lutheran , Methodist and Anglican for example ) , chose to retain a large proportion of the observances of the established Church Year along with many of its associated traditions . In Lutheran Churches , for example , not only were the days of Holy Week observed , but also Christmas , Easter and Pentecost were observed with three - day festivals ( the day itself and the two following ) . Other Protestant groups took a different attitude , with most Anabaptists , Quakers , Congregationalists and Presbyterian Puritans regarding such festivals as an abomination . The Puritan rejection of Easter traditions was ( and is ) based partly upon their interpretation of 2 Corinthians 6 : 14 -- 16 and partly upon a more general belief that , if a religious practice or celebration is not actually written in the Christian Bible , then that practice / celebration must be a later development and can not be considered an authentic part of Christian practice or belief -- so at best simply unnecessary , at worst actually sinful . Groups such as the Restored Church of God reject the celebration of Easter , seeing it as originating in a pagan spring festival taken over by the `` Roman '' Catholic Church . Jehovah 's Witnesses maintain a similar view , observing a yearly commemorative service of the Last Supper and the subsequent execution of Christ on the evening of Nisan 14 ( as they calculate the dates derived from the lunar Hebrew Calendar ) . It is commonly referred to by many Witnesses as simply `` The Memorial '' . Jehovah 's Witnesses believe that such verses as Luke 22 : 19 -- 20 and 1 Corinthians 11 : 26 constitute a commandment to remember the death of Christ though not the resurrection , and they do so on a yearly basis just as Passover is celebrated annually by the Jews . Members of the Religious Society of Friends ( Quakers ) , as part of their historic testimony against times and seasons , do not celebrate or observe Easter or any other Christian holidays , believing instead that `` every day is the Lord 's day '' , and that elevation of one day above others suggests that it is acceptable to do un-Christian acts on other days . During the 17th and 18th centuries , Quakers were persecuted for this non-observance of Holy Days . Some Christian groups feel that Easter is something to be regarded with great joy : not marking the day itself , but remembering and rejoicing in the event it commemorates -- the miracle of Christ 's resurrection . In this spirit , these Christians teach that each day and all Sabbaths should be kept holy , in Christ 's teachings . Hebrew - Christian , Sacred Name , and Armstrong movement churches ( such as the Living Church of God ) usually reject Easter in favor of Nisan 14 observance and celebration of the Christian Passover . This is especially true of Christian groups that celebrate the New Moons or annual High Sabbaths in addition to seventh - day Sabbath . They support this textually with reference to the letter to the Colossians : `` Let no one ... pass judgment on you in matters of food and drink or with regard to a festival or new moon or sabbath . These are shadows of things to come ; the reality belongs to Christ . '' ( Col. 2 : 16 -- 17 , NAB ) Easter celebrations around the world Main article : Easter customs An Easter postcard depicting the Easter Bunny In countries where Christianity is a state religion , or where the country has large Christian population , Easter is often a public holiday . As Easter is always a Sunday , many countries in the world also have Easter Monday as a public holiday . Some retail stores , shopping malls , and restaurants are closed on Easter Sunday . Good Friday , which occurs two days before Easter Sunday , is also a public holiday in many countries , as well as in 12 U.S. states . Even in states where Good Friday is not a holiday , many financial institutions , stock markets , and public schools are closed . Few banks that are normally open on regular Sundays are closed on Easter . In the Nordic countries Good Friday , Easter Sunday and Easter Monday are public holidays , and Good Friday and Easter Monday are bank holidays . In Denmark , Iceland and Norway Maundy Thursday is also a public holiday . It is a holiday for most workers except some shopping malls which keep open for a half - day . Many businesses give their employees almost a week off , called Easter break . Schools are closed between Palm Sunday and Easter Monday . According to a 2014 poll , 6 of 10 Norwegians travel during Easter , often to a countryside cottage ; 3 of 10 said their typical Easter included skiing . In the Netherlands both Easter Sunday and Easter Monday are national holidays . Like first and second Christmas Day , they are both considered Sundays , which results in a first and a second Easter Sunday , after which the week continues to a Tuesday . Even though Good Friday is an official national holiday , it is not a mandatory day off for commercial companies . In Commonwealth nations Easter Day is rarely a public holiday , as is the case for celebrations which fall on a Sunday . In the United Kingdom both Good Friday and Easter Monday are bank holidays . However , in Canada Easter Sunday is a public holiday , along with Easter Monday . In the Canadian province of Quebec , either Good Friday or Easter Monday are statutory holidays ( although most companies give both ) . In some countries Good Friday is a public holiday as well . In Australia , because of its location in the southern hemisphere , Easter takes place in autumn .

Easter eggs Main article : Easter egg The egg is an ancient symbol of new life and rebirth . In Christianity it became associated with Jesus ' crucifixion and resurrection . The custom of the Easter egg originated in the early Christian community of Mesopotamia , who stained eggs red in memory of the blood of Christ , shed at his crucifixion . As such , for Christians , the Easter egg is a symbol of the empty tomb . The oldest tradition is to use dyed chicken eggs , but a modern custom is to substitute decorated chocolate , or plastic eggs filled with candy such as jellybeans . The Easter Bunny is a popular legendary anthropomorphic Easter gift - giving character analogous to Santa Claus in American culture . Many Americans follow the tradition of coloring hard - boiled eggs and giving baskets of candy . On Easter Monday , the President of the United States holds an annual Easter egg roll on the White House lawn for young children .

It is the second anime series in the Blood franchise following the 2005 -- 2006 series Blood+ . The original 12 - episode series aired during 2011 , with a movie Blood - C : The Last Dark releasing in Japanese theaters the following year . The anime was subsequently adapted into two manga , a 2011 novelization , a 2015 stage play set between the events of Blood - C and The Last Dark , and two live - action movies . Blood - C focuses on Saya Kisaragi , an outwardly normal girl who serves as the shrine maiden to a country town ; in reality , she is a skilled swordswoman charged by her father to defeat Elder Bairns , monsters who feed on human blood . As her battles grow more desperate and more people she cares for fall victim to the Elder Bairns , Saya begins finding faults in her reality , and eventually uncovers a disturbing truth about herself , the town and her surviving friends . Blood - C was designed to share only thematic similarities with earlier Blood projects . CLAMP was brought on board to both design the characters and help create the scenario . It featured several new elements to the Blood franchise , such as being primarily set within a high school environment . The Elder Bairns were inspired by the Great Old Ones from H.P. Lovecraft 's Cthulhu Mythos , and modeled after traditional Japanese monsters . Its bloody violence , a stylistic choice following the series ' themes , resulted in censorship in Japan and eventual blacklisting in China . The series has received mixed to positive reviews from journalists .

Saya Kisaragi is the shrine maiden of the Shinto shrine run by her father Tadayoshi , and is outwardly a friendly and clumsy high school girl -- her circle of friends include neighbor and cafe owner Fumito Nanahara ; school friends Yūka Amino , twins Nene and Nono Motoe , class president Itsuki Tomofusa , the taciturn Shinichirō Tokizane ; and Saya 's schoolroom teacher Kanako Tsutsutori . But while living a normal school life by day , Saya and her father spend the night defending the village against Elder Bairns , monsters who possess inanimate objects to stalk humans and feed on their blood . Saya 's skills in the `` art of the sword '' enable her to defeat the Elder Bairns , but those capable of speech accuse Saya and the humans of violating a covenant dubbed `` Shrovetide '' . Saya also encounters a talking dog which says it is here to grant someone 's wish , and suffers from blanks in her memory and is pained by headaches whenever she tries to remember . Saya 's battles with the Elder Bairns become increasingly desperate as they begin attacking during the day , and both Nene and Nono fall victim , leaving Saya deeply hurt . Shinichirō eventually learns of Saya 's burden and offers to help , but is later killed himself . An attack on Saya 's school results in everyone but Saya and Itsuki dying before Saya can kill the attacking Elder Bairn . Saya later realizes that only her class and their teacher Kanako were present in the school . Due to the blanks in her memory and comments from the Elder Bairns , she begins questioning her identity and mission . After the attack that kills Shinichirō , Kanako asks to see Tadayoshi 's library , which contains information on the Elder Bairns . They find that the library is a fake , then Kanako confronts Saya with the living Nono , Nene and Shinichirō before forcing her to drink Elder Bairn blood . It is revealed that the town 's entire population , including those close to Saya , were actors in an experiment organized by Fumito , and that Saya is actually an Elder Bairn in human form . She had agreed to take part in the experiment , swore an oath not to kill humans , and then was implanted with false memories of her past `` human life , '' all with the goal of seeing whether her inner self could be altered so the oath could be broken . Whenever Saya began relapsing and remembering her past , Fumito used drugs and hypnosis to make her docile again , and all the Elder Bairns she faced were controlled by Fumito using her blood . Kanako had wanted to save Saya and prove the existence of Elder Bairns , suborning Nono , Nene and Shinichirō to help her . Fumito , Itsuki and Yūka then confront them , with Fumito unleashing an Elder Bairn that brutally kills Nono , Nene and Shinichirō for their treachery . Saya saves Kanako from the Elder Bairn while killing it , but Kanako is then killed by Tadayoshi , revealed to be a human - Elder Bairn hybrid driven berserk by an overdose of Saya 's blood given by Fumito . Saya -- now back to her true self -- is forced to kill Tadayoshi , and witnesses Fumito release an artificial Elder Bairn which slaughters the town 's population before Saya kills it . Fumito 's soldiers attempt to shoot Saya , but Itsuki sacrifices himself to save her as he had grown to love her . Fumito and Yūka -- who participated so as to achieve political power with Fumito 's help -- escape on a helicopter . When Saya tries to stop them , Fumito shoots her . Recovering on the lakeside , Saya learns from the dog that her wish was to remain herself when in Fumito 's experiment , and that she must now pursue her next wish . Saya sets off in pursuit of Fumito .

Production ( edit ) The yokai - based designs of the Cthulhu Mythos - inspired Elder Bairns were decided upon after the creation of the first episodes ' Elder Bairn , modeled after a Jizo statue . Blood - C was a collaborative production between Production I.G and CLAMP . Production I.G is an animation studio which had created the Blood franchise with the 2000 film Blood : The Last Vampire , which was the studio 's first attempt at an original in - house project . CLAMP is an all - female manga artist group made up of writer Nanase Ohkawa and artists Mokona , Tsubaki Nekoi , and Satsuki Igarashi . The main staff included both newcomers and people who had worked on previous entries in the Blood franchise . These included concept creator and co-writer Junichi Fujisaku , one of the original creators of the Blood franchise ; and director Tsutomu Mizushima , whose most notable recent work was the anime adaptation of CLAMP 's manga xxxHolic . Background artwork was created by Hiromasa Ogura , and setting artwork was created by Kazuo Kanpei of Kusanagi . 3D CGI was handled by Tsukamoto Mori . The music was composed by Naoki Satō , whose previous work included Sword of the Stranger . The opening theme `` Spiral '' was performed by Dustz , who worked hard to make the song a suitable addition to the Blood canon and incorporated both Japanese and French lyrics . The ending theme , `` Junketsu Paradox '' , was sung by Nana Mizuki -- the voice actress for Saya -- who used the anime 's story as inspiration and incorporated archaic phrases for the lyrics . The production team was dubbed `` Project BLOOD - C TV '' . When developing plans for Blood - C , it was decided to shift its setting based on positive feedback from the change of setting between Blood : The Last Vampire and the franchise 's first anime series Blood+ . The only elements to be retained were the first name of the main character , having a katana as her weapon , and the basic premise of her defeating monsters with that sword . The wish for the project to be distinct from earlier entries was what spurred the collaboration with CLAMP , which became a large part of the anime 's marketing campaign . Fujisaku , when asked in an interview to describe his one creative ambition for the series , said that it was to fully expand and build upon the basic concept established in Blood : The Last Vampire . The choice of a school setting , the first of its kind to be featured in the Blood franchise , was chosen because Mizushima wanted to portray a school life for Saya . When asked , Mizushima did not find the change from his previous comedy anime - based turnout a barrier to his work , but did feel pressure when handling a project within the Blood franchise . The scripts were written by Ohkawa and Fujisaku . While Ohkawa took charge of each episode 's dialogue , Fujisaku handled fight sequences . Fujisaku pointedly avoided contributing too much to the dialogue as Ohkawa 's writing had a very distinctive style , his alterations made only due to story inconsistencies . The series was composed in a way that gradually revealed the central mystery while pitting Saya against progressively stronger foes . The setting 's intensely `` normal '' appearance was designed to make viewers feel uneasy as faults begin appearing in Saya 's everyday life . According to Ohkawa , the main theme of the series was examination of the hero 's role as a lonely protector of the innocent . Alongside this was the portrayal of Saya 's seemingly normal life and now her role as the town 's protector began intruding upon this everyday life . The final episodes were intended to evoke viewer sympathy for Saya due to the terrible ordeal she had been subjected to . The series broke from conventions of a hero - focused anime by portraying the relationships between Saya and those close to her in a very shallow way during the opening episodes . For the final few episodes , when the truth is revealed about Saya and her school life , the supporting cast were generally portrayed as `` hateful '' people that the viewers would wish to see die . So as to keep the series ' twist ending a secret , the entire voice cast including Mizuki and Nojima -- the respective voice actors of Saya and Fumito -- were told nothing about the final episode 's events . A different interview revealed that each cast member were only given the scripts for three episodes at any one time to preserve secrecy . The subtitle of each episode was drawn from the Japanese poetry anthology Ogura Hyakunin Isshu . The series made regular use of bloody violence , which was exaggerated to distance viewers from the show 's horrific elements . Despite this , the director said the show was not deliberately focused on bloody violence . The design of the main cast was handled by CLAMP . According to Mizushima , the team wanted to portray Saya in a far more human way than her previous incarnations , ending up creating a character more human then even the true human characters . Saya 's character as a long - haired , song - singing meganekko ( girl in glasses ) almost entirely created by CLAMP . Due to the stark differences between this version of Saya and previous versions , Fujisaku did not used her original surname `` Otonashi '' , so viewers could clearly distinguish Saya 's portrayal from previous entries . When deciding upon her strength , Mizushima decided to use Hit - Girl from the movie Kick - Ass as a role model , making Saya stronger than Hit - Girl while also putting her into a high school environment . The animation character designer was Kazuchika Kise , who worked on Blood : The Last Vampire . Yasuomi Umetsu directed and worked on the storyboard for the game 's opening along with Kise . A key part of the opening was a layer of blood peeling away from Saya 's naked form . While compared by many to the opening of Ghost in the Shell , Umetsu said that it represented Saya 's personal evolution during the course of the show . The Elder Bairns were designed by Tomohiro Shinoda . They were initially conceived by Ohkawa as Japanese versions of the Great Old Ones , figures from the Cthulhu Mythos created by H.P. Lovecraft . While some elements remained from the initial concept , the Elder Bairns ' physical forms as faced by Saya were inspired by yokai from Japanese folklore at Mizushima 's insistence -- this design choice was decided upon after Jizo finished storyboarding the fight against the first episode 's Elder Bairn , which was modeled after a Jizo statue . This initial concept was expanded upon by Mizushima , Ohkawa and Fujisaku . The disguised form of the Elder Bairn from the fifth episode was based on train carriages from the Kamikōchi Line in Nagano Prefecture that Mizushima had enjoyed traveling on as a boy . The Elder Bairn from the ninth episode was intended for the second episode , but the staff felt it was too strong to appear so early , so it was shifted to a later episode . All the Elder Bairns were designed to give the impression of a `` vivid , flesh - and - blood texture '' . Broadcast ( edit ) Blood - C was first announced in March 2011 , with its core staff and its approximate air date in July . The series began broadcasting on July 7 , 2011 . While scheduled for June 7 , its late night slot meant that the first episode 's actual broadcast was on July 8 . In celebration of the anime 's release , an autographed copy of the first episode 's script was offered in a competition through the anime 's official website . A special web radio series featuring actors from the show also began broadcast in July alongside the series . Dubbed `` Blood - R '' , it ran for eleven episodes . It first began broadcasting on Mainichi Broadcasting System ( MBS ) on July 7 and Tokyo Broadcasting System ( TBS ) on July 8 . Several episodes were repeated during the original broadcast in a three - day successive broadcast in August . Its twelve - episode run ended on September 30 , 2011 . During the original broadcast , scenes were Saya 's friends or other humans characters were killed by the Elder Bairns -- the process of which invariably involved extensive blood and gore -- were censored with areas of light and darkness . The deaths of Elder Bairns and mild erotic elements during a bathing scene with Saya were left uncensored . During its original run , it was broadcast simultaneously in North America , the United Kingdom , Canada , Australia , New Zealand and South Africa through the Western branch of Niconico . In addition to this , the series broadcast on Chubu - Nippon Broadcasting from July 13 , and Kumamoto Asahi Broadcasting RRK station from July 31 . Blood - C would later debut on WOWOW in 2013 : Episodes 1 to 10 were broadcast back to back on September 22 , while the final two episodes broadcast on September 29 . In 2015 , Niconico 's Japanese channel ran a marathon broadcast of all twelve episodes starting from June 28 . Blood - C was one of three anime cited -- alongside Highschool of the Dead and Terror in Resonance -- in a warning given by the Chinese Ministry of Culture to video streaming sites due to the series high violence . Blood - C was later put on a blacklist by the Ministry of Culture alongside 37 other anime and manga series , prohibiting its physical and online distribution in mainland China . Home media ( edit ) The series ' Blu - ray and DVD releases were handled in Japan by Aniplex . The series released in six volumes between September 28 , 2011 and February 22 , 2012 .

Print ( edit ) A novelization of the series was written by Fujisaka , released on October 4 , 2011 by Kadokawa Shoten . A manga adaptation of Blood - C was announced alongside the anime .

As with the series ' manga adaptation , Dark Horse Comics licensed the manga for Western publication . The two volumes released on May 18 and August 3 , 2016 . Reception ( edit ) During its opening week , the first DVD / Blu - ray volume failed to reach a high position in the charts against many anime and live - action releases , selling only 727 copies according to Oricon . In contrast , at its release in the United Kingdom , the Complete Series release reached # 4 in the anime charts . At the Reaper Award awards show , Blood - C was awarded the 2013 for `` Best Animation '' . Richard Eisenbeis of Kotaku praised the character and Elder Bairn designs , and also enjoyed the questions the anime posed about where Blood - C fitted in both the overall Blood franchise and the works of CLAMP . He was more mixed about the odd justoposition of innocent school life with the high violence of Elder Bairn encounters . He was also unsure about the ending , saying it tidied up the series ' mysteries but required watching the movie to understand the story . He ended his review by calling Blood - C `` a beautifully drawn show with excellent action and a legitimately compelling mystery '' . Bradley Meek , writing for THEM Anime , gave the series 3 / 5 stars . He praised the way the series maintained its horror - based atmosphere in between the action sequences . He greatly enjoyed the horror and action aspects , but felt that the character - driven segments in early episodes threatened to drag down the whole experience due to mundane content and poor characters . Talking about the anime 's second half , he said that it drastically altered the pace and content to the point that viewers might be put off with its conscious bending of the rules of handling characters and viewers alike -- Meek was ultimately angry at the series ' brutal ending , but it also left him eager to see its movie conclusion . Anime News Network 's Carlo Santos gave the subtitled version a score of `` B - '' and the dubbed version as score of `` C + '' . He found the darker elements hidden so well in early episodes that it made the series boring to watch , and that the ending would divide opinion due to its drastic alteration of how events in the series played out and its discussion of both horror tropes and the standard elements of the Blood franchise . The action scenes came in for regular praise for their choreography and many monster designs , but the school life segments were seen as boring and overly slender character designs . Santos unreservedly praised the music 's quality and recurring melodies despite calling the opening and ending themes `` typical angst - ridden rock numbers '' . He called the English dub `` understated ( but not emotionless ) '' , finding that it reinforced the overall atmosphere and only suffered due to the original writing .

where did the duty of candour come from
Duty of candour - Wikipedia Duty of candour For the US patent law term `` duty of candor '' , see Inequitable conduct . In UK public law , the duty of candour is the duty imposed on a public authority ' not to seek to win ( a ) litigation at all costs but to assist the court in reaching the correct result and thereby to improve standards in public administration ' . Lord Donaldson MR in R v Lancashire County Council ex p . Huddleston stated that public servants should be willing ' to explain fully what has occurred and why ' . There is also a contractual duty of candour imposed on all NHS and non-NHS providers of services to NHS patients in the UK to ' provide to the service user and any other relevant person all necessary support and all relevant information ' in the event that a ' reportable patient safety incident ' occurs . A ' reportable patient safety incident ' is one which could have or did result in moderate or severe harm or death . Campaigner Will Powell led a campaign for NHS managers and doctors to have a formal ' duty of candour ' when dealing with complaints about negligent or poor standards of care in NHS hospitals . In January 2014 David Behan , chief executive of the Care Quality Commission , threw his weight behind a wide definition for the statutory duty of candour which was recommended by the Francis Report . The Government originally intended the duty to be limited to cases of `` severe harm '' -- when a patient had been killed or left permanently disabled , as a wider reporting requirement could inundate organisations with unnecessary bureaucracy . The CQC estimates there are about 11,000 incidents of severe harm per year , and up to 100,000 incidents of serious harm , although there may be significant under reporting of both . The charity Action Against Medical Accidents has been campaigning for a wide definition and Behan made it clear that he was supporting them .

It is governed by the Football Association of Ireland ( FAI ) and plays its home fixtures at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin . The team made their debut at the 1924 Summer Olympics , reaching the quarter - finals . Between 1924 and 1936 , the team competed as the Irish Free State and from then until 1950 , it was referred to by the FAI as Éire or Ireland . In 1953 , FIFA decreed that for competitive matches in tournaments that both Irish teams may enter , the FAI team would be officially called the Republic of Ireland while the IFA team was to be named Northern Ireland . Northern Ireland was allowed to use the title Ireland by FIFA in the Home International Competition until it was discontinued in 1984 . The Republic of Ireland was the first nation from outside the United Kingdom to defeat England at home at a fixture played at Goodison Park , Liverpool , in 1949 . The team also reached the quarter - final stage of the 1964 European Nations ' Cup , where they lost to the eventual winners Spain . Under the guidance of Jack Charlton , the team enjoyed its most successful era , reaching their highest FIFA world ranking ever at sixth in August 1993 , and qualifying for UEFA Euro 1988 in their first appearance at the UEFA European Championship , reaching the quarter - finals of the 1990 FIFA World Cup in their first ever appearance at the finals , as well as making the last 16 at the 1994 edition . Charlton 's successor Mick McCarthy lost out on the next two major tournaments but ultimately qualified for the 2002 World Cup , making it to the last 16 . Under Giovanni Trapattoni , the team narrowly lost out on qualification for the 2010 World Cup during a controversial play - off , but went on to qualify for Euro 2012 . The team failed to qualify for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil , marking the end of Trapattoni 's tenure as manager . The Republic of Ireland also fell to a record low FIFA ranking of 59th , then a record low of 70th in June 2014 . For the next Euro qualifying campaign under manager Martin O'Neill , the Republic of Ireland finished third behind Germany and Poland , but went on to qualify for Euro 2016 after a 3 -- 1 aggregate win over Bosnia and Herzegovina in the play - offs . The Boys in Green reached the Round of 16 stage at that tournament and were knocked out by the hosts and eventual runners - up France after losing 2 - 1 at full time .

In 1920 , Ireland was partitioned into Northern Ireland and the Irish Free State ( the latter in turn becoming Éire or Ireland after adopting a new Constitution in 1937 , followed by declaring itself a republic in 1948 . ) Following the initial political upheavals surrounding Partition , a Dublin - based organisation calling itself the Football Association of the Irish Free State ( FAIFS ) split from the IFA in 1921 and began organising its own league and national football team . In 1923 , the FAIFS was recognised by FIFA as the governing body of the Irish Free State and at the 1924 Summer Olympics , the Irish Free State made their international debut . On 28 May , at the Stade Olympique , they beat Bulgaria 1 -- 0 , with Paddy Duncan scoring the team 's first ever goal . As a result , they qualified for the quarter - finals . On 14 June 1924 , the Irish Free State made their home debut against the United States , who had embarked on a brief European tour after competing in the same Summer Olympics . Ed Brookes scored a hat - trick in a 3 -- 1 home win at Dalymount Park . The Irish Free State did not play their next game until 21 March 1926 , an away game against Italy lost 3 -- 0 . In subsequent years , the status of the Olympic Games football competition was downgraded and as a result , this game is widely regarded as the Irish Free State 's first official game . On 25 February 1934 , the Irish Free State made their FIFA World Cup debut , drawing 4 -- 4 with Belgium at Dalymount Park in a 1934 FIFA World Cup qualifier . Paddy Moore scored all four of the Free State 's goals and became the first player ever to score four goals in a World Cup game . Ireland ( 1937 -- 1952 ) ( edit ) After 1936 , they reverted to the designation `` Football Association of Ireland '' and began to refer to their team as Éire or `` Ireland '' . During this entire period , there were two Irish international football teams , chosen by two rival Associations . Both Associations , the Northern Ireland - based IFA and the Irish Free State - based FAI claimed jurisdiction over the whole of Ireland and considered themselves entitled to select players from the entire island . At least 38 dual internationals were selected to represent both teams , however the overwhelming majority of these were Southerners who also agreed to play for the IFA team , with only a bare handful `` crossing the border '' in the other direction . A 2 -- 0 win over England at Goodison Park on 21 September 1949 was the first time England suffered a home defeat by a team outside the Home Countries of Scotland , Wales and the Ireland team run by the Belfast - based Irish FA . FIFA eventually intervened when both teams entered 1950 World Cup qualification , the first time they had entered the same competition . Four players -- Tom Aherne , Reg Ryan , Davy Walsh , Con Martin -- actually played for the two different teams in the same FIFA World Cup tournament . All four players concerned had been born in the Irish Free State and made their full international debut in FAI colours before agreeing to represent the IFA team . This may have alarmed the FAI , since they subsequently lobbied FIFA to prevent the IFA from picking Southern - born players ( as well as attempting to exert pressure on the players themselves , sometimes through their clubs ) . FIFA 's response was to restrict the eligibility of players on the basis of the ( political ) border , further ruling in 1953 that neither team could be referred to as Ireland in competitions which both teams were eligible to enter ; i.e. , initially the FIFA World Cup and subsequently the European Nations Cup ( now the UEFA European Football Championship ) . FIFA decreed that the FAI team officially be called the Republic of Ireland while the IFA team was to be named Northern Ireland . Republic of Ireland ( 1953 -- 1968 ) ( edit ) In 1953 , FIFA renamed the team from `` Ireland '' to `` Republic of Ireland '' . The 1958 World Cup qualifiers saw the Republic of Ireland drawn with England . In their home game against England , Alf Ringstead put the hosts 1 -- 0 up before John Atyeo equalised in the last minute to salvage a 1 -- 1 draw for England . Under the rules of the day , a win for the Republic of Ireland would have meant a play - off with England for a place in the World Cup . After reaching the quarter - finals of the 1964 European Nations ' Cup , the Republic of Ireland were drawn to face Spain and Syria in 1966 World Cup qualifying . Despite Syria 's withdrawal , this was still considered a qualifying group with the Irish winning 1 -- 0 at home and losing 4 -- 1 away . This meant a play - off at the Parc des Princes in Paris , which Spain won 1 -- 0 Eamon Dunphy made his Ireland debut in this game . The play - off was originally scheduled to take place at Wembley Stadium in London , home to a large Irish diaspora , but the FAI agreed with the Royal Spanish Football Federation to have the match moved to Paris , where a large Spanish diaspora lived . The FAI was criticised for this move to boost revenue from gate receipts . In 1965 , the Republic of Ireland team made history when selecting Manchester United full - back Shay Brennan for the senior national team . This was the first instance of a player born outside the Republic being selected to play for the national team due to having an Irish parent . Since then , many of the Republic 's most prominent players have been born in England , including Mark Lawrenson , David O'Leary , John Aldridge , Tony Cascarino and David Kelly . A number of Scottish born players , including Ray Houghton , have since represented the Republic due to having Irish parentage . The selection rules were later relaxed to allow for the selection of players with an Irish grandparent . Wilderness ( 1969 -- 1985 ) ( edit ) In 1969 , the FAI appointed Mick Meagan as the first permanent manager of the national side . His two years in charge were marked by exceptionally poor results , however with the team losing five out of six matches and gaining just one point in their 1970 World Cup qualification , and doing no better in the UEFA Euro 1972 qualifiers , leading to his dismissal . His replacement , Liam Tuohy , did a somewhat better in the 1974 qualification , and more importantly oversaw major improvements to the national team 's training facilities and persuaded many English club sides to end their policies of not releasing Irish players for international games during the domestic season . Ultimately , however , the team still failed to qualify for the World Cup , and Tuohy resigned following a dispute over his wages . Johnny Giles became the side 's first player - manager in the 1970s . This was followed by the debut of a young Liam Brady and results improved markedly . The side missed out on the 1978 World Cup by two points , having defeated France at home during qualification . After a less than impressive performance at Euro 1980 qualifying , in which the team finished well behind group winners England and Northern Ireland , Giles resigned , saying that he had taken the national side as far as he could . Eoin Hand took over as manager for the 1982 World Cup qualifiers , and once more the Republic of Ireland narrowly missed out on qualification , this time on goal difference behind France , whom they had defeated at home once more . Disappointing qualifying campaigns for both Euro 1984 and the 1986 World Cup followed , ending Hand 's time in charge . The Charlton years ( 1986 -- 1995 ) ( edit ) In 1986 , the Republic of Ireland appointed Jack Charlton , a top rated English manager who had been part of England 's World Cup - winning side of 1966 . During the 1970s , he had developed Middlesbrough into a side which provided many players to the dominant Liverpool team of the time . Republic of Ireland playing Netherlands at the Citrus Bowl in Orlando , Florida , where they lost 2 -- 0 in the Round of 16 of the 1994 World Cup After taking charge of the Republic of Ireland , Charlton influenced changes in the national side which resulted in arguably the most successful period of its history , qualifying for two World Cups and a European Championship . Ireland 's first appearance at a major finals tournament came in Euro 1988 , with qualification being secured through Gary Mackay 's famous goal in Sofia that meant Scotland beat Bulgaria 1 -- 0 and left Ireland on top of the group . In the finals in West Germany , Ireland beat England 1 -- 0 in Stuttgart with a header from Ray Houghton ; drew 1 -- 1 with the Soviet Union in Hannover , with Ronnie Whelan the scorer ; and lost to the Netherlands 1 -- 0 in Gelsenkirchen , coming within seven minutes of a draw that would have meant a semi-final place . The Republic of Ireland 's longest competitive winning streak was achieved in 1989 during the 1990 World Cup qualifying campaign . Five games against Spain , Northern Ireland , Hungary and Malta twice , were all wins for the Irish . Subsequently , the side made it to the 1990 World Cup in Italy . Three draws in the group stage against England , Egypt and the Netherlands was enough to make the knockout stage . Virtually the entire country watched as they beat Romania on penalties , with Packie Bonner making a vital save and David O'Leary scoring the decisive spot - kick . Ireland were then beaten 1 -- 0 by Italy in the quarter - final at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome . During the tournament , the team had an audience with Pope John Paul II , the only team to do so . After missing out on Euro 1992 ( despite being unbeaten in qualifying ) , the Republic of Ireland qualified for the 1994 World Cup , held in the United States . In their first match , they beat the previous World Cup hosts and third - place finishers , Italy , 1 -- 0 in their opening game at Giants Stadium just outside New York City , but lost to Mexico 2 -- 1 at the Citrus Bowl in the heat and humidity of Orlando , Florida . They ended the group stage with a 0 -- 0 draw with Norway at Giants Stadium , in East Rutherford , New Jersey . With these results , they made it to the second round , eventually losing 2 -- 0 to the Netherlands in Orlando . In 1996 , Ireland finished second behind Portugal in Euro 1996 qualifying 's Group 6 , but narrowly missed out on Euro 1996 after losing 2 -- 0 in a play - off played at Anfield between the two worst group runners - up to the Netherlands ( the other worst runner - up ) , with Patrick Kluivert scoring both goals to send his team through . It was Jack Charlton 's final game as manager . Mick McCarthy era ( 1996 -- 2002 ) ( edit ) Charlton was replaced by Mick McCarthy but Ireland still missed out on the next two major tournaments . Ireland just managed to finish second to Romania in their 1998 World Cup qualification campaign after Tony Cascarino scored a late goal to win the away match with Lithuania . A play - off with Belgium followed , with the match at Lansdowne Road finishing in a 1 -- 1 draw , the match in Belgium finishing 2 -- 1 to the home team and substitute David Connolly being sent off in the latter , preventing Ireland from progressing to the 1998 World Cup . FIFA awarded the FIFA Fair Play Award for 1997 to the Irish supporters `` for their exemplary behaviour at Ireland team matches , especially the FIFA World Cup qualifying play - offs against Belgium '' . Ireland 's opponents in UEFA Euro 2000 qualifying Group 8 were Yugoslavia , Croatia , Malta and Macedonia . Macedonia scored a last - minute equaliser that denied Ireland top spot in the group ; instead , they faced Turkey in a play - off to decide which team would participate in Euro 2000 . The match in Dublin finished in a 1 -- 1 draw , although Turkey qualified through the away goals rule after a 0 -- 0 draw , at the end of which Tony Cascarino became involved in a fight and retired from international football . Ireland took on both Portugal and the Netherlands in 2002 World Cup qualifiers in UEFA 's Group 2 , ending the group in second place with 24 points from 10 matches ( seven victories and three draws ) . Despite this unbeaten run , Ireland were drawn in a play - off with Iran . The match in Dublin finished in a 2 -- 0 victory to Ireland with goals from Ian Harte ( penalty ) and Robbie Keane , while the match in Tehran , played in front of 100,000 spectators , finished in a 1 -- 0 win for Iran . McCarthy thus managed to lead Ireland to the 2002 World Cup final stages , though only for the team to lose inspirational captain Roy Keane due to the pair 's infamous public spat in Saipan. 1 -- 1 draws with Cameroon and Germany were followed by a 3 -- 0 victory over Saudi Arabia in Group E. The Irish once again progressed to the knockout stage , only losing narrowly 3 -- 2 on penalties to Spain in Suwon after Robbie Keane 's last minute equalising penalty kick forced the game into extra-time . Decline ( 2003 -- 2007 ) ( edit ) After a poor start to qualifying for Euro 2004 , McCarthy was replaced by Brian Kerr , but he too struggled to guide the side to the tournament or the subsequent 2006 World Cup in Germany , and was ultimately sacked in October 2005 . Kerr was replaced by Steve Staunton ( assisted by Bobby Robson in the position of `` international football consultant '' ) in January 2006 . Under Staunton , results varied widely but the team still failed to qualify for Euro 2008 and Staunton lost the position in October 2007 . His reign included a humiliating 5 -- 2 defeat to Cyprus during the qualifiers ' Group D , one of the worst defeats in the team 's history . The Trapattoni years ( 2008 -- 2013 ) ( edit ) Irish celebrating qualification for UEFA Euro 2012 Giovanni Trapattoni was appointed manager in February 2008 following a spell with assistant coach Don Givens in charge . Trapattoni went through all ten first round 2010 World Cup qualifying games unbeaten , winning four of the ten games . Ireland lost out on a place in the finals , however , after a controversial , narrow loss to France in the play - offs . Ireland went down 0 -- 1 in the first leg , and lost 2 -- 1 on aggregate , with William Gallas scoring a controversial goal in extra time in the second leg after Thierry Henry had handled the ball before crossing for Gallas to score . This followed another controversy over FIFA 's last - minute decision to seed the play - off draw . In 2011 , Ireland hosted and won the inaugural Nations Cup with wins against Wales , Northern Ireland and Scotland without conceding a goal . In their Euro 2012 qualifying group , Ireland finished second , losing only the home fixture against Russia . They thus reached the play - offs and were drawn against Estonia , whom they beat 5 -- 1 on aggregate . Euro 2012 was Ireland 's first major tournament since 2002 , but in Group C they lost all three matches , against Croatia , Spain and Italy . UEFA , however , announced a special award for the fans of the Irish team , who notably sang in the last few minutes against Spain , despite trailing 4 -- 0 . Irish team in September 2013 Ireland were drawn in Group C of UEFA 's 2014 World Cup qualification alongside Germany , Sweden , Austria , the Faroe Islands and Kazakhstan . On 12 October , Ireland suffered their largest ever competitive home defeat , 6 -- 1 against Germany , at the Aviva Stadium . Ireland then lost against Sweden and Austria in early September 2013 , effectively ending the qualification campaign , and Giovanni Trapattoni resigned as team manager the following day . Noel King was appointed interim senior manager on 23 September 2013 following his resignation . On 5 November 2013 , the FAI announced that Martin O'Neill would be Trapattoni 's replacement as manager , with former team captain Roy Keane as his assistant . They assumed their roles when the team met on 11 November where they won against Latvia 3 -- 0 and drew against Poland 0 -- 0 . Recent history ( 2014 -- present ) ( edit ) For the Euro 2016 qualification phase , the Republic of Ireland were drawn in Group D against Georgia , Germany , Gibraltar , Poland and Scotland . The team played against Gibraltar for the first time , beating them 7 -- 0 , and scored an away draw against World Cup champions , Germany , a few days later in October 2014 . On 8 October 2015 , the Republic of Ireland beat world champions Germany 1 -- 0 in a Euro 2016 qualifier at the Aviva Stadium . Shane Long scored the game 's only goal with an excellent finish in the 70th minute , rewarding the Republic of Ireland 's impressive defensive display . The result , hailed as one of the Republic of Ireland 's greatest , guaranteed the Republic of Ireland a play - off place at least , with hopes of automatic qualification still a reality going into the final group game against Poland in Warsaw . A win , or a draw of 2 -- 2 or more , would guarantee at least second place in the group and ensure automatic qualification for the finals in France . The Republic of Ireland , however , lost 2 -- 1 , thus entering them into the play - offs . The draw for the Euro 2016 Play - off was held in Nyon , Switzerland , on 18 October 2015 . Ireland were unseeded in the draw , meaning they could face one of Bosnia and Herzegovina , Ukraine , Sweden or Hungary . Ireland were drawn against Bosnia and Herzegovina , the top seeded team in the play - off . The only previous meeting between the teams resulted in a 1 -- 0 win for the Republic of Ireland in a friendly in 2012 , Shane Long scoring the game 's only goal . Owing to injuries and suspensions , Ireland had only the `` B '' squad available for the first leg of the play - off , played in Bilino Polje Stadium . A goal from Robbie Brady almost secured a victory for the Irish until Edin Džeko equalized 1 -- 1 to end off the match . In the second leg played at the Aviva Stadium , Jonathan Walters scored two goals leading to a 2 -- 0 victory for the Irish . In the end , Ireland won the play - off 3 -- 1 on aggregate , qualifying them for Euro 2016 . At the tournament 's final stages in France , Ireland were drawn into Group E against Italy , Belgium and Sweden . In their opener at the Stade de France in Saint - Denis , Paris , Wes Hoolahan scored the opener with a spectacular half - volley off a Séamus Coleman cross , but Sweden equalised after Ciaran Clark headed into his own net attempting to clear a cross from Zlatan Ibrahimović , leading to a 1 -- 1 draw . At the Nouveau Stade de Bordeaux against Belgium , the Belgians cruised to a 3 -- 0 victory after two goals from Romelu Lukaku and one from Axel Witsel , leaving Ireland needing to win their final match against Italy to qualify for the knockout stage . Against Italy at the Stade Pierre - Mauroy in Villeneuve - d'Ascq , Lille , Ireland played strongly but were five minutes plus stoppage time away from elimination when Robbie Brady headed in Hoolahan 's cross . The Republic held on to win 1 -- 0 , sending Ireland through as one of the four best third - place teams . On 26 June , Ireland played France in the round of 16 in Lyon . Ireland took the lead in the match with an early penalty from Robbie Brady , but France went on to win 2 -- 1 to advance to the quarter - finals . The 2018 World Cup qualification draw took place on 25 July 2015 when the team were drawn in Group D against Austria , Georgia , Moldova , Serbia and Wales . On 12 November , Ireland beat Austria in Vienna to go top of the 2018 World Cup qualifying group . Team image ( edit ) Kit ( edit ) Ireland players ( L-R ) Robbie Keane , Liam Lawrence , Keith Andrews and Greg Cunningham in a 2010 friendly against Algeria Traditionally , the team has played in a home strip of green shirt , white shorts and green socks . The second strip is usually the reverse of these colours , although there have been exceptions , such as an orange shirt in the late 1990s . Squad numbers are either white with an orange trim , on the home shirts , or green with an orange trim . The FAI logo appears at the bottom of the numbering . A limited edition grey shirt was used just once , in a match against Wales on 17 November 2007 . A black jersey with a green stripe across the chest was worn in the final game of the 2011 Nations Cup against Scotland and in a friendly against Italy in Liège , Belgium . The current kit has been supplied by Umbro since 1994 . In March 2009 , Umbro signed a deal with the FAI to keep them as kit suppliers to the team until 2020 . However New Balance will take over the contract from August 2017 .

The ground was closed for redevelopment in 2007 , with the replacement ground , the Aviva Stadium , opening on 14 May 2010 . The first soccer match in the Aviva was Manchester United against a League of Ireland XI side , managed by Damien Richardson , on 4 August 2010. ( 43 ) Manchester United won the game 7 -- 1 , with Park Ji - Sung scoring the first ever goal in the Aviva Stadium . Aviva Stadium is jointly owned by the IRFU and FAI , although it will return to solely IRFU ownership on expiry of the current 60 - year lease . The first football international played at Lansdowne Road by a FAI team was a friendly against Italy in 1971 ( an IFA team first played in 1878 against England ) ; a 5 -- 0 victory over San Marino in a UEFA Euro 2008 qualifying Group D match on 15 November 2006 was the last game there before the reconstruction . The all - seater capacity of Lansdowne Road prior to the renovation was 36,000 , although higher attendances , using the standing only areas , were permitted for friendly matches . The Aviva Stadium 's status as an all - seater increased capacity for competitive games to 51,700 . The opening game at the Aviva Stadium , a controversial 1 -- 0 friendly defeat to Argentina , was noted for Robbie Keane securing his membership in the FIFA Century Club and manager Giovanni Trapattoni 's absence due to surgery , with assistant manager Marco Tardelli taking charge . Main article : Croke Park Croke Park , the headquarters of the Gaelic Athletic Association , has been used for Irish matches . With the announcement of the rebuilding of Lansdowne Road , a new venue was required to stage the Republic of Ireland 's home internationals . The only stadium in Ireland deemed suitable to stage international football was the 84,500 capacity Croke Park , home of the Gaelic Athletic Association ( GAA ) . To accommodate this , the GAA temporarily relaxed its rule governing the playing of `` foreign '' games on its property . Initially , four UEFA Euro 2008 qualifying Group D matches were played at Croke Park in 2007 , resulting in two wins and two draws . The GAA initially agreed to allow the FAI use until the end of 2008 , and later extended the permission until the completion of Aviva Stadium . The Hill 16 end of Croke Park is a terrace , which means like Lansdowne Road before it , the capacity of the stadium was reduced to around 74,500 for competitive matches as temporary seating must be used . Prior to the 1980s , the Republic of Ireland played most home games at Dalymount Park , home of Bohemians , but progressively more games were played at Lansdowne Road following a safety review which reduced Dalymount 's capacity . The last international match played there was against Morocco in 1990 . The Republic of Ireland have also played home matches in Tolka Park ( twice ) and the RDS Arena in Dublin as well at the Mardyke and Flower Lodge grounds in Cork . These games in Cork were , until 2009 , the only two home Irish internationals played outside of Dublin . During the construction of the Aviva Stadium , two friendly games were played in Thomond Park , Limerick , in 2009 . Two further friendlies were played in the RDS Arena in May 2010 . Ireland played a friendly against Belarus in Cork 's 7,000 capacity Turners Cross stadium in May 2016 . Media coverage ( edit ) Ireland matches are broadcast by Raidió Teilifís Éireann ( RTÉ ) , Sky Sports , and Setanta Ireland . Sky Sports shows most of Irelands friendly matches , while RTÉ shows competitive games such as World Cup and European Championship qualifiers . RTÉ briefly lost its broadcast rights in 2002 when the FAI controversially sold them in a multi-million deal to Sky Sports , a subscription based satellite channel . The decision was criticised by fans and politicians , and the Consumers ' Association of Ireland ( CAI ) described the FAI as `` greedy '' . The FAI was eventually forced to reverse its decision and to allow RTÉ to continue its broadcasts after the government intervened to stop the sale of important Irish sporting events to non-terrestrial television broadcasters . RTÉ will hold the rights until 2018 . Selection and nationality issues ( edit ) The selection of young Northern Irish born players , especially those who have already represented Northern Ireland at youth level , into Republic of Ireland national teams has been controversial , as these players are able to claim Irish nationality even though born and brought up outside the Republic 's territory . This has led to accusations of unfairness and predatory behaviour . In Northern Ireland it is seen by Northern Ireland supporters as having the effect of dividing international football in their country along sectarian lines , whereby Nationalists will declare for the Republic of Ireland while Unionists continue to play for Northern Ireland . It has also been argued that it is actually the sectarian divisions , which already existed in Northern Irish football , that are a factor in a number of players switching to the Republic . Traditionally , those in the North who identify as Irish , predominantly Catholics and nationalists , support the Republic of Ireland team . Staff ( edit ) The senior men 's management team are as follows : Martin O'Neill is the team manager .

The duodenum is the first section of the small intestine in most higher vertebrates , including mammals , reptiles , and birds . In fish , the divisions of the small intestine are not as clear , and the terms anterior intestine or proximal intestine may be used instead of duodenum . In mammals the duodenum may be the principal site for iron absorption . The duodenum precedes the jejunum and ileum and is the shortest part of the small intestine . In humans , the duodenum is a hollow jointed tube about 25 -- 38 cm ( 10 -- 15 inches ) long connecting the stomach to the jejunum . It begins with the duodenal bulb and ends at the suspensory muscle of duodenum . It can be divided into four parts . Contents ( hide ) 1 Structure 1.1 First part 1.2 Second part 1.3 Third part 1.4 Fourth part 1.5 Blood supply 1.6 Lymphatic drainage 1.7 Histology 1.8 Variation 2 Function 3 Gene and protein expression 4 Clinical significance 4.1 Ulceration 4.2 Celiac disease 4.3 Other 5 Additional images 6 See also 7 Notes 8 References 9 External links Structure ( edit ) The duodenum is a 25 -- 30 cm ( 10 - 12 inch ) C - shaped structure lying adjacent to the stomach . It is divided anatomically into four sections . The first part of the duodenum lies within the peritoneum but its other parts are retroperitoneal . First part ( edit ) The first part , or superior part , of the duodenum is a continuation from the pylorus to transpyloric plane . It is superior to the rest of the segments , at the vertebral level of L1 . The duodenal bulb about 2 cm long , is the very first part of the duodenum and is slightly dilated . The duodenal bulb is a remnant of the mesoduodenum , a mesentery which suspend the organ from the posterior abdominal wall in fetal life . The first part of the duodenum is mobile , and connected to the liver by the hepatoduodenal ligament of the lesser omentum . The first part of the duodenum ends at the corner , the superior duodenal flexure . Relations : Anterior Gallbladder Quadrate lobe of liver Posterior Bile duct Gastroduodenal artery Portal vein Inferior vena cava Head of pancreas Superior Neck of gallbladder Hepatoduodenal ligament ( lesser omentum ) Inferior Neck of pancreas Greater omentum Head of pancreas Second part ( edit ) The second part , or descending part , of the duodenum begins at the superior duodenal flexure . It goes inferior to the lower border of vertebral body L3 , before making a sharp turn medially into the inferior duodenal flexure , the end of the descending part . The pancreatic duct and common bile duct enter the descending duodenum , through the major duodenal papilla . The second part of the duodenum also contains the minor duodenal papilla , the entrance for the accessory pancreatic duct . The junction between the embryological foregut and midgut lies just below the major duodenal papilla . Third part ( edit ) The third part , or horizontal part or inferior part of the duodenum begins at the inferior duodenal flexure and passes transversely to the left , passing in front of the inferior vena cava , abdominal aorta and the vertebral column . The superior mesenteric artery and vein are anterior to the third part of duodenum . This part may be compressed between the aorta and SMA causing superior mesenteric artery syndrome . Fourth part ( edit ) The fourth part , or ascending part , of the duodenum passes upward , joining with the jejunum at the duodenojejunal flexure . The fourth part of the duodenum is at the vertebral level L2 , and may pass directly on top of , or slightly left to , the aorta . Blood supply ( edit ) The duodenum receives arterial blood from two different sources . The transition between these sources is important as it demarcates the foregut from the midgut . Proximal to the 2nd part of the duodenum ( approximately at the major duodenal papilla -- where the bile duct enters ) the arterial supply is from the gastroduodenal artery and its branch the superior pancreaticoduodenal artery . Distal to this point ( the midgut ) the arterial supply is from the superior mesenteric artery ( SMA ) , and its branch the inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery supplies the 3rd and 4th sections . The superior and inferior pancreaticoduodenal arteries ( from the gastroduodenal artery and SMA respectively ) form an anastomotic loop between the celiac trunk and the SMA ; so there is potential for collateral circulation here . The venous drainage of the duodenum follows the arteries . Ultimately these veins drain into the portal system , either directly or indirectly through the splenic or superior mesenteric vein . Lymphatic drainage ( edit ) The lymphatic vessels follow the arteries in a retrograde fashion . The anterior lymphatic vessels drain into the pancreatoduodenal lymph nodes located along the superior and inferior pancreatoduodenal arteries and then into the pyloric lymph nodes ( along the gastroduodenal artery ) . The posterior lymphatic vessels pass posterior to the head of the pancreas and drain into the superior mesenteric lymph nodes . Efferent lymphatic vessels from the duodenal lymph nodes ultimately pass into the celiac lymph nodes . Histology ( edit ) Under microscopy , the duodenum has a villous mucosa . This is distinct from the mucosa of the pylorus , which directly joins to the duodenum . Like other structures of the gastrointestinal tract , the duodenum has a mucosa , submucosa , muscularis externa , and adventitia . Glands line the duodenum , known as Brunner 's glands , which secrete mucus and bicarbonate in order to neutralise stomach acids . These are distinct glands not found in the ileum or jejunum , the other parts of the small intestine . Dog Duodenum 100X Duodenum with amyloid deposition in lamina propria Section of duodenum of cat . X 60 Micrograph showing giardiasis on a duodenal biopsy ( H&E stain ) Duodenum with brush border ( microvillus ) Variation ( edit ) This section needs expansion . You can help by adding to it . ( December 2013 ) Function ( edit ) The duodenum is largely responsible for the breakdown of food in the small intestine , using enzymes . The villi of the duodenum have a leafy - looking appearance , which is a histologically identifiable structure . Brunner 's glands , which secrete mucus , are found in the duodenum only . The duodenum wall is composed of a very thin layer of cells that form the muscularis mucosae . The duodenum is almost entirely retroperitoneal . It has three parts and each part has its own significance . The duodenum also regulates the rate of emptying of the stomach via hormonal pathways . Secretin and cholecystokinin are released from cells in the duodenal epithelium in response to acidic and fatty stimuli present there when the pylorus opens and releases gastric chyme into the duodenum for further digestion . These cause the liver and gall bladder to release bile , and the pancreas to release bicarbonate and digestive enzymes such as trypsin , lipase and amylase into the duodenum as they are needed . Diagram of the human duodenum with major anatomical locations labelled . Gene and protein expression ( edit ) Further information : Bioinformatics § Gene and protein expression About 20,000 protein coding genes are expressed in human cells and 70 % of these genes are expressed in the normal duodenum . Some 300 of these genes are more specifically expressed in the duodenum with very few genes expressed only in the duodenum . The corresponding specific proteins are expressed in the duodenal mucosa and many of these are also expressed in the small intestine , such as ANPEP , a digestive enzyme , ACE an enzyme involved in control of blood pressure , and RBP2 a protein involved in the uptake of vitamin A . Clinical significance ( edit ) Ulceration ( edit ) Main article : Duodenal ulcer Ulcers of the duodenum commonly occur because of infection by the bacteria Helicobacter pylori . These bacteria , through a number of mechanisms , erode the protective mucosa of the duodenum , predisposing it to damage from gastric acids . The first part of the duodenum is the most common location of ulcers as it is where the acidic chyme meets the duodenal mucosa before mixing with the alkaline secretions of the duodenum . Duodenal ulcers may cause recurrent abdominal pain and dyspepsia , and are often investigated using a urea breath test to test for the bacteria , and endoscopy to confirm ulceration and take a biopsy . If managed , these are often managed through antibiotics that aim to eradicate the bacteria , and PPIs and antacids to reduce the gastric acidity . Celiac disease ( edit ) The British Society of Gastroenterology ( BSG ) guidelines specify that a duodenal biopsy is required for the diagnosis of adult celiac disease . The biopsy is ideally performed at a moment when the patient is on a gluten - containing diet . Other ( edit ) Other causes of disease include : Inflammation of the duodenum , known as duodenitis . Cancer of the duodenum , known as duodenal cancer .

Pancreas Notes ( edit ) Jump up ^ The name duodenum ( / ˌduːəˈdiːnəm / or / ˌduːˈɒdɪnəm / ) is from Medieval Latin , short for intestīnum duodēnum digitōrum , which may be translated : intestine of twelve finger - widths ( in length ) , from Latin duodēnum , genitive pl. of duodēnī , twelve each , from duodecim , twelve . The Latin phrase intestīnum duodēnum digitōrum is thought to be a loan - translation from the Greek word dodekadaktylon ( δώδεκαδάκτυλοv ) , literally `` twelve fingers long . '' The intestinal section was so called by Greek physician Herophilus ( c. 335 -- 280 B.C.E. ) for its length , about equal to the breadth of 15 fingers .

what advantages do solar cells have in space
Solar panels on spacecraft - wikipedia Solar panels on spacecraft Jump to : navigation , search A solar panel array of the International Space Station ( Expedition 17 crew , August 2008 ) Spacecraft operating in the inner Solar System usually rely on the use of photovoltaic solar panels to derive electricity from sunlight . In the outer solar system , where the sunlight is too weak to produce sufficient power , radioisotope thermoelectric generators ( RTGs ) are used as a power source . Contents ( hide ) 1 History 2 Uses 3 Implementation 4 Ionizing radiation issues and mitigation 5 Types of solar cells typically used 6 Spacecraft that have used solar power 7 Future uses 8 Gallery 9 See also 10 References History ( edit ) The first spacecraft to use solar panels was the Vanguard 1 satellite , launched by the US in 1958 . This was largely because of the influence of Dr. Hans Ziegler , who can be regarded as the father of spacecraft solar power . Uses ( edit ) The solar panels on the SMM satellite provided electrical power . Here it is being captured by an astronaut in a mobile space - suit that runs on chemical battery power . Solar panels on spacecraft supply power for two main uses : power to run the sensors , active heating , cooling and telemetry . power for spacecraft propulsion -- electric propulsion , sometimes called solar - electric propulsion . For both uses , a key figure of merit of the solar panels is the specific power ( watts generated divided by solar array mass ) , which indicates on a relative basis how much power one array will generate for a given launch mass relative to another . Another key metric is stowed packing efficiency ( deployed watts produced divided by stowed volume ) , which indicates how easily the array will fit into a launch vehicle . Yet another key metric is cost ( dollars per watt ) . To increase the specific power , typical solar panels on spacecraft use close - packed solar cell rectangles that cover nearly 100 % of the sun - visible area of the solar panels , rather than the solar wafer circles which , even though close - packed , cover about 90 % of the sun - visible area of typical solar panels on earth . However , some solar panels on spacecraft have solar cells that cover only 30 % of the sun - visible area . Implementation ( edit ) Diagram of the Spacecraft Bus on the planned James Webb Space Telescope , which is powered by solar panels ( coloured green in this 3 / 4 view ) . Note that shorter light purple extensions are radiator shades not solar panels . Solar panels need to have a lot of surface area that can be pointed towards the Sun as the spacecraft moves . More exposed surface area means more electricity can be converted from light energy from the Sun . Since spacecraft have to be small , this limits the amount of power that can be produced . All electrical circuits generate waste heat ; in addition , solar arrays act as optical and thermal as well as electrical collectors . Heat must be radiated from their surfaces . High - power spacecraft may have solar arrays that compete with the active payload itself for thermal dissipation . The innermost panel of arrays may be `` blank '' to reduce the overlap of views to space . Such spacecraft include the higher - power communications satellites ( e.g. , later - generation TDRS ) and Venus Express , not high - powered but closer to the Sun . Spacecraft are built so that the solar panels can be pivoted as the spacecraft moves . Thus , they can always stay in the direct path of the light rays no matter how the spacecraft is pointed . Spacecraft are usually designed with solar panels that can always be pointed at the Sun , even as the rest of the body of the spacecraft moves around , much as a tank turret can be aimed independently of where the tank is going . A tracking mechanism is often incorporated into the solar arrays to keep the array pointed towards the sun . Sometimes , satellite operators purposefully orient the solar panels to `` off point , '' or out of direct alignment from the Sun . This happens if the batteries are completely charged and the amount of electricity needed is lower than the amount of electricity made ; off - pointing is also sometimes used on the International Space Station for orbital drag reduction . Ionizing radiation issues and mitigation ( edit ) This section needs expansion . You can help by adding to it . ( June 2016 ) Juno is the second spacecraft to orbit Jupiter and the first solar - powered craft to do so . Space contains varying levels of ionizing radiation , that which includes flares and other solar events . Some satellites orbit within the protective zone of the magnetosphere , while others do not . Types of solar cells typically used ( edit ) Gallium arsenide - based solar cells are typically favored over crystalline silicon in industry because they have a higher efficiency and degrade more slowly than silicon in the radiation present in space . The most efficient solar cells currently in production are multi-junction photovoltaic cells . These use a combination of several layers of gallium arsenide , indium gallium phosphide , and germanium to capture more energy from the solar spectrum . Leading edge multi-junction cells are capable of exceeding 38.8 % under non-concentrated AM1. 5G illumination and 46 % using concentrated AM1. 5G illumination . Spacecraft that have used solar power ( edit ) To date , solar power , other than for propulsion , has been practical for spacecraft operating no farther from the Sun than the orbit of Jupiter . For example , Juno , Magellan , Mars Global Surveyor , and Mars Observer used solar power as does the Earth - orbiting , Hubble Space Telescope . The Rosetta space probe , launched 2 March 2004 , used its 64 square metres ( 690 sq ft ) of solar panels as far as the orbit of Jupiter ( 5.25 AU ) ; previously the furthest use was the Stardust spacecraft at 2 AU . Solar power for propulsion was also used on the European lunar mission SMART - 1 with a Hall effect thruster . The Juno mission , launched in 2011 , is the first mission to Jupiter ( arrived at Jupiter on July 4 , 2016 ) to use solar panels instead of the traditional RTGs that are used by previous outer solar system missions , making it the furthest spacecraft to use solar panels to date . It has 72 square metres ( 780 sq ft ) of panels . Another spacecraft of interest is Dawn which went into orbit around 4 Vesta in 2011 . It used ion thrusters to get to Ceres . The potential for solar powered spacecraft beyond Jupiter has been studied . The International Space Station also uses solar arrays to power everything on the station . The 262,400 solar cells cover around 27,000 square feet ( 2,500 m ) of space . There are four sets of solar arrays that power the station and the fourth set of arrays were installed in March 2009 . 84 to 120 kilowatts of electricity can be generated from these solar arrays . Future uses ( edit ) Flexible solar arrays are being investigated for use in space . The Roll Out Solar Array ( ROSA ) was deployed on the International Space Station in July 2017 . For future missions , it is desirable to reduce solar array mass , and to increase the power generated per unit area . This will reduce overall spacecraft mass , and may make the operation of solar - powered spacecraft feasible at larger distances from the sun . Solar array mass could be reduced with thin - film photovoltaic cells , flexible blanket substrates , and composite support structures . Solar array efficiency could be improved by using new photovoltaic cell materials and solar concentrators that intensify the incident sunlight . Photovoltaic concentrator solar arrays for primary spacecraft power are devices which intensify the sunlight on the photovoltaics . This design uses a flat lens , called a Fresnel lens , which takes a large area of sunlight and concentrates it onto a smaller spot . The same principle is used to start fires with a magnifying glass on a sunny day . Solar concentrators put one of these lenses over every solar cell . This focuses light from the large concentrator area down to the smaller cell area . This allows the quantity of expensive solar cells to be reduced by the amount of concentration . Concentrators work best when there is a single source of light and the concentrator can be pointed right at it . This is ideal in space , where the Sun is a single light source . Solar cells are the most expensive part of solar arrays , and arrays are often a very expensive part of the spacecraft . This technology may allow costs to be cut significantly due to the utilization of less material .

please order the reservoirs of the hydrosphere from largest to smallest
Hydrosphere - wikipedia Hydrosphere Jump to : navigation , search The hydrosphere ( from Greek ὕδωρ hydōr , `` water '' and σφαῖρα sphaira , `` sphere '' ) is the combined mass of water found on , under , and above the surface of a planet , minor planet or natural satellite . It has been estimated that there are 1386 million cubic kilometers of water on Earth . This includes water in liquid and frozen forms in groundwater , oceans , lakes and streams . Saltwater accounts for 97.5 % of this amount . Fresh water accounts for only 2.5 % . Of this fresh water , 68.9 % is in the form of ice and permanent snow cover in the Arctic , the Antarctic , and mountain glaciers . 30.8 % is in the form of fresh groundwater . Only 0.3 % of the fresh water on Earth is in easily accessible lakes , reservoirs and river systems . The total mass of the Earth 's hydrosphere is about 1.4 × 10 tonnes , which is about 0.023 % of Earth 's total mass . About 20 × 10 tonnes of this is in Earth 's atmosphere ( for practical purposes , 1 cubic meter of water weighs one tonne ) . Approximately 75 % of Earth 's surface , an area of some 361 million square kilometers ( 139.5 million square miles ) , is covered by ocean . The average salinity of Earth 's oceans is about 35 grams of salt per kilogram of sea water ( 3.5 % ) . Contents ( hide ) 1 Water cycle 2 Recharging reservoirs 3 Specific fresh water availability 4 See also 5 Notes 6 References 7 External links Water cycle ( edit ) Main article : Water cycle The water cycle refers to the transfer of water from one state or reservoir to another . Reservoirs include atmospheric moisture ( snow , rain and clouds ) , streams , oceans , rivers , lakes , groundwater , subterranean aquifers , polar ice caps and saturated soil . Solar energy , in the form of heat and light ( insolation ) , and gravity cause the transfer from one state to another over periods from hours to thousands of years . Most evaporation comes from the oceans and is returned to the earth as snow or rain . Sublimation refers to evaporation from snow and ice . Transpiration refers to the expiration of water through the minute pores or stomata of trees . Evapotranspiration is the term used by hydrologists in reference to the three processes together , transpiration , sublimation and evaporation . Marq de Villiers has described the hydrosphere as a closed system in which water exists . The hydrosphere is intricate , complex , interdependent , all - pervading and stable and `` seems purpose - built for regulating life . '' De Villiers claimed that , `` On earth , the total amount of water has almost certainly not changed since geological times : what we had then we still have . Water can be polluted , abused , and misused but it is neither created nor destroyed , it only migrates . There is no evidence that water vapor escapes into space . '' `` Every year the turnover of water on Earth involves 577,000 km of water . This is water that evaporates from the oceanic surface ( 502,800 km ) and from land ( 74,200 km ) . The same amount of water falls as atmospheric precipitation , 458,000 km on the ocean and 119,000 km on land . The difference between precipitation and evaporation from the land surface ( 119,000 - 74,200 = 44,800 km / year ) represents the total runoff of the Earth 's rivers ( 42,700 km / year ) and direct groundwater runoff to the ocean ( 2100 km / year ) . These are the principal sources of fresh water to support life necessities and man 's economic activities . '' Water is a basic necessity of life . Since 2 / 3 of the Earth is covered by water , the Earth is also called the blue planet and the watery planet . Hydrosphere plays an important role in the existence of the atmosphere in its present form . Oceans are important in this regard . When the Earth was formed it had only a very thin atmosphere rich in hydrogen and helium similar to the present atmosphere of Mercury . Later the gases hydrogen and helium were expelled from the atmosphere . The gases and water vapor released as the Earth cooled became its present atmosphere . Other gases and water vapor released by volcanoes also entered the atmosphere . As the Earth cooled the water vapor in the atmosphere condensed and fell as rain . The atmosphere cooled further as atmospheric carbon dioxide dissolved in to rain water . In turn this further caused the water vapor to condense and fall as rain . This rain water filled the depressions on the Earth 's surface and formed the oceans . It is estimated that this occurred about 4000 million years ago . The first life forms began in the oceans . These organisms did not breathe oxygen . Later , when cyanobacteria evolved , the process of conversion of carbon dioxide into food and oxygen began . As a result , Earth 's atmosphere has a distinctly different composition from that of other planets and allowed for life to evolve on Earth . Recharging reservoirs ( edit ) According to Igor A. Shiklomanov , it takes 2500 years for the complete recharge and replenishment of oceanic waters , 10,000 years for permafrost and ice , 1500 years for deep groundwater and mountainous glaciers , 17 years in lakes and 16 days in rivers . Specific fresh water availability ( edit ) `` Specific water availability is the residual ( after use ) per capita quantity of fresh water . '' Fresh water resources are unevenly distributed in terms of space and time and can go from floods to water shortages within months in the same area . In 1998 76 % of the total population had a specific water availability of less than 5.0 thousand m3 per year per capita . Already by 1998 , 35 % of the global population suffered `` very low or catastrophically low water supplies '' and Shiklomanov predicted that the situation would deteriorate in the twenty - first century with `` most of the Earth 's population will be living under the conditions of low or catastrophically low water supply '' by 2025 . There is only 2.5 % of fresh water in the hydrosphere and only 0.25 % of water is accessible for our use .

Originally chartered as the `` Governor and Company of Merchants of London trading into the East Indies '' , the company rose to account for half of the world 's trade , particularly in basic commodities including cotton , silk , indigo dye , salt , saltpetre , tea , and opium . The company also ruled the beginnings of the British Empire in India . The company received a Royal Charter from Queen Elizabeth I on 31 December 1600 , making it the oldest among several similarly formed European East India Companies . Wealthy merchants and aristocrats owned the company 's shares . Initially the government owned no shares and had only indirect control . During its first century of operation , the focus of the company was trade , not the building of an empire in India . Company interests turned from trade to territory during the 18th century as the Mughal Empire declined in power and the East India Company struggled with its French counterpart , the French East India Company ( Compagnie française des Indes orientales ) during the Carnatic Wars of the 1740s and 1750s . The Battle of Plassey and Battle of Buxar , in which the British , led by Robert Clive , defeated the Indian powers , left the company in control of Bengal and a major military and political power in India . In the following decades it gradually increased the extent of the territories under its control , ruling the whole Indian subcontinent either directly or indirectly via local puppet rulers under the threat of force by its Presidency armies , much of which were composed of native Indian sepoys . By 1803 , at the height of its rule in India , the British East India company had a private army of about 260,000 -- twice the size of the British Army . The company eventually came to rule large areas of India with its private armies , exercising military power and assuming administrative functions . Company rule in India effectively began in 1757 and lasted until 1858 , when , following the Indian Rebellion of 1857 , the Government of India Act 1858 led to the British Crown 's assuming direct control of the Indian subcontinent in the form of the new British Raj . Despite frequent government intervention , the company had recurring problems with its finances . It was dissolved in 1874 as a result of the East India Stock Dividend Redemption Act passed one year earlier , as the Government of India Act had by then rendered it vestigial , powerless , and obsolete . The official government machinery of British India had assumed its governmental functions and absorbed its armies .

Permission was granted , and on 10 April 1591 three ships sailed from Torbay around the Cape of Good Hope to the Arabian Sea on one of the earliest English overseas Indian expeditions . One of them , Edward Bonaventure , then sailed around Cape Comorin to the Malay Peninsula and returned to England in 1594 . In 1596 , three more ships sailed east but were all lost at sea . Three years later , on 22 September 1599 , another group of merchants met and stated their intention `` to venture in the pretended voyage to the East Indies ( the which it may please the Lord to prosper ) , and the sums that they will adventure '' , committing £ 30,133 . Two days later , on 24 September , `` the Adventurers '' reconvened and resolved to apply to the Queen for support of the project . Although their first attempt had not been completely successful , they nonetheless sought the Queen 's unofficial approval to continue , bought ships for their venture and increased their capital to £ 68,373 . The Adventurers convened again a year later . This time they succeeded , and on 31 December 1600 , the Queen granted a Royal Charter to `` George , Earl of Cumberland , and 215 Knights , Aldermen , and Burgesses '' under the name , Governor and Company of Merchants of London trading with the East Indies . For a period of fifteen years the charter awarded the newly formed company a monopoly on trade with all countries east of the Cape of Good Hope and west of the Straits of Magellan . Any traders in breach of the charter without a licence from the company were liable to forfeiture of their ships and cargo ( half of which went to the Crown and the other half to the company ) , as well as imprisonment at the `` royal pleasure '' . The governance of the company was in the hands of one governor and 24 directors or `` committees '' , who made up the Court of Directors . They , in turn , reported to the Court of Proprietors , which appointed them . Ten committees reported to the Court of Directors . According to tradition , business was initially transacted at the Nags Head Inn , opposite St Botolph 's church in Bishopsgate , before moving to India House in Leadenhall Street . Early voyages to the East Indies ( edit ) East India House , London , painted by Thomas Malton in c. 1800 Sir James Lancaster commanded the first East India Company voyage in 1601 and returned in 1603 . In March 1604 Sir Henry Middleton commanded the second voyage . General William Keeling , a captain during the second voyage , led the third voyage aboard the Red Dragon from 1607 to 1610 along with the Hector under Captain William Hawkins and the Consent under Captain David Middleton . Early in 1608 Alexander Sharpeigh was appointed captain of the company 's Ascension , and general or commander of the fourth voyage . Thereafter two ships , Ascension and Union ( captained by Richard Rowles ) sailed from Woolwich on 14 March 1607 -- 08 . Initially , the company struggled in the spice trade because of the competition from the already well - established Dutch East India Company . The company opened a factory in Bantam on the first voyage , and imports of pepper from Java were an important part of the company 's trade for twenty years . The factory in Bantam was closed in 1683 . During this time ships belonging to the company arriving in India docked at Surat , which was established as a trade transit point in 1608 . In the next two years , the company established its first factory in south India in the town of Machilipatnam on the Coromandel Coast of the Bay of Bengal . The high profits reported by the company after landing in India initially prompted King James I to grant subsidiary licences to other trading companies in England . But in 1609 he renewed the charter given to the company for an indefinite period , including a clause that specified that the charter would cease to be in force if the trade turned unprofitable for three consecutive years . Foothold in India ( edit ) See also : Establishment of English trade in Bengal ( 1600 -- 1700 ) Red Dragon fought the Portuguese at the Battle of Swally in 1612 , and made several voyages to the East Indies . Jahangir investing a courtier with a robe of honour , watched by Sir Thomas Roe , English ambassador to the court of Jahangir at Agra from 1615 to 1618 , and others English traders frequently engaged in hostilities with their Dutch and Portuguese counterparts in the Indian Ocean . The company achieved a major victory over the Portuguese in the Battle of Swally in 1612 , at Suvali in Surat . The company decided to explore the feasibility of gaining a territorial foothold in mainland India , with official sanction from both Britain and the Mughal Empire , and requested that the Crown launch a diplomatic mission . In 1612 , James I instructed Sir Thomas Roe to visit the Mughal Emperor Nuruddin Salim Jahangir ( r . 1605 -- 1627 ) to arrange for a commercial treaty that would give the company exclusive rights to reside and establish factories in Surat and other areas . In return , the company offered to provide the Emperor with goods and rarities from the European market . This mission was highly successful , and Jahangir sent a letter to James through Sir Thomas Roe : Upon which assurance of your royal love I have given my general command to all the kingdoms and ports of my dominions to receive all the merchants of the English nation as the subjects of my friend ; that in what place soever they choose to live , they may have free liberty without any restraint ; and at what port soever they shall arrive , that neither Portugal nor any other shall dare to molest their quiet ; and in what city soever they shall have residence , I have commanded all my governors and captains to give them freedom answerable to their own desires ; to sell , buy , and to transport into their country at their pleasure . For confirmation of our love and friendship , I desire your Majesty to command your merchants to bring in their ships of all sorts of rarities and rich goods fit for my palace ; and that you be pleased to send me your royal letters by every opportunity , that I may rejoice in your health and prosperous affairs ; that our friendship may be interchanged and eternal . -- Nuruddin Salim Jahangir , Letter to James I . Expansion ( edit ) The company , which benefited from the imperial patronage , soon expanded its commercial trading operations . It eclipsed the Portuguese Estado da Índia , which had established bases in Goa , Chittagong , and Bombay , which Portugal later ceded to England as part of the dowry of Catherine of Braganza on her marriage to King Charles II . The East India Company also launched a joint attack with the Dutch United East India Company ( VOC ) on Portuguese and Spanish ships off the coast of China , which helped secure EIC ports in China . The company established trading posts in Surat ( 1619 ) , Madras ( 1639 ) , Bombay ( 1668 ) , and Calcutta ( 1690 ) . By 1647 , the company had 23 factories , each under the command of a factor or master merchant and governor , and 90 employees in India . The major factories became the walled forts of Fort William in Bengal , Fort St George in Madras , and Bombay Castle . In 1634 , the Mughal emperor extended his hospitality to the English traders to the region of Bengal , and in 1717 completely waived customs duties for their trade . The company 's mainstay businesses were by then cotton , silk , indigo dye , saltpetre , and tea . The Dutch were aggressive competitors and had meanwhile expanded their monopoly of the spice trade in the Straits of Malacca by ousting the Portuguese in 1640 -- 41 . With reduced Portuguese and Spanish influence in the region , the EIC and VOC entered a period of intense competition , resulting in the Anglo - Dutch Wars of the 17th and 18th centuries . Competition arose in 1635 when Charles I granted a trading licence to Sir William Courteen , which permitted the rival Courteen association to trade with the east at any location in which the EIC had no presence . In 1657 , Oliver Cromwell renewed the charter of 1609 , and brought about minor changes in the holding of the company . The restoration of monarchy in England further enhanced the EIC 's status . In an act aimed at strengthening the power of the EIC , King Charles II granted the EIC ( in a series of five acts around 1670 ) the rights to autonomous territorial acquisitions , to mint money , to command fortresses and troops and form alliances , to make war and peace , and to exercise both civil and criminal jurisdiction over the acquired areas . William Hedges was sent in 1682 to Shaista Khan , the Mughal governor of Bengal , to obtain a firman , an imperial directive that would grant England regular trading privileges throughout the Mughal Empire . However , the company 's governor in London , Sir Josiah Child , interfered with Hedges 's mission , causing Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb to break off the negotiations . In 1689 a Mughal fleet commanded by Sidi Yaqub attacked Bombay . After a year of resistance the EIC surrendered in 1690 , and the company sent envoys to Aurangzeb 's camp to plead for a pardon . The company 's envoys had to prostrate themselves before the emperor , pay a large indemnity , and promise better behaviour in the future . The emperor withdrew his troops , and the company subsequently re-established itself in Bombay and set up a new base in Calcutta . Eventually , the East India Company seized control of Bengal and slowly the whole Indian subcontinent with its private armies , composed primarily of Indian sepoys . As historian William Dalrymple observes , We still talk about the British conquering India , but that phrase disguises a more sinister reality . It was not the British government that seized India at the end of the 18th century , but a dangerously unregulated private company headquartered in one small office , five windows wide , in London , and managed in India by an unstable sociopath -- ( Robert ) Clive . Japan ( edit ) Document with the original vermilion seal of Tokugawa Ieyasu , granting trade privileges in Japan to the East India Company in 1613 In 1613 , during the rule of Tokugawa Hidetada of the Tokugawa shogunate , the British ship Clove , under the command of Captain John Saris , was the first British ship to call on Japan . Saris was the chief factor of the EIC 's trading post in Java , and with the assistance of William Adams , a British sailor who had arrived in Japan in 1600 , he was able to gain permission from the ruler to establish a commercial house in Hirado on the Japanese island of Kyushu : We give free license to the subjects of the King of Great Britaine , Sir Thomas Smythe , Governor and Company of the East Indian Merchants and Adventurers forever safely come into any of our ports of our Empire of Japan with their shippes and merchandise , without any hindrance to them or their goods , and to abide , buy , sell and barter according to their own manner with all nations , to tarry here as long as they think good , and to depart at their pleasure . However , unable to obtain Japanese raw silk for import to China and with their trading area reduced to Hirado and Nagasaki from 1616 onwards , the company closed its factory in 1623 . Mughal convoy piracy incident of 1695 ( edit ) In September 1695 , Captain Henry Every , an English patna pirate on board the Fancy , reached the Straits of Bab - el - Mandeb , where he teamed up with five other pirate captains to make an attack on the Indian fleet making the annual voyage to Mocha . The Mughal convoy included the treasure - laden Ganj - i - Sawai , reported to be the greatest in the Mughal fleet and the largest ship operational in the Indian Ocean , and its escort , the Fateh Muhammed . They were spotted passing the straits en route to Surat . The pirates gave chase and caught up with Fateh Muhammed some days later , and meeting little resistance , took some £ 50,000 to £ 60,000 worth of treasure . English , Dutch and Danish factories at Mocha Every continued in pursuit and managed to overhaul Ganj - i - Sawai , which resisted strongly before eventually striking . Ganj - i - Sawai carried enormous wealth and , according to contemporary East India Company sources , was carrying a relative of the Grand Mughal , though there is no evidence to suggest that it was his daughter and her retinue . The loot from the Ganj - i - Sawai had a total value between £ 325,000 and £ 600,000 , including 500,000 gold and silver pieces , and has become known as the richest ship ever taken by pirates . In a letter sent to the Privy Council by Sir John Gayer , then governor of Bombay and head of the East India Company , Gayer claims that `` it is certain the Pirates ... did do very barbarously by the People of the Ganj - i - Sawai and Abdul Ghaffar 's ship , to make them confess where their money was . '' The pirates set free the survivors who were left aboard their emptied ships , to continue their voyage back to India . When the news arrived in England it caused an outcry . In response , a combined bounty of £ 1,000 was offered for Every 's capture by the Privy Council and East India Company , leading to the first worldwide manhunt in recorded history . The plunder of Aurangzeb 's treasure ship had serious consequences for the English East India Company . The furious Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb ordered Sidi Yaqub and Nawab Daud Khan to attack and close four of the company 's factories in India and imprison their officers , who were almost lynched by a mob of angry Mughals , blaming them for their countryman 's depredations , and threatened to put an end to all English trading in India . To appease Emperor Aurangzeb and particularly his Grand Vizier Asad Khan , Parliament exempted Every from all of the Acts of Grace ( pardons ) and amnesties it would subsequently issue to other pirates .

The company developed a lobby in the English parliament . Under pressure from ambitious tradesmen and former associates of the company ( pejoratively termed Interlopers by the company ) , who wanted to establish private trading firms in India , a deregulating act was passed in 1694 . This allowed any English firm to trade with India , unless specifically prohibited by act of parliament , thereby annulling the charter that had been in force for almost 100 years . By an act that was passed in 1698 , a new `` parallel '' East India Company ( officially titled the English Company Trading to the East Indies ) was floated under a state - backed indemnity of £ 2 million . The powerful stockholders of the old company quickly subscribed a sum of £ 315,000 in the new concern , and dominated the new body . The two companies wrestled with each other for some time , both in England and in India , for a dominant share of the trade . It quickly became evident that , in practice , the original company faced scarcely any measurable competition . The companies merged in 1708 , by a tripartite indenture involving both companies and the state . Under this arrangement , the merged company lent to the Treasury a sum of £ 3,200,000 , in return for exclusive privileges for the next three years , after which the situation was to be reviewed . The amalgamated company became the United Company of Merchants of England Trading to the East Indies . Company painting depicting an official of the East India Company , c. 1760 In the following decades there was a constant battle between the company lobby and the Parliament . The company sought a permanent establishment , while the Parliament would not willingly allow it greater autonomy and so relinquish the opportunity to exploit the company 's profits . In 1712 , another act renewed the status of the company , though the debts were repaid . By 1720 , 15 % of British imports were from India , almost all passing through the company , which reasserted the influence of the company lobby . The licence was prolonged until 1766 by yet another act in 1730 . At this time , Britain and France became bitter rivals . Frequent skirmishes between them took place for control of colonial possessions . In 1742 , fearing the monetary consequences of a war , the British government agreed to extend the deadline for the licensed exclusive trade by the company in India until 1783 , in return for a further loan of £ 1 million . Between 1756 and 1763 , the Seven Years ' War diverted the state 's attention towards consolidation and defence of its territorial possessions in Europe and its colonies in North America . The war took place on Indian soil , between the company troops and the French forces . In 1757 , the Law Officers of the Crown delivered the Pratt - Yorke opinion distinguishing overseas territories acquired by right of conquest from those acquired by private treaty . The opinion asserted that , while the Crown of Great Britain enjoyed sovereignty over both , only the property of the former was vested in the Crown . With the advent of the Industrial Revolution , Britain surged ahead of its European rivals . Demand for Indian commodities was boosted by the need to sustain the troops and the economy during the war , and by the increased availability of raw materials and efficient methods of production . As home to the revolution , Britain experienced higher standards of living . Its spiralling cycle of prosperity , demand and production had a profound influence on overseas trade . The company became the single largest player in the British global market . William Henry Pyne notes in his book The Microcosm of London ( 1808 ) that : On the 1 March 1801 , the debts of the East India Company to £ 5,393,989 their effects to £ 15,404,736 and their sales increased since February 1793 , from £ 4,988,300 to £ 7,602,041 . Saltpetre trade ( edit ) Saltpetre used for gunpowder was one of the major trade goods of the company . Sir John Banks , a businessman from Kent who negotiated an agreement between the king and the company , began his career in a syndicate arranging contracts for victualling the navy , an interest he kept up for most of his life . He knew that Samuel Pepys and John Evelyn had amassed a substantial fortune from the Levant and Indian trades . He became a Director and later , as Governor of the East India Company in 1672 , he arranged a contract which included a loan of £ 20,000 and £ 30,000 worth of saltpetre -- also known as potassium nitrate , a primary ingredient in gunpowder -- for the King `` at the price it shall sell by the candle '' -- that is by auction -- where bidding could continue as long as an inch - long candle remained alight . Outstanding debts were also agreed and the company permitted to export 250 tons of saltpetre . Again in 1673 , Banks successfully negotiated another contract for 700 tons of saltpetre at £ 37,000 between the king and the company . So urgent was the need to supply the armed forces in the United Kingdom , America and elsewhere that the authorities sometimes turned a blind eye on the untaxed sales . One governor of the company was even reported as saying in 1864 that he would rather have the saltpetre made than the tax on salt . Basis for the monopoly ( edit ) Colonial monopoly ( edit ) Further information : Great Britain in the Seven Years ' War East India Company silver coin issued during William IV 's reign , Indian Museum Coins issued by East India Company during reign of Shah Alam II , Indian Museum Robert Clive became the first British Governor of Bengal after he had instated Mir Jafar as the Nawab of Bengal . The Seven Years ' War ( 1756 -- 63 ) resulted in the defeat of the French forces , limited French imperial ambitions , and stunted the influence of the Industrial Revolution in French territories . Robert Clive , the Governor General , led the company to a victory against Joseph François Dupleix , the commander of the French forces in India , and recaptured Fort St George from the French . The company took this respite to seize Manila in 1762 . By the Treaty of Paris , France regained the five establishments captured by the British during the war ( Pondichéry , Mahe , Karikal , Yanam and Chandernagar ) but was prevented from erecting fortifications and keeping troops in Bengal ( art . XI ) . Elsewhere in India , the French were to remain a military threat , particularly during the War of American Independence , and up to the capture of Pondichéry in 1793 at the outset of the French Revolutionary Wars without any military presence . Although these small outposts remained French possessions for the next two hundred years , French ambitions on Indian territories were effectively laid to rest , thus eliminating a major source of economic competition for the company . East India company army and navy ( edit ) Main article : Presidency armies Main article : Company rule in India In its first century and half , the EIC used a few hundred soldiers as guards . The great expansion came after 1750 , when it had 3,000 regular troops . By 1763 , it had 26,000 ; by 1778 , it had 67,000 . It recruited largely Indian troops , and trained them along European lines . The military arm of the East India Company quickly developed to become a private corporate armed force , and was used as an instrument of geo - political power and expansion , rather than its original purpose as a guard force , and became the most powerful military force in the Indian sub-continent . As it increased in size the army was broken into the Presidency Armies of Bengal , Madras and Bombay each recruiting their own integral infantry , cavalry , artillery and horse artillery units . The navy also grew significantly , vastly expanding its fleet and although made up predominantly of heavily armed merchant vessels , called East Indiamen , it also included warships . Expansion and conquest ( edit ) The company , fresh from a colossal victory , and with the backing of its own private well - disciplined and experienced army , was able to assert its interests in the Carnatic region from its base at Madras and in Bengal from Calcutta , without facing any further obstacles from other colonial powers . The Mughal Emperor Shah Alam II , who with his allies fought against the East India Company during his early years ( 1760 -- 64 ) , only accepting the protection of the British in the year 1803 , after he had been blinded by his enemies and deserted by his subjects It continued to experience resistance from local rulers during its expansion . Robert Clive led company forces against Siraj Ud Daulah , the last independent Nawab of Bengal , Bihar , and Midnapore district in Odisha to victory at the Battle of Plassey in 1757 , resulting in the conquest of Bengal . This victory estranged the British and the Mughals , since Siraj Ud Daulah was a Mughal feudatory ally . With the gradual weakening of the Marathas in the aftermath of the three Anglo - Maratha wars , the British also secured the Ganges - Jumna Doab , the Delhi - Agra region , parts of Bundelkhand , Broach , some districts of Gujarat , the fort of Ahmmadnagar , province of Cuttack ( which included Mughalbandi / the coastal part of Odisha , Garjat / the princely states of Odisha , Balasore Port , parts of Midnapore district of West Bengal ) , Bombay ( Mumbai ) and the surrounding areas , leading to a formal end of the Maratha empire and firm establishment of the British East India Company in India . Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan , the rulers of the Kingdom of Mysore , offered much resistance to the British forces . Having sided with the French during the Revolutionary War , the rulers of Mysore continued their struggle against the company with the four Anglo - Mysore Wars . Mysore finally fell to the company forces in 1799 , in the fourth Anglo - Mysore war during which Tipu Sultan was killed . Battle of Assaye during the Second Anglo - Maratha War . Company replaced the Marathas as Mughal 's protectors after the second Anglo - Maratha war . The fall of Tipu Sultan and the Sultanate of Mysore , during the Battle of Seringapatam in 1799 The last vestiges of local administration were restricted to the northern regions of Delhi , Oudh , Rajputana , and Punjab , where the company 's presence was ever increasing amidst infighting and offers of protection among the remaining princes . The hundred years from the Battle of Plassey in 1757 to the Indian Rebellion of 1857 were a period of consolidation for the company , during which it seized control of the entire Indian subcontinent and functioned more as an administrator and less as a trading concern . A cholera pandemic began in Bengal , then spread across India by 1820 . 10,000 British troops and countless Indians died during this pandemic . Between 1760 and 1834 only some 10 % of the East India Company 's officers survived to take the final voyage home . In the early 19th century the Indian question of geopolitical dominance and empire holding remained with the East India Company . The three independent armies of the company 's Presidencies , with some locally raised irregular forces , expanded to a total of 280,000 men by 1857 . First recruited from mercenaries and low - caste volunteers , the Bengal Army especially eventually became composed largely of high - caste Hindus and landowning Muslims . Within the Army , British officers who initially trained at the company 's own academy at the Addiscombe Military Seminary , always outranked Indians , no matter how long their service . The highest rank to which an Indian soldier could aspire was Subadar - Major ( or Rissaldar - Major in cavalry units ) , effectively a senior subaltern equivalent . Promotion for both British and Indian soldiers was strictly by seniority , so Indian soldiers rarely reached the commissioned ranks of Jamadar or Subadar before they were middle aged at best . They received no training in administration or leadership to make them independent of their British officers . During the wars against the French and their allies in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries , the East India Company 's armies were used to seize the colonial possessions of other European nations , including the islands of Réunion and Mauritius . There was a systemic disrespect in the company for the spreading of Protestantism although it fostered respect for Hindu and Muslim , castes and ethnic groups . The growth of tensions between the EIC and the local religious and cultural groups grew in the 19th century as the Protestant revival grew in Great Britain . These tensions erupted at the Indian Rebellion of 1857 and the company ceased to exist when the company dissolved through the East India Stock Dividend Redemption Act 1873 . Opium trade ( edit ) Main articles : First Opium War , Second Opium War , and History of opium in China The Nemesis destroying Chinese war junks during the Second Battle of Chuenpi , 7 January 1841 , by Edward Duncan In the 18th century , Britain had a huge trade deficit with Qing dynasty China and so , in 1773 , the company created a British monopoly on opium buying in Bengal , India by prohibiting the licensing of opium farmers and private cultivation . The monopoly system established in 1799 continued with minimal changes until 1947 . As the opium trade was illegal in China , Company ships could not carry opium to China . So the opium produced in Bengal was sold in Calcutta on condition that it be sent to China . Despite the Chinese ban on opium imports , reaffirmed in 1799 by the Jiaqing Emperor , the drug was smuggled into China from Bengal by traffickers and agency houses such as Jardine , Matheson & Co and Dent & Co. in amounts averaging 900 tons a year . The proceeds of the drug - smugglers landing their cargoes at Lintin Island were paid into the company 's factory at Canton and by 1825 , most of the money needed to buy tea in China was raised by the illegal opium trade . The company established a group of trading settlements centred on the Straits of Malacca called the Straits Settlements in 1826 to protect its trade route to China and to combat local piracy . The settlements were also used as penal settlements for Indian civilian and military prisoners . In 1838 with the amount of smuggled opium entering China approaching 1,400 tons a year , the Chinese imposed a death penalty for opium smuggling and sent a Special Imperial Commissioner , Lin Zexu , to curb smuggling . This resulted in the First Opium War ( 1839 -- 42 ) . After the war Hong Kong island was ceded to Britain under the Treaty of Nanking and the Chinese market opened to the opium traders of Britain and other nations . The Jardines and Apcar and Company dominated the trade , although P&O also tried to take a share . A Second Opium War fought by Britain and France against China lasted from 1856 until 1860 and led to the Treaty of Tientsin , which legalised the importation of opium . Legalisation stimulated domestic Chinese opium production and increased the importation of opium from Turkey and Persia . This increased competition for the Chinese market led to India 's reducing its opium output and diversifying its exports .

( December 2011 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Writers ( edit ) The Destruction of Tea at Boston Harbor , 1773 The company employed many junior clerks , known as `` writers '' , to record the details of accounting , managerial decisions , and activities related to the company , such as minutes of meetings , copies of Company orders and contracts , and filings of reports and copies of ship 's logs . Several well - known British scholars and literary men had Company writerships , such as Henry Thomas Colebrooke in India and Charles Lamb in England . Financial troubles ( edit ) Though the company was becoming increasingly bold and ambitious in putting down resisting states , it was becoming clearer that the company was incapable of governing the vast expanse of the captured territories . The Bengal famine of 1770 , in which one - third of the local population died , caused distress in Britain . Military and administrative costs mounted beyond control in British - administered regions in Bengal because of the ensuing drop in labour productivity . At the same time , there was commercial stagnation and trade depression throughout Europe . The directors of the company attempted to avert bankruptcy by appealing to Parliament for financial help . This led to the passing of the Tea Act in 1773 , which gave the company greater autonomy in running its trade in the American colonies , and allowed it an exemption from tea import duties which its colonial competitors were required to pay . When the American colonists and tea merchants were told of this Act , they boycotted the company tea . Although the price of tea had dropped because of the Act , it also validated the Townshend Acts , setting the precedent for the king to impose additional taxes in the future . The arrival of tax - exempt Company tea , undercutting the local merchants , triggered the Boston Tea Party in the Province of Massachusetts Bay , one of the major events leading up to the American Revolution . Regulating Acts of Parliament ( edit ) East India company Act 1773 ( edit ) By the Regulating Act of 1773 ( later known as the East India Company Act 1773 ) , the Parliament of Great Britain imposed a series of administrative and economic reforms ; this clearly established Parliament 's sovereignty and ultimate control over the company . The Act recognised the company 's political functions and clearly established that the `` acquisition of sovereignty by the subjects of the Crown is on behalf of the Crown and not in its own right '' . Despite stiff resistance from the East India lobby in parliament and from the company 's shareholders , the Act passed . It introduced substantial governmental control and allowed British India to be formally under the control of the Crown , but leased back to the company at £ 40,000 for two years . Under the Act 's most important provision , a governing Council composed of five members was created in Calcutta . The three members nominated by Parliament and representing the Government 's interest could , and invariably would , outvote the two Company members . The Council was headed by Warren Hastings , the incumbent Governor , who became the first Governor - General of Bengal , with an ill - defined authority over the Bombay and Madras Presidencies . His nomination , made by the Court of Directors , would in future be subject to the approval of a Council of Four appointed by the Crown . Initially , the Council consisted of Lt. General Sir John Clavering , The Honourable Sir George Monson , Sir Richard Barwell , and Sir Philip Francis . Nawab Mubarak Ali Khan with his son in the Nawab 's Durbar with British Resident , Sir John Hadley Hastings was entrusted with the power of peace and war . British judges and magistrates would also be sent to India to administer the legal system . The Governor General and the council would have complete legislative powers . The company was allowed to maintain its virtual monopoly over trade in exchange for the biennial sum and was obligated to export a minimum quantity of goods yearly to Britain . The costs of administration were to be met by the company . The company initially welcomed these provisions , but the annual burden of the payment contributed to the steady decline of its finances . East India company Act 1784 ( Pitt 's India Act ) ( edit ) The East India Company Act 1784 ( Pitt 's India Act ) had two key aspects : Relationship to the British government : the bill differentiated the East India Company 's political functions from its commercial activities . In political matters the East India Company was subordinated to the British government directly . To accomplish this , the Act created a Board of Commissioners for the Affairs of India , usually referred to as the Board of Control . The members of the Board were the Chancellor of the Exchequer , the Secretary of State , and four Privy Councillors , nominated by the King . The act specified that the Secretary of State `` shall preside at , and be President of the said Board '' . Internal Administration of British India : the bill laid the foundation for the centralised and bureaucratic British administration of India which would reach its peak at the beginning of the 20th century during the governor - generalship of George Nathaniel Curzon , 1st Baron Curzon . Pitt 's Act was deemed a failure because it quickly became apparent that the boundaries between government control and the company 's powers were nebulous and highly subjective . The government felt obliged to respond to humanitarian calls for better treatment of local peoples in British - occupied territories . Edmund Burke , a former East India Company shareholder and diplomat , was moved to address the situation and introduced a new Regulating Bill in 1783 . The bill was defeated amid lobbying by company loyalists and accusations of nepotism in the bill 's recommendations for the appointment of councillors . Act of 1786 ( edit ) General Lord Cornwallis , receiving two of Tipu Sultan 's sons as hostages in the year 1793 The Act of 1786 ( 26 Geo. 3 c. 16 ) enacted the demand of Earl Cornwallis that the powers of the Governor - General be enlarged to empower him , in special cases , to override the majority of his Council and act on his own special responsibility . The Act enabled the offices of the Governor - General and the Commander - in - Chief to be jointly held by the same official . This Act clearly demarcated borders between the Crown and the company . After this point , the company functioned as a regularised subsidiary of the Crown , with greater accountability for its actions and reached a stable stage of expansion and consolidation . Having temporarily achieved a state of truce with the Crown , the company continued to expand its influence to nearby territories through threats and coercive actions . By the middle of the 19th century , the company 's rule extended across most of India , Burma , Malaya , Singapore , and British Hong Kong , and a fifth of the world 's population was under its trading influence . In addition , Penang , one of the states in Malaya , became the fourth most important settlement , a presidency , of the company 's Indian territories . East India company Act 1793 ( charter Act ) ( edit ) The company 's charter was renewed for a further 20 years by the Charter Act of 1793 . In contrast with the legislative proposals of the previous two decades , the 1793 Act was not a particularly controversial measure , and made only minimal changes to the system of government in India and to British oversight of the company 's activities . East India Company Act 1813 ( Charter Act ) ( edit ) Major - General Wellesley , meeting with Nawab Azim al - Daula , 1805 The aggressive policies of Lord Wellesley and the Marquess of Hastings led to the company 's gaining control of all India ( except for the Punjab and Sindh ) , and some part of the then kingdom of Nepal under the Sugauli Treaty . The Indian Princes had become vassals of the company . But the expense of wars leading to the total control of India strained the company 's finances . The company was forced to petition Parliament for assistance . This was the background to the Charter Act of 1813 which , among other things : asserted the sovereignty of the British Crown over the Indian territories held by the company ; renewed the charter of the company for a further twenty years , but deprived the company of its Indian trade monopoly except for trade in tea and the trade with China required the company to maintain separate and distinct its commercial and territorial accounts opened India to missionaries Government of India Act 1833 ( edit ) File : India 1835 2 Mohurs. jpg 1835 gold Double Mohur ( reverse ) , valued at 30 Rupees The Industrial Revolution in Britain , the consequent search for markets , and the rise of laissez - faire economic ideology form the background to the Government of India Act 1833 ( 3 & 4 Will . 4 c. 85 ) . The Act : removed the company 's remaining trade monopolies and divested it of all its commercial functions renewed for another twenty years the company 's political and administrative authority invested the Board of Control with full power and authority over the company . As stated by Professor Sri Ram Sharma , `` The President of the Board of Control now became Minister for Indian Affairs . '' carried further the ongoing process of administrative centralisation through investing the Governor - General in Council with , full power and authority to superintend and , control the Presidency Governments in all civil and military matters initiated a machinery for the codification of laws provided that no Indian subject of the company would be debarred from holding any office under the company by reason of his religion , place of birth , descent or colour vested the Island of St Helena in the Crown British influence continued to expand ; in 1845 , Great Britain purchased the Danish colony of Tranquebar . The company had at various stages extended its influence to China , the Philippines , and Java . It had solved its critical lack of cash needed to buy tea by exporting Indian - grown opium to China . China 's efforts to end the trade led to the First Opium War ( 1839 -- 1842 ) . View of the Calcutta port in 1848 English education Act 1835 ( edit ) Main article : English Education Act 1835 The English Education Act by the Council of India in 1835 reallocated funds from the East India Company to spend on education and literature in India . Government of India Act 1853 ( edit ) This Act ( 16 & 17 Vict . c. 95 ) provided that British India would remain under the administration of the company in trust for the Crown until Parliament should decide otherwise . It also introduced a system of open competition as the basis of recruitment for civil servants of the company and thus deprived the Directors of their patronage system . Under the act , for the first time the legislative and executive powers of the governor general 's council were separated . It also added six additional members to the governor general 's executive committee . Indian Rebellion and disestablishment ( edit ) Main article : Indian Rebellion of 1857 Capture of the last Mughal emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar and his sons by William Hodson in 1857 The Indian Rebellion of 1857 ( also known as the Indian Mutiny ) resulted in widespread devastation in India : many condemned the East India Company for permitting the events to occur . In the aftermath of the Rebellion , under the provisions of the Government of India Act 1858 , the British Government nationalised the company . The Crown took over its Indian possessions , its administrative powers and machinery , and its armed forces . The company remained in existence in vestigial form , continuing to manage the tea trade on behalf of the British Government ( and the supply of Saint Helena ) until the East India Stock Dividend Redemption Act 1873 came into effect , on 1 January 1874 . This Act provided for the formal dissolution of the company on 1 June 1874 , after a final dividend payment and the commutation or redemption of its stock . The Times commented on 8 April 1873 : It accomplished a work such as in the whole history of the human race no other trading Company ever attempted , and such as none , surely , is likely to attempt in the years to come . Establishments in Britain ( edit ) The expanded East India House , Leadenhall Street , London , as reconstructed in 1796 -- 1800 . A drawing by Thomas Hosmer Shepherd of c. 1817 . The company 's headquarters in London , from which much of India was governed , was East India House in Leadenhall Street . After occupying premises in Philpot Lane from 1600 to 1621 ; in Crosby House , Bishopsgate , from 1621 to 1638 ; and in Leadenhall Street from 1638 to 1648 , the company moved into Craven House , an Elizabethan mansion in Leadenhall Street . The building had become known as East India House by 1661 . It was completely rebuilt and enlarged in 1726 -- 9 ; and further significantly remodelled and expanded in 1796 -- 1800 . It was finally vacated in 1860 and demolished in 1861 -- 62 . The site is now occupied by the Lloyd 's building . In 1607 , the company decided to build its own ships and leased a yard on the River Thames at Deptford . By 1614 , the yard having become too small , an alternative site was acquired at Blackwall : the new yard was fully operational by 1617 . It was sold in 1656 , although for some years East India Company ships continued to be built and repaired there under the new owners . In 1803 , an Act of Parliament , promoted by the East India Company , established the East India Dock Company , with the aim of establishing a new set of docks ( the East India Docks ) primarily for the use of ships trading with India . The existing Brunswick Dock , part of the Blackwall Yard site , became the Export Dock ; while a new Import Dock was built to the north . In 1838 the East India Dock Company merged with the West India Dock Company . The docks were taken over by the Port of London Authority in 1909 , and closed in 1967 . Addiscombe Seminary , photographed in c. 1859 , with cadets in the foreground The East India College was founded in 1806 as a training establishment for `` writers '' ( i.e. clerks ) in the company 's service . It was initially located in Hertford Castle , but moved in 1809 to purpose - built premises at Hertford Heath , Hertfordshire . In 1858 the college closed ; but in 1862 the buildings reopened as a public school , now Haileybury and Imperial Service College . The East India Company Military Seminary was founded in 1809 at Addiscombe , near Croydon , Surrey , to train young officers for service in the company 's armies in India . It was based in Addiscombe Place , an early 18th - century mansion . The government took it over in 1858 , and renamed it the Royal Indian Military College . In 1861 it was closed , and the site was subsequently redeveloped . In 1818 , the company entered into an agreement by which those of its servants who were certified insane in India might be cared for at Pembroke House , Hackney , London , a private lunatic asylum run by Dr George Rees until 1838 , and thereafter by Dr William Williams . The arrangement outlasted the company itself , continuing until 1870 , when the India Office opened its own asylum , the Royal India Asylum , at Hanwell , Middlesex . The East India Club in London was formed in 1849 for officers of the company . The Club still exists today as a private gentlemen 's club with its club house situated at 16 St. James 's Square , London . Legacy and criticisms ( edit ) This section needs expansion . You can help by adding to it . ( March 2015 ) The East India Company had a long lasting impact on the Indian Subcontinent , with both positive and harmful effects . Although dissolved following the rebellion of 1857 , it stimulated the growth of the British Empire . Its armies were to become the armies of British India after 1857 , and it played a key role in introducing English as an official language in India . The East India Company was the first company to record the Chinese usage of orange - flavoured tea , which led to the development of Earl Grey tea . The East India Company introduced a system of merit - based appointments that provided a model for the British and Indian civil service . Widespread corruption and looting of Bengal resources and treasures during its rule resulted in poverty . Famines , such as the Great Bengal famine of 1770 and subsequent famines during the 18th and 19th centuries , became more widespread , chiefly because of exploitative agriculture promulgated by the policies of the East India company and the forced cultivation of opium in place of grain . Symbols ( edit ) Flags ( edit ) Historical depictions Downman ( 1685 ) Lens ( 1700 ) National Geographic ( 1917 ) Rees ( 1820 ) Laurie ( 1842 ) Modern depictions 1600 -- 1707 1707 -- 1801 1801 -- 1874 The English East India Company flag changed with history , with a canton based on the current flag of the Kingdom , and a field of 9 to 13 alternating red and white stripes . From the period of 1600 , the canton consisted of a St George 's Cross representing the Kingdom of England . With the Acts of Union 1707 , the canton was updated to be the new Union Flag -- consisting of an English St George 's Cross combined with a Scottish St Andrew 's cross -- representing the Kingdom of Great Britain . After the Acts of Union 1800 that joined Ireland with Great Britain to form the United Kingdom , the canton of the East India Company flag was altered accordingly to include a Saint Patrick 's Saltire replicating the updated Union Flag representing the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland . Regarding the field of the flag , there has been much debate and discussion regarding the number and order of the stripes . Historical documents and paintings show many variations from 9 to 13 stripes , with some images showing the top stripe 's being red and others showing the top stripe being white . At the time of the American Revolution the East India Company flag was nearly identical to the Grand Union Flag . Historian Charles Fawcett argued that the East India Company Flag inspired the Stars and Stripes . Coat of arms ( edit ) The later coat of arms of the East India Company The East India Company 's original coat of arms was granted in 1600 . The arms was as follows : `` Azure , three ships with three masts , rigged and under full sail , the sails , pennants and ensigns Argent , each charged with a cross Gules ; on a chief of the second a pale quarterly Azure and Gules , on the 1st and 4th a fleur - de-lis or , on the 2nd and 3rd a leopard or , between two roses Gules seeded Or barbed Vert . '' The shield had as a crest : `` A sphere without a frame , bounded with the Zodiac in bend Or , between two pennants flottant Argent , each charged with a cross Gules , over the sphere the words DEUS INDICAT '' ( Latin : God Indicates ) . The supporters were two sea lions ( lions with fishes ' tails ) and the motto was DEO DUCENTE NIL NOCET ( Latin : Where God Leads , Nothing Harms ) . The East India Company 's arms , granted in 1698 , were : `` Argent a cross Gules ; in the dexter chief quarter an escutcheon of the arms of France and England quarterly , the shield ornamentally and regally crowned Or . '' The crest was : `` A lion rampant guardant Or holding between the forepaws a regal crown proper . '' The supporters were : `` Two lions rampant guardant Or , each supporting a banner erect Argent , charged with a cross Gules . '' The motto was AUSPICIO REGIS ET SENATUS ANGLIÆ ( Latin : Under the auspices of the King and the Senate of England ) . Merchant mark ( edit ) HEIC Merchant 's mark on East India Company Coin : 1791 Half Pice HEIC Merchant 's mark on a Blue Scinde Dawk postage stamp ( 1852 ) When the East India Company was chartered in 1600 , it was still customary for individual merchants or members of Companies such as the Company of Merchant Adventurers to have a distinguishing merchant 's mark which often included the mystical `` Sign of Four '' and served as a trademark . The East India Company 's merchant mark consisted of a `` Sign of Four '' atop a heart within which was a saltire between the lower arms of which were the initials `` EIC '' . This mark was a central motif of the East India Company 's coinage and forms the central emblem displayed on the Scinde Dawk postage stamps . Ships ( edit ) See also : East Indiaman and List of ports of call of the British East India Company Ships in Bombay Harbour , c. 1731 Ships of the East India Company were called East Indiamen or simply `` Indiamen '' . The East Indiaman Royal George , 1779 . Royal George was one of the five East Indiamen the Spanish fleet captured in 1780 . During the period of the Napoleonic Wars , the East India Company arranged for letters of marque for its vessels such as the Lord Nelson . This was not so that they could carry cannon to fend off warships , privateers and pirates on their voyages to India and China ( that they could do without permission ) but so that , should they have the opportunity to take a prize , they could do so without being guilty of piracy . Similarly , the Earl of Mornington , an East India Company packet ship of only six guns , also sailed under a letter of marque . In addition , the company had its own navy , the Bombay Marine , equipped with warships such as Grappler . These vessels often accompanied vessels of the Royal Navy on expeditions , such as the Invasion of Java . At the Battle of Pulo Aura , which was probably the company 's most notable naval victory , Nathaniel Dance , Commodore of a convoy of Indiamen and sailing aboard the Warley , led several Indiamen in a skirmish with a French squadron , driving them off . Some six years earlier , on 28 January 1797 , five Indiamen , the Woodford , under Captain Charles Lennox , the Taunton - Castle , Captain Edward Studd , Canton , Captain Abel Vyvyan , Boddam , Captain George Palmer , and Ocean , Captain John Christian Lochner , had encountered Admiral de Sercey and his squadron of frigates . On this occasion the Indiamen also succeeded in bluffing their way to safety , and without any shots even being fired . Lastly , on 15 June 1795 , the General Goddard played a large role in the capture of seven Dutch East Indiamen off St Helena . East India Company ( EIC ) 's ships were well built , with the result that the Royal Navy bought several Company ships to convert to warships and transports . The Earl of Mornington became HMS Drake . Other examples include : HMS Calcutta ( 1795 ) HMS Glatton ( 1795 ) HMS Hindostan ( 1795 ) HMS Hindostan ( 1804 ) HMS Malabar ( 1804 ) HMS Buffalo ( 1813 ) Records ( edit ) Main article : India Office Records Unlike all other British Government records , the records from the East India Company ( and its successor the India Office ) are not in The National Archives at Kew , London , but are held by the British Library in London as part of the Asia , Pacific and Africa Collections . The catalogue is searchable online in the Access to Archives catalogues . Many of the East India Company records are freely available online under an agreement that the Families in British India Society has with the British Library . Published catalogues exist of East India Company ships ' journals and logs , 1600 -- 1834 ; and of some of the company 's daughter institutions , including the East India Company College , Haileybury , and Addiscombe Military Seminary .

See also : Parliament of Scotland , Parliament of Ireland The Parliament of England was the legislature of the Kingdom of England , existing from the early 13th century until 1707 , when it became the Parliament of Great Britain after the political union of England and Scotland created the Kingdom of Great Britain . In 1066 , William of Normandy introduced what , in later centuries , became referred to as a feudal system , by which he sought the advice of a council of tenants - in - chief ( a person who held land ) and ecclesiastics before making laws . In 1215 , the tenants - in - chief secured Magna Carta from King John , which established that the king may not levy or collect any taxes ( except the feudal taxes to which they were hitherto accustomed ) , save with the consent of his royal council , which gradually developed into a parliament . Over the centuries , the English Parliament progressively limited the power of the English monarchy which arguably culminated in the English Civil War and the trial and execution of Charles I in 1649 . After the restoration of the monarchy under Charles II , and the subsequent Glorious Revolution of 1688 , the supremacy of Parliament was a settled principle and all future English and later British sovereigns were restricted to the role of constitutional monarchs with limited executive authority . The Act of Union 1707 merged the English Parliament with the Parliament of Scotland to form the Parliament of Great Britain . When the Parliament of Ireland was abolished in 1801 , its former members were merged into what was now called the Parliament of the United Kingdom .

Early kings of England had no standing army or police , and so depended on the support of powerful subjects . The monarchy had agents in every part of the country . However , under the feudal system that evolved in England following the Norman Conquest of 1066 , the laws of the Crown could not have been upheld without the support of the nobility and the clergy . The former had economic and military power bases of their own through major ownership of land and the feudal obligations of their tenants ( some of whom held lands on condition of military service ) . The Church was virtually a law unto itself in this period as it had its own system of religious law courts . In order to seek consultation and consent from the nobility and the senior clergy on major decisions , post-Norman Conquest English monarchs called Great Councils . A typical Great Council would consist of archbishops , bishops , abbots , barons and earls , the pillars of the feudal system . When this system of consultation and consent broke down , it often became impossible for government to function effectively . The most prominent instances of this prior to the reign of Henry III are the disagreements between Thomas Becket and Henry II and between King John and the barons . Becket , who served as Archbishop of Canterbury between 1162 and 1170 , was murdered following a long running dispute with Henry II over the jurisdiction of the Church . John , who was king from 1199 to 1216 , aroused such hostility from many leading noblemen that they forced him to agree to Magna Carta in 1215 . John 's refusal to adhere to this charter led to civil war ( see First Barons ' War ) . The Great Council evolved into the Parliament of England . The term ( French parlement or Latin parlamentum ) came into use during the early 13th century , when it shifted from the more general meaning of `` an occasion for speaking . '' It first appears in official documents in the 1230s . As a result of the work by historians G.O. Sayles and H.G. Richardson , it is widely believed that the early parliaments had a judicial as well as a legislative function . During the 13th and 14th centuries , the kings began to call Knights of the Shire to meet when the monarch saw it as necessary . A notable example of this was in 1254 when sheriffs of counties were instructed to send Knights of the Shire to parliament to advise the king on finance . Initially , parliaments were mostly summoned when the king needed to raise money through taxes . Following the Magna Carta this became a convention . This was due in no small part to the fact that King John died in 1216 and was succeeded by his young son Henry III . Leading peers and clergy governed on Henry 's behalf until he came of age , giving them a taste for power that they would prove unwilling to relinquish . Among other things , they made sure that Magna Carta would be reaffirmed by the young king . Parliament in the reign of Henry III ( edit ) Once the reign of John ended and Henry III took full control of the government , leading peers became increasingly concerned with his style of government , specifically his unwillingness to consult them on decisions he took , and his seeming patronisation of his foreign relatives over his native subjects . Henry 's support of a disastrous papal invasion of Sicily was the last straw . In 1258 , seven leading barons forced Henry to swear to uphold the Provisions of Oxford , superseded , the following year , by the Provisions of Westminster . This effectively abolished the absolutist Anglo - Norman monarchy , giving power to a council of fifteen barons , and providing for a thrice - yearly meeting of parliament to monitor their performance . Parliament assembled six times between June 1258 and April 1262 , most notably at Oxford in 1258 . The French - born nobleman Simon de Montfort , Earl of Leicester , emerged as the leader of this characteristically English rebellion . In the following years , those supporting Montfort and those supporting the king grew more hostile to each other . Henry obtained a papal bull in 1263 exempting him from his oath and both sides began to raise armies . At the Battle of Lewes on 14 May 1264 , Henry was defeated and taken prisoner by Montfort 's army . However , many of the peers who had initially supported Montfort began to suspect that he had gone too far with his reforming zeal . His support amongst the nobility rapidly declined . So in 1264 , Montfort summoned the first parliament in English history without any prior royal authorisation . The archbishops , bishops , abbots , earls and barons were summoned , as were two knights from each shire and two burgesses from each borough . Knights had been summoned to previous councils , but the representation of the boroughs was unprecedented . This was purely a move to consolidate Montfort 's position as the legitimate governor of the kingdom , since he had captured Henry and his son Prince Edward ( later Edward I ) at the Battle of Lewes . A parliament consisting of representatives of the realm was the logical way for Montfort to establish his authority . In calling this parliament , in a bid to gain popular support , he summoned knights and burgesses from the emerging landed gentry class , thus turning to his advantage the fact that most of the nobility had abandoned his movement . This parliament was summoned on 14 December 1264 . It first met on 20 January 1265 in Westminster Hall and was dissolved on 15 February 1265 . It is not certain who actually attended this parliament . Nonetheless , Montfort 's scheme was formally adopted by Edward I in the so - called `` Model Parliament '' of 1295 . The attendance at parliament of knights and burgesses historically became known as the summoning of `` the Commons '' , a term derived from the Norman French word `` commune '' , literally translated as the `` community of the realm '' . Following Edward 's escape from captivity , Montfort was defeated and killed at the Battle of Evesham in 1265 . Henry 's authority was restored and the Provisions of Oxford were forgotten , but this was nonetheless a turning point in the history of the Parliament of England . Although he was not obliged by statute to do so , Henry summoned the Commons to parliament three times between September 1268 and April 1270 . However , this was not a significant turning point in the history of parliamentary democracy . Subsequently , very little is known about how representatives were selected because , at this time , being sent to parliament was not a prestigious undertaking . But Montfort 's decision to summon knights of the shires and burgesses to his parliament did mark the irreversible emergence of the landed gentry as a force in politics . From then on , monarchs could not ignore them , which explains Henry 's decision to summon the Commons to several of his post-1265 parliaments . Even though many peers who had supported the Provisions of Oxford remained active in English public life throughout Henry 's reign , the conditions they had laid down for regular parliaments were largely forgotten , as if to symbolise the historical development of the English Parliament via convention rather than statutes and written constitutions . The emergence of parliament as an institution ( edit ) A 16th - century depiction of Edward 's parliament During the reign of Edward I , which began in 1272 , the role of Parliament in the government of the English kingdom increased due to Edward 's determination to unite England , Wales and Scotland under his rule by force . He was also keen to unite his subjects in order to restore his authority and not face rebellion as was his father 's fate . Edward therefore encouraged all sectors of society to submit petitions to parliament detailing their grievances in order for them to be resolved . This seemingly gave all of Edward 's subjects a potential role in government and this helped Edward assert his authority . Both the Statute of Westminster 1275 and Statute of Westminster 1285 , with the assistance of Robert Burnell , codified the existing law in England . As the number of petitions being submitted to parliament increased , they came to be dealt with , and often ignored , more and more by ministers of the Crown so as not to block the passage of government business through parliament . However the emergence of petitioning is significant because it is some of the earliest evidence of parliament being used as a forum to address the general grievances of ordinary people . Submitting a petition to parliament is a tradition that continues to this day in the Parliament of the United Kingdom and in most Commonwealth realms . These developments symbolise the fact that parliament and government were by no means the same thing by this point . If monarchs were going to impose their will on their kingdom , they would have to control parliament rather than be subservient to it . From Edward 's reign onwards , the authority of the English Parliament would depend on the strength or weakness of the incumbent monarch . When the king or queen was strong he or she would wield enough influence to pass their legislation through parliament without much trouble . Some strong monarchs even bypassed it completely , although this was not often possible in the case of financial legislation due to the post-Magna Carta convention of parliament granting taxes . When weak monarchs governed , parliament often became the centre of opposition against them . Subsequently , the composition of parliaments in this period varied depending on the decisions that needed to be taken in them . The nobility and senior clergy were always summoned . From 1265 onwards , when the monarch needed to raise money through taxes , it was usual for knights and burgesses to be summoned too . However , when the king was merely seeking advice , he often only summoned the nobility and the clergy , sometimes with and sometimes without the knights of the shires . On some occasions the Commons were summoned and sent home again once the monarch was finished with them , allowing parliament to continue without them . It was not until the mid-14th century that summoning representatives of the shires and the boroughs became the norm for all parliaments . One of the moments that marked the emergence of parliament as a true institution in England was the deposition of Edward II . Even though it is debatable whether Edward II was deposed in parliament or by parliament , this remarkable sequence of events consolidated the importance of parliament in the English unwritten constitution . Parliament was also crucial in establishing the legitimacy of the king who replaced Edward II : his son Edward III . In 1341 the Commons met separately from the nobility and clergy for the first time , creating what was effectively an Upper Chamber and a Lower Chamber , with the knights and burgesses sitting in the latter . This Upper Chamber became known as the House of Lords from 1544 onward , and the Lower Chamber became known as the House of Commons , collectively known as the Houses of Parliament . The authority of parliament grew under Edward III ; it was established that no law could be made , nor any tax levied , without the consent of both Houses and the Sovereign . This development occurred during the reign of Edward III because he was involved in the Hundred Years ' War and needed finances . During his conduct of the war , Edward tried to circumvent parliament as much as possible , which caused this edict to be passed . The Commons came to act with increasing boldness during this period . During the Good Parliament ( 1376 ) , the Presiding Officer of the lower chamber , Sir Peter de la Mare , complained of heavy taxes , demanded an accounting of the royal expenditures , and criticised the king 's management of the military . The Commons even proceeded to impeach some of the king 's ministers . The bold Speaker was imprisoned , but was soon released after the death of Edward III . During the reign of the next monarch , Richard II , the Commons once again began to impeach errant ministers of the Crown . They insisted that they could not only control taxation , but also public expenditure . Despite such gains in authority , however , the Commons still remained much less powerful than the House of Lords and the Crown . This period also saw the introduction of a franchise which limited the number of people who could vote in elections for the House of Commons . From 1430 onwards , the franchise was limited to Forty Shilling Freeholders , that is men who owned freehold property worth forty shillings or more . The Parliament of England legislated the new uniform county franchise , in the statute 8 Hen. 6 , c. 7 . The Chronological Table of the Statutes does not mention such a 1430 law , as it was included in the Consolidated Statutes as a recital in the Electors of Knights of the Shire Act 1432 ( 10 Hen. 6 , c. 2 ) , which amended and re-enacted the 1430 law to make clear that the resident of a county had to have a forty shilling freehold in that county to be a voter there . King , Lords and Commons ( edit ) During the reign of the Tudor monarchs the modern structure of the English Parliament began to be created . The Tudor monarchy was powerful , and there were often periods of several years when parliament did not sit at all . However the Tudor monarchs were astute enough to realise that they needed parliament to legitimise many of their decisions , mostly out of a need to raise money through taxation legitimately without causing discontent . Thus they consolidated the state of affairs whereby monarchs would call and close parliament as and when they needed it . By the time Henry Tudor ( Henry VII ) came to the throne in 1485 the monarch was not a member of either the Upper Chamber or the Lower Chamber . Consequently , the monarch would have to make his or her feelings known to Parliament through his or her supporters in both houses . Proceedings were regulated by the presiding officer in either chamber . From the 1540s the presiding officer in the House of Commons became formally known as the `` Speaker '' , having previously been referred to as the `` prolocutor '' or `` parlour '' ( a semi-official position , often nominated by the monarch , that had existed ever since Peter de Montfort had acted as the presiding officer of the Oxford Parliament of 1258 ) . This was not an enviable job . When the House of Commons was unhappy it was the Speaker who had to deliver this news to the monarch . This began the tradition whereby the Speaker of the House of Commons is dragged to the Speaker 's Chair by other members once elected . A member of either chamber could present a `` bill '' to parliament . Bills supported by the monarch were often proposed by members of the Privy Council who sat in parliament . In order for a bill to become law it would have to be approved by a majority of both Houses of Parliament before it passed to the monarch for royal assent or veto . The royal veto was applied several times during the 16th and 17th centuries and it is still the right of the monarch of the United Kingdom and Commonwealth realms to veto legislation today , although it has not been exercised since 1707 ( today such exercise would presumably precipitate a constitutional crisis ) . When a bill was enacted into law , this process gave it the approval of each estate of the realm : the King , Lords , and Commons . In reality , this was not a democratic process . The Parliament of England was far from being a democratically representative institution in this period . It was possible to assemble the entire peerage and senior clergy of the realm in one place to form the estate of the Upper Chamber . However , the voting franchise for the House of Commons was small ; some historians estimate that it was as little as three per cent of the adult male population ; and there was no secret ballot . This meant that elections could be controlled by local grandees , because in many boroughs a majority of voters were in some way dependent on a powerful individual , or else could be bought by money or concessions . If these grandees were supporters of the incumbent monarch , this gave the Crown and its ministers considerable influence over the business of parliament . Many of the men elected to parliament did not relish the prospect of having to act in the interests of others . So a law was enacted , still on the statute book today , whereby it became unlawful for members of the House of Commons to resign their seat unless they were granted a position directly within the patronage of the monarchy ( today this latter restriction leads to a legal fiction allowing de facto resignation despite the prohibition , but nevertheless it is a resignation which needs the permission of the Crown ) . However , it must be emphasised that while several elections to parliament in this period were in some way corrupt by modern standards , many elections involved genuine contests between rival candidates , even though the ballot was not secret . It was in this period that the Palace of Westminster was established as the seat of the English Parliament . In 1548 , the House of Commons was granted a regular meeting place by the Crown , St Stephen 's Chapel . This had been a royal chapel . It was made into a debating chamber after Henry VIII became the last monarch to use the Palace of Westminster as a place of residence and following the suppression of the college there . This room became the home of the House of Commons until it was destroyed by fire in 1834 , although the interior was altered several times up until then . The structure of this room was pivotal in the development of the Parliament of England . While most modern legislatures sit in a circular chamber , the benches of the British Houses of Parliament are laid out in the form of choir stalls in a chapel , simply because this is the part of the original room that the members of the House of Commons utilised when they were granted use of St Stephen 's Chapel . This structure took on a new significance with the emergence of political parties in the late 17th and early 18th centuries , as the tradition began whereby the members of the governing party would sit on the benches to the right of the Speaker and the opposition members on the benches to the left . It is said that the Speaker 's chair was placed in front of the chapel 's altar . As Members came and went they observed the custom of bowing to the altar and continued to do so , even when it had been taken away , thus then bowing to the Chair , as is still the custom today . The numbers of the Lords Spiritual diminished under Henry VIII , who commanded the Dissolution of the Monasteries , thereby depriving the abbots and priors of their seats in the Upper House . For the first time , the Lords Temporal were more numerous than the Lords Spiritual . Currently , the Lords Spiritual consist of the Archbishops of Canterbury and York , the Bishops of London , Durham and Winchester , and twenty - one other English diocesan bishops in seniority of appointment to a diocese . The Laws in Wales Acts of 1535 -- 42 annexed Wales as part of England and this brought Welsh representatives into the Parliament of England , first elected in 1542 .

But parliamentary criticism of the monarchy reached new levels in the 17th century . When the last Tudor monarch , Elizabeth I , died in 1603 , King James VI of Scotland came to power as King James I , founding the Stuart monarchy . In 1628 , alarmed by the arbitrary exercise of royal power , the House of Commons submitted to Charles I the Petition of Right , demanding the restoration of their liberties . Though he accepted the petition , Charles later dissolved parliament and ruled without them for eleven years . It was only after the financial disaster of the Scottish Bishops ' Wars ( 1639 -- 1640 ) that he was forced to recall Parliament so that they could authorise new taxes . This resulted in the calling of the assemblies known historically as the Short Parliament of 1640 and the Long Parliament , which sat with several breaks and in various forms between 1640 and 1660 . The Long Parliament was characterised by the growing number of critics of the king who sat in it . The most prominent of these critics in the House of Commons was John Pym . Tensions between the king and his parliament reached boiling point in January 1642 when Charles entered the House of Commons and tried , unsuccessfully , to arrest Pym and four other members for their alleged treason . The five members had been tipped off about this , and by the time Charles came into the chamber with a group of soldiers they had disappeared . Charles was further humiliated when he asked the Speaker , William Lenthall , to give their whereabouts , which Lenthall famously refused to do . From then on relations between the king and his parliament deteriorated further . When trouble started to brew in Ireland , both Charles and his parliament raised armies to quell the uprisings by native Catholics there . It was not long before it was clear that these forces would end up fighting each other , leading to the English Civil War which began with the Battle of Edgehill in October 1642 : those supporting the cause of parliament were called Parliamentarians ( or Roundheads ) . Battles between Crown and Parliament would continue throughout the 17th and 18th centuries , but parliament was no longer subservient to the English monarchy . This change was symbolised in the execution of Charles I in January 1649 . It is somewhat ironic that this event was not instigated by the elected representatives of the realm . In Pride 's Purge of December 1648 , the New Model Army ( which by then had emerged as the leading force in the parliamentary alliance ) purged Parliament of members that did not support them . The remaining `` Rump Parliament '' , as it was later referred to by critics , enacted legislation to put the king on trial for treason . This trial , the outcome of which was a foregone conclusion , led to the execution of the king and the start of an 11 - year republic . The House of Lords was abolished and the purged House of Commons governed England until April 1653 , when army chief Oliver Cromwell dissolved it following disagreements over religious policy and how to carry out elections to parliament . Cromwell later convened a parliament of religious radicals in 1653 , commonly known as Barebone 's Parliament , followed by the unicameral First Protectorate Parliament that sat from September 1654 to January 1655 and the Second Protectorate Parliament that sat in two sessions between 1656 and 1658 , the first session was unicameral and the second session was bicameral . Although it is easy to dismiss the English Republic of 1649 - 60 as nothing more than a Cromwellian military dictatorship , the events that took place in this decade were hugely important in determining the future of parliament . First , it was during the sitting of the first Rump Parliament that members of the House of Commons became known as `` MPs '' ( Members of Parliament ) . Second , Cromwell gave a huge degree of freedom to his parliaments , although royalists were barred from sitting in all but a handful of cases . His vision of parliament appears to have been largely based on the example of the Elizabethan parliaments . However , he underestimated the extent to which Elizabeth I and her ministers had directly and indirectly influenced the decision - making process of her parliaments . He was thus always surprised when they became troublesome . He ended up dissolving each parliament that he convened . Yet it is worth noting that the structure of the second session of the Second Protectorate Parliament of 1658 was almost identical to the parliamentary structure consolidated in the Glorious Revolution Settlement of 1689 . In 1653 Cromwell had been made head of state with the title Lord Protector of the Realm . The Second Protectorate Parliament offered him the crown . Cromwell rejected this offer , but the governmental structure embodied in the final version of the Humble Petition and Advice was a basis for all future parliaments . It proposed an elected House of Commons as the Lower Chamber , a House of Lords containing peers of the realm as the Upper Chamber , and a constitutional monarchy , subservient to parliament and the laws of the nation , as the executive arm of the state at the top of the tree , assisted in carrying out their duties by a Privy Council . Oliver Cromwell had thus inadvertently presided over the creation of a basis for the future parliamentary government of England . In 1657 he had the Parliament of Scotland unified with the English Parliament . In terms of the evolution of parliament as an institution , by far the most important development during the republic was the sitting of the Rump Parliament between 1649 and 1653 . This proved that parliament could survive without a monarchy and a House of Lords if it wanted to . Future English monarchs would never forget this . Charles I was the last English monarch ever to enter the House of Commons . Even to this day , a Member of the Parliament of the United Kingdom is sent to Buckingham Palace as a ceremonial hostage during the State Opening of Parliament , in order to ensure the safe return of the sovereign from a potentially hostile parliament . During the ceremony the monarch sits on the throne in the House of Lords and signals for the Lord Great Chamberlain to summon the House of Commons to the Lords Chamber . The Lord Great Chamberlain then raises his wand of office to signal to the Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod , who has been waiting in the central lobby . Black Rod turns and , escorted by the doorkeeper of the House of Lords and an inspector of police , approaches the doors to the chamber of the Commons . The doors are slammed in his face -- symbolising the right of the Commons to debate without the presence of the Queen 's representative . He then strikes three times with his staff ( the Black Rod ) , and he is admitted . Parliament from the restoration to the Act of Settlement ( edit ) The revolutionary events that occurred between 1620 and 1689 all took place in the name of parliament . The new status of parliament as the central governmental organ of the English state was consolidated during the events surrounding the Restoration of the monarchy in 1660 . Following the death of Oliver Cromwell in September 1658 , his son Richard Cromwell succeeded him as Lord Protector , summoning the Third Protectorate Parliament in the process . When this parliament was dissolved following pressure from the army in April 1659 , the Rump Parliament was recalled at the insistence of the surviving army grandees . This in turn was dissolved in a coup led by army general John Lambert , leading to the formation of the Committee of Safety , dominated by Lambert and his supporters . When the breakaway forces of George Monck invaded England from Scotland where they had been stationed -- without Lambert 's supporters putting up a fight -- Monck temporarily recalled the Rump Parliament and reversed Pride 's Purge by recalling the entirety of the Long Parliament . They then voted to dissolve themselves and call new elections , which were arguably the most democratic for 20 years although the franchise was still very small . This led to the calling of the Convention Parliament which was dominated by royalists . This parliament voted to reinstate the monarchy and the House of Lords . Charles II returned to England as king in May 1660 . The Anglo - Scottish parliamentary union that Cromwell had established was dissolved in 1661 when the Scottish Parliament resumed its separate meeting place in Edinburgh . The Restoration began the tradition whereby all governments looked to parliament for legitimacy . In 1681 Charles II dissolved parliament and ruled without them for the last four years of his reign . This followed bitter disagreements between the king and parliament that had occurred between 1679 and 1681 . Charles took a big gamble by doing this . He risked the possibility of a military showdown akin to that of 1642 . However he rightly predicted that the nation did not want another civil war . Parliament disbanded without a fight . Events that followed ensured that this would be nothing but a temporary blip . Charles II died in 1685 and he was succeeded by his brother James II . During his lifetime Charles had always pledged loyalty to the Protestant Church of England , despite his private Catholic sympathies . James was openly Catholic . He attempted to lift restrictions on Catholics taking up public offices . This was bitterly opposed by Protestants in his kingdom . They invited William of Orange , a Protestant who had married Mary , daughter of James II and Anne Hyde to invade England and claim the throne . William assembled an army estimated at 15,000 soldiers ( 11,000 foot and 4000 horse ) and landed at Brixham in southwest England in November , 1688 . When many Protestant officers , including James 's close adviser , John Churchill , 1st Duke of Marlborough , defected from the English army to William 's invasion force , James fled the country . Parliament then offered the Crown to his Protestant daughter Mary , instead of his son ( James Francis Edward Stuart ) . Mary refused the offer , and instead William and Mary ruled jointly , with both having the right to rule alone on the other 's death . As part of the compromise in allowing William to be King -- called the Glorious Revolution -- Parliament was able to have the 1689 Bill of Rights enacted . Later the 1701 Act of Settlement was approved . These were statutes that lawfully upheld the prominence of parliament for the first time in English history . These events marked the beginning of the English constitutional monarchy and its role as one of the three elements of parliament . Union : the parliament of Great Britain ( edit ) Main article : Parliament of Great Britain Following the Treaty of Union in 1707 , Acts of Parliament passed in the Parliament of England and the Parliament of Scotland created a new Kingdom of Great Britain and dissolved both parliaments , replacing them with a new Parliament of Great Britain based in the former home of the English parliament . The Parliament of Great Britain later became the Parliament of the United Kingdom in 1801 when the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland was formed through the Act of Union 1800 .

Founded in 2008 , the team played its home matches at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai . On 14 July 2015 , the Supreme Court appointed RM Lodha committee which suspended the Super Kings from the IPL for a period of two years for the alleged involvement of their owners in the 2013 Indian Premier League betting case . Prior to the suspension , the team was captained by Mahendra Singh Dhoni and coached by Stephen Fleming . The Super Kings had won the title twice in succession ( 2010 and 2011 ) . In 2010 , they won the Champions League Twenty20 for the first time and repeated the feat in 2014 . They have played 8 Final in Total including CLT - 20 and IPL. They have reached IPL playoffs each and every time . They held the record of most wins as a T20 Side till 2017 even after being banned for 2 years. They are regarded as the Best IPL Team of all . The leading run - scorer of the team is Suresh Raina , while the leading wicket - taker is Ravichandran Ashwin . The brand value of the Super Kings in 2015 was estimated at $67 million , making them the third most valuable franchise in the IPL .

In January 2008 , the BCCI unveiled the owners of eight city - based franchises . The Chennai franchise was sold to the India Cements for $91 million , making it the fourth most expensive team in the league behind Mumbai , Bangalore and Hyderabad . India Cements acquired the rights to the franchise for 10 years . Former ICC Chairman N. Srinivasan was the de facto owner of the Chennai Super Kings , by means of his position as the vice-chairman and managing director of India Cements Ltd . The franchisee was transferred to a separate entity named Chennai Super Kings Cricket Ltd. , after the Supreme Court of India struck down the controversial amendment to the BCCI constitution 's clause 6.2. 4 that allowed board officials to have a commercial interest in the IPL and the Champions League T20 on January 22 , 2015 . Team history ( edit ) 2008 -- 2009 : first seasons ( edit ) Main articles : Chennai Super Kings in 2008 and 2009 Chennai Super Kings playing the Kolkata Knight Riders at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium in the 2008 Indian Premier League . During the first player auctions for the inaugural IPL season conducted in January 2008 , the Chennai franchise bought a number of contemporary star cricketers such as Mahendra Singh Dhoni , Matthew Hayden , Stephen Fleming , Muttiah Muralitharan and Michael Hussey . Dhoni became the costliest player of the auction , as the Chennai franchise bought him for $1.5 million . The franchise named Dhoni as the captain of the team and appointed Kepler Wessels as the head coach . They played their first game on 19 April 2008 against Kings XI Punjab at Mohali . The Super Kings won the game by 33 runs after posting 240 / 5 in 20 overs , which was the highest total of the tournament , a record surpassed by themselves in 2010 . The Super Kings ended the league stage with eight wins from 14 games and finished third on the points table . They beat the Kings XI Punjab by 9 wickets in the semifinal . The Super Kings faced the Rajasthan Royals in the final of the IPL at Mumbai . Batting first , the Super Kings scored 163 / 5 in 20 overs and lost the game by 3 wickets off the final delivery of the match . They also earned a spot in the inaugural Champions League Twenty20 along with Rajasthan , but the tournament was cancelled due to the 2008 Mumbai Attacks and the Super Kings , along with Rajasthan , received $5 million each as compensation . Fleming , who had decided to retire from all forms of the game after the first season of the IPL , took over as the coach of the Super Kings team from Wessels for the next season which was to be held in South Africa . For the 2009 season , the Super Kings bought English all - rounder Andrew Flintoff for $1.55 million at the auction making him the highest - paid IPL cricketer along with English teammate Kevin Pietersen who was bought for the same amount by Royal Challengers Bangalore . However , Flintoff played only 3 matches for them before suffering a knee injury that ruled him out of the season . The Super Kings were also without the services of Hussey who had decided to skip the IPL season to focus on The Ashes . The Super Kings finished with 17 points from 14 matches and earned a second place at the league table . However , at the semi-finals , their hopes of entering the final for a second time were crushed by the Royal Challengers who beat them by 6 wickets . The Super Kings opener Matthew Hayden , who scored 572 runs in 12 innings with 5 half - centuries at an average of 52 and strike - rate of 145 , won the Orange Cap for the leading run - scorer of the season and was also adjudged Player of the Tournament . 2010 : IPL and CLT20 double ( edit ) Main article : Chennai Super Kings in 2010 In 2010 , the Super Kings struggled in the first half of the regular season , winning only two matches out of seven . They won four of their next five games in the season mainly due to the efforts of Murali Vijay and Suresh Raina . After a defeat at home to the Delhi Daredevils , the Super Kings were left with a must - win match against Kings XI Punjab at Dharamsala . The Super Kings won the match by six wickets as they chased down the target of 193 with two balls to spare with skipper Dhoni scoring an unbeaten 54 from 29 balls . Thus , with seven wins from 14 matches , Chennai finished with the same number of points as three other teams with two semi-final spots at stake . Chennai got the third place as they had the better net run rate of the four teams which finished on 14 points . In the semifinal , the Super Kings scored a modest 142 / 7 in 20 overs against the defending champions Deccan Chargers . But an inspired bowling spell from Doug Bollinger ( 4 / 13 in four overs ) did the most damage as the Chargers were bowled out for 104 . This gave the Super Kings a 38 - run victory that took them to the final . The Super Kings faced the tournament favorites Mumbai Indians at their home ground in the final . Suresh Raina 's 57 ( 35 ) helped the Super Kings recover from 68 / 3 after 12 overs to put up 168 / 5 at the end of their 20 overs . Then , their spin duo of Ravichandran Ashwin and Muralitharan conceded only 41 runs in the 8 overs bowled between them to help the Super Kings won the game by 22 runs and secure their first ever IPL title . With this , the Super Kings also qualified for the 2010 Champions League Twenty20 that was held in South Africa . At the Champions League , the Super Kings were placed in Group A along with champions of Twenty20 competitions from Australia , South Africa , New Zealand and Sri Lanka . The Super Kings topped the Group table with three wins and a Super Over defeat to the Victorian Bushrangers . In the semi-final at Durban , the Super Kings comprehensively defeated IPL rivals Royal Challengers Bangalore by 52 runs . Raina won the Man of the match for his unbeaten 94 off 48 balls . The Super Kings played their first CLT20 final at Johannesburg where they beat the Chevrolet Warriors by 8 wickets , becoming the first IPL team to win the CLT20 . Murali Vijay won not only the Man of the Match in the final for his 58 but also the Golden Bat for scoring the most runs in the tournament and Ashwin , who was the leading wicket - taker , was adjudged the Player of the Series . At the end of the season , Matthew Hayden decided to retire from the IPL . 2011 -- 2015 ( edit ) Main articles : Chennai Super Kings in 2011 , 2012 , 2013 , 2014 , and 2015 Suresh Raina is the leading run - scorer for the Super Kings In 2011 , as two new teams were added to the IPL , the IPL Governing Council declared that each franchise could retain a maximum of four players of their squad , only three of whom can be Indian players , and the rest of the international players would be put in the mega-auction . The Chennai franchise , keen to have the same set of core players , retained captain MS Dhoni , vice-captain Suresh Raina , Murali Vijay and all - rounder Albie Morkel for a total of $4.5 million . The retention left them with the power of spending only $4.5 million at the mega-auction . At the auction , they bought back some of their star players of previous seasons such as Hussey , Ashwin , Bollinger and Subramaniam Badrinath . In the 2011 IPL , they lost three of their first five games which placed them at the bottom of the ten - team points table . But then , they went on to win seven of their next eight games to finish second and register a spot in the knockout stages . They faced the top - ranked team Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Qualifying final which they won by 6 wickets thanks to an unbeaten 73 from Suresh Raina . In the final , they faced the same opponents again , which was held at their home ground Chepauk . Vijay and Hussey put on a 133 - run first - wicket partnership that helped the Super Kings to post a total of 205 / 5 . Their bowlers , then , restricted Bangalore to only 147 to take the Super Kings to second consecutive title in the IPL . Vijay was awarded Man of the Match for his match - winning innings of 95 . CSK also won all their home games that season becoming the first team in IPL to achieve the feat . However at the Champions League later that year , they won only one out of their four group matches and finished at the bottom . In 2012 , the franchise signed up Indian all - rounder Ravindra Jadeja for $2 million at the players ' auction . They got off to a rather slow start in the regular season , winning only five of their first 12 games which put them in doubt of qualifying for the Playoffs . Then they won three of their last four matches and qualified for the Playoffs with a better net run rate than the Royal Challengers who also finished with the same number of points . In the Eliminator , they beat the Mumbai Indians by 38 runs before comprehensively beating the table - toppers Delhi Daredevils in the Qualifying final by 86 runs . Murali Vijay , who struck his second IPL hundred ( 113 off 58 balls ) , won the Man of the Match . At the final , the Super Kings were defeated by 5 wickets by the Kolkata Knight Riders who chased down the target of 191 with two balls to spare , thus denying the Super Kings a hat - trick of titles in the IPL . At the Champions League , once again they could not progress past the group stage with two wins and two defeats . In 2013 , the Super Kings strengthened their bowling attack by signing up five overseas and five Indian bowlers . In the IPL season , they finished first in the points table with 11 wins from 16 matches and qualified for the Playoffs and 2013 CLT20 . This was the first time in six seasons that the Super Kings had topped the league table of the IPL . During the season , they also equaled Royal Challengers Bangalore 's 2011 record for most wins in succession in the IPL ( 7 wins on trot ) . In the first Qualifier at Delhi against Mumbai Indians , the Super Kings posted 192 / 1 in 20 overs riding on unbeaten half - centuries from Hussey ( 86 * off 58 balls ) and Raina ( 82 * off 42 balls ) before bowling out their opponents for 144 . Thus they entered the final of the IPL for the fourth time in succession where they would play the same opponents , Mumbai Indians , at Kolkata . At the final , batting first , the Mumbai Indians made 148 / 9 in their 20 overs . In reply , the Super Kings were reduced to 39 / 6 at one stage before an unbeaten half - century from skipper Dhoni took them close to the target . However , Mumbai Indians won the match by 23 runs to win their first ever IPL title . Super Kings opening batsman Michael Hussey , who scored 733 runs that season at an average of 52 , won the Orange Cap for the most runs in the season while all - rounder Dwayne Bravo won the Purple Cap for bagging the most wickets ( 32 ) . The Super Kings gained direct qualification for the 2013 CLT20 which was held in India in September -- October . They were placed in Group B alongside Brisbane Heat , Sunrisers Hyderabad , Titans and Trinidad & Tobago . They won their first three games before losing the final group match against Trinidad & Tobago . With 12 points from four matches , the Super Kings progressed to the semifinals where they suffered a 14 - run defeat at the hands of the Rajasthan Royals at Jaipur . In 2014 , before the players ' mega-auction , Chennai retained Dhoni , Raina , Jadeja , Ashwin and Bravo . The retention left them with a purse of ₹ 21 crores to spend at the auction . At the auction , the franchise bought the likes of Brendon McCullum , Dwayne Smith , Faf du Plessis , Ashish Nehra , Mohit Sharma among others . The first phase of the IPL season , as it coincided with the general elections , was held in UAE . The second phase returned to India , but the Super Kings ' home matches were shifted from Chennai , due to `` a deadlock between stadium authorities and the state administration '' , to JSCA International Stadium in Ranchi . The Super Kings started the season with a defeat in the opening match , after which they went on to win eight of their next nine matches to take the first spot in the points table . However , they suffered a loss of form towards the end of the regular season which resulted in three consecutive defeats . They won their last league fixture and finished third in the points table and qualified for the Eliminator against the fourth - placed Mumbai Indians . They won the Eliminator at Mumbai by 7 wickets and qualified for the Qualifier . At the Qualifier against Kings XI Punjab , the Super Kings won the toss and elected to field . Punjab went on to score 226 / 6 in their 20 overs . The Super Kings , in reply , could manage only 202 / 7 despite a 25 - ball 87 from Raina . They crashed out of the IPL , but , on account of finishing third , qualified for the main event of the 2014 CLT20 . In the group stage of the CLT20 , the Super Kings won two matches , lost one while another match was a no result . Thus with 10 points they finished second in the group table and qualified for the semifinal where they met the unbeaten team of the other group , Kings XI Punjab . After being put in to bat , the Super Kings posted 182 / 7 in 20 overs thanks to Bravo who scored a 39 - ball 67 . Then their bowlers reduced Punjab to 34 / 6 in the eighth over , and Punjab were eventually bowled out for 117 . At the final in Bangalore , the Super Kings faced the IPL champions Kolkata Knight Riders who set them a target of 181 in 20 overs . Raina guided the run - chase with an unbeaten 109 off 62 balls , helping the team to an eight - wicket win and their second CLT20 title . Super Kings spinner Pawan Negi who took 5 / 22 during Kolkata 's innings won the Man of the Match , and Raina , who finished as the highest run - getter of the tournament , was awarded Man of the Tournament . In 2015 , before the players ' auction , Chennai Super Kings gave away Ben Hilfenhaus , John Hastings , Vijay Shankar and David Hussey . At the auction they bought back Michael Hussey for a price of Rs. 1.5 crores . They also bought Kyle Abbott , Irfan Pathan , Andrew Tye , Eklavya Dwivedi , Ankush Bains , Pratyush Singh and Rahul Sharma . In the final , they lost against Mumbai .

In the 2011 season , the Super Kings won all their home games ( 8 matches ) including the final against Royal Challengers Bangalore . The Super Kings thus became the first team to win all their home games in a season and also the first team to win the tournament at home . In 2014 , Chennai Super Kings played all their home matches at Ranchi due to issues with Government of Tamil Nadu . Panoramic view of the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium in 2012 . Players ( edit ) Main article : List of Chennai Super Kings cricketers Mahendra Singh Dhoni is the first Indian captain to win the IPL . Mahendra Singh Dhoni , who was the captain of the Indian limited - overs team in 2008 , was bought by the Super Kings for $1.5 million at the 2008 players ' auction . He was the most expensive player in the IPL until 2009 when the Super Kings signed up English all - rounder Andrew Flintoff for $1.55 million , he is not a part of the team now . Dhoni is the most successful captain in the IPL having led the team to Six finals ( Runners up 2008 , 2012 , 2013 , 2015 ) , winning two ( 2010 , 2011 ) . He has a success rate of 61.05 % as captain which is the best among all captains in the IPL who have captained in at least 20 games .

Super Kings ' spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has the third best economy rate in IPL ( 6.53 ) and is the leading wicket - taker for the team . Team identity ( edit ) Team name and logo design ( edit ) The Chennai franchise named the team as Chennai Super Kings to honor the rulers of the Tamil empire . The word `` super '' is used commonly in southern India especially in Tamil Nadu . The team name also derives from India Cements ' brand `` Coromandel King '' . The team logo features the head of a roaring lion in orange and the team name rendered in blue . The crown above the team name is the same as that used in the logo of the brand Coromandel King . According to the logo designers , since lion is the king of the jungle , the roaring lion logo reflects the team name . The details of the logo signifies various qualities such as youth , vibrancy , solid performance orientation and fiery spirit . Jersey colours ( edit ) The team 's primary colour is yellow with blue and orange stripes on either sides of the jersey . The jersey also incorporates the roaring lion logo in the center of the shirt below the logo of the main sponsor Aircel . The basic look of the jersey has remained same from the first season with no changes except for the sponsor placement . The kit manufacturer until 2014 was Reebok and from 2015 , Australian Apparel and Sports Gear manufacturer Spartan manufactures kits for the team . Sponsors ( edit ) Telecom service provider Aircel became the team 's first shirt sponsor after they signed a three - year deal in 2008 . They acquired branding rights on the players uniform including shirts and hats during IPL , rights for in - stadia branding , and sponsoring man - of - the - match awards for matches played in Chennai . In 2011 , Aircel renewed its sponsorship contract by paying more than ₹ 850 million . According to The Economic Times , it is the most expensive sponsorship deal in IPL .

The video of the song represents the street dance form of dappangutthu which is very popular among certain communities in Tamil Nadu . It is also a folk dance and music genre employed in Tamil cinema . The recordings of some of the Super Kings players whistling were used in the video . Rivalries ( edit ) Main articles : Chennai Super Kings -- Mumbai Indians rivalry and Chennai Super Kings - Royal Challengers Bangalore rivalry The Chennai Super Kings have active rivalries with the Mumbai Indians and the Royal Challengers Bangalore . The Super Kings and Mumbai Indians have played against each other more number of times than any other two teams in the IPL . They are the two most successful IPL teams and often termed as `` big spenders '' at the players auction . The two sides have met each other at the final of the IPL thrice , with Mumbai winning two of them and Chennai winning once . The rivalry with Royal Challengers Bangalore stems from the Kaveri River water dispute between the states of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu . The rivalry is also called `` Kaveri derby '' and `` South Indian derby '' . The Super Kings beat the Royal Challengers in the final of the 2011 IPL , the only meeting between the two teams at an IPL final . Financial worth ( edit ) The Economic Times commissioned UK - based Brand Finance to carry out brand evaluation of the IPL and also each of the eight franchise teams ( that was increased to 10 in 2011 ) . Chennai Super Kings was rated as the `` most valuable team '' in the Indian Premier League in 2010 -- 11 , with a brand value of $100 million ( app ₹ 2.24 billion ) . In February 2013 , London based Brand Finance evaluated the top 150 most valuable teams in the world , in which Chennai Super Kings is placed in the 147th place valued at $46 million just behind the Mumbai Indians . Controversies ( edit ) Until September 2008 , BCCI regulation , Clause 6.2. 4 stated that `` No administrator could have , directly or indirectly , any commercial interest in the matches or events conducted by the board '' . However , N. Srinivasan , who was then the treasurer and vice-chairman of BCCI , became the de facto owner of the Chennai Super Kings since he was the Managing Director of India Cements . Former BCCI President A.C. Muthiah wrote to the BCCI regarding the violation of this clause in 2008 but the BCCI did not respond . In September 2008 , Muthiah went to the Madras High Court to restrain BCCI from allowing Srinivasan to participate in the general body meeting where the election was to be held . However , the suit was dismissed by the High Court and the following day , Srinivasan was elected as the Secretary of BCCI . The clause was amended as `` No administrator shall have , directly or indirectly , any commercial interest in any of the events of the BCCI , excluding IPL , Champions League and Twenty20 '' . Muthiah then moved to the Supreme Court which gave a split verdict in April 2011 . Later in August 2011 , Muthiah filed another petition to stop Srinivasan from taking over as the BCCI President but the Supreme Court rejected the petition , and Srinivasan was elected the President of BCCI . In 2011 , the owners of other teams were concerned about the possible rigging that could have taken place in the IPL auctions . Nita Ambani , the owner of Mumbai Indians questioned the changing the order of players just before the auction began . Former IPL chairman Lalit Modi accused Srinivasan of arm - twisting him and rigging the 2009 IPL auction to ensure that English all - rounder Andrew Flintoff was bought by the Chennai Super Kings while it was refuted by Srinivasan . In May 2013 , Gurunath Meiyappan , son - in - law of Srinivasan , was arrested by Mumbai Police on charges of placing bets on IPL matches Meiyappan , who was the Team Principal of the Super Kings , was issued a summons by the Mumbai Police and on interrogation it was found that Meiyappan was in contact with bookies through actor Vindu Dara Singh . Following this , Srinivasan , on 2 June 2013 , decided to step aside as BCCI President temporarily until the inquiry into the betting case completed . In February 2014 , the three member panel appointed by the Supreme Court of India enquired into the betting case indicted Meiyappan for illegal betting during the 2013 IPL . On 25 March 2014 , the Supreme Court of India issued an ultimatum to the BCCI demanding that Srinivasan either step down as President or be removed from his position . On 14 July 2015 , the Supreme Court appointed RM Lodha committee suspended the owners of Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings from the Indian Premier League for a period of two years . On 24 February 2016 , the Supreme Court of India agreed to hear a plea for lifting the ban on the Chennai Super Kings .

Contents ( hide ) 1 Concept and creation 1.1 Casting 2 Characterization 2.1 Background 2.2 Personality 3 Character arc 3.1 Season 1 3.2 Season 2 3.3 Season 3 3.4 Season 4 3.4. 1 Series finale 4 References Concept and creation ( edit ) Casting ( edit ) `` When Benjamin ( McKenzie ) came in , he was n't physically what Josh ( Schwartz ) had envisioned , but he inhabited the character unlike anyone we had seen . I think that the character of Ryan is a kid that always seems a little lost and has a sense of mystery and danger ; Benjamin has all those qualities . '' -- Patrick Rush on the casting of Benjamin McKenzie as Ryan Casting director Patrick Rush found the role of Ryan Atwood particularly hard to cast for The O.C. . Chad Michael Murray turned the role down to play Lucas Scott on One Tree Hill . Rush invited Benjamin McKenzie to audition after Warner Bros. made him aware of the young actor after an unsuccessful audition for a UPN sitcom . McKenzie , who had spent two years in New York and Los Angeles seeking acting work , lacked experience and later described his selection as `` a tremendous leap of faith '' on the producers ' part . Show creator Josh Schwartz said in 2014 , `` ( McKenzie ) took it really seriously , and brought just a lot of integrity , and integrity is not always required in a Fox teen drama . '' Characterization ( edit ) Background ( edit ) Ryan was physically abused by his biological father Frank and some of his mother Dawn 's boyfriends . He has a complicated , love - hate relationship with his older brother Trey . Both parents struggled with alcohol -- Frank became physically abusive while Dawn neglected and verbally abused him -- and it left a deep impression on him , as shown by his aversion to strong alcoholic drinks . By his own statements , Ryan never had a father figure for much of his life , due to Frank being in prison and his mother 's revolving door of boyfriends , prior to being adopted by the Cohens . The Atwoods used to live in Fresno but moved to Chino after Frank was imprisoned . In season 4 , it is stated that Ryan had not seen Frank in eight years . In regards to his biological family , a major recurring theme was Ryan being abandoned -- Dawn abandoned him twice , Trey left for Las Vegas without telling him and their dad left them and their mom `` with nothing '' after being imprisoned -- which contrasts his adopted family , the Cohens , who have stood by him despite his juvenile record , vocal criticisms and disdain from the other `` Newpsies '' about his adoption and his multiple attempts to run away from them . Although he does not address Sandy and Kirsten as Dad or Mom , he has made it clear that he considers them to be his parents , rather than Frank and Dawn . He generally dislikes speaking about his biological family and has hinted during Christmas and Thanksgiving that the holidays brought up painful memories for him . During his first Chrismukkah in Newport , he tells the Cohens that his holidays mainly consisted of him `` getting ( his ) ass kicked '' and sums up his Christmas memories in three words : drinking , crying and cops . Personality ( edit ) Born and raised in a working class family , Ryan knows the lifestyle and attitudes of people from his neighborhood of Chino , California and the dangers that occur if outsiders are influenced by its environment . His abusive past is reflected by the fact that he has an extremely high pain threshold and displays an impassive expression after being physically beat up . He is tough , cynical and quick - tempered , yet compassionate and empathetic toward people in trouble and those less fortunate than himself . During his first months in Newport , he had the tendency to physically express his anger at the incessant teasing from his schoolmates by punching them , which led them intentionally goad him even more , but he gradually calmed down , after some serious lecturing from Sandy and being sent to anger management counseling . He at times appears burdened by an almost - compulsive need to rescue others at the expense of his own well - being , however , and is overly protective of Marissa and Theresa , his main love interests on the show . The product of an abusive household , he has difficulty trusting or getting close to people emotionally , which could also be due to the fact that his mother Dawn refused to get help for her alcoholism and brother Trey continuously broke his promises to stay out of trouble . He is extremely loyal to his family , both biological and adopted , and those he cares about . The fact that he rarely smiles or says much is something of a running joke among other members of the Cohen household ; early in the first season when he first moves in with the Cohens , he often looks down and avoids making eye contact , likely a habit of self - preservation born out of his upbringing in an unstable home and would stiffen when hugged ; by the final season , he becomes more open to his adoptive family . Despite his reticent nature and emotionless exterior , Ryan can be quite transparent , often `` convey ( ing ) everything with just a look '' , and is virtually incapable of lying , as Sandy proved in the episode `` The O. Sea '' when he caught Ryan trying to cover - up for Seth and Ryan 's `` guilty face '' gave it away . Compared to his adoptive brother , Ryan is the opposite of the socially awkward , sheltered and sometimes naïve Seth ; he is street - savvy , which often results in him having to constantly bail Seth out of trouble during the first two seasons , athletic and charismatic , albeit in a more understated way . Seth often joked about he had known Summer and Marissa since they were in elementary but they never talked to one another while Ryan was invited to the annual charity fashion by Marissa barely twenty four hours after setting foot in Newport Beach . Inside the classroom , he has been described as highly intelligent despite his history of behavior problems ( he was suspended multiple times for fighting and truancy ) . In the pilot episode , it is revealed that he had taken his SATs despite being only a sophomore and scored in the 98th percentile . According to Dawn , Ryan had always been `` the smart one , the good one '' in the family . Ryan 's favorite fruit is peaches , and his favorite band is Journey . He suffers from acrophobia , the fear of heights . He is athletic and played football ( safety ) and soccer ( striker ) in school ; a soccer ball is sometimes seen in the Cohen 's pool house . Despite the generosity of his adoptive family , Ryan repeatedly demonstrates he can earn his own keep by taking paying jobs around town , such as a busboy at the Crab Shack , a construction worker , an intern at the Newport Group , and a barback position . He used to smoke , like both Frank and Dawn , but stopped after Sandy tells him on the first night that smoking was n't allowed in the house . Of the characters in the show , Ryan is closest to his adoptive brother Seth , Summer and Marissa -- this `` core four '' group of friends is the basis of Seth 's Atomic County comic series . Ryan and Seth are often able to finish each other 's sentences , according to Summer , `` like they 're composing a lie on the spot '' and read each other 's body language and facial expressions . Character arc ( edit ) Season 1 ( edit ) When Ryan and his brother Trey are caught attempting to steal a car , his mother Dawn kicks him out . His attorney , Sandy Cohen , takes him into his home in Newport Beach , California , despite objections from Sandy 's wife , Kirsten . Sandy takes note of Ryan 's high test scores in spite of his poor grades , which was more likely due to inconsistent attendance rather than Ryan 's lack of intelligence . Initially Kirsten is wary of him and insisted Sandy take him back to juvie but , after witnessing him being physically assaulted in juvie for defending her from an unruly inmate , she takes him home . She subsequently welcomes him to stay permanently upon seeing that Dawn was incapable of adequately caring for Ryan due to her alcohol problem . In the episode `` The Debut '' , Sandy and Kirsten become his legal guardians , after Dawn leaves him at the Cohens ' in the previous episode . Ryan becomes part of the Cohen family , living in their pool house , and becomes a brother to Sandy and Kirsten 's son , Seth Cohen ; even Sandy and Kirsten consider him their second son , referring to him as such rather than the more legally accurate term `` ward '' . However , even though he is accepted by the immediate Cohen family , he still feels like and is seen by other characters as an outsider , a recurring theme throughout the season . In particular , Harbor School dean Dr. Kim , water polo team captain Luke Ward , Kirsten 's father Caleb Nichol and the Cohens ' neighbor Julie Cooper had reservations about Ryan . Shortly after meeting her , he begins a relationship with Marissa Cooper , Julie 's daughter . Initially Ryan has trouble fitting in at Harbor School , the local private school most `` Newpsies '' attend . He joins the soccer team , only to find that Luke was also on the team . The fact that Luke , his rival for Marissa 's affections and the water polo team captain , was there exacerbated the problem . Ryan takes it out on Luke with a rash tackle during soccer practice , earning him a suspension and a stern reminder from Sandy that they ( the Cohens ) were `` always one mistake away from someone taking you from us '' . He and Luke become friends in the aftermath of the discovery that Luke 's father was gay and is the first person Luke vents his frustration and anger to . Luke becomes unlikely friends with Ryan and his circle of `` outcasts '' : Marissa , who was ostracized by other girls following her parents ' divorce and suicide attempt , and the socially awkward Seth , whom he and other jocks used to bully . Ryan 's relationship with Marissa is interrupted by Oliver Trask , a deeply disturbed boy Marissa meets in therapy who becomes obsessed with her . Ryan becomes suspicious , which brings significant trust issues between the couple , eventually resulting in a breakup , although they remain friends . At the same time , Theresa Diaz , Ryan 's childhood sweetheart , comes to Newport , resulting in a rekindled romance between them . However , Theresa leaves Newport after her fiancé Eddie , one of Ryan 's friends in Chino , convinces her to return to Chino with him . Ryan and Marissa resume their relationship shortly after , but this is complicated when Theresa returns after suffering domestic abuse by Eddie . Theresa reveals she is pregnant but does not know whether the father is Ryan or Eddie . She decides to keep the baby and return home to Chino to be with her mother . Feeling compelled to help her bring up the child , Ryan decides to go with Theresa , leaving Marissa , the Cohens , and everything else in his life behind . Season 2 ( edit ) Having quit school and working in construction , Ryan lives with Theresa , but she realizes he is unhappy and encourages him to visit Seth in Portland , Oregon , where he ran away following Ryan 's departure . He hesitantly goes , hoping to convince his friend to go home to his parents before the fall semester starts , but while he stays in Portland , Theresa notifies him through the telephone she has miscarried . Although Ryan is devastated and wants to return to her , Theresa tells him he needs to go back to Newport with Seth . Ryan returns to school and is still uncertain about his plans beyond high school . By chance , he catches Sandy and Kirsten 's contractor cutting corners and quickly points out discrepancies in the floor plan and finished product . The school counselor discovers some technical drawings and sketches of the lower floor of the Cohens ' home in his notebook and advises him to consider architecture as a career . As part of Seth 's idea of a reunion of the `` Fab Four '' ( consisting of Ryan , Marissa , Seth and his girlfriend Summer Roberts ) , Ryan and Marissa are pulled closer together . When he overhears Marissa admitting to Summer that Ryan is the only one she ever loved and she misses him every day , he confesses his own lingering feelings for her . The two get back together , just as Ryan 's brother Trey is released from jail . Ryan , along with the Cohens and Marissa , attempts to get Trey back onto his feet . However , during his trip to Florida with Sandy and Seth to pay Sandy 's mother a visit , Trey tries to rape Marissa while intoxicated on drugs . Marissa does not tell anyone , causing tension with Ryan , who suspects she cheated on him with Trey . After he questions his brother , who hides at a bar in Chino and blames a drunken Marissa , Ryan bumps into Theresa and confides his problems . She tells him that out of the two , Marissa would never hurt him and she would be the one to trust . Following Theresa 's advice , Ryan makes up with Marissa . Meanwhile , Sandy becomes concerned with Kirsten 's alcoholism and decides to stage an intervention . Ryan reassures Sandy he is doing the right thing . Ryan takes part , stating that , having lost his mother to alcoholism , he would not be able to bear it if he lost someone else he loved to the bottle . Following similar statements of love from the rest of the Cohens , Kirsten gives in and checks herself into rehab . When Marissa tells Summer about Trey 's attempted rape , Summer informs Seth . Seth , knowing he can not lie to Ryan , tells him , who prompts a confrontation with his brother . The brothers fight , and Trey almost kills Ryan . Marissa turns up and shoots Trey in the back with his own gun . Season 3 ( edit ) Marissa 's death in `` The Graduates '' ( episode 3.25 ) Trey survives the gunshot but remains in a coma . When he regains consciousness , Marissa 's mother Julie blackmails him to place the blame on Ryan so Marissa 's innocence will clear her reputation in society , but following Ryan 's initial arrest , Marissa convinces him to tell the truth . With Ryan 's charges dropped , Trey flees Newport , leaving Marissa expelled from Harbor High to instead attend public school . When she befriends amateur surfer Johnny Harper , Ryan becomes suspicious of their closeness , fueling their on and off relationship . After Johnny dies in an accident , Ryan questions Marissa 's true feelings towards Johnny , ending their relationship . Following their split , Marissa begins spiraling down a disastrous relationship with Kevin Volchok , Johnny 's former surfing rival , while Ryan develops his own rivalry against Volchok , including instances of blackmail , extortion and violence . In the season finale , Ryan , Marissa , Seth and Summer graduate from high school , following their prospective futures . Ryan became the first in his family to graduate from high school and is accepted by the University of California , Berkeley , Sandy and Kirsten 's alma mater . Volchok attempts to blackmail Ryan , threatening to inform the authorities of Ryan 's earlier involvement in a robbery which he was forced to assist him with . In an effort to fulfill Volchok 's ransom , Marissa gives Ryan her mother 's graduation gift : pearls he can pawn for the money . Volchok does n't accept the money , demanding more , including a talk with Marissa , which she refuses , instead staying with Ryan . While Ryan drives Marissa to the airport , Volchok , drunk and furious , attempts to crash Ryan 's car . In a blind rage , he sideswipes Ryan 's vehicle , knocking it over a barrier to roll down an embankment . Ryan manages to pull an unconscious Marissa out of the wreckage before the car exploded due to the leaking gas tank . Marissa dies of her injuries in his arms minutes later . Season 4 ( edit ) Following Marissa 's death , Ryan moves into a storage closet at a bar where he works while avoiding the Cohens and starts cage fighting , which becomes an outlet for his anger and grief . The Cohens repeatedly call him up to check up on him and ask him to come over for dinner and Sandy even goes to the bar to look for Ryan himself but Ryan continues to elude them on purpose . Meanwhile , a desperate Seth calls Summer , who is away at Brown University in Rhode Island , to come back and hopefully convince Ryan to return home with the Cohens . Sandy , Kirsten and Seth finally convince him to return home after they reveal to him , through Seth 's Atomic County comic strips , how he has changed their family for the better . Julie , finding any way necessary to cope with her grief , hires a private investigator to dig up evidence of Volchok 's whereabouts , in hopes of exacting her revenge . She passes the information to Ryan , the only person who can truly understand the pain she feels , and suggests he do with Volchok whatever he wishes , as giving the police the information is too valuable a deal to pass up . Ryan heads to Mexico to finish the job , but Seth tags along to ensure Ryan does n't ruin his life by committing murder . Seth calls Sandy and Kirsten , who have driven to Mexico to find the boys , then warns Volchok to leave town before Ryan gets to him and advises that he take advantage of his lawyer father . His plan fools Ryan , who returns home ; his relationship with Seth is severely compromised , however . Heeding Seth 's advice , Volchok contacts Sandy to be his defense attorney , although Ryan discovers it . Sandy , knowing Ryan would never kill anyone , drives him to the hotel where he 's housed Volchok . Inside , Ryan puts a broken bottle against Volchok 's throat ; he spares Volchok 's life , however , leaving him for the police . Ryan settles back down to life in Newport , determined to have an uneventful summer , until Taylor Townsend returns from France trapped in a loveless marriage , seeking a divorce . Ryan is reluctantly drawn in and , during a heart - to - heart conversation with Sandy , he is reminded that he 's always been the one to help people when they need it the most . Ryan kisses Taylor in front of her husband 's lawyer , who can grant a divorce only if one member was unfaithful and agrees that their kiss was heartfelt . Seth warns Ryan that Taylor is unstable and clings to anyone who shows her kindness ; while Ryan appreciates the notion , he admits that he is not yet over Marissa and decides to confront Taylor ; she initially denies her own feelings but later confesses that she is attracted to him . Following a second kiss , the idea being to discover if it sparks any feelings , he admits he does like her , except that he does not want anything too serious . During Chrismukkah ( a combination of Christmas and Hanukkah celebrated at the Cohen house ) , Ryan discovers a letter in the mail from Marissa but gets distracted by Kirsten . While he 's hanging decorations on the house roof , Taylor arrives with her gift to him ; he is preoccupied by Marissa 's letter , however , and acts coldly towards her . When she climbs the ladder he 's working on to angrily give him his present , the ladder falls , along with the two of them , knocking them both unconscious . While in the hospital , Ryan and Taylor dream of being in an alternate dream universe of Newport , as if Ryan had never been adopted by the Cohen family . When Taylor misunderstands a conversation with a housekeeper from this world , she informs Ryan that Marissa is alive ; Ryan says he never wants to wake up so he can be with her again . When he finds out about her arrival at an airport from Berkeley and goes to meet her , he finds this world 's version of Marissa 's sister Kaitlin , who tells him that Marissa had died of the overdose he had saved her from . In the real world , Kirsten shows Julie Marissa 's letter to Ryan , which she had written to Ryan before she left for Greece . In the letter , Marissa states that she had to leave because , even though she still loved him , they could not be together . After Julie sets the note beside an unconscious Ryan , it appears for him to read in his dream , during which he realizes he has to forgive himself for Marissa 's death and to move on . Moments later , he regains consciousness . He finally gathers the courage to visit Marissa 's grave , where he bumps into Julie , who consoles him with the knowledge that at least Marissa did not die alone . Since her daughter 's death , Julie has softened towards Ryan after realizing that he sincerely cared for Marissa . Days later , Ryan finds out from Sandy that his biological father , Frank Atwood , is out of jail and wishes to see him . Ryan is hesitant , recalling the abuse he suffered at Frank 's hands , but Frank convinces him by claiming that he has lung cancer . However , following dinner with the Cohens , an already - suspicious Sandy reveals that Frank lied about the cancer after checking up with his contacts in the prison system . Frank leaves Newport , although he returns apologetically and with help from Taylor forms a tentative relationship with his son . The situation becomes even more awkward when Frank begins dating Julie and stays at her house . They remain on friendly terms but Ryan has made it clear that even though he addresses Frank as `` dad '' , he considers Sandy to be his father figure . Meanwhile , Taylor 's ex-husband Henri - Michel comes to Newport on a book tour for his best - selling novel about their marriage . Feeling insecure about Taylor 's exotic life in France , Ryan breaks up with her , claiming they are `` too different '' . A week later , Ryan decides he was wrong but discovers it might be too late as Taylor is already considering a reconciliation with Henri , who still loves her . Ryan upstages a poetry reading by Henri at a book store with a poem of his own , where he confesses he can grow to love Taylor , given time . Series finale ( edit ) To make up for giving a pocket dictionary for her nineteenth birthday , Ryan gives Taylor his original present of a bound book full of love poems that she translated . He admits he loves her , but as they reconcile , an earthquake hits Newport . The two survive , but Ryan is injured while protecting Taylor and is brought to the hospital for recovery . Six months later , Ryan and Taylor spend time together before she leaves Newport for college in Paris . Ryan thanks her for saving him from self - destruction , and he and the Cohens depart from their Newport home , damaged beyond repair , to Sandy and Kirsten 's old home in Berkeley , California , while Seth leaves for RISD . In a flashforward , Ryan attends UC Berkeley , where Sandy is now a law professor . At Seth and Summer 's wedding , he is best man and shares a smile with Taylor , the maid of honor ( their relationship status is left ambiguous ) . Ryan achieves his dream of becoming an architect . As he walks away from a construction site , he notices a teenager down on his luck , seemingly in the same situation Ryan was when he was kicked out of his home . As he offers the youth help , Ryan 's story comes full circle . References ( edit ) ^ Jump up to : `` Backstage Pass - Production Notes '' . The OC Insider . Warner Bros. Retrieved 2008 - 07 - 27 .

Bidding phase and host city selection Lisbon Guimarães Gondomar Santa Maria da Feira Braga Location of the host city ( blue ) and other candidate cities ( red ) On the day of the Eurovision Song Contest 2017 final , it was reported that Portuguese broadcaster Rádio e Televisão de Portugal ( RTP ) would accept the challenge of organising the 2018 contest in case of a victory .

The following day , the director - general of RTP , Nuno Artur Silva , confirmed that the broadcaster would organise the contest in 2018 and mentioned MEO Arena ( later renamed Altice Arena ) in Lisbon as a likely venue to host the contest . On 15 May 2017 , RTP appeared to have confirmed Lisbon as the host city , but clarified the following day that no final decision had been taken regarding both the host city and venue . The basic requirements to select a host city were set out in a document presented by the EBU to RTP following their win in Kiev : A suitable venue that can accommodate around 10,000 spectators . An international press centre for 1,500 journalists with adequate facilities for all the delegates . A good distribution of hotel rooms , at different price categories , able to accommodate at least 2,000 delegates , accredited journalists and spectators .

Besides Lisbon , other cities signalled their interest in bidding to host the 2018 contest : Braga , Espinho , Faro , Gondomar , Guimarães , and Santa Maria da Feira . The mayor of Porto , Rui Moreira , declared he would not be interested in `` spending millions of euros '' to host the contest , but he would support a bid from the Metropolitan Area of Porto ( Espinho , Gondomar , and Santa Maria da Feira ) . On 13 June 2017 , RTP representatives met with the Eurovision Song Contest Reference Group at the EBU headquarters in Geneva . During the meeting , RTP officials attended a workshop covering several topics related with hosting the Eurovision Song Contest and learned from the experience of the Ukrainian broadcaster UA : PBC . They also had the opportunity to present their first plans for the 2018 contest , including multiple proposals for the host city and venue . On 25 July 2017 , the EBU and RTP announced that Lisbon had been selected as the host city , overcoming confirmed bids from Braga , Gondomar , Guimarães , and Santa Maria da Feira . In addition , RTP indicated the Parque das Nações , where Altice Arena is located , as the site for the shows .

Other sites Altice Arena Eurovision Village and EuroClub Airport Opening Ceremony Location of host venue ( red ) and other contest - related sites and events ( blue ) The Eurovision Village was the official Eurovision Song Contest fan and sponsors area during the event weeks , where it was possible to watch performances by contest participants and local artists , as well as the live shows broadcast from the main venue . It was located in Lisbon 's downtown Praça do Comércio ( also called Terreiro do Paço ) , a large central square open to the Tagus river . The EuroClub was the venue for the official after - parties and private performances by contest participants . Unlike the Eurovision Village , access to the EuroClub was restricted to accredited fans , delegations , and press . It was located at the `` Ministerium '' club , next to the Eurovision Village . The `` Blue Carpet '' event , where all the contestants and their delegations are presented before the accredited press and fans , took place on 6 May 2018 at the Museum of Art , Architecture and Technology ( MAAT ) in Lisbon 's Belém district . This preceded the official Opening Ceremony of the 2018 contest , which took place at the nearby Electricity Museum . Format Visual design The twelve supplemental emblems for the 2018 Eurovision Song Contest . The theme for the contest , All Aboard ! , was unveiled on 7 November 2017 in a press conference held at the Lisbon Oceanarium . Its visual design features oceanic motifs that allude to Lisbon and Portugal 's location on the Atlantic coast and to the country 's seafaring history . Alongside the main emblem , which depicts a stylised seashell , twelve supplemental emblems were designed to symbolise different aspects of a marine ecosystem . The contest 's Executive Supervisor Jon Ola Sand remarked that the theme and logos `` resonate with Lisbon 's history and underscore Eurovision 's core values , including diversity , very well . The Ocean connects all of us and its variety can provide good inspiration for each of the participating broadcasters that we look forward to seeing in Lisbon next May . '' Presenters Presenters Daniela Ruah , Sílvia Alberto , Catarina Furtado , and Filomena Cautela On 8 January 2018 , RTP and EBU announced that the contest would be hosted for the first time by four female presenters , consisting of RTP hosts Sílvia Alberto , Filomena Cautela , and Catarina Furtado , together with actress Daniela Ruah .

The Blue Carpet opening ceremony was hosted by actress Cláudia Semedo , radio host Inês Lopes Gonçalves , actor / TV host Pedro Granger , and actor / director Pedro Penim . Granger and Penim moderated the press conferences , as well . Semi-final allocation draw The draw to determine the allocation of the participating countries into their respective semi-finals took place on 29 January 2018 at 13 : 00 CET , at Lisbon 's City Hall . The thirty - seven semi-finalists had been allocated into six pots , based on historical voting patterns as calculated by the contest 's official televoting partner Digame . Drawing from different pots helps to reduce the chance of so - called `` bloc voting '' and increase suspense in the semi-finals . The draw also determined which semi-final would be broadcast and voted by each of the six automatic finalist countries ( hosts Portugal and Big Five countries France , Germany , Italy , Spain , and the United Kingdom ) . The ceremony was hosted by contest presenters Sílvia Alberto and Filomena Cautela , and included the passing of a Eurovision insignia from Vitali Klitschko , the Mayor of Kiev ( host city of the previous contest ) , to Fernando Medina , the Mayor of Lisbon .

Active EBU members Andorra -- The Director General of Ràdio i Televisió d'Andorra ( RTVA ) announced on 14 May 2017 that Andorra would not participate in the contest , due to financial difficulties and the restructuring of the company . Bosnia and Herzegovina -- On 18 September 2017 , BHRT confirmed that Bosnia and Herzegovina would not return to the Eurovision Song Contest in 2018 . Luxembourg -- Steve Schmit , the Director of Programming at the Luxembourgish broadcaster ( RTL ) , explained last year the reasons against participating in the Eurovision Song Contest . He also underlined that Luxembourg 's chance for success in the contest is limited : `` I believe that ( with ) the enlargement of Eurovision , the days ( of victory ) are gone . With the new voting system , it is very unlikely that Luxembourg is successful . Small countries are somewhat more troubled now '' . Luxembourg last participated in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1993 . Monaco -- On 31 August 2017 , Monegasque broadcaster TMC confirmed that Monaco would not participate in the 2018 contest . Slovakia -- Eríka Rusnáková , press spokesperson of the Slovak broadcaster Radio and Television of Slovakia ( RTVS ) , confirmed on 11 September 2017 to Czech Eurovision website Eurocontest.cz that the country would not participate in the 2018 contest . Turkey -- On 12 July 2017 , Sertab Erener , who won for Turkey in 2003 , announced on an Instagram live chat that Turkey would return and wished luck to the next representative . maNga , the 2010 Turkish representatives , and Hadise , the 2009 Turkish representative , also expressed their interests for Turkey returning to the contest . Despite these statements , on 7 August 2017 , the Deputy Prime Minister of Turkey , Bekir Bozdağ , issued a statement saying that there were no plans for a return . The same day , TRT confirmed their non-participation in the 2018 contest . Associate EBU members Kazakhstan -- Khabar Agency became an associate member of the EBU on 1 January 2016 , opening up the possibility of future participation . They broadcast all the shows in 2017 . Furthermore , the winner of the Turkvision Song Contest 2014 , Zhanar Dugalova , said she would be interested in representing Kazakhstan in the contest . However , on 25 September , Khabar Agency told Esctoday that : `` We have no information about Kazakshtan 's participation in Eurovison 2018 yet '' , maintaining the possibility of the country being invited by the EBU , as it is entirely at the EBU 's discretion to extend an invitation like in the case of Australia . The EBU however , chose not to invite Kazakhstan , as seen in the list of participants . On 22 December 2017 , it was claimed that Channel 31 had finalised negotiations with the EBU , allowing Kazakhstan to debut in 2019 , however , on 23 December 2017 , the EBU told Esctoday that : `` Channel 31 Kazakhstan has indeed expressed interest in becoming a Member of the EBU and hence participate in the Eurovision Song Contest . However , since Channel 31 is outside the European Broadcasting Area and is also not a member of the Council of Europe , it is not eligible to become an active Member of the EBU '' . Non-ebu members Kosovo -- Kosovar media reported that RTK was hopeful that they would debut in the 2018 Eurovision Song Contest in Portugal . In an article published by RTK the Director of Television at the Kosovar broadcaster stated that he had received the support of national broadcasters across the Balkans to participate in the competition . However , both Bosnia - Herzegovina and Serbia had opposed such participation . The EBU then sent a letter to RTK explaining that Kosovo can not participate in the ESC , because it is not a UN member and it is not a fully recognised state . Liechtenstein -- On 1 September 2017 , 1 FL TV , the national broadcaster of the Principality of Liechtenstein confirmed that the country would not debut in 2018 . However , on 4 November 2017 , 1 FL TV announced that they are planning a debut in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2019 .

Ewan Spence and Lisa - Jayne Lewis ( WJFD - FM radio , final ) ; Portuguese : Ana Filipa Rosa ( WJFD - FM radio , final ) Incidents Accusations of cultural appropriation Following Israel 's Netta Barzilai 's performance of her song `` Toy '' , critics of the song accused Netta of culturally appropriating Japanese culture , with several users taking to social media such as Twitter to call the performance `` offensive '' . The accusations were made after she wore a kimono and buns , as well as Maneki - nekos being shown during the performance . The topic was debated on British morning show Good Morning Britain on 14 May 2018 in response , with television presenters Trisha Goddard and Piers Morgan defending Netta by stating that she was simply implementing elements of Japanese culture due to her own appreciation of it . English journalist Rebecca Reid disagreed , arguing `` It 's not a beautiful , loving representation of real Japanese culture . It 's a costume '' . Belarusian Song submission On 10 January 2018 , it had emerged on Russian networking site VK that Ukrainian singer Alekseev had performed a Russian - language version of his EuroFest entry `` Forever '' ( as Navsegda ) in May 2017 in Stavropol -- before 1 September 2017 , the submission deadline set by the EBU , potentially violating the rules of the contest . Six artists threatened to withdraw from the selection if it were allowed to compete , with Sofi Lapina actually doing so . Alekseev was ultimately allowed to compete by BTRC following a melodic revamp of the song , and went on to win the selection , thus representing Belarus in the Eurovision Song Contest 2018 . However , on 23 February 2018 , it was reported that the EBU had given Alekseev permission to perform his original English - language version of the song at the contest , and he would opt to sing that version of the song in May . A few weeks after that announcement , on 28 March 2018 Alekseev premiered a new official version of his Eurovision entry with a lighter intro and additional choir at the end of the track . He also confirmed that this version would be the one performed in Lisbon . Czech rehearsal injuries On 29 April 2018 , during the first rehearsal of the Czech Republic 's performance , singer Mikolas Josef reportedly sustained injuries to his back while rehearsing and was subsequently rushed to hospital . The singer updated his fans on Instagram , stating `` I can confirm that I got injured during the rehearsal and the situation got worse after several hours . I ca n't even walk now . Got back from the first hospital and I am now heading to another one '' . He stated that he would , however , `` perform no matter what '' . Josef performed in the first semi-final on 8 May with a slightly altered performance , owing to his injuries , and ultimately finished 6th in the Grand Final on 12 May , achieving Czech Republic 's best result to date . He was also the second Czech contestant to qualify for the Grand Final , the other being Gabriela Gunčíková in 2016 . Mango TV censorship During the Chinese broadcast of the first semi-final on Mango TV , both Albania and Ireland were edited out of the show , along with their snippets in the recap of all 19 entries . Albania was skipped due to a ban on television performers displaying tattoos that took effect in January 2018 , while Ireland was censored due to its representation of a homosexual couple on - stage . In addition , the LGBT flag and tattoos on other performers were also blurred out from the broadcast . As a result , the EBU has terminated its partnership with Mango TV , citing that censorship `` is not in line with the EBU 's values of universality and inclusivity and its proud tradition of celebrating diversity through music , '' which led to a ban on televising the second semi-final and the grand final in the country . A spokesperson for the broadcaster 's parent company Hunan TV said they `` were n't aware '' of the edits made to the programme . Ireland 's representative , Ryan O'Shaughnessy told the BBC in an interview , `` they have n't taken this lightly and I think it 's a move in the right direction , so I 'm happy about it . '' United Kingdom stage invasion The performance of SuRie , representing the United Kingdom , in the final was disrupted by a man who rushed onto the stage and grabbed her microphone , reportedly shouting `` Modern Nazis of the UK media , we demand freedom ! War is not peace . '' The man , later identified as ' Dr ACactivism ' , a political activist from London , climbed into a camera run to get access to the stage . SuRie was able to complete her performance , and after the song the broadcast cut to an unscheduled interview in the green room . The EBU offered SuRie and her team the opportunity to perform again , but she declined . SuRie later revealed that she had suffered several bruises on her right hand . For official release on YouTube , Eurovision edited out the interrupted performance and substituted SuRie 's Jury Night performance from the previous evening . The official video retains the unscheduled green room interview with the Ukrainian delegation that followed the stage invasion . The official DVD release also replaces the grand final performance with the previous evening 's jury show performance . Other Awards In addition to the main winner 's trophy , the Marcel Bezençon Awards and the Barbara Dex Award will be contested during the Eurovision Song Contest 2018 . Additionally , the OGAE voting poll took place before the final .

Muñiz , General Counsel Key document Department of Education Organization Act Website www.ed.gov The United States Department of Education ( ED or DoED ) , also referred to as the ED for ( the ) Education Department , is a Cabinet - level department of the United States government . It began operating on May 4 , 1980 , having been created after the Department of Health , Education , and Welfare was split into the Department of Education and the Department of Health and Human Services by the Department of Education Organization Act , which President Jimmy Carter signed into law on October 17 , 1979 . The Department of Education is administered by the United States Secretary of Education . It has under 4,000 employees ( 2018 ) and an annual budget of $68 billion ( 2016 ) . Its official abbreviation is `` ED '' ( `` DOE '' refers to the United States Department of Energy ) and is also often abbreviated informally as `` DoEd '' . Contents 1 Functions 2 Budget 3 History 3.1 Establishment 3.2 Early history 3.3 Later history 4 Organization 5 See also 5.1 Related legislation 6 References 7 Further reading 8 External links Functions ( edit ) The primary functions of the Department of Education are to `` establish policy for , administer and coordinate most federal assistance to education , collect data on US schools , and to enforce federal educational laws regarding privacy and civil rights . '' The Department of Education does not establish schools or colleges . Unlike the systems of most other countries , education in the United States is highly decentralized , and the federal government and Department of Education are not heavily involved in determining curricula or educational standards ( with the recent exception of the No Child Left Behind Act ) . This has been left to state and local school districts . The quality of educational institutions and their degrees is maintained through an informal private process known as accreditation , over which the Department of Education has no direct public jurisdictional control . The Department of Education is a member of the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness , and works with federal partners to ensure proper education for homeless and runaway youth in the United States . Opposition to the Department of Education mainly stems from conservatives , who see the department as an undermining of states rights , and libertarians who believe it results in a state - imposed leveling towards the bottom and low value for taxpayers ' money . Budget ( edit ) The U.S. Department of Education provides a service to the education system that acts as like a government for schooling around the country . This is the place where the rules are made that exist in our school system today . `` Since the Department of Education ( Education ) began operations in fiscal year 1980 , its mission has included promoting student achievement and ensuring equal access to educational opportunity . To do so , Education partners with state and local governments , which provide most of the resources to school districts for K - 12 programs '' . Civil Rights and Equal Opportunity is one of the most forefront issues that is discussed about within the U.S. Department of Education 's four walls . The goal of this agency is to make sure that every student in primary and secondary education has the tools that they need to succeed . Not all of their ideas always work out in the best favor of the students . Throughout recent history , the educational system has not always been focused on furthering the development of all students ( in regards to race and gender ) . However , coming out of the 20 century this ideal has been turned around and many new legislations have been put in place to break down these invisible walls that were surrounding the people who were affected by this hindrance . `` The U.S. , like other countries in the 21st century , is increasingly operating in an interconnected world . New structures require that teachers and our next generations of students prepare and expand ideas about their responsibilities as citizens '' . Pell Grants : $28.856 B ( 33.0 % ) Federal Direct Student Loan Program : $23.661 B ( 27.1 % ) Title I Grants : $14.41 B ( 16.5 % ) Special education : $12.522 B ( 14.3 % ) Other : $7.92 B ( 9.1 % ) Budget of the Department of Education for FY 2015 , showing its largest components Education in the United States By state and in insular areas By subject area History of Issues : Finance -- Law -- Literacy -- Reform Levels : Pre-kindergarten -- Primary -- Secondary -- Higher Organizations Education portal United States portal For 2006 , the ED discretionary budget was $56 billion and the mandatory budget contained $23 billion . In 2009 it received additional ARRA funding of $102 billion . As of 2011 , the discretionary budget is $70 billion . History ( edit ) Establishment ( edit ) A previous Department of Education was created in 1867 but was soon demoted to an Office in 1868 . As an agency not represented in the president 's cabinet , it quickly became a relatively minor bureau in the Department of the Interior . In 1939 , the bureau was transferred to the Federal Security Agency , where it was renamed the Office of Education . In 1953 , the Federal Security Agency was upgraded to cabinet - level status as the Department of Health , Education , and Welfare . In 1979 , President Carter advocated for creating a cabinet - level Department of Education . Carter 's plan was to transfer most of the Department of Health , Education , and Welfare 's education - related functions to the Department of Education . Carter also planned to transfer the education - related functions of the departments of Defense , Justice , Housing and Urban Development , and Agriculture , as well as a few other federal entities . Among the federal education - related programs that were not proposed to be transferred were Headstart , the Department of Agriculture 's school lunch and nutrition programs , the Department of the Interior 's Native Americans ' education programs , and the Department of Labor 's education and training programs . Upgrading Education to cabinet level status in 1979 was opposed by many in the Republican Party , who saw the department as unconstitutional , arguing that the Constitution does n't mention education , and deemed it an unnecessary and illegal federal bureaucratic intrusion into local affairs . However , many see the department as constitutional under the Commerce Clause , and that the funding role of the Department is constitutional under the Taxing and Spending Clause . The National Education Association supported the bill , while the American Federation of Teachers opposed it . As of 1979 , the Office of Education had 3,000 employees and an annual budget of $12 billion . Congress appropriated to the Department of Education an annual budget of $14 billion and 17,000 employees when establishing the Department of Education . During the 1980 presidential campaign , Gov. Reagan called for the total elimination of the U.S. Department of Education , severe curtailment of bilingual education , and massive cutbacks in the federal role in education . Once in office , President Reagan significantly reduced its budget . Early history ( edit ) The Republican Party platform of 1980 called for the elimination of the Department of Education created under Carter and President Ronald Reagan promised during the 1980 presidential election to eliminate it as a cabinet post , but he was not able to do so with a Democratic House of Representatives . In the 1982 State of the Union Address , he pledged : `` The budget plan I submit to you on Feb. 8 will realize major savings by dismantling the Department of Education . '' By 1984 the GOP had dropped the call for elimination from its platform , and with the election of President George H.W. Bush the Republican position evolved in almost lockstep with that of the Democrats , with Goals 2000 a virtual joint effort . After the Newt Gingrich - led `` revolution '' in 1994 had taken control of both Houses of Congress , federal control of and spending on education soared . That trend continued unabated despite the fact that the Republican Party made abolition of the Department a cornerstone of 1996 platform and campaign promises , calling it an inappropriate federal intrusion into local , state , and family affairs . The GOP platform read : `` The Federal government has no constitutional authority to be involved in school curricula or to control jobs in the market place . This is why we will abolish the Department of Education , end federal meddling in our schools , and promote family choice at all levels of learning . '' In 2000 , the Republican Liberty Caucus passed a resolution to abolish the Department of Education . Abolition of the organization was not pursued under the George W. Bush administration , which made reform of federal education a key priority of the President 's first term . In 2008 and 2012 , presidential candidate Ron Paul campaigned in part on an opposition to the Department . Later history ( edit ) A construction project to repair and update the building façade at the Department of Education headquarters in 2002 resulted in the installation of structures at all of the entrances to protect employees and visitors from falling debris . ED redesigned these protective structures to promote the No Child Left Behind Act . The structures were temporary and were removed in 2008 . Source : U.S. Department of Education , Under President George W. Bush , the Department primarily focused on elementary and secondary education , expanding its reach through the No Child Left Behind Act . The Department 's budget increased by $14 billion between 2002 and 2004 , from $46 billion to $60 billion . In the time after George W. Bush 's presidency and towards the end of President Barack Obama 's presidency , there was an extremely noticeable problem within the education system that was excluding many children from receiving the striving opportunities that they should have been given throughout their schooling careers . So , In December of 2015 President Barack Obama had instituted the Every Student Succeeds Act , which reauthorized the Elementary Secondary Education Act . `` In December 2015 , the Every Student Succeeds Act ( ESSA ) was signed into law , reauthorizing the Elementary and Secondary Education Act ( ESEA ) and replacing the No Child Left Behind Act ( NCLB ) . ESEA , the federal law that authorizes federal funding for K - 12 schools , represents the nation 's commitment to equal educational opportunity for all students and has influenced the education of millions of children . '' March 23 , 2007 , President George W. Bush signed into law H.R. 584 , which designates the ED Headquarters building as the Lyndon B. Johnson Department of Education Building . On February 7 , 2017 , Representative Thomas Massie ( R - KY ) introduced H.R. 899 , a bill to abolish the department . Massie 's bill , which is one sentence long , states , `` The Department of Education shall terminate on December 31 , 2018 .

who won the most superbowls in the nfl
List of Super Bowl champions - wikipedia List of Super Bowl champions Jump to : navigation , search The Super Bowl is an annual American football game that determines the champion of the National Football League ( NFL ) . The game culminates a season that begins in the previous calendar year , and is the conclusion of the NFL playoffs . The contest is held in an American city , chosen three to four years beforehand , usually at warm - weather sites or domed stadiums . Since January 1971 , the winner of the American Football Conference ( AFC ) Championship Game has faced the winner of the National Football Conference ( NFC ) Championship Game in the culmination of the NFL playoffs . The Packers defeated the Chiefs in the first AFL -- NFL Championship Game ( Super Bowl I ) Before the 1970 merger between the American Football League ( AFL ) and the National Football League ( NFL ) , the two leagues met in four such contests . The first two were known as the `` AFL -- NFL World Championship Game '' . Super Bowl III in January 1969 was the first such game that carried the `` Super Bowl '' moniker , the names `` Super Bowl I '' and `` Super Bowl II '' were only retroactively applied to the first two games . The NFC / NFL leads in Super Bowl wins with 26 , while the AFC / AFL has won 25 . Nineteen different franchises , including teams that relocated to another city , have won the Super Bowl . The Pittsburgh Steelers ( 6 -- 2 ) have won the most Super Bowls with six championships , while the New England Patriots ( 5 - 4 ) , the Dallas Cowboys ( 5 -- 3 ) , and the San Francisco 49ers ( 5 -- 1 ) have five wins . New England has the most Super Bowl appearances with nine , while the Buffalo Bills ( 0 -- 4 ) have the most consecutive appearances with four losses in a row from 1990 to 1993 . The Miami Dolphins are the only other team to have at least three consecutive appearances : 1972 -- 74 . The Denver Broncos ( 3 -- 5 ) have lost a record five Super Bowls . The New England Patriots ( 5 -- 4 ) , the Minnesota Vikings ( 0 -- 4 ) , and the Bills have lost four . The record for consecutive wins is two and is shared by seven franchises : the 1966 -- 67 Green Bay Packers , the 1972 -- 73 Miami Dolphins , the 1974 -- 75 and 1978 -- 79 Pittsburgh Steelers ( the only team to accomplish this feat twice ) , the 1988 -- 89 San Francisco 49ers , the 1992 -- 93 Dallas Cowboys , the 1997 -- 98 Denver Broncos , and the 2003 -- 04 New England Patriots . Among those , Dallas ( 1992 -- 93 ; 1995 ) and New England ( 2001 ; 2003 -- 04 ) are the only teams to win three out of four consecutive Super Bowls . The 1972 Dolphins capped off the only perfect season in NFL history with their victory in Super Bowl VII . The only team with multiple Super Bowl appearances and no losses is the Baltimore Ravens , who in winning Super Bowl XLVII defeated and replaced the 49ers in that position . Four current NFL teams have never appeared in a Super Bowl , including franchise relocations and renaming : the Cleveland Browns , Detroit Lions , Jacksonville Jaguars , and Houston Texans , though both the Browns ( 1964 ) and Lions ( 1957 ) had won NFL championship games prior to the creation of the Super Bowl .

Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( October 2015 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The song tells the story of a condemned criminal on the run to Mexico . Told from a first - person point of view , it describes how an outlaw and convicted multiple murderer , on the run from a death - by - hanging sentence , has to `` ride like the wind '' to reach `` the border of Mexico , '' where , presumably , the posse apparently in pursuit of him will not be able to reach him . Cross was on acid when he wrote the lyrics . `` We were living in Houston at the time , and on the way down to Austin to record the songs , it was just a beautiful Texas day . I took acid . So I wrote the words on the way down from Houston to Austin . '' In 1999 , the satirical newspaper The Onion published a story with the headline , `` Christopher Cross Finally Reaches Mexican Border '' ; the headline was a reference to the song , and the three - sentence story made several specific allusions to the lyrics . Cross appreciated the honor .

At George Bush Intercontinental Airport , the normal daily high temperature peaks at 95.0 ° F ( 35.0 ° C ) on 5 -- 12 August , with a normal of 102.4 days per year at or above 90 ° F ( 32 ° C ) and 3.5 days per year at or above 100 ° F ( 38 ° C ) . The average relative humidity ranges from over 90 percent in the morning to around 60 percent in the afternoon . Summer temperatures in Houston are very similar to average temperatures seen in tropical climates , such as in the Philippines and Central America . The value of relative humidity results in a heat index higher than the actual temperature . The highest temperature ever recorded at George Bush Intercontinental Airport was 109 ° F ( 43 ° C ) on September 4 , 2000 and on August 27 , 2011 . On June 29 , 2013 , the temperature at George Bush Intercontinental Airport reached 107 ° F ( 42 ° C ) , the highest ever recorded in June . Heat stroke can strike people who stay outdoors for long periods of time during the summer , making hydration essential for outdoor work and recreational activity . The 2014 summer season did not yield 100 + degree weather in response to the monsoon-esque rainfall during late June to August during a period where the Pacific Coast off Central America was heating up which evolved into the 2014 - 16 El Nino event - this cycle one existed between 1971 - 76 during post-El Nino cycles . Heat and humidity in Houston make air conditioning important in day - to - day life . Most indoor workers spend the hottest part of the day in air conditioning . After World War II , air conditioning stimulated the growth of Houston , called the most air - conditioned city in the world in 1950 . For construction workers , landscapers , and others who must work outdoors , there is little relief from the summer heat and humidity . Industrial workers , automobile mechanics and others who usually work in non-air conditioned indoor spaces often rely on large electric fans to provide some relief . Autumn ( edit ) Autumn in Houston is warm , with temperatures averaging in the upper 60s to lower 80s ° F ( 20 - 28 ° C ) during the day and in the 50s to lower 60s ° F ( 10 - 17 ° C ) at night . Cool fronts that move through the region during the fall can bring rain . Hurricanes can move into the area from the Gulf of Mexico , bringing heavy rains and high winds . However , most years see little or no significant hurricane activity . Flooding most frequently occurs in October and November . Most of these flood events result from remnants of Eastern Pacific cyclones interacting with upper - level boundaries ; October 2015 was the latest example of such an occurrence , wherein the remnants of Hurricane Patricia brought over 9 inches of rain to the city . The latest hurricane to reach Texas was Hurricane Harvey in August 2017 . Winter ( edit ) Winters in Houston are relatively mild and temperate compared to most areas of the United States . Houston winters are , on average , colder than South Florida and Southern California but warmer than Dallas , Atlanta , San Antonio , Austin and other inland southern cities . The average high in January , the coldest month , is 62.9 ° F ( 17.2 ° C ) and the low 43.2 ° F ( 6.2 ° C ) . George Bush Intercontinental Airport sees an average of 9.6 days per year of freezing temperatures . Cold fronts during the winter can drop nighttime lows into the 30s but usually above freezing . The coldest weather of the season often includes temperatures in the low 30s to mid-40s at night . Hard freezes are quite uncommon ; however , George Bush Intercontinental Airport has recorded at least one freeze every winter since it opened in 1969 , although areas in the central or southern parts of the metro area are consistently several degrees warmer on the coldest winter nights . Areas south of Interstate 10 can go for entire winters without a freeze . The coldest temperature ever recorded at George Bush Intercontinental Airport was 7 ° F ( − 14 ° C ) on December 23 , 1989 . Elsewhere , the temperature in Houston dropped to 5 ° F ( − 15 ° C ) on January 18 , 1930 . The all - time record low at Houston 's Hobby Airport , closer to the city , is 9 ° F ( − 13 ° C ) . In December , southward - moving cold fronts can bring cold rain , low wind chills , and , rarely , frozen precipitation . Early January is the coldest time of the year , with temperatures moderating slightly by February . Spring ( edit ) Spring comes with a gradual warm up from winter , lasting from March 20 through May . Temperatures are generally not hot yet , averaging from 75 -- 82 ° F ( 23.9 -- 27.8 ° C ) in the day and 56 -- 64 ° F ( 13.3 -- 17.8 ° C ) at night . Spring thunderstorms are common , often with spectacular lightning shows . This rainfall prompts Houston 's 10 - month - long `` growing season '' to begin . April sees the return of many types of insects , including butterflies and mosquitoes , to Houston 's warm climate . Precipitation ( edit ) Rainfall is the most common form of precipitation in Houston . The wettest month is June , with an average of 5.93 inches ( 151 mm ) of rain . Houston normally receives 49.77 inches ( 1,264 mm ) of precipitation on 104.0 days annually . The most precipitation to fall in one year was 83.02 inches ( 2,108.7 mm ) which occurred in 1979 . Houston has received less than 20 inches ( 510 mm ) of rain only once : 17.66 inches in 1917 . Flash flood warnings are common all year , and due to the flat landscape , heavy rains often threaten life and property in the city . Sea breeze showers which are monsoon - like ( especially during the summer months from a mesoscale convective cycle where the polar jet stream usually forms an omega block ) are common throughout the Texas Gulf Coast area ( from Brownsville to the Florida Peninsula ) which has a similar climate to areas like Mumbai and Kolkata - locals refer to the sea breeze showers as the Gulf Coast Monsoon ( also called the Gulf of Mexico or the Texas Monsoon ) , despite Houston being 50 feet above sea level . The sea breeze showers are also a contributor to the North American Monsoon . Sleet , snow , and ice rarely occur during most winters . Hail can accumulate , but only in small quantities . Extreme weather ( edit ) Houston has occasional severe weather , mostly flooding . Hurricanes that have the potential to landfall bring severe damage to the area . Seven major hurricanes have hit the Galveston and Houston areas in the past 100 years . Four have done significant damage to Houston . Hurricanes and tropical storms ( edit ) Because Houston is on the Gulf of Mexico , the city has a small chance of being hit by hurricanes or tropical storms every hurricane season ( June through November ) . In 1837 the Racer 's Storm passed just to the south of the town , raising water levels four feet . The Great Hurricane of 1900 destroyed the nearby ( and then much bigger ) city of Galveston , which is situated on a barrier island 50 mi ( 80 km ) southeast of downtown Houston . That hurricane weakened to a tropical storm by the time it reached Houston . The periphery of Hurricane Carla hit the city in 1961 , causing major damage to Houston . At the time of landfall , Carla was the most powerful tropical system to hit the Texas coast in over 40 years . In 1983 , the city was struck squarely by Hurricane Alicia , causing one billion dollars of damage to the city during a down period in the city 's economy . Tropical Storm Allison dumped up to 37 inches ( 940 mm ) of rain on parts of the city over a five - day period in 2001 , and was the most destructive and costly natural disaster in Houston history prior to Hurricane Harvey . Area flooding was catastrophic and widespread . The storm completely overwhelmed the flood control system and caused 22 deaths in Houston and $6.05 billion ( 2006 USD ) in damage . It is the only tropical storm in history to have its name retired . Tropical Storm Erin made landfall in August 2007 with strong rains . A total of 9 inches ( 230 mm ) of rain fell elsewhere than George Bush Intercontinental Airport on August 16 , and many roads and neighborhoods were flooded . Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County , Texas , halted its light rail and bus services in view of the effects . Four deaths in the city were attributed to the storm . The Houston Fire Department reported 72 rescue operations . Hurricane Ike made landfall near Galveston , Texas in September 2008 . Although only a category 2 storm ( out of 5 ) , Ike brought moderate rain but high winds for an unusually long duration ( upwards of nine hours ) . The roof of Reliant Stadium ( home of the Houston Texans NFL team ) was damaged and windows were blown out of several high - rise buildings in downtown Houston . Storm surge affected areas around Galveston Bay , stripping some coastal islands of homes . Devastated Galveston Island much resembled a war zone . Authorities prohibited non-emergency access to the island for many weeks . Hurricane Ike left ninety percent of people in the Houston Area without power . Never before had the city experienced such widespread or long - term power outage : no air conditioning , no refrigeration , no lights , and no phones . Day - to - day business slowed immensely . Area grocery stores were stripped bare and sold water and ice for cash by flashlight . Trucks from around the country brought in emergency supplies , especially water and ice . Most of the city was without power for a week -- some for 2 to 3 weeks . Hurricane Harvey made landfall in Rockport , Texas on August 25 , 2017 . By August 30 , Houston was flooded due to heavy rainfall from the hurricane . Flooding ( edit ) Flooding is a recurring problem in Houston . It is especially severe in low - lying areas on the far east end of town along the San Jacinto River . The flat wetlands and paved - over coastal prairie around Houston drain slowly and easily flood . The area is drained by a network of bayous ( small , slow - moving rivers , often dredged and enlarged to increase volume ) and man - made drainage ditches , which are usually dry most of the year . In fall , cool fronts bring in rainstorms and flooding is not uncommon . This might flood certain low - lying intersections , but does n't generally affect citizens or the business of the city . However , occasionally very heavy thunderstorms dump so much water on the city that widespread congestion and even property damage in low - lying areas result . Tropical Storm Allison in 2001 was so severe that many parts of town that had never flooded before were flooded seriously . Interstate 10 near downtown , which is below grade , was covered by over 10 ft ( 3.0 m ) of water . Another storm happened in June 2015 ( Tropical Storm Bill ) that had a similar impact on Houston , causing several highways to be closed due to the bayou overflowing ; this event followed flooding from May 24 - 26 . Another similar storm in April 2016 resulted in widespread , severe flooding across Houston and surrounding suburbs in an event later known as the `` Tax Day Floods '' . On August 25 , 2017 , Hurricane Harvey flooded Houston causing severe widespread damage and at least 14 deaths . Tornadoes ( edit ) Unlike Dallas , Houston is not in Tornado Alley , however smaller tornadoes can occur during severe weather . They are most likely to be found along frontal boundaries of an air mass during the spring months . Tornadoes in Houston usually measure a weak F1 on the older Fujita scale and cause light to moderate damage to well - constructed buildings . The strongest recorded tornado in Houston history was an F4 on November 21 , 1992 , part of a large outbreak of tornadoes in Harris County . Winter storms ( edit ) There are usually a few days of freezing ( < 32 ° F ( 0 ° C ) ) temperatures each year , though the average low in January , the coldest month , is still only 43 ° F ( 6 ° C ) or 24 ° F ( − 4 ° C ) . Snow falls infrequently in the Magnolia City . When it does occur , it almost invariably melts immediately on the ground with light accumulation on roofs and raised surfaces . Since 1895 , it has snowed 38 times in Houston at an average of about once every 10 years , though some decades have several instances of recorded snowfall while others have only one each ( e.g. , the 1930s and 1950s ) . The last recorded snowfall in Houston was on January 16 , 2018 . There were more incidences of snow in the 1980s on average than any other decade recorded , but the 2000s also witnessed more frequent and record - breaking snows . February 14 -- February 15 , 1895 : 20 inches ( 51 cm ) of snow , its largest snowfall from one storm on record . February 12 , 1960 : 4.4 inches ( 11 cm ) of snow . January 11 , 1973 : 2.0 inches ( 5.1 cm ) of snow . December 22 , 1989 : 1.7 inches ( 4.3 cm ) of snow with a record low of 7 ° F ( − 14 ° C ) on December 23 . December 10 , 2008 : Tied the earliest snowfall record . December 4 , 2009 : Broke the earliest snowfall record . December 7 , 2017 : 0.7 inches ( 2 cm ) of snow . The December 21 -- 24 , 2004 North American winter storm brought a white Christmas to the region . The average has the lowest recorded temperature for that month , 24 ° F ( − 4 ° C ) . The 2004 Christmas Eve snowstorm brought a never - before - seen white Christmas to the region . Average annual snowfall is very , very little above zero , being less than the measurable amount of 0.1 inches ( 2.5 mm ) . In descending order of frequency , the most snow has fallen in January , followed by February , December , and finally a single occurrence on March 10 , 1932 , which was also the lowest recorded temperature for that month , 22 ° F ( − 6 ° C ) . December 24 snowstorm , shown on satellite Occurrences of freezing rain , also known as ice storms , are slightly less rare than snow in Houston . Some of the most recent ice storms occurred in 1997 , 2007 , February 4 , 2011 , and January 16 , 2018 . An overnight event occurred from January 23 , 2014 to January 24 , another significant icing occurred a few days later on January 28 , and a third event took place on March 4 . These storms can be very disruptive since road crews are not equipped to handle such rare events over the city 's expansive size . When ice occurs , roads and schools are usually closed . The city 's Office of Emergency Management encourages driver 's to `` avoid driving unless absolutely necessary ... if roadways are at risk of icing . '' Typically , such ice storms affect mainly the northern / western areas of the metro , while the southern / eastern areas are left with just cold rain. The ice storm that occurred on January 16 , 2018 started as cold rain for several hours before changing to wintry mix and then eventually sleet and snow , Temps started in the low - mid 30s and quickly dropped to the 20s in the afternoon and then the teens by the evening / overnight hours which caused all the rain to turn to ice and thickness up to 1 ' on some roads , bridges and overpasses making it one of the worst winter storms in history . El Nino ( edit ) During El Niño , Houston winters are cooler and wetter than normal due to a stronger southern jet stream . Increased clouds during El Nino winters are what keep the temperatures from warming up . La Niña is where the jet stream is further north resulting in a warmer and drier winter . The chance of damage from tropical storms and hurricanes also goes up during La Niña events due to decreased Atlantic wind shear . Post-El Niño weather during the spring usually result in increased rainfall , as demonstrated with the Memorial Day 2015 and Tax Day / Memorial Day / early June 2016 flood events where the Houston Metro area ( and the rest of the state ) experienced a climate similar to the South Asian summer monsoon ( in this case with the state of Texas where a stalled low pressure system ( usually from an upper level low from the northeast Pacific Ocean which migrates east where the northern polar jet stream form the usual omega blocks ) originates over the Four Corners region or the Sierra Madre Occidental / Sierra Madre Oriental mountain ranges in northern Mexico ) . Environmental Issues ( edit ) Houston has had a troubled past with pollution of many types . This is due to the fact that Houston has been the home for the oil and gas industry since its inception in the early 1900s when there was little environmental regulation . Harris County , where the bulk of the city has been historically located , is home to 15 Environmental Protection Agency Superfund sites , more than any other area in Texas . The list contains numerous companies , streets and waterways that have been considered hazardous to humans in various ways . Air pollution ( edit ) Houston is well known for its oil and petrochemical industries , which are leading contributors to the city 's economy . The industries located along the ship channel , coupled with a growing population , have caused a considerable increase in air pollution for the city each year . Houston has excessive ozone levels and is ranked among the most ozone - polluted cities in the United States . Ground - level ozone , or smog , is Houston 's predominant air pollution problem . In 2011 , Houston was ranked as the 17th most polluted city in the US , according to the American Lung Association . A 2007 assessment found the following twelve air pollutants to be definite risks to health in Houston : ozone - respiratory and cardiovascular effects particulates less than 2.5 μm in diameter ( PM ) - respiratory and cardiopulmonary effects diesel particulate matter ( DPM ) - cancer 1 , 3 - butadiene - cancer and reproductive effects hexavalent chromium - cancer benzene - cancer ethylene dibromide - cancer acrylonitrile - cancer formaldehyde - cancer and respiratory effects acrolein - respiratory effects chlorine - respiratory effects hexamethylene diisocyanate - pulmonary and respiratory effects The State of Texas concluded that , since 2000 , the Manchester neighborhood in eastern Houston had the highest annual averages of 1 , 3 - Butadiene of any area in Texas . Houston 's air quality has often been compared to Los Angeles and Beijing . Houston has introduced many programs since the 2000 federal order to reduce air pollution in the city . The most notable project was the METRORail light rail system constructed in 2004 . The light rail system was designed to encourage Houstonians to utilize public transportation instead of their automobiles . It should be noted , however , that pollution rankings from the EPA and ALA are administered in terms of peak - based standards , focusing strictly on the worst days of the year ; on average , ozone levels in Houston are lower than those seen in many other cities of the country , due to dominant winds off the Gulf that ensure clean , marine air . Water pollution ( edit ) Houston has also seen recent improvements to the city 's waterways . The banks of Buffalo Bayou have been cleaned of garbage and have been turned into jogging trails and parks . Since the mid-1990s , Houston has seen a great increase in wildlife along the bayou due to many successful cleaning attempts . The Port of Houston has not seen any major cleaning attempts .

Its capital , located along its southeastern coast , is Port Moresby . The western half of New Guinea forms the Indonesian provinces of Papua and West Papua . At the national level , after being ruled by three external powers since 1884 , Papua New Guinea established its sovereignty in 1975 . This followed nearly 60 years of Australian administration , which started during World War I. It became an independent Commonwealth realm in 1975 with Queen Elizabeth II as its head of state and became a member of the Commonwealth of Nations in its own right . Papua New Guinea is one of the most culturally diverse countries in the world . It is also one of the most rural , as only 18 per cent of its people live in urban centres . There are 852 known languages in the country , of which 12 now have no known living speakers . Most of the population of more than 8 million people lives in customary communities , which are as diverse as the languages . The country is one of the world 's least explored , culturally and geographically . It is known to have numerous groups of uncontacted peoples , and researchers believe there are many undiscovered species of plants and animals in the interior . Papua New Guinea is classified as a developing economy by the International Monetary Fund . Strong growth in Papua New Guinea 's mining and resource sector led to the country becoming the sixth - fastest - growing economy in the world in 2011 . Growth was expected to slow once major resource projects came on line in 2015 . Mining remains a major economic factor , however . Local and national governments are discussing the potential of resuming mining operations at the Panguna mine in Bougainville Province , which has been closed since the civil war in the 1980s -- 1990s . Nearly 40 per cent of the population lives a self - sustainable natural lifestyle with no access to global capital . Most of the people still live in strong traditional social groups based on farming . Their social lives combine traditional religion with modern practices , including primary education . These societies and clans are explicitly acknowledged by the Papua New Guinea Constitution , which expresses the wish for `` traditional villages and communities to remain as viable units of Papua New Guinean society '' and protects their continuing importance to local and national community life .

British annexation of southeast New Guinea in 1884 Archaeological evidence indicates that humans first arrived in Papua New Guinea around 42,000 to 45,000 years ago . They were descendants of migrants out of Africa , in one of the early waves of human migration . Agriculture was independently developed in the New Guinea highlands around 7000 BC , making it one of the few areas in the world where people independently domesticated plants . A major migration of Austronesian - speaking peoples to coastal regions of New Guinea took place around 500 BC . This has been correlated with the introduction of pottery , pigs , and certain fishing techniques . In the 18th century , traders brought the sweet potato to New Guinea , where it was adopted and became part of the staples . Portuguese traders had obtained it from South America and introduced it to the Moluccas . The far higher crop yields from sweet potato gardens radically transformed traditional agriculture and societies . Sweet potato largely supplanted the previous staple , taro , and resulted in a significant increase in population in the highlands . Although by the late 20th century headhunting and cannibalism had been practically eradicated , in the past they were practised in many parts of the country as part of rituals related to warfare and taking in enemy spirits or powers . In 1901 , on Goaribari Island in the Gulf of Papua , missionary Harry Dauncey found 10,000 skulls in the island 's long houses , a demonstration of past practices . According to Marianna Torgovnick , writing in 1991 , `` The most fully documented instances of cannibalism as a social institution come from New Guinea , where head - hunting and ritual cannibalism survived , in certain isolated areas , into the Fifties , Sixties , and Seventies , and still leave traces within certain social groups . '' Little was known in Europe about the island until the 19th century , although Portuguese and Spanish explorers , such as Dom Jorge de Menezes and Yñigo Ortiz de Retez , had encountered it as early as the 16th century . Traders from Southeast Asia had visited New Guinea beginning 5,000 years ago to collect bird - of - paradise plumes . The country 's dual name results from its complex administrative history before independence . The word papua is derived from an old local term of uncertain origin . `` New Guinea '' ( Nueva Guinea ) was the name coined by the Spanish explorer Yñigo Ortiz de Retez . In 1545 , he noted the resemblance of the people to those he had earlier seen along the Guinea coast of Africa . Guinea , in its turn , is etymologically derived from the Portuguese word Guiné . The name is one of several toponyms sharing similar etymologies , ultimately meaning `` land of the blacks '' or similar meanings , in reference to the dark skin of the inhabitants . New Guinea from 1884 to 1919 . Germany and Britain controlled the eastern half of New Guinea . In the nineteenth century , Germany ruled the northern half of the country for some decades , beginning in 1884 , as a colony named German New Guinea . In 1914 after the outbreak of World War I , Australian forces landed and captured German New Guinea in a small military campaign and occupied it throughout the war . After the war , in which Germany and the Central Powers were defeated , the League of Nations authorised Australia to administer this area as a League of Nations mandate territory . The southern half of the country had been colonised in 1884 by the United Kingdom as British New Guinea . With the Papua Act 1905 , the UK transferred this territory to the newly formed Commonwealth of Australia , which took on its administration . Additionally , from 1905 , British New Guinea was renamed as the Territory of Papua . In contrast to establishing an Australian mandate in former German New Guinea , the League of Nations determined that Papua was an External Territory of the Australian Commonwealth ; as a matter of law it remained a British possession . The difference in legal status meant that until 1949 , Papua and New Guinea had entirely separate administrations , both controlled by Australia . These conditions contributed to the complexity of organising the country 's post-independence legal system . Australian forces attack Japanese positions during the Battle of Buna -- Gona , 7 January 1943 . During World War II , the New Guinea campaign ( 1942 -- 1945 ) was one of the major military campaigns and conflicts between Japan and the Allies . Approximately 216,000 Japanese , Australian , and US servicemen died . After World War II and the victory of the Allies , the two territories were combined into the Territory of Papua and New Guinea . This was later referred to as `` Papua New Guinea '' . The natives of Papua appealed to the United Nations for oversight and independence . The nation established independence from Australia on 16 September 1975 , becoming a Commonwealth realm , continuing to share Queen Elizabeth II as its head of state . It maintains close ties with Australia , which continues to be its largest aid donor . Papua New Guinea was admitted to membership in the United Nations on 10 October 1975 . Australian patrol officer in 1964 A secessionist revolt in 1975 -- 76 on Bougainville Island resulted in an eleventh - hour modification of the draft Constitution of Papua New Guinea to allow for Bougainville and the other eighteen districts to have quasi-federal status as provinces . A renewed uprising on Bougainville started in 1988 and claimed 20,000 lives until it was resolved in 1997 . Bougainville had been the chief mining region of the country , generating 40 % of the national budget . The native peoples felt they were bearing the adverse environmental effects of the mining , which poisoned the land , water and air , without gaining a fair share of the profits . The government and rebels negotiated a peace agreement that established the Bougainville Autonomous District and Province . The autonomous Bougainville elected Joseph Kabui as president in 2005 , who served until his death in 2008 . He was succeeded by his deputy John Tabinaman as acting president while an election to fill the unexpired term was organised . James Tanis won that election in December 2008 and served until the inauguration of John Momis , the winner of the 2010 elections . As part of the current peace settlement , a referendum on independence is planned to be held in Bougainville sometime before mid-2020 . Preparations were underway in 2015 . Numerous Chinese have worked and lived in Papua New Guinea , establishing Chinese - majority communities . Chinese merchants became established in the islands before European exploration . Anti-Chinese rioting involving tens of thousands of people broke out in May 2009 . The initial spark was a fight between ethnic Chinese and Papua New Guinean workers at a nickel factory under construction by a Chinese company . Native resentment against Chinese ownership of numerous small businesses and their commercial monopoly in the islands led to the rioting . The Chinese have long been merchants in Papua New Guinea . In the same year , Papua New Guinea asked various Southeast Asian nations for their support for Papua New Guinea 's full membership bid in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations ( ASEAN ) . Indonesia supported the bid after Papua New Guinea supported Indonesia 's hold on West Papua . However , the Christian - majority Philippines and Buddhist - majority Thailand , Vietnam , and Cambodia have expressed displeasure over Papua New Guinea 's anti-LGBT laws , stating that equality - friendly Timor - Leste would most likely be a more feasible ASEAN member state in the future . In 2012 , despite a refugee crisis at the border of Papua New Guinea and West Papua , the country was steadfast in its support of Indonesia , which promised Papua New Guinea a greater role in ASEAN in the future . By 2017 , the Indonesian - led genocide against West Papuan natives peaked with almost 25 % of the native population killed within a 50 - year period . The realisation caused massive backlash from Oceanian nations against Papua New Guinea 's policy on West Papua . In January 2017 , Papua New Guinea gave citizenship to 138 West Papuan refugees in a bid to calm tensions . In September 2017 , Papua New Guinea rejected the West Papuan Independence Petition in the United Nations General Assembly , to the pleasure of Indonesia . From March to April 2018 , a chain of earthquakes hit Papua New Guinea , causing various damage . Various nations from Oceania , Australia , the Philippines and Timor - Leste immediately sent aid to the country . Government and politics ( edit ) Main article : Politics of Papua New Guinea Papua New Guinea is a Commonwealth realm . Queen Elizabeth II is its sovereign and head of state . The constitutional convention , which prepared the draft constitution , and Australia , the outgoing metropolitan power , had thought that Papua New Guinea would not remain a monarchy . The founders , however , considered that imperial honours had a cachet . The monarch is represented by the Governor - General of Papua New Guinea , currently Bob Dadae . Papua New Guinea ( and the Solomon Islands ) are unusual among Commonwealth realms in that governors - general are elected by the legislature , rather than chosen by the executive branch . The Prime Minister heads the cabinet , which consists of 31 MPs from the ruling coalition , which make up the government . The current prime minister is Peter O'Neill . The unicameral National Parliament has 111 seats , of which 22 are occupied by the governors of the 22 provinces and the National Capital District ( NCD ) . Candidates for members of parliament are voted upon when the prime minister asks the governor - general to call a national election , a maximum of five years after the previous national election . In the early years of independence , the instability of the party system led to frequent votes of no confidence in parliament , with resulting changes of the government , but with referral to the electorate , through national elections only occurring every five years . In recent years , successive governments have passed legislation preventing such votes sooner than 18 months after a national election and within 12 months of the next election . In December 2012 , the first two ( of three ) readings were passed to prevent votes of no confidence occurring within the first 30 months . This restriction on votes of no confidence has arguably resulted in greater stability , although perhaps at a cost of reducing the accountability of the executive branch of government . Elections in PNG attract numerous candidates . After independence in 1975 , members were elected by the first - past - the - post system , with winners frequently gaining less than 15 % of the vote . Electoral reforms in 2001 introduced the Limited Preferential Vote system ( LPV ) , a version of the Alternative Vote . The 2007 general election was the first to be conducted using LPV . Prime Minister Peter O'Neill This section needs to be updated . Please update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information . ( October 2012 ) In 2011 there was a constitutional crisis between the parliament - elect Prime Minister , Peter O'Neill ( voted into office by a large majority of MPs ) , and Sir Michael Somare , who was deemed by the supreme court ( in a December Opinion , 3 : 2 ) to retain office . The stand - off between parliament and the supreme court continued until the July 2012 national elections , with legislation passed effectively removing the chief justice and subjecting the supreme court members to greater control by the legislature , as well as a series of other laws passed , for example limiting the age for a prime minister . The confrontation reached a peak , with the Deputy Prime Minister entering the supreme court during a hearing , escorted by some police , ostensibly to arrest the Chief Justice . There was strong pressure among some MPs to defer the national elections for a further six months to one year , although their powers to do that were highly questionable . The parliament - elect prime minister and other cooler - headed MPs carried the votes for the writs for the new election to be issued , slightly late , but for the election itself to occur on time , thereby avoiding a continuation of the constitutional crisis . The crisis was tense at times , but largely restricted to the political and legal fraternity , plus some police factions . The public and public service ( including most police and military ) stood back . It was a period when , with increased telecommunication access and use of social media ( notably Facebook and mobile phones ) , the public and students played some part in helping maintain restraint and demanding the leadership to adhere to constitutional processes . They insisted on having the elections so that the people could say who should be their legitimate representatives for the next five years . Under a 2002 amendment , the leader of the party winning the largest number of seats in the election is invited by the governor - general to form the government , if he can muster the necessary majority in parliament . The process of forming such a coalition in PNG , where parties do not have much ideology , involves considerable horsetrading right up until the last moment . Peter O'Neill emerged as Papua New Guinea 's prime minister after the July 2012 election , and formed a government with Leo Dion , the former Governor of East New Britain Province , as deputy prime minister . Law ( edit ) The Parliament building of Papua New Guinea in Port Moresby Main article : Law of Papua New Guinea The unicameral Parliament enacts legislation in the same manner as in other jurisdictions that have `` cabinet , '' `` responsible government , '' or `` parliamentary democracy '' : it is introduced by the executive government to the legislature , debated and , if passed , becomes law when it receives royal assent by the Governor - General . Most legislation is regulation implemented by the bureaucracy under enabling legislation previously passed by Parliament . All ordinary statutes enacted by Parliament must be consistent with the Constitution . The courts have jurisdiction to rule on the constitutionality of statutes , both in disputes before them and on a reference where there is no dispute but only an abstract question of law . Unusual among developing countries , the judicial branch of government in Papua New Guinea has remained remarkably independent , and successive executive governments have continued to respect its authority . The `` underlying law '' ( Papua New Guinea 's common law ) consists of principles and rules of common law and equity in English common law as it stood on 16 September 1975 ( the date of Independence ) , and thereafter the decisions of PNG 's own courts . The courts are directed by the Constitution and , latterly , the Underlying Law Act , to take note of the `` custom '' of traditional communities . They are to determine which customs are common to the whole country and may be declared also to be part of the underlying law . In practice , this has proved extremely difficult and has been largely neglected . Statutes are largely adapted from overseas jurisdictions , primarily Australia and England . Advocacy in the courts follows the adversarial pattern of other common - law countries . This national court system , used in towns and cities , is supported by a village court system in the more remote areas . The law underpinning the village courts is ' customary law ' . Foreign policy ( edit ) This section does not cite any sources . Please help improve this section by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( January 2018 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) In foreign policy , Papua New Guinea is a member of the Commonwealth of Nations , Pacific Islands Forum , and the Melanesian Spearhead Group ( MSG ) of countries . It was accorded Observer status within ASEAN in 1976 , followed later by Special Observer status in 1981 . It is also a member of APEC and an ACP country , associated with the European Union . The country has a low - key initiative when it comes to the Indonesia - sponsored genocide in West Papua due to its application in ASEAN , where the headquarters is in Jakarta . Papua New Guinea has positive ties with Australia and countries in Oceania . It also has good ties with fellow - Christian country , the Philippines , especially in the education sector . The country 's policy has been focusing on ties with Southeast Asia in recent years due to its application in ASEAN , which is supported by the Philippines and co-observer Timor - Leste . Military ( edit ) Main article : Papua New Guinea Defence Force The Papua New Guinea Defence Force ( PNGDF ) is the military organisation responsible for the defence of Papua New Guinea . Human rights ( edit ) Papua New Guinean children , men and women show their support for putting an end to violence against women during a White Ribbon Day march Main article : Human rights in Papua New Guinea See also : Sexual violence in Papua New Guinea Papua New Guinea is often ranked as likely the worst place in the world for violence against women . A 2013 study in The Lancet found that 27 % of men on Bougainville Island , Papua New Guinea , reported having raped a non-partner , while 14.1 % reported having committed gang rape . According to UNICEF , nearly half of reported rape victims are under 15 years of age and 13 % are under 7 years of age . A report by ChildFund Australia , citing former Parliamentarian Dame Carol Kidu , claimed 50 % of those seeking medical help after rape are under 16 , 25 % are under 12 , and 10 % are under 8 . The 1976 Sorcery Act imposed a penalty of up to 2 years in prison for the practice of `` black '' magic , until the Act was repealed in 2013 . An estimated 50 -- 150 alleged witches are killed each year in Papua New Guinea . There are also no protections given to LGBT citizens in the country . Homosexual acts are prohibited by law in Papua New Guinea ; it is one of the very few Christian countries in present time to criminalise homosexuality . Administrative divisions ( edit ) Main articles : Regions of Papua New Guinea , Provinces of Papua New Guinea , and Districts and LLGs of Papua New Guinea Papua New Guinea is divided into four regions , which are not the primary administrative divisions but are quite significant in many aspects of government , commercial , sporting and other activities . The nation has 22 province - level divisions : twenty provinces , the Autonomous Region of Bougainville and the National Capital District . Each province is divided into one or more districts , which in turn are divided into one or more Local - Level Government areas . Provinces are the primary administrative divisions of the country . Provincial governments are branches of the national government -- Papua New Guinea is not a federation of provinces . The province - level divisions are as follows : Central Chimbu ( Simbu ) Eastern Highlands East New Britain East Sepik Enga Gulf Madang Manus Milne Bay Morobe New Ireland Northern ( Oro Province ) Bougainville ( autonomous region ) Southern Highlands Western Province ( Fly ) Western Highlands West New Britain West Sepik ( Sandaun ) National Capital District ( Port Moresby ) Hela Jiwaka Provinces of Papua New Guinea . In 2009 , Parliament approved the creation of two additional provinces : Hela Province , consisting of part of the existing Southern Highlands Province , and Jiwaka Province , formed by dividing Western Highlands Province . Jiwaka and Hela officially became separate provinces on 17 May 2012 . The declaration of Hela and Jiwaka is a result of the largest liquefied natural gas ( LNG ) project in the country that is situated in both provinces . The government set 15 June 2019 as the voting date for an independence referendum in the Bougainville ( autonomous region ) . The Australian Strategic Policy Institute has said that there is a wide expectation Bougainville will vote to become independent . Geography ( edit ) Main article : Geography of Papua New Guinea Map of Papua New Guinea At 462,840 km ( 178,704 sq mi ) , Papua New Guinea is the world 's fifty - fourth - largest country . Including all its islands , it lies between latitudes 0 ° and 12 ° S , and longitudes 140 ° and 160 ° E . Located north of the Australian mainland , the country 's geography is diverse and , in places , extremely rugged . A spine of mountains , the New Guinea Highlands , runs the length of the island of New Guinea , forming a populous highlands region mostly covered with tropical rainforest , and the long Papuan Peninsula , known as the ' Bird 's Tail ' . Dense rainforests can be found in the lowland and coastal areas as well as very large wetland areas surrounding the Sepik and Fly rivers . This terrain has made it difficult for the country to develop transportation infrastructure . Some areas are accessible only on foot or by aeroplane . The highest peak is Mount Wilhelm at 4,509 metres ( 14,793 ft ) . Papua New Guinea is surrounded by coral reefs which are under close watch , in the interests of preservation . The country is situated on the Pacific Ring of Fire , at the point of collision of several tectonic plates . There are a number of active volcanoes , and eruptions are frequent . Earthquakes are relatively common , sometimes accompanied by tsunamis . The mainland of the country is the eastern half of New Guinea island , where the largest towns are also located , including Port Moresby ( capital ) and Lae ; other major islands within Papua New Guinea include New Ireland , New Britain , Manus and Bougainville . Papua New Guinea is one of the few regions close to the equator that experience snowfall , which occurs in the most elevated parts of the mainland . Borders ( edit ) The border between Papua New Guinea and Indonesia was confirmed by treaty with Australia before independence in 1974 . Maritime boundaries with Australia were confirmed by a treaty in 1978 . Ecology ( edit ) See also : Conservation in Papua New Guinea Mount Tavurvur Papua New Guinea 's highlands Papua New Guinea is part of the Australasia ecozone , which also includes Australia , New Zealand , eastern Indonesia , and several Pacific island groups , including the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu . Geologically , the island of New Guinea is a northern extension of the Indo - Australian tectonic plate , forming part of a single land mass which is Australia - New Guinea ( also called Sahul or Meganesia ) . It is connected to the Australian segment by a shallow continental shelf across the Torres Strait , which in former ages lay exposed as a land bridge , particularly during ice ages when sea levels were lower than at present . Consequently , many species of birds and mammals found on New Guinea have close genetic links with corresponding species found in Australia . One notable feature in common for the two landmasses is the existence of several species of marsupial mammals , including some kangaroos and possums , which are not found elsewhere . Papua New Guinea is a megadiverse country . Many of the other islands within PNG territory , including New Britain , New Ireland , Bougainville , the Admiralty Islands , the Trobriand Islands , and the Louisiade Archipelago , were never linked to New Guinea by land bridges . As a consequence , they have their own flora and fauna ; in particular , they lack many of the land mammals and flightless birds that are common to New Guinea and Australia . A tree - kangaroo in Papua New Guinea Australia and New Guinea are portions of the ancient supercontinent of Gondwana , which started to break into smaller continents in the Cretaceous era , 66 -- 130 million years ago . Australia finally broke free from Antarctica about 45 million years ago . All the Australasian lands are home to the Antarctic flora , descended from the flora of southern Gondwana , including the coniferous podocarps and Araucaria pines , and the broadleafed southern beech ( Nothofagus ) . These plant families are still present in Papua New Guinea . As the Indo - Australian Plate ( which includes landmasses of India , Australia , and the Indian Ocean floor in between ) drifts north , it collides with the Eurasian Plate . The collision of the two plates pushed up the Himalayas , the Indonesian islands , and New Guinea 's Central Range . The Central Range is much younger and higher than the mountains of Australia , so high that it is home to rare equatorial glaciers . New Guinea is part of the humid tropics , and many Indomalayan rainforest plants spread across the narrow straits from Asia , mixing together with the old Australian and Antarctic floras . PNG includes a number of terrestrial ecoregions : Admiralty Islands lowland rain forests -- forested islands to the north of the mainland , home to a distinct flora . Central Range montane rain forests Green tropical rainforest of Papua New Guinea bears a sharp contrast to nearby arid Australia . Huon Peninsula montane rain forests Louisiade Archipelago rain forests New Britain - New Ireland lowland rain forests New Britain - New Ireland montane rain forests New Guinea mangroves Northern New Guinea lowland rain and freshwater swamp forests Northern New Guinea montane rain forests Solomon Islands rain forests ( includes Bougainville Island and Buka ) Southeastern Papuan rain forests Southern New Guinea freshwater swamp forests Southern New Guinea lowland rain forests Trobriand Islands rain forests Trans Fly savanna and grasslands Central Range sub-alpine grasslands Three new species of mammals were discovered in the forests of Papua New Guinea by an Australian - led expedition . A small wallaby , a large - eared mouse and shrew - like marsupial were discovered . The expedition was also successful in capturing photographs and video footage of some other rare animals such as the Tenkile tree kangaroo and the Weimang tree kangaroo . Environmental issues ( edit ) Main article : Environmental issues in Papua New Guinea At current rates of deforestation , more than half of Papua New Guinea 's forests could be lost or seriously degraded by 2021 , according to a new satellite study of the region . Nearly one quarter of Papua New Guinea 's rainforests were damaged or destroyed between 1972 and 2002 . 2018 earthquake ( edit ) Main article : 2018 Papua New Guinea earthquake On February 25 , 2018 , an earthquake of magnitude 7.5 and depth of 35 kilometres struck the middle of Papua New Guinea . The worst of the damage was centred around the Southern Highlands region . As of March 1 there were 31 reported deaths , and that number was expected to rise . Economy ( edit ) Main article : Economy of Papua New Guinea Port Moresby 's central business district Papua New Guinea is richly endowed with natural resources , including mineral and renewable resources , such as forests , marine ( including a large portion of the world 's major tuna stocks ) , and in some parts agriculture . The rugged terrain -- including high mountain ranges and valleys , swamps and islands -- and high cost of developing infrastructure , combined with other factors ( including serious law and order problems in some centres and the system of customary land title ) makes it difficult for outside developers . Local developers are handicapped by years of deficient investment in education , health , ICT and access to finance . Agriculture , for subsistence and cash crops , provides a livelihood for 85 % of the population and continues to provide some 30 % of GDP . Mineral deposits , including gold , oil , and copper , account for 72 % of export earnings . Oil palm production has grown steadily over recent years ( largely from estates and with extensive outgrower output ) , with palm oil now the main agricultural export . In households participating , coffee remains the major export crop ( produced largely in the Highlands provinces ) , followed by cocoa and coconut oil / copra from the coastal areas , each largely produced by smallholders and tea , produced on estates and rubber . The Iagifu / Hedinia Field was discovered in 1986 in the Papuan fold and thrust belt . Former Prime Minister Sir Mekere Morauta tried to restore integrity to state institutions , stabilise the kina , restore stability to the national budget , privatise public enterprises where appropriate , and ensure ongoing peace on Bougainville following the 1997 agreement which ended Bougainville 's secessionist unrest . The Morauta government had considerable success in attracting international support , specifically gaining the backing of the International Monetary Fund ( IMF ) and the World Bank in securing development assistance loans . Significant challenges face Prime Minister Sir Michael Somare , including gaining further investor confidence , continuing efforts to privatise government assets , and maintaining the support of members of Parliament . In March 2006 , the United Nations Development Programme Policy called for Papua New Guinea 's designation of developing country to be downgraded to least - developed country because of protracted economic and social stagnation . However , an evaluation by the IMF in late 2008 found that `` a combination of prudent fiscal and monetary policies , and high global prices for mineral commodity exports , have ( sic ) underpinned Papua New Guinea 's recent buoyant economic growth and macroeconomic stability . By 2012 PNG had enjoyed a decade of positive economic growth , at over 6 % since 2007 , even during the Global Financial Crisis years of 2008 / 9 . PNG 's Real GDP growth rate as at 2011 was 8.9 % , '' and 9.2 % for 2012 , according to the Asian Development Bank . This economic growth has been primarily attributed to strong commodity prices , particularly mineral but also agricultural , with the high demand for mineral products largely sustained even during the crisis by the buoyant Asian markets , a booming mining sector , and particularly since 2009 by a buoyant outlook and the construction phase for natural gas exploration , production , and exportation in liquefied form ( liquefied natural gas or `` LNG '' ) by LNG tankers ( LNG carrier ) , all of which will require multibillion - dollar investments ( exploration , production wells , pipelines , storage , liquefaction plants , port terminals , LNG tanker ships ) . The first major gas project was the PNG LNG joint venture . ExxonMobil is operator of the joint venture , also comprising PNG company Oil Search , Santos , Kumul Petroleum Holdings ( Papua New Guinea 's national oil and gas company ) , JX Nippon Oil and Gas Exploration , the PNG government 's Mineral Resources Development Company and Petromin PNG Holdings . The project is an integrated development that includes gas production and processing facilities in the Hela , Southern Highlands and Western Provinces of Papua New Guinea , including liquefaction and storage facilities ( located northwest of Port Moresby ) with capacity of 6.9 million tonnes per year . There are over 700 kilometres ( 430 mi ) of pipelines connecting the facilities . It is the largest private - sector investment in the history of PNG . A second major project is based on initial rights held by the French oil and gas major Total S.A. and the US company InterOil Corp . ( IOC ) , which have partly combined their assets after Total agreed in December 2013 to purchase 61.3 % of IOC 's Antelope and Elk gas field rights , with the plan to develop them starting in 2016 , including the construction of a liquefaction plant to allow export of LNG . Total S.A. has separately another joint operating agreement with Oil Search . Further gas and mineral projects are proposed ( including the large Wafi - Golpu copper - gold mine ) , with extensive exploration ongoing across the country . Economic ' development ' based on the extractive industries carries difficult consequences for local communities . There has been much contention around river tailings in the vast Fly River , submarine tailings from the new Ramu - Nickel - cobalt mine , commencing exports in late 2012 ( after a delay from landowner - led court challenges ) , and from proposed submarine mining in the Bismarck Sea ( by Nautilus Minerals ) . One major project conducted through the PNG Department for Community Development suggested that other pathways to sustainable development should be considered . The PNG government 's long - term Vision 2050 and shorter - term policy documents , including the 2013 Budget and the 2014 Responsible Sustainable Development Strategy , emphasise the need for a more diverse economy , based upon sustainable industries and avoiding the effects of Dutch disease from major resource extraction projects undermining other industries , as has occurred in many countries experiencing oil or other mineral booms , notably in Western Africa , undermining much of their agriculture sector , manufacturing and tourism , and with them broad - based employment prospects . Measures have been taken to mitigate these effects , including through the establishment of a sovereign wealth fund , partly to stabilise revenue and expenditure flows , but much will depend upon the readiness to make real reforms to effective use of revenue , tackling rampant corruption and empowering households and businesses to access markets , services and develop a more buoyant economy , with lower costs , especially for small to medium - size enterprises . The Institute of National Affairs , a PNG independent policy think tank , provides a report on the business and investment environment of Papua New Guinea every five years , based upon a survey of large and small , local and overseas companies , highlighting law and order problems and corruption , as the worst impediments , followed by the poor state of transport , power and communications infrastructure . Land tenure ( edit ) The Ok Tedi Mine in southwestern Papua New Guinea The PNG legislature has enacted laws in which a type of tenure called `` customary land title '' is recognised , meaning that the traditional lands of the indigenous peoples have some legal basis to inalienable tenure . This customary land notionally covers most of the usable land in the country ( some 97 % of total land area ) ; alienated land is either held privately under state lease or is government land . Freehold title ( also known as fee simple ) can only be held by Papua New Guinean citizens . Only some 3 % of the land of Papua New Guinea is in private hands ; this is privately held under 99 - year state lease , or it is held by the State . There is virtually no freehold title ; the few existing freeholds are automatically converted to state lease when they are transferred between vendor and purchaser . Unalienated land is owned under customary title by traditional landowners . The precise nature of the seisin varies from one culture to another . Many writers portray land as in the communal ownership of traditional clans ; however , closer studies usually show that the smallest portions of land whose ownership can not be further divided are held by the individual heads of extended families and their descendants or their descendants alone if they have recently died . This is a matter of vital importance because a problem of economic development is identifying the membership of customary landowning groups and the owners . Disputes between mining and forestry companies and landowner groups often devolve on the issue of whether the companies entered into contractual relations for the use of land with the true owners . Customary property -- usually land -- can not be devised by will . It can only be inherited according to the custom of the deceased 's people . The Lands Act was amended in 2010 along with the Land Group Incorporation Act , intended to improve the management of state land , mechanisms for dispute resolution over land , and to enable customary landowners to be better able to access finance and possible partnerships over portions of their land , if they seek to develop it for urban or rural economic activities . The Land Group Incorporation Act requires more specific identification of the customary landowners than hitherto and their more specific authorisation before any land arrangements are determined ; ( a major issue in recent years has been a land grab , using , or rather misusing , the Lease - Leaseback provision under the Land Act , notably using ' Special Agricultural and Business Leases ' ( SABLs ) to acquire vast tracts of customary land , purportedly for agricultural projects , but in an almost all cases as a back - door mechanism for securing tropical forest resources for logging -- circumventing the more exacting requirements of the Forest Act , for securing Timber Permits ( which must comply with sustainability requirements and be competitively secured , and with the customary landowners approval ) . Following a national outcry , these SABLs have been subject to a Commission of Inquiry , established in mid-2011 , for which the report is still awaited for initial presentation to the Prime Minister and Parliament . Demographics ( edit ) Main article : Demographics of Papua New Guinea Huli wigman from the Southern Highlands <Th_colspan="4"> Population Year Million 1950 1.7 2000 5.6 2016 8.1 Papua New Guinea is one of the most heterogeneous nations in the world . There are hundreds of ethnic groups indigenous to Papua New Guinea , the majority being from the group known as Papuans , whose ancestors arrived in the New Guinea region tens of thousands of years ago . The other indigenous peoples are Austronesians , their ancestors having arrived in the region less than four thousand years ago . There are also numerous people from other parts of the world now resident , including Chinese , Europeans , Australians , Indonesians , Filipinos , Polynesians , and Micronesians ( the last four belonging to the Austronesian family ) . Around 40,000 expatriates , mostly from Australia and China , were living in Papua New Guinea in 1975 . Urbanisation ( edit ) <Th_colspan="10"> Largest cities and towns in Papua New Guinea www.geonames.org/PG/largest-cities-in-papua-new-guinea.html Rank Name Province Pop . Port Moresby Lae Port Moresby National capital district 283,733 Lae Morobe 76,255 Arawa Bougainville 40,266 Mount Hagen Western Highlands 33,623 5 Popondetta Northern Province 28,198 6 Madang Madang 27,419 7 Kokopo East New Britain 26,273 8 Mendi Southern Highlands 26,252 9 Kimbe West New Britain 18,847 10 Goroka Eastern Highlands 18,503 Languages ( edit ) Main article : Languages of Papua New Guinea The language families in Ross 's conception of the Trans - New Guinea language family Papua New Guinea has more languages than any other country , with over 820 indigenous languages , representing 12 % of the world 's total , but most have fewer than 1,000 speakers . The most widely spoken indigenous language is Enga , with about 200,000 speakers , followed by Melpa and Huli . Indigenous languages are classified into two large groups , Austronesian languages and non-Austronesian , or Papuan , languages . There are four official languages in Papua New Guinea : English , `` sign language '' ( which in practice means Papua New Guinean Sign Language ) , Tok Pisin and Hiri Motu . English is the language of government and the education system , but it is not spoken widely . The primary lingua franca of the country is Tok Pisin ( commonly known in English as New Guinean Pidgin or Melanesian Pidgin ) , in which much of the debate in Parliament is conducted , many information campaigns and advertisements are presented , and until recently a national newspaper , Wantok , was published . The only area where Tok Pisin is not prevalent is the southern region of Papua , where people often use the third official language , Hiri Motu . Although it lies in the Papua region , Port Moresby has a highly diverse population which primarily uses Tok Pisin , and to a lesser extent English , with Motu spoken as the indigenous language in outlying villages . With an average of only 7,000 speakers per language , Papua New Guinea has a greater density of languages than any other nation on earth except Vanuatu . Health ( edit ) Government expenditure health in 2014 accounted for 9.5 % of total government spending , with total health expenditure equating to 4.3 % of GDP . There were five physicians per 100,000 people in the early 2000s . Malaria is the leading cause of illness and death in New Guinea . In 2003 , the most recently reported year , 70,226 cases of laboratory - confirmed malaria were reported , along with 537 deaths . A total of 1,729,697 cases were probable . Papua New Guinea has the highest incidence of HIV and AIDS in the Pacific region and is the fourth country in the Asia Pacific region to fit the criteria for a generalised HIV / AIDS epidemic . Lack of HIV / AIDS awareness is a major problem , especially in rural areas . The 2010 maternal mortality rate per 100,000 births for Papua New Guinea was 250 . This is compared with 311.9 in 2008 and 476.3 in 1990 . The under - 5 mortality rate , per 1,000 births is 69 and the neonatal mortality as a percentage of under - 5s ' mortality is 37 . In Papua New Guinea , the number of midwives per 1,000 live births is 1 and the lifetime risk of death for pregnant women is 1 in 94 . Religion ( edit ) Main article : Religion in Papua New Guinea Citizen population in Papua New Guinea by religion , based on the 2011 census Roman Catholic ( 26 % ) Evangelical Lutheran Church of Papua New Guinea ( 18.4 % ) Seventh - day Adventist ( 12.9 % ) Pentecostal ( 10.4 % ) United Church in Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands ( 10.3 % ) Evangelical Alliance Papua New Guinea ( 5.9 % ) Anglican Church of Papua New Guinea ( 3.2 % ) Baptist ( 2.8 % ) Salvation Army ( 0.4 % ) Kwato Church ( 0.2 % ) Other Christian ( 5.1 % ) Non Christian ( 1.4 % ) Not stated ( 3.1 % ) The courts and government practice uphold the constitutional right to freedom of speech , thought , and belief , and no legislation to curb those rights has been adopted . The 2011 census found that 95.6 % of citizens identified themselves as members of a Christian church , 1.4 % were not Christian , 3.1 % did not answer this census question . These who stated no religion accounted for , approximately , 0 % . Many citizens combine their Christian faith with some traditional indigenous religious practices . Christianity in Papua New Guinea is predominantly made up of Protestants , who collectively constitute roughly 70 % of the total population . They are mostly represented by the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Papua New Guinea , the Seventh - day Adventist Church , diverse Pentecostal denominations , the United Church in Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands , the Evangelical Alliance Papua New Guinea , and the Anglican Church of Papua New Guinea . Apart from Protestants , there is a notable Roman Catholic minority with approximately 25 % of the population . There are approximately 2,000 Muslims in the country . The majority belong to the Sunni group , while a small number are Ahmadi . Non-traditional Christian churches and non-Christian religious groups are active throughout the country . The Papua New Guinea Council of Churches has stated that both Muslim and Confucian missionaries are active , and foreign missionary activity in general is high . Traditional religions are often animist . Some also tend to have elements of veneration of the dead , though generalisation is suspect given the extreme heterogeneity of Melanesian societies . Prevalent among traditional tribes is the belief in masalai , or evil spirits , which are blamed for `` poisoning '' people , causing calamity and death , and the practice of puripuri ( sorcery ) . Culture ( edit ) Main articles : Culture of Papua New Guinea , Music of Papua New Guinea , and Papua New Guinean cuisine Bilum bag from Goroka , Eastern Highlands Province A resident of Boga - Boga , a village on the southeast coast of mainland Papua New Guinea Asaro Mudmen A 20th - century wooden Abelam ancestor figure ( nggwalndu ) It is estimated that more than a thousand cultural groups exist in Papua New Guinea . Because of this diversity , many styles of cultural expression have emerged . Each group has created its own expressive forms in art , dance , weaponry , costumes , singing , music , architecture and much more . Most of these cultural groups have their own language . People typically live in villages that rely on subsistence farming . In some areas people hunt and collect wild plants ( such as yam roots and karuka ) to supplement their diets . Those who become skilled at hunting , farming and fishing earn a great deal of respect . On the Sepik river , there is a tradition of wood carving , often in the form of plants or animals , representing ancestor spirits . Seashells are no longer the currency of Papua New Guinea , as they were in some regions -- sea shells were abolished as currency in 1933 . This tradition is still present in local customs . In some cultures , to get a bride , a groom must bring a certain number of golden - edged clam shells as a bride price . In other regions , the bride price is paid in lengths of shell money , pigs , cassowaries or cash . Elsewhere , it is brides who traditionally pay a dowry . People of the highlands engage in colourful local rituals that are called `` sing sings '' . They paint themselves and dress up with feathers , pearls and animal skins to represent birds , trees or mountain spirits . Sometimes an important event , such as a legendary battle , is enacted at such a musical festival . The country possesses one ( 1 ) UNESCO World Heritage site , namely , Kuk Early Agricultural Site , which was inscribed in 2008 . The country , however , has no elements inscribed yet in the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Lists , despite having one of the widest array of intangible cultural heritage elements in the world . Sport ( edit ) Main article : Sport in Papua New Guinea Sport is an important part of Papua New Guinean culture and rugby league is by far the most popular sport . In a nation where communities are far apart and many people live at a minimal subsistence level , rugby league has been described as a replacement for tribal warfare as a way of explaining the local enthusiasm for the game ( a matter of life or death ) . Many Papua New Guineans have become instant celebrities by representing their country or playing in an overseas professional league . Even Australian rugby league players who have played in the annual State of Origin series , which is celebrated feverishly every year in PNG , are among the most well - known people throughout the nation . State of Origin is a highlight of the year for most Papua New Guineans , although the support is so passionate that many people have died over the years in violent clashes supporting their team . The Papua New Guinea national rugby league team usually plays against the Australian Prime Minister 's XIII ( a selection of NRL players ) each year , normally in Port Moresby . Although not as popular , Australian rules football is more significant in another way , as the national team is ranked second , only after Australia . Other major sports which have a part in the Papua New Guinea sporting landscape are association football , rugby union , basketball and , in eastern Papua , cricket . The capital city , Port Moresby , hosted the Pacific Games in 2015 . Education ( edit ) Main article : Education in Papua New Guinea A large proportion of the population is illiterate , with women predominating in this area . Much of the education in PNG is provided by church institutions . This includes 500 schools of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Papua New Guinea . Papua New Guinea has six universities apart from other major tertiary institutions . The two founding universities are the University of Papua New Guinea , based in the National Capital District , and the Papua New Guinea University of Technology , based outside of Lae , in Morobe Province . The four other universities which were once colleges were established recently after gaining government recognition . These are the University of Goroka in the Eastern Highlands province , Divine Word University ( run by the Catholic Church 's Divine Word Missionaries ) in Madang Province , Vudal University in East New Britain Province and Pacific Adventist University ( run by the Seventh - day Adventist Church ) in the National Capital District . Science and technology ( edit ) Papua New Guinea 's National Vision 2050 was adopted in 2009 . This has led to the establishment of the Research , Science and Technology Council . At its gathering in November 2014 , the Council re-emphasised the need to focus on sustainable development through science and technology . Vision 2050 's medium - term priorities are : emerging industrial technology for downstream processing ; infrastructure technology for the economic corridors ; knowledge - based technology ; Science and engineering education ; and to reach the target of investing 5 % of GDP in research and development by 2050 . ( There is no recent data for this indicator . ) According to Thomson Reuters ' Web of Science , Papua New Guinea had the largest number of publications ( 110 ) among Pacific Island states in 2014 , followed by Fiji ( 106 ) . Nine out of ten scientific publications from Papua New Guinea focused on immunology , genetics , biotechnology and microbiology . Nine out of ten were also co-authored by scientists from other countries , mainly Australia , the United States of America , United Kingdom , Spain and Switzerland . Forestry is an important economic resource for Papua New Guinea but the industry uses low and semi-intensive technological inputs . As a result , product ranges are limited to sawed timber , veneer , plywood , block board , moulding , poles and posts and wood chips . Only a few limited finished products are exported . Lack of automated machinery , coupled with inadequately trained local technical personnel , are some of the obstacles to introducing automated machinery and design . Policy - makers need to turn their attention to eliminating these barriers , in order for forestry to make a more efficient and sustainable contribution to national economic development . In Papua New Guinea , renewable energy sources represent two - thirds of the total electricity supply . In 2015 , the Secretariat of the Pacific Community observed that , ' while Fiji , Papua New Guinea and Samoa are leading the way with large - scale hydropower projects , there is enormous potential to expand the deployment of other renewable energy options such as solar , wind , geothermal and ocean - based energy sources ' . The European Union has funded the Renewable Energy in Pacific Island Countries Developing Skills and Capacity programme ( EPIC ) . Since its inception in 2013 , the programme has developed a master 's programme in renewable energy management at the University of Papua New Guinea and helped to establish a Centre of Renewable Energy at the same university . Papua New Guinea is one of the 15 beneficiaries of a programme on Adapting to Climate Change and Sustainable Energy worth € 37.26 million . The programme resulted from the signing of an agreement in February 2014 between the European Union and the Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat . The other beneficiaries are the Cook Islands , Fiji , Kiribati , Marshall Islands , Federated States of Micronesia , Nauru , Niue , Palau , Samoa , Solomon Islands , Timor - Leste , Tonga , Tuvalu and Vanuatu . Transport ( edit ) Main article : Transport in Papua New Guinea Transport in Papua New Guinea is heavily limited by the country 's mountainous terrain . As a result , air travel is the single most important form of transport for human and high density / value freight . Aeroplanes made it possible to open up the country during its early colonial period . Even today the two largest cities , Port Moresby and Lae , are only directly connected by planes . Port Moresby is not linked by road to any of the other major towns , and many remote villages can only be reached by light aircraft or on foot . Jacksons International Airport is the major international airport in Papua New Guinea , located 8 kilometres ( 5 mi ) from Port Moresby . In addition to two international airfields , Papua New Guinea has 578 airstrips , most of which are unpaved .

Succeeded by Qa'a . Qa'a 26 -- 33 years From c. 2910 BC Last pharaoh of Dynasty I Information about this dynasty is derived from a few monuments and other objects bearing royal names , the most important being the Narmer Palette and Narmer Macehead , as well as Den and Qa'a king lists . No detailed records of the first two dynasties have survived , except for the terse lists on the Palermo Stone . The account in Manetho 's Aegyptiaca contradicts both the archeological evidence and the other historical records : Manetho names nine rulers of the First Dynasty , only one of whose names matches the other sources , and offers information for only four of them . Egyptian hieroglyphs were fully developed by then , and their shapes would be used with little change for more than three thousand years . Large tombs of pharaohs at Abydos and Naqada , in addition to cemeteries at Saqqara and Helwan near Memphis , reveal structures built largely of wood and mud bricks , with some small use of stone for walls and floors . Stone was used in quantity for the manufacture of ornaments , vessels , and occasionally , for statues . Tamarix ( `` tamarisk '' or `` salt cedar '' ) was used to build boats such as the Abydos boats . One of the most important indigenous woodworking techniques was the fixed mortise and tenon joint . A fixed tenon was made by shaping the end of one timber to fit into a mortise ( hole ) that is cut into a second timber . A variation of this joint using a free tenon eventually became one of the most important features in Mediterranean and Egyptian shipbuilding . It creates a union between two planks or other components by inserting a separate tenon into a cavity ( mortise ) of the corresponding size cut into each component . '' Calcite dish . From Royal Tomb `` U '' , Semerkhet , at Abydos . Necklaces with different types of beads . Carnelian , coral , and garnet . Pottery jar with integral strainer . Human sacrifice ( edit ) Human sacrifice was practiced as part of the funerary rituals associated with all of the pharaohs of the first dynasty . It is clearly demonstrated as existing during this dynasty by retainers being buried near each pharaoh 's tomb as well as animals sacrificed for the burial . The tomb of Djer is associated with the burials of 338 individuals . The people and animals sacrificed , such as donkeys , were expected to assist the pharaoh in the afterlife . For unknown reasons , this practice ended with the conclusion of the dynasty .

As defined by the United States Census Bureau , an `` incorporated place '' includes a variety of designations , including city , town , village , borough , and municipality . A few exceptional Census Designated Places ( CDPs ) are also included in the Census Bureau 's listing of incorporated places . Consolidated city - counties represent a distinct type of government that includes the entire population of a county , or county equivalent . Some consolidated city - counties , however , include multiple incorporated places . This list presents only that portion ( or `` balance '' ) of such consolidated city - counties that are not a part of another incorporated place . This list refers only to the population of individual municipalities within their defined limits ; the populations of other municipalities considered `` suburbs '' of a central city are listed separately , and unincorporated areas within urban agglomerations are not included . Therefore , a different ranking is evident when considering U.S. metropolitan area populations .

A CDP is a concentration of population identified by the United States Census Bureau for statistical purposes . CDPs are delineated for each decennial census as the statistical counterparts of incorporated places such as cities , towns and villages . CDPs are populated areas that lack separate municipal government , but which otherwise physically resemble incorporated places . Unlike the incorporated cities in the main list , the US Census Bureau does not release annual population estimates for CDPs .

where is the black box located in a plane
Flight recorder - wikipedia Flight recorder Soviet MS - 61 Cockpit Voice Recorder An example of a flight data recorder ; the underwater locator beacon is the small cylinder on the far right . ( Translation of warning message in French : `` FLIGHT RECORDER DO NOT OPEN '' . ) The warning appears in English on the other side . A flight recorder is an electronic recording device placed in an aircraft for the purpose of facilitating the investigation of aviation accidents and incidents . Flight recorders are also known by the misnomer black box -- they are in fact bright orange to aid in their recovery after accidents . There are two different flight recorder devices : the flight data recorder ( FDR ) preserves the recent history of the flight through the recording of dozens of parameters collected several times per second ; the cockpit voice recorder ( CVR ) preserves the recent history of the sounds in the cockpit , including the conversation of the pilots . The two devices may be combined in a single unit . Together , the FDR and CVR give an accurate testimony , narrating the aircraft 's flight history , to assist in any later investigation . The two flight recorders are required by international regulation , overseen by the International Civil Aviation Organization , to be capable of surviving the conditions likely to be encountered in a severe aircraft accident . For this reason , they are typically specified to withstand an impact of 3400 g and temperatures of over 1,000 ° C ( 1,830 ° F ) , as required by EUROCAE ED - 112 . They have been a mandatory requirement in commercial aircraft in the United States since 1967 .

This is a magnetic tape unit built to an old standard TSO C84 as shown on the nameplate . The text on the side in French says `` flight recorder do not open '' Early designs ( edit ) One of the earliest and proven attempts was made by François Hussenot and Paul Beaudouin in 1939 at the Marignane flight test center , France , with their `` type HB '' flight recorder ; they were essentially photograph - based flight recorders , because the record was made on a scrolling eight meters long by 88 millimeters wide photographic film . The latent image was made by a thin ray of light deviated by a mirror tilted according to the magnitude of the data to record ( altitude , speed , etc . ) . A pre-production run of 25 `` HB '' recorders was ordered in 1941 and HB recorders remained in use in French test centers well into the seventies . In 1947 , Hussenot founded the Société Française des Instruments de Mesure with Beaudouin and another associate , so as to market his invention , which was also known as the `` hussenograph '' . This company went on to become a major supplier of data recorders , used not only aboard aircraft but also trains and other vehicles . SFIM is today part of the Safran group and is still present on the flight recorder market . The advantage of the film technology was that it could be easily developed afterwards and provides a durable , visual feedback of the flight parameters without needing any playback device . On the other hand , unlike magnetic bands or later flash memory - based technology , a photographic film can not be erased and recycled , and so it must be changed periodically . As such , this technology was reserved for one - shot uses , mostly during planned test flights ; and it was not mounted aboard civilian aircraft during routine commercial flights . Also , the cockpit conversation was not recorded . Another form of flight data recorder was developed in the UK during World War II . Len Harrison and Vic Husband developed a unit that could withstand a crash and fire to keep the flight data intact . This unit used copper foil as the recording medium with various styli indicating various instruments / aircraft controls which indented the copper foil . The copper foil was periodically advanced at set periods of time therefore giving a history of the instruments / control settings of the aircraft . This unit was developed at Farnborough for the Ministry of Aircraft Production . At the war 's end the Ministry got Harrison and Husband to sign over their invention to them and the Ministry patented it under British patent 19330 / 45 . This unit was the forerunner of today 's black boxes being able to withstand conditions that aircrew could not . The first modern flight recorder , called `` Mata Hari '' , was created in 1942 by Finnish aviation engineer Veijo Hietala . This black high - tech mechanical box was able to record all important aviation details during test flights of World War II fighter aircraft that the Finnish army repaired or built in their main aviation factory in Tampere , Finland . Australia ( edit ) In 1953 , Australian engineer David Warren conceived a device that would record not only the instruments reading , but also the cockpit voices , when working with the Australian Research Laboratories . He built the first prototype in 1958 . Warren , when working with the Defence Science and Technology Organisations ' Aeronautical Research Laboratory ( Melbourne , Australia ) , published a 1954 report entitled `` A Device for Assisting Investigation into Aircraft Accidents '' and built a prototype FDR called `` The ARL Flight Memory Unit '' in 1957 . The first coupled FDR / CVR prototype designed with civilian aircraft in mind , for explicit post-crash examination purposes , was produced in 1958 . However , aviation authorities from around the world were largely uninterested . This changed in 1958 when Sir Robert Hardingham , the Secretary of the British Air Registration Board , visited the ARL and was introduced to Warren . The Aeronautical Research Laboratory allocated Warren an engineering team to develop the prototype to airborne stage . The team , consisting of electronics engineers Lane Sear , Wally Boswell and Ken Fraser developed a working design incorporating a fire and shockproof case , a reliable system for encoding and recording aircraft instrument readings and voice on one wire , and a ground - based decoding device . The ARL system became the `` Red Egg '' , made by the British firm of S. Davall & Sons , Ltd. , of Greenford , Middlesex . The `` Red Egg '' got its name from its shape and bright red color . In 1965 the units were redesigned and moved to the rear of airplanes to improve the probability of successful data retrieval after a crash . United States ( edit ) NTSB investigators recover flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder from UPS Airlines Flight 1354 The `` Flight Recorder '' was invented and patented in the United States by Professor James J. `` Crash '' Ryan , a professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Minnesota from 1931 to 1963 . Ryan 's `` Flight Recorder '' patent was filed in August 1953 and approved on November 8 , 1960 ; see US Patent 2,959,459 . A second patent by Ryan for a `` Coding Apparatus For Flight Recorders and the Like '' is US Patent 3,075,192 dated January 22 , 1963 . An early prototype of the Ryan Flight Data Recorder is described in the January 2013 Aviation History Magazine article `` Father of the Black Box '' by Scott M. Fisher . Ryan , also the inventor of the retractable safety seat belt now required in automobiles , began working on the idea of a flight recorder in 1946 , and invented the device in response to the 1948 request from the Civil Aeronautics Board for development of a flight recorder as a means of accumulating data that could be used to get information useful in arriving at operating procedures designed to reduce air mishaps . The original device was known as the `` General Mills Flight Recorder '' . The benefits of the flight recorder and the coding apparatus for flight recorders were outlined by Ryan in his study entitled `` Economies in Airline Operation with Flight Recorders '' which was entered into the Congressional Record in 1956 . Ryan 's Flight Recorder maintained a continuing recording of aircraft flight data such as engine exhaust , temperature , fuel flow , aircraft velocity , altitude , control surfaces positions , and rate of descent . A `` Cockpit Sound Recorder '' ( CSR ) was independently invented and patented by Edmund A. Boniface , Jr. , an aeronautical engineer at Lockheed Aircraft Corporation . He originally filed with the US Patent Office on February 2 , 1961 , as an `` Aircraft Cockpit Sound Recorder '' . The 1961 invention was viewed by some as an `` invasion of privacy '' . Subsequently Boniface filed again on February 4 , 1963 for a `` Cockpit Sound Recorder '' ( US Patent 3,327,067 ) with the addition of a spring - loaded switch which allowed the pilot to erase the audio / sound tape recording at the conclusion of a safe flight and landing . Boniface 's participation in aircraft crash investigations in the 1940s and in the accident investigations of the loss of one of the wings at cruise altitude on each of two Lockheed Electra turboprop powered aircraft ( Flight # 542 operated by Braniff Airlines in 1959 and Flight # 710 operated by Northwest Orient Airlines in 1961 ) led to his wondering what the pilots may have said just prior to the wing loss and during the descent as well as the type and nature of any sounds or explosions that may have preceded or occurred during the wing loss . His patent was for a device for recording audio of pilot remarks and engine or other sounds to be `` contained with the in - flight recorder within a sealed container that is shock mounted , fireproofed and made watertight '' and `` sealed in such a manner as to be capable of withstanding extreme temperatures during a crash fire '' . The CSR was an analog device which provided a progressive erasing / recording loop ( lasting 30 or more minutes ) of all sounds ( explosion , voice , and the noise of any aircraft structural components undergoing serious fracture and breakage ) which could be overheard in the cockpit . Terminology ( edit ) GEE airborne equipment , with the R1355 receiver on the left and the Indicator Unit Type 62A ' black box ' on the right . The origin of the term `` black box '' is uncertain . In a systems engineering context ( since the 1960s when the term was spreading ) , the meaning is that the aircraft is modeled as a black box , and its behaviour can be understood from its recorded inputs , such as pilot instructions , and outputs , such as flight level data . The term `` black box '' is almost never used within the flight safety industry or aviation , which prefers the term `` flight recorder '' . The recorders are not permitted to be black in color , and must be bright orange , as they are intended to be spotted and recovered after incidents . The term `` black box '' has been popularised by the media in general . One explanation for popularization of the term `` black box '' comes from the early film - based design of flight data recorders , which required the inside of the recorder to be perfectly dark to prevent light leaks from corrupting the record , as in a photographer 's darkroom . Another possible origin of the term is World War II RAF jargon . Prior to the end of the war in 1945 , new electronic innovations , such as Oboe , GEE and H2S , were added to bombers on a regular basis . The prototypes were roughly covered in hand - made metal boxes , painted black to prevent reflections . After a time any piece of `` new '' electronics was referred to as the `` box - of - tricks '' ( as illusionist box ) or the `` black box '' . The first recorded use of the term `` black box '' in reference to flight data recorders and cockpit voice recorders was by Mr E. Newton of the AAIB at a meeting of the Aeronautical Research Council in August 1958 . Components ( edit ) Flight data recorder ( edit ) A typical flight recorder Cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder , each with an underwater locator beacon on the front An underwater locator beacon , with a ballpoint pen to provide scale A Cockpit Voice and Data Recorder ( CVDR ) , with its attached ULB visible on the left side of the unit A flight data recorder and a cockpit voice recorder installed on their mounting trays in the rear fuselage of an aircraft A flight data recorder ( FDR ; also ADR , for accident data recorder ) is an electronic device employed to record instructions sent to any electronic systems on an aircraft . The data recorded by the FDR are used for accident and incident investigation . Due to their importance in investigating accidents , these ICAO - regulated devices are carefully engineered and constructed to withstand the force of a high speed impact and the heat of an intense fire . Contrary to the popular term `` black box '' , the exterior of the FDR is coated with heat - resistant bright orange paint for high visibility in wreckage , and the unit is usually mounted in the aircraft 's tail section , where it is more likely to survive a severe crash . Following an accident , the recovery of the FDR is usually a high priority for the investigating body , as analysis of the recorded parameters can often detect and identify causes or contributing factors . Modern day FDRs receive inputs via specific data frames from the Flight Data Acquisition Units ( FDAU ) . They record significant flight parameters , including the control and actuator positions , engine information and time of day . There are 88 parameters required as a minimum under current US federal regulations ( only 29 were required until 2002 ) , but some systems monitor many more variables . Generally each parameter is recorded a few times per second , though some units store `` bursts '' of data at a much higher frequency if the data begin to change quickly . Most FDRs record approximately 17 -- 25 hours of data in a continuous loop . It is required by regulations that an FDR verification check ( readout ) is performed annually in order to verify that all mandatory parameters are recorded . Modern FDRs are typically double wrapped in strong corrosion - resistant stainless steel or titanium , with high - temperature insulation inside . Modern FDRs are accompanied by an underwater locator beacon that emits an ultrasonic `` ping '' to aid in detection when submerged . These beacons operate for up to 30 days and are able to operate while immersed to a depth of up to 6,000 meters ( 20,000 ft ) . Cockpit voice recorder ( edit ) Both side views of a cockpit voice recorder , one type of flight recorder A cockpit voice recorder ( CVR ) is a flight recorder used to record the audio environment in the flight deck of an aircraft for the purpose of investigation of accidents and incidents . This is typically achieved by recording the signals of the microphones and earphones of the pilots ' headsets and of an area microphone in the roof of the cockpit . The current applicable FAA TSO is C123b titled Cockpit Voice Recorder Equipment . Where an aircraft is required to carry a CVR and uses digital communications the CVR is required to record such communications with air traffic control unless this is recorded elsewhere . As of 2008 it is an FAA requirement that the recording duration is a minimum of two hours . A standard CVR is capable of recording 4 channels of audio data for a period of 2 hours . The original requirement was for a CVR to record for 30 minutes , but this has been found to be insufficient in many cases , significant parts of the audio data needed for a subsequent investigation having occurred more than 30 minutes before the end of the recording . The earliest CVRs used analog wire recording , later replaced by analog magnetic tape . Some of the tape units used two reels , with the tape automatically reversing at each end . The original was the ARL Flight Memory Unit produced in 1957 by Australian David Warren and an instrument maker named Tych Mirfield . Other units used a single reel , with the tape spliced into a continuous loop , much as in an 8 - track cartridge . The tape would circulate and old audio information would be overwritten every 30 minutes . Recovery of sound from magnetic tape often proves difficult if the recorder is recovered from water and its housing has been breached . Thus , the latest designs employ solid - state memory and use digital recording techniques , making them much more resistant to shock , vibration and moisture . With the reduced power requirements of solid - state recorders , it is now practical to incorporate a battery in the units , so that recording can continue until flight termination , even if the aircraft electrical system fails . Like the FDR , the CVR is typically mounted in the rear of the airplane fuselage to maximize the likelihood of its survival in a crash . Combined units ( edit ) With the advent of digital recorders , the FDR and CVR can be manufactured in one fireproof , shock proof , and waterproof container as a combined digital Cockpit Voice and Data Recorder ( CVDR ) . Currently , CVDRs are manufactured by L - 3 Communications , as well as by other manufacturers . Solid state recorders became commercially practical in 1990 , having the advantage of not requiring scheduled maintenance and making the data easier to retrieve . This was extended to the two - hour voice recording in 1995 . Additional equipment ( edit ) Since the 1970s , most large civil jet transports have been additionally equipped with a `` quick access recorder '' ( QAR ) . This records data on a removable storage medium . Access to the FDR and CVR is necessarily difficult because of the requirement that they survive an accident . They also require specialized equipment to read the recording . The QAR recording medium is readily removable and is designed to be read by equipment attached to a standard desktop computer . In many airlines , the quick access recordings are scanned for ' events ' , an event being a significant deviation from normal operational parameters . This allows operational problems to be detected and eliminated before an accident or incident results . Many modern aircraft systems are digital or digitally controlled . Very often , the digital system will include Built - In Test Equipment which records information about the operation of the system . This information may also be accessed to assist with the investigation of an accident or incident . Specifications ( edit ) Cockpit voice recorder memory module of PR - GTD , a Gol Transportes Aéreos Boeing 737 - 8EH SFP , found in the Amazon in Mato Grosso , Brazil . After the crash of Gol Transportes Aéreos Flight 1907 , Brazilian Air Force personnel show the recovered flight data recorder The design of today 's FDR is governed by the internationally recognized standards and recommended practices relating to flight recorders which are contained in ICAO Annex 6 which makes reference to industry crashworthiness and fire protection specifications such as those to be found in the European Organisation for Civil Aviation Equipment documents EUROCAE ED55 , ED56 fiken A and ED112 ( Minimum Operational Performance Specification for Crash Protected Airborne Recorder Systems ) . In the United States , the Federal Aviation Administration ( FAA ) regulates all aspects of US aviation , and cites design requirements in their Technical Standard Order , based on the EUROCAE documents ( as do the aviation authorities of many other countries ) . Currently , EUROCAE specifies that a recorder must be able to withstand an acceleration of 3400 g ( 33 km / s2 ) for 6.5 milliseconds . This is roughly equivalent to an impact velocity of 270 knots ( 310 mph ; 500 km / h ) and a deceleration or crushing distance of 45 cm . Additionally , there are requirements for penetration resistance , static crush , high and low temperature fires , deep sea pressure , sea water immersion , and fluid immersion . EUROCAE ED - 112 ( Minimum Operational Performance Specification for Crash Protected Airborne Recorder Systems ) defines the minimum specification to be met for all aircraft requiring flight recorders for recording of flight data , cockpit audio , images and CNS / ATM digital messages and used for investigations of accidents or incidents . When issued in March 2003 ED - 112 superseded previous ED - 55 and ED - 56A that were separate specifications for FDR and CVR . FAA TSOs for FDR and CVR reference ED - 112 for characteristics common to both types . In order to facilitate recovery of the recorder from an aircraft accident site they are required to be coloured bright yellow or orange with reflective surfaces . All are lettered `` FLIGHT RECORDER DO NOT OPEN '' on one side in English and the same in French on the other side . To assist recovery from submerged sites they must be equipped with an underwater locator beacon which is automatically activated in the event of an accident . Regulation ( edit ) In the investigation of the 1960 crash of Trans Australia Airlines Flight 538 at Mackay ( Queensland ) , the inquiry judge strongly recommended that flight recorders be installed in all Australian airliners . Australia became the first country in the world to make cockpit - voice recording compulsory . The Digital Flight Data Recorder from West Air Sweden Flight 294 . All data was collected , even though the rest of the aircraft was heavily fragmented The United States ' first CVR rules were passed in 1964 , requiring all turbine and piston aircraft with four or more engines to have CVRs by March 1 , 1967 . As of 2008 it is an FAA requirement that the CVR recording duration is a minimum of two hours , following the NTSB recommendation that it should be increased from its previously - mandated 30 - minute duration . As of 2014 , the United States requires flight data recorders and cockpit voice recorders on aircraft that have 20 or more passenger seats , or those that have six or more passenger seats , are turbine - powered , and require two pilots . For US air carriers and manufacturers , the National Transportation Safety Board ( NTSB ) is responsible for investigating accidents and safety - related incidents . The NTSB also serves in an advisory role for many international investigations not under its formal jurisdiction . The NTSB does not have regulatory authority , but must depend on legislation and other government agencies to act on its safety recommendations . In addition , 49 USC Section 1114 ( c ) prohibits the NTSB from making the audio recordings public except by written transcript . The ARINC Standards are prepared by the Airlines Electronic Engineering Committee ( AEEC ) . The 700 Series of standards describe the form , fit , and function of avionics equipment installed predominately on transport category aircraft . The FDR is defined by ARINC Characteristic 747 . The CVR is defined by ARINC Characteristic 757 . Proposed requirements ( edit ) Deployable recorders ( edit ) The NTSB recommended in 1999 that operators be required to install two sets of CVDR systems , with the second CVDR set being `` deployable or ejectable '' . The `` deployable '' recorder combines the cockpit voice / flight data recorders and an emergency locator transmitter ( ELT ) in a single unit . The `` deployable '' unit would depart the aircraft before impact , activated by sensors . The unit is designed to `` eject '' and `` fly '' away from the crash site , to survive the terminal velocity of fall , to float on water indefinitely , and would be equipped with satellite technology for immediate location of crash impact site . The `` deployable '' CVDR technology has been used by the US Navy since 1993 . The recommendations would involve a massive retrofit program . However , government funding would negate cost objections from manufacturers and airlines . Operators would get both sets of recorders for free : they would not have to pay for the one set they are currently required by law to carry . The cost of the second `` deployable / ejectable CVDR '' ( or `` Black Box '' ) was estimated at US $30 million for installation in 500 new aircraft ( about $60,000 per new commercial plane ) . In the United States , the proposed SAFE Act calls for implementing the NTSB 1999 recommendations . However , so far the SAFE ACT legislation has failed to pass Congress , having been introduced in 2003 ( H.R. 2632 ) , in 2005 ( H.R. 3336 ) , and in 2007 ( H.R. 4336 ) . Originally the `` Safe Aviation Flight Enhancement ( SAFE ) Act of 2003 '' was introduced on June 26 , 2003 by Congressman David Price ( NC ) and Congressman John Duncan ( Tennessee ) in a bipartisan effort to ensure investigators have access to information immediately following commercial accidents . On July 19 , 2005 , a revised SAFE Act was introduced and referred to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure of the US House of Representatives . The bill was referred to the House Subcommittee on Aviation during the 108th , 109th , and 110th Congresses . Image recorders ( edit ) The NTSB has asked for the installation of cockpit image recorders in large transport aircraft to provide information that would supplement existing CVR and FDR data in accident investigations . They have recommended that image recorders be placed into smaller aircraft that are not required to have a CVR or FDR . The rationale is that what is seen on an instrument by the pilots of an aircraft is not necessarily the same as the data sent to the display device . This is particularly true of aircraft equipped with electronic displays ( CRT or LCD ) . A mechanical instrument is likely to preserve its last indication , but this is not the case with an electronic display . Such systems , estimated to cost less than $8,000 installed , typically consist of a camera and microphone located in the cockpit to continuously record cockpit instrumentation , the outside viewing area , engine sounds , radio communications , and ambient cockpit sounds . As with conventional CVRs and FDRs , data from such a system is stored in a crash - protected unit to ensure survivability . Since the recorders can sometimes be crushed into unreadable pieces , or even located in deep water , some modern units are self - ejecting ( taking advantage of kinetic energy at impact to separate themselves from the aircraft ) and also equipped with radio emergency locator transmitters and sonar underwater locator beacons to aid in their location . After Malaysia Airlines flight 370 ( edit ) On March 12 , 2014 , in response to the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 , David Price re-introduced the SAFE Act in the US House of Representatives . The disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 demonstrated the limits of the contemporary flight recorder technology , namely how physical possession of the flight recorder device is necessary to help investigate the cause of an aircraft incident . Considering the advances of modern communication , technology commentators called for flight recorders to be supplemented or replaced by a system that provides `` live streaming '' of data from the aircraft to the ground . Furthermore , commentators called for the underwater locator beacon 's range and battery life to be extended , as well as the outfitting of civil aircraft with the deployable flight recorders typically used in military aircraft . Previous to MH370 , the investigators of the 2009 Air France Flight 447 urged to extend the battery life as `` rapidly as possible '' after the crash 's flight recorders went unrecovered for over a year . After Indonesia AirAsia flight 8501 ( edit ) On December 28 , 2014 , Indonesia AirAsia Flight 8501 , en route from Surabaya , Indonesia , to Singapore , crashed in bad weather , killing all 155 passengers and seven crew on board . On January 12 and 13 , 2015 , following the recovery of the flight recorders , an anonymous ICAO representative said : `` The time has come that deployable recorders are going to get a serious look . '' Unlike military recorders , which jettison away from an aircraft , signaling their location to search and rescue bodies , recorders on commercial aircraft remain inside the fuselage . A second ICAO official said that public attention had `` galvanized momentum in favour of ejectable recorders on commercial aircraft '' . Cultural references ( edit ) The artwork for the band Rammstein 's album Reise , Reise is made to look like a CVR ; it also includes a recording from a crash . The recording is from the last 1 -- 2 minutes of the CVR of Japan Airlines Flight 123 , which crashed on August 12 , 1985 , killing 520 people ; JAL 123 is the deadliest single - aircraft disaster in history . Members of the performing arts collective Collective : Unconscious made a theatrical presentation of a play called Charlie Victor Romeo with a script based on transcripts from CVR voice recordings of nine aircraft emergencies . The play features the famous United Airlines Flight 232 that landed in a cornfield near Sioux City , Iowa after suffering a catastrophic failure of one engine and most flight controls . Survivor , a novel by Chuck Palahniuk , is about a cult member who dictates his life story to a flight recorder before the plane runs out of fuel and crashes .

This requirement was intended to protect the nation from foreign influence . The U.S. Constitution uses but does not define the phrase `` natural born Citizen '' , and various opinions have been offered over time regarding its precise meaning . The consensus of early 21st - century constitutional scholars , together with relevant case law , is that natural - born citizens include , subject to exceptions , those born in the United States . Many scholars have also concluded that those who meet the legal requirements for U.S. citizenship `` at the moment of birth '' , regardless of place of birth , are also natural - born citizens . Every president to date was either a citizen at the adoption of the Constitution in 1789 or was born in the United States ; of these there have been seven that had at least one parent who was not born on U.S. soil . The natural - born - citizen clause has been mentioned in passing in several decisions of the United States Supreme Court , and by some lower courts that have addressed eligibility challenges , but the Supreme Court has never directly addressed the question of a specific presidential or vice-presidential candidate 's eligibility as a natural - born citizen . Many eligibility lawsuits from the 2008 , 2012 , and 2016 election cycles were dismissed in lower courts due to the challengers ' difficulty in showing that they had standing to raise legal objections . Additionally , some experts have suggested that the precise meaning of the natural - born - citizen clause may never be decided by the courts because , in the end , presidential eligibility may be determined to be a non-justiciable political question that can be decided only by Congress rather than by the judicial branch of government .

The Twelfth Amendment states , `` No person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States . '' The Fourteenth Amendment does not use the phrase natural - born citizen . It does provide , `` All persons born or naturalized in the United States , and subject to the jurisdiction thereof , are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside . '' Under Article One , representatives and senators are required to be U.S. citizens , but there is no requirement that they be natural born . History ( edit ) Antecedents in Britain ( edit ) The use of the term `` natural born '' was not without precedent . An early recorded mention was in Calvin 's Case ( 1608 ) , in terms of birth within the jurisdiction of the sovereignty of the King . Statutes in Britain prior to American independence used the phrase `` natural born subject '' . For example , clause III of the Foreign Protestants Naturalization Act 1708 provided : That the Children of all natural born Subjects born out of the Ligeance of Her Majesty Her Heires and Successors shall be deemed adjudged and taken to be natural born Subjects of this Kingdom to all Intents Constructions and Purposes whatsoever The Act was repealed ( except for the quoted clause III regarding foreign - born children ) by the Tories in 1711 by the statute 10 Anne c. 5 . Subsequently , the British Nationality Act 1730 provided : for the explaining the said recited Clause in the said Act ... ( t ) hat all Children born out of the Ligeance of the Crown of England , or of Great Britain , or which shall hereafter be born out of such Ligeance , whose Fathers were or shall be natural - born Subjects of the Crown of England , or of Great Britain , at the Time of the Birth of such Children respectively ... are hereby declared to be natural - born Subjects of the Crown of Great Britain , to all Intents , Constructions and Purposes whatsoever . Another use is in the Plantation Act 1740 : ( A ) ll persons born out of the legience of His Majesty , His Heirs , or Successors , who have ... or shall inhabit or reside for ... seven years or more in any of His Majesty 's colonies in America ... shall be deemed , adjudged , and taken to be His Majesty 's natural - born subjects of this Kingdom . Jurist William Blackstone wrote in 1765 that `` Natural - born subjects are such as are born within the dominions of the crown of England '' . Blackstone added that offspring who are not inhabitants may also be natural born subjects : But by several more modern statutes ... all children , born out of the king 's ligeance , whose fathers were natural - born subjects , are now natural - born subjects themselves , to all intents and purposes , without any exception ; unless their said fathers were attainted , or banished beyond sea , for high treason ; or were then in the service of a prince at enmity with Great Britain . In 1775 , however , Blackstone reversed his opinion and explained that the children `` are now deemed to be natural - born subjects '' rather than `` are now natural - born subjects . '' Similarly , Francis Plowden initially explained that an early English statute made foreign - born children of English parents `` in fact and law ... true native subjects '' and that the eighteenth century British statutes made persons natural born subjects by statute law just as others were natural born subjects by the common law . However , after further consideration he also reversed his opinion and concluded in 1785 that the statutes did not make the children natural born subjects -- rather , there remained a `` relict of alienage in them . '' Prior to Blackstone , Edward Coke offered a narrower opinion in Calvin 's Case . According to Coke : `` ( I ) f any of the King 's ambassadors in foreign nations , have children there of their wives , being English women , by the common laws of England they are natural - born subjects , and yet they are born out - of the King 's dominions . '' The term `` natural born '' has often been used synonymously with `` native born '' . The English lexicographer Samuel Johnson wrote in 1756 that the word `` natural '' means `` native , '' and that the word `` native '' may mean either an `` inhabitant '' or an `` offspring '' . Between 1776 and 1789 ( edit ) From the Declaration of Independence ( 1776 ) to the ratification of the Constitution ( 1789 ) , the thirteen states were independent of Britain , and during much of this time the Articles of Confederation tied together the country . The phrase `` natural born citizen '' was sometimes used during this period . An example occurred in 1784 when the Maryland General Assembly conferred citizenship on the ( French - born ) Marquis de Lafayette : Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Maryland -- that the Marquis de laFayette and his Heirs male forever shall be and they and each of them are hereby deemed adjudged and taken to be natural born Citizens of this State and shall henceforth be entitled to all the Immunities , Rights and Privileges of natural born Citizens thereof ... Constitutional Convention ( edit ) The Constitution does not explain the meaning of `` natural born '' . On June 18 , 1787 , Alexander Hamilton submitted to the Convention a sketch of a plan of government . The sketch provided for an executive `` Governour '' but had no eligibility requirements . At the close of the Convention , Hamilton conveyed a paper to James Madison he said delineated the Constitution that he wished had been proposed by the Convention ; he had stated its principles during the deliberations . Max Farrand wrote that it `` was not submitted to the Convention and has no further value than attaches to the personal opinions of Hamilton . '' Article IX , section 1 of Hamilton 's draft constitution provided : `` No person shall be eligible to the office of President of the United States unless he be now a Citizen of one of the States , or hereafter be born a Citizen of the United States . '' On July 25 , 1787 , John Jay wrote to George Washington , presiding officer of the Convention : Permit me to hint , whether it would not be wise and seasonable to provide a strong check to the admission of Foreigners into the administration of our national Government , and to declare expressly that the Command in chief of the American army shall not be given to , nor devolve on , any but a natural born Citizen . While the Committee of Detail originally proposed that the President must be merely a citizen , as well as a resident for 21 years , the Committee of Eleven changed `` citizen '' to `` natural born citizen '' , and the residency requirement to 14 years , without recorded explanation after receiving Jay 's letter . The Convention accepted the change without further recorded debate . Constitutionality of the natural - born - citizen clause ( edit ) In 2012 , Abdul Karim Hassan filed several unsuccessful lawsuits that claimed the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment had superseded the natural - born - citizen clause ; he had argued natural - born citizenship was a form of discrimination based on national origin . Proposed constitutional amendments ( edit ) More than two dozen proposed constitutional amendments have been introduced in Congress to relax the restriction . Two of the more well known were introduced by Representative Jonathan Bingham in 1974 , with the intent to allow German - born Secretary of State Henry Kissinger ( otherwise fourth in the line of succession ) to become eligible , and the Equal Opportunity to Govern Amendment by Senator Orrin Hatch in 2003 , intending to allow eligibility for Austrian - born Arnold Schwarzenegger . The Bingham amendment would have also made clear the eligibility of those born abroad to U.S. parents , while the Hatch one would have allowed those who have been naturalized citizens for twenty years to be eligible . Rationale ( edit ) St. George Tucker , an early federal judge , wrote in his 1803 edition of William Blackstone 's Commentaries on the Laws of England , perhaps the leading authority for the delegates to the Constitutional Convention for the terms used in the Constitution , that the natural born citizen clause is `` a happy means of security against foreign influence '' and that `` ( t ) he admission of foreigners into our councils , consequently , can not be too much guarded against . '' In a footnote , Tucker wrote that naturalized citizens have the same rights as the natural - born except `` they are forever incapable of being chosen to the office of president of the United States . '' In a speech before the Senate , delegate Charles Cotesworth Pinckney gave the rationale , `` to insure experience and attachment to the country . '' Professor Akhil Amar of Yale Law School claimed that there had been a perception on the part of those drafting the constitution that a member of the European aristocracy could immigrate and buy his way into power . Interpretations of the clause ( edit ) Naturalization acts of 1790 and 1795 ( edit ) Because of the large number of Framers who went on to serve in Congress , laws passed by the early sessions of Congress have often been looked to as evidence of the Framers ' intent . The Naturalization Act of 1790 stated that `` the children of citizens of the United States , that may be born beyond sea , or out of the limits of the United States , shall be considered as natural born citizens : Provided , That the right of citizenship shall not descend to persons whose fathers have never been resident in the United States . '' This act was repealed by the Naturalization Act of 1795 , which removed the characterization of such children as `` natural born '' , stating that `` the children of citizens of the United States , born out of the limits and jurisdiction of the United States , shall be considered as citizens of the United States '' while retaining the same residency restrictions as the 1790 act . Government officials ' interpretations ( edit ) 1800s ( edit ) John Bingham , an American lawyer and politician , held to the belief that natural born should be interpreted as born in the United States . In 1862 , in the House of Representatives he stated : The Constitution leaves no room for doubt upon this subject . The words `` natural born citizen of the United States '' appear in it , and the other provision appears in it that , `` Congress shall have power to pass a uniform system of naturalization . '' To naturalize a person is to admit him to citizenship . Who are natural born citizens but those born within the Republic ? Those born within the Republic , whether black or white , are citizens by birth -- natural born citizens . He reiterated his statement in 1866 : Every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is , in the language of your Constitution itself , a natural - born citizen ; but , sir , I may be allowed to say further that I deny that the Congress of the United States ever had the power , or color of power to say that any man born within the jurisdiction of the United States , not owing a foreign allegiance , is not and shall not be a citizen of the United States . Citizenship is his birthright and neither the Congress nor the States can justly or lawfully take it from him . Edward Bates also held to the belief that `` natural born '' should be interpreted as `` born in the United States '' . He also indicated that those born in the United States to alien parents , even if they reside elsewhere , are still considered natural born . In 1862 , Secretary of the Treasury Salmon P. Chase sent a query to Attorney General Edward Bates asking whether or not `` colored men '' can be citizens of the United States . The question arose because the Coast Guard had detained a schooner commanded by a free `` colored man '' who claimed he was a citizen of the United States . If he were a U.S. citizen the boat could be released , but otherwise -- the Civil War then being fought -- it would be confiscated . No information about the man 's birth or parentage was provided . Bates responded on November 29 , 1862 , with a 27 - page opinion -- considered of such importance that the government published it not only in the official volumes of Attorney - General opinions but also as a separate booklet -- concluding , I conclude that the free man of color , mentioned in your letter , if born in the United States , is a citizen of the United States . ( italics in original ) In the course of that opinion , Bates commented at some length on the nature of citizenship , and wrote , ... our constitution , in speaking of natural born citizens , uses no affirmative language to make them such , but only recognizes and reaffirms the universal principle , common to all nations , and as old as political society , that the people born in a country do constitute the nation , and , as individuals , are natural members of the body politic . ( italics in original ) In another opinion , dated September 1 , 1862 , Bates dealt with a question from the Secretary of State , of whether a person born in the U.S. to two non-citizens , who is taken with them back to their country , could , years later , re-enter the United States as of right , as a U.S. citizen . Bates wrote : I am quite clear in the opinion that children born in the United States of alien parents , who have never been naturalized , are native - born citizens of the United States , and , of course , do not require the formality of naturalization to entitle them to the rights and privileges of such citizenship . I might sustain this opinion by a reference to the well - settled principle of the common law of England on this subject ; to the writings of many of the earlier and later commentators on our Constitution and laws ; ... and lastly to the dicta and decisions of many of our national and state tribunals . But all this has been well done by Assistant Vice Chancellor Sandford , in the case of Lynch vs. Clarke , and I forbear . I refer to his opinion for a full and clear statement of the principle , and of the reasons and authorities for its support . Unlike Edward Bates , U.S. Secretary of State William Learned Marcy was equivocal about whether those born in the country of alien parents and who reside elsewhere are still considered citizens . In 1854 Marcy wrote John Y. Mason , the U.S. Minister to France : In reply to the inquiry ... whether `` the children of foreign parents born in the United States , but brought to the country of which the father is a subject , and continuing to reside within the jurisdiction of their father 's country , are entitled to protection as citizens of the United States '' , I have to observe that it is presumed that , according to the common law , any person born in the United States , unless he be born in one of the foreign legations therein , may be considered a citizen thereof until he formally renounces his citizenship . There is not , however any United States statute containing a provision upon this subject , nor , so far as I am aware , has there been any judicial decision in regard to it . U.S. Attorney General Edwards Pierrepont , however , shared Edward Bates ' opinion that those born in the country of alien parents and who reside elsewhere are still considered citizens , and he added that they should be entitled to be president of the United States , if elected . In 1875 Pierrepont was presented with a query from the Secretary of State , Hamilton Fish . A young man , named Arthur Steinkauler , had been born in Missouri in 1855 , a year after his father was naturalized a U.S. citizen . When he was four years old , his father returned to Germany with him and both had stayed there ever since . The father had relinquished his U.S. citizenship and the young man was now 20 years old and about to be drafted into the Imperial German army . The question was asked `` What was this young man 's situation as a native - born American citizen ? '' After studying the relevant legal authorities , Pierrepont wrote : Under the treaty ( of 1868 with Germany ) , and in harmony with American doctrine , it is clear that Steinkauler the father abandoned his naturalization in America and became a German subject ( his son being yet a minor ) , and that by virtue of German laws the son acquired German nationality . It is equally clear that the son , by birth , has American nationality , and hence he has two nationalities , one natural , the other acquired ... Young Steinkauler is a native - born American citizen . There is no law of the United States under which his father or any other person can deprive him of his birthright . He can return to America at the age of 21 , and in due time , if the people elect , he can become President of the United States ... I am of opinion that when he reaches the age of 21 years he can then elect whether he will return and take the nationality of his birth , with its duties and privileges , or retain the nationality acquired by the act of his father . 1900s ( edit ) Frederick van Dyne , the Assistant Solicitor of the U.S. Department of State ( 1900 -- 1907 ) indicated that children of citizens born outside the United States are also considered citizens . In 1904 , he published a textbook , Citizenship of the United States , in which he wrote : There is no uniform rule of international law covering the subject of citizenship . Every nation determines for itself who shall , and who shall not , be its citizens ... By the law of the United States , citizenship depends , generally , on the place of birth ; nevertheless the children of citizens , born out of the jurisdiction of the United States , are also citizens ... The Constitution of the United States , while it recognized citizenship of the United States in prescribing the qualifications of the President , Senators , and Representatives , contained no definition of citizenship until the adoption of the 14th Amendment , in 1868 ; nor did Congress attempt to define it until the passage of the civil rights act , in 1866 ... Prior to this time the subject of citizenship by birth was generally held to be regulated by the common law , by which all persons born within the limits and allegiance of the United States were deemed natural - born citizens . It appears to have been assumed by the Supreme Court of the United States in the case of Murray v . The Charming Betsy ( 1804 ) 2 Cranch ( 6 U.S. ) 64 , 119 , 2 L. Ed . 208 , 226 , that all persons born in the United States were citizens thereof ... In M'Creery v. Somerville ( 1824 ) 9 Wheat . ( 22 U.S. ) 354 , 6 L. Ed . 109 , which concerned the title to land in the state of Maryland , it was assumed that children born in that state to an alien were native - born citizens of the United States ... The Federal courts have almost uniformly held that birth in the United States , of itself , confers citizenship . Interpretations by the courts ( edit ) 1800s ( edit ) Although eligibility for the Presidency was not an issue in any 19th - century litigation , there have been a few cases that shed light on the definitions of natural born and native born citizen . The leading case , Lynch v. Clarke of 1844 , indicated that citizens born `` within the dominions and allegiance of the United States '' are citizens regardless of parental citizenship . This case dealt with a New York law ( similar to laws of other states at that time ) that only a U.S. citizen could inherit real estate . The plaintiff , Julia Lynch , had been born in New York while her parents , both British , were briefly visiting the U.S. , and shortly thereafter all three left for Britain and never returned to the U.S. The New York Chancery Court determined that , under common law and prevailing statutes , she was a U.S. citizen by birth and nothing had deprived her of that citizenship , notwithstanding that both her parents were not U.S. citizens or that British law might also claim her through her parents ' nationality . In the course of the decision , the court cited the Constitutional provision and said : Suppose a person should be elected president who was native born , but of alien parents ; could there be any reasonable doubt that he was eligible under the Constitution ? I think not . The position would be decisive in his favor , that by the rule of the common law , in force when the Constitution was adopted , he is a citizen . And further : Upon principle , therefore , I can entertain no doubt , but that by the law of the United States , every person born within the dominions and allegiance of the United States , whatever the situation of his parents , is a natural born citizen . It is surprising that there has been no judicial decision upon this question . The decision in Lynch was cited as persuasive or authoritative precedent in numerous subsequent cases , and reinforced the interpretation that `` natural born citizen '' meant born `` within the dominions and allegiance of the United States '' regardless of parental citizenship . For example , in an 1884 case , In re Look Tin Singg , the federal court held , that despite laws preventing naturalization of Chinese visitors , Chinese persons born in the United States were citizens by birth , and remained such despite any long stay in China . Citing Lynch , Justice Stephen J. Field wrote : After an exhaustive examination of the law , the Vice-Chancellor said that he entertained no doubt that every person born within the dominions and allegiance of the United States , whatever the situation of his parents , was a natural - born citizen , and added that this was the general understanding of the legal profession , and the universal impression of the public mind . The Lynch case was also cited as a leading precedent in the U.S. Supreme Court decision in United States v. Wong Kim Ark ( 1898 ) , which similarly held a child born in the United States of two Chinese parents became `` at the time of his birth a citizen of the United States '' . 1900s ( edit ) Consistent with the earlier decisions , in 1939 , the U.S. Supreme Court stated in its decision in Perkins v. Elg that a person born in America and raised in another country was a natural born citizen , and specifically stated that they could `` become President of the United States '' . The case was regarding a young woman , born in New York a year after her father became a naturalized U.S. citizen . However , when she was about four her parents returned to Sweden taking her with them , and they stayed in Sweden . At age 20 , she contacted the American embassy in Sweden and , shortly after her 21st birthday , returned to the United States on a U.S. passport and was admitted as a U.S. citizen . Years later , while she was still in America , her father in Sweden relinquished his American citizenship , and , because of that , the Department of Labor ( then the location of the Immigration & Naturalization Service ) declared her a non-citizen and tried to deport her . The young woman filed suit for a declaratory judgment that she was an American citizen by birth . She won at the trial level , and at the circuit court -- where she was repeatedly described as `` a natural born citizen '' -- and finally in the U.S. Supreme Court , where the court decision quoted at length from the U.S. Attorney General 's opinion in Steinkauler 's Case ( mentioned above ) including the comment that a person born in America and raised in another country could yet `` become President of the United States '' . Some federal cases argued for a narrow reading of the Fourteenth Amendment , according to which U.S. citizens were necessarily either born or naturalized in the United States , and any citizen who was not born in the United States must have been naturalized by operation of law , even if such naturalization was `` automatic '' at birth . In this view , such a person should not be considered a natural born citizen , but rather a `` naturalized '' citizen who is not eligible for the Presidency . In 1951 , the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit noted in Zimmer v. Acheson that `` ( t ) here are only two classes of citizens of the United States , native - born citizens and naturalized citizens '' , quoting a dictum by Justice Gray from United States v. Wong Kim Ark and Elk v. Wilkins . The court ruled that Zimmer , who was born abroad in 1905 to a U.S. citizen father and a noncitizen mother , was himself a citizen under the nationality law in force at the time of his birth , but `` his status as a citizen was that of a naturalized citizen and not a native - born citizen '' . In the 1956 case of Wong Kam Wo v. Dulles , the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit quoted Zimmer v. Acheson and United States v. Wong Kim Ark in support of a ruling that the statute that was in effect prior to 1940 granting citizenship to foreign - born children of U.S. citizens was a naturalization law rather than a provision for nationality at birth . In 1940 , however , the federal law was amended to explicitly define `` naturalization '' as conferring nationality after birth . In 1961 , the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Montana v. Kennedy that an individual who was born in 1906 in Italy to a U.S. citizen mother and a noncitizen father was not a U.S. citizen by birth under the nationality laws in force at the time of his birth . It observed that automatic citizenship was granted to children of U.S. citizen fathers and noncitizen mothers by an 1855 act of Congress , but the reverse situation was only addressed , non-retroactively , in 1934 . In 1971 , the Court encountered a similar situation in Rogers v. Bellei , where the individual in question was born after 1934 and so was granted automatic U.S. citizenship , though subject to residence requirements and was subject to expatriation . The Court `` appeared to assume or imply that such persons became citizens at birth by way of naturalization '' . More recent cases , particularly Nguyen v. INS and Robinson v. Bowen , relaxed this view , suggesting that the Fourteenth Amendment merely establishes a `` floor '' for birthright citizenship , and this category may be expanded by Congress . 2000s ( edit ) In 2009 in Ankeny v. Governor , the Indiana Court of Appeals reaffirmed that persons born within the borders of the United States are `` natural born Citizens '' , regardless of the citizenship of their parents . The court referred to the case of Wong Kim Ark , and provides a compilation of the arguments pertaining to this topic . A clarification to this interpretation was made in 2010 , where a three - judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit held that natural born citizens can lose their citizenship if their territory of birth later ceases to be U.S. territory . The case involved a Philippine - born litigant who could not claim U.S. citizenship on the basis of his parents , who lived all their lives in the Philippines , because they were born while the Philippines was U.S. territory prior to being given its independence . The Courts for the Second , Third , and Ninth Circuits have also held that birth in the Philippines at a time when the country was a territory of the United States does not constitute birth `` in the United States '' under the Citizenship Clause , and thus did not give rise to United States citizenship . In a 2012 New York case , Strunk v. N.Y. State Board of Elections , the pro se plaintiff challenged Barack Obama 's presence on the presidential ballot , based on his own interpretation that `` natural born citizen '' required the president `` to have been born on United States soil and have two United States born parents '' ( emphasis added ) . To this the Court responded , `` Article II , section 1 , clause 5 does not state this . No legal authority has ever stated that the Natural Born Citizen clause means what plaintiff Strunk claims it says ... Moreover , President Obama is the sixth U.S. President to have had one or both of his parents not born on U.S. soil '' . The opinion then listed Andrew Jackson , James Buchanan , Chester A. Arthur , Woodrow Wilson , and Herbert Hoover . Academic interpretations ( edit ) 1800s ( edit ) William Rawle , formerly the U.S. Attorney for Pennsylvania ( 1791 -- 1799 ) defined natural born citizen as every person born within the United States , regardless of the citizenship of their parents . In an 1825 treatise , A View of the Constitution of the United States of America , he wrote : The citizens of each state constituted the citizens of the United States when the Constitution was adopted ... ( He ) who was subsequently born the citizen of a State , became at the moment of his birth a citizen of the United States . Therefore every person born within the United States , its territories or districts , whether the parents are citizens or aliens , is a natural born citizen in the sense of the Constitution , and entitled to all the rights and privileges appertaining to that capacity ... Under our Constitution the question is settled by its express language , and when we are informed ... no person is eligible to the office of President unless he is a natural born citizen , the principle that the place of birth creates the relative quality is established as to us . James F. Wilson agreed with Rawle 's opinion , but added the exclusion of visiting foreign diplomats . During an 1866 House debate , he quoted Rawle 's opinion , and also referred to the `` general law relating to subjects and citizens recognized by all nations '' , saying : ... and that must lead us to the conclusion that every person born in the United States is a natural - born citizen of such States , except it may be that children born on our soil to temporary sojourners or representatives of foreign Governments , are native - born citizens of the United States . Supreme Court Justice Peter Vivian Daniel disagreed with this position and considered natural born citizen as every person born of citizen parents within the United States . In 1857 , in a concurring opinion in Dred Scott v. Sandford , he quoted an English - language translation of Emerich de Vattel 's 1758 treatise The Law of Nations ( Le Droit des gens ) , stating that `` The natives , or natural - born citizens , are those born in the country of parents who are citizens '' . This was quoted again in 1898 by Chief Justice Melville Fuller in his dissenting opinion in United States v. Wong Kim Ark . However , two paragraphs later , Justice Vattel disagrees and states , `` § 214 ... there are states , as , for instance , England , where the single circumstance of being born in the country naturalizes the children of a foreigner . '' Joseph Story , an Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court , believed that the term native citizen is synonymous with natural born citizen , though he does not define either term . In his 1840 guidebook to the Constitution , A Familiar Exposition of the Constitution of the United States , about the natural - born - citizen clause he wrote `` It is not too much to say that no one , but a native citizen , ought ordinarily to be ( e ) ntrusted with an office so vital to the safety and liberties of the people . '' This same wording also appeared in his 1834 work The constitutional class book : being a brief exposition of the Constitution of the United States : Designed for the use of the higher classes in common schools . 1900s ( edit ) Alexander Porter Morse , the lawyer who represented Louisiana in Plessy v. Ferguson , considered this connection between native born and natural born to signify that only a child of citizens should be allowed to run for President . In the Albany Law Journal , he wrote : If it was intended that anybody who was a citizen by birth should be eligible , it would only have been necessary to say , `` no person , except a native - born citizen '' ; but the framers thought it wise , in view of the probable influx of European immigration , to provide that the president should at least be the child of citizens owing allegiance to the United States at the time of his birth . It may be observed in passing that the current phrase `` native - born citizen '' is well understood ; but it is pleonasm and should be discarded ; and the correct designation , `` native citizen '' should be substituted in all constitutional and statutory enactments , in judicial decisions and in legal discussions where accuracy and precise language are essential to intelligent discussion . 2000s ( edit ) Black 's Law Dictionary ( 9th Edition ) defines `` Natural Born Citizen '' as `` A person born within the jurisdiction of a national government '' . Foreign soil & territories ( edit ) In 2000 , the Congressional Research Service ( CRS ) , in one of its reports , wrote that most constitutional scholars interpret the natural born citizen clause to include citizens born outside the United States to parents who are U.S. citizens . This same CRS report also asserts that citizens born in the District of Columbia , Guam , Puerto Rico , and the U.S. Virgin Islands , are legally defined as `` natural born '' citizens and are , therefore , also eligible to be elected President . This opinion was reaffirmed in a 2009 CRS report , which stated : Considering the history of the constitutional qualifications provision , the common use and meaning of the phrase `` natural - born subject '' in England and in the Colonies in the 1700s , the clause 's apparent intent , the subsequent action of the first Congress in enacting the Naturalization Act of 1790 ( expressly defining the term `` natural born citizen '' to include a person born abroad to parents who are United States citizens ) , as well as subsequent Supreme Court dicta , it appears that the most logical inferences would indicate that the phrase `` natural born Citizen '' would mean a person who is entitled to U.S. citizenship `` at birth '' or `` by birth '' . The interpretation of natural born being the equivalent of a citizen at birth was repeated in a 2011 CRS report and a 2016 CRS report . The 2011 report stated : The weight of legal and historical authority indicates that the term `` natural born '' citizen would mean a person who is entitled to U.S. citizenship `` by birth '' or `` at birth , '' either by being born `` in '' the United States and under its jurisdiction , even those born to alien parents ; by being born abroad to U.S. citizen - parents ; or by being born in other situations meeting legal requirements for U.S. citizenship `` at birth '' . Such term , however , would not include a person who was not a U.S. citizen by birth or at birth , and who was thus born an `` alien '' required to go through the legal process of `` naturalization '' to become a U.S. citizen . The 2016 report similarly stated : Although the eligibility of U.S. born citizens has been settled law for more than a century , there have been legitimate legal issues raised concerning those born outside of the country to U.S. citizens . From historical material and case law , it appears that the common understanding of the term `` natural born '' in England and in the American colonies in the 1700s included both the strict common law meaning as born in the territory ( jus soli ) , as well as the statutory laws adopted in England since at least 1350 , which included children born abroad to British fathers ( jus sanguinis , the law of descent ) . Legal scholars in the field of citizenship have asserted that this common understanding and legal meaning in England and in the American colonies was incorporated into the usage and intent of the term in the U.S. Constitution to include those who are citizens at birth . Gabriel J. Chin , Professor of Law at UC Davis School of Law , held the opinion that the term `` natural born '' is ambiguous and citizenship - granting authority has changed over the years . He notes that persons born outside the United States to U.S. - citizen parents have not always been born citizens . For example , foreign - born children of persons who became citizens between April 14 , 1802 and 1854 were aliens . He also believed that children born in the Panama Canal Zone to at least one U.S. then - citizen before August 4 , 1937 , when Congress granted citizenship to all such persons , were born without American citizenship . Congress possesses the authority either to grant not only citizenship ( as is undisputed ) but the more specific status of a `` natural born '' citizen , with an affirmative answer raising the question of whether it can also act to remove that status ( and thereby disqualify individuals from the Presidency through action short of stripping them of their citizenship ) , or to issue `` declarations '' regarding the meaning of preexisting law ( in this case , U.S. citizenship law between the aforementioned dates ) and having binding authority , a claim likely to violate separation of powers given the Constitution 's provisions in Article III that `` ( t ) he judicial Power of the United States ( ) shall be vested in one supreme Court ( ) and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish '' ( Section 1 ) and that `` ( t ) he judicial power shall extend to all cases , in law and equity , arising under this Constitution , the laws of the United States , and treaties made , or which shall be made , under their authority '' ( Section 2 ) and the statute ( currently codified at 8 U.S.C. § 1403 ( a ) ) -- which states only that `` any person ( fitting the above description ) is declared to be a citizen of the United States '' and neither expressly claims that its declaration ( whether a grant or an interpretation ) has retroactive rather than merely prospective effect ( contrast the locution `` to have been a citizen of the United States ( from birth ) '' ) nor in any way mentions `` natural born '' status ( instead conferring or recognizing the preexistence only of `` citizen ( ship ) '' generally ) -- in fact grants or recognizes citizenship from birth , let alone status as a natural born citizen ( to whatever extent the requirements of that status exceed those for citizenship from birth ) . In 2009 , G. Edward `` Ted '' White , Professor of Law at the University of Virginia , stated the term refers to anyone born on U.S. soil or anyone born on foreign soil to American citizen parents . Unlike Chin and White , Mary McManamon , Professor of Law at Widener University School of Law , has argued in the Catholic University Law Review that , aside from children born to foreign ambassadors or to hostile soldiers on U.S. territory , both of whom owe allegiance to a different sovereign , a natural born citizen must be born in the United States . She claims that common law provides an exception for the children of U.S. ambassadors born abroad and the children of American soldiers while engaged in hostilities . Thus , with these two limited exceptions , she equates `` natural born '' with `` native born '' . Professor Einer Elhauge of Harvard Law School agrees with Professor McManamon that `` natural born '' means `` native born '' and therefore the wording of the Constitution `` does not permit his ( Ted Cruz 's ) candidacy , '' referring to a candidate who was born in Canada to one U.S. citizen parent . Professor Robert Clinton at the Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law at Arizona State University is also of the opinion that `` natural born citizen '' means `` born in the United States . '' University of Chicago Professor Eric Posner also concludes that `` natural born citizen '' means a `` person born in the ( United States ) '' . Former Chief Justice of the New York Court of Appeals , Sol Wachtler , concludes the same . Their conclusion is consistent with the position that the eighteenth century legal usage of the term `` shall be considered as natural born '' in the Naturalization Act of 1790 merely naturalized persons or granted them limited rights of the natural born . American soil ( edit ) There is consensus among academics that those born on American soil , except children born to foreign ambassadors or to hostile soldiers on U.S. territory , both of whom owe allegiance to a different sovereign , are natural born citizens , or jus soli , regardless of parental citizenship status . In a 2008 article published by the Michigan Law Review , Lawrence Solum , Professor of Law at the University of Illinois , stated that `` there is general agreement on the core of ( the ) meaning ( of the Presidential Eligibility Clause ) . Anyone born on American soil whose parents are citizens of the United States is a ' natural born citizen ' '' . In April 2010 , Solum republished the same article as an online draft , in which he clarified his original statement so that it would not be misunderstood as excluding the children of one citizen parent . In a footnote he explained , `` based on my reading of the historical sources , there is no credible case that a person born on American soil with one American parent was clearly not a ' natural born citizen ' . '' He further extended natural born citizenship to all cases of jus soli as the `` conventional view '' . Although Solum stated elsewhere that the two - citizen - parents arguments were not `` crazy '' , he believes `` the much stronger argument suggests that if you were born on American soil that you would be considered a natural born citizen . '' Ronald Rotunda , Professor of Law at Chapman University , has remarked `` There 's ( sic ) some people who say that both parents need to be citizens . That 's never been the law . '' Polly Price , Professor of Law at Emory University , has commented `` It 's a little confusing , but most scholars think it 's a pretty unusual position for anyone to think the natural born citizen clause would exclude someone born in the U.S. '' Chin concurred with that assessment , stating , `` there is agreement that ' natural born citizens ' include those made citizens by birth under the 14th Amendment . '' Similarly , Eugene Volokh , Professor of Law at UCLA , found `` quite persuasive '' the reasoning employed by the Indiana Court of Appeals , which had concluded `` that persons born within the borders of the United States are ' natural born Citizens ' for Article II , Section 1 purposes , regardless of the citizenship of their parents '' . Daniel Tokaji , Professor of Law at Ohio State University , agrees the citizenship status of a U.S. - born candidate 's parents is irrelevant . Eligibility challenges ( edit ) Several courts have ruled that private citizens do not have standing to challenge the eligibility of candidates to appear on a presidential election ballot . Alternatively , there is a statutory method by which the eligibility of the president - elect of the United States to take office may be challenged in Congress . Some legal scholars assert that , even if eligibility challenges are nonjusticiable in federal courts , and are not undertaken in Congress , there are other avenues for adjudication , such as an action in state court in regard to ballot access . Every president to date was either a citizen at the adoption of the Constitution in 1789 or born in the United States ; of the former group , all except one had two parents with citizenship in what would become the U.S. ( Andrew Jackson ) . Of those in the latter group , every president except two ( Chester A. Arthur and Barack Obama ) had two U.S. - citizen parents . Further , four additional U.S. Presidents had one or both of his U.S. - citizen parents not born on U.S. soil ( James Buchanan , Woodrow Wilson , Herbert Hoover and Donald Trump ) . Some presidential candidates were not born in a U.S. state or lacked two U.S. - citizen parents . In addition , one U.S. vice president ( Al Gore ) was born in Washington , D.C. , and another ( Charles Curtis ) was born in the Kansas Territory . This does not necessarily mean that these officeholders or candidates were ineligible , only that there was some controversy about their eligibility , which may have been resolved in favor of eligibility . 1800s ( edit ) Chester a Arthur ( edit ) Chester A. Arthur , who was sworn in as president when James A. Garfield died after being shot , was rumored to have been born in Canada . Chester A. Arthur was born in Vermont on October 5 , 1829 to a Vermont - born mother and a father from Ireland ( who later became a U.S. citizen , 14 years after Chester A. Arthur was born ) . His mother , Malvina Stone Arthur , was a native of Berkshire , Vermont , who moved with her family to Quebec , where she met and married the future president 's father , William Arthur , on April 12 , 1821 . After the family had settled in Fairfield , Vermont , somewhere between 1822 and 1824 , William Arthur traveled with his eldest daughter to East Stanbridge , Canada , in October 1830 and commuted to Fairfield on Sundays to preach . `` It appears that he traveled regularly between the two villages , both of which were close to the Canada -- US border , for about eighteen months , holding two jobs '' , which may well explain the confusion about Chester A. Arthur 's place of birth , as perhaps did the fact that he was born in Franklin County , and thus within a day 's walk of the Vermont -- Quebec border . Moreover , Chester A. Arthur himself added a bit of confusion into the record by sometimes reporting his birth year as 1830 . No evidence of his having been born in Canada was ever demonstrated by his Democratic opponents , although Arthur Hinman , an attorney who had investigated Chester A. Arthur 's family history , raised the allegation as an objection during his vice-presidential campaign and , after the end of his presidency , published a book on the subject . Christopher Schürmann ( edit ) Christopher Schürmann ( born in New York City ) entered the Labor primaries during the 1896 presidential election . His eligibility was questioned in a New York Tribune article , because he was born to parents of German nationality . It was stated that `` various Attorney - Generals ( sic ) of the United States have expressed the opinion that a child born in this country of alien parents , who have not been naturalized , is , by the fact of birth , a native - born citizen entitled to all rights and privileges as such . '' But due to a lack of any statute on the subject , Schürmann 's eligibility was `` at best an open question , and one which should have made ( his ) nomination under any circumstances an impossibility '' , because questions concerning his eligibility could have been raised after the election . 1900s ( edit ) Charles Evans Hughes ( edit ) The eligibility of Charles Evans Hughes was questioned in an article written by Breckinridge Long , one of Woodrow Wilson 's campaign workers , and published on December 7 , 1916 in the Chicago Legal News -- a full month after the U.S. presidential election of 1916 , in which Hughes was narrowly defeated by Woodrow Wilson . Long claimed that Hughes was ineligible because his father was not yet naturalized at the time of his birth and was still a British citizen ( in fact , both his parents were British citizens and never became U.S. citizens ) . Observing that Hughes , although born in the United States , was also ( according to British law ) a British subject and therefore `` enjoy ( ed ) a dual nationality and owe ( d ) a double allegiance '' , Long argued that a native born citizen was not natural born without a unity of U.S. citizenship and allegiance and stated : `` Now if , by any possible construction , a person at the instant of birth , and for any period of time thereafter , owes , or may owe , allegiance to any sovereign but the United States , he is not a ' natural - born ' citizen of the United States . '' Barry Goldwater ( edit ) Barry Goldwater was born in Phoenix , in what was then the incorporated Arizona Territory of the United States . During his presidential campaign in 1964 , there was a minor controversy over Goldwater 's having been born in Arizona three years before it became a state . George Romney ( edit ) George W. Romney , who ran for the Republican party presidential nomination in 1968 , was born in Mexico to U.S. parents . Romney 's grandfather , a member of the LDS Church , had emigrated to Mexico in 1886 with his three wives and their children , after the U.S. federal government outlawed polygamy . However Romney 's parents ( monogamous under new church doctrine ) retained their U.S. citizenship and returned to the United States with him and his siblings in 1912 . Romney 's eligibility for President became moot when Richard Nixon was nominated as the Republican presidential candidate . Lowell Weicker ( edit ) Lowell P. Weicker entered the race for the Republican party nomination of 1980 but dropped out before voting in the primaries began ; he was also suggested as a possible vice-presidential nominee in 1976 , to replace retiring Vice President Nelson Rockefeller under the Republican ticket of incumbent President Gerald Ford . However Senator Bob Dole from Kansas was later chosen as the nominee . He was born in Paris , France , to parents who were U.S. citizens . His father was an executive for E.R. Squibb & Sons and his mother was born in India , the daughter of a British general . 2000s ( edit ) John McCain ( edit ) John McCain was born in 1936 at Coco Solo , Naval Air Station in the Panama Canal Zone . McCain 's eligibility was not challenged during his 2000 campaign , but it was challenged during his 2008 campaign . McCain never released his birth certificate to the press or independent fact - checking organizations , but in 2008 one was shown to Washington Post reporter Michael Dobbs , who wrote , `` ( A ) senior official of the McCain campaign showed me a copy of ( McCain 's ) birth certificate issued by the ' family hospital ' in the Coco Solo submarine base . '' A lawsuit filed by Fred Hollander in 2008 alleged McCain was actually born in a civilian hospital in Colón , Panama . Dobbs wrote that in his autobiography , Faith of My Fathers , McCain wrote that he was born `` in the Canal Zone '' at the U.S. Naval Air Station in Coco Solo , which was under the command of his grandfather , John S. McCain Sr . `` The senator 's father , John S. McCain Jr. , was an executive officer on a submarine , also based in Coco Solo . His mother , Roberta McCain , has said that she has vivid memories of lying in bed listening to raucous celebrations of her son 's birth from the nearby officers ' club . The birth was announced days later in the English - language Panamanian American newspaper . '' The former unincorporated territory of the Panama Canal Zone and its related military facilities were not regarded as United States territory at the time , but 8 U.S.C. § 1403 , which became law in 1937 , retroactively conferred citizenship on individuals born within the Canal Zone on or after February 26 , 1904 , and on individuals born in the Republic of Panama on or after that date who had at least one U.S. citizen parent employed by the U.S. government or the Panama Railway Company ; 8 U.S.C. § 1403 was cited in Judge William Alsup 's 2008 ruling , described below . A March 2008 paper by former Solicitor General Ted Olson and Harvard Law Professor Laurence H. Tribe opined that McCain was eligible for the Presidency . In April 2008 , the U.S. Senate approved a non-binding resolution recognizing McCain 's status as a natural - born citizen . In September 2008 , U.S. District Judge William Alsup stated obiter in his ruling that it is `` highly probable '' that McCain is a natural - born citizen from birth by virtue of 8 U.S.C. § 1401 , although he acknowledged the alternative possibility that McCain became a natural - born citizen retroactively , by way of 8 U.S.C. § 1403 . These views have been criticized by Chin , who argues that McCain was at birth a citizen of Panama and was only retroactively declared a born citizen under 8 U.S.C. § 1403 , because at the time of his birth and with regard to the Canal Zone the Supreme Court 's Insular Cases overruled the Naturalization Act of 1795 , which would otherwise have declared McCain a U.S. citizen immediately at birth . The U.S. State Department 's Foreign Affairs Manual states that children born in the Panama Canal Zone at certain times became U.S. nationals without citizenship . In Rogers v. Bellei , the Supreme Court ruled that children `` born abroad of American parents '' are not citizens within the citizenship clause of the 14th Amendment but did not elaborate on their natural - born status . Similarly , legal scholar Lawrence Solum concluded in an article on the natural born citizen clause that the question of McCain 's eligibility could not be answered with certainty , and that it would depend on the particular approach of `` constitutional construction '' . The urban legend fact checking website Snopes.com considers McCain 's eligibility `` undetermined '' . Arguments over McCain 's eligibility became moot after he lost the United States presidential election in 2008 . Barack Obama ( edit ) Main article : Barack Obama presidential eligibility litigation Barack Obama was born in 1961 in Honolulu , Hawaii ( which had become a U.S. state in 1959 ) . His mother was a U.S. citizen and his father was a British subject from British Kenya . Before and after the 2008 presidential election , arguments were made that Obama was not a natural - born citizen . On June 12 , 2008 , the Obama presidential campaign launched a website to counter what it described as a smear campaign by his opponents , including conspiracy theories challenging his eligibility . The most prominent issue raised against Obama was the claim made in several lawsuits that he was not actually born in Hawaii . The Supreme Court declined without comment to hear two lawsuits in which the plaintiffs argued it was irrelevant whether Obama was born in Hawaii . Most of the cases were dismissed because of the plaintiff 's lack of standing ; however , several courts have given guidance on the question . In Ankeny v. Governor , a three - member Indiana Court of Appeals stated , Based upon the language of Article II , Section 1 , Clause 4 and the guidance provided by Wong Kim Ark , we conclude that persons born within the borders of the United States are ' natural born Citizens ' for Article II , Section 1 purposes , regardless of the citizenship of their parents . Administrative Law Judge Michael Malihi in Georgia decided a group of eligibility challenge cases by saying , `` The Indiana Court rejected the argument that Mr. Obama was ineligible , stating that the children born within the United States are natural born citizens , regardless of the citizenship of their parents ... This Court finds the decision and analysis of Ankeny persuasive . '' Federal District Judge John A. Gibney , Jr. wrote in his decision in the case of Tisdale v. Obama : The eligibility requirements to be President of the United States are such that the individual must be a `` natural born citizen '' of the United States ... It is well settled that those born in the United States are considered natural born citizens . See , e.g. United States v. Ark ( sic ) ... On October 31 , 2008 , Hawaii Health Director Chiyome Fukino issued a statement saying , I ... have personally seen and verified that the Hawai'i State Department of Health has Sen. Obama 's original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures . On July 27 , 2009 , Fukino issued an additional statement : I ... have seen the original vital records maintained on file by the Hawaii State Department of Health verifying Barack Hussein Obama was born in Hawaii and is a natural - born American citizen . Attempts to prevent Obama from participating in the 2012 Democratic primary election in several states failed . Ted Cruz ( edit ) Ted Cruz announced on March 22 , 2015 , that he was running for the Republican Party 's nomination for president in the 2016 election . Cruz was born in Calgary , Canada . Cruz 's mother was a U.S. citizen and his father was born in Cuba , but his father eventually became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 2005 . This gave Cruz dual Canadian - American citizenship , as he was granted U.S. citizenship at the time of his birth by the virtue of his mother 's citizenship , and Canada grants birthright citizenship to every person born in Canada . Cruz applied to formally renounce his Canadian citizenship and ceased being a citizen of Canada on May 14 , 2014 . Former Solicitor General Paul Clement , former Acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal , University of California , Irvine School of Law Dean Erwin Chemerinsky , Professor Chin ( see above ) , Temple University Law School Professor Peter Spiro , Professor Akhil Amar , Georgetown University Law Center Professor Randy Barnett , Yale Law School Professor Jack Balkin , and University of San Diego Professor Michael Ramsey believe Cruz meets the constitutional requirements to be eligible for the presidency . Similarly , Bryan Garner , the editor of Black 's Law Dictionary , believes the U.S. Supreme Court would find Cruz to be eligible , and Case Western Reserve University School of Law professor Jonathan H. Adler agrees that no court will rule against Cruz 's eligibility . Laurence Tribe of Harvard , however , described Cruz 's eligibility as `` murky and unsettled '' . Harvard Law Professor Cass Sunstein believes that Cruz is eligible , but agrees with Ramsey that Cruz 's eligibility is not `` an easy question '' . Sunstein believes concerns over standing and the political - question doctrine make it unlikely that courts would rule against Cruz . Mary McManamon ( see above ) writing in the Catholic University Law Review believes that Cruz is not eligible because he was not born in the United States . Professor Einer Elhauge of Harvard , Professor Robert Clinton of Arizona State University , University of Chicago Professor Eric Posner , former Chief Justice of the New York Court of Appeals Sol Wachtler , and Professor Victor Williams of Catholic University of America 's law school agree that Cruz is not eligible . Alan Grayson , a Democratic Member of Congress from Florida , does not believe Cruz is a natural - born citizen , and stated he would have filed a lawsuit if Cruz had become the Republican nominee . Orly Taitz , Larry Klayman , and Mario Apuzzo , who each filed multiple lawsuits challenging Obama 's eligibility , have also asserted that Cruz is not eligible . Cruz 's eligibility was questioned by some of his primary opponents , including Donald Trump , Mike Huckabee , Rick Santorum , Carly Fiorina , and Rand Paul . Marco Rubio , however , believes Cruz is eligible . Two November 2015 ballot challenges in New Hampshire alleging that Cruz was not a natural - born citizen were unsuccessful . In December , a similar lawsuit was filed in Vermont , and an unsuccessful lawsuit was filed in Florida . In January 2016 , similar lawsuits were unsuccessfully filed in Texas and Utah , and two similar unsuccessful ballot challenges were filed in Illinois . In February , two similar unsuccessful lawsuits were filed in Pennsylvania and one was filed in Arkansas ; a similar lawsuit was filed in Alabama ; similar unsuccessful ballot challenges were filed in Indiana ; and similar ballot challenges and an unsuccessful similar lawsuit were also filed in New York . In March , a similar lawsuit was filed in New York . In April , a similar ballot challenge was unsuccessfully filed in New Jersey . No lawsuit or challenge has been successful , and in February 2016 , the Illinois Board of Elections ruled in Cruz 's favor , stating , `` The candidate is a natural born citizen by virtue of being born in Canada to his mother who was a U.S. citizen at the time of his birth . '' The question of Cruz 's eligibility became moot when he suspended his campaign on May 3 , 2016 . Marco Rubio and Bobby Jindal ( edit ) Marco Rubio and Bobby Jindal both announced in 2015 that they were running for the Republican Party 's nomination for president in the 2016 election . Taitz and Apuzzo each have claimed neither Rubio nor Jindal is eligible because both were born ( albeit in the United States ) to parents who were not U.S. citizens at the time of their respective births . The question of Jindal 's eligibility became moot when he suspended his presidential campaign in November 2015 . Nonetheless , a lawsuit filed in December 2015 in Vermont and a ballot challenge filed in February 2016 in New York challenged Jindal 's eligibility . A November 2015 ballot challenge in New Hampshire alleging that Rubio was not a natural - born citizen was unsuccessful . In December , a similar lawsuit was filed in Vermont , and an unsuccessful lawsuit was filed in Florida . In January 2016 , a similar unsuccessful ballot challenge was filed in Illinois . In February , a similar unsuccessful lawsuit was filed in Arkansas ; a similar ballot challenge was filed in New York ; and an unsuccessful ballot challenge was filed in Indiana . The question of Rubio 's eligibility became moot when he suspended his presidential campaign in March 2016 . Potential presidential candidates who are not eligible ( edit ) Arnold Schwarzenegger ( edit ) Arnold Schwarzenegger was reported as considering challenging the prevailing interpretation of the clause . In 2003 , Senator Orrin Hatch unsuccessfully put forth the Equal Opportunity to Govern Amendment , intending to allow eligibility for Arnold Schwarzenegger . In October 2013 , the New York Post reported that Schwarzenegger -- who is originally from Austria and became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1983 , also retaining Austrian citizenship -- was exploring a future run for the American presidency . He reportedly lobbied legislators about a possible constitutional change , or filing a legal challenge to the provision . Cornell University law professor Michael C. Dorf observed that Schwarzenegger 's possible lawsuit could ultimately win him the right to run for the office , noting , `` The law is very clear , but it 's not 100 percent clear that the courts would enforce that law rather than leave it to the political process '' . Schwarzenegger subsequently denied that he was running .

does non dairy creamer need to be refrigerated
Non-dairy creamer - wikipedia Non-dairy creamer Jump to : navigation , search A cup of coffee with a sachet of sugar and a plastic sachet of Coffee - Mate non-dairy creamer Non-dairy creamers or coffee whiteners are liquid or granular substances intended to substitute for milk or cream as an additive to coffee , tea , hot chocolate or other beverages . They do not contain lactose and therefore are commonly described as not being dairy products , although many contain casein , a milk - derived protein . Dry granular products do not need to be refrigerated and can be used and stored in locations which do not have a refrigerator . Liquid non-dairy creamers should be tightly capped and refrigerated after opening . Some non-dairy creamers contain sweeteners and flavours , such as vanilla , hazelnut or Irish cream . As with other processed food products , low calorie and low fat versions are available for non-dairy creamers . Contents ( hide ) 1 History 2 Ingredients 3 Advertising 4 Non-food uses 5 See also 6 References 7 External links History ( edit ) Various creamers at a typical grocery store Holton `` Rex '' Diamond , an employee of Rich Products , did experiments from 1943 to 1945 with using a `` ( g ) elationous form of soybean protein '' to make a `` soy cream '' that would not form curds when mixed with coffee . Diamond 's experiments are the first English - language reference to a non-dairy creamer for coffee . Frank S. Mitchell , another Rich Products Corp employee , and Diamond developed a non-dairy whip topping for their employer in 1946 . Mitchell also developed a non-dairy coffee creamer , Perx , which was successful in the market . In 1950 , Melvin Morse and Dick Borne of Presto Foods developed `` Mocha Mix Coffee Creamer '' , which was the first commercial non-dairy creamer and the first product with the term `` Coffee Creamer '' in the name . Another early commercial powdered creamer was `` Pream , '' first marketed in 1952 and made from dehydrated cream and sugar . It did not dissolve easily because of the protein in the milk . Six years later , in 1958 , the Carnation Company developed a product that easily dissolved in hot liquid because it replaced most of the milk fat with vegetable oil , and reduced the milk protein . The new product was marketed under the Carnation label with the brand name Coffee - Mate . Borden followed suit by launching Cremora non-dairy creamer in 1963 , by which time CoffeeRich had been introduced to the marketplace . Ingredients ( edit ) A plastic container of `` Coffee Fresh '' , a liquid non-dairy creamer sold in Japan . 3 packs of French Vanilla and Hazelnut liquid Coffee - Mate To replicate the mouthfeel of milk fats , nondairy creamers often contain hydrogenated vegetable - based fats , although nonfat nondairy creamers / whiteners also exist . Other common ingredients include solidified corn syrup and other sweeteners or / and flavourings ( such as French vanilla , hazelnut and Irish cream ) ; as well as sodium caseinate , a milk protein derivative ( from casein ) that does not contain lactose . The use of a milk derivative prompts some individuals and organisations - such as vegans and Jewish dietary law authorities - to classify the product as `` dairy '' rather than nondairy . Those who rely on this classification will either not consume the product ( e.g. vegans ) or will not use or consume it in conjunction with any meat products ( e.g. observant Jews ) . As with other processed food products , low calorie and low fat versions are available for non-dairy creamers . People with milk allergy need to be aware that `` '' non-dairy creamer '' may contain sodium caseinate , a milk protein . It will be in the ingredient list . The U.S. Food and Drug Administration ( FDA ) has stated that products with sodium caseinate may contain low levels of lactose . For a normal serving , the amounts are too small to trigger lactose intolerance . Advertising ( edit ) A song with the words `` You 're the Pream in my coffee '' was used to sell that product . CoffeeRich was marketed with a successful series of national ads featuring George Burns : `` its sales soared , particularly among Jews who kept kosher and were forbidden to put cream in their coffee while eating meat . '' Non-food uses ( edit ) As with many other powders , large amounts of powdered non-dairy creamer powder are susceptible to dust explosion when suspended in air . Amateur filmmakers and pyrotechnicians have taken advantage of this property to produce several types of fireball effects . Individuals using powdered non-dairy creamer in the ordinary amounts used in a cup of coffee do not face a risk of dust explosion . Coffee creamer powder has also been used for creating fake snow in television and movies .

Movements such as grunge , the rave scene and hip hop spread around the world to young people during that decade , aided by then - new technology such as cable television and the World Wide Web . In the absence of world communism , which collapsed in the first two years of the decade , the 1990s was politically defined by a movement towards the right - wing , including increase in support for far - right parties in Europe as well as the advent of the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party and cuts in social spending in the United States , Canada , New Zealand , and the UK . The United States also saw a massive revival in the use of the death penalty in the 1990s , which reversed in the early 21st century . During the 1990s the character of the European Union and Euro were formed and codified in treaties . A combination of factors , including the continued mass mobilization of capital markets through neo-liberalism , the thawing of the decades - long Cold War , the beginning of the widespread proliferation of new media such as the Internet from the middle of the decade onwards , increasing skepticism towards government , and the dissolution of the Soviet Union led to a realignment and reconsolidation of economic and political power across the world and within countries . The dot - com bubble of 1997 -- 2000 brought wealth to some entrepreneurs before its crash between 2000 and 2001 . The 1990s saw extreme advances in technology , with the World Wide Web , the first gene therapy trial , and the first designer babies all emerging in 1990 and being improved and built upon throughout the decade . New ethnic conflicts emerged in Africa , the Balkans , and the Caucasus , the former two which led to the Rwandan and Bosnian genocides , respectively . Signs of any resolution of tensions between Israel and the Arab world remained elusive despite the progress of the Oslo Accords , though The Troubles in Northern Ireland came to a standstill in 1998 with the Good Friday Agreement after 30 years of violence . Politics and wars ( edit ) Wars ( edit ) Main article : List of wars 1990 -- 2002 The most prominent armed conflicts of the decade include : International wars ( edit ) The Congo wars break out in the 1990s : The First Congo War takes place in Zaire from 1996 to 1997 , resulting in Zairian dictator Mobutu Sese Seko being overthrown from power on 16 May 1997 , ending 32 years of his rule . Zaire is renamed the Democratic Republic of the Congo . The Second Congo War starts in 1998 in central Africa and includes 50 different cultures and 7 different nations . It continued until 2003 . The Gulf War . The Gulf War -- Iraq was left in severe debt after the 1980s war with Iran . President Saddam Hussein accused Kuwait of flooding the market with oil and driving down prices . As a result , on 2 August 1990 , Iraqi forces invaded and conquered Kuwait . The UN immediately condemned the action , and a coalition force led by the United States was sent to the Persian Gulf . Aerial bombing of Iraq began in January 1991 ( see also Gulf War ) , and a month later , the UN forces drove the Iraqi army from Kuwait in just four days . In the aftermath of the war , the Kurds in the north of Iraq and the Shiites in the south rose up in revolt , and Saddam Hussein barely managed to hold onto power . Until the US invasion in 2003 , Iraq was cut off from much of the world . The Chechen wars break out in the 1990s : The First Chechen War ( 1994 -- 1996 ) -- the conflict was fought between the Russian Federation and the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria . After the initial campaign of 1994 -- 1995 , culminating in the devastating Battle of Grozny , Russian federal forces attempted to seize control of the mountainous area of Chechnya but were set back by Chechen guerrilla warfare and raids on the flatlands in spite of Russia 's overwhelming manpower , weaponry , and air support . The resulting widespread demoralization of federal forces , and the almost universal opposition of the Russian public to the conflict , led Boris Yeltsin 's government to declare a ceasefire in 1996 and sign a peace treaty a year later . The Second Chechen War ( 1999 -- ongoing ) -- the war was launched by the Russian Federation starting 26 August 1999 , in response to the Invasion of Dagestan and the Russian apartment bombings which were blamed on the Chechens .

China entered the ' 90s in a turbulent period , shunned by much of the world after the Tiananmen Square Massacre and controlled by hard line politicians who reigned in private enterprise and attempted to revive old - fashioned propaganda campaigns . Relations with the United States deteriorated sharply , and the Chinese leadership was further embarrassed by the disintegration of communism in Europe . In 1992 , Deng Xiaoping travelled to southern China in his last major public appearance to revitalize faith in market economics and stop the country 's slide back into Maoism . Afterwards , China recovered , and would experience explosive economic growth during the rest of the decade . In spite of this , dissent continued to be suppressed , and CPC General Secretary Jiang Zemin launched a brutal crackdown against the Falun Gong religious sect in 1999 . Deng Xiaoping himself died in 1997 at the age of 93 . Relations with the US deteriorated again in 1999 after the bombing of the Chinese embassy during the bombing of Serbia by NATO forces , which caused three deaths , and allegations of Chinese espionage at the Los Alamos Nuclear Facility . Financial crisis hits East and Southeast Asia in 1997 and 1998 after a long period of phenomenal economic development , which continues by 1999 . This crisis begins to be felt by the end of the decade . In Japan , after three decades of economic growth put them in second place in the world 's economies , the situation worsened after 1993 . The recession went on into the early first decade of the 21st century , bringing an end to the seemingly unlimited prosperity that the country had hitherto enjoyed . Less affluent nations such as India , Malaysia , and Vietnam also saw tremendous improvements in economic prosperity and quality of life during the 1990s . Restructuring following the end of the Cold War was beginning .

All its constituent republics declared their independence in 1991 , and on Christmas , Gorbachev resigned from office . After 73 years , the Soviet Union had ceased to exist . The new Russian Federation was headed by Boris Yeltsin , and would face severe economic difficulty . Oligarchs took over Russia 's energy and industrial sectors , reducing almost half the country to poverty . With a 3 % approval rating , Yeltsin had to buy the support of the oligarchs to win reelection in 1996 . Economic turmoil and devaluation of the ruble continued , and with heart and alcohol troubles , he stepped down from office on the last day of 1999 , handing power to Vladimir Putin .

The first McDonald 's restaurant opens in Moscow in 1990 with then - President of the Supreme Soviet of the Russian SFSR and future Russian President Boris Yeltsin attending , symbolizing Russia 's transition towards a capitalist free market economy and a move towards adopting elements of western culture . Oil and gas were discovered in many countries in the former Soviet bloc , leading to economic growth and wider adoption of trade between nations . These trends were also fueled by inexpensive fossil energy , with low petroleum prices caused by a glut of oil . Political stability and decreased militarization due to the winding down of the Cold War led to economic development and higher standards of living for many citizens . Most of Europe enjoyed growing prosperity during the ' 90s . However , problems including the massive 1995 general strikes in France following a recession and the difficulties associated with German reunification lead to sluggish growth in these countries . However , both the French and German economies improve in the latter half of the decade . Meanwhile , the economies of particularly Spain , Scandinavia and former Eastern Bloc countries accelerate at rapid speed during the decade although unemployment being mild due to many having experienced a deep recession for the start of the decade . After the early 1990s recession , the United Kingdom and Ireland experience rapid economic growth and falling unemployment that continues throughout the decade . Economic growth would continue until the Late 2000s recession marking the longest uninterrupted period of economic growth in history . Some Eastern European economies struggled after the fall of communism , but Poland , Hungary , Czech Republic , Estonia , Latvia and Lithuania saw healthy economic growth rates in the late 1990s . With the creation of the EU there is freedom of movement between member states , such as the 1992 and 1995 free trade agreements .

South America The sluggish economies of Brazil , by a new emphasis on free markets for all their citizens , and Mexico , under economist president Ernesto Zedillo elected in 1994 , were in their best shape by the late 1990s . Technology and science ( edit ) Main article : 1990s in science and technology Technology ( edit ) See also : Timeline of computing 1990 -- 1999 The 1990s were a revolutionary decade for digital technology . Between 1990 and 1997 , individual personal computer ownership in the US rose from 15 to 35 % . Cell phones of the early - 1990s and earlier ones were very large , lacked extra features , and were used by only a few percent of the population of even the wealthiest nations . Only a few million people used online services in 1990 , and the World Wide Web had only just been invented . The first web browser went online in 1993 and by 2001 , more than 50 % of some Western countries had Internet access , and more than 25 % had cell phone access . Electronics and communications ( edit ) The `` historical '' World Wide Web project logo designed by Robert Cailliau . The logo created by The President 's Council on the Year 2000 Conversion , for use on Y2K.gov On August 6 , 1991 , CERN , a pan European organization for particle research , publicized the new World Wide Web project . Although the basic applications and guidelines that make the Internet possible had existed for almost two decades , the network did not gain a public face until the 1990s . Driven by mass adoption , consumer personal computer specifications increased dramatically during the 1990s , from 512 KB RAM 12 MHz Turbo XTs in 1990 , to 25 -- 66 MHz 80486 - class processor at the start of the popularization of the World Wide Web mid-decade , to over 1 GHz CPUs with close to a gigabyte of RAM by 2000 . Y2K spread fear throughout the United States and eventually the world in the last half of the decade , particularly in 1999 , about possible massive computer malfunctions on January 1 , 2000 . As a result , many people stocked up on supplies for fear of a worldwide disaster . After significant effort to upgrade systems on the part of software engineers , no failures occurred when the clocks rolled over into 2000 . Advancements in computer modems , ISDN , cable modems , and DSL lead to faster connections to the Internet . The first Pentium microprocessor is introduced and developed by the Intel Corporation . Email becomes popular ; as a result , Microsoft acquires the popular Hotmail webmail service . Instant messaging and the buddy list feature becomes popular . AIM and ICQ are two early protocols .

CD burner drives are introduced . The CD - ROM drive became standard for most personal computers during the decade . The DVD media format is developed and popularized along with a plethora of Flash memory card standards in 1994 .

The 24 - hour news cycle becomes popular with the Gulf War between late 1990 and early 1991 and CNN 's coverage of Desert Storm and Desert Shield . Though CNN had been running 24 - hour newscasts since 1980 , it was not until the Gulf War that the general public took large notice and others imitated CNN 's non-stop news approach . Portable CD players , introduced during the late 1980s , became very popular and had a profound impact on the music industry and youth culture during the 1990s .

Eurostars ( edit ) The opening of the Channel Tunnel between France and the United Kingdom saw the commencement by the three national railway companies of Belgium , France and the United Kingdom , respectively SNCB / NMBS , SNCF and British Rail of the joint Eurostar service . Eurostar logo 1994 -- 2011 On 14 November 1994 Eurostar services began between Waterloo International station in London , Gare du Nord in Paris and Brussels South in Brussels . In 1995 Eurostar was achieving an average end - to - end speed of 171.5 km / h ( 106.6 mph ) between London and Paris . On 8 January 1996 Eurostar launched services from a second railway station in the UK when Ashford International was opened . Journey times between London and Brussels were reduced by the opening of HSL 1 on 14 December 1997 . A pair of Eurostar trains at the former Waterloo International since moved to St Pancras International railway station . The trains are based on the TGV and are British Rail Class 373 . Automobiles ( edit ) The 1990s began with another recession that dampened car sales . General Motors continued to suffer huge losses thanks to an inefficient structure , stale designs , and poor quality . Sales improved with the economy by the mid-1990s , but GM 's US market share gradually declined to less than 40 % ( from a peak of 50 % in the 1970s ) . While the new Saturn division fared well , Oldsmobile declined sharply , and attempts to remake the division as a European - style luxury car were unsuccessful . Cars in the 1990s had a rounder , more streamlined shape than those from the 1970s and 1980s ; this style would continue early into the 2000s and to a lesser extent later on . Chrysler ran into financial troubles again as the 1990s started . Like GM , the company too had a stale model lineup ( except for the best - selling minivans ) that was largely based on the aging K - car platform . In 1992 , chairman Lee Iacocca retired , and the company began a remarkable revival , introducing the new LH platform and `` Cab - Forward '' styling , along with a highly successful redesign of the full - sized Dodge Ram in 1994 . Chrysler 's minivans continued to dominate the market despite increasing competition . In 1998 , Daimler - Benz ( the parent company of Mercedes - Benz ) merged with Chrysler . The following year , it was decided to retire Plymouth , which had been on a long decline since the 1970s . Ford continued to fare well in the 1990s , with the second and third generations of the Ford Taurus being named the best selling car in the United States from 1992 to 1996 . However , the Taurus would be outsold and dethroned by the Toyota Camry starting in 1997 , which became the best selling car in the United States for the rest of the decade and into the 2000s . Ford also introduced the Ford Explorer , 1991 being the first model year . Fords Explorer became the best selling SUV on the market ; out selling both the Chevy Blazer and Jeep Cherokee Japanese cars continued to be highly successful during the decade . The Honda Accord vied with the Taurus most years for being the best - selling car in the United States during the early part of the decade . Although launched in 1989 , the luxury brands Lexus and Infiniti began car sales of 1990 model year vehicles and saw great success . Lexus would go on to outsell Mercedes - Benz and BMW in the United States by 1991 , and would outsell Cadillac and Lincoln by the end of the decade . SUVs and trucks became hugely popular during the economic boom in the second half of the decade . Many makes that had never built a truck before started selling SUVs . Car styling during the 1990s became gradually more round and ovoid , the third - generation Taurus and Mercury Sable being some of the more extreme examples . Safety features such as airbags and shoulder belts became mandatory equipment on new cars . Science ( edit ) Dolly the sheep is the first mammal to be cloned from an adult somatic cell . Hubble Space Telescope . Physicists develop M - theory . Detection of extrasolar planets orbiting stars other than the sun .

At the beginning of the decade , sustainable development and environmental protection became serious issues for governments and the international community . In 1987 , the publication of the Brundtland Report by the United Nations had paved the way to establish an environmental governance . In 1992 the Earth Summit was held in Rio de Janeiro , in which several countries committed to protect the environment , signing a Convention on Biological Diversity . The prevention of the destruction of the tropical rainforests of the world is a major environmental cause that first came into wide public concern in the early 1990s , and has continued and accelerated . The Chernobyl disaster had significant impact on public opinion at the end of the 1980s , and the fallout was still causing cancer deaths well into the 1990s and possibly even into the 21st century . All along the 1990s , several environmental NGOs helped improve environmental awareness among public opinion and governments . The most famous of these organizations during this decade was Greenpeace , which did not hesitate to lead illegal actions in the name of environmental preservation . These organizations also drawn attention on the large deforestion of the Amazon Rainforest during the period . Global warming as an aspect of climate change also became a major concern , and the creation of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change ( UNFCCC ) after the Earth Summit helped coordinate efforts to reduce carbon emissions in the atmosphere . From 1995 , the UNFCCC held annual summits on climate change , leading to the adoption of the Kyoto Protocol in December 1997 , a binding agreement signed by several developed countries . Society ( edit ) The 1990s represented continuing social liberalization in most countries , though coupled with an increase in the influence of capitalism , which would continue until the Great Recession of the late 2000s / early 2010s . Youth culture in the 1990s responded to this by embracing both environmentalism and entrepreneurship . Western world fashions reflected this by often turning highly individualistic and / or counter-cultural , which was influenced by Generation X and Generation Y / Millennials : tattoos and body piercing gained popularity , and `` retro '' styles inspired by fashions of the 1960s and 1970s were also prevalent . Some young people became increasingly involved in extreme sports and outdoor activities that combined embracing athletics with the appreciation of nature . Those born in the 1990s are usually considered part of the Millennial Generation , along with those born in the late 1970s and 1980s . However , dates vary , with many demographers considering those born from 1995 onward as part of Generation Z , the post-Millennial generation . The slacker and Valley Girl cultures were prevalent , and the decade was heavily influenced by Californian culture . In 1990 , the World Health Organization removed homosexuality from its list of diseases . Increasing acceptance of homosexuality occurred in the western world , slowly starting in the early 1990s .

More nations than ever before are led by elected women Presidents and Prime Ministers . Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto 's 1988 victory in Pakistan makes women leaders in Muslim states unextraordinary . In Turkey , Tansu Çiller became the first female prime minister in 1993 ( till 1996 ) .

Career ( edit ) While Waylett was a student at Emmanuel Primary School , his photograph was taken as part of a general auditioning process for the Harry Potter films . Initially considered for the part of Dudley Dursley , he was cast as Vincent Crabbe after an audition in front of director Chris Columbus . In August 2009 , fellow Harry Potter star Joshua Herdman announced that Waylett would not return for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows : Part 1 , or for the final film in the series , Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows : Part 2 . The role of Waylett 's character in the plot was taken over by Herdman 's character .

Chase John P. Hale Founded 1848 ( 1848 ) Dissolved 1854 ( 1854 ) Merger of Barnburner Democrats Conscience Whigs Liberty Party Merged into Republican Party Ideology Anti-slavery expansion Colors Old gold Slogan `` Free Soil , Free Speech , Free Labor , Free Men '' <Td_colspan="2"> Politics of United States Political parties Elections The Free Soil Party was a short - lived political party in the United States active in the 1848 and 1852 presidential elections as well as in some state elections . A single - issue party , its main purpose was to oppose the expansion of slavery into the Western territories , arguing that free men on free soil constituted a morally and economically superior system to slavery . It also sometimes worked to remove existing laws that discriminated against freed African Americans in states such as Ohio . The party originated in New York after the state Democratic convention refused to endorse the Wilmot Proviso , a proposed law that would have banned slavery in any territory acquired from Mexico in the Mexican -- American War . A faction of New York Democrats known as the Barnburners objected to slavery in the territories and opposed the 1848 Democratic nominee Lewis Cass . The Barnburners and other anti-slavery Democrats joined with some anti-slavery Whigs and the Liberty Party to form the Free Soil Party . Salmon P. Chase , John P. Hale and other party leaders organized the 1848 Free Soil Convention , which nominated a ticket consisting of former President Martin Van Buren and Charles Francis Adams Sr. In the 1848 presidential election , Van Buren won 10.1 % of the popular vote and Whig nominee Zachary Taylor defeated Cass . The Compromise of 1850 reduced tensions regarding slavery , but some remained in the party . In the 1852 presidential election , Hale won 4.9 % of the popular vote as the party 's nominee . Passage of the Kansas -- Nebraska Act in 1854 revitalized the anti-slavery movement and the party membership ( including leaders such as Hale and Chase ) was largely absorbed by the Republican Party between 1854 and 1856 by way of the Anti-Nebraska movement .

Almost half the members , known as `` Barnburners '' , walked out after denouncing the national platform . Lewis Cass , the Democratic Party 's 1848 presidential nominee , supported popular sovereignty ( local control ) for determining the status of slavery in the United States territories . This stance repulsed the New York State Democrats and encouraged them to join with anti-slavery Conscience Whigs and the majority of the Liberty Party to form the Free Soil Party , which was formalized in the summer of 1848 at conventions in Utica and Buffalo . The Free Soilers nominated former Democratic President Martin Van Buren for President , along with Charles Francis Adams for Vice President , at Lafayette Square in Buffalo , then known as Court House Park . The main party leaders were Salmon P. Chase of Ohio and John P. Hale of New Hampshire . The Free Soil candidates won 10 % of the popular vote in 1848 , but no electoral votes , in part because the nomination of Van Buren discouraged many anti-slavery Whigs from supporting them . The party distanced itself from abolitionism and avoided the moral problems implicit in slavery . Members emphasized instead the threat slavery would pose to free white labor and Northern businessmen in the new Western territories . Although abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison derided the party philosophy as `` white manism '' , the approach appealed to many moderate opponents of slavery . The 1848 platform pledged to promote limited internal improvements , work for a homestead law , work towards paying off the public debt and introduce a moderate tariff for revenue only . The Compromise of 1850 temporarily neutralized the issue of slavery and undercut the party 's no - compromise position . Most Barnburners returned to the Democratic Party while most of the Conscience Whigs returned to the Whig Party . This resulted in the Free Soil Party becoming dominated by ardent anti-slavery leaders . The party ran John P. Hale in the 1852 presidential election , but its share of the popular vote shrank to less than 5 % . However , two years later -- after enormous outrage over the Kansas -- Nebraska Act of 1854 -- the remains of the Free Soil Party helped form the Republican Party . Legacy ( edit ) The Free Soil Party sent two Senators and fourteen Representatives to the thirty - first Congress , which convened from March 4 , 1849 to March 3 , 1851 . Since there were party members on the floor of Congress , they could carry far more weight in the government and in the debates that took place . The Free Soil Party presidential nominee in 1848 , Martin Van Buren , received 291,616 votes against Zachary Taylor of the Whigs and Lewis Cass of the Democrats , but Van Buren received no electoral votes . The party 's `` spoiler effect '' in 1848 may have helped Taylor into office in a narrowly contested election . However , the strength of the party was its representation in Congress as the sixteen elected officials had influence far beyond their numerical strength . The party 's most important legacy was as a route for anti-slavery Democrats to join the new Republican coalition . In August 1854 , an alliance was brokered at Ottawa , Illinois between the Free Soil Party and the Whigs ( in part based on the efforts of local newspaper publisher Jonathan F. Linton ) that gave rise to the new Republican Party which had been founded in March of that year . Free Soil Township , Michigan was named after the Free Soil party in 1848 . Positions ( edit ) In this 1850 political cartoon , the artist attacks abolitionist , Free Soil and other sectionalist interests of 1850 as dangers to the Union Free Soil candidates ran on a platform that declared : `` ( W ) e inscribe on our banner , ' Free Soil , Free Speech , Free Labor , and Free Men , ' and under it we will fight on , and fight forever , until a triumphant victory shall reward our exertions '' . The party also called for a tariff for revenue only ( i.e. import taxes sufficient to meet federal government expenses without creating protectionist trade barriers ) and for a homestead act . The Free Soil Party 's main support came from areas of Ohio , upstate New York and western Massachusetts , although other northern states also had representatives . The party contended that slavery undermined the dignity of labor and inhibited social mobility and was therefore fundamentally undemocratic . Viewing slavery as an economically inefficient , obsolete institution , Free Soilers believed that slavery should be contained and that if contained it would ultimately disappear .

who removed the 7 books from the bible
Luther 's canon - wikipedia Luther 's canon Jump to : navigation , search Luther 's 1534 Bible Luther 's canon is the biblical canon attributed to Martin Luther , which has influenced Protestants since the 16th - century Protestant Reformation . While the Lutheran Confessions specifically did not define a canon , it is widely regarded as the canon of the Lutheran Church . It differs from the 1546 Roman Catholic canon of the Council of Trent in that it rejects the Deuterocanonical books and questions the seven New Testament books , called `` Luther 's Antilegomena '' , four of which are still ordered last in German - language Luther Bibles to this day . Contents ( hide ) 1 Deuterocanonical books 2 Hebrews , James , Jude and Revelation 3 Sola fide doctrine 4 Similar canons of the time 5 Protestant laity and clergy 6 Modern Evangelical use 7 References Deuterocanonical books ( edit ) Main articles : Deuterocanonical books and Biblical apocrypha Luther did not include the deuterocanonical books in his Old Testament , terming them `` Apocrypha , that are books which are not considered equal to the Holy Scriptures , but are useful and good to read . '' He also argued unsuccessfully for the relocation of the Book of Esther from the canon to the Apocrypha , because without the deuterocanonical additions to the Book of Esther , the text of Esther never mentions God . As a result , Protestants and Catholics continue to use different canons , which differ both in respect to the Old Testament and in the concept of the Antilegomena of the New Testament . Hebrews , James , Jude and Revelation ( edit ) Main article : Antilegomena Luther made an attempt to remove the books of Hebrews , James , Jude and Revelation from the canon ( notably , he perceived them to go against certain Protestant doctrines such as sola gratia and sola fide ) , but this was not generally accepted among his followers . However , these books are ordered last in the German - language Luther Bible to this day . `` If Luther 's negative view of these books were based only upon the fact that their canonicity was disputed in early times , 2 Peter might have been included among them , because this epistle was doubted more than any other in ancient times . '' However , the prefaces that Luther affixed to these four books makes it evident `` that his low view of them was more due to his theological reservations than with any historical investigation of the canon . '' In his book Basic Theology , Charles Caldwell Ryrie countered the claim that Luther rejected the Book of James as being canonical . In his preface to the New Testament , Luther ascribed to several books of the New Testament different degrees of doctrinal value : `` St. John 's Gospel and his first Epistle , St. Paul 's Epistles , especially those to the Romans , Galatians , Ephesians , and St. Peter 's Epistle - these are the books which show to thee Christ , and teach everything that is necessary and blessed for thee to know , even if you were never to see or hear any other book of doctrine . Therefore , St. James ' Epistle is a perfect straw - epistle compared with them , for it has in it nothing of an evangelic kind . '' Thus Luther was comparing ( in his opinion ) doctrinal value , not canonical validity . However , Ryrie 's theory is countered by other biblical scholars , including William Barclay , who note that Luther stated plainly , if not bluntly : `` I think highly of the epistle of James , and regard it as valuable although it was rejected in early days . It does not expound human doctrines , but lays much emphasis on God 's law . ... I do not hold it to be of apostolic authorship . '' Sola fide doctrine ( edit ) Main article : Sola fide In The Protestant Spirit of Luther 's Version , Philip Schaff asserts that : The most important example of dogmatic influence in Luther 's version is the famous interpolation of the word alone in Rom. 3 : 28 ( allein durch den Glauben ) , by which he intended to emphasize his solifidian doctrine of justification , on the plea that the German idiom required the insertion for the sake of clearness . But he thereby brought Paul into direct verbal conflict with James , who says ( James 2 : 24 ) , `` by works a man is justified , and not only by faith '' ( `` nicht durch den Glauben allein '' ) . It is well known that Luther deemed it impossible to harmonize the two apostles in this article , and characterized the Epistle of James as an `` epistle of straw , '' because it had no evangelical character ( `` keine evangelische Art '' ) . Martin Luther 's description of the Epistle of James changes . In some cases , Luther argues that it was not written by an apostle ; but in other cases , he describes James as the work of an apostle . He even cites it as authoritative teaching from God and describes James as `` a good book , because it sets up no doctrines of men but vigorously promulgates the law of God . '' Lutherans hold that the Epistle is rightly part of the New Testament , citing its authority in the Book of Concord , however it remains part of the Lutheran antilegomena . Lutheran teachings resolve James ' and Paul 's verbal conflict regarding faith and works in alternate ways from the Catholics and Orthodox : Paul was dealing with one kind of error while James was dealing with a different error . The errorists Paul was dealing with were people who said that works of the law were needed to be added to faith in order to help earn God 's favor . Paul countered this error by pointing out that salvation was by faith alone apart from deeds of the law ( Galatians 2 : 16 ; Romans 3 : 21 - 22 ) . Paul also taught that saving faith is not dead but alive , showing thanks to God in deeds of love ( Galatians 5 : 6 ( ' ... since in Christ Jesus it is not being circumcised or being uncircumcised that can effect anything - only faith working through love . ' ) ) . James was dealing with errorists who said that if they had faith they did n't need to show love by a life of faith ( James 2 : 14 - 17 ) . James countered this error by teaching that faith is alive , showing itself to be so by deeds of love ( James 2 : 18 , 26 ) . James and Paul both teach that salvation is by faith alone and also that faith is never alone but shows itself to be alive by deeds of love that express a believer 's thanks to God for the free gift of salvation by faith in Jesus . Similar canons of the time ( edit ) In his book Canon of the New Testament , Bruce Metzger notes that in 1596 Jacob Lucius published a Bible at Hamburg which labeled Luther 's four as `` Apocrypha '' ; David Wolder the pastor of Hamburg 's Church of St. Peter published in the same year a triglot Bible which labeled them as `` non canonical '' ; J. Vogt published a Bible at Goslar in 1614 similar to Lucius ' ; Gustavus Adolphus of Stockholm in 1618 published a Bible with them labeled as `` Apocr ( yphal ) New Testament . '' Protestant laity and clergy ( edit ) This section does not cite any sources . Please help improve this section by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( July 2014 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) There is some evidence that the first decision to omit these books entirely from the Bible was made by Protestant laity rather than clergy . Bibles dating from shortly after the Reformation have been found whose tables of contents included the entire Roman Catholic canon , but which did not actually contain the disputed books , leading some historians to think that the workers at the printing presses took it upon themselves to omit them . However , Anglican and Lutheran Bibles usually still contained these books until the 20th century , while Calvinist Bibles did not . Several reasons are proposed for the omission of these books from the canon . One is the support for Catholic doctrines such as Purgatory and Prayer for the dead found in 2 Maccabees . Another is that the Westminster Confession of Faith of 1646 , during the English Civil War , actually excluded them from the canon . Luther himself said he was following Jerome 's teaching about the Veritas Hebraica . Modern evangelical use ( edit ) This section does not cite any sources . Please help improve this section by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( July 2014 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Evangelicals tend not to accept the Septuagint as the inspired Hebrew Bible , though many of them recognize its wide use by Greek - speaking Jews in the first century . Many modern Protestants point to four `` Criteria for Canonicity '' to justify the books that have been included in the Old and New Testament , which are judged to have satisfied the following : Apostolic Origin -- attributed to and based on the preaching / teaching of the first - generation apostles ( or their close companions ) . Universal Acceptance -- acknowledged by all major Christian communities in the ancient world ( by the end of the fourth century ) . Liturgical Use -- read publicly when early Christian communities gathered for the Lord 's Supper ( their weekly worship services ) . Consistent Message -- containing a theological outlook similar or complementary to other accepted Christian writings .

what cut of meat is new york strip steak
Strip steak - Wikipedia Strip steak Jump to : navigation , search The examples and perspective in this article may not represent a worldwide view of the subject . You may improve this article , discuss the issue on the talk page . ( May 2016 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Strip steak <Td_colspan="2"> Beef Cuts Type Short loin cut of beef Grilled Kansas City strip steak topped with onions and mushrooms The strip steak is a cut of beef steaks from the short loin from a cow . It consists of a muscle that does little work , the longissimus , making the meat particularly tender ; although not as tender as the nearby psoas major or tenderloin . Fat content of the strip is somewhere between the two cuts . Unlike the tenderloin , the longissimus is a sizable muscle , allowing it to be cut into larger portions . Contents ( hide ) 1 Other names 2 Related cuts 3 See also 4 References Other names ( edit ) A U.S. Prime raw strip steak with a high marbling content Raw strip steak According to the National Cattlemen 's Beef Association , the steak is marketed in the United States under various names , including Ambassador Steak , Boneless Club Steak , Hotel - Style Steak , Kansas City Steak , New York Steak , Top Loin , and Veiny Steak . In New Zealand and Australia , it is known as Porterhouse and Sirloin ( striploin steak ) and can be found in the Handbook of Australian Meat under codes 2140 to 2143 . In the UK and Ireland it is called sirloin . In Canada , most meat purveyors refer to this cut as a strip loin ; in French it is known as contre - filet . Delmonico 's Restaurant , an operation opened in New York City in 1827 , offered as one of its signature dishes a cut from the short loin called a Delmonico steak . Due to its association with the city , it is often referred to as a New York strip steak . Related Cuts ( edit ) When still attached to the bone , and with a piece of the tenderloin also included , the strip steak becomes a T - bone steak or a porterhouse steak , the difference being that the porterhouse has a larger portion of tenderloin included . The strip steak may be sold with or without the bone . Strip steaks may be substituted for most recipes calling for T - bone and porterhouse steaks , and sometimes for fillet and rib eye steaks . A bone - in strip steak with no tenderloin attached is sometimes referred to as a shell steak .

The history of defamation law in England is somewhat obscure ; civil actions for damages seem to have been relatively frequent as far back as the reign of Edward I ( 1272 -- 1307 ) , though it is unknown whether any generally applicable criminal process was in place . The first fully reported case in which libel is affirmed generally to be punishable at common law was tried during the reign of James I ( 1603 - 1625 ) . Scholars frequently attribute the strict English defamation law to James I 's outlawing of dueling . From that time , we find both the criminal and civil remedies in full operation . English law allows actions for libel to be brought in the High Court for any published statements which are alleged to defame a named or identifiable individual ( s ) ( under English law companies are legal persons , and may bring suit for defamation ) in a manner which causes them loss in their trade or profession , or causes a reasonable person to think worse of him , her or them . Allowable defences are justification ( i.e. the truth of the statement ) , fair comment ( i.e. , whether the statement was a view that a reasonable person could have held ) , and privilege ( i.e. , whether the statements were made in Parliament or in court , or whether they were fair reports of allegations in the public interest ) . An offer of amends is a barrier to litigation . A defamatory statement is presumed to be false , unless the defendant can prove its truth . Furthermore , to collect compensatory damages , a public official or public figure must prove actual malice ( knowing falsity or reckless disregard for the truth ) . A private individual must only prove negligence ( not exercising due care ) to collect compensatory damages . In order to collect punitive damages , all individuals must prove actual malice . English defamation law puts the burden of proving the truth of allegedly defamatory statements on the defendant , rather than the plaintiff , and has been considered an impediment to free speech in much of the developed world . In many cases of libel tourism , plaintiffs sued in England to censor critical works when their home countries would reject the case outright . In the United States , the 2010 SPEECH Act makes foreign libel judgements unenforceable and unrecognizable by U.S. courts if they do n't comply with U.S. protections for freedom of speech and due process , and was made largely in response to the English laws . The Defamation Act 2013 substantially reformed English defamation law in recognition of these concerns , by strengthening the criteria ( including geographical relevance criteria ) for a successful claim , mandating evidence of actual or probable harm , curtailing sharply the scope for claims of continuing defamation ( in which republication or continued visibility comprises ongoing renewed defamation ) , and enhancing the scope of existing defences for website operators , public interest , and privileged publications , including peer reviewed scientific journals . The 2013 law applies to causes of action occurring after its commencement on 1 January 2014 ; old libel law will therefore still apply in many 2014 -- 2015 defamation cases where the events complained of took place before commencement . Northern Ireland is not subject to the Defamation Act 2013 and has not passed a similar reform . This has already caused controversy regarding the publishing of the book and broadcasting of the documentary Going Clear .

The earlier history of the English law of defamation is somewhat obscure ; civil actions for damages seem to have been tolerably frequent as far back as the reign of Edward I ( 1272 -- 1307 ) . There was no distinction drawn between written and spoken words , and when no pecuniary penalty was involved , such cases fell within the old jurisdiction of the ecclesiastical courts , which were only finally abolished in the eighteenth century . It seems uncertain whether or not any generally applicable criminal process was in place . The crime of scandalum magnatum ( spreading false reports about the magnates of the realm ) was established by the Statute of Westminster 1275 , c. 34 , but the first fully reported case in which libel is affirmed generally to be punishable at common law is one tried in the Star Chamber in the reign of James I. In that particular case , no English authorities are cited , except for a previous case of the same nature before the same tribunal ; the law and terminology appear to be taken directly from Roman sources , with the insertion that libels tended to cause a breach of the peace , and it seems probable that a not - too - scrupulous tribunal had simply found it convenient to adopt the very stringent Roman provisions regarding the libelli famosi without paying any regard to the Roman limitations . From that time , we find both the criminal and civil remedies in full operation . Volume of litigation ( edit ) An increase in defamation litigation has been noted in England from the early seventeenth century . In the south of England , this litigation rose most sharply in cases of sexual slander and were notable for the increasing number of women pursuing litigation in defence of their sexual reputation . In one respect , this pattern has been linked with increasing legal access for women . In another respect , however , it has been linked to the rise of `` middling '' traders in urban centres and an increasing concern with the defence of family reputation in which a woman 's sexual integrity was coterminous with the integrity of her household . A similar pattern has been noted in the northern English jurisdictions but this rise seems not to have occurred until the latter years of the seventeenth century . Criminal offence ( edit ) See defamatory libel . Present law ( edit ) English law allows actions for libel to be brought in the High Court for any published statements which are alleged to defame a named or identifiable individual ( or individuals ; under English law companies are legal persons , and allowed to bring suit for defamation ) in a manner which causes them loss in their trade or profession , or causes a reasonable person to think worse of him , her or them . A is liable for saying anything to C about B which would be apt to make the average citizen think worse of the latter . -- Tony Weir , Tort Law p. 162 A statement can include an implication ; for instance , a photograph of a particular politician accompanying a headline reading `` Corrupt Politicians '' could be held as an allegation that that politician was personally corrupt . Once it is shown that a statement was published , and that it has a defamatory meaning , that statement is presumed to be false unless the defendant is able to raise a defence to his defamatory act . Under English law , because companies are legal persons they can sue on the basis of libel the same as natural persons . Cases supporting this principle go as far back as the 19th century , such as South Hetton Coal Co. Ltd. v. North Eastern News Ass'n Ltd. ( 1894 ) , and extend to more recent cases such as Bognor Regis U.D.C. v. Campion ( 1972 ) and the McLibel case , when McDonald 's sued several protesters . The 2006 case of Keith - Smith v Williams confirmed that discussions on the Internet were public enough for libel to take place . Slander actionable per se ( edit ) The following are actionable without proof of special damage / actual damage : Words imputing a crime punishable with imprisonment Words imputing certain diseases Words disparaging a person in his office , calling or profession , see section 2 of the Defamation Act 1952 . Also at common law . In 1975 the Faulks Committee recommended that the distinction between libel and slander should be abolished , and that slander should be assimilated to libel . Publication in a permanent form ( edit ) As to what constitutes publication in a permanent form for the purpose of the law relating to libel , see section 166 ( 1 ) of the Broadcasting Act 1990 and sections 4 ( 1 ) and ( 3 ) and ( 7 ) of the Theatres Act 1968 . See formerly section 1 of the Defamation Act 1952 . Burden of proof on the defendant ( edit ) In the common law of libel , the claimant has the burden only of proving that the statement was made by the defendant , and that it was defamatory . These things are generally relatively easy to prove . The claimant is not required to prove that the statement was false . Instead , proving the truth of the statement is an affirmative defence available to the defendant . Because proving the truth or falsity of the statement is often extremely difficult ( and the defendant does not generally have the ability to force the claimant to disclose materials that might help prove it ) it is frequently said that the `` burden of proof '' in English defamation law falls upon the defendant . Defences ( edit ) Justification ( edit ) A claim of defamation is defeated if the defendant proves on the balance of probabilities that the statement was true . If the defence fails , a court may treat any material produced by the defence to substantiate it , and any ensuing media coverage , as factors aggravating the libel and increasing the damages . A statement quoting another person can not be justified merely by proving that the other person had also made the statement : the substance of the allegation must be proved . The Defamation Act 2013 replaced this defence with the defence of truth . Where the words contain more than one charge ( edit ) In an action for libel or slander in respect of words containing two or more distinct charges against the plaintiff , a defence of justification does not fail by reason only that the truth of every charge is not proved if the words not proved to be true do not materially injure the plaintiff 's reputation having regard to the truth of the remaining charges . In other words , to succeed in their defence of justification , the defendant need not prove every charge to be true , just enough of the charges so that the remaining charges do not on their own constitute a material injury to the plaintiff 's reputation . Spent convictions ( edit ) Section 8 ( 3 ) of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 provides that nothing in section 4 ( 1 ) of that Act prevents the defendant in any action for libel or slander begun after the commencement of that Act by a rehabilitated person , and founded upon the publication of any matter imputing that the plaintiff has committed or been charged with or prosecuted for or convicted of or sentenced for an offence which was the subject of a spent conviction , from relying on any defence of justification which is available to him , or restrict the matters he may establish in support of any such defence . But a defendant in any such action is not , by virtue of the said section 8 ( 3 ) , entitled to rely upon the defence of justification if the publication is proved to have been made with malice . The Act does not apply to offences that warrant a 4 - year prison sentence or more , which can never be spent . Fair comment ( edit ) This section needs expansion . You can help by adding to it . ( June 2009 ) Main article : Fair comment § United Kingdom This defence arises if the defendant shows that the statement was a view that a reasonable person could have held , even if they were motivated by dislike or hatred of the plaintiff . The fair comment defence is sometimes known as `` the critic 's defence '' as it is designed to protect the right of the press to state valid opinions on matters of public interest such as governmental activity , political debate , public figures and general affairs . It also defends comments on works of art in the public eye such as theatre productions , music , and literature . However , fair comment , and justification defences will fail if they are based on misstatements of fact . An example of this arose in London Artists Ltd v Littler ( 1969 ) . When a whole group of actors resigned from a play the director wrote a letter to each of them and to their agent company , accusing them of plotting against him . The case was decided to be a matter of public concern because of the general interest in entertainment . For an opinion to be fair comment it must be based upon facts , as highlighted in Kemsley v Foot ( 1952 ) A.C. 345 . The politician and journalist Michael Foot had printed an article in Tribune , a left - wing newspaper , condemning the London Evening Standard for unethically publishing a certain story . Lord Kemsley , who owned other newspapers , maintained that the article 's headline , `` Lower than Kemsley '' , impugned the standards of the Kemsley press . The defence of fair comment was allowed to stand . There is also no need for the perpetrator of the comment to actually believe in it as in court the comment will be measured according to an `` objective '' test . In Telnikoff v Matusevitch ( 1992 ) , Telnikoff wrote an article in the Daily Telegraph criticising the BBC Russian Service for over-recruiting people from ethnic minority groups . Matusevitch replied accusing the claimant of being a racist . The House of Lords held that he had to show that the comment was based around the article , which would make it fair comment as it was possible most people would not know why he was making such a statement . A defence of fair comment can fail if the defendant shows malice , as in Thomas v Bradbury , Agnew & Co. ( 1906 ) ; the defendant not only criticised the claimant 's book but made many personal slurs against the author , invalidating the defence . The Defamation Act 2013 replaced the common law defence of fair comment with the statutory defence of honest opinion . Absolute privilege ( edit ) Main article : Absolute privilege in English law Further information : Parliamentary privilege in the United Kingdom This section needs expansion . You can help by adding to it . ( June 2009 ) If the defendant 's comments were made in Parliament , or under oath in a court of law , they are entitled to absolute privilege . This privilege is absolute : qualified privilege protects only the communication of the complained statement . There can be no investigation into whether remarks made in a situation of absolute privilege are defamatory . Qualified privilege ( edit ) Main article : Qualified privilege in English law There are several situations where the defence of qualified privilege applies . Reports and remarks of Parliamentary proceedings , as well as reports of judicial proceedings attract qualified privilege . These have to be `` fair and accurate '' ; as Lord Denning stated in Associated Newspaper Ltd v Dingle , if the writer `` garnishes '' and `` embellishes '' such reports with any form of circumstantial evidence , the defence can not apply . Additionally , where there is a mutual interest between two parties , statements deemed to be defamatory are protected where it can be proved there is a duty to impart them . The case of Watt v Longsdon exemplifies this principle , and the limitations of it . Here , the director of a company informed the chairman of alleged sexual misconduct involving Watt . This communication was deemed privilege , but the informing of such suspicion to the claimant 's wife was not . The defence has seen expansion recently in light of Reynolds v Times Newspapers Ltd , where the House of Lords -- drawing principally on Lord Nicholls ' judgement -- established that the mass media could be entitled to the defence , where criteria of `` responsible journalism '' ( further expanded upon in Loutchansky v Times Newspapers Ltd ) were met . This expansion was confirmed in the case of Jameel v Wall Street Journal Europe , and has been described as giving newspapers protections similar to the First Amendment to the United States Constitution . The defence used in Reynolds v Times Newspapers Ltd was abolished by the Defamation Act 2013 , Section 4 subsection 6 . This does not have an effect on the common law defence based on a reciprocity of duty or interest as between the maker of the statement and the recipient , See section 15 of , and Schedule 1 to , the Defamation Act 1996 . See also section 1 ( 5 ) of the Public Bodies ( Admission to Meetings ) Act 1960 , section 121 of the Broadcasting Act 1996 , section 79 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and section 72 of the Learning and Skills Act 2000 . Innocent dissemination ( edit ) Main article : Innocent dissemination In general , everyone involved in the dissemination of the defamation is liable as having published it . But it has been held that some forms of distribution are so mechanical that the actor ought not to be held liable unless he / she ought to have realized that there was defamation involved . The defence is known as innocent dissemination or mechanical distributor . Apology and payment into court for newspaper libel ( edit ) See section 2 of the Libel Act 1843 and the Libel Act 1845 . This defence has fallen into disuse . In 1975 , the Faulks Committee recommended that it be abolished . Limitation ( edit ) See section 4A ( a ) of the Limitation Act 1980 . Death of the plaintiff ( edit ) See the proviso to section 1 ( 1 ) of the Law Reform ( Miscellaneous Provisions ) Act 1934 . Damages ( edit ) See also : Measure of Damages ( under English law ) The level of damages awarded for defamation cases have been subject to sustained criticism from judges and academics . Some have commented that libel damages are high compared to the sums awarded for personal injuries . In a consultation considering personal injury damages the Law Commission commented that : The disparity between the sums of compensation awarded offends the proper relationship which ought to exist between pain , suffering and loss of amenity on the one hand and loss of reputation and injury to feelings on the other . A `` wrong scale of values '' is being applied . citing various awards including : £ 350,000 in John v MGN ( 1992 ) ; £ 200,000 Donovan v The Face Magazine ( 1993 ) ; and £ 600,000 Sutcliffe v Private Eye ( 1989 ) . And contrasting these with a payment `` in the region of £ 35,000 to £ 50,000 '' for `` a person who loses a leg through amputation '' . However , the commission goes on to note that defamation damages have a `` vindacatory element '' , and that notwithstanding comments from some judges ( McCarey v Associated Newspapers Ltd , 1965 ) , `` the prevailing English judicial approach is that a valid comparison can not be made between personal injury awards and damages for defamation '' . But concludes that , `` we do not believe that such counter-arguments can explain , or indeed justify , a practice `` whereby a plaintiff in an action for libel may recover a larger sum by way of damages for an injury to his reputation ... than the damages awarded for pain and suffering to the victim of an industrial accident who has last an eye ... '' In the ECHR case , Tolstoy Miloslavsky v. United Kingdom the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg added to the criticism of awards given by juries . Defamation is a curious part of the law of tort in this respect , because usually juries are present . The argument goes that juries , when deciding how much to award , will be told the awards in previous cases . They will have a tendency to push to the limits of what was awarded before , leading to a general upward drift of payouts . However , in John & MGN Ltd ( 1997 ) QB 586 , the Court of Appeal laid down rules to constrain the jury 's discretion , and give more comprehensive advice before juries decide . Mitigation of damages ( edit ) As to evidence of an apology , see section 1 of the Libel Act 1843 . As to evidence of other damages recovered by the plaintiff , see section 12 of the Defamation Act 1952 . Consolidation of actions ( edit ) As to consolidation of actions , see section 5 of the Law of Libel Amendment Act 1888 ( libel ) and section 13 of the Defamation Act 1952 ( slander ) . Reforms in 2013 ( edit ) On 25 April 2013 the Defamation Act 2013 was enacted . Among other things , it requires plaintiffs who bring actions in the courts of England and Wales alleging libel by defendants who do not live in Europe to demonstrate that the court is the most appropriate place to bring the action . In addition , it includes a requirement for claimants to show that they have suffered serious harm , which in the case of for - profit bodies is restricted to serious financial loss . It removes the current presumption in favour of a Jury trial . It introduces new statutory defences of truth , honest opinion , and `` publication on a matter of public interest '' , to replace the common law defences of justification , fair comment , and the Reynolds defence respectively , and a completely new defence applying to peer - reviewed publication in a scientific or academic journal . The removal of a right to trial by jury was enforced in the case Yeo MP v Times Newspapers Limited ( 2014 ) The judge in this case denied the defendant a right to trial by jury , despite various arguments from the defence including : public interest due to the subject matter of the case ; and the public role held by the claimant as a senior member of parliament , deeming arguments from case law ill - founded due to changes to underlying legislation . The judge argued that the Civil Procedure Rules encouraging `` saving expense '' and `` ensuring that a case was dealt with expeditiously '' supported a trial without jury . Cases ( edit ) Aldington v Tolstoy ( edit ) Main article : Aldington v Tolstoy In 1989 , Toby Low , 1st Baron Aldington initiated and won a record £ 1.5 million ( plus £ 500,000 costs ) in a libel case against Count Nikolai Tolstoy - Miloslavsky and Nigel Watts , who had accused him of war crimes in Austria during his involvement in the Betrayal of the Cossacks at Lienz , Austria , at the end of World War II . This award , which bankrupted Tolstoy , was overturned by the European Court of Human Rights in July 1995 as `` not necessary in a democratic society '' and a violation of Tolstoy 's right to freedom of expression under Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights . This judgement significantly reduced the level of subsequent libel awards . The ' McLibel ' case ( edit ) Main article : McDonald 's Restaurants v Morris & Steel In 1990 , McDonald 's Restaurants sued David Morris and Helen Steel ( known as the `` McLibel Two '' ) for libel . The original case lasted seven years , making it the longest - running court action in English legal history . Beginning in 1986 , London Greenpeace , a small environmental campaigning group , distributed a pamphlet entitled What 's wrong with McDonald 's : Everything they do n't want you to know . The pamphlet claimed that the McDonald 's corporation sold unhealthy food , exploited its work force , practised unethical marketing of its products towards children , was cruel to animals , needlessly used up resources and created pollution with its packaging , and also was responsible for destroying the South American rain forests . Although McDonald 's won two hearings , the widespread public opinion against them turned the case into a matter of embarrassment for the company . McDonald 's announced that it has no plans to collect the £ 40,000 it was awarded by the courts , and offered to pay the defendants to drop the case . Steel and Morris in turn sued the UK government in the European Court of Human Rights , asserting that their rights to free speech and a fair trial had been infringed . Their most important claims were that English libel law was unfair to defendants , that it was unfair to require two people of modest means to defend themselves against a large company without legal aid , and that the damages were not justified . The court found partly in their favour , and ruled that : The denial of legal aid left Steel and Morris unable to defend themselves effectively Pressure groups should be permitted to report in good faith on matters of public interest , as journalists are It was no defence that the pamphlet repeated claims already published , or that the defendants believed them to be true It was reasonable to require the defendants to prove their claims A large multinational corporation should be allowed to sue for defamation , and need not prove the allegations were false The damages were disproportionate , considering the defendants ' income and that McDonald 's did not have to prove any financial loss In short , the lack of legal aid made the trial unfair ; the unfair trial and the excessive damages had denied the defendants ' freedom of expression . The court did uphold most features of English libel law it considered , particularly the burden of proof . Irving v Penguin Books and Lipstadt ( edit ) Main article : Irving v Penguin Books and Lipstadt On 5 September 1996 , Holocaust denier David Irving filed a libel suit concerning Deborah Lipstadt 's book Denying the Holocaust . He named in his suit Lipstadt and Penguin Books , whose division Plume had published a British edition of her book . He claimed that `` his reputation as an historian was defamed '' . Irving lost the case . He was liable to pay all of Penguin 's costs of the trial , estimated to be as much as £ 2 million ( US $3.2 million ) . He was forced into bankruptcy in 2002 and lost his home . Lipstadt spent five years defending herself . She described her story in History on Trial , published by Ecco in 2005 . Funding Evil case ( edit ) Main article : Funding Evil In 2003 Rachel Ehrenfeld published her book Funding Evil , which explained how terrorist groups receive funding . Khalid bin Mahfouz was accused of funding terrorist groups in the book . The book was not sold in British bookstores , but 23 copies were sold in Britain , which gave the United Kingdom jurisdiction . Mahfouz sued Ehrenfeld for libel , to which Ehrenfeld responded by calling this libel tourism , and refusing to recognize the legitimacy of the case . On a summary judgement in Mahfouz 's favor , after Ehrenfeld refused to appear in court , she counter-sued in U.S. courts claiming a violation of the First Amendment . While the New York courts ruled they did not have jurisdiction over Mahfouz as he was not in New York , the New York State Legislature passed `` The Libel Terrorism Protection Act '' and the U.S. Congress responded with the SPEECH act , which made foreign libel judgements unenforceable unless they meet the criteria set forth by the First Amendment . The Simon Singh case ( edit ) Further information : Simon Singh § Chiropractic lawsuit On 19 April 2008 , British author and journalist Simon Singh wrote an article in The Guardian , which resulted in him being sued for libel by the British Chiropractic Association ( BCA ) . The suit was dropped by the BCA on 15 April 2010 . Some commentators have suggested this ruling could set a precedent to restrict freedom of speech to criticise alternative medicine . The Wall Street Journal Europe has cited the case as an example of how British libel law `` chills free speech '' , commenting that : The U.S. Congress is considering a bill that would make British libel judgments unenforceable in the U.S. ... Mr. Singh is unlikely to be the last victim of Britain 's libel laws . Settling scientific and political disputes through lawsuits , though , runs counter the very principles that have made Western progress possible . `` The aim of science is not to open the door to infinite wisdom , but to set a limit to infinite error '' , Bertolt Brecht wrote in The Life of Galileo ... It is time British politicians restrain the law so that wisdom prevails in the land , and not errors . The charity Sense About Science has launched a campaign to draw attention to the case . They have issued a statement entitled `` The law has no place in scientific disputes '' , with myriad signatories representing science , journalism , publishing , arts , humanities , entertainment , skeptics , campaign groups , and law . As of 31 March 2011 , over 56,000 have signed . Many press sources have covered the issue . Cycling and doping ( edit ) Main article : History of Lance Armstrong doping allegations The cyclist Lance Armstrong employed English law firm Schillings to help him fight allegations of doping by using English libel law . Schilling 's Gideon Benaim and Matthew Himsworth worked on his cases . At one point , Schillings told `` every UK paper and broadcaster '' to not re-state allegations raised by the book L.A. Confidentiel . Armstrong sued London 's Sunday Times for libel in 2004 after it referenced the book . They settled out of court for an undisclosed sum in 2006 . After the USADA 2012 report on doping during Armstrong 's racing era , the Sunday Times stated it might attempt to recover the money it lost and might sue Armstrong for fraud . Emma O'Reilly , a masseuse who worked with Armstrong 's U.S. Postal cycling team , claimed that English libel law prevented her from speaking out about the doping she saw in cycling and the Tour de France . David Walsh , co-author of L.A. Confidentiel , told the Press Gazette in 2012 that if not for English libel law , `` Lance Armstrong might not have won the Tour De France seven times and the history of sport would be different and better '' . In 2013 , Armstrong admitted the doping on television . Cases not in court ( edit ) In addition to case law , there are numerous notable examples of authors and publishers refusing to print work out of fear of libel suits . Several novels have been cancelled or altered after threats of libel suits . UK Prime Ministor John Major sued several periodicals , including Simon Regan 's Scallywag , and New Statesman , over stories about an alleged affair with Clare Latimer ; Scallywag closed afterwards . It was later revealed that Major had a real affair with MP Edwina Currie , and Latimer later claimed Downing Street had used her as a decoy to confuse the press . Child sexual abuse ( edit ) After BBC television personality Jimmy Savile died it came to light that hundreds of people accused him of having abused them when they were children . The Sunday Mirror neglected to publish a story in 1994 regarding two of his alleged victims because its lawyers were worried about the costs of a libel trial . A British newspaper editor , Brian Hitchen , claimed he heard from a ship captain about Savile 's abuse decades beforehand , but noted that libel laws had prevented people from speaking up about Savile 's abuse . Privacy ( edit ) Main article : Privacy in English law Since the passage of the Human Rights Act 1998 , the law of defamation has been subject to pressure for reform from two particular provisions of the European Convention on Human Rights : Article 10 ECHR guarantees freedom of expression , while Article 8 ECHR guarantees a right to respect for privacy and family life . The question is , therefore , whether the law of defamation strikes the appropriate balance between allowing , for instance , newspapers sufficient freedom to engage in journalistic activity and , on the other hand , the right of private citizens not to suffer unwarranted intrusion . An independent tort protecting privacy has been rejected in a number of cases including Kaye v Robertson in the Court of Appeal and again in the House of Lords in Wainwright v Home Office . Proposals to amend the law ( edit ) The porter Committee ( edit ) In 1948 , this Committee produced the Report of the Committee on the Law of Defamation ( Cmd 7536 ) . This was partly implemented by the Defamation Act 1952 . The Faulks Committee ( edit ) This committee produced the following reports : Interim Report of the Committee on Defamation ( Cmnd 5571 ) . 1974 . Report of the Committee on Defamation ( Cmnd 5909 ) . 1975 . See also `` Defamation Defamed '' ( 1971 ) 115 Sol Jo 357 . The libel reform campaign ( edit ) On 10 November 2009 , English PEN and Index on Censorship launched their report into English libel law entitled `` Free Speech Is Not For Sale '' . The report was highly critical of English libel law and the `` chilling '' effect it has on free expression globally . The report made 10 recommendations on how English libel law could be improved ; including reversing the burden of proof , capping damages at £ 10,000 , introducing a single publication rule , and establishing libel tribunals ( to reduce costs ) . The campaign quickly grew with support from over 60,000 people and 100 affiliated organisations . The broadness of the campaign 's support contributed to its success with celebrity support , alongside support from GPs , scientists , academics and NGOs . In January 2011 , Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg said that he was committed to introducing legislation that would turn `` English libel laws from an international laughing stock to an international blueprint '' . On 15 March 2011 , a Draft Defamation Bill ( CP3 / 11 ) was published by the Ministry of Justice with an accompanying `` consultation paper containing provisions for reforming the law to strike the right balance between protection of freedom of speech and protection of reputation '' . ( Close date : 15 June 2011 ) On 6 March 2013 , a number of British authors and playwrights wrote an open letter to the leaders of the three biggest parties in the House of Commons , David Cameron , Nick Clegg , and Ed Miliband , calling them to ensure the Defamation Bill was passed . The letter , organised English PEN , grew out of a concern that the bill has become threatened by political disputes over the results of the Leveson Inquiry . The bill did not cover press regulation until February 2013 , when Lord Puttnam won support to include a section covering newspapers . The Defamation Act 2013 came into effect on 1 January 2014 . Legal aid ( edit ) In 1979 the Royal Commission on Legal Services recommended that legal aid should be made available for proceedings in defamation . The same recommendation had previously been made in the twenty - fifth annual report of the Legal Aid Advisory Committee .

Lake Michigan is one of the five Great Lakes of North America and the only one located entirely within the United States . The other four Great Lakes are shared by the U.S. and Canada . It is the second - largest of the Great Lakes by volume and the third - largest by surface area , after Lake Superior and Lake Huron ( and is slightly smaller than the U.S. state of West Virginia ) . To the east , its basin is conjoined with that of Lake Huron through the wide Straits of Mackinac , giving it the same surface elevation as its easterly counterpart ; the two are technically a single lake . Lake Michigan is shared , from west to east , by the U.S. states of Wisconsin , Illinois , Indiana , and Michigan . Ports along its shores include Chicago ; Milwaukee ; Green Bay , Wisconsin ; Gary , Indiana ; and Muskegon , Michigan . The word `` Michigan '' originally referred to the lake itself , and is believed to come from the Ojibwe word michi - gami meaning `` great water '' .

Their culture declined after 800 AD , and for the next few hundred years , the region was the home of peoples known as the Late Woodland Indians . In the early 17th century , when western European explorers made their first forays into the region , they encountered descendants of the Late Woodland Indians : the Chippewa ; Menominee ; Sauk ; Fox ; Winnebago ; Miami ; Ottawa ; and Potawatomi . The French explorer Jean Nicolet is believed to have been the first European to reach Lake Michigan , possibly in 1634 or 1638 . In the earliest European maps of the region , the name of Lake Illinois has been found in addition to that of `` Michigan '' , named for the Illinois Confederation of tribes . Lake Michigan is joined via the narrow , open - water Straits of Mackinac with Lake Huron , and the combined body of water is sometimes called Michigan -- Huron ( also Huron -- Michigan ) . The Straits of Mackinac were an important Native American and fur trade route . Located on the southern side of the Straits is the town of Mackinaw City , Michigan , the site of Fort Michilimackinac , a reconstructed French fort founded in 1715 , and on the northern side is St. Ignace , Michigan , site of a French Catholic mission to the Indians , founded in 1671 . In 1673 , Jacques Marquette , Louis Joliet and their crew of five Métis voyageurs followed Lake Michigan to Green Bay and up the Fox River , nearly to its headwaters , in their search for the Mississippi River , cf . Fox -- Wisconsin Waterway . The eastern end of the Straits was controlled by Fort Mackinac on Mackinac Island , a British colonial and early American military base and fur trade center , founded in 1781 . With the advent of European exploration into the area in the late 17th century , Lake Michigan became part of a line of waterways leading from the Saint Lawrence River to the Mississippi River and thence to the Gulf of Mexico . French coureurs des bois and voyageurs established small ports and trading communities , such as Green Bay , on the lake during the late 17th and early 18th centuries . In the 19th century , Lake Michigan played a major role in the development of Chicago and the Midwestern United States west of the lake . For example , 90 % of the grain shipped from Chicago traveled east over Lake Michigan during the antebellum years , and only rarely falling below 50 % after the Civil War and the major expansion of railroad shipping . The first person to reach the deep bottom of Lake Michigan was J. Val Klump , a scientist at the University of Wisconsin -- Milwaukee . Klump reached the bottom via submersible as part of a 1985 research expedition . In 2007 , a row of stones paralleling an ancient shoreline was discovered by Mark Holley , professor of underwater archeology at Northwestern Michigan College . This formation lies 40 feet ( 12 m ) below the surface of the lake . One of the stones is said to have a carving resembling a mastodon . So far the formation has not been authenticated . Geography ( edit ) Lake Michigan bathymetric map . The deepest point is marked with `` × '' . Lake Michigan basin Lake Michigan is the only one of the Great Lakes wholly within the borders of the United States ; the others are shared with Canada . It lies in the region known as the American Midwest . Statistics and Bathymetry ( edit ) Lake Michigan has a surface area of 22,404 sq. mi ( 58,026 km ) ; ( 13,237 square miles , 34,284 km lying in Michigan state , 7,358 square miles , 19,056 km in Wisconsin , 234 square miles , 606 km in Indiana , & 1,576 square miles , 4,079 km in Illinois ) making it the largest lake entirely within one country by surface area ( Lake Baikal , in Russia , is larger by water volume ) , and the fifth - largest lake in the world . It is the larger half of Lake Michigan -- Huron , which is the largest body of fresh water in the world by surface area . It is 307 miles ( 494 km ) long by 118 miles ( 190 km ) wide with a shoreline 1,640 miles ( 2,640 km ) long . The lake 's average depth is 46 fathoms 3 feet ( 279 ft ; 85 m ) , while its greatest depth is 153 fathoms 5 feet ( 923 ft ; 281 m ) . It contains a volume of 1,180 cubic miles ( 4,918 km3 ) of water . Green Bay in the northwest is its largest bay . Grand Traverse Bay in its northeast is another large bay . Its deepest region , which lies in its northern - half , is called Chippewa Basin ( named after prehistoric Lake Chippewa ) and is separated from South Chippewa Basin , by a relatively shallower area called the Mid Lake Plateau . Cities ( edit ) The Milwaukee lakefront Twelve million people live along Lake Michigan 's shores , mainly in the Chicago and Milwaukee metropolitan areas . The economy of many communities in northern Michigan and Door County , Wisconsin is supported by tourism , with large seasonal populations attracted by the beauty and recreational opportunities offered by Lake Michigan . Seasonal residents often have summer homes along the waterfront and return home for the winter . The southern tip of the lake near Gary , Indiana is heavily industrialized . Cities on the shores of Lake Michigan include : Illinois Chicago Evanston Glencoe Highland Park Kenilworth Lake Forest Lake Bluff North Chicago Waukegan Wilmette Winnetka Zion Indiana East Chicago Gary Hammond Michigan City Portage Porter Whiting Michigan Benton Harbor Bridgman Charlevoix Douglas Elberta Escanaba Ferrysburg Frankfort Gladstone Glenn Grand Beach Grand Haven Harbor Springs Holland Ludington Mackinaw City Manistee Manistique Menominee Michiana Muskegon New Buffalo Norton Shores Pentwater Petoskey Saugatuck St. Joseph Shoreham South Haven Traverse City Wisconsin Algoma Bay View Cudahy Fox Point Green Bay Kenosha Kewaunee Manitowoc Milwaukee Mequon Oconto Port Washington Racine Saint Francis Sheboygan Shorewood South Milwaukee Sturgeon Bay Two Rivers Whitefish Bay Connection to ocean and open water ( edit ) Sunset at Nordhouse Dunes The Saint Lawrence Seaway and Great Lakes Waterway opened the Great Lakes to ocean - going vessels . Wider ocean - going container ships do not fit through the locks on these routes , and thus shipping is limited on the lakes . Despite their vast size , large sections of the Great Lakes freeze in winter , interrupting most shipping . Some icebreakers ply the lakes . The Great Lakes are also connected by the Illinois Waterway to the Gulf of Mexico via the Illinois River ( from Chicago ) and the Mississippi River . An alternate track is via the Illinois River ( from Chicago ) , to the Mississippi , up the Ohio , and then through the Tennessee - Tombigbee Waterway ( combination of a series of rivers and lakes and canals ) , to Mobile Bay and the Gulf . Commercial tug - and - barge traffic on these waterways is heavy . Pleasure boats can also enter or exit the Great Lakes by way of the Erie Canal and Hudson River in New York . The Erie Canal connects to the Great Lakes at the east end of Lake Erie ( at Buffalo , NY ) and at the south side of Lake Ontario ( at Oswego , NY ) . Beaches ( edit ) Sand dune on Lake Michigan at Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore Saugatuck Dunes State Park Lake Michigan has many beaches . The region is often referred to as the `` Third Coast '' of the United States , after those of the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean . The sand is often soft and off - white , known as `` singing sands '' because of the squeaking noise ( caused by high quartz content ) it emits when walked upon . Some beaches have sand dunes covered in green beach grass and sand cherries , and the water is usually clear and cool , between 55 and 80 ° F ( 13 and 27 ° C ) , even in the late summer months . However , because prevailing westerly winds tend to move the surface water toward the east , there is a flow of warmer water to the Michigan shore in the summer . The sand dunes located on the east shore of Lake Michigan are the largest freshwater dune system in the world . In fact , in multiple locations along the shoreline , the dunes rise several hundred feet above the lake surface . Large dune formations can be seen in many state parks , national forests and national parks along the Indiana and Michigan shoreline . Some of the most expansive and unique dune formations can be found at Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore , Saugatuck Dunes State Park , Warren Dunes State Park , Hoffmaster State Park , Silver Lake State Park , Ludington State Park , and Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore . Small dune formations can be found on the western shore of Lake Michigan at Illinois Beach State Park and moderate sized dune formations can be found in Kohler - Andrae State Park and Point Beach State Forest in Wisconsin . A large dune formation can be found in Whitefish Dunes State Park in Wisconsin in the Door Peninsula . Lake Michigan beaches in Northern Michigan are the only place in the world , aside from a few inland lakes in that region , where one can find Petoskey stones , the state stone . The beaches of the western coast and the northernmost part of the east coast are often rocky , with some sandy beaches due to local conditions ; while the southern and eastern beaches are typically sandy and dune - covered . This is partly because of the prevailing winds from the west ( which also cause thick layers of ice to build on the eastern shore in winter ) . The Chicago city waterfront is composed of parks , beaches , harbors and marinas , and residential developments connected by the Chicago Lakefront Trail . Where there are no beaches or marinas , stone or concrete revetments protect the shoreline from erosion . The Chicago lakefront is quite walkable ; it is possible to stroll past parks , beaches , and marinas for about 24 miles ( 39 km ) between the city 's southern and northern limits along the lake . Ferries ( edit ) SS Badger operates ferry services between Manitowoc and Ludington Two passenger and vehicle ferries operate ferry services on Lake Michigan , both connecting Wisconsin on the western shore with Michigan on the east . From May to October , the historic steam ship , SS Badger , operates daily between Manitowoc , Wisconsin , and Ludington , Michigan , connecting U.S. Highway 10 between the two cities . The Lake Express , established in 2004 , carries passengers and vehicles across the lake between Milwaukee , Wisconsin , and Muskegon , Michigan . Islands ( edit ) Big Sable Point , Michigan The Beaver Island archipelago in Charlevoix County , Michigan , includes Beaver Island , Garden Island , Grape Island , Gull Island , Hat Island , High Island , Hog Island , Horseshoe Island , Little Island , Pismire Island , Shoe Island , Squaw Island , Trout Island , and Whiskey Island . The Fox Islands in Leelanau County , Michigan , consist of North Fox Island and South Fox Island . The Manitou Islands , North Manitou Island and South Manitou Island , are in Leelanau County , Michigan . Islands within Grand Traverse Bay include Bassett Island , Bellow Island , and Marion Island . Islands south of the Garden Peninsula in Delta County , Michigan include Gravelly Island , Gull Island , Little Gull Island , Little Summer Island , Poverty Island , Rocky Island , St. Martin Island , and Summer Island . Islands in Big Bay de Noc in Delta County , Michigan include Round Island , Saint Vital Island , and Snake Island . Islands in Little Bay de Noc in Delta County , Michigan include Butlers Island and Sand Island . Wilderness State Park in Emmet County , Michigan contains Temperance Island and Waugoshance Island . Epoufette Island , Gravel Island , Little Hog Island , and Naubinway Island are located in Mackinac County , Michigan , in the area of Epoufette , Michigan and Naubinway , Michigan . Green Island and St. Helena Island are in the vicinity of the Mackinac Bridge , in Mackinac County , Michigan . Islands surrounding the Door Peninsula in Wisconsin include Chambers Island , Fish Island , Gravel Island , Spider Island , Horseshoe Island , the Sister Islands , Detroit Island , Green Island , Hog Island , Pilot Island , Plum Island , Rock Island , the Strawberry Islands and Washington Island . The northern half of the peninsula is technically an island itself , due to the Sturgeon Bay Ship Canal . Northerly Island is a 91 - acre ( 37 ha ) man - made island in Chicago . It is the home of the Adler Planetarium , the former site of Meigs Field , and the current site of the temporary concert venue Charter One Pavilion each summer . Other islands included Fisherman Island in Charlevoix County , Michigan and Ile aux Galets in Emmet County , Michigan . Plum Island ( Wisconsin ) is an island at the western shore of Lake Michigan in the southern part of the town of Washington in Door County , Wisconsin . Parks ( edit ) Lake view from the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore , with people climbing uphill Chicago 's North Avenue Beach , Lincoln Park Lake Michigan and the Chicago skyline from Portage , Indiana Eichelman Park in Kenosha , Wisconsin with Lake Michigan in the background The National Park Service maintains the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore and Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore . Parts of the shoreline are within the Hiawatha National Forest and the Manistee National Forest . The Manistee National Forest section of the shoreline includes the Nordhouse Dunes Wilderness . The Lake Michigan division of the Michigan Islands National Wildlife Refuge is also within the lake . There are numerous state and local parks located on the shores of the lake or on islands within the lake . A partial list follows . Chicago Park District Beaches Duck Lake State Park Fayette Historic State Park Fisherman 's Island State Park Grand Haven State Park Grand Mere State Park Harrington Beach State Park Holland State Park Hoffmaster State Park Illinois Beach State Park Indian Lake State Park Indiana Dunes State Park Kohler - Andrae State Park Lake Park , Milwaukee Ludington State Park Leelanau State Park Mears State Park Muskegon State Park Newport State Park Orchard Beach State Park Peninsula State Park Racine Zoo Saugatuck Dunes State Park Silver Lake State Park Traverse City State Park Terry Andrae State Park Van Buren State Park Warren Dunes State Park White Shoal Light ( Michigan ) Wells State Park Wilderness State Park Lighthouses ( edit ) Illinois lighthouses Indiana lighthouses Michigan lighthouses Wisconsin lighthouses Hydrology ( edit ) The Milwaukee Reef , running under Lake Michigan from a point between Milwaukee and Racine to a point between Grand Haven and Muskegon , divides the lake into northern and southern basins . Each basin has a clockwise flow of water , deriving from rivers , winds , and the Coriolis effect . Prevailing westerly winds tend to move the surface water toward the east , producing a moderating effect on the climate of western Michigan . There is a mean difference in summer temperatures of 5 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit ( 2 to 5 degrees Celsius ) between the Wisconsin and Michigan shores . Hydrologically Michigan and Huron are the same body of water ( sometimes called Lake Michigan - Huron ) , but are normally considered distinct . Counted together , it is the largest body of fresh water in the world by surface area . The Mackinac Bridge is generally considered the dividing line between them . Both lakes are part of the Great Lakes Waterway . Historic High Water The lake fluctuates from month to month , with the highest lake levels typically experienced in the summer . The normal high - water mark is 2.00 feet ( 0.61 m ) above datum 577.5 ft ( 176.0 m ) . In the summer of 1986 , Lakes Michigan and Huron reached their highest level during the period during which records have been kept , at 5.92 ft ( 1.80 m ) above datum . The high water records began in February 1986 and lasted through the year , ending with January 1987 . Water levels ranged from 3.67 ft ( 1.12 m ) to 5.92 feet ( 1.80 m ) above Chart Datum . On February 21 , 1986 , the waters neared the all - time maximum for the period during which records have been kept . Historic Low Water Lake levels tend to be the lowest in winter . The normal low water mark is 1.00 foot ( 0.30 m ) below datum 577.5 ft ( 176.0 m ) . In the winter of 1964 , Lakes Michigan and Huron reached their lowest level at 1.38 feet ( 0.42 m ) below datum . As with the highwater records , monthly low water records were set each month from February 1964 through January 1965 . During this twelve - month period water levels ranged from 1.38 feet ( 0.42 m ) to 0.71 feet ( 0.22 m ) below Chart Datum . In January 2013 , Lake Michigan 's monthly mean water levels dipped to an all - time low of 576.2 ft ( 175.6 m ) , reaching their lowest ebb since record keeping began in 1918 . The lakes were 29 in ( 0.74 m ) below their long - term average and had declined 17 inches since January 2012 . Keith Kompoltowicz , chief of watershed hydrology for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers ' district office in Detroit , explained that biggest factors leading to the lower water levels in 2013 were a combination of the `` lack of a large snowpack '' in the winter of 2011 / 2012 coupled with very hot and dry conditions in the summer of 2012 . Drinking water ( edit ) Lake Michigan , like the other Great Lakes , supplies drinking water to millions of people in bordering areas . The lakes are collectively administered by the state and provincial governments adjacent to them pursuant to the Great Lakes Compact . Environmental problems can still plague the lake . Steel mills and refineries operate near the Indiana shoreline . The Chicago Tribune reported that BP is a major polluter , dumping thousands of pounds of raw sludge into the lake every day from its Whiting , Indiana , oil refinery . In March 2014 BP 's Whiting refinery was responsible for spilling more than 1,600 US gallons ( 6,100 l ) of oil into the lake . Fishing ( edit ) Lake Michigan is home to a wide variety of fish species and other organisms . It was originally home to lake whitefish , lake trout , yellow perch , panfish , largemouth bass , smallmouth bass and bowfin , as well as some species of catfish . As a result of improvements to the Welland Canal in 1919 , an invasion of sea lampreys and overharvesting , there has been a decline in native lake trout populations , ultimately causing an increase in the population of another invasive species , the alewife . As a result , salmonids , including various strains of brown trout , steelhead ( rainbow trout ) , coho and chinook salmon , were introduced as predators in order to decrease the alewife population . This program was so successful that the introduced population of trout and salmon exploded , resulting in the creation of a large sport fishery for these introduced species . Lake Michigan is now stocked annually with steelhead , brown trout , and coho and chinook salmon , which have also begun natural reproduction in some Lake Michigan tributaries . However , several introduced invasive species , such as lampreys , round goby , zebra mussels and quagga mussels , continue to cause major changes in water clarity and fertility , resulting in knock - on changes to Lake Michigan 's ecosystem , threatening the vitality of native fish populations . Commercial fisheries ( edit ) Fisheries in inland waters of the United States are small compared to marine fisheries . The largest fisheries are the landings from the Great Lakes , worth about $13 million in 2003 . Michigan 's commercial fishery today consists mainly of 150 tribe - licensed commercial fishing operations through the Chippewa - Ottawa Resource Authority ( CORA ) and tribes belonging to the Great Lakes Indian Fish and Wildlife Commission ( GLIFWC ) , which harvest 50 percent of the Great Lakes commercial catch in Michigan waters , and 45 state - licensed commercial fishing enterprises . The prime commercial species is the lake whitefish ( Coregonus clupeaformis ) . The annual harvest declined from an average of 11 million pounds ( 5,000,000 kg ) from 1981 through to 1999 to more recent annual harvests of 8 to 9.5 million pounds ( 3,600,000 to 4,300,000 kg ) . The price for lake whitefish dropped from $1.04 / lb. to as low as $. 40 / lb during periods of high production . Sports fishing ( edit ) Sports fishing includes salmon , whitefish , smelt , lake trout and walleye being major catches . In the late 1960s , successful stocking programs for Pacific salmon led to the development of Lake Michigan 's charter fishing industry . Shipping ( edit ) Like all of the Great Lakes , Lake Michigan is today used as a major mode of transport for bulk goods . In 2002 , 162 million net tons of dry bulk cargo were moved via the Lakes . This was , in order of volume : iron ore , grain and potash . The iron ore and much of the stone and coal are used in the steel industry . There is also some shipping of liquid and containerized cargo , but most container vessels can not pass the locks on the Saint Lawrence Seaway because the ships are too wide . The total amount of shipping on the lakes has been on a downward trend for several years . Port of Chicago ( edit ) Main article : Port of Chicago The Port of Chicago , operated by the Illinois International Port District , has grain ( 14 million bushels ) and bulk liquid ( 800,000 barrels ) storage facilities along Lake Calumet . The central element of the Port District , Calumet Harbor , is maintained by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers . Lake Michigan beach at Holland State Park Tourism and recreation ( edit ) Tourism and recreation are major industries on all of the Great Lakes : A few small cruise ships operate on Lake Michigan , including a couple of sailing ships . Many other water sports are practiced on the lakes , such as yachting , sea kayaking , diving , kitesurfing and lake surfing . The Great Lakes Circle Tour , a designated scenic road system , connects all of the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence River . Great Lakes passenger steamers have been operating since the mid-1800s . Several ferries currently operate on the Great Lakes to carry passengers to various islands , including Beaver Island and Bois Blanc Island ( Michigan ) . Currently , two car ferry services traverse Lake Michigan from around April to November : the SS Badger , a steamer from Ludington , Michigan , to Manitowoc , Wisconsin , and the Lake Express , a high speed catamaran from Milwaukee to Muskegon , Michigan .

( October 2008 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) <Th_colspan="2"> Angels in the Outfield <Td_colspan="2"> Theatrical release poster Directed by William Dear Produced by Irby Smith Joe Roth Roger Birnbaum Screenplay by Holly Goldberg Sloan Based on Angels in the Outfield by Dorothy Kingsley George Wells Starring Danny Glover Tony Danza Brenda Fricker Ben Johnson Jay O. Sanders Christopher Lloyd Music by Randy Edelman Cinematography Matthew F. Leonetti Edited by Bruce Green Production company Walt Disney Pictures Caravan Pictures Distributed by Buena Vista Pictures Release date July 15 , 1994 ( 1994 - 07 - 15 ) Running time 102 minutes Country United States Language English Budget $31 million Box office $50.2 million Angels in the Outfield is a 1994 American family sports fantasy comedy - drama film that is a remake of the 1951 film of the same name . The film stars Danny Glover , Tony Danza and Christopher Lloyd ( the two latter actors previously worked together on Taxi ) , and features several future stars , including Joseph Gordon - Levitt ( in the lead ) , Adrien Brody , Matthew McConaughey , and Neal McDonough . It spawned two direct - to - video sequels , Angels in the Endzone and Angels in the Infield . The film was released less than a month before the 1994 MLB Baseball Players Strike , which forced the league to cancel the playoffs and the World Series . This film features a fictional playoff race that never would have been played out in real life . Contents ( hide ) 1 Plot 2 Cast 3 Reception 3.1 Box office 4 References 5 External links Plot Young foster child Roger ( Joseph Gordon - Levitt ) and his friend J.P. ( Milton Davis , Jr . ) love to sneak into baseball games of the hopelessly dreadful California Angels . Still in limited contact with his widower father , Roger asks when they will be a family again . His father replies sarcastically , `` I 'd say when the Angels win the pennant . '' Taking his father 's words literally , Roger prays for God to help the Angels win . After he prays , a star , unseen by Roger , twinkles in the sky . Then , in a game against the Toronto Blue Jays which Roger and J.P. attend , he sees a group of angels led by Al ( Christopher Lloyd ) helping the team . Although Roger can see them quite clearly , everyone else can only explain the seemingly impossible acts as freak occurrences . Roger 's unique ability to see which players are receiving help from angels leads their skeptical manager , George Knox ( Danny Glover ) to keep him around as a good luck charm and consultant , including ending the use of profanity as a nod to the original film . Due to the much needed help , the Angels start to win games and make a surprising second - half surge to the top of their division . Meanwhile , Roger 's father permanently gives up custody of his son , believing it 's in Roger 's best interest . As Roger laments his loss , J.P. accidentally reveals to antagonistic sports broadcaster Ranch Wilder ( Jay O. Sanders ) that Roger has the ability to see angels , and that George has been winning through the advice Roger 's given him . Hoping to destroy George due to a longtime rivalry between the two , Ranch informs the press of this and their owner Hank Murphy ( Ben Johnson ) threatens to relieve George of his management responsibilities . Roger comes clean to his caretaker Maggie Nelson ( Brenda Fricker ) about his special ability and at a press conference they and the entire team defend George in front of the press . Moved by their faith , Murphy allows George to remain as manager of the Angels . During the championship game none of the angels show up to help the team . Later on , Al explains that championships must be played without help from the angels and that he was there just checking on pitcher Mel Clark ( Tony Danza ) who will be one of them soon as he has been a chain smoker . Mel starts struggling , and is getting tired after throwing 159 pitches . When George goes out to the mound , everyone thinks he 's going in to take Mel out , but instead , George gives him some motivation , and with encouragement from Roger , the team , and finally , the entire stadium audience as well as owner Murphy and the broadcasters ( with the exception of Ranch ) . The Angels ultimately win the final game of the regular season without the help of the angels and clinch the division pennant over the rival Chicago White Sox , thanks to Mel . Murphy fires Ranch due to his denigration of the team . The film ends with George adopting both Roger and J.P. as he wants to try be a father . J.P. sees Al at the window and says `` I knew it could happen . '' Al circles around the house and says `` We 're always watching '' and flying off into the stars , which re-enact a baseball game .

Unlike the original film , which focused on the Pittsburgh Pirates as the team in heavenly need , the 1994 remake focuses on the California Angels , who did not exist when the original film was released in 1951 . The Walt Disney Company , which distributed it , was a minority owner of the Angels at the time . The film did , however , premiere at the Pirates ' home stadium at the time , Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh . The premiere would be the only reference to the Pirates , due to the two teams playing in separate leagues ( Angels in the American League , Pirates in the National League ) and the film being released three years before the start of interleague play . The two teams would finally meet head - to - head for the first time in 2002 in Anaheim . Box office The film opened at # 4 at the North American box office , making $8,916,463 USD in its opening weekend . It went on to gross $50.2 million at the box office domestically .

The municipality covers an area of 37.72 square kilometres ( 14.56 sq mi ) and as of 2011 had a population of 873 people .

The Albedense Chronicle ( c. 883 ) says that Alfonso I of Asturias cut down the village of Briones and six other municipalities . Besides , the chronicle also mentions the famous expedition led by Alphonso I , king of Asturias all the way down the Ebro river in 740 . In that chronicle , these destroyed villages are mentioned : Mirandam ( now Miranda de Ebro ) , Revedencam , Carbonariam , Abeicam ( Ábalos , where the expedition crossed the Ebro river ) , Brunes ( this might be Briones but it is uncertain ) , Cinissariam ( now Cenicero ) and Alesanco . Briones was under Saracen control until the late 9th century , and it belonged to King Ordoño II of León since the beginnings of the 10th century . Briones also belonged to the Castilla County , which had been repopulated with Basques and was a frontier between Castilla and Navarra . After Sancho el de Peñalén was murdered the 4th of June 1076 , Alfonso VI took over La Rioja and Briones became part of the Haro 's Signiory . Fernando III named Don Diego López III de Haro , the monarch 's nephew , first Lord of Briones . In 1240 Don Diego López rebelled against Fernando III and found shelter in Briones . The king enclosed the town and made him prisoner . Since then , Briones belonged to the crown . On the 18 January 1256 , Alfonso X of Castile gave Briones the regional laws from Vitoria , as a guarantee of the Castillian repopulation . In 1293 Sancho IV gave Briones royal privilege . During the Basquisation in 1536 there were thirty Basque surnames in Briones . Demography ( edit ) On 1 January 2010 the population of the town was up to 867 inhabitants , 464 men and 403 women .

No No Buying , selling , and owning firearms ( edit ) Private sales ( edit ) In Oklahoma ( under state law ) , private sales of firearms are legal . However , knowingly selling a firearm to a person who can not legally purchase or possess the firearm ( such as a convicted felon or drug addict ) is illegal , and punishable by up to 180 days in jail . Under state law , you must be 18 to buy a firearm of any type from a private seller . Prohibited persons ( edit ) Felons , mentally ill persons , drug addicts , and certain juvenile offenders are prohibited from buying or owning firearms . You must be 18 years of age to possess or own firearms , with a few exceptions for special circumstances . When purchasing a firearm from a dealer , you must complete a federal background check . This process ( passing the background check ) usually only takes a few minutes , but the government has up to three days to complete the background check . After three days , the dealer has the right to proceed or deny the transfer . There is no limit to the number of firearms that a person may buy or own under state law . Minors and firearms ( edit ) Minors may own firearms that are given to them by their parents , relatives , or legal guardians . However , they may not generally possess firearms unsupervised until they are 18 years of age . There are exceptions to this rule , such as when a minor possessing a hunting license ( and having passed a hunter 's safety course ) is hunting , possession of firearm ( s ) on certain types of private property , and possession of firearm ( s ) in one 's own home . NFA firearms ( edit ) Owning or possessing a short - barreled shotgun or rifle is illegal and a felony under state law , unless the short barreled firearm is registered under the National Firearms Act . Owning or possessing a fully automatic firearm is not illegal under state law , but is still illegal under federal law unless the automatic firearm is registered under the National Firearms Act . Local and State authorities are not obligated to enforce federal firearms law or notify federal authorities of federal firearms law violations , however they may , or may not , choose to do so . Carrying firearms in public ( edit ) Carrying a handgun in public circumstances or on public land requires a valid handgun carry permit , issued by the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation . Individuals must pass an extensive background check , meet certain requirements , be at least 21 years of age , and pass a firearms handling and safety course to be issued a permit . Carrying on public buses was legalized on November 1 , 2017 . Restrictions on carrying handguns ( edit ) Individuals possessing handgun carry permits may not carry handguns of greater than . 45 caliber . Individuals with handgun carry permits may not carry in an establishment whose primary purpose is the serving of alcoholic beverages . Handgun carry permit holders may not consume alcoholic beverages while carrying . Doing so will result in revocation of carry permit and possible criminal charges . Carry with permit is allowed in an establishment that serves alcoholic beverages , ( such as a restaurant that serves alcoholic beverages ) as long as that is not the primary purpose of said establishment . Handgun carry permit holders can not carry into any sports arena during a professional sporting event , in an area or building where pari - mutuel wagering is authorized ( such as a casino ) , can not carry in schools nor in any government building . Handgun carry permit holders must have their license on their person while they are carrying . Penalties for carrying without permit ( edit ) Carrying a firearm in public , loaded or unloaded , without a permit is generally illegal and a misdemeanor under state law . Penalties for a first time offense are a maximum of 30 days in jail , confiscation of the firearm ( s ) illegally carried , and a $250 fine . Repeat offenses may be punished by up to 90 days in jail , with an increased fine . Handgun carry reciprocity ( edit ) Oklahoma recognizes and legally respects all and any out of state handgun carry permits , even if the issuing state does not recognize an Oklahoma carry permit . Oklahoma § 21 - 1290.26 . reads `` The State of Oklahoma hereby recognizes any valid concealed or unconcealed carry weapons permit or license issued by another state . Any person entering this state in possession of a firearm authorized for concealed or unconcealed carry upon the authority and license of another state is authorized to continue to carry a concealed or unconcealed firearm and license in this state ; provided the license from the other state remains valid . The firearm must either be carried unconcealed and in plain view or fully concealed from detection and view , and upon coming in contact with any peace officer of this state , the person must disclose the fact that he or she is in possession of a concealed or unconcealed firearm pursuant to a valid concealed or unconcealed carry weapons permit or license issued in another state . '' Transporting firearms ( edit ) Individuals with hunting licenses may open carry loaded long arms and handguns when hunting during hunting season . Outside of this and a few other limited exceptions , Open Carry of handguns in a public setting requires a valid carry permit . Carry of unloaded , cased firearms without a permit is allowed while on foot , just as it is allowed while traveling in a vehicle . Firearms that are not handguns , ( long arms ) carried by pedestrians generally must be both completely unloaded and cased . However , any person eligible to legally possess firearms may openly carry unloaded firearms that are not cased specifically `` When going to or from the person 's private residence or vehicle or a vehicle in which the person is riding as a passenger to a place designated or authorized for firearms repairs or reconditioning , or for firearms trade , sale , or barter , or gunsmith , or hunting animals or fowl , or hunter safety course , or target shooting , or skeet or trap shooting or any recognized firearms activity or event and while in such places '' . Only under these circumstances may individuals carry unloaded firearms publicly that are not cased . Generally , when carrying firearms in a motor vehicle , ( when traveling on public land or roads ) they must be out of reach of the driver , unloaded , and cased . Persons possessing a handgun carry license may carry a loaded handgun inside their vehicle on their person , just as they are permitted to do so on foot . Persons possessing a handgun carry license may transport a loaded handgun in a motor vehicle under their control , and store a loaded handgun in a locked , secure motor vehicle . They may also transport loaded magazines for both handguns and long guns , however , they can not legally transport loaded long guns . Firearms being improperly transported in any way may be immediately confiscated by police without compensation . Carry on private property ( edit ) Open or concealed carry of a firearm on privately owned land or inside a residence ( such as a backyard , in your own home , or a large farm ) is legal for persons 18 years and older who can legally possess firearms , and no permit is required . However , if a disturbance is caused , such carry could be construed as Disturbing the peace by law enforcement . Additionally , brandishing a firearm without good , legal cause ( such as self defense , defense of another , or lawful defense of property ) is illegal . Carrying a firearm on private property generally requires the consent / permission of the property owner . Prohibited places and authorized persons ( edit ) Carrying of any firearms or weapons in a government building or on school grounds is illegal and a felony , even if the citizen carrying possesses a concealed carry permit . The only exceptions to this law are for licensed government or security personnel , such as state police officers , agents of the federal government , and certain security guards . Security guards of at least 21 years of age may receive a license to possess firearms during the course of their official duties if they meet certain requirements . Security guards are not authorized to carry firearms outside of their official duties . Police officers and qualified retired police officers are allowed to carry a handgun when off - duty , however , they are subject to many of the same restrictions and conditions on carry as a private citizen with a handgun carry license when not performing their official duties . Parking lots are also exempt from prohibited places such as schools , public or private , government buildings , and colleges . Concealed carry on campus ( edit ) Concealed carry permit holders are not allowed to carry on college campuses . Doing so will usually result in serious criminal charges , and permanent permit revocation . There is an exception to this rule , but it is very specific , and rarely utilized . In order for a concealed carry permit holder to carry on a college campus in complete legality , they must obtain written permission from the president of the specific college where they wish to carry . The president may issue restrictions or conditions on the permission to carry on campus . Also , a physical copy of the written authorization must be carried by the permit holder while they are carrying concealed on campus . Very few , if any , concealed carry permit holders ever receive authorization to carry a concealed firearm on any college campus in the state , due to these restrictions . House Bill 1652 would allow licensed students , teachers and visitors to keep their guns in their locked vehicles on CareerTech campuses . HB 1652 alters current legislation , which outlaws weapons on CareerTech campuses . The legislation , by Rep. John Enns , passed the committee 11 - 4 on 3 March 2011 , and passed the full House by a vote of 84 - 14 on 17 February 2011 . The new law took effect on 1 November 2011 . http://www.oscn.net/applications/oscn/DeliverDocument.asp?CiteID=462332 Specific crimes with firearms ( edit ) Carrying a firearm while substantially intoxicated by alcohol or another drug is a gross misdemeanor , punishable by several weeks to months in jail and possibility of revocation . Carrying a firearm in a bar without a permit is a felony . Being in possession of a firearm or imitation firearm while committing a crime of violence is a felony , regardless of whether or not the firearm or imitation firearm is used in the commission of the said crime of violence . Intentionally discharging a firearm in the commission of a crime of violence is a felony . Carrying a firearm or dangerous weapon with the intent to commit a crime of violence is a felony . Intentionally discharging a firearm into , or at , any dwelling , or any building used for public or business purposes , is a felony , regardless of whether or not the dwelling or building is occupied . Intentionally pointing a firearm , loaded or unloaded , at a person , is a misdemeanor usually punished by several months in jail , and may be prosecuted as a felony , with additional penalties , if the purpose of such pointing was to cause fear , emotional distress , or to intimidate . Discharging a firearm within a municipality ( inside city limits ) is illegal , even if a firearm is discharged on private property . State - licensed or recognized shooting ranges are exempt from this law . It is unlawful for any person to `` engage in reckless conduct '' while possessing a firearm , if such actions create `` a situation of unreasonable risk and probability of death or great bodily harm to another '' and demonstrate `` a conscious disregard for the safety of another person '' . It is a felony to possess , use , attempt to use , carry , manufacture , cause to be manufactured , import , advertise for sale , or sell ammunition which has `` a core of less than sixty percent ( 60 % ) lead '' and also `` has a fluorocarbon coating , which is capable of penetrating body armor '' . The State of Oklahoma preempts almost all local regulation of firearms . Municipalities may not have any laws or ordinances pertaining to firearms that are more restrictive than state law . Right to keep and bear arms in state Constitution ( edit ) Section 26 of the bill of rights to the Constitution of the State of Oklahoma states , `` The right of a citizen to keep and bear arms in defense of his home , person , or property , or in aid of the civil power , when thereunto legally summoned , shall never be prohibited ; but nothing herein contained shall prevent the Legislature from regulating the carrying of weapons .

who wrote the tiger who came to tea
The tiger Who Came to Tea - wikipedia The tiger Who Came to Tea Jump to : navigation , search The Tiger Who Came to Tea <Td_colspan="2"> Front cover Author Judith Kerr Country UK Language English Published 1968 ( 1968 ) The Tiger Who Came to Tea is a short children 's story , first published in 1968 , written and illustrated by Judith Kerr . The book concerns a girl called Sophie , her mother , and an anthropomorphised tiger who interrupts their afternoon tea . The book remains extremely popular more than forty years after it was first published , and a theatrical adaptation of the story has been produced . The original artwork for the book is held by Seven Stories , a children 's literature centre in the UK . Contents ( hide ) 1 Plot 2 Inspiration 3 Foreign language editions 4 Theatre adaptation 5 See also 6 References 7 External links Plot ( edit ) A little girl named Sophie is having tea with her mother in their kitchen . Soon they are joined for tea by a tiger who drinks all the tea , eats all the food in the house and drinks everything , even draining the water from the taps . Then he leaves . Sophie 's father comes home and suggests that they all go out and have a lovely meal in a cafe . The following day Sophie and her mother go out to buy some more food , including a big tin of tiger food . But the tiger never returns . Inspiration ( edit ) Kerr spent her early years in Berlin just before the start of the Third Reich and her father was on a death list because of his opposition to the Nazis . Michael Rosen , also a children 's author , claims the tiger could be based on her memory of the past threat : something that could have disrupted her life as a young child and taken everything the family owned . Judith knows about dangerous people who come to your house and take people away . She was told as a young child that her father could be grabbed at any moment by either the Gestapo or the SS - he was in great danger . So I do n't know whether Judith did it consciously or not - I would n't want to go there - but the point is he 's a jokey tiger , but he is a tiger . ( Michael Rosen ) However , Kerr has stated more than once that the tiger represents nothing more than a tiger , and had nothing to do with the Nazis . Kerr first invented the story after visiting a zoo with her three - year - old daughter and told it many times before making it into a book . The book took a year to write and illustrate . The Tiger Who Came to Tea is one of the best selling children 's books of all time . Foreign language editions ( edit ) This book has been produced in Braille . It is also published in German with the title Ein Tiger kommt zum Tee . It has been adapted into Welsh , entitled Y Teigr a Ddaeth i De . In this version , the little girl is renamed Catrin . There is also a Japanese edition `` お ちゃ の じ かん に きた とら '' ( Ocha no Jikan ni Kita Tora ) . Theatre adaptation ( edit ) The book has been adapted for stage with music by David Wood . The original production featured the actors Devon Black , Alan Atkins and Abbey Norman .

Tom Lehrer - wikipedia Tom Lehrer Jump to : navigation , search <Th_colspan="2"> Tom Lehrer <Td_colspan="2"> Lehrer performing in 1960 <Th_colspan="2"> Background information Birth name Thomas Andrew Lehrer ( 1928 - 04 - 09 ) April 9 , 1928 ( age 89 ) New York City , New York , United States Genres Satire , comedy , science Occupation ( s ) singer - songwriter , satirist , mathematician Instruments Vocals , piano Years active 1945 -- 71 , 1980 , 1998 Labels Lehrer Records Reprise / Warner Bros. Records Rhino / Atlantic Records Shout ! Factory Associated acts Joe Raposo Thomas Andrew `` Tom '' Lehrer ( / ˈlɛrər / ; born April 9 , 1928 ) is a retired American musician , singer - songwriter , satirist , and mathematician . He has lectured on mathematics and musical theater . He is best known for the pithy , humorous songs he recorded in the 1950s and 1960s . His work often parodies popular song forms , though he usually creates original melodies when doing so . A notable exception is `` The Elements '' , where he sets the names of the chemical elements to the tune of the Major - General 's song from Gilbert and Sullivan 's Pirates of Penzance . Lehrer 's early work typically dealt with non-topical subject matter and was noted for its black humor in songs such as `` Poisoning Pigeons in the Park '' . In the 1960s , he produced a number of songs dealing with social and political issues of the day , particularly when he wrote for the U.S. version of the television show That Was the Week That Was . Despite their topical subjects and references , the popularity of these songs has endured ; Lehrer quoted a friend 's explanation : `` Always predict the worst and you 'll be hailed as a prophet . '' In the early 1970s , he mostly retired from public performances to devote his time to teaching mathematics and music theatre at the University of California , Santa Cruz .

Although he was raised Jewish , Lehrer became an agnostic . He began studying classical piano at the age of seven , but was more interested in the popular music of the age . Eventually , his mother also sent him to a popular - music piano teacher . At this early age , he began writing show tunes , which eventually helped him as a satirical composer and writer in his years of lecturing at Harvard University noting the influence one of his professors Irving Kaplansky , and later at other universities . Lehrer attended the Horace Mann School in Riverdale , New York . He also attended Camp Androscoggin , both as a camper and a counselor . Lehrer was considered a child prodigy and entered Harvard College at the age of 15 after graduating from Loomis Chaffee School . As a mathematics undergraduate student at Harvard College , he began to write comic songs to entertain his friends , including `` Fight Fiercely , Harvard '' ( 1945 ) . Those songs were later named The Physical Revue , a joking reference to a leading scientific journal , The Physical Review . Academic and military career ( edit ) Lehrer earned his Bachelor of Arts in mathematics ( magna cum laude ) from Harvard University in 1946 . He received his MA degree the next year , and was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa . He taught classes at MIT , Harvard , Wellesley , and the University of California , Santa Cruz . He remained in Harvard 's doctoral program for several years , taking time out for his musical career and to work as a researcher at the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory . He was drafted into the U.S. Army from 1955 to 1957 , working at the National Security Agency . ( Lehrer has stated that he invented the Jell - O Shot during this time , as a means of circumventing liquor restrictions . ) These experiences became fodder for songs , e.g. , `` Fight Fiercely , Harvard '' , `` The Wild West Is Where I Want to Be '' and `` It Makes a Fellow Proud to Be a Soldier '' . Despite holding a master 's degree in an era when American conscripts often lacked a high school diploma , Lehrer served as an enlisted soldier , achieving the rank of Specialist Third Class ( later retitled `` Specialist - 4 '' and currently `` Specialist '' ) , which he described as being a `` corporal without portfolio . '' In 1960 , Lehrer returned to full - time studies at Harvard , but in 1965 gave up on his mathematical dissertation about the subject of modes in statistics , after working on it intermittently for 15 years . From 1962 , he taught in the political science department at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology ( MIT ) . In 1972 , he joined the faculty of the University of California , Santa Cruz , teaching an introductory course entitled `` The Nature of Mathematics '' to liberal arts majors -- `` Math for Tenors '' , according to Lehrer . He also taught a class in musical theater . He occasionally performed songs in his lectures , primarily those relating to the topic . In 2001 , Lehrer taught his last mathematics class ( on the topic of infinity ) and retired from academia . He has remained in the area , and in 2003 said he still `` hangs out '' around the University of California , Santa Cruz . Mathematical publications ( edit ) The American Mathematical Society database lists him as co-author of two papers : R.E. Fagen ; T.A. Lehrer ( March 1958 ) . `` Random walks with restraining barrier as applied to the biased binary counter '' . Journal of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics. 6 ( 1 ) : 1 -- 14 . JSTOR 2098858 . MR 0094856 . T. Austin ; R. Fagen ; T. Lehrer ; W. Penney ( 1957 ) . `` The distribution of the number of locally maximal elements in a random sample '' . Annals of Mathematical Statistics . 28 ( 3 ) : 786 -- 790 . MR 0091251 . Musical career ( edit ) Lehrer was mainly influenced by musical theater . According to Gerald Nachman 's book Seriously Funny , the Broadway musical Let 's Face It ! ( by Cole Porter ) made an early and lasting impression on him . Lehrer 's style consists of parodying various forms of popular song . For example , his appreciation of list songs led him to write `` The Elements '' , which lists the chemical elements to the tune of Gilbert and Sullivan 's `` Major - General 's Song '' . Author Isaac Asimov recounted in his second autobiographical volume In Joy Still Felt seeing Lehrer perform in a Boston nightclub on October 9 , 1954 , during which he sang very cleverly about Jim getting it from Louise , and Sally from Jim , `` and after a while you gathered the ' it ' to be venereal disease ( the song was likely `` I Got It From Sally ( in later versions ' Agnes ' ) '' ) . Suddenly , as the combinations grew more grotesque , you realized he was satirizing every perversion known to mankind without using a single naughty phrase . It was clearly unsingable ( in those days ) outside a nightclub . '' Asimov also recalled a song that dealt with the Boston subway system , making use of the stations leading into town from Harvard , observing that the local subject - matter rendered the song useless for general distribution . Lehrer subsequently granted Asimov permission to print the lyrics to the subway song in his book . `` I have n't gone to nightclubs often , '' said Asimov , `` but of all the times I have gone , it was on this occasion that I had by far the best time . '' In 1953 , inspired by the success of his performances , Lehrer paid $15 for some studio time to record Songs by Tom Lehrer . The initial pressing was 400 copies . At the time , radio stations would not give Lehrer air time because of his controversial subjects . He sold his album on campus at Harvard for $3 ( equivalent to $27.00 today ) , while `` several stores near the Harvard campus sold it for $3.50 , taking only a minimal markup as a kind of community service . Newsstands on campus sold it for the same price . '' After one summer , he started to receive mail orders from all parts of the country ( as far away as San Francisco , after The Chronicle wrote an article on the record ) . Interest in his recordings was spread by word of mouth ; friends and supporters brought their records home and played them for their friends , who then also wanted a copy . Lehrer later recalled , `` Lacking exposure in the media , my songs spread slowly . Like herpes , rather than ebola . '' The album -- which included the macabre `` I Hold Your Hand in Mine '' , the mildly risqué `` Be Prepared '' , and `` Lobachevsky '' ( regarding plagiarizing mathematicians ) -- became a cult success via word of mouth , despite being self - published and without promotion . Lehrer embarked on a series of concert tours and in 1959 recorded a second album , which was released in two versions : the songs were the same , but More of Tom Lehrer was studio - recorded while An Evening Wasted with Tom Lehrer was recorded live in concert . In 2013 , Lehrer recalled the studio sessions : `` The copyist arrived at the last minute with the parts and passed them out to the band ... And there was no title on it , and there was no lyrics . And so they ran through it , ' what a pleasant little waltz ' ... And the engineer said , ' '' Poisoning Pigeons in the Park , ' take one , '' and the piano player said , ' `` What ? '' ' and literally fell off the stool . '' Lehrer 's major breakthrough in the United Kingdom came with the doctor of music honoris causa , which the University of London conferred to Princess Margaret on 4 December 1957 `` in the full knowledge '' , as the public orator Professor J.R. Sutherland stated , `` that the Princess is a connoisseur of music and a performer of skill and distinction , her taste being catholic , ranging from Mozart to the calypso and from opera to the songs of Miss Beatrice Lillie and Tom Lehrer. `` This prompted significant interest in Lehrer 's works and helped secure distributors for his material in the UK . It was there that his music achieved real popularity , as a result of the proliferation of university newspapers referring to the material , and the willingness of the BBC to play his songs on the radio ( something that was a rarity in the United States ) . By the end of the 1950s , Lehrer had sold 370,000 records . In 1960 , Lehrer essentially retired from touring in the US . In the early 1960s , he was employed as the resident songwriter for the U.S. edition of That Was The Week That Was ( TW3 ) , a satirical television show . An increased proportion of his output became overtly political , or at least topical , on subjects such as education ( `` New Math '' ) , the Second Vatican Council ( `` The Vatican Rag '' , the tune which has been claimed to be based on the 1910 song the Spaghetti Rag ) , race relations ( `` National Brotherhood Week '' ) , air and water pollution ( `` Pollution '' ) , American militarism ( `` Send the Marines '' ) , World War III `` pre-nostalgia '' ( `` So Long , Mom '' , premiered by Steve Allen ) , and nuclear proliferation ( `` Who 's Next ? '' and `` MLF Lullaby '' ) . He also wrote a song that famously satirized the alleged amorality of rocket scientist Wernher von Braun , who worked for Nazi Germany before working for the United States . ( `` ' Once the rockets are up , who cares where they come down ? That 's not my department , ' says Wernher von Braun . '' ) Lehrer did not appear on the television show ; his songs were performed by a female vocalist , Nancy Ames , and his lyrics were often altered by the network censors . Lehrer later performed the songs on the album That Was The Year That Was ( 1965 ) , so that , in his words , people could hear the songs the way they were intended to be heard . In 1966 , for David Frost 's further BBC television programme The Frost Report Lehrer was invited to contribute some of his classic compositions . The Frost Report was transmitted live , and he pre-recorded all his segments at one performance . Though Lehrer was not featured in every edition , they were slotted in at an appropriate part of each show . At least two of his offerings were songs not included on any of his LPs : a reworking of Noël Coward 's `` That is the End of the News '' ( with some new lyrics ) and a comic explanation of how Britain might adapt to the coming of decimal currency . During the spring of 1960 , Lehrer toured Australia and New Zealand , performing a total of 33 concerts `` to great acclaim '' . Yet this occurred during a time in which he was `` banned , censored , mentioned in several houses of parliament and threatened with arrest '' , after which he quipped that it was `` the highlight of his life '' . In particular , `` Be Prepared '' drew advance brickbats in Brisbane from the chief of police , which he sang anyway , prompting wrath in Adelaide where he signed a petition that he would n't sing five songs in that territory . Nonetheless , Lehrer debuted several unreleased songs in Australia including `` The Masochism Tango '' which could n't yet be banned . In 1967 , Lehrer was persuaded to make a short tour in Norway and Denmark , where he performed some of the songs from the television program . The performance in Oslo , Norway , on September 10 was recorded on video tape and aired locally later that autumn ; this program was released on DVD some 40 years later . On that tour , a concert at the `` Studenterforeningen '' ( student association ) in Copenhagen , Denmark , where a prominent international guest was invited annually , was also televised ; Lehrer commented onstage that he might be America 's `` revenge for Victor Borge . '' In the summer of 1967 , Lehrer composed and performed on piano original songs in a Dodge automobile `` industrial '' film that was distributed primarily to automobile dealers and shown at promotional events . Set in a fictional American wild west town , the full title is The Dodge Rebellion Theatre presents Ballads For ' 67 . Working with Joe Raposo , Lehrer attempted to adapt Sweeney Todd as a Broadway musical to star Jerry Colonna . Although a few songs were started , Lehrer noted that `` Nothing ever came of it , and of course twenty years later Stephen Sondheim beat me to the punch . '' The record deal with Reprise Records for the That Was The Year That Was album also gave Reprise distribution rights for his earlier recordings , as Lehrer wanted to wind up his own record imprint . The Reprise issue of Songs by Tom Lehrer was a stereo re-recording . This version was not issued on CD , but the songs were issued on the live Tom Lehrer Revisited CD . The ( live ) recording included bonus tracks `` L-Y '' and `` Silent E '' , two of the ten songs that Lehrer wrote for the PBS children 's educational series The Electric Company . Lehrer later commented that worldwide sales of the recordings under Reprise surpassed 1.8 million units in 1996 . That same year , the album That Was The Year That Was went gold . The album liner notes ( and Lehrer himself in one routine ) promote his songs with self - deprecating humor . ( `` I know it 's very bad form to quote one 's own reviews , but there is something the New York Times said about me ( in 1958 ) , that I have always treasured : ' Mr. Lehrer 's muse ( is ) not fettered by such inhibiting factors as taste . '' ) Departure from the music scene ( edit ) In the 1970s , Lehrer concentrated on teaching mathematics and musical theater , although he also wrote ten songs for the educational children 's television show The Electric Company . His last public performance took place in 1972 , on a fundraising tour for Democratic US presidential candidate George McGovern . There is an urban legend that Lehrer gave up political satire when the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Henry Kissinger in 1973 . He did comment that awarding the prize to Kissinger made political satire obsolete , but has denied that he stopped creating satire as a form of protest , asserting that he had stopped several years prior . Another mistaken belief is that he was sued for libel by Wernher von Braun , the subject of one of his songs , and forced to relinquish his royalties to von Braun . Lehrer denied this in a 2003 interview . When asked about his reasons for abandoning his musical career in an interview in the book accompanying his CD box set ( released in 2000 ) , he cited a simple lack of interest , a distaste for touring , and boredom with performing the same songs repeatedly . He observed that when he was moved to write and perform songs , he did , and when he was not , he did not , and that after a while he simply lost interest . Although Lehrer was `` a hero of the anti-nuclear , civil rights left '' , covering its political issues in many of his songs , and even though he shared the New Left 's opposition to the Vietnam war , he disliked the aesthetics of 1960s counterculture and stopped performing as the movement gained momentum . Lehrer 's musical career was brief ; he pointed out that he had performed a mere 109 shows and written 37 songs over 20 years . Nevertheless , he developed a significant following in the United States and abroad . Revivals and discographic Reissues ( edit ) In 1980 Tom Foolery , a revue of his songs created and produced by Cameron Mackintosh , was a hit on the London stage . Although not its instigator , Lehrer eventually gave the stage production his full support and updated several of his lyrics for the show ( such as `` Who 's Next '' , in which Neiman - Marcus ( or in the San Francisco production , J.C. Penney ) , not Alabama , gets the bomb ) . Tom Foolery contained 27 songs and led to more than 200 productions , including an Off - Broadway production at the Village Gate , which ran for 120 performances in 1981 . In conjunction with the Tom Foolery premiere in 1980 at the Criterion Theatre in London , Lehrer made a rare TV appearance on BBC 's Parkinson show , where he sang `` I Got It from Agnes '' . In 1993 , Lehrer wrote `` That 's Mathematics '' for the closing credits to a Mathematical Sciences Research Institute video celebrating the proof of Fermat 's Last Theorem . On June 7 and 8 , 1998 , Lehrer performed in public for the first time in 25 years at the Lyceum Theatre , London as part of the gala show Hey , Mr. Producer ! celebrating the career of impresario Cameron Mackintosh , who had been the producer of Tom Foolery . The June 8 show was his only performance to date before Queen Elizabeth II . Lehrer sang `` Poisoning Pigeons in the Park '' and an updated version of the nuclear proliferation song `` Who 's Next ? '' The DVD of the event includes the former song . In 2000 a boxed set of CDs , The Remains of Tom Lehrer , was released by Rhino Entertainment . It included live and studio versions of his first two albums , That Was The Year That Was , the songs he wrote for The Electric Company , and some previously unreleased material . It was accompanied by a small hardbound book containing an introduction by Dr. Demento and lyrics for all the songs . In 2010 , Shout ! Factory launched a reissue campaign , making his long out - of - press albums available digitally . They also issued a CD / DVD combo called The Tom Lehrer Collection , which includes his best - loved songs , plus a DVD featuring an Oslo concert . Musical legacy ( edit ) Sardonic composer Randy Newman said of Lehrer , `` He 's one of the great American songwriters without a doubt , right up there with everybody , the top guys . As a lyricist , as good as there 's been in the last half of the 20th century . '' Singer and comedian Dillie Keane has acknowledged Lehrer 's influence on her work . Lehrer was praised by Dr. Demento as `` the best musical satirist of the twentieth century . '' Other artists who cite Lehrer as an influence include `` Weird Al '' Yankovic , whose work generally addresses more popular and less technical or political subjects , and educator and scientist H. Paul Shuch , who tours under the stage name Dr. SETI and calls himself `` a cross between Carl Sagan and Tom Lehrer : he sings like Sagan and lectures like Lehrer . '' Lehrer has commented that he doubts his songs had any real effect on those not already critical of the establishment : `` I do n't think this kind of thing has an impact on the unconverted , frankly . It 's not even preaching to the converted ; it 's titillating the converted ... I 'm fond of quoting Peter Cook , who talked about the satirical Berlin kabaretts of the 1930s , which did so much to stop the rise of Hitler and prevent the Second World War . '' In 2003 he commented that his particular brand of political satire is more difficult in the modern world : `` The real issues I do n't think most people touch . The Clinton jokes are all about Monica Lewinsky and all that stuff and not about the important things , like the fact that he would n't ban land mines ... I 'm not tempted to write a song about George W. Bush . I could n't figure out what sort of song I would write . That 's the problem : I do n't want to satirise George Bush and his puppeteers , I want to vaporize them . '' Gene Weingarten of the Washington Post interviewed Lehrer off the record in a February 2008 phone call . When Weingarten asked if there was anything he could print for the record , Lehrer responded , `` Just tell the people that I am voting for Obama . '' The play Letters from Lehrer by Canadian Richard Greenblatt was performed by him at CanStage in Toronto , from January 16 to February 25 , 2006 . It followed Lehrer 's musical career , the meaning of several songs , the politics of the time , and Greenblatt 's own experiences with Lehrer 's music , while playing some of Lehrer 's songs . There are currently no plans for more performances , although low - quality audio recordings have been on the internet . Stylistically influenced performers include American political satirist Mark Russell , Canadian comedian and songwriter Randy Vancourt and the British duo Kit and The Widow . British medical satirists Amateur Transplants acknowledge the debt they owe to Lehrer on the back of their first album , Fitness to Practice . Their songs `` The Menstrual Rag '' and `` The Drugs Song '' are to the tunes of Lehrer 's `` The Vatican Rag '' and `` The Elements '' ( the tune of the `` Major - General 's Song '' from The Pirates of Penzance by Gilbert and Sullivan ) respectively . Their second album , Unfit to Practise , opens with an update of Lehrer 's `` The Masochism Tango '' and is called `` Masochism Tango 2008 '' . In 1967 , Swedish actor Lars Ekborg , outside Sweden most known for his part in Ingmar Bergman 's `` Summer with Monika '' made an album called `` I Tom Lehrers vackra värld '' ( `` In the beautiful world of Tom Lehrer '' ) , with 12 of Lehrer 's songs interpreted in Swedish . Lehrer wrote in a letter to the producer Per -- Anders Boquist that `` not knowing any Swedish , I am obviously not equipped to judge , but it sounds to me as though Mr Ekborg is perfect for the songs '' , along with further compliments to pianist Leif Asp for unexpected additional flourishes . In 1971 , Argentinian singer Nacha Guevara sang Spanish versions of several Lehrer 's songs for the show / live album `` Este es el año que es '' . Lehrer 's song `` The Old Dope Peddler '' is sampled in rapper 2 Chainz 's song `` Dope Peddler '' , on his 2012 debut album , Based on a T.R.U. Story . The following year , Lehrer said he was `` very proud '' to have his song sampled `` literally sixty years after I recorded it . '' Lehrer went on to describe his official response to the request to use his song : `` As sole copyright owner of ' The Old Dope Peddler , ' I grant you motherfuckers permission to do this . Please give my regards to Mr. Chainz , or may I call him 2 ? '' Lehrer has said of his musical career , `` If , after hearing my songs , just one human being is inspired to say something nasty to a friend , or perhaps to strike a loved one , it will all have been worth the while .

In many systems , the prime minister selects and may dismiss other members of the cabinet , and allocates posts to members within the government . In most systems , the prime minister is the presiding member and chairman of the cabinet . In a minority of systems , notably in semi-presidential systems of government , a prime minister is the official who is appointed to manage the civil service and execute the directives of the head of state . In parliamentary systems fashioned after the Westminster system , the prime minister is the presiding and actual head of government and head of the executive branch . In such systems , the head of state or the head of state 's official representative ( often the monarch , president , or governor - general ) usually holds a largely ceremonial position , although often with reserve powers . The prime minister is often , but not always , a member of the Legislature or the Lower House thereof and is expected with other ministers to ensure the passage of bills through the legislature . In some monarchies the monarch may also exercise executive powers ( known as the royal prerogative ) that are constitutionally vested in the crown and may be exercised without the approval of parliament . As well as being head of government , a prime minister may have other roles or posts -- the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom , for example , is also First Lord of the Treasury and Minister for the Civil Service . Prime ministers may take other ministerial posts . For example , during the Second World War , Winston Churchill was also Minister of Defence ( although there was then no Ministry of Defence ) and in the current cabinet of Israel , Benjamin Netanyahu also serves as Minister of Communications , Foreign Affairs , Regional Cooperation , Economy and Interior .

The title was however informal and used alongside the equally informal principal ministre d'État ( `` chief minister of the state '' ) more as a job description . After 1661 , Louis XIV and his descendants refused to allow one of their ministers to be more important than the others , so the term was not in use . The term prime minister in the sense that we know it originated in the 18th century in the United Kingdom when members of parliament disparagingly used the title in reference to Sir Robert Walpole . During the whole of the 18th Century , Britain was involved in a prolonged conflict with France , periodically bursting into all - out war , and Britons took outspoken pride in their `` Liberty '' as contrasted to the `` Tyranny '' of French Absolute Monarchy ; therefore , being implicitly compared with Richelieu was no compliment to Walpole . Over time , however , the title became honorific and remains so in the 21st century . History ( edit ) See also : History of Parliamentarism Origins ( edit ) Further information : Chief Minister of England and Chief minister of France The monarchs of England and the United Kingdom had ministers in whom they placed special trust and who were regarded as the head of the government . Examples were Thomas Cromwell under Henry VIII ; William Cecil , Lord Burghley under Elizabeth I ; Clarendon under Charles II and Godolphin under Queen Anne . These ministers held a variety of formal posts , but were commonly known as `` the minister '' , the `` chief minister '' , the `` first minister '' and finally the `` prime minister '' . The power of these ministers depended entirely on the personal favour of the monarch . Although managing the parliament was among the necessary skills of holding high office , they did not depend on a parliamentary majority for their power . Although there was a cabinet , it was appointed entirely by the monarch , and the monarch usually presided over its meetings . When the monarch grew tired of a first minister , he or she could be dismissed , or worse : Cromwell was executed and Clarendon driven into exile when they lost favour . Kings sometimes divided power equally between two or more ministers to prevent one minister from becoming too powerful . Late in Anne 's reign , for example , the Tory ministers Harley and Viscount Bolingbroke shared power . Development ( edit ) The prime ministers of five members of the Commonwealth of Nations at the 1944 Commonwealth Prime Ministers ' Conference . In the mid 17th century , after the English Civil War ( 1642 -- 1651 ) , Parliament strengthened its position relative to the monarch then gained more power through the Glorious Revolution of 1688 and passage of the Bill of Rights in 1689 . The monarch could no longer establish any law or impose any tax without its permission and thus the House of Commons became a part of the government . It is at this point that a modern style of prime minister begins to emerge . A tipping point in the evolution of the prime ministership came with the death of Anne in 1714 and the accession of George I to the throne . George spoke no English , spent much of his time at his home in Hanover , and had neither knowledge of , nor interest in , the details of English government . In these circumstances it was inevitable that the king 's first minister would become the de facto head of the government . From 1721 this was the Whig politician Robert Walpole , who held office for twenty - one years . Walpole chaired cabinet meetings , appointed all the other ministers , dispensed the royal patronage and packed the House of Commons with his supporters . Under Walpole , the doctrine of cabinet solidarity developed . Walpole required that no minister other than himself have private dealings with the king , and also that when the cabinet had agreed on a policy , all ministers must defend it in public , or resign . As a later prime minister , Lord Melbourne , said , `` It matters not what we say , gentlemen , so long as we all say the same thing . '' Walpole always denied that he was `` prime minister '' , and throughout the 18th century parliamentarians and legal scholars continued to deny that any such position was known to the Constitution . George II and George III made strenuous efforts to reclaim the personal power of the monarch , but the increasing complexity and expense of government meant that a minister who could command the loyalty of the Commons was increasingly necessary . The long tenure of the wartime prime minister William Pitt the Younger ( 1783 -- 1801 ) , combined with the mental illness of George III , consolidated the power of the post . The title was first referred to on government documents during the administration of Benjamin Disraeli but did not appear in the formal British Order of precedence until 1905 . The prestige of British institutions in the 19th century and the growth of the British Empire saw the British model of cabinet government , headed by a prime minister , widely copied , both in other European countries and in British colonial territories as they developed self - government . In some places alternative titles such as `` premier '' , `` chief minister '' , `` first minister of state '' , `` president of the council '' or `` chancellor '' were adopted , but the essentials of the office were the same . Modern usage ( edit ) By the late 20th century , the majority of the world 's countries had a prime minister or equivalent minister , holding office under either a constitutional monarchy or a ceremonial president . The main exceptions to this system have been the United States and the presidential republics in Latin America modelled on the U.S. system , in which the president directly exercises executive authority . Bahrain 's prime minister , Sheikh Khalifah bin Sulman Al Khalifah has been in the post since 1970 , making him the longest serving non-elected prime minister . In republics and in monarchies ( edit ) The post of prime minister may be encountered both in constitutional monarchies ( such as Belgium , Denmark , Japan , Luxembourg , the Netherlands , Norway , Malaysia , Morocco , Spain , Sweden , Thailand , Canada , Australia , New Zealand , and the United Kingdom ) , and in parliamentary republics in which the head of state is an elected official ( such as Finland , the Czech Republic , France , Greece , Hungary , India , Indonesia ( 1945 - 1959 ) , Ireland , Pakistan , Portugal , Montenegro , Croatia , Bulgaria , Romania , Serbia and Turkey ) . See also `` First Minister '' , `` Premier '' , `` Chief Minister '' , `` Chancellor '' , `` Taoiseach '' , `` Statsminister '' and `` Secretary of State '' : alternative titles usually equivalent in meaning to , or translated as , `` prime minister '' . This contrasts with the presidential system , in which the president ( or equivalent ) is both the head of state and the head of the government . In some presidential and all semi-presidential systems , such as those of France , Russia or South Korea , the prime minister is an official generally appointed by the president but usually approved by the legislature and responsible for carrying out the directives of the president and managing the civil service . The head of government of the People 's Republic of China is referred to as the Premier of the State Council and the premier of the Republic of China ( Taiwan ) is also appointed by the president , but requires no approval by the legislature . Appointment of the prime minister of France requires no approval by the parliament either , but the parliament may force the resignation of the government . In these systems , it is possible for the president and the prime minister to be from different political parties if the legislature is controlled by a party different from that of the president . When it arises , such a state of affairs is usually referred to as ( political ) cohabitation . Entry into office ( edit ) In parliamentary systems a prime minister may enter into office by several means . The head of state appoints a prime minister , of their personal choice : Example : France , where the President has the power to appoint the Prime Minister of their choice , though the National Assembly can force a government to resign , they can not nominate or appoint a new candidate . While in practice most prime ministers under the Westminster system ( including Australia , Canada , New Zealand , Malaysia , India and the United Kingdom ) are the leaders of the largest party or coalition in parliament , technically the appointment of the prime minister is a prerogative exercised by the head of state . The head of state appoints a prime minister who has a set timescale within which they must gain a vote of confidence : Example : Italy , Romania , Thailand The head of state appoints a prime minister from among the members of Parliament , who then has a set timescale within which they must form a cabinet , and receive the confidence of Parliament after presenting the Cabinet Composition and Legislative Program to Parliament : Example : Israel The head of state appoints the leader of the political party with the majority of the seats in the Parliament as Prime Minister , if no party has a majority then the leader of the party with a plurality of seats is given an exploratory mandate to receive the confidence of the parliament within three days , if this is not possible then the leader of the party with the second highest seat number is given the exploratory mandate , if this fails then the leader of the third largest party is given it and so on : Example : Greece , see Prime Minister of Greece The head of state nominates a candidate for prime minister who is then submitted to parliament for approval before appointment as prime minister : Example : Spain , where the King sends a nomination to parliament for approval . Also Germany where under the German Basic Law ( constitution ) the Bundestag votes on a candidate nominated by the federal president . In the Philippines under the 1973 Constitution as amended after martial law , the Prime Minister was elected by the Batasang Pambansâ ( Legislature ) upon nomination by the President . In these cases , parliament can choose another candidate who then would be appointed by the head of state ( or , in the case of the Philippines , outright elect that candidate ) . Parliament nominates a candidate who the head of state is then constitutionally obliged to appoint as prime minister : Example : Ireland , where the President appoints the Taoiseach on the nomination of Dáil Éireann . Also Japan . Election by the Legislature : Example : The Philippines under the unamended 1973 Constitution , where the prime minister was supposed to be elected by the Batasang Pambansâ ; these provisions were never used because the Philippines was under martial law at the time . Also Vanuatu . Direct election by popular vote : Example : Israel , 1996 -- 2001 , where the prime minister was elected in a general election , with no regard to political affiliation . Nomination by a state office holder other than the head of state or his / her representative : Example : Under the modern Swedish Instrument of Government , the power to appoint someone to form a government has been moved from the monarch to the Speaker of Parliament and the parliament itself . The speaker nominates a candidate , who is then elected to prime minister ( statsminister ) by the parliament if an absolute majority of the members of parliament does not vote no ( i.e. he can be elected even if more MP :s vote no than yes ) . Constitutional basis for the position in countries ( edit ) John A. Macdonald ( 1815 -- 1891 ) , first Canadian prime minister . The position , power and status of prime ministers differ depending on the age of the constitution . Australia 's constitution makes no mention of a Prime Minister of Australia and the office only exists by convention , based on the British model . Bangladesh 's constitution clearly outlines the functions and powers of the Prime Minister , and also details the process of his / her appointment and dismissal . The People 's Republic of China constitution set a premier just one place below the National People 's Congress in China . Premier read as ( Simplified Chinese : 总理 ; pinyin : Zŏnglĭ ) in Chinese . Canada 's constitution , being a ' mixed ' or hybrid constitution ( a constitution that is partly formally codified and partly uncodified ) originally did not make any reference whatsoever to a prime minister , with her or his specific duties and method of appointment instead dictated by `` convention '' . In the Constitution Act , 1982 , passing reference to a `` Prime Minister of Canada '' is added , though only regarding the composition of conferences of federal and provincial first ministers . Czech Republic 's constitution clearly outlines the functions and powers of the Prime Minister of the Czech Republic , and also details the process of his / her appointment and dismissal . France 's constitution ( 1958 ) lists the powers , functions and duties of the Prime Minister of France . Germany 's Basic Law ( 1949 ) lists the powers , functions and duties of the federal chancellor . Greece 's constitution ( 1975 ) lists the powers , functions and duties of the Prime Minister of Greece . Hungary 's constitution ( 2012 ) lists the powers , functions and duties of the Prime Minister of Hungary . India 's constitution ( 1950 ) lists the powers , functions and duties of the Prime Minister of India . In India , the Prime Ministerial candidate must be a member of parliament either Lok Sabha ( Lower House ) or Rajya Sabha ( Upper House ) . No parliamentary vote takes place on who is forming a government . Ireland 's constitution ( 1937 ) , provides for the office of Taoiseach in detail , listing powers , functions and duties . Italy 's constitution ( 1948 ) lists the powers , functions and duties of the President of the Council of Ministers . Japan 's constitution ( 1946 ) lists the powers , functions and duties of the Prime Minister of Japan . The Republic of Korea 's constitution ( 1987 ) sections 86 - 87 list the powers , functions and duties of the Prime Minister of the Republic of Korea . Malta 's constitution ( 1964 ) lists the powers , functions and duties of the Prime Minister of Malta . Malaysia 's constitution ( 1957 ) lists the powers , functions and duties of the Prime Minister of Malaysia . Norway 's constitution ( 1814 ) lists the powers , functions and duties of the Prime Minister of Norway Pakistan 's constitution ( 1973 ) lists the powers , functions and duties of the Prime Minister of Pakistan . Spain 's constitution ( 1978 ) regulates the appointment , dismissal , powers , functions and duties of the President of the Government . Thailand 's constitution ( 1932 ) lists the powers , functions and duties of the Prime Minister of Thailand . Taiwan 's constitution ( 1946 ) lists the powers , functions and duties of the President of the Executive Yuan . The United Kingdom 's constitution , being uncodified and largely unwritten , makes no mention of a prime minister . Though it had de facto existed for centuries , its first mention in official state documents did not occur until the first decade of the twentieth century . Accordingly , it is often said `` not to exist '' , indeed there are several instances of parliament declaring this to be the case . The prime minister sits in the cabinet solely by virtue of occupying another office , either First Lord of the Treasury ( office in commission ) , or more rarely Chancellor of the Exchequer ( the last of whom was Balfour in 1905 ) . : However as the government will have to outline its legislative programme to parliament in , for example , the Speech from the Throne , the speech is sometimes used to test parliamentary support . A defeat of the Speech is taken to mean a loss of confidence and so requires either a new draft , resignation , or a request for a dissolution of parliament . Until the early 20th century governments when defeated in a general election remained in power until their Speech from the Throne was defeated and then resigned . No government has done so for one hundred years , though Edward Heath in 1974 did delay his resignation while he explored whether he could form a government with Liberal party support . In such systems unwritten ( and unenforceable ) constitutional conventions often outline the order in which people are asked to form a government . If the prime minister resigns after a general election , the monarch usually asks the leader of the opposition to form a government . Where however a resignation occurs during a parliament session ( unless the government has itself collapsed ) the monarch will ask another member of the government to form a government . While previously the monarch had some leeway in whom to ask , all British political parties now elect their leaders ( until 1965 the Conservatives chose their leader by informal consultation ) . The last time the monarch had a choice over the appointment occurred in 1963 when the Earl of Home was asked to become Prime Minister ahead of Rab Butler . During the period between the time it is clear that the incumbent government has been defeated at a general election , and the actual swearing - in of the new prime minister by the monarch , governor - general , or president , that person is referred to as the `` prime minister - elect '' or `` prime minister - designate '' . Neither term is strictly correct from a constitutional point of view , but they have wide acceptance . In a situation in which a ruling party elects or appoints a new leader , the incoming leader will usually be referred as `` prime minister - in - waiting '' . An example or this situation was in 2016 in the United Kingdom when Theresa May was elected leader of the Conservative Party while David Cameron was still prime minister . Ukraine 's constitution ( 1996 ) lists the powers , functions and duties of the Prime Minister of Ukraine . Exit from office ( edit ) Most prime ministers in parliamentary systems are not appointed for a specific term in office and in effect may remain in power through a number of elections and parliaments . For example , Margaret Thatcher was only ever appointed prime minister on one occasion , in 1979 . She remained continuously in power until 1990 , though she used the assembly of each House of Commons after a general election to reshuffle her cabinet . Some states , however , do have a term of office of the prime minister linked to the period in office of the parliament . Hence the Irish Taoiseach is formally ' renominated ' after every general election . ( Some constitutional experts have questioned whether this process is actually in keeping with the provisions of the Irish constitution , which appear to suggest that a taoiseach should remain in office , without the requirement of a renomination , unless s / he has clearly lost the general election . ) The position of prime minister is normally chosen from the political party that commands majority of seats in the lower house of parliament . In parliamentary systems , governments are generally required to have the confidence of the lower house of parliament ( though a small minority of parliaments , by giving a right to block supply to upper houses , in effect make the cabinet responsible to both houses , though in reality upper houses , even when they have the power , rarely exercise it ) . Where they lose a vote of confidence , have a motion of no confidence passed against them , or where they lose supply , most constitutional systems require either : a letter of resignation or a request for parliamentary dissolution . The latter in effect allows the government to appeal the opposition of parliament to the electorate . However , in many jurisdictions a head of state may refuse a parliamentary dissolution , requiring the resignation of the prime minister and his or her government . In most modern parliamentary systems , the prime minister is the person who decides when to request a parliamentary dissolution . Older constitutions often vest this power in the cabinet . In the United Kingdom , for example , the tradition whereby it is the prime minister who requests a dissolution of parliament dates back to 1918 . Prior to then , it was the entire government that made the request . Similarly , though the modern 1937 Irish constitution grants to the Taoiseach the right to make the request , the earlier 1922 Irish Free State Constitution vested the power in the Executive Council ( the then name for the Irish cabinet ) . In Australia , the Prime Minister is expected to step down if s / he loses the majority support of his / her party under a spill motion as have many such as Tony Abbott , Julia Gillard and Kevin Rudd . Titles ( edit ) In the Russian constitution the prime minister is actually titled Chairman of the government while the Irish prime minister is called the Taoiseach ( which is rendered into English as prime minister ) , and in Israel he is Rosh HaMemshalah meaning `` head of the government '' . In many cases , though commonly used , `` prime minister '' is not the official title of the office - holder ; the Spanish prime minister is the President of the Government ( Presidente del Gobierno ) . Other common forms include president of the council of ministers ( for example in Italy , Presidente del Consiglio dei Ministri ) , President of the Executive Council , or Minister - President . In the Nordic countries the prime minister is called Statsminister , meaning `` Minister of State '' . In federations , the head of government of subnational entities such as provinces is most commonly known as the premier , chief minister , governor or minister - president . The convention in the English language is to call nearly all national heads of government `` prime minister '' ( sometimes modified to the equivalent term of `` premier '' ) except in the cases where the head of state and head of government are fused into one position , usually a presidency , regardless of the correct title of the head of government as applied in his or her respective country . The few exceptions to the rule are Germany and Austria , whose heads of government titles are almost always translated as Chancellor ; Monaco , whose head of government is referred to as the Minister of State ; and Vatican City , for which the head of government is titled the Secretary of State . In the case of Ireland , the head of government is occasionally referred to as the Taoiseach by English speakers . A stand - out case is the President of Iran , who is not actually a head of state , but the head of the government of Iran . He is referred to as `` president '' in both the Persian and English languages . In non-Commonwealth countries the prime minister may be entitled to the style of Excellency like a president . In some Commonwealth countries prime ministers and former prime ministers are styled Right Honourable due to their position , for example in the Prime Minister of Canada . In the United Kingdom the prime minister and former prime ministers may appear to also be styled Right Honourable , however this is not due to their position as head of government but as a privilege of being current members of Her Majesty 's Most Honourable Privy Council . In the UK , where devolved government is in place , the leaders of the Scottish , Northern Irish and Welsh Governments are styled First Minister . Between 1921 and 1972 , when Northern Ireland was a Majority Rule Parliament the head of government would be known as the Prime Minister of Northern Ireland.In India , the Prime Minister is referred to as Pradhan Mantri , meaning `` prime minister '' . In Pakistan , the prime minister is referred to as Wazir - e-Azam , meaning `` Grand Vizier '' . Organisational structure ( edit ) Main article : Cabinet department The Prime Minister 's executive office is usually called the Office of the Prime Minister in the case of the Canada and other Commonwealth countries , it is called Cabinet Office in United Kingdom . Some Prime Minister 's office do include the role of Cabinet . In other countries , it is called the Prime Minister 's Department or the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet as for Australia . In Israel , the Prime Minister 's executive office is officially titled the `` Prime Minister 's Office '' in English , but the original Hebrew term can also be translated as the Prime Minister 's Ministry . Description of the role ( edit ) Wilfried Martens , who served as Prime Minister of Belgium , described his role as follows : First of all the Prime Minister must listen a lot , and when deep disagreements occur , he must suggest a solution to the matter . This can be done in different ways . Sometimes during the discussion , I note the elements of the problem and think of a proposal I can formulate to the Council ( cabinet ) , the Secretary taking notes . The Ministers then insist on changing game ages . The Prime Minister can also make a proposal which leaves enough room for amendments in order to keep the current discussion on the right tracks . When a solution must be found in order to reach a consensus , he can force one or two Ministers to join or resign .

It was originally performed by LeAnn Rimes and the extended version of the song was later featured on her second studio album You Light Up My Life : Inspirational Songs in 1997 and later performed by Trisha Yearwood . Both versions were released on May 27 , 1997 . In the US , Rimes 's version peaked at No. 2 for five non-consecutive weeks in late 1997 and early 1998 , behind `` Candle in the Wind 1997 '' by Elton John , and `` Truly Madly Deeply '' by Savage Garden . It set a record for staying on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for 69 weeks , a record it held until `` I 'm Yours '' by Jason Mraz set a new record of 76 weeks . The Rimes recording also set the record for the most time in the Billboard Hot 100 's top 5 at 25 consecutive weeks and held the record for nineteen years ( until it was broken in early 2017 by The Chainsmokers 's song `` Closer '' ) , the record for Billboard Hot 100 's top 10 at 32 consecutive weeks ( a record surpassed by `` Shape of You '' by Ed Sheeran in 2017 ) , and the record for Billboard Hot 100 's top 40 at 62 consecutive weeks . It ranks at No. 4 on Billboard 's All Time Top 100 , the only single on the top 10 of this list not peaking at No. 1 . The only songs that finished ahead of it were Bobby Darin 's cover of `` Mack the Knife '' , Santana 's song `` Smooth '' , and Chubby Checker 's version of `` The Twist '' . It has been certified 3 × Platinum by the RIAA for shipments of 3 million copies in the United States , the highest certified country single of that time , to be surpassed twelve years later by `` Love Story '' from artist Taylor Swift , which has been certified 8 × Platinum . Despite only peaking as high as No. 7 in the UK Singles Chart , Rimes ' version of `` How Do I Live '' spent 34 weeks on the chart , ending up as the 6th best selling single of 1998 . As of August 2014 , the song has sold 710,000 copies in the UK . `` How Do I Live '' was also covered by F.I.R. ( Faye and Real featuring LeAnn Rimes ) . F.I.R. invited Rimes to record a portion of the song for their third album Flight Tribe in 2006 . Billboard Magazine ranked `` How Do I Live '' as the most successful song of the 1990 's despite not going to number one on the Billboard Hot 100 .

According to LeAnn Rimes , Warren wrote the song specifically with her in mind , promising it to Rimes . Walt Disney Pictures , the parent company of Touchstone Pictures , decided that Rimes ' recording had too much of a `` pop '' sound , and also that because she was 14 years old , she was too young to sing about the subject matter expressed in the song . Trisha Yearwood was ultimately chosen to re-record the song , utilizing a more throaty , country - western vibe . Yearwood 's version was released on May 27 , 1997 to country radio and appeared in the film . According to Yearwood , she was unaware of Rimes ' recording prior to being approached by Touchstone Pictures to record the song . When Wilbur Rimes ( LeAnn 's father and then manager ) heard of the release , her version was quickly released to mainstream pop radio . Neither Rimes ' nor Yearwood 's version of the song was included on the soundtrack album for the film ( which consists of the score by Trevor Rabin and Mark Mancina ) . Rimes ' version was released on a CD and cassette tape single , with the original rendition of the song plus an extended version , the latter of which was later re-issued on Rimes ' You Light Up My Life : Inspirational Songs , while the former was issued on her Greatest Hits in 2003 in the US , The Best of LeAnn Rimes in 2004 internationally and again in the US on her All - Time Greatest Hits album in 2015 . The CD single was later re-issued with the original version of the song as the A-side track with the B - side being replaced by the Mr. Mig 's Dance Radio Edit , which would later be featured on the remix edition of The Best of LeAnn Rimes in 2004 , while in 2014 her Dance Like You Do n't Give A ...

Rimes ' version was noted for its extreme longevity , spending a record - breaking 69 weeks on the chart and 32 weeks on the top ten alone , also a record . The track spent 25 of those in the top five , yet another record . Despite not peaking at number one , the Rimes version spent five weeks at number two , ten weeks at number three and seven weeks at number four , all non-consecutive . The song spent so many weeks inside the top 5 of the chart that it competed directly with two songs by R&B singer Usher , `` You Make Me Wanna ... '' and `` Nice & Slow '' , that were released seven months apart from each other . Overall , `` How Do I Live '' by Rimes spent 62 weeks in the US Top 40 and 30 weeks on the UK Top 40 singles chart . On March 11 , 2017 , `` Closer '' by The Chainsmokers and Halsey set the new record for the most amount of time a song has spent in the top five of the Hot 100 when it was ranked at number five , marking its 27th week in the top five ( though unlike `` How Do I Live '' this was nonconsecutive ) . On July 29 , 2017 `` Shape of You '' by Ed Sheeran also ranked in the top five for a 27th week , thus surpassing `` How Do I Live . '' Trisha Yearwood 's version was moving quickly up the charts , getting as high as number 23 , when MCA refused to issue any more copies of the single , for fear of cannibalizing album sales . The limited press run of 300,000 sold out , and the single was off the Hot 100 after 12 weeks . Yearwood 's single on the country charts quickly climbed all the way to number 2 . Rimes single was the top selling country single of all time . Rimes ' version ranked at number 4 on Billboard 's All Time Top 100 in 2008 . When the All Time chart was retabulated for the chart 's 55th anniversary in 2013 , it remained in the same position , being the most successful single by a female artist in the list . Billboard Magazine also ranked the song as the most successful single of the 1990 's . Rimes ' version spent 11 weeks atop the Adult Contemporary chart . In Australia , Rimes ' version peaked on the ARIA Charts at number 17 while Yearwood 's peaked at number 3 .

Directly following Rimes ' performance of the song , Yearwood won the Grammy Award for Best Female Country Vocal Performance . Yearwood also performed the song at the Country Music Association for which she won the 1997 award for Female Vocalist of the Year . Yearwood also won the 1997 Academy of Country Music Award for Top Female Vocalist . The song was also nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song , but lost to `` My Heart Will Go On '' from the film Titanic . Yearwood performed the song at the award ceremony . Credits and personnel ( Edit ) Diane Warren -- songwriter Rimes version Credits for LeAnn 's version are adapted from the liner notes of the UK version of Sittin ' on Top of the World . Wilbur C. Rimes -- producer Chuck Howard -- producer Mike Curb -- producer Lesley Albert -- production coordinator Mary Ann Kennedy -- background vocals Pam Rose -- background vocals Michael Black -- background vocals Dennis Wilson -- background vocals Mick Guzauski -- mixing engineer , mixing Bob Campbell - Smith -- mixing engineer , recording , mixing Greg Morrow -- drums Michael Spriggs -- acoustic guitar John Willis -- electric guitar Michael Rhodes -- bass Steve Nathan -- piano , keys Paul Franklin -- steel guitar Jeff Watkins -- assistant recording Daniel Kresco -- assistant recording , additional recording Scott Ahaus -- assistant recording , assistant mixing Jim Rogers -- assistant recording David Boyer -- assistant recording Csaba Petocz -- recording David Hall -- assistant recording In popular Media ( Edit ) The song was used in the 1997 movie Con Air . The song is semi-frequently used in the webcomic Homestuck ( albeit in the form of a cover ) due to one character 's fascination with the movie Con Air and , in particular , the scene near the end of the movie during which the song is played .

( August 2015 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The prehistory and history of Kentucky spans thousands of years , and has been influenced by the state 's diverse geography and central location . It is not known exactly when the first humans arrived in what is now Kentucky . Around 1,800 BCE , a gradual transition began from a hunter - gatherer economy to agriculturalism . Around 900 CE , a Mississippian culture took root in western and central Kentucky ; by contrast , a Fort Ancient culture appeared in eastern Kentucky . While the two had many similarities , the distinctive ceremonial mounds of the former were absent in the latter . The first permanent European settlement , Harrod 's Town , was established in 1774 . Kentucky was the 15th U.S. state , admitted to the Union on June 1 , 1792 . Kentucky was initially neutral in the American Civil War , but joined the Union side after a Confederate invasion in 1861 . The state remained under Union control for most of the war .

Stone tools , particularly projectile points ( arrowheads ) and scrapers , are the primary evidence of the earliest human activity in the Americas . Paleoindian bands probably moved their camps many times a year . Their camps were typically small ones , consisting of 20 -- 50 people . Band organization was egalitarian , so there were no formal leaders and no social ranking or classes . Scientific evidence links indigenous Americans to Asian peoples , specifically eastern Siberian populations . Indigenous peoples of the Americas have been linked to Siberian populations by linguistic factors , the distribution of blood types , and in genetic composition as reflected by molecular data , such as DNA . At the end of the last Ice Age , between 8000 -- 7000 BCE Kentucky 's climate stabilized , leading to a rise in population and technology advances , resulting in more sedentary lifestyle . This warming trend killed the Pleistocene big game megafauna , such as the mammoth , mastodon , giant beavers , tapirs , short faced bear , giant ground sloths , saber - toothed tiger , horse , bison , musk ox , stag - moose , and peccary , all of which were native to Kentucky during the Ice Age , became extinct or moved north as the glacial ice retreated . No skeletal remains of Paleoindians have been discovered in Kentucky , and while many Paleoindian clovis have been discovered , there 's scant evidence that the Paleoindians at Big Bone Lick State Park in Kentucky hunted Mastodons . The radiocarbon evidence indicates that mastodons and Clovis people overlapped in time ; however , other than one fossil with a possible cut mark and Clovis artifacts that are physically associated with but dispersed within the bone - bearing deposits , there is no incontrovertible evidence that humans hunted Mammut americanum at the site . Archaic era ( 7,500 BCE -- 1,000 BCE ) ( edit ) By 7500 BCE , a catastrophic extinction of large game animals at the end of the Ice Age changed the culture of Kentucky and her peoples . By 4000 BCE , Kentucky peoples exploited native wetland resources , creating large shell middens ( trash piles , ancient landfills ) . Middens developed along rivers , but there is limited evidence of Archaic peoples along coastlines prior to 3000 BCE . Archaic Kentucky natives ' social groups were small , consisting of a few cooperating families . The large shell middens , artifact caches , human and dog burials , and burnt clay flooring prove Archaic natives lived in permanent locations . The white - tailed deer , mussels , fish , oysters , turtles , and the elk were the dominant game animals of Archaic natives . The atlatl makes its first appearance on the stage of world history during this era . The atlatl makes it easier to chuck spears with greater velocity . Other tools Archaic natives used were grooved axes , conical and cylindrical pestles , bone awls , cannel coal beads , hammerstones , and bannerstones . Hominy holes were used too . Hominy holes were a depression worn in sandstone by grinding or pulverizing , and it was used for grinding up hickory nuts or seed . Shell ( mussel ) mound sites along the Green and Cumberland Rivers buried their dogs . At Kentucky 's Indian Knoll site , 67,000 artifacts were uncovered , including 4,000 projectile points , and twenty three dog burials , seventeen of which were well preserved . Some dogs were buried alone , others with their masters ; some with adults , male and female , and others with children . Archaic dogs were medium - sized and stood about 14 -- 18 inches ( 360 -- 460 mm ) tall at the shoulder , and are very likely to have been related to the wolf . Dogs had a special place in the lives of Archaic people . The Cherokee believed that dogs are spiritual , moral , and sacred . The Yuchi are another specific tribe known to have lived around the Green River . The Indian Knoll site is older than 5,000 years , and it is located along the Green River in Ohio County , Kentucky . While there 's evidence of earlier settlement , this area was most heavily occupied from approximately 3000 -- 2000 BCE , when the climate and vegetation were nearing modern conditions . The Green River floodplain provided a stable environment , which eventually led to agricultural development early in the late Holocene era . The abundant food resources and nearby mussel bed made it ideal for Kentucky natives to permanently settle . At the end of the Archaic period , a form of squash had been cultivated , used for their edible seeds and as containers ( gourds ) . Woodland era ( 1,000 BCE -- 900 CE ) ( edit ) About 1,800 BCE , Kentucky 's native Americans had started to cultivate several species of wild plants , transitioning from a hunter - gatherer economy to an agricultural - based economy . The Woodland era represents the `` middle '' era between the mostly hunter - gatherers of the Archaic era and the agriculturalist Mississippian era . The Woodland era is a developmental stage without any massive changes , but is constituted by a continuous development in shelter construction , stone and bone tools , textile manufacture , leather crafting , and agricultural cultivation . Archeologists have identified distinctly separate cultures during the Middle Woodland period . Examples include the Armstrong culture , Copena culture , Crab Orchard culture , Fourche Maline culture , the Goodall Focus , the Havana Hopewell culture , the Kansas City Hopewell , the Marksville culture , and the Swift Creek culture . The remains of two distinct Woodland groups , the Adena ( early Woodland ) and the Hopewell ( middle Woodland ) , have been found in above present - day Louisville , and in the Bluegrass and northern Kentucky areas . Some Woodland tribes were able to get copper from Lake Superior , conch shells from the Gulf of Mexico , and obsidian from the Rocky Mountains . The introduction of pottery , its widespread use , and the increased sophistication of its forms and decoration , first believed to have occurred around 1,000 BCE , is a major demarcation of the Woodland era . Archaic pots were thick , heavy , and fragile , but Woodland pottery pots were more intricately designed , and had more uses , such as for cooking and storing surplus food . Woodland peoples also used baskets and gourds for containers too . Around 200BCE , maize production migrated to the eastern United States from Mexico . The introduction of corn is when Kentucky natives slowly changed from growing indigenous plants to a maize based agricultural economy . In addition to cultivating corn , the Woodland people also cultivated giant ragweeds , amaranth ( pigweed ) , and maygrass . The initial four plants known to have been domesticated were goosefoot ( Chenopodium berlandieri ) , sunflower ( Helianthus annuus var . macroscarpus ) , marshelder ( Iva annua var . macrocarpa ) , and squash ( Cucurbita pepo ssp . ovifera ) ( gourds ) . Woodland people raised tobacco in their gardens which they used for smoking . Woodland people still used ground stone tools , especially for processing nuts and seeds . They mined both Mammoth Cave and Salts Cave for gypsum and mirabilite , a salty seasoning . Shellfish was still an important part of their diets , and the most common prey was white - tailed deer . Spears also continued to be made , but late in the Woodland era , the straight bow became the typical weapon of choice in the eastern United States , which is illustrated by the reduction in size of arrowheads . In addition to bows and arrows , some southeastern Woodland peoples also used blowguns . Between 100 BCE and 450BC , the native Americans in Kentucky begin to build burial mounds , which indicates social change . The Woodland Indians buried their dead in conical , and then later flat , or oval - shaped , burial mounds , which were often 10 to 20 feet ( 3.0 -- 6.1 m ) high ( like Serpent Mound ) . This practice resulted in the Woodland people being called the Mound Builders by 19th - century observers . The increasing use of agriculture during the development of the Eastern Agricultural Complex meant that Kentucky natives ' nomadic nature was transitioned by permanently occupied villages , which had the Woodland people living in bigger houses and larger communities , although intensive agriculture did not begin until the Mississippian era . Mississippian era ( 900 CE -- 1750 CE ) ( edit ) In 900 CE , the Kentucky 's natives ' variety of corn became highly productive , supplanting the Eastern Agricultural Complex , and replaced it with a maize - based agriculture in the Mississippian era . The Mississippian era natives ' village life revolved around planting , growing , and harvesting corn and beans . Corn and beans made up 60 % of their diet . Stone and bone hoes were utilized . Agricultural production of the `` Three Sisters '' ( maize , beans , and squash ) was utilized during this time period . The white - tailed deer was the dominant game animal that was hunted . Mississippian clay pottery ceramics were more varied and elaborate than those of the Woodland period , including painting and decorations , and a range of vessel forms such a bottles , plates , pans , jars , pipes , funnels , bowls , and colanders . Potters added handles to jars , and they attached human and animal effigies to some bowls and bottles . The ancient Mississippians lived in rectangular houses , substantially built , on top of large platform mounds . Their houses contained burned clay wall fragments ( daub ) , which demonstrate they decorated their walls with murals . They lived year round in large communities , some which had stockades to protect their settlements , and had been established for centuries . An average Fort Ancient or Mississippian town had about 2,000 people living in it . Some people lived in smaller farms and hamlets . Larger towns , centered on mounds and plazas , served as ceremonial and administrative centers . They were located near rivers with large floodplains , which provided farmland , transportation routes , and backwater plants and animals . A Mississippian culture developed in western Kentucky and the surrounding area , while a Fort Ancient culture dominated in the eastern portion of what became Kentucky . While the two cultures are similar in numerous ways , the Fort Ancient culture did n't have the temple mounds and chiefs ' houses like the Mississippian culture had . There are many Mississippian town sites in Kentucky , such as the Adams , Backusburg , Canton , Chambers , Jonathan Creek , McLeod 's Bluff , Rowlandtown , Sassafras Ridge , Turk , Twin Mounds , and Wickliffe sites . The Wickliffe Mounds in far western Kentucky were inhabited from 1000 - 1350 CE . There were two large platform mounds and eight smaller mounds scattered around a central plaza . They traded with North Carolina , Wisconsin , and the Gulf of Mexico societies . The community of Wickliffe had a social hierarchy ruled by a hereditary chief . The Rowlandton Mound Site was inhabited from 1100 to 1350CE . The Rowlandton Mound site sat on a 2.4 acres ( 0.97 ha ) site , which also a large platform mound and an associated village area , similar to the Wickliffe Mounds Site . It is probable that these civic sites were established originally by local Late Woodland peoples . The Tolu Site was inhabited by Kentucky natives from 1200 -- 1450 CE . The Tolu site originally had three mounds : a burial mound , a substructure platform mound , and one other of undetermined function . It also had a central plaza , and a large 6.6 - foot ( 2.0 m ) thick midden area . A rare Cahokia - made Missouri flint clay 7 - inch ( 180 mm ) human effigy pipe was found as this site . The Marshall Site was inhabited from 900 to 1300CE ; The Turk Site was inhabited from 1100 -- 1500CE ; and the Adams Site was peopled from 1100 to 1500CE . The Slack Farm was populated from 1400 - 1650AD . This had a Native American mound , and extensive village occupation . As many as a thousand or more people could have been buried at the seven cemeteries at the site . Some were buried in stone box graves . Native Americans abandoned a large late Mississippian village in Petersburg that contained `` at least two periods of habitation dating to 1150 A.D. and 1400 A.D. '' French explorers in the 17th century documented numerous tribes living in Kentucky until the Beaver Wars in the 1670s . The late Mississippian period envelopes better known tribes encountered by the French , English , and Spanish conquerors . Natives known to have lived in Kentucky include , but are not limited to : Cherokee ( in southeastern Kentucky caves , and along the Cumberland River ) , Chickasaw ( in the western Jackson Purchase area , especially along the Tennessee River ) , Delaware , Mosopelea ( at the mouth of the Cumberland River ) , Shawnee ( all throughout the Bluegrass State ) , Wyandot , and the Yuchi ( on the Green River ) . Hunting bands of Iroquois , Illinois , Delaware , and the Miami also visited Kentucky . First Europeans in Kentucky ( edit ) Rene - Robert Cavelier , Sieur de la Salle , 1669 ? , 1673 ( edit ) According to The Jesuit Relations , from about 1662 -- 1672 the Shawnee were driven from their Cumberland Valley home by the Iroquois Five Nations in the Beaver Wars ; some Shawnee then fled to South Carolina , others to Illinois . Rene - Robert Cavelier , Sieur de la Salle was a French explorer who claimed all of the land along the Mississippi River Valley , including Kentucky , for France . Though it was still then under control by Natives , Thomas Jefferson would later buy this claim from France in 1803 in a deal called the Louisiana Purchase . In July 1669 , Robert de la Salle organized twenty four men and six canoes for his expedition . During this venture , he met Louis Joliet and Jacques Marquette , the first white men to explore and map the Mississippi River , in Hamilton , Ontario . The expedition eventually reached the Ohio River , allegedly , which it followed as far as Louisville , Kentucky . At an Indian village in this neighborhood he met a party of warriors returning with a Pottawattomie prisoner . This prisoner La Salle ransomed on his agreeing that he lead the Frenchman to the Ohio . Tradition has it that the party then came on southward from Lake Erie until they reached a branch of the Ohio . This stream they descended to its mouth ; thence down the Ohio as far as the Falls at Louisville . Here La Salle 's men deserted him and turned back to the east , leaving their captain alone to find his way back to Canada as best he could . In 1673 , ( 1679 ? ) , La Salle came down the Mississippi river , passing by Kentucky before reaching the confluence of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers , on his second expedition . Jacques Marquette and Louis Jolliet , 1673 ( edit ) In the Fall of 1673 , Jacques Marquette , a French Jesuit missionary , and Louis Jolliet , a French Canadian explorer , passed a small piece of Kentucky by the mouth of the Ohio on their boat trip down the Mississippi River . Later , their boat would capsize , and many of their papers were destroyed . Gabriel Arthur , 1673 ( edit ) Gabriel Arthur and James Needham was sent out by Abraham Wood from Fort Henry ( present Petersburg , Virginia ) on May 17 , 1673 with four horses and some native American slaves to make direct contact with the Tomahittan ( possibly Yuchi ) at their Capitol in Chota , present - day Tennessee , on the Hiwassee River in order to learn their language , to establish strong business ties for the beaver fur trade , and to bypass the Occaneechi traders who were serving as middlemen on the Trading Path . On his return journey , James Needham got into an argument with `` Indian John '' , his Occaneechi guide , resulting in his death : From Aeno hee journied to Sarrah , with his companions ye Tomahitons and John ye Occhonechee accompanied with more of his countrymen which was to see ye tragady acted as I suppose , it happened as they passed Sarrah river an Indian lett his pack slip into ye water . Whether on purpose or by chance I canot judge , upon this some words passed betwine Needham and ye Indian . Occhonechee Indian John tooke up Mr. Needham very short in words and soe continued scoulding all day until they had passed ye Yattken towne and soe over Yattken river , not far from ye river Mr. Needham alighted it not being far from the foot of ye mountaines , and there tooke up theire quarters . Still Indian John continued his wailing and threating Mr. Needham tooke up a hatchet which lay by him , haveing his sword by him threw ye hatchet on ye ground by Indian John and said what John are you minded to kill me . Indian John immediately catched up a gunn , which hee him selfe had carried to kill meat for them to eate , and shot Mr. Needham neare ye burr of ye eare and killd him not withstanding all ye Tomahittans started up to rescue Needham but Indian John was too quick for them , soe died the heroyick English man . -- Letter of Abraham Wood to John Richards , August 22 , 1674 `` Indian John '' tried to get the Tomahittan to kill Arthur but the chief prevented this by adopting Gabriel . For about a year , Arthur , dressed as the Tomahittan of Chota , traveled with the chief and his war parties on revenge raids of Spanish settlements in Florida ( after ten were killed , and ten captured during a peaceful trading mission several years back ) , Indian communities on the east coast , and Shawnee towns on the Ohio River in the winter of 1673 / 1674 . When the Tomahittan tribe attacked the Shawnees in the Ohio River valley , Arthur was wounded by an arrow and captured , but he was saved from burning at the stake by a Shawnee who was sympathetic to him . Upon learning that Arthur had married a Tomahittan maiden ( `` Hannah Rebecca '' Nikitie ) , the Shawnee cured his wound , gave him his gun , gave him rokahamoney to eat , and put him on a road that led back to his family at Chota . Most agree this road was the Warrior 's Path that crossed the Ohio at the mouth of the Scioto , went south across the Red River branch of the Kentucky River , then up Station Camp Creek and through Ouasiota Pass into the Ouasiota Mountains . In June 1674 ( 1678 ? ) , the chief escorted Arthur back to his English settlement in Virginia . Arthur 's accounts of both the land and the tribes who inhabited it supplied the first detailed information about Kentucky . Arthur was also among the first Europeans ( preceded by Batts and Fallam ) to visit modern West Virginia , and cross the Cumberland Gap . Arnout Viele , 1693 ( edit ) In early autumn 1692 , Arnout Viele , a loyal English - speaking Dutchman , and a party of eleven companions -- Christians , Shawnee , and a few loyal Delaware guides -- from Esopus were sent out by the Governor of New York in order to establish trade relationships with the Shawnee to bring them into the English sphere of influence . Viele understood native American languages which made him valuable as an interpreter . Viele is credited with being the first white man to travel and explore western Pennsylvania and the Upper Ohio Valley . Viele even made contact with nations located as far west as the Wabash River border . Arnout Viele and company left Albany , traveling southbound , crossing portions of present - day New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania . They apparently followed the West Branch of the Susquehanna River into the mountains , going through the Tioga river , and then reaching some tributary of the Allegheny River , and floated on down to the Shawnee towns along the Ohio River . Viele and his pioneer expedition spent most of 1693 exploring the Ohio river and its tributaries in northern Kentucky with their Shawnee hosts . In February 1694 , Gerit Luykasse , two of Viele 's Dutch traders , and two Shawnees reappeared at Albany on a mission `` to fetch powder for Arnout ( Viele ) and his Company . '' The party was gone fifteen months , but Arnout was gone for 2 years . In August 1694 , Viele and his companions appeared out of the Pennsylvania wilderness -- accompanied by hundreds of Shawnees who intended to relocate in the Minisink country on the upper Delaware River and by the diplomats of `` seven Nations of Indians '' seeking either trade with the English or peace with the Iroquois . Garpard - Joseph Chaussegroes de Lery , 1729 ( edit ) In 1729 , Garpard - Joseph Chaussegroes de Lery , a French architect and surveyor whose survey compass was the first reconnaissance charting of the Ohio River , led an expedition of French troops from Fort Niagara down the Allegheny and Ohio Rivers , as far as the mouth of the Big Miami by Big Bone Lick , and possibly to the Falls of the Ohio . Chaussegros de Lery mapped the Great Lakes in 1725 , and he was the engineer of the Niagara fortifications in 1726 . I am indebted for the topographical details of the course of this River to M. de Lery , Engineer , who surveyed it with the compass at the time that he descended it with a detachment of French troops in 1729. - Jacques Nicolas Bellin Located inside Charlevoix 's `` History of New France '' is the map of the Ohio River valley that Bellin drew , which was drawn from observations made by de Lery . The 1744 Bellin map , named `` Map of Louisiana '' ( French : Carte de La Louisiane ) , contains an inscription at a point south of the Ohio River and north of the `` Falls , '' written : `` Place where one found the ivory of Elephant in 1729 ( French : endroit ou on à trouvé des os d'Elephant en 1729 ) . De Lery 's men found teeth that weighed ten pounds ( 4.5 kg ) , with a diameter of five to seven inches ( 130 to 180 mm ) , tusks that measured 11 feet ( 3.4 m ) in length , 6 -- 7 inches ( 150 -- 180 mm ) in diameter , and thigh bones that were 5 feet ( 1.5 m ) long . These bones were collected and shipped to Paris . Today they are on display at the National Natural History Museum in Paris . Charles Le Moyne III , Baron de longueil , 1739 ( edit ) Charles III Le Moyne , second Baron de Longueuil , later the Governor of Montreal and Interim Governor of New France , who had commanded Fort Niagara from 1726 -- 1733 , led an expedition of 442 men , including native Americans , from Montreal to war against the Chickasaws on the lower part of the Mississippi River . According to Gaston Pierre de Lévis , Duke de Mirepoix , this expedition used the Ohio River as a corridor to the Mississippi River . The 1739 expedition of Charles Le Moyne III consisted of : Among the officers who accompanied this party were Major de Lignery , Lieutenants , de Vassan , Aubert de Gaspe , Du Vivier , de Verrier , Le Gardeur de St. Pierre , Chevalier de Villiers , de Portneuf , de Sabrevious ; Father Vernet , chaplain ; Cadets , Joncaire de Closonne , Le Gai de Joncaire , Drouet de Richarville the younger , Chaussegros de Lery the younger , de Gannes , Chev . Benoist , de Morville , de Selles , and seventeen others . The rank and file consisted of three sergeants , six corporals , six lance corporals , twenty - four soldiers , forty - five habitants , one hundred and eighty - six Iroquois from the Saut , forty - one from the Lake of Two Mountains , thirty - two Algonquins and Nipissings , fifty Abenaquis from St. Francois and Becancour ; Father La Bretonnier , Jesuit , Queret , missionary . One of the first reported eyewitness accounts of Shannoah was by Charles Le Moyne III in July 1739 . While on their journey down the Ohio River towards the Mississippi , they met with local chiefs in a village on the banks of the Scioto . John Howard and John Peter Salling , 1742 ( edit ) John Howard , a pioneer from Virginia , led a party of five -- John Peter Salling ( a Pennsylvania German ) , Josiah Howard ( John 's son ) , Charles Sinclair , and John Poteet ( Vizt ) -- from the mountains in Virginia to the Mississippi River . The elder Howard had a promised reward of 10,000 acres ( 4,000 ha ) of land for a successful expedition from Virginia 's Royal Governor 's Council to reinforce British claims in the west . Howard offered equal shares of the 10,000 acres ( 4,000 ha ) to the four other members of his expedition . On March 16 , 1742 , the party of five started at John Peter Salling 's house in August County , and voyaged westwards to Cedar Creek , near the Natural Bridge . Crossing Greenbrier River , and landing at the New River . At New River , the Virginian explorers constructed a large bullboat frame and then covered it with the skin of five buffaloes they killed . The first Englishmen to explore that region then followed the New River over 250 miles ( 400 km ) until the river became too dangerous to navigate , abandoning it at a major falls , traveling overland to the Coal River , then followed the Kanawha River , where they entered the Ohio River , 444 miles ( 715 km ) above the `` Great Falls '' of present - day Louisville . The five Virginian pioneers traced the northern boundary of Kentucky for five hundred miles ( 800 km ) and finally reached the Mississippi River on June 7 . The Virginians were able to descend to just below the mouth of the Arkansas River , where , on July 2 , 1742 , they were ambushed by a large company of native Americans , Blacks , and Frenchmen . One or two of Howard 's men were killed . The rest were carried them off New Orleans where they were imprisoned as spies . After two years of prison , Salling escaped on October 25 , 1744 , eventually returning by a southern route to his home in Augusta County , Virginia , in May 1745 . John Howard 's fate was different than Salling 's . After he was arrested and imprisoned , Howard was extradited to France to stand trial . His ship was intercepted by the English , and as a free man , he reported his adventures after landing in London , but his account has not survived . Salling 's detailed account of Virginia 's adjacent lands was used by Joshua Fry and Peter Jefferson 's 1751 map . Salling is credited with being the first person to have discovered coal in the United States when he was on the aptly named Coal River .

Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( July 2016 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Comte de la Galissoniere , the governor of Canada , ordered Pierre Joseph Céloron de Blainville to strengthen the French claim on the Ohio Valley . Céloron carried out his `` lead plate expedition '' in the summer of 1749 . Céloron set out from Montreal on June 15 , 1749 , in a flotilla consisting of large boats and canoes . The expedition included 216 French and Canadians and 55 Native Americans . In Shannoah at the Scioto River 's mouth , he again encountered English traders . Céloron demanded that the English leave , but most refused . Origin of the name ( edit ) The origin of the name `` Kentucky '' is not known with any certainty . One suggestion is that it is derived from an Iroquois name meaning `` land of tomorrow '' . Native America : A State - by - State Historical Encyclopedia states that `` Various authors have offered a number of opinions concerning the word 's meaning : the Iroquois word `` kentake '' meaning `` meadow land , '' the Wyandotte ( or perhaps Cherokee or Iroquois ) word `` ken - tah - the '' meaning `` land of tomorrow , '' the Algonquian term `` kin - athiki '' referring to a river bottom , a Shawnee word meaning `` at the head of a river , '' or an Indian word meaning land of `` cane and turkeys . '' However , the name does not mean `` dark and bloody ground '' in any language . '' There were many variations of the word during early pioneer times , including Kentucke ( as in The Discovery , Settlement and Present State of Kentucke ) , Kaintuckee and Cantuckey . The state 's official nickname is the `` Bluegrass State , '' which is derived from the famed species of grass grown in central Kentucky , Bluegrass , or Poa . `` The nickname also recognizes the role that the Bluegrass region has played in Kentucky 's economy and history . '' Early period of European settlement ( edit ) Pre-conquest native American settlements ( edit ) Eskippakithiki ( edit ) Eskippakithiki , aka Indian Old Fields , was Kentucky 's last surviving Shawnee village . It was located in present - day Clark County . A 1736 French census numbers Eskippakithiki 's population at two hundred families . Blackhoof was born here . Eskippakithiki had a population of eight hundred to one thousand . The town was protected by a stout stockade some two hundred yards in diameter , and it was surrounded by three thousand five hundred acres ( 1,400 ha ) of land that had been cleared for crops . John Findley / Finley , the man who showed Kentucky flatlands to Daniel Boone in 1769 , piquing Boone 's interest in Kentucky , showed him the flatlands where Eskippakithiki used to be established . John Findley / Finley lived and traded in Eskippakithiki in 1752 . John Findley / Finley claims that he was attacked by a party of 50 Christian Conewago and Ottawa Indians , a white French Canadian , and a white renegade Dutchman named Philip Philips , all from the St. Lawrence River , upon a scalping hunting expedition against the southern Indians , on January 28 , 1753 , along the Warrior 's Path , 25 miles ( 40 km ) south of Eskippakithiki , near the head of Station Camp Creek in Estill County . Major William Trent wrote the letter that first mentions the word `` Kentucky '' regarding the attack on John Findley . Major Trent wrote : I have received a letter just now from Mr. Croghan , wherein he acquaints me that fifty - odd Ottawas , Conewagos , one Dutchman , and one of the Six Nations , that was their captain , met with some of our people at a place called Kentucky on this side Allegheny river , about one hundred and fifty miles ( 240 km ) from the Lower Shawnee Town . They took eight prisoners , five belonging to Mr. Croghan and me , the others to Lowry ; they took three or four hundred pounds worth of goods from us ; one of them made his escape after he had been a prisoner three days . Three of John Findley 's men are killed by the Little Pict Town , and no account of himself ... There was one Frenchman in the Company . - Lucien Beckner The seven Pennsylvanian white traders with John Findley / Finley 's crew consisted of James Lowry , David Hendricks , Alexander McGinty , Jabez Evans , Jacob Evans , William Powell , Thomas Hyde , and their Cherokee slave . The white Pennsylvania traders shot at the 50 Christian Indians , and the 50 Christian Indians ( along with Philip Philips ) , took the whites prisoner , and transported them to Canada , and shipped some of them off to France , as prisoners of war . Findley fled , and the next time a white person went to Eskippathiki , the whole town was burnt down to the ground . Shannoah ( edit ) Shannoah , aka Lower Shawneetown , aka Chalahgawtha ( meaning `` principal place '' ) , is the Shawnee village where Mary Draper Ingles was taken when she was kidnapped on July 30 , 1755 . Ingles was the first white woman to see Kentucky . She eventually escaped . Shanoah is located in Greenup County . Established in the mid-1730s at the mouth of the Scioto River as a center for commerce and diplomacy , this was one of the earliest known Shawnee settlements on both sides of the Ohio River . Although mainly a Shawnee village , the population included contingents of Seneca and Lenape . The town became a key center in dealings with other tribes and with Europeans , notably the French and the British , before it was abandoned about November 1758 , perhaps because of a 1753 flood , or the French and Indian War , which began in 1755 in the Ohio valley . Establishment of Harrod 's Town ( edit ) Before 1750 , Kentucky was populated nearly exclusively by Cherokee , Chickasaw , Shawnee , Yuchi , Mosopelea , and several other tribes of Native Americans . Early British exploration of the area that would become Kentucky was made in 1750 by a scouting party led by Dr. Thomas Walker , and in 1751 by Christopher Gist for the Ohio Company . Any French claims to Kentucky were lost after the British defeated them in the French and Indian War and signed the Treaty of Paris ( 1763 ) on February 10 , 1763 . The Iroquois claim to much of what is now Kentucky was purchased by the British in the Treaty of Fort Stanwix on November 5 , 1768 . In 1774 , Harrod 's Town became the first white permanent settlement in Kentucky . Harrod 's Town , named after James Harrod , was founded by the order of the British royal Governor of Virginia John Murray , the 4th Earl of Dunmore . James Harrod led an expedition to survey the bounds of land promised by the British crown to soldiers who served in the French and Indian War . Leaving from Fort Redstone , Harrod and 37 men traveled down the Monongahela and Ohio Rivers to the mouth of the Kentucky River , eventually crossing Salt River into what is today Mercer County , Kentucky . On June 16 , 1774 , the men established the first pioneer settlement in Kentucky , Harrod 's Town . The men divided the land amongst them ; Harrod chose an area about six miles ( 9.7 km ) from the settlement proper , which he named Boiling Springs . On July 8 , 1774 , Shawnee attacked a small party of Harrod 's in the Fontainbleau area , killing two men . The others escaped to the camp , some 3 miles ( 4.8 km ) away . Just as Harrod 's men had completed the settlement 's first structures , Dunmore dispatched Daniel Boone to call them back from the frontier and into military service against some bands of Shawnee and Mingo in Lord Dunmore 's War . Harrod enlisted in the militia , but arrived too late to participate in the war 's only major battle -- the Battle of Point Pleasant . His men arrived at the battle site at midnight on October 10 , the day the fighting ended . The Treaty of Camp Charlotte , signed by Shawnee Chief Cornstalk , which concluded Lord Dunmore 's War , ceded to Royal Virginia the Shawnee claims to all lands south of the Ohio River ( today 's states of Kentucky and West Virginia ) . The Shawnee were also obligated in the Treaty of Camp Charlotte to return all white captives and stop attacking barges of immigrants traveling on the Ohio River . On March 8 , 1775 , Harrod led a group of settlers back to Harrodstown to stay . James Pierce Barton Kentucky Landscape The defeat of the Shawnee in Lord Dunmore 's War in 1774 emboldened land speculators in North Carolina , who believed much of what is now Kentucky and Tennessee would soon be under British control . One such speculator , Richard Henderson ( 1734 -- 1785 ) , learned from his friend Daniel Boone that the Cherokee were interested in selling a large part of their land on the Trans - Appalachian frontier , and Henderson quickly set up negotiations with Cherokee leaders . Between March 14 and 17 , 1775 , Henderson , Boone , and several associates met at Sycamore Shoals with Cherokee leaders Attakullakulla , Oconastota , Willanawaw , Doublehead and Dragging Canoe . The Treaty of Sycamore Shoals , the `` Transylvania Purchase '' , was not recognized by Dragging Canoe who sought unsuccessfully to reject Henderson 's purchase of tribal lands outside the Donelson line , and departed the conference vowing to turn the lands `` dark and bloody '' if settlers attempted to settle upon them . The rest of the negotiations went fairly smoothly , however , and the Treaty of Sycamore Shoals was signed on March 17 , 1775 . At the same conference , the Watauga and Nolichucky settlers negotiated similar purchases for their lands . Kentucky in the American Revolution ( 1775 -- 1783 ) ( edit ) Map of Kentucky published in 1784 along with The Discovery , Settlement and Present State of Kentucke by John Filson After 1775 , Kentucky grew rapidly as the first settlements west of the Appalachian Mountains were founded , with settlers migrating primarily from Virginia , North Carolina , and Pennsylvania ; they entered the region via the Cumberland Gap and the Ohio River . It was claimed by Virginia as part of its territory . The most famous of these early explorers and settlers was Daniel Boone , one of the founders of the state . During this period , the settlers introduced commodity agriculture to the area . Tobacco , corn , and hemp were developed as the major commodity crops of Kentucky , and the hunting stage of frontier life faded away . Due to the ongoing violence , however , as Native Americans resisted white settlement , by 1776 there were fewer than 200 settlers in Kentucky . During the American Revolution , 1775 -- 1783 , settlers soon began pouring into the region ; Dragging Canoe responded by leading his faction into the Cherokee -- American wars , 1776 -- 1794 , especially along the Holston River , at the height of the American Revolutionary War . The Shawnee north of the Ohio River were also unhappy about the American settlement of Kentucky . Although some bands tried to be neutral , Historian Colin Calloway reports that most Shawnees fought allied with the British against the Americans . Kentucky 's second largest city , and former capital Lexington , is named for Lexington , Massachusetts , site of one of the first battles of the Revolution . As the first `` new '' west for the Patriots , Kentucky was situated in the Western theater of the American Revolutionary War . Bryan 's Station is the fort built there during the last year of the war for defense against the British and their Native American allies . Kentucky was a battleground during the war . The Battle of Blue Licks , one of the last major battles of the Revolution , was fought there ; the Americans were defeated . Militia officers ( edit ) After Kentucky County was legislatively created on December 6 , 1776 ( effective 1777 ) , the county militia was organized as follows : George Rogers Clark -- Brig General Northwestern Frontier 01 / 1781 John Bowman -- Colonel -- County Lieutenant of Kentucky County , Virginia 12 / 1776 & 11 / 1779 Anthony Bledsoe -- Lieutenant Colonel John Todd -- Captain -- Virginia Benjamin Logan -- Captain -- Kentucky County , Virginia Daniel Boone -- Captain -- Boonesborough , Kentucky James Harrod -- Captain -- Harrodsburg , Kentucky David Robinson -- appointed County Lieutenant but office was never filled . In November 1780 , Virginia divided Kentucky County into three : Fayette , Jefferson , and Lincoln counties . Militia officers of these counties included : Fayette County John Todd -- county lieutenant and colonel ( killed at Blue Licks in 1782 ) Daniel Boone -- lieutenant colonel Jefferson County John Floyd -- county lieutenant and colonel ( killed 1783 ) Lincoln County Benjamin Logan -- county lieutenant and colonel Stephen Trigg -- lieutenant colonel ( killed at Blue Licks in 1782 ) In January 1781 , Governor Thomas Jefferson appointed George Rogers Clark as brigadier general , a special position created for an expedition against British and Native Americans at Detroit , but this never materialized , because of lack of money and soldiers . As a general , Clark was the highest - ranking militia officer in Kentucky and supervised the work of the three Kentucky County colonels . Treaty of Hopewell ( edit ) Low 's Map of Kentucky and neighboring Territories did not yet include the westernmost part of Kentucky , or West Tennessee , controlled by the Chickasaw Nation until 1818 . From Low 's Encyclopaedia The westernmost part of Kentucky , west of the Tennessee River , was recognized as hunting grounds belonging to the Chickasaw by the 1786 Treaty of Hopewell , and remained so until they sold it to the U.S. in 1818 , albeit under pressure . This region is still sometimes known as the Jackson Purchase in reference to President Andrew Jackson of the period . 1792 -- admission to the Union ( edit ) Several factors contributed to the desire of the residents of Kentucky to separate from Virginia . First , traveling to the state capital was long and dangerous . Second , offensive use of local militia against Indian raids required authorization from the governor of Virginia . Last , Virginia refused to recognize the importance of trade along the Mississippi River to Kentucky 's economy . It forbade trade with the Spanish colony of New Orleans , which controlled the mouth of the Mississippi , but this was important to Kentucky communities . The magnitude of these problems increased with the rapid growth of population in Kentucky , leading Colonel Benjamin Logan to call a constitutional convention in Danville in 1784 . Over the next several years , nine more conventions were held . During one , General James Wilkinson proposed secession from both Virginia and the United States to become a ward of Spain , but the idea was defeated . In 1788 , Virginia granted its consent to Kentucky 's statehood in the form of two enabling acts . The second and operative act required that the Confederation Congress admit Kentucky into the Union by July 4 , 1788 . A Committee of the Whole reported that Kentucky be so admitted , and on July 3 , the full Congress took up the question of Kentucky statehood . Unfortunately , one day earlier , Congress had learned of New Hampshire 's all - important ninth ratification of the proposed Constitution , thus establishing it as the new framework of governance for the United States . In light of this development , Congress thought that it would be `` unadvisable '' to admit Kentucky into the Union , as it could do so `` under the Articles of Confederation '' only , but not `` under the Constitution '' . Therefore it resolved ... That the said Legislature and the inhabitants of the district aforesaid ( Kentucky ) be informed , that as the constitution of the United States is now ratified , Congress think it unadviseable ( sic ) to adopt any further measures for admitting the district of Kentucky into the federal Union as an independent member thereof under the Articles of Confederation and perpetual Union ; but that Congress thinking it expedient that the said district be made a separate State and member of the Union as soon after proceedings shall commence under the said constitution as circumstances shall permit , recommend it to the said legislature and to the inhabitants of the said district so to alter their acts and resolutions relative to the premisses ( sic ) as to render them conformable to the provisions made in the said constitution to the End that no impediment may be in the way of the speedy accomplishment of this important business . Kentucky 's final push for statehood , now under the Federal Constitution , officially began with a convention , again held at Danville , in April 1792 . There delegates drafted Kentucky 's first Constitution and submitted it to the United States Congress . On June 1 , 1792 , Kentucky was admitted into the Union as the fifteenth state . Antebellum period ( 1792 -- 1860 ) ( edit ) See also : History of slavery in Kentucky Economy ( edit ) Land speculation was an important source of income as the first settlers sold out their claims for cash to newcomers and moved further west . The great majority of Kentuckians were farmers . They grew most of their own food , using the corn crop to feed hogs and to distill into whiskey . They obtained their cash from sales of burley tobacco , hemp , horses and mules . The hemp was spun and woven for cotton bale bagging and ropes . Tobacco was labor - intensive to cultivate ; planters were attracted to Kentucky from Maryland and Virginia , where their own lands were near exhaustion from tobacco cultivation . Tobacco was a labor - intensive crop , and plantations in the Bluegrass region used slave labor , but on a smaller scale than the cotton plantations of the Deep South . Adequate transportation routes proved crucial to Kentucky 's economic success in the early antebellum period . The rapid growth of stagecoach roads , canals and railroads early in the century drew many Easterners to the state . For example , towns along the Maysville Road from Washington to Lexington grew rapidly to accommodate the demand . Surveyors and cartographers had always made their fortunes in early Kentucky and especially by the antebellum period , such as David H. Burr ( 1803 -- 1875 ) , who served as geographer to the U.S. House of Representatives in the 1830s and ' 40s . Kentuckians loved horses , using them for transportation , mode of power , breeding , and racing . Taxpayers owned 90,000 horses in 1800 , with 87 % of all householders owning at least one , and two - thirds of the taxpayers owning two or more . Breeding thoroughbreds for racing is a Bluegrass specialty . Louisville began sponsoring the world - famous Kentucky Derby at the Churchill Downs track in 1875 . Mules were cheaper to own than horses , and were well adapted to small farms . Mule breeding became a specialty in Kentucky , and many of the mule breeders moved west to Missouri to expand their operations after 1865 . Louisville and Lexington ( edit ) Further information : History of Louisville , Kentucky and Lexington , Kentucky § History Kentucky was mostly rural , but two important cities emerged before the American Civil War , Lexington , the first city settled , and Louisville , which would become the largest . Lexington , was the center of the Bluegrass Region , an agricultural area featuring production of tobacco and hemp . It was also known for the breeding and training of high - quality livestock , including horses . It was the base for many prominent planters , most notably Henry Clay , the politician who led the Whig Party , and who brokered important compromises over the issue of slavery . Before the west was considered to begin west of the Mississippi River , it was considered to begin at the Appalachian Mountains , and young Lexington was the cultural center of the region . It later claimed for itself the designation of `` Athens of the West . '' Louisville , located at the falls of the Ohio River , emerged as the largest city in the state . The growth of commerce was facilitated by steamboats on the river , and the city had strong trading ties extending down the Mississippi River to New Orleans . It developed a large slave market , from which thousands of slaves from the Upper South were sold `` downriver '' and transported to the Deep South in the domestic slave trade . In addition , to river access , the construction of railroads helped solidify Louisville 's role as the commercial center of the state , as well as strengthening trading ties to the east and west , including areas around the Great Lakes . This central part of the state had the highest concentration of enslaved African Americans , whose labor supported the tobacco plantation economy . In the early decades of the nineteenth century , many families migrated from here to Missouri , carrying their culture , slaves , and crops with them , and establishing an area known as `` Little Dixie '' on the Missouri River . From the mid-19th century on , the city attracted many Irish and German Catholic immigrants , particularly beginning in 1848 . The Irish were fleeing the Great Famine , wherein the potato crop , the staple of the Irish diet , failed for multiple years . The Germans came after the Revolutions in the German states of 1848 . The Germans created a beer industry in the city , and both communities were part of increasing industrialization . These cities became Democratic strongholds after the Whig Party dissolved . Religion and the Great Awakening ( edit ) The Second Great Awakening , based in part on the Kentucky frontier , was the cause of a rapid growth in church members . Revivals and missionaries converted many previously unchurched folk , and drew them into the Baptist , Methodist , Presbyterian and Christian churches . In August 1801 at the Cane Ridge Meeting House in Bourbon County , as part of what is now known as the `` Western Revival '' , thousands of religious seekers under the leadership of Presbyterian preacher Barton W. Stone came to the meeting house . Preaching , singing and converting went on for a week until both humans and horses ran out of food . Baptists ( edit ) Main article : History of Baptists in Kentucky The Baptists flourished in Kentucky . Many had immigrated as a body from Virginia . For example , the Upper Spottsylvania Baptist congregation left Virginia and reached central Kentucky in September 1781 as a group of 500 to 600 people called `` The Travelling Church '' . Some were slaveholders ; among the slaves was Peter Durrett , who helped Capt . William Ellis guide the party . Held by Rev. Joseph Craig , Durrett was a Baptist preacher and part of Craig 's congregation in 1784 . About 1790 he founded the First African Baptist Church in Lexington , the oldest black Baptist congregation in Kentucky and the third oldest in the United States . His successor , London Ferrill , led the church for decades and was so popular in Lexington that his funeral was said to be second in size only to that of the statesman Henry Clay . By 1850 the First African Baptist Church was the largest church in Kentucky , black or white . Many anti-slavery Virginians moved to Kentucky as well , making the new state a battleground over slavery . Churches and friends divided over the issue of the immorality of slaveholding ; in Kentucky the antislavery position was marginalized both politically and geographically . Emancipationist Baptists created their own churches in Kentucky around antislavery principles . While emancipationists viewed their cause as one with republican ideals of virtue , the proslavery Baptists insisted there was a boundary between church and state ; this allowed them to define slavery as a civil matter . The proslavery position , based on the importance of slave labor on many plantations , became the dominant Baptist belief in Kentucky . Emancipationist leadership declined through death and emigration , and Baptists in the Upper South healed rifts in their churches and associations . Disciples ( edit ) In the 1830s , Barton W. Stone ( 1772 -- 1844 ) founded the Christian Church ( Disciples of Christ ) , when his followers joined with the followers of Alexander Campbell . Stone broke with his Presbyterian background to form the new sect that rejected Calvinism , required weekly communion and the baptism of adults , accepted the Bible as the source of truth , and sought to restore the values of primitive Christianity . New Madrid earthquakes ( 1811 -- 1812 ) ( edit ) Main article : 1811 -- 12 New Madrid earthquakes This section does not cite any sources . Please help improve this section by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( July 2016 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) In late 1811 and early 1812 , Western Kentucky was heavily damaged by a series of earthquakes collectively referred to as the New Madrid earthquake . It included the largest recorded earthquake in the contiguous United States . These earthquakes caused the Mississippi River to change course . War of 1812 ( edit ) Isaac Shelby came out of retirement to lead a squadron of Kentuckians into battle . Over 20,000 Kentuckians served in the various militia units . They played a major role in the west and in the victories in Canada . Mexican - American war ( 1846 -- 1848 ) ( edit ) In 1846 Kentucky paid close attention to the Mexican -- American War . Some citizens enthusiastically supported the war , at least in part because residents believed victory would bring new lands for the expansion of slavery . Others -- especially Whigs , who followed Henry Clay , opposed the war and refused to participate . The quest for honor was especially important , as a rising generation sought their self - identity and a link with heroic ancestors . The state easily met its quota of 2500 volunteer troops in 1846 and 1847 . Although the war 's popularity declined after a year or two , clear majorities supported it throughout . Kentuckian units won praise at the battles of Monterey and Buena Vista . Although many took sick , few died . Gaining honor and glory , as well as emotional maturity and a sense of the world at large , Kentucky units returned home in triumph . The war weakened the Whig Party ( United States ) and the Democratic Party rose to dominance in the state during this period . It was particularly powerful in the Bluegrass Region and other areas that were developed as plantations and horse breeding farms , where planters held the highest number of slaves in the state . 1848 -- largest `` slave uprising '' in Kentucky History ( edit ) Edward James `` Patrick '' Doyle , was an Irishman who sought to profit from slavery in Kentucky . Doyle was a shady , mercenary character who , prior to 1848 , had been arrested in Louisville and charged with attempting to sell free blacks into slavery . Having failed in this effort , Doyle looked to make a profit by offering his services to runaway slaves . Requiring payment from each slave , Doyle agreed to guide runaways to freedom . In 1848 , he attempted to lead a group of 75 African - American runaway slaves to Ohio . Though this incident has been categorized by some as a slave uprising -- `` the largest single slave uprising in Kentucky history '' -- it was not actually an uprising . The incident was an attempted mass escape . `` The armed runaway slaves went from Fayette County to Bracken County before being confronted by General Lucius Desha of Harrison County , along with his 100 white male followers . After an exchange of gunfire , 40 African - American slaves ran into the woods , and were never caught . The others were captured and jailed , including Patrick Doyle . Doyle was sentenced to twenty years of hard labor in the state penitentiary by the Fayette Circuit Court for leading the largest mass escape in Kentucky History . The captured slaves were returned to their owners . 1855 -- bloody Monday : Know - Nothing riots in Louisville ( edit ) With the rise of Irish , German , and Catholic immigrants , the white Protestants of English origin of Louisville started to take matters into their own hands . August 6 , 1855 , Bloody Monday , happened in Louisville , Kentucky on an election day . Protestant members of the Know - Nothing political party attacked German , Irish , and Catholic neighborhoods , assaulting individuals , burning and looting . These riots grew out of the bitter rivalry between the Democrats and the nativist Know - Nothing Party . Multiple street fights raged , leaving 22 to over a 100 people dead , scores injured , and lots of property was destroyed by fire . Five people were later indicted , but none were convicted , and the victims were never compensated . Kentucky in the American Civil war ( 1861 -- 1865 ) ( edit ) Main articles : Kentucky in the American Civil War and Confederate Heartland Offensive By 1860 , the population of the state had reached 1,115,684 ; of this number , 25 % was slaves , concentrated in the Bluegrass Region and Louisville and Lexington . Louisville had been a major slave market , and shipped many slaves downriver to the Deep South and New Orleans for sale or delivery . Kentucky also had strong trade relations to both the east and western regions , reinforced by a shifting of trade from the rivers to the railroads and Great Lakes . Many Kentucky residents had migrated south to Tennessee and west to Missouri , creating familial ties to those regions . The state voted against secession and remained loyal to the Union , although there were disputes among numerous residents . Kentucky was a border state during the American Civil War . The state was officially neutral until a new legislature took office on August 5 , 1861 with strong Union sympathies . The majority of the Commonwealth 's citizens also had strong Union sympathies . On September 4 , 1861 , Confederate General Leonidas Polk broke Kentucky 's neutrality by invading Columbus , Kentucky . As a result of the Confederate invasion , Union General Ulysses S. Grant entered Paducah , Kentucky . On September 7 , 1861 , the Kentucky State Legislature , angered by the Confederate invasion , ordered the Union flag to be raised over the state capitol in Frankfort , declaring its allegiance with the Union . In November 1861 , during the Russellville Convention , Southern sympathizers attempted to establish an alternative state government with the goal of secession but failed to displace the legitimate government in Frankfort . On August 13 , 1862 , Confederate General Edmund Kirby Smith 's Army of East Tennessee invaded Kentucky and on August 28 , 1862 , Confederate General Braxton Bragg 's Army of Mississippi entered Kentucky , beginning the Kentucky Campaign ( also known as the Confederate Heartland Offensive ) . The Confederates won the bloody Battle of Perryville , but Bragg retreated because he was in an exposed position . Kentucky stayed under Union control for the remainder of the war . Reconstruction to world war I ( 1865 -- 1914 ) ( edit ) Reconstruction ( edit ) Although Kentucky was a slave state , it had not seceded and was not subject to military occupation during the Reconstruction Period . It was subject to the Freedmen 's Bureau oversight of new labor contracts and work to institute free labor . A congressional investigation was undertaken because of issues raised about the propriety of its elected officials . During the election of 1865 , ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment was a major political issue . Kentucky eventually rejected the Thirteenth , Fourteenth , and Fifteenth amendments but had to implement them when they were ratified . Democrats prevailed in the election , and one of their first acts was to repeal the Expatriation Act of 1862 , restoring the citizenship of former Confederates . Postwar violence ( edit ) After the war , the Ku Klux Klan had numerous chapters as insurgent group in Kentucky , as some people sought to re-establish white supremacy by intimidation and violence against freedmen and free blacks . Even after its suppression by the federal government in the early 1870s , between 1867 and 1871 , the Frankfort Weekly Commonwealth newspaper reported 115 incidents of shooting , lynching , and whipping of blacks by whites . In 1866 , Gallatin County experienced a race riot , where a band of 500 whites forcibly removed hundreds of Blacks out of the county . In the 1870s , Willis Russell of Owen County , a US Marshal , fought against a Ku Klux Klan band who were terrorizing Black folks and their white allies in Franklin , Henry , and Owen counties . Feuds ( edit ) Kentucky became internationally known in the late 19th century for its violent feuds , especially in the eastern Appalachian mountain communities . The men in extended clans were pitted against each other for decades , often using assassination and arson as weapons , along with ambushes , gunfights , and pre-arranged shootouts . Some of the feuds were continuations of violent local Civil War episodes . Journalists often wrote about the violence . Using stereotypes that city folks had developed about Appalachia ; they interpreted the feuds as the inevitable product of profound ignorance , poverty , and isolation , and perhaps interbreeding . The leading participants were typically well - to - do local elites with networks of clients who fought on the local level for political power . Gilded Age ( edit ) During the Gilded Age , the women 's suffrage movement took force in Kentucky . Laura Clay , daughter of noted abolitionist Cassius Clay , was the most prominent leader . At the same time a prohibition movement began , which was challenged by the distillers ( based in the Bluegrass ) and the saloonkeepers ( based in the cities ) . Kentucky 's hemp industry declined as manila became the world 's primary source of rope fiber . This led to an increase in tobacco production , which was already the largest cash crop of Kentucky . The first city to start using the Australian secret ballot in the United States was Louisville , Kentucky . The Australian ballot law was introduced by A.M. Wallace of Louisville , and enacted February 24 , 1888 . The act applied only to the city of Louisville , because the state constitution required viva voce voting at state elections . The mayor printed the ballots , and candidates had to be nominated by 50 or more voters in order to have their names placed upon the ballot . The blanket form of the ballot was used , with the names of the candidates arranged in alphabetical order according to surnames , but without any political party designations of any kind . 1900 -- assassination of governor Goebel ( edit ) In 1860 -- 1900 German immigrants settled in cities in northern Kentucky , especially Louisville . The most famous ethnic - German leader in the late 19th century was William Goebel ( 1856 -- 1900 ) . From his base in Covington , he became a state senator in 1887 , fought the railroads , and took control of the state Democratic party in the mid-1890s . Goebel 's 1895 election law took control of vote counting away from local officials and gave it to officials controlled by the Assembly , which the Democrats controlled . He used that power to be certified as governor in 1900 . The apparent election of William S. Taylor as governor on the Republican ticket in 1899 was an unexpected turn of events . The Kentucky Senate formed a special Committee of Inquiry packed with Democratic members . As it became apparent to Taylor 's supporters that the committee would decide in favor of Goebel , they raised an armed force . On January 19 , 1900 , more than 1,500 armed civilians took possession of the Capitol . For more than two weeks , the United States watched as the Commonwealth of Kentucky slid towards civil war . The presiding governor declared martial law and activated the official Kentucky militia . On January 30 , 1900 , Goebel , accompanied by two bodyguards , was shot by a sniper as he approached the Capitol . Though mortally wounded , Goebel was sworn in as Governor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky the next day . Goebel died from his wounds on February 3 , 1900 . For nearly four months after Governor Goebel 's death , Kentucky had two officials functioning as the commonwealth 's chief executive : Republican Taylor , who insisted he was the governor , and Democrat J.C.W. Beckham , running mate of Governor Goebel , who was sworn in when the latter died . Beckham requested federal aid to determine Kentucky 's chief executive . The U.S. Supreme Court finally reached a decision on May 26 , 1900 , upholding the Commission 's ruling that Goebel was Kentucky 's governor . Since his lieutenant governor ( Beckham ) had followed Kentucky 's line of succession , Beckham was now governor . Immediately following the court 's decision , Taylor fled to Indiana . He was later indicted as one of the conspirators in the assassination . Attempts to extradite him failed , and Taylor remained in Indiana until he died . Realizing how close they came to civil war , Kentucky leaders calmed the voters and managed to finish the decade with less heat and little violence . Growth of coal industry and migrations ( edit ) This section does not cite any sources . Please help improve this section by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( July 2016 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) See also : History of coal mining in the United States The coal industry expanded rapidly in the state around the start of the 20th century and World War I . Many Kentuckians made the change from subsistence farming to coal mining , particularly in the Appalachian region where large deposits of coal were found . While coal mines provided new jobs , conditions were harsh for workers and the mining created environmental problems . Many African - Americans left the state for better - paying jobs in manufacturing and industrial cities in the Midwest as part of the Great Migration . Rural whites also moved to industrial cities . World Wars and interwar period ( 1914 -- 1945 ) ( edit ) World war I and the 1920s ( edit ) Like the rest of the country , Kentucky experienced dramatic inflation during the war years . Much infrastructure was created ; the state built many roads to accommodate the increasing popularity of the automobile . The war also led to the clear cutting of thousands of acres of Kentucky timber . The tobacco and whiskey industries had boom years during the teens , although Prohibition , beginning in 1920 , seriously harmed the economy when the Eighteenth Amendment took effect . German citizens had established the beer industry in Kentucky , which already had a liquor industry based on bourbon , and vineyards established in the 18th century in Middle Tennessee . Prohibition resulted in resistance and widespread bootlegging , which continued into the middle of the century . Some Eastern Kentucky rural and mountain residents made their own liquor in `` moonshine '' stills , selling some of it across the state . In the 1920s the progressives focused their attacks on gambling . The anti-gambling crusade sprang from the religious attack on machine politics led by Helm Bruce and the Louisville Churchmen 's Federation . The reformers had their greatest support in rural Kentucky , with support from the second Ku Klux Klan and Fundamentalist Protestant clergymen . In its revival after 1915 , the KKK supported some general social issues , identifying as a fraternal organization concerned with people 's welfare . Congressman Alben W. Barkley became the political spokesman of the anti-gambling group and nearly secured the Democratic gubernatorial nomination in 1923 ; he also crusaded against the mining special interests that had so much power in eastern Kentucky . In 1926 Barkely was popularly elected to the U.S. Senate , as he had established his name and attracted support for his positions . Barkley became US Senate leader for the Democrats in 1937 . Active in the national party , he ran for vice president with incumbent President Harry S. Truman in 1948 . In 1927 former governor J.C.W. Beckham won the Democratic party 's nomination as the anti-gambling candidate . Urban Democrats deserted Beckham , however , and Republican Flem Sampson was elected . Beckham 's defeat marked the end of the Progressive movement in Kentucky . The Great depression ( edit ) Like the rest of the country and much of the world , Kentucky faced great difficulty with the arrival of the Great Depression in the late 1920s to early 1930s . There was widespread unemployment and little economic growth . The people of Harlan County fought in the first Harlan County Coal War , against the coal owners . Unions would eventually be established , and working conditions improved immediately . On the other hand , New Deal programs greatly improved the educational system in the state and led to the construction and improvement of a great deal of infrastructure . The creation of roads , construction of telephone lines , and rural electrification were significant developments for the state . The creation of the Kentucky Dam and its hydroelectric power plant greatly improved the lives of Western Kentuckians . Both the Cumberland River and the Mississippi River saw extensive improvements in navigability and flood control . The 1938 Democratic Senate primary featured an intense showdown between Barkley , liberal spokesman for the New Deal , and conservative governor Happy Chandler . The governor was a gifted public speaker , combining voice control , emotionalism , and singing with an unusual ability to personalize his speeches . He could remember everyone 's name , and in turn they became emotionally involved in his campaign speeches . Barkley 's methodical campaigning was bolstered by President Franklin D. Roosevelt 's strong endorsement . Barkley handily defeated Chandler , with 56 % of the vote . Farmers , labor unions , and city machines gave Barkley his margin , a vote which reaffirmed the popularity of the New Deal in Kentucky . Only a few months later , Chandler was appointed to the state 's other Senate seat upon the death of Senator Mills Logan . The 1937 flood ( edit ) Main article : Ohio River flood of 1937 Beginning in January 1937 , the Ohio River was in various flood stages for three months . The flood led to river fires when oil tanks in Cincinnati , Ohio were destroyed in the flood . In Kentucky , one - third of Kenton and Campbell counties were submerged , and 70 % of Louisville was under water for over a week . Paducah , Owensboro , and other Purchase area cities were devastated . Damages from the flood ( nationwide ) totaled twenty million dollars without adjusting for inflation . It led to extensive flood prevention efforts in the Purchase area , including the distinctive flood wall at Paducah . Kentucky in world war II ( edit ) Domestic economy ( edit ) For Kentucky , World War II signified the increased importance of industry and decreased importance of agriculture for the state 's economy . The war led to expansion of Fort Knox as well as the creation of an ordinance plant in Louisville . Louisville became the world 's largest source of artificial rubber . Shipyards at Jeffersonville and elsewhere generated numerous skilled jobs . Louisville 's Ford manufacturing center produced almost 100,000 Jeeps during the war . The war also led to a greater demand for higher education , as technical skills were more in demand both during the war and afterwards . Rose Will Monroe , one of the models for `` Rosie the Riveter , '' was a native of Pulaski County . Kentuckians in the war ( edit ) Husband Kimmel of Henderson County commanded the Pacific Fleet . Sixty - six men from Harrodsburg were on the Bataan Death March . Edgar Erskine Hume of Frankfort served as the military governor of Rome after its capture . Kentucky native Franklin Sousley was depicted in the photograph showing the raising of the flag at Iwo Jima . As a prisoner of war , Harrodsburg resident John Sadler witnessed the atomic bombing of Nagasaki , Japan . Seven Kentuckians received the Medal of Honor . 7,917 Kentuckians died during the war ; 306,364 served . 1945 -- 1980 ( edit ) In the years afterward , the Interstate Highway System helped connect even the most remote areas of Kentucky to one another . Progressive , solid , and unspectacular , Democrat Lawrence W. Wetherby served as governor during 1950 -- 55 . As lieutenant governor under Earle Clements , he was out of the limelight . After Clements moved on to the US Senate , Wetherby took over and was elected to his own term in 1951 , emphasizing the themes of roads , tourism , and economic development . One of the few Southern governors who worked to carry out desegregation after the Brown Decision in 1954 , Wetherby 's administration ran into a string of bad luck and its candidate for governor , Bert T. Combs , was defeated by Happy Chandler in 1955 . Agriculture , though still important , was supplanted in many areas by industry . By 1970 , Kentucky had more urban residents than rural residents . Although decreasing in overall importance , tobacco production remains an important part of the state economy , bolstered by New Deal legacy that gives financial advantages to holders of tobacco allotments . In the 1950s , 13 % of Kentuckians migrated out of state largely for economic reasons . Dwight Yoakam 's song `` Readin ' , Rightin ' , Route 23 '' is named after a local expression describing the route that rural Kentuckians took to find a job outside of the coal mines . ( U.S. Route 23 runs north from Kentucky through Columbus and Toledo , Ohio and through the automotive centers of Michigan . ) Rather than the standard line that their elementary schools taught `` the three Rs '' of `` Readin ' , ' Ritin ' , and ' Rithmetic '' , Kentuckians used to say that the three Rs they learned were `` Readin ' , ' Ritin ' , and Route 23 North '' . Civil Rights ( edit ) During the 1960s , as a result of successful local sit - ins during the Civil Rights Movement , the Woolworth 's Store in Lexington ended practices of segregation at its lunch counter and in restrooms . This was part of an era of activist efforts to achieve integration . Due to demographic and economic changes , Woolworth went out of business in 1990 . Built in 1946 by architect Frederick W. Garber , the historic building was demolished in 2004 . The site was paved for a parking lot . Democratic Governor Edward Thompson `` Ned '' Breathitt , Jr. , took pride in his civil rights leadership as governor 1963 -- 67 . In Kentucky 's 1963 Gubernatorial campaign between Republican Louis Broady Nunn and Democrat Ned Breathitt , racial integration was a major campaign issue . During the campaign , Nunn attacked the Fair Services Executive Order signed by Bertram Thomas Combs ( and three other governors , after conferencing with President John F. Kennedy ) . The Fair Services Executive Order desegregated public accommodations in Kentucky , as well as making state contracts free from discrimination . Nunn , on broadcast television , promised Kentuckians that his `` first act will be to abolish '' the Fair Services Executive Order . The New Republic charged that Nunn ran `` the first outright segregationist campaign in Kentucky . '' Breathitt vowed to support a bill to eliminate legal discrimination . Breathitt wound up winning the general election by 13,000 votes . At the urging of President Lyndon B. Johnson , Breathitt led the National Governors Conference in supporting the Civil Rights Act of 1964 . Johnson later appointed Breathitt to the `` To Secure These Rights '' commission , charged with implementing the Act . After Breathitt was elected Governor of Kentucky , the state civil rights bill was introduced to the General Assembly in 1964 , but was buried in committee , and was never voted on . `` There was a great deal of racial prejudice existing at that time , '' said Julian Carroll . A rally in support of Kentucky 's proposed 1964 civil rights bill saw 10,000 Kentuckians in attendance , including Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. , Jackie Robinson , Ralph Abernathy , and folk musicians Peter , Paul , and Mary . In January 1966 , Breathitt signed `` the most comprehensive civil rights act ever passed by any state south of the Ohio River in the history of this nation . '' Martin Luther King Jr. concurred with Breathitt 's assessment of Kentucky 's sweeping legislation , quoting as describing it as `` the strongest and most important comprehensive civil - rights bill passed by a Southern state . '' Kentucky 's 1966 Civil Rights Act ended racial discrimination in bathrooms , restaurants , swimming pools , and other public places throughout the Commonwealth . Racist discrimination was also outlawed in employment and it empowered Kentucky cities to enact local laws against housing discrimination . The legislature also repeals all `` dead - letter '' segregation laws , such as the 62 - year - old Day Law , on the recommendation of Rep. Jesse Warders , a Louisville Republican and the only black member of the General Assembly . The 1966 Act also gave the Kentucky Commission on Human Rights authority to resolve discrimination complaints with enforceable repercussions for acts of discrimination . Breathitt said that the civil rights legislation would have passed without him . He thought his opposition to strip mining had more to do with the demise of his political career than his support for civil rights . 1968 black power riot ( edit ) Two months after Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated , Louisville 's West End rioted . On May 27 , 1968 , a protest against police brutality was happening at Twenty - eighth and Greenwood Streets that eventually turned violent when the Louisville police jumped out of their cars with their guns already drawn . Louie B. Nunn called out the National Guard . 472 arrests were made , $200,000 in damages happened , and James Groves Jr , 14 , and Washington Browder , 19 , were murdered . Washington Browder had a fish sandwich still clutched in his hand when found on the sidewalk , shot dead , by a business owner . James Groves Jr. was shot in the back , after supposedly looting during the riots . 1970 UK anti-vietnam war riots ( edit ) On May 5 , 1970 , one day after the Kent State shootings , University of Kentucky students burned down the ROTC building in protest against the Vietnam War and the Kent State shootings . Louie B. Nunn calls out the National Guard and the KSP to enforce a 7 : 00 pm curfew after activists failed to heed UK President Otis Singletary 's 5 : 00 pm executive curfew edict . Reconstruction Amendments ratified ( edit ) On March 18 , 1976 , to correct a historical oversight , Kentucky finally ratified the 13th , 14th , and 15th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution , also known as the Reconstruction Amendments , with the signing of House Resolution 75 by Governor Julian Carroll . Mae Street Kidd , a legislator from Louisville , campaigned for the passage of the three Reconstruction Amendments . 1981 -- present ( edit ) Martha Layne Collins served as Kentucky 's first woman governor from 1983 to 1987 and cochaired the Democratic National Convention in 1984 . Prior to that , Collins had been a schoolteacher and party worker for the state 's Democrats at all levels . She was elected and served as lieutenant governor from 1979 to 1983 . In 1983 , she defeated Jim Bunning for the governorship . Throughout her public life she emphasized education and economic development ; a feminist , she viewed all issues as `` women 's issues . '' She took special pride in having procured the Toyota plant for Georgetown , Kentucky , bringing substantial jobs to the state . In June 1989 , federal prosecutors revealed that 70 men , mostly from Marion County but also two adjacent counties , Nelson and Washington , were arrested for organizing a marijuana trafficking ring , dubbed by the authorities as the `` Cornbread Mafia '' because members of their syndicate called marijuana , `` cornbread '' , that stretched across the midwest . In 1990 , Wallace G. Wilkinson signed Kentucky Education Reform Act ( KERA ) , overhauling Kentucky 's universal public education system , and winning praise nationally for doing so . Paul E. Patton , a Democrat , was the first governor eligible via constitutional change to succeed himself . Winning a close race in 1995 , he benefited from economic good times and succeeded with most of his initiatives and priorities . After winning reelection by a large margin in 1999 , Patton suffered from the state 's economic reversal . He lost credibility as well from public exposure of an extramarital affair . Near the end of his second term , Patton was accused of abusing his patronage powers . He was criticized for pardoning four former supporters who had been convicted of violating the state 's campaign finance laws . Patton 's successor , Ernie Fletcher , was one of the few Republicans elected to the office , serving from 2003 to 2007 . In 2000 , the state ranked 49th in the percentage of women serving in state or national political offices . The traditional system has favored `` old boys '' thanks to political elites , incumbency , and long - entrenched political networks . Democrat Steve Beshear was elected as governor in 2007 and for a second term in 2011 . State constitutional term limits mean that he can not run again in 2015 . First state to adopt Common Core ( edit ) Kentucky was the first state in the U.S. to adopt Common Core , after the General Assembly passed legislation in April 2009 , under Governor Steve Beshear , that set the foundation for the new national standards . In fall 2010 , Kentucky 's state board of education voted to adopt them Common Core verbatim . Kentucky was the first of 45 states to adopt the Common Core , making the Bluegrass state a national test case for Common Core . Since Kentucky was the first state in the US to implement Common Core , $17.5 million was received by the state government from the Gates Foundation . First Southern state to implement Obamacare ( edit ) Kentucky implemented `` Obamacare '' -- expanded Medicaid and starting Kynect.com -- in late 2013 . `` Kentucky is the only Southern state both expanding Medicaid and operating a state - based exchange , '' Governor Steve Beshear wrote in an oped letter to the New York Times where he spelled out his case for the implementation of Obamacare in Kentucky . `` ( Kentucky ) ranks among the worst , if not the worst , in almost every major health category , including smoking , cancer deaths , preventable hospitalizations , premature death , heart disease and diabetes . Right now , 640,000 people in Kentucky are uninsured . That 's almost one in six Kentuckians . '' A study by PricewaterhouseCoopers and the Urban Studies Institute at the University of Louisville concluded that expanding Medicaid `` would inject $15.6 billion into Kentucky 's economy over the next eight years , create almost 17,000 new jobs , have an $802.4 million positive budget impact ( by transferring certain expenditures from the state to the federal government , among other things ) , protect hospitals from cuts in indigent care funding and shield businesses from up to $48 million in annual penalties . '' By October 2014 , Kentucky saw a 42 % drop in uninsured Kentuckians . 521,000 Kentuckians signed up for healthcare using Kynect.com , Kentucky 's state healthcare exchange website . Three out of every four people who purchased a private plan through Kynect.com got some kind of financial assistance , and about 75 % of everybody who signed up had not had coverage before . `` It 's probably the most important decision I will get to make as governor because of the long - term impact it will have , '' said Steve Beshear . First state to legally raise hemp ( edit ) Further information : Hemp in Kentucky On April 19 , 2013 , Kentucky legalized Hemp when Governor Steve Beshear refused to sign or veto Senate Bill 50 , allowing the state law to go into effect . Beshear had been one of the last obstacles blocking SB50 from becoming law . Under federal law , hemp is a Schedule 1 narcotic , just like PCP and heroin , in spite of the fact that hemp typically only has 0.3 percent THC , compared to the three percent to 22 percent usually found in marijuana . The Schedule 1 designation was exempted for Kentucky 's pilot hemp research projects when the federal Farm Bill ( a.k.a. The Agricultural Act of 2014 ) was passed . On May 27 , 2014 , the University of Kentucky planted the second legal hemp crop in Kentucky . The first crop plot was planted earlier in May of the same year at Murray State University using California seeds . With these plantings , Kentucky became the first state in America to begin hemp production . Katie Moyer , a farmer in Christian County raising hemp , boasted that hemp crops stop soil erosion . In 2015 , Kentucky 's Department of Agriculture received 326 applications . The Department of Agriculture is responsible for approving applications . All applicants must submit a business plan , as well as pass a background check to appease the Drug Enforcement Administration ( DEA ) .

The New Testament discusses the teachings and person of Jesus , as well as events in first - century Christianity . Christians regard both the Old and New Testaments together as sacred scripture . The New Testament ( in whole or in part ) has frequently accompanied the spread of Christianity around the world . It reflects and serves as a source for Christian theology and morality . Extended readings and phrases directly from the New Testament are incorporated ( along with readings from the Old Testament ) into the various Christian liturgies . The New Testament has influenced religious , philosophical , and political movements in Christendom and left an indelible mark on literature , art , and music . The New Testament is a collection of Christian works written in the common ( Koine ) Greek language of the first century , at different times by various writers , and the modern consensus is that it provides important evidence regarding Judaism in the first century AD . In almost all Christian traditions today , the New Testament consists of 27 books . The original texts were written in the first and perhaps the second centuries of the Christian Era , in Greek , which was the common language of the Eastern Mediterranean from the conquests of Alexander the Great ( 335 -- 323 BC ) until the Muslim conquests in the 7th century AD . All the works that eventually became incorporated into the New Testament are believed to have been written no later than around 120 AD , . John A.T. Robinson , Dan Wallace , and William F. Albright dated all the books of the New Testament before 70 AD . Others give a final date of 80 AD , or at 96 AD . Collections of related texts such as letters of the Apostle Paul ( a major collection of which must have been made already by the early 2nd century ) and the Canonical Gospels of Matthew , Mark , Luke , and John ( asserted by Irenaeus of Lyon in the late - 2nd century as the Four Gospels ) gradually were joined to other collections and single works in different combinations to form various Christian canons of Scripture . Over time , some disputed books , such as the Book of Revelation and the Minor Catholic ( General ) Epistles were introduced into canons in which they were originally absent . Other works earlier held to be Scripture , such as 1 Clement , the Shepherd of Hermas , and the Diatessaron , were excluded from the New Testament . The Old Testament canon is not completely uniform among all major Christian groups including Roman Catholics , Protestants , the Greek Orthodox Church , the Slavic Orthodox Churches , and the Armenian Orthodox Church . However , the twenty - seven - book canon of the New Testament , at least since Late Antiquity , has been almost universally recognized within Christianity ( see Development of the New Testament canon ) . The New Testament consists of : Four narratives of the life , teaching , death and resurrection of Jesus called `` gospel '' or the good news . A narrative of the Apostle ministries in the early church , called the `` Acts of the Apostles '' , and probably written by the same writer as the Gospel of Luke , which it continues ; Twenty - one letters , often called `` epistles '' from Greek `` epistole '' , written by various authors , and consisting of Christian doctrine , counsel , instruction , and conflict resolution ; and An Apocalypse , the Book of Revelation , which is a book of prophecy , containing some instructions to seven local congregations of Asia Minor , but mostly containing prophetical symbology , about the end times .

( February 2016 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The term `` new testament '' ( Koine Greek : Ἡ Καινὴ Διαθήκη , Hē Kainḕ Diathḗkē ) , or `` new covenant '' ( Hebrew בְּרִית חֲדָשָׁה bərîṯ ḥăḏāšâ ) first occurs in Jeremiah 31 : 31 ( Greek Septuagint καινὴ διαθήκη kainḕ diathḗkē , cited in Hebrews 8 : 8 ) . The same Greek phrase for `` new covenant '' is found elsewhere in the New Testament ( Luke 22 : 20 , 1 Corinthians 11 : 25 , 2 Corinthians 3 : 6 , Hebrews 8 : 8 , and Hebrews 9 : 15 ; cf. 2 Corinthians 3 : 14 ) . In early Bible translations into Latin , the phrase was rendered foedus , `` federation '' , in Jeremiah 31 : 31 , and was rendered testamentum in Hebrews 8 : 8 and other instances from which comes the English term `` New Testament . '' Modern English , like Latin , distinguishes testament and covenant as alternative translations , and consequently the treatment of the term διαθήκη diathḗkē varies in Bible translations into English . John Wycliffe 's 1395 version is a translation of the Latin Vulgate and so follows different terms in Jeremiah and Hebrews : Lo ! days shall come , saith the Lord , and I shall make a new covenant ( from Latin foedus ) with the house of Israel , and with the house of Judah . For he reproving him saith , Lo ! days come , saith the Lord , when I shall establish a new testament ( from Latin testamentum ) on the house of Israel , and on the house of Judah . Use of the term New Testament to describe a collection of first and second - century Christian Greek Scriptures can be traced back to Tertullian ( in Against Praxeas 15 ) . In Against Marcion , written circa 208 AD , he writes of the Divine Word , who is doubly edged with the two testaments of the law and the gospel . And Tertullian continues later in the book , writing : it is certain that the whole aim at which he ( Marcion ) has strenuously laboured , even in the drawing up of his Antitheses , centres in this , that he may establish a diversity between the Old and the New Testaments , so that his own Christ may be separate from the Creator , as belonging to this rival god , and as alien from the law and the prophets . By the 4th century , the existence -- even if not the exact contents -- of both an Old and New Testament had been established . Lactantius , a 3rd -- 4th century Christian author wrote in his early - 4th - century Latin Institutiones Divinae ( Divine Institutes ) : But all scripture is divided into two Testaments . That which preceded the advent and passion of Christ -- that is , the law and the prophets -- is called the Old ; but those things which were written after His resurrection are named the New Testament . The Jews make use of the Old , we of the New : but yet they are not discordant , for the New is the fulfilling of the Old , and in both there is the same testator , even Christ , who , having suffered death for us , made us heirs of His everlasting kingdom , the people of the Jews being deprived and disinherited . As the prophet Jeremiah testifies when he speaks such things : `` Behold , the days come , saith the Lord , that I will make a new testament to the house of Israel and the house of Judah , not according to the testament which I made to their fathers , in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt ; for they continued not in my testament , and I disregarded them , saith the Lord . '' ... For that which He said above , that He would make a new testament to the house of Judah , shows that the old testament which was given by Moses was not perfect ; but that which was to be given by Christ would be complete .

( February 2016 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) See also : Christian biblical canons , Development of the New Testament canon , New Testament apocrypha , and Template : Books of the New Testament The canon of the New Testament is the collection of books that most Christians regard as divinely inspired and constituting the New Testament of the Christian Biblical Canon . In the period extending roughly from 50 to 150 AD , a number of documents began to circulate among the churches , including epistles , gospel accounts , memoirs , prophecies , homilies , and collections of teachings . While some of these documents were apostolic in origin , others drew upon the tradition the apostles and ministers of the word had utilized in their individual missions , and still others represented a summation of the teaching entrusted to a particular church center . Several of these writings sought to extend , interpret , and apply apostolic teaching to meet the needs of Christians in a given locality . In general , among Christian denominations the New Testament canon came to be agreed - upon as a list of 27 books , although the order of the books can vary from one version of the printed scriptures to the next . The book order is the same in the Greek Orthodox , Roman Catholic , and Protestant traditions . The Slavonic , Armenian and Ethiopian traditions have different New Testament book orders . The Gospels ( edit ) Main article : Canonical gospels Each of the four gospels in the New Testament narrates the life , death , and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth . The word `` gospel '' derives from the Old English gōd - spell ( rarely godspel ) , meaning `` good news '' or `` glad tidings '' . The gospel was considered the `` good news '' of the coming Kingdom of Messiah , and the redemption through the life and death of Jesus , the central Christian message . Gospel is a calque ( word - for - word translation ) of the Greek word εὐαγγέλιον , euangelion ( eu - `` good '' , - angelion `` message '' ) . Since the 2nd century , the four narrative accounts of the life and work of Jesus Christ have been referred to as `` The Gospel of ... '' or `` The Gospel according to ... '' followed by the name of the supposed author . Whatever these admittedly early ascriptions may imply about the sources behind or the perception of these gospels , they are anonymous compositions . The Gospel of Matthew , ascribed to the Apostle Matthew . This gospel begins with a genealogy of Jesus and a story of his birth that includes a visit from magi and a flight into Egypt , and it ends with the commissioning of the disciples by the resurrected Jesus . The Gospel of Mark , ascribed to Mark the Evangelist . This gospel begins with the preaching of John the Baptist and the baptism of Jesus . Two different secondary endings were affixed to this gospel in the 2nd century . The Gospel of Luke , ascribed to Luke the Evangelist , who was not one of the Twelve Apostles , but was mentioned as a companion of the Apostle Paul and as a physician . This gospel begins with parallel stories of the birth and childhood of John the Baptist and Jesus and ends with appearances of the resurrected Jesus and his ascension into heaven . The Gospel of John , ascribed to John the Apostle . This gospel begins with a philosophical prologue and ends with appearances of the resurrected Jesus . It is about Jesus 's miracles . The first three gospels listed above are classified as the Synoptic Gospels . They contain similar accounts of the events in Jesus ' life and his teaching , due to their literary interdependence . The Gospel of John is structured differently and includes stories of several miracles of Jesus and sayings not found in the other three . These four gospels that were eventually included in the New Testament were only a few among many other early Christian gospels . The existence of such texts is even mentioned at the beginning of the Gospel of Luke . Other early Christian gospels such as the so - called `` Jewish - Christian Gospels '' or the Gospel of Thomas , also offer both a window into the context of early Christianity and may provide some assistance in the reconstruction of the historical Jesus . Acts of the Apostles ( edit ) The Acts of the Apostles is a narrative of the apostles ' ministry and activity after Christ 's death and resurrection , from which point it resumes and functions as a sequel to the Gospel of Luke . Examining style , phraseology , and other evidence , modern scholarship generally concludes that Acts and the Gospel of Luke share the same author , referred to as Luke -- Acts . Luke - Acts does not name its author . Church tradition identified him as Luke the Evangelist , the companion of Paul , but the majority of scholars reject this due to the many contradictions between Acts and the authentic Pauline letters . The most probable date of composition is around 80 -- 100 AD , and there is evidence that it was still being substantially revised well into the 2nd century . Epistles ( edit ) The epistles of the New Testament are considered by Christians to be divinely inspired and holy letters , written by the apostles and disciples of Christ , to either local congregations with specific needs , or to New Covenant Christians in general , scattered about ; or `` General Epistles . '' Pauline letters to churches ( edit ) Main article : Pauline epistles The Pauline epistles are the thirteen New Testament books that present Paul the Apostle as their author . Six of the letters are disputed . Four are thought by most modern scholars to be pseudepigraphic , i.e. , not actually written by Paul even if attributed to him within the letters themselves . Opinion is more divided on the other two disputed letters ( 2 Thessalonians and Colossians ) . These letters were written to Christian communities in specific cities or geographical regions , often to address issues faced by that particular community . Prominent themes include the relationship both to broader `` pagan '' society , to Judaism , and to other Christians . Epistle to the Romans First Epistle to the Corinthians Second Epistle to the Corinthians Epistle to the Galatians Epistle to the Ephesians Epistle to the Philippians Epistle to the Colossians First Epistle to the Thessalonians Second Epistle to the Thessalonians ( Disputed letters are marked with an asterisk ( * ) . ) Pauline letters to persons ( edit ) The last four Pauline letters in the New Testament are addressed to individual persons . They include the following : First Epistle to Timothy Second Epistle to Timothy Epistle to Titus Epistle to Philemon ( Disputed letters are marked with an asterisk ( * ) . ) All of the above except for Philemon are known as the Pastoral epistles . They are addressed to individuals charged with pastoral oversight of churches and discuss issues of Christian living , doctrine and leadership . They often address different concerns to those of the preceding epistles . These letters are believed by many to be pseudepigraphic . Some scholars ( e.g. , Bill Mounce , Ben Witherington ) will argue that the letters are genuinely Pauline , or at least written under Paul 's supervision . Hebrews ( edit ) The Epistle to the Hebrews addresses a Jewish audience who had come to believe that Jesus was the anointed one ( Hebrew : מָשִׁיחַ -- transliterated in English as `` Moshiach '' , or `` Messiah '' ; Greek : Χριστός -- transliterated in English as `` Christos '' , for `` Christ '' ) who was predicted in the writings of the Hebrew Bible . The author discusses the `` better - ness '' of the new covenant and the ministry of Jesus , over the Mosaic covenant and urges the readers in the practical implications of this conviction through the end of the epistle . The book has been widely accepted by the Christian church as inspired by God and thus authoritative , despite the acknowledgment of uncertainties about who its human author was . Regarding authorship , although the Epistle to the Hebrews does not internally claim to have been written by the Apostle Paul , some similarities in wordings to some of the Pauline Epistles have been noted and inferred . In antiquity , some began to ascribe it to Paul in an attempt to provide the anonymous work an explicit apostolic pedigree . In the 4th century , Jerome and Augustine of Hippo supported Paul 's authorship . The Church largely agreed to include Hebrews as the fourteenth letter of Paul , and affirmed this authorship until the Reformation . The letter to the Hebrews had difficulty in being accepted as part of the Christian canon because of its anonymity . As early as the 3rd century , Origen wrote of the letter , `` Men of old have handed it down as Paul 's , but who wrote the Epistle God only knows . '' Contemporary scholars often reject Pauline authorship for the epistle to the Hebrews , based on its distinctive style and theology , which are considered to set it apart from Paul 's writings . General epistles ( edit ) The General epistles ( or `` catholic epistles '' ) consist of both letters and treatises in the form of letters written to the church at large . The term `` catholic '' ( Greek : καθολική , katholikē ) , used to describe these letters in the oldest manuscripts containing them , here simply means `` general '' or `` universal '' . The authorship of a number of these is disputed . Epistle of James , written by an author named `` James '' , often identified with James , the brother of Jesus . First Epistle of Peter , ascribed to the Apostle Peter . Second Epistle of Peter , ascribed to the Apostle Peter , though widely considered not to have been written by him . First Epistle of John , ascribed to John the Apostle . Second Epistle of John , ascribed to John the Apostle . Third Epistle of John , ascribed to John the Apostle . Epistle of Jude , written under the name of Jude , the brother of Jesus and James . Book of Revelation ( edit ) Further information : Authorship of the Johannine works The final book of the New Testament is the Book of Revelation , also known as the Apocalypse of John . In the New Testament canon , it is considered prophetical or apocalyptic literature . Its authorship has been attributed either to John the Apostle ( in which case it is often thought that John the Apostle is John the Evangelist , i.e. author of the Gospel of John ) or to another John designated `` John of Patmos '' after the island where the text says the revelation was received ( 1 : 9 ) . Some ascribe the writership date as circa 81 -- 96 AD , and others at around 68 AD . The work opens with letters to seven churches and thereafter takes the form of an apocalypse , a literary genre popular in ancient Judaism and Christianity .

Some of the books are not listed in this table ; these include the Prayer of Euthalius , the Repose of St. John the Evangelist , the Doctrine of Addai , a reading from the Gospel of James , the Second Apostolic Canons , the Words of Justus , Dionysius Aeropagite , the Preaching of Peter , and a Poem by Ghazar . ( Various sources also mention undefined Armenian canonical additions to the Gospels of Mark and John , however , these may refer to the general additions -- Mark 16 : 9 -- 20 and John 7 : 53 -- 8 : 11 -- discussed elsewhere in these notes . ) A possible exception here to canonical exclusivity is the Second Apostolic Canons , which share a common source -- the Apostolic Constitutions -- with certain parts of the Orthodox Tewahedo New Testament broader canon . The Acts of Thaddeus was included in the biblical canon of Gregory of Tatev . There is some uncertainty about whether Armenian canon lists include the Doctrine of Addai or the related Acts of Thaddeus . Moreover , the correspondence between King Agbar and Jesus Christ , which is found in various forms -- including within both the Doctrine of Addai and the Acts of Thaddeus -- sometimes appears separately ( see list ) . The Prayer of Euthalius and the Repose of St. John the Evangelist appear in the appendix of the 1805 Armenian Zohrab Bible ; however , some of the aforementioned books , though they are found within canon lists , have nonetheless never been discovered to be part of any Armenian Biblical manuscript . Jump up ^ Though widely regarded as non-canonical , the Gospel of James obtained early liturgical acceptance among some Eastern churches and remains a major source for many of Christendom 's traditions related to Mary , the mother of Jesus . ^ Jump up to : The Diatessaron , Tatian 's gospel harmony , became a standard text in some Syriac - speaking churches down to the 5th century , when it gave - way to the four separate gospels found in the Peshitta . ^ Jump up to : Parts of these four books are not found in the most reliable ancient sources ; in some cases , are thought to be later additions , and have therefore not appeared historically in every Biblical tradition . They are as follows : Mark 16 : 9 -- 20 , John 7 : 53 -- 8 : 11 , the Comma Johanneum , and portions of the Western version of Acts . To varying degrees , arguments for the authenticity of these passages -- especially for the one from the Gospel of John -- have occasionally been made .

Some of the content within these individual sections may have developed separately . ^ Jump up to : These four works were questioned or `` spoken against '' by Martin Luther , and he changed the order of his New Testament to reflect this , but he did not leave them out , nor has any Lutheran body since . Traditional German Luther Bibles are still printed with the New Testament in this changed `` Lutheran '' order . The vast majority of Protestants embrace these four works as fully canonical . ^ Jump up to : The Peshitta excludes 2 John , 3 John , 2 Peter , Jude , and Revelation , but certain Bibles of the modern Syriac traditions include later translations of those books . Still today , the official lectionary followed by the Syriac Orthodox Church and the Assyrian Church of the East presents lessons from only the twenty - two books of Peshitta , the version to which appeal is made for the settlement of doctrinal questions . Jump up ^ The Third Epistle to the Corinthians often appears with and is framed as a response to the Epistle of the Corinthians to Paul . Jump up ^ The Epistle to the Laodiceans is present in some western non-Roman Catholic translations and traditions . Especially of note is John Wycliffe 's inclusion of the epistle in his English translation , and the Quakers ' use of it to the point where they produced a translation and made pleas for its canonicity , see Poole 's Annotations , on Col. 4 : 16 . The epistle is nonetheless widely rejected by the vast majority of Protestants .

Jump up ^ Though they are not listed in this table , the Apostolic Constitutions were considered canonical by some including Alexius Aristenus , John of Salisbury , and to a lesser extent , Grigor Tat ` evatsi .

Nonetheless , their early authorship and inclusion in ancient Biblical codices , as well as their acceptance to varying degrees by various early authorities , requires them to be treated as foundational literature for Christianity as a whole . ^ Jump up to : Ethiopic Clement and the Ethiopic Didascalia are distinct from and should not be confused with other ecclesiastical documents known in the west by similar names . Book order ( edit ) The order in which the books of the New Testament appear differs between some collections and ecclesiastical traditions . In the Latin West , prior to the Vulgate ( an early 5th - century Latin version of the Bible ) , the four Gospels were arranged in the following order : Matthew , John , Luke , and Mark . The Syriac Peshitta places the major General epistles ( James , 1 Peter , and 1 John ) immediately after Acts and before the Pauline epistles . The order of an early edition of the letters of Paul is based on the size of the letters : longest to shortest , though keeping 1 and 2 Corinthians and 1 and 2 Thessalonians together . The Pastoral epistles were apparently not part of the Corpus Paulinum in which this order originated and were later inserted after 2 Thessalonians and before Philemon . Hebrews was variously incorporated into the Corpus Paulinum either after 2 Thessalonians , after Philemon ( i.e. at the very end ) , or after Romans . The New Testament of the 16th - century Luther Bible continues , to this day , to place Hebrews , James , Jude , and the Apocalypse last . This reflects the thoughts of the Reformer Martin Luther on the canonicity of these books . Apocrypha ( edit ) Main article : New Testament apocrypha The books that eventually found a permanent place in the New Testament were not the only works of Christian literature produced in the earliest Christian centuries . The long process of canonization began early , sometimes with tacit reception of traditional texts , sometimes with explicit selection or rejection of particular texts as either acceptable or unacceptable for use in a given context ( e.g. , not all texts that were acceptable for private use were considered appropriate for use in the liturgy ) . Over the course of history , those works of early Christian literature that survived but that did not become part of the New Testament have been variously grouped by theologians and scholars . Drawing upon , though redefining , an older term used in early Christianity and among Protestants when referring to those books found in the Christian Old Testament although not in the Jewish Bible , modern scholars began to refer to these works of early Christian literature not included in the New Testament as `` apocryphal '' , by which was meant non-canonical . Collected editions of these works were then referred to as the `` New Testament apocrypha '' . Typically excluded from such published collections are the following groups of works : The Apostolic Fathers , the 2nd - century Christian apologists , the Alexandrians , Tertullian , Methodius of Olympus , Novatian , Cyprian , martyrdoms , and the Desert Fathers . Almost all other Christian literature from the period , and sometimes including works composed well into Late Antiquity , are relegated to the so - called New Testament apocrypha . Although not considered to be inspired by God , these `` apocryphal '' works may be helpful in the study of the New Testament in that they were produced in the same ancient context and often using the same language as those books that would eventually form the New Testament . Some of these later works are dependent ( either directly or indirectly ) upon books that would later come to be in the New Testament or upon the ideas expressed in them . There is even an example of a pseudepigraphical letter composed under the guise of a presumably lost letter of the Apostle Paul , the Epistle to the Laodiceans . Authors ( edit ) Main article : Authorship of the Bible The books of the New Testament were all or nearly all written by Jewish Christians -- that is , Jewish disciples of Christ , who lived in the Roman Empire , and under Roman occupation . Luke , who wrote the Gospel of Luke and the Book of Acts , is frequently thought of as an exception ; scholars are divided as to whether Luke was a Gentile or a Hellenistic Jew . A few scholars identify the author of the Gospel of Mark as probably a Gentile , and similarly for the Gospel of Matthew , though most assert Jewish - Christian authorship . Gospels ( edit ) Main article : Synoptic Gospels Authorship is an area of longstanding and current research and debate , with different works posing different problems for identification . While the various works have traditional ascriptions of authorship , these ascriptions are in some cases defended by scholars , and in other cases disputed or rejected . According to many ( if not most ) critical scholars , none of the authors of the Gospels were eyewitnesses or even explicitly claimed to be eyewitnesses . Bart Ehrman of the University of North Carolina has argued for a scholarly consensus that many New Testament books were not written by the individuals whose names are attached . He further argues that the Gospels were originally anonymous , and names were not ascribed to them until around 185 AD . Other scholars concur . It is the perspective of some writers that none were written in Palestine . There is a tradition that the Apostle John was the author of the Gospel of John . Traditionalists ( such as Biblical commentators Albert Barnes and Matthew Henry ) seem to support the idea that the writer of the Gospel of John himself claimed to be an eyewitness in their commentaries of John 21 : 24 and therefore the gospel was written by an eyewitness ; however , this idea is rejected by the majority of modern scholars . A review of Richard Bauckham 's book Jesus and the Eyewitnesses : The Gospels as Eyewitness Testimony states `` The common wisdom in the academy is that stories and sayings of Jesus circulated for decades , undergoing countless retellings and embellishments before being finally set down in writing . '' Most scholars hold to the two - source hypothesis , which claims that the Gospel of Mark was written first . According to the hypothesis , the authors of the Gospel of Matthew and the Gospel of Luke then used the Gospel of Mark and the hypothetical Q document , in addition to some other sources , to write their individual gospel accounts . These three gospels are called the Synoptic gospels because they include many of the same stories , often in the same sequence , and sometimes exactly the same wording . Scholars agree that the Gospel of John was written last , by using a different tradition and body of testimony . In addition , most scholars agree that the author of Luke wrote the Acts of the Apostles . Scholars hold that these books constituted two halves of a single work , Luke - Acts . Evangelist Mathäus und der Engel , by Rembrandt . Strictly speaking , each gospel and the book of Acts is arguably anonymous . The Gospel of John is somewhat of an exception , although the author simply refers to himself as `` the disciple Jesus loved '' and claims to be a member of Jesus ' inner circle . The identities of each author were agreed upon at an early date , certainly no later than the early 2nd century . It is likely that the issue of the authorship of each gospel had been settled at least somewhat earlier , as the earliest sources are in complete agreement on the issue . No one questioned the early 2nd century consensus until the 18th century . Some scholars today maintain the traditional claim that Luke the Evangelist , an associate of St. Paul who was probably not an eyewitness to Jesus ' ministry , wrote the Gospel of Luke and Acts of the Apostles . Scholars are also divided on the traditional claim that Mark the Evangelist , an associate of St. Peter who may have been an eyewitness to Jesus ' ministry , wrote the Gospel of Mark . Scholars are more divided over the traditional claim that Matthew the Apostle wrote the Gospel of Matthew and that John the Apostle wrote the Gospel of John . Opinion , however , is widely divided on this issue and there is no widespread consensus . Acts ( edit ) Main article : Authorship of Luke -- Acts The Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles were both written by the same author , and are thus referred to as the Lucan texts . The most direct evidence comes from the prefaces of each book ; both were addressed to Theophilus , and the preface to the Acts of the Apostles references `` my former book '' about the ministry of Jesus . Furthermore , there are linguistic and theological similarities between the two works , suggesting that they have a common author . Pauline epistles ( edit ) Main article : Authorship of the Pauline epistles Saint Paul Writing His Epistles , 17th - century painting . Most scholars think Paul actually dictated his letters to a secretary . The Pauline epistles are the thirteen books in the New Testament traditionally attributed to Paul of Tarsus . The anonymous Epistle to the Hebrews is , despite unlikely Pauline authorship , often functionally grouped with these thirteen to form a corpus of fourteen `` Pauline '' epistles . Seven letters are generally classified as `` undisputed '' , expressing contemporary scholarly near consensus that they are the work of Paul : Romans , 1 Corinthians , 2 Corinthians , Galatians , Philippians , 1 Thessalonians and Philemon . Six additional letters bearing Paul 's name do not currently enjoy the same academic consensus : Ephesians , Colossians , 2 Thessalonians , 1 Timothy , 2 Timothy and Titus . While many scholars uphold the traditional view , some question whether the first three , called the `` Deutero - Pauline Epistles '' , are authentic letters of Paul . As for the latter three , the `` Pastoral epistles '' , some scholars uphold the traditional view of these as the genuine writings of the Apostle Paul ; most , however , regard them as pseudepigrapha . One might refer to the Epistle to the Laodiceans and the Third Epistle to the Corinthians as examples of works identified as pseudonymous . Since the early centuries of the church , there has been debate concerning the authorship of the anonymous Epistle to the Hebrews , and contemporary scholars generally reject Pauline authorship . The epistles all share common themes , emphasis , vocabulary and style ; they exhibit a uniformity of doctrine concerning the Mosaic Law , Jesus , faith , and various other issues . All of these letters easily fit into the chronology of Paul 's journeys depicted in Acts of the Apostles . Other epistles ( edit ) The author of the Epistle of James identifies himself in the opening verse as `` James , a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ '' . From the middle of the 3rd century , patristic authors cited the Epistle as written by James the Just . Ancient and modern scholars have always been divided on the issue of authorship . Many consider the epistle to be written in the late 1st or early 2nd centuries . The author of the First Epistle of Peter identifies himself in the opening verse as `` Peter , an apostle of Jesus Christ '' , and the view that the epistle was written by St. Peter is attested to by a number of Church Fathers : Irenaeus ( 140 -- 203 ) , Tertullian ( 150 -- 222 ) , Clement of Alexandria ( 155 -- 215 ) and Origen of Alexandria ( 185 -- 253 ) . Unlike The Second Epistle of Peter , the authorship of which was debated in antiquity , there was little debate about Peter 's authorship of this first epistle until the 18th century . Although 2 Peter internally purports to be a work of the apostle , many biblical scholars have concluded that Peter is not the author . For an early date and ( usually ) for a defense of the Apostle Peter 's authorship see Kruger , Zahn , Spitta , Bigg , and Green . The Epistle of Jude title is written as follows : `` Jude , a servant of Jesus Christ and a brother of James '' ( NRSV ) . The debate has continued over the author 's identity as the apostle , the brother of Jesus , both , or neither . Johannine works ( edit ) Main article : Authorship of the Johannine works The First Epistle of John is traditionally held to have been composed by John the Apostle ( the author of the Gospel of John ) when the writer was in advanced age . The epistle 's content , language and conceptual style indicate that it may have had the same author as the Gospel of John , 2 John and 3 John . Eusebius claimed that the author of 2nd and 3rd John was not John the Apostle , but an `` elder John '' which refers either to the apostle at an advanced age or a hypothetical second individual ( `` John the Elder '' ) . Scholars today are divided on the issue . Revelation ( edit ) The author of the Book of Revelation identifies himself several times as `` John '' . and states that he was on Patmos when he received his first vision . As a result , the author is sometimes referred to as John of Patmos . The author has traditionally been identified with John the Apostle to whom the Gospel and the epistles of John were attributed . It was believed that he was exiled to the island of Patmos during the reign of the Roman emperor Domitian , and there wrote Revelation . Justin Martyr ( c. 100 -- 165 AD ) who was acquainted with Polycarp , who had been mentored by John , makes a possible allusion to this book , and credits John as the source . Irenaeus ( c. 115 -- 202 ) assumes it as a conceded point . According to the Zondervan Pictorial Encyclopedia of the Bible , modern scholars are divided between the apostolic view and several alternative hypotheses put forth in the last hundred years or so . Ben Witherington points out that linguistic evidence makes it unlikely that the books were written by the same person . Dates of composition ( edit ) See individual book articles for more detail . The earliest works that became part of the New Testament are the letters of the Apostle Paul . The earliest of the books of the New Testament was First Thessalonians , an epistle of Paul , written probably in 51 , or possibly Galatians in 49 according to one of two theories of its writing . In the 1830s German scholars of the Tübingen school tried to date the books as late as the 3rd century , but the discovery of some New Testament manuscripts and fragments from the 2nd and 3rd centuries , one of which dates as early as 125 ( Papyrus 52 ) , disproves a 3rd - century date of composition for any book now in the New Testament . Additionally , a letter to the church at Corinth in the name of Clement of Rome in 95 quotes from 10 of the 27 books of the New Testament , and a letter to the church at Philippi in the name of Polycarp in 120 quotes from 16 books . Therefore , some of the books of the New Testament must have been in circulation by the end of the first century . Scholars hold a wide spectrum of views on exactly when the books of the new testament were written , with non-fundamentalist scholars tending to argue for later dates , and more conservative scholars arguing for an earlier one . Most contemporary scholars regard Mark as a source used by Luke ( see Marcan priority ) . If it is true that Mark was written around the destruction of the Temple of Jerusalem , around 70 , they theorize that Luke would not have been written before 70 . Some who take this view believe that Luke 's prediction of the destruction of the temple could not be a result of Jesus predicting the future but with the benefit of hindsight regarding specific details . They believe that the Olivet Discourse in Luke 21 : 5 -- 30 is specific enough ( more specific than Mark 's or Matthew 's ) that a date after 70 seems likely . These scholars have suggested dates for Luke from 75 to 100 . Support for a later date comes from a number of reasons . Differences of chronology , `` style '' , and theology suggest that the author of Luke - Acts was not familiar with Paul 's distinctive theology but instead was writing a decade or more after his death , by which point significant harmonization between different traditions within Early Christianity had occurred . Furthermore , Luke - Acts has views on Jesus ' divine nature , the end times , and salvation that are similar to those found in Pastoral epistles , which are often seen as pseudonymous and of a later date than the undisputed Pauline Epistles . Most conservative scholars however , argue that both internal and external evidence strongly points to dates prior to 70 AD for the Synoptic Gospels , Acts , and the Pauline Epistles . They note that there is no mention of the deaths of Paul , Peter , and James , all of which happened between 60 -- 65 AD , in any book of the New Testament . These were all extremely important figures in the early church , writers would have mentioned their deaths if the New Testament had been written later . Furthermore , the Gospels contain numerous attacks on the Sadducees , a sect of Judaism that was wiped out with the destruction of the temple . Why , they ask , would later writers devote so much narrative space to attacking a group that no longer existed ? John Robinson also notes that each book of the New Testament had to be written prior to the destruction of The Temple . Robinson notes that most scholars interpret the Olivet Discourse as a post 70 AD account of the destruction of The Temple , couched in language to make it appear to be a prophecy , culminating in the Second Coming of Jesus to end the world . Robinson notes that the Second Coming did not occur after the destruction of The Temple , leading him to ask , why would a writer in the 80s or 90s forge a prophecy of an event that is proven not to have occurred 20 years earlier ? Language ( edit ) Main article : Language of the New Testament The major languages spoken by both Jews and Greeks in the Holy Land at the time of Jesus were Aramaic and Koine Greek , and also a colloquial dialect of Mishnaic Hebrew . It is generally agreed by most scholars that the historical Jesus primarily spoke Aramaic , perhaps also some Hebrew and Koine Greek . The majority view is that all of the books that would eventually form the New Testament were written in the Koine Greek language . As Christianity spread , these books were later translated into other languages , most notably , Latin , Syriac , and Egyptian Coptic . However , some of the Church Fathers imply or claim that Matthew was originally written in Hebrew or Aramaic , and then soon after was written in Koine Greek . Nevertheless , the Gospel of Matthew known today was composed in Greek and is neither directly dependent upon nor a translation of a text in a Semitic language . Development of the New Testament canon ( edit ) Main article : Development of the New Testament canon The process of canonization of the New Testament was complex and lengthy . In the initial centuries of early Christianity , there were many books widely considered by the church to be inspired , but there was no single formally recognized New Testament canon . The process was characterized by a compilation of books that apostolic tradition considered authoritative in worship and teaching , relevant to the historical situations in which they lived , and consonant with the Old Testament . Writings attributed to the apostles circulated among the earliest Christian communities and the Pauline epistles were circulating , perhaps in collected forms , by the end of the 1st century AD . One of the earliest attempts at solidifying a canon was made by Marcion , circa 140 AD , who accepted only a modified version of Luke ( the Gospel of Marcion ) and ten of Paul 's letters , while rejecting the Old Testament entirely . His canon was increasingly rejected by other groups of Christians , notably the proto - orthodox Christians , as was his theology , Marcionism . Adolf Harnack in Origin of the New Testament ( 1914 ) observed that the church gradually formulated its New Testament canon in response to the challenge posed by Marcion . Justin Martyr , Irenaeus and Tertullian held the letters of Paul to be on par with the Hebrew Scriptures as being divinely inspired , yet others rejected him . Other books were held in high esteem but were gradually relegated to the status of New Testament apocrypha . Justin Martyr , in the mid 2nd century , mentions `` memoirs of the apostles '' as being read on Sunday alongside the `` writings of the prophets '' . The Muratorian fragment , dated at between 170 and as late as the end of the 4th century ( according to the Anchor Bible Dictionary ) , may be the earliest known New Testament canon attributed to mainstream Christianity . It is similar , but not identical , to the modern New Testament canon . The oldest clear endorsement of Matthew , Mark , Luke , and John being the only legitimate gospels was written circa 180 AD . A four gospel canon ( the Tetramorph ) was asserted by Irenaeus , who refers to it directly in his polemic Against the Heresies , `` It is not possible that the gospels can be either more or fewer in number than they are . For , since there are four zones of the world in which we live , and four principal winds , while the church is scattered throughout all the world , and the `` pillar and ground '' of the church is the gospel and the spirit of life ; it is fitting that she should have four pillars , breathing out immortality on every side , and vivifying men afresh . '' The books considered to be authoritative by Irenaeus included the four gospels and many of the letters of Paul , although , based on the arguments Irenaeus made in support of only four authentic gospels , some interpreters deduce that the fourfold Gospel must have still been a novelty in Irenaeus 's time . Origen ( 3rd century ) ( edit ) By the early 200s , Origen may have been using the same twenty - seven books as in the Catholic New Testament canon , though there were still disputes over the canonicity of the Letter to the Hebrews , Epistle of James , II Peter , II John and III John and the Book of Revelation , known as the Antilegomena . Likewise , the Muratorian fragment is evidence that , perhaps as early as 200 , there existed a set of Christian writings somewhat similar to the twenty - seven book NT canon , which included four gospels and argued against objections to them . Thus , while there was a good measure of debate in the Early Church over the New Testament canon , the major writings are claimed to have been accepted by almost all Christians by the middle of the 3rd century . Origen was largely responsible for the collection of usage information regarding the texts that became the New Testament . The information used to create the late - 4th - century Easter Letter , which declared accepted Christian writings , was probably based on the Ecclesiastical History ( HE ) of Eusebius of Caesarea , wherein he uses the information passed on to him by Origen to create both his list at HE 3 : 25 and Origen 's list at HE 6 : 25 . Eusebius got his information about what texts were then accepted and what were then disputed , by the third - century churches throughout the known world , a great deal of which Origen knew of firsthand from his extensive travels , from the library and writings of Origen . In fact , Origen would have possibly included in his list of `` inspired writings '' other texts kept out by the likes of Eusebius -- including the Epistle of Barnabas , Shepherd of Hermas , and 1 Clement . Notwithstanding these facts , `` Origen is not the originator of the idea of biblical canon , but he certainly gives the philosophical and literary - interpretative underpinnings for the whole notion . '' Eusebius 's ecclesiastical History ( edit ) Eusebius , circa 300 , gave a detailed list of New Testament writings in his Ecclesiastical History Book 3 , Chapter XXV : `` 1 ... First then must be put the holy quaternion of the gospels ; following them the Acts of the Apostles ... the epistles of Paul ... the epistle of John ... the epistle of Peter ... After them is to be placed , if it really seem proper , the Book of Revelation , concerning which we shall give the different opinions at the proper time . These then belong among the accepted writings . '' `` 3 Among the disputed writings , which are nevertheless recognized by many , are extant the so - called epistle of James and that of Jude , also the second epistle of Peter , and those that are called the second and third of John , whether they belong to the evangelist or to another person of the same name . Among the rejected ( Kirsopp Lake translation : `` not genuine '' ) writings must be reckoned also the Acts of Paul , and the so - called Shepherd , and the Apocalypse of Peter , and in addition to these the extant epistle of Barnabas , and the so - called Teachings of the Apostles ; and besides , as I said , the Apocalypse of John , if it seem proper , which some , as I said , reject , but which others class with the accepted books . And among these some have placed also the Gospel according to the Hebrews ... And all these may be reckoned among the disputed books . '' `` 6 ... such books as the Gospels of Peter , of Thomas , of Matthias , or of any others besides them , and the Acts of Andrew and John and the other apostles ... they clearly show themselves to be the fictions of heretics . Wherefore they are not to be placed even among the rejected writings , but are all of them to be cast aside as absurd and impious . '' The Book of Revelation is counted as both accepted ( Kirsopp Lake translation : `` Recognized '' ) and disputed , which has caused some confusion over what exactly Eusebius meant by doing so . From other writings of the church fathers , it was disputed with several canon lists rejecting its canonicity . EH 3.3. 5 adds further detail on Paul : `` Paul 's fourteen epistles are well known and undisputed . It is not indeed right to overlook the fact that some have rejected the Epistle to the Hebrews , saying that it is disputed by the church of Rome , on the ground that it was not written by Paul . '' EH 4.29. 6 mentions the Diatessaron : `` But their original founder , Tatian , formed a certain combination and collection of the gospels , I know not how , to which he gave the title Diatessaron , and which is still in the hands of some . But they say that he ventured to paraphrase certain words of the apostle Paul , in order to improve their style . '' 4th century and later ( edit ) In his Easter letter of 367 , Athanasius , Bishop of Alexandria , gave a list of the books that would become the twenty - seven - book NT canon , and he used the word `` canonized '' ( kanonizomena ) in regards to them . The first council that accepted the present canon of the New Testament may have been the Synod of Hippo Regius in North Africa ( 393 AD ) ; the acts of this council , however , are lost . A brief summary of the acts was read at and accepted by the Council of Carthage ( 397 ) and the Council of Carthage ( 419 ) . These councils were under the authority of St. Augustine , who regarded the canon as already closed . Pope Damasus I 's Council of Rome in 382 , if the Decretum Gelasianum is correctly associated with it , issued a biblical canon identical to that mentioned above , or , if not , the list is at least a 6th - century compilation . Likewise , Damasus ' commissioning of the Latin Vulgate edition of the Bible , c. 383 , was instrumental in the fixation of the canon in the West . In c. 405 , Pope Innocent I sent a list of the sacred books to a Gallic bishop , Exsuperius of Toulouse . Christian scholars assert that , when these bishops and councils spoke on the matter , however , they were not defining something new but instead `` were ratifying what had already become the mind of the Church . '' The New Testament canon as it is now was first listed by St. Athanasius , Bishop of Alexandria , in 367 , in a letter written to his churches in Egypt , Festal Letter 39 . Also cited is the Council of Rome , but not without controversy . That canon gained wider and wider recognition until it was accepted at the Third Council of Carthage in 397 and 419 . Even this council did not settle the matter , however . Certain books , referred to as Antilegomena , continued to be questioned , especially James and Revelation . Even as late as the 16th century , the Reformer Martin Luther questioned ( but in the end did not reject ) the Epistle of James , the Epistle of Jude , the Epistle to the Hebrews and the Book of Revelation . To this day , German - language Luther Bibles are printed with these four books at the end of the canon , rather than in their traditional order as in other editions of the Bible . In light of this questioning of the canon of Scripture by Protestants in the 16th century , the ( Roman Catholic ) Council of Trent reaffirmed the traditional western canon ( i.e. , the canon accepted at the 4th - century Council of Rome and Council of Carthage ) , thus making the Canon of Trent and the Vulgate Bible dogma in the Catholic Church . Later , Pope Pius XI on 2 June 1927 decreed the Comma Johanneum was open to dispute and Pope Pius XII on 3 September 1943 issued the encyclical Divino afflante Spiritu , which allowed translations based on other versions than just the Latin Vulgate , notably in English the New American Bible . Thus , some claim that , from the 4th century , there existed unanimity in the West concerning the New Testament canon ( as it is today ) , and that , by the 5th century , the Eastern Church , with a few exceptions , had come to accept the Book of Revelation and thus had come into harmony on the matter of the canon . Nonetheless , full dogmatic articulations of the canon were not made until the Canon of Trent of 1546 for Roman Catholicism , the Thirty - Nine Articles of 1563 for the Church of England , the Westminster Confession of Faith of 1647 for Calvinism , and the Synod of Jerusalem of 1672 for the Greek Orthodox . On the question of NT Canon formation generally , New Testament scholar Lee Martin McDonald has written that : Although a number of Christians have thought that church councils determined what books were to be included in the biblical canons , a more accurate reflection of the matter is that the councils recognized or acknowledged those books that had already obtained prominence from usage among the various early Christian communities . Christian scholars assert that when these bishops and councils spoke on the matter , they were not defining something new , but instead `` were ratifying what had already become the mind of the Church '' . Some synods of the 4th century published lists of canonical books ( e.g. Hippo and Carthage ) . The existing 27 - book canon of the New Testament was reconfirmed ( for Roman Catholicism ) in the 16th century with the Council of Trent ( also called the Tridentine Council ) of 1546 , the Thirty - Nine Articles of 1563 for the Church of England , the Westminster Confession of Faith of 1647 for Calvinism , and the Synod of Jerusalem of 1672 for Eastern Orthodoxy . Although these councils did include statements about the canon , when it came to the New Testament they were only reaffirming the existing canon , including the Antilegomena . According to the Catholic Encyclopedia article on the Canon of the New Testament : `` The idea of a complete and clear - cut canon of the New Testament existing from the beginning , that is from Apostolic times , has no foundation in history . The Canon of the New Testament , like that of the Old , is the result of a development , of a process at once stimulated by disputes with doubters , both within and without the Church , and retarded by certain obscurities and natural hesitations , and which did not reach its final term until the dogmatic definition of the Tridentine Council . '' In 331 , Constantine I commissioned Eusebius to deliver fifty Bibles for the Church of Constantinople . Athanasius ( Apol . Const. 4 ) recorded Alexandrian scribes around 340 preparing Bibles for Constans . Little else is known , though there is plenty of speculation . For example , it is speculated that this may have provided motivation for canon lists , and that Codex Vaticanus and Codex Sinaiticus may be examples of these Bibles . Together with the Peshitta and Codex Alexandrinus , these are the earliest extant Christian Bibles . There is no evidence among the canons of the First Council of Nicaea of any determination on the canon . Early manuscripts ( edit ) Papyrus Bodmer VIII , at the Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana , showing 1 and 2 Peter . The Codex Regius ( L or 019 ) , an 8th - century Greek manuscript of the New Testament with strong affinities to Codex Vaticanus . Main article : New Testament manuscripts Like other literature from antiquity , the text of the New Testament was ( prior to the advent of the printing press ) preserved and transmitted in manuscripts . Manuscripts containing at least a part of the New Testament number in the thousands . The earliest of these ( like manuscripts containing other literature ) are often very fragmentarily preserved . Some of these fragments have even been thought to date as early as the 2nd century ( i.e. , Papyrus 90 , Papyrus 98 , Papyrus 104 , and famously Rylands Library Papyrus P52 , though the early date of the latter has recently been called into question ) . For each subsequent century , more and more manuscripts survive that contain a portion or all of the books that were held to be part of the New Testament at that time ( for example , the New Testament of the 4th - century Codex Sinaiticus , once a complete Bible , contains the Epistle of Barnabas and the Shepherd of Hermas ) , though occasionally these manuscripts contain other works as well ( e.g. , Papyrus 72 and the Crosby - Schøyen Codex ) . The date when a manuscript was written , however , does not necessarily reflect the date of the form of text it contains . That is , later manuscripts can , and occasionally do , contain older forms of text or older readings . Some of the more important manuscripts containing an early text of books of the New Testament are : The Chester Beatty Papyri ( Greek ; the New Testament portions of which were copied in the 3rd century ) The Bodmer Papyri ( Greek and Coptic ; the New Testament portions of which were copied in the 3rd and 4th centuries ) Codex Bobiensis ( Latin ; copied in the 4th century , but containing at least a 3rd - century form of text ) Uncial 0171 ( Greek ; copied in the late - third or early 4th century ) Syriac Sinaiticus ( Syriac ; copied in the 4th century ) Schøyen Manuscript 2560 ( Coptic ; copied in the 4th century ) Codex Vaticanus ( Greek ; copied in the 4th century ) Codex Sinaiticus ( Greek ; copied in the 4th century ) Codex Vercellensis ( Latin ; copied in the 4th century ) Curetonian Gospels ( Syriac ; copied in the 5th century ) Garima Gospels ( Ge'ez language , produced in the 5th through 6th century ) Textual variation ( edit ) Main articles : Textual variants in the New Testament and Textual criticism of the New Testament Textual criticism deals with the identification and removal of transcription errors in the texts of manuscripts . Ancient scribes made errors or alterations ( such as including non-authentic additions ) . The New Testament has been preserved in more than 5,800 Greek manuscripts , 10,000 Latin manuscripts and 9,300 manuscripts in various other ancient languages including Syriac , Slavic , Ethiopic and Armenian . Even if the original Greek versions were lost , the entire New Testament could still be assembled from the translations . In addition , there are so many quotes from the New Testament in early church documents and commentaries that the entire New Testament could also be assembled from these alone . Not all biblical manuscripts come from orthodox Christian writers . For example , the Gnostic writings of Valentinus come from the 2nd century AD , and these Christians were regarded as heretics by the mainstream church . The sheer number of witnesses presents unique difficulties , but it also gives scholars a better idea of how close modern Bibles are to the original versions . On noting the large number of surviving ancient manuscripts , Bruce Metzger sums up the view on the issue by saying `` The more often you have copies that agree with each other , especially if they emerge from different geographical areas , the more you can cross-check them to figure out what the original document was like . The only way they 'd agree would be where they went back genealogically in a family tree that represents the descent of the manuscripts . Interpolations ( edit ) In attempting to determine the original text of the New Testament books , some modern textual critics have identified sections as additions of material , centuries after the gospel was written . These are called interpolations . In modern translations of the Bible , the results of textual criticism have led to certain verses , words and phrases being left out or marked as not original . According to Bart D. Ehrman , `` These scribal additions are often found in late medieval manuscripts of the New Testament , but not in the manuscripts of the earlier centuries . '' Most modern Bibles have footnotes to indicate passages that have disputed source documents . Bible Commentaries also discuss these , sometimes in great detail . While many variations have been discovered between early copies of biblical texts , almost all have no importance , as they are variations in spelling , punctuation , or grammar . Also , many of these variants are so particular to the Greek language that they would not appear in translations into other languages . For example , order of words ( i.e. `` man bites dog '' versus `` dog bites man '' ) often does not matter in Greek , so textual variants that flip the order of words often have no consequences . Outside of these unimportant variants , there are a couple variants of some importance . The two most commonly cited examples are the last verses of the Gospel of Mark and the story of the adulterous woman in the Gospel of John . Many scholars and critics also believe that the Comma Johanneum reference supporting the Trinity doctrine in 1 John to have been a later addition . According to Norman Geisler and William Nix , `` The New Testament , then , has not only survived in more manuscripts than any other book from antiquity , but it has survived in a purer form than any other great book -- a form that is 99.5 % pure '' The Rossano Gospels , 6th century , a representative of Byzantine text . The often referred to Interpreter 's Dictionary of the Bible , a book written to prove the validity of the New Testament , says : `` A study of 150 Greek ( manuscripts ) of the Gospel of Luke has revealed more than 30,000 different readings ... It is safe to say that there is not one sentence in the New Testament in which the ( manuscript ) is wholly uniform . '' Most of the variation took place within the first three Christian centuries . Text - types ( edit ) By the 4th century , textual `` families '' or types of text become discernible among New Testament manuscripts . A `` text - type '' is the name given to a family of texts with similar readings due to common ancestors and mutual correction . Many early manuscripts , however , contain individual readings from several different earlier forms of text . Modern texual critics have identified the following text - types among textual witnesses to the New Testament : The Alexandrian text - type is usually considered to generally preserve many early readings . It is represented , e.g. , by Codex Vaticanus , Codex Sinaiticus and the Bodmer Papyri . The Western text - type is generally longer and can be paraphrastic , but can also preserve early readings . The Western version of the Acts of the Apostles is , notably , 8.5 % longer than the Alexandrian form of the text . Examples of the Western text are found in Codex Bezae , Codex Claromontanus , Codex Washingtonianus , the Old Latin ( i.e. , Latin translations made prior to the Vulgate ) , as well as in quotations by Marcion , Tatian , Irenaeus , Tertullian and Cyprian . A text - type referred to as the `` Caesarean text - type '' and thought to have included witnesses such as Codex Koridethi and minuscule 565 , can today be described neither as `` Caesarean '' nor as a text - type as was previously thought . However , the Gospel of Mark in Papyrus 45 , Codex Washingtonianus and in Family 13 does indeed reflect a distinct type of text . Increasing standardization of distinct ( and once local ) text - types eventually gave rise to the Byzantine text - type . Since most manuscripts of the New Testament do not derive from the first several centuries , that is , they were copied after the rise of the Byzantine text - type , this form of text is found the majority of extant manuscripts and is therefore often called the `` Majority Text . '' As with all of the other ( earlier ) text - types , the Byzantine can also occasionally preserve early readings . Biblical criticism ( edit ) Main article : Biblical criticism Biblical criticism is the scholarly `` study and investigation of biblical writings that seeks to make discerning judgments about these writings . '' Viewing biblical texts as having human rather than supernatural origins , it asks when and where a particular text originated ; how , why , by whom , for whom , and in what circumstances it was produced ; what influences were at work in its production ; what sources were used in its composition ; and what message it was intended to convey . It will vary slightly depending on whether the focus is on the Old Testament , the letters of the New Testament , or the Canonical Gospels . It also plays an important role in the quest for the historical Jesus . It also addresses the physical text , including the meaning of the words and the way in which they are used , its preservation , history , and integrity . Biblical criticism draws upon a wide range of scholarly disciplines including archaeology , anthropology , folklore , linguistics , Oral Tradition studies , history , and religious studies . Establishing a critical text ( edit ) Main article : New Testament manuscripts The textual variation among manuscript copies of books in the New Testament prompted attempts to discern the earliest form of text already in antiquity ( e.g. , by the 3rd - century Christian author Origen ) . The efforts began in earnest again during the Renaissance , which saw a revival of the study of ancient Greek texts . During this period , modern textual criticism was born . In this context , Christian humanists such as Lorenzo Valla and Erasmus promoted a return to the original Greek of the New Testament . This was the beginning of modern New Testament textual criticism , which over subsequent centuries would increasingly incorporate more and more manuscripts , in more languages ( i.e. , versions of the New Testament ) , as well as citations of the New Testament by ancient authors and the New Testament text in lectionaries in order to reconstruct the earliest recoverable form of the New Testament text and the history of changes to it . Relationship to earlier and contemporaneous literature ( edit ) Further information : Non-canonical books referenced in the Bible Books that later formed the New Testament , like other Christian literature of the period , originated in a literary context that reveals relationships not only to other Christian writings , but also to Graeco - Roman and Jewish works . Of singular importance is the extensive use of and interaction with the Jewish Bible and what would become the Christian Old Testament . Both implicit and explicit citations , as well as countless allusions , appear throughout the books of the New Testament , from the Gospels and Acts , to the Epistles , to the Apocalypse . Early versions ( edit ) The first translations ( usually called `` versions '' ) of the New Testament were made beginning already at the end of 2nd century . The earliest versions of the New Testament are the translations into the Syriac , Latin , and Coptic languages . These three versions were made directly from the Greek , and are frequently cited in the apparatuses of modern critical editions . Syriac ( edit ) Main article : Syriac versions of the Bible The Rabbula Gospels , Eusebian Canons . Syriac was spoken in Syria , and Mesopotamia , and with dialect in Roman and Byzantine Palestine where it was known as Jewish Palestinian Aramaic . Several Syriac translations were made and have come to us . Most of the Old Syriac , however , as well as the Philoxonian version have been lost . Tatian , the Assyrian , created the Diatessaron , a gospel harmony written in Syriac around 170 AD and the earliest form of the gospel not only in Syriac but probably also in Armenian . In the 19th century , manuscript evidence was discovered for an `` Old Syriac '' version of the four distinct ( i.e. , not harmonized ) gospels . These `` separated '' ( Syriac : da - Mepharreshe ) gospels , though old , have been shown to be later than the Diatessaron . The Old Syriac gospels are fragmentarily preserved in two manuscripts : the 5th - century Curetonian Syriac and the Sinaitic Syriac from the 4th or 5th century . No Old Syriac manuscripts of other portions of the New Testament survive , though Old Syriac readings , e.g. from the Pauline Epistles , can be discerned in citations made by Eastern fathers and in later Syriac versions . The Old Syriac version is a representative of the Western text - type . The Peshitta version was prepared in the beginning of the 5th century . It contains only 22 books ( neither the Minor Catholic Epistles of 2 Peter , 2 and 3 John , and Jude , nor the Book of Revelation were part of this translation ) . The Philoxenian probably was produced in 508 for Philoxenus , Bishop of Mabung . Latin ( edit ) Main articles : Vetus Latina and Vulgate The Gospels were likely translated into Latin as early as the last quarter of the 2nd century in North Africa ( Afra ) . Not much later , there were also European Latin translations ( Itala ) . There are about 80 Old Latin mansucripts . The Vetus Latina ( `` Old Latin '' ) versions often contain readings with a Western type of text . ( For the avoidance of confusion , these texts were written in Late Latin , not the early version of the Latin language known as Old Latin , pre 75 BC . ) The bewildering diversity of the Old Latin versions prompted Jerome to prepare another translation into Latin -- the Vulgate . In many respects it was merely a revision of the Old Latin . There are currently around 8,000 manuscripts of the Vulgate . Coptic ( edit ) Main article : Coptic versions of the Bible There are several dialects of the Coptic language : Bohairic ( northern dialect ) , Fayyumic , Sahidic ( southern dialect ) , Akhmimic , and others . The first translation was made by at least the 3rd century into the Sahidic dialect ( cop ) . This translation represents a mixed text , mostly Alexandrian , though also with Western readings . A Bohairic translation was made later , but existed already in the 4th century . Though the translation makes less use of Greek words than the Sahidic , it does employ some Greek grammar ( e.g. , in word - order and the use of particles such as the syntactic construction μεν -- δε ) . For this reason , the Bohairic translation can be helpful in the reconstruction of the early Greek text of the New Testament . Other ancient translations ( edit ) BL Add . MS 59874 with Ethiopic Gospel of Matthew . The continued spread of Christianity , and the foundation of national churches , led to the translation of the Bible -- often beginning with books from the New Testament -- into a variety of other languages at a relatively early date : Armenian , Georgian , Ethiopic , Persian , Soghdian , and eventually Gothic , Old Church Slavonic , Arabic , and Nubian . Modern translations ( edit ) Main article : Bible translations Modern Literal Version is the most recent literal translation of the books of the new testament , with the largest number of translation experts being involved in the final translation . Historically , throughout the Christian world and in the context of Christian missionary activity , the New Testament ( or portions thereof ) has been that part of the Christian Bible first translated into the vernacular . The production of such translations grew out of the insertion of vernacular glosses in biblical texts , as well as out of the production of biblical paraphrases and poetic renditions of stories from the life of Christ ( e.g. , the Heliand ) . The 16th century saw the rise of Protestantism and an explosion of translations of the New ( and Old ) Testament into the vernacular . Notable are those of Martin Luther ( 1522 ) , Jacques Lefèvre d'Étaples ( 1523 ) , the Froschau Bible ( 1525 -- 1529 , revised in 1574 ) , William Tyndale ( 1526 , revised in 1534 , 1535 and 1536 ) , the Brest Bible ( 1563 ) , and the Authorized Version ( also called the `` King James Version '' ) ( 1611 ) . Most of these translations relied ( though not always exclusively ) upon one of the printed editions of the Greek New Testament edited by Erasmus , a form of this Greek text emerged as the standard and is known as the Textus Receptus . This text , based on the majority of manuscripts is also used in the majority of translations that were made in the years 100 to 400 AD . Translations of the New Testament made since the appearance of critical editions of the Greek text ( notably those of Tischendorf , Westcott and Hort , and von Soden ) have largely used them as their base text . Unlike the Textus Receptus , these have a pronounced Alexandrian character . Standard critical editions are those of Souter , Vogels , Bover , Merk , and Nestlé - Aland ( the text , though not the full critical apparatus of which is reproduced in the United Bible Societies ' `` Greek New Testament '' ) . Notable translations of the New Testament based on these most recent critical editions include the Revised Standard Version ( 1946 , revised in 1971 ) , La Bible de Jérusalem ( 1961 , revised in 1973 and 2000 ) , the Einheitsübersetzung ( 1970 , final edition 1979 ) , the New American Bible ( 1970 , revised in 1986 ) , the Traduction Oecuménique de la Bible ( 1988 , revised in 2004 ) , and the New Revised Standard Version ( 1989 ) . Theological interpretation in Christian churches ( edit ) Main article : Biblical authority Though all Christian churches accept the New Testament as Scripture , they differ in their understanding of the nature , extent , and relevance of its authority . Views of the authoritativeness of the New Testament often depend on the concept of inspiration , which relates to the role of God in the formation of the New Testament . Generally , the greater the role of God in one 's doctrine of inspiration , the more one accepts the doctrine of biblical inerrancy and / or authoritativeness of the Bible . One possible source of confusion is that these terms are difficult to define , because many people use them interchangeably or with very different meanings . This article will use the terms in the following manner : Infallibility relates to the absolute correctness of the Bible in matters of doctrine . Inerrancy relates to the absolute correctness of the Bible in factual assertions ( including historical and scientific assertions ) . Authoritativeness relates to the correctness of the Bible in questions of practice in morality . The self - witness of the Bible to its inspiration demands a commitment to its unity . The ultimate basis for unity is contained in the claim of divine inspiration in 2 Timothy 3 : 16 that `` all Scripture is given by inspiration of God , and is profitable for doctrine , for reproof , for correction , for instruction in righteousness '' ( KJV ) . The term `` inspiration '' renders the Greek word theopneustos . This term only occurs here in the New Testament and literally means `` God - breathed '' ( the chosen translation of the NIV ) . All of these concepts depend for their meaning on the supposition that the text of Bible has been properly interpreted , with consideration for the intention of the text , whether literal history , allegory or poetry , etc . Especially the doctrine of inerrancy is variously understood according to the weight given by the interpreter to scientific investigations of the world . Unity in diversity ( edit ) The notion of unity in diversity of Scripture claims that the Bible presents a noncontradictory and consistent message concerning God and redemptive history . The fact of diversity is observed in comparing the diversity of time , culture , authors ' perspectives , literary genre , and the theological themes . Studies from many theologians considering the `` unity in diversity '' to be found in the New Testament ( and the Bible as a whole ) have been collected and summarized by New Testament theologian Frank Stagg . He describes them as some basic presuppositions , tenets , and concerns common among the New Testament writers , giving to the New Testament its `` unity in diversity '' : The reality of God is never argued but is always assumed and affirmed Jesus Christ is absolutely central : he is Lord and Savior , the foretold Prophet , the Messianic King , the Chosen , the way , the truth , and the light , the One through whom God the Father not only acted but through whom He came The Holy Spirit came anew with Jesus Christ . The Christian faith and life are a calling , rooted in divine election . The plight of everyone as sinner means that each person is completely dependent upon the mercy and grace of God Salvation is both God 's gift and his demand through Jesus Christ , to be received by faith The death and resurrection of Jesus are at the heart of the total event of which he was the center God creates a people of his own , designated and described by varied terminology and analogies History must be understood eschatologically , being brought along toward its ultimate goal when the kingdom of God , already present in Christ , is brought to its complete triumph In Christ , all of God 's work of creation , revelation , and redemption is brought to fulfillment Roman Catholicism , Eastern Orthodoxy , and classical Anglicanism ( edit ) For the Roman Catholic Church , there are two modes of Revelation : Scripture and Tradition . Both of them are interpreted by the teachings of the Church . The Roman Catholic view is expressed clearly in the Catechism of the Catholic Church ( 1997 ) : § 82 : As a result the Church , to whom the transmission and interpretation of Revelation is entrusted , does not derive her certainty about all revealed truths from the holy Scriptures alone . Both Scripture and Tradition must be accepted and honoured with equal sentiments of devotion and reverence . § 107 : The inspired books teach the truth . Since therefore all that the inspired authors or sacred writers affirm should be regarded as affirmed by the Holy Spirit , we must acknowledge that the books of Scripture firmly , faithfully , and without error teach that truth which God , for the sake of our salvation , wished to see confided to the Sacred Scriptures . In Catholic terminology the teaching office is called the Magisterium . The Catholic view should not be confused with the two - source theory . As the Catechism states in § § 80 and 81 , Revelation has `` one common source ... two distinct modes of transmission . '' While many Eastern Orthodox writers distinguish between Scripture and Tradition , Bishop Kallistos Ware says that for the Orthodox there is only one source of the Christian faith , Holy Tradition , within which Scripture exists . Traditional Anglicans believe that `` Holy Scripture containeth all things necessary to salvation '' , ( Article VI ) , but also that the Catholic Creeds `` ought thoroughly to be received and believed '' ( Article VIII ) , and that the Church `` hath authority in Controversies of Faith '' and is `` a witness and keeper of Holy Writ '' ( Article XX ) . Classical Anglicanism , therefore , like Orthodoxy , holds that Holy Tradition is the only safe guardian against perversion and innovation in the interpretation of Scripture . In the famous words of Thomas Ken , Bishop of Bath and Wells : `` As for my religion , I dye in the holy catholic and apostolic faith professed by the whole Church before the disunion of East and West , more particularly in the communion of the Church of England , as it stands distinguished from all Papal and Puritan innovations , and as it adheres to the doctrine of the Cross . '' Protestantism ( edit ) Following the doctrine of sola scriptura , Protestants believe that their traditions of faith , practice and interpretations carry forward what the scriptures teach , and so tradition is not a source of authority in itself . Their traditions derive authority from the Bible , and are therefore always open to reëvaluation . This openness to doctrinal revision has extended in Liberal Protestant traditions even to the reevaluation of the doctrine of Scripture upon which the Reformation was founded , and members of these traditions may even question whether the Bible is infallible in doctrine , inerrant in historical and other factual statements , and whether it has uniquely divine authority . However , the adjustments made by modern Protestants to their doctrine of scripture vary widely . American evangelical and fundamentalist Protestantism ( edit ) Within the US , the Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy ( 1978 ) is a statement , articulating evangelical views on this issue . Paragraph four of its summary states : `` Being wholly and verbally God - given , Scripture is without error or fault in all its teaching , no less in what it states about God 's acts in creation , about the events of world history , and about its own literary origins under God , than in its witness to God 's saving grace in individual lives . '' American mainline and liberal Protestantism ( edit ) Mainline American Protestant denominations , including the United Methodist Church , Presbyterian Church USA , The Episcopal Church , and Evangelical Lutheran Church in America , do not teach the doctrine of inerrancy as set forth in the Chicago Statement . All of these churches have more ancient doctrinal statements asserting the authority of scripture , but may interpret these statements in such a way as to allow for a very broad range of teaching -- from evangelicalism to skepticism . It is not an impediment to ordination in these denominations to teach that the scriptures contain errors , or that the authors follow a more or less unenlightened ethics that , however appropriate it may have seemed in the authors ' time , moderns would be very wrong to follow blindly . For example , ordination of women is universally accepted in the mainline churches , abortion is condemned as a grievous social tragedy but not always a personal sin or a crime against an unborn person , and homosexuality is sometimes recognized as a genetic propensity or morally neutral preference that should be neither encouraged nor condemned . In North America , the most contentious of these issues among these churches at the present time is how far the ordination of gay men and lesbians should be accepted . Officials of the Presbyterian Church USA report : `` We acknowledge the role of scriptural authority in the Presbyterian Church , but Presbyterians generally do not believe in biblical inerrancy . Presbyterians do not insist that every detail of chronology or sequence or prescientific description in scripture be true in literal form . Our confessions do teach biblical infallibility . Infallibility affirms the entire truthfulness of scripture without depending on every exact detail . '' Those who hold a more liberal view of the Bible as a human witness to the glory of God , the work of fallible humans who wrote from a limited experience unusual only for the insight they have gained through their inspired struggle to know God in the midst of a troubled world . Therefore , they tend not to accept such doctrines as inerrancy . These churches also tend to retain the social activism of their evangelical forebears of the 19th century , placing particular emphasis on those teachings of scripture that teach compassion for the poor and concern for social justice . The message of personal salvation is , generally speaking , of the good that comes to oneself and the world through following the New Testament 's Golden Rule admonition to love others without hypocrisy or prejudice . Toward these ends , the `` spirit '' of the New Testament , more than the letter , is infallible and authoritative . There are some movements that believe the Bible contains the teachings of Jesus but who reject the churches that were formed following its publication . These people believe all individuals can communicate directly with God and therefore do not need guidance or doctrines from a church . These people are known as Christian anarchists . Messianic Judaism ( edit ) Messianic Judaism generally holds the same view of New Testament authority as evangelical Protestants . According to the view of some Messianic Jewish congregations , Jesus did not annul the Torah , but that its interpretation is revised and ultimately explained through the Apostolic Scriptures . Jehovah 's witnesses ( edit ) The Christian Congregation of Jehovah 's Witnesses accepts the New Testament as divinely inspired Scripture , and as infallible in every detail , with equal authority as the Hebrew Scriptures . They view it as the written revelation and good news of the Messiah , the ransom sacrifice of Jesus , and the Kingdom of God , explaining and expounding the Hebrew Bible , not replacing but vitally supplementing it . They also view the New Testament as the primary instruction guide for Christian living , and church discipline . They generally call the New Testament the `` Christian Greek Scriptures '' , and see only the `` covenants '' as `` old '' or `` new '' , but not any part of the actual Scriptures themselves . United pentecostals ( edit ) Oneness Pentecostalism subscribes to the common Protestant doctrine of sola scriptura . They view the Bible as the inspired Word of God , and as absolutely inerrant in its contents ( though not necessarily in every translation ) . They regard the New Testament as perfect and inerrant in every way , revealing the Lord Jesus Christ in the Flesh , and his Atonement , and which also explains and illuminates the Old Testament perfectly , and is part of the Bible canon , not because church councils or decrees claimed it so , but by witness of the Holy Spirit . Seventh - day Adventists ( edit ) The Seventh - day Adventist Church holds the New Testament as the inspired Word of God , with God influencing the `` thoughts '' of the Apostles in the writing , not necessarily every word though . The first fundamental belief of the Seventh - Day Adventist church stated that `` The Holy Scriptures are the infallible revelation of ( God 's ) will . '' Adventist theologians generally reject the `` verbal inspiration '' position on Scripture held by many conservative evangelical Christians . They believe instead that God inspired the thoughts of the biblical authors and apostles , and that the writers then expressed these thoughts in their own words . This view is popularly known as `` thought inspiration '' , and most Adventist members hold to that view . According to Ed Christian , former JATS editor , `` few if any ATS members believe in verbal inerrancy '' . Regarding the teachings of the New Testament compared to the Old , and the application in the New Covenant , Adventists have traditionally taught that the Decalogue is part of the moral law of God , which was not abrogated by the ministry and death of Jesus Christ . Therefore , the fourth commandment concerning the Sabbath is as applicable to Christian believers as the other nine . Adventists have often taught a distinction between `` moral law '' and `` ceremonial law '' . According to Adventist beliefs , the moral law continues into the `` New Testament era '' , but the ceremonial law was done away with by Jesus . How the Mosaic law should be applied came up at Adventist conferences in the past , and Adventist theologians such as A.T. Jones and E.J. Waggoner looked at the problem addressed by Paul in Galatians as not the ceremonial law , but rather the wrong use of the law ( legalism ) . They were opposed by Uriah Smith and George Butler at the 1888 Conference . Smith in particular thought the Galatians issue had been settled by Ellen White already , yet in 1890 she claimed justification by faith is `` the third angel 's message in verity . '' Ellen White interpreted Colossians 2 : 14 as saying that the ceremonial law was nailed to the cross . Latter - day Saints ( edit ) Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter - day Saints ( LDS Church ) believe that the New Testament , as part of the Christian biblical canon , is accurate `` as far as it is translated correctly '' . They believe the Bible as originally revealed is the word of God , but that the processes of transcription and translation have introduced errors into the texts as currently available , and therefore they can not be regarded as completely inerrant . In addition to the Old and New Testaments , the Book of Mormon , the Doctrine and Covenants and the Pearl of Great Price are considered part of their scriptural canon . In the liturgy ( edit ) A Byzantine lectionary , Codex Harleianus ( l ) , 995 AD , text of John 1 : 18 . Despite the wide variety among Christian liturgies , texts from the New Testament play a role in almost all forms of Christian worship . In addition to some language derived from the New Testament in the liturgy itself ( e.g. , the Trisagion may be based on Apocalypse 4 : 8 , and the beginning of the `` Hymn of Praise '' draws upon Luke 2 : 14 ) , the reading of extended passages from the New Testament is a practice common to almost all Christian worship , liturgical or not . These readings are most often part of an established lectionary ( i.e. , selected texts to be read at church services on specific days ) , and ( together with an Old Testament reading and a Psalm ) include a non-gospel reading from the New Testament and culminate with a Gospel reading . No readings from the Book of Revelation , however , are included in the standard lectionary of the Eastern Orthodox churches . Central to the Christian liturgy is the celebration of the Eucharist or `` Holy Communion '' . The Words of Institution that begin this rite are drawn directly from 1 Corinthians 11 : 23 -- 26 . In addition , the communal recitation of the Lord 's Prayer ( in the form found in the Gospel of Matthew 6 : 9 -- 13 ) is also a standard feature of Christian worship .

Depicting the life of Jesus `` Hallelujah '' chorus The text of the famous `` Hallelujah '' chorus in G.F.

See media help . Most of the influence of the New Testament upon the arts has come from the Gospels and the Book of Revelation . Literary expansion of the Nativity of Jesus found in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke began already in the 2nd century , and the portrayal of the Nativity has continued in various art forms to this day . The earliest Christian art would often depict scenes from the New Testament such as the raising of Lazarus , the baptism of Jesus or the motif of the Good Shepherd . Biblical paraphrases and poetic renditions of stories from the life of Christ ( e.g. , the Heliand ) became popular in the Middle Ages , as did the portrayal of the arrest , trial and execution of Jesus in Passion plays . Indeed , the Passion became a central theme in Christian art and music . The ministry and Passion of Jesus , as portrayed in one or more of the New Testament Gospels , has also been a theme in film , almost since the inception of the medium ( e.g. , `` La Passion '' , France , 1903 ) .

The New Testament contains twenty - seven books , written in Greek , by fifteen or sixteen different authors , who were addressing other Christian individuals or communities between the years 50 and 120 C.E. ( see box 1.4 ) . As we will see , it is difficult to know whether any of these books was written by Jesus ' own disciples . Check date values in : date = ( help ) Jump up ^ John A.T.

They looked to see whether the ideas and writing style of a piece conformed with those used by the author in other writings , and they examined the text for any blatant anachronisms , that is , statements about things that could not have existed at the time the alleged author was writing ( like the letter reputedly from an early seventeenth - century American colonist that mentions `` the United States '' ) - Arguments of this kind were used by some Christian scholars of the third century to show that Hebrews was not written by Paul or the Book of Revelation by John the son of Zebedee . Modern scholars , as we will see , concur with these judgments . To be sure , neither of these books can be considered a forgery . Hebrews does not claim to be written by Paul ( it is anonymous ) , and the John who wrote Revelation does not claim to be the son of Zebedee ( it is therefore homonymous ) . Are there other books in the New Testament , though , that can be considered forgeries ? '' Jump up ^ Powell , Mark A. ( 2009 ) .

The four Gospels that eventually made it into the New Testament , for example , are all anonymous , written in the third person about Jesus and his companions . None of them contains a first - person narrative ( ' One day , when Jesus and I went into Capernaum ... ' ) , or claims to be written by an eyewitness or companion of an eyewitness ... Most scholars today have abandoned these identifications , and recognize that the books were written by otherwise unknown but relatively well - educated Greek - speaking ( and writing ) Christians during the second half of the first century .

The Gospels of the New Testament are therefore our earliest accounts . These do not claim to be written by eyewitnesses to the life of Jesus , and historians have long recognized that they were produced by second - or third - generation Christians living in different countries than Jesus ( and Judas ) did , speaking a different language ( Greek instead of Aramaic ) , experiencing different situations , and addressing different audiences .

Since 1913 , the company , which is a division of Weir Group PLC , has been headquartered in Portland , Oregon , USA , and has manufacturing sites throughout the world . The company designs and manufactures a host of products including ground engaging tools ( GET ) for mining , construction products , conveying , rigging , dredging and other industrial applications . Contents 1 History 2 Plant closures and violation of U.S. trade sanction with Cuba 3 Products 4 Pollution 5 See also 6 References 7 External links History ( edit ) Hot metal is poured from a ladle in an ESCO Portland foundry ESCO was founded in 1913 by Oregon businessman Charles ( C.F. ) Swigert as a local source of steel castings . The Electric Steel Foundry Company was founded on property once occupied by the 1905 Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition . The foundry used an unusual modern furnace that was fired by electricity rather than coke , making it the first of its kind in the western United States . During its first 30 years , ESCO was mainly a regional supplier of cast steel alloy products for the logging , construction , and pulp and paper industry throughout the Pacific Northwest . In the 1920s , the company expanded production to include cast steel alloy products like the Bardon choker hook , widely used in forestry . Further growth was sparked by the use of Hadfield manganese steel and the production of dragline excavator buckets . The ESCO trademark was first used in 1926 and eventually became the company 's new name . ESCO survived the Great Depression primarily as a jobbing foundry , making castings for sawmills , pulp and paper mills . In 1932 , ESCO opened its first stainless steel industrial service center . During the 1940s , ESCO added new products to meet demand for supply valves , pump bodies , anchor chains and other components for warships and tanks . In 1946 , ESCO developed the two piece tooth system and , in 1948 , the company entered the cable excavator bucket market . Due to the growing mining and construction markets after the war , ESCO launched new products and opened additional plants , sales offices , subsidiaries and licensees , including a midwest distribution facility in Danville , Illinois and a foundry in British Columbia . The company also adopted new manufacturing , inspection and metallurgical methods . During the 1960s and 1970s , ESCO expanded the manufacture of dragline and shovel dipper buckets and teeth . The company also launched a two - piece Conical tooth system and began using the argon oxygen decarburization ( AOD ) and vacuum molding processes . During the 1970s , ESCO opened an automated foundry in Newton , Mississippi and a second Canadian foundry in Ontario . During the early 1980s , ESCO launched its Helilok pin and lock system and also acquired Gray - Syracuse and Concorde Castings -- investment casting facilities serving the aerospace and power generation industries . In 1983 ESCO bought Hyster Company , and then sold it in 1989 to NACCO Industries . During the 1990s , ESCO expanded operations in the United States , the United Kingdom and Canada and entered a joint venture to manufacture products in China . The company also acquired Heflin Steel , producing wear liners and armor plate . ESCO also introduced the Super V tooth system . Additional acquisitions like Quality Steel are targeted to serve the oil sands market . ESCO has also added aerospace and power generation facilities in Belgium and Slovakia and built new facilities in Mexico and Xuzhou , China . In 2008 , ESCO introduced the SV2 tooth system , the Whisler Plus hammerless locking system , and the Ultralok hammerless tooth system . In 2006 and 2008 , ESCO was named among Oregon 's most admired manufacturing companies , according to a Portland Business Journal survey of more than 2,000 Oregon CEOs . The company announced plans for an initial public offering in May 2011 that could raise as much as $175 million . The company canceled plans for an IPO in May 2013 . On December 28 , 2012 Esco Corporation sold Turbine Technologies Group ( Esco - TTG ) to Consolidated Precision Products ( CPP ) . Sale consisted of Esco TT Belgium , Esco TT Cleveland , Esco TT Mexico , Esco TT Syracuse , Slovakia Plant , Esco Tempe Machining Facility and NY 's Oriscany Steel Treaters . CPP is a portfolio company of Warburg Pincus . ESCO announced the acquisition of Texas - based Ulterra Drilling Technologies L.P. in August 2012 in a deal estimated at $325 million . In 2014 , ESCO acquired another Texas - based company , Stabiltec Downhole Tools , LLC. , further adding to the company 's oil and gas portfolio . On April 19 , 2018 ESCO entered into an agreement to be acquired by The Weir Group PLC , one of the world 's leading engineering businesses , for an enterprise value of $1.285 billion . The acquisition was completed on July 12 , 2018 . Plant closures and violation of U.S. trade sanction with Cuba ( edit ) Commencing in 2013 , ESCO has closed multiple manufacturing and service facilities in recent years , citing a protracted downturn and declining customer demand for their products . In January 2013 , ESCO closed the Northgate , Australia foundry they purchased in 2010 . In September , 2014 ESCO closed another foundry located in Guisborough , England . In February 2015 , ESCO announced the closure of a large foundry in Nisku , Canada . ESCO laid off an estimated 25 % of their manufacturing work force at their Port Hope , Canada facility in 2014 and made further cuts in 2015 . ESCO announced the closure of another foundry in Dunedin , New Zealand in September , 2015 . In November 2015 , ESCO announced that they would be eliminating 247 employees when closing the main production plant that adjoins the North American headquarters . In 2014 , the Wall Street Journal reported that ESCO Corporation agreed to pay a $2.1 Million fine for violating U.S. sanctions imposed on Cuba . In the official penalty notice , the U.S. Treasury Department concluded that ESCO acted with `` reckless disregard `` and `` caused significant harm '' to the U.S. sanctions program on Cuba by conducting large - volume and high - value transactions in products made from Cuban - origin nickel , `` which were ultimately sourced '' from people on the U.S. blacklist .

Pollution ( edit ) In November 2011 ESCO and Portland neighborhood representatives signed a Good Neighbor Agreement , which includes an implementation schedule for 17 emission reduction projects over five years . As of April 2014 , 12 of 16 projects are completed , and one ongoing project with no completion date . Several of the projects are related to improving or adding control devices to capture particulate matter and metal emissions . It also includes projects related to chemical substitution to reduce organic compound emissions , and projects requiring additional or modified procedures or operations to improve emission capture . Plant in Northwest Portland `` Crunching pollution numbers available on the Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA ) website , group member Bob Holmstrom found that the ESCO steel plant five blocks from Chapman Elementary had doubled its emissions of metals into the air from 2002 to 2007 . '' `` Though it strives to be the greenest city in America , an exhaustive USA Today study found that six of Portland 's schools were in the worst percentile nationwide for air toxins . That puts Portland 's school air quality on par with that of Cleveland , Ohio . '' `` Industrial air pollution in Northwest Portland is significantly worse than in other parts of the city , and ESCO Corporation is the main reason why . That conclusion can be drawn from an eight - month study by USA Today applying U.S. Environmental Protection Agency data and modeling to public and private school locations across the country . For each of the seven Northwest schools , the No. 1 source of pollution was ESCO , which has a steel foundry near Northwest Vaughn Street on 25th Avenue and another off Northwest Yeon Avenue . The primary chemicals emitted by these foundries were ... '' `` ... a December 2008 USA Today story , The Smokestack Effect : Toxic Air and America 's Schools , that ranked the air around Chapman and other Northwest Portland schools among the two percent most polluted in the nation . In essence , it said school children are exposed to some of America 's most unhealthy air , largely due to ESCO 's toxic fumes . '' `` Northwest Portland activists raised the issue of manganese pollution from ESCO foundries near Chapman Elementary after a USA Today report last December that ranked Chapman among U.S. schools most at risk from industrial pollution .

With over 1.3 billion people , India is the most populous democracy in the world . It is a federal constitutional republic governed under a parliamentary system consisting of 29 states and 7 union territories . All states , as well as the union territories of Puducherry and the National Capital Territory of Delhi , have elected legislatures and governments , both patterned on the Westminster model . The remaining five union territories are directly ruled by the centre through appointed administrators . In 1956 , under the States Reorganisation Act , states were reorganised on a linguistic basis . Since then , their structure has remained largely unchanged . Each state or union territory is further divided into administrative districts . The state and union territory capitals are sorted according to no legislative and judicial capitals . The administrative capital is where the executive government offices are located , the legislative capital is where the state assembly convenes , and the judicial capital is the location of the state or territorial High Courts .

He made his first appearance during `` A Hard Day 's Night '' , which was broadcast on March 27 , 2005 . Derek was married to Addison Montgomery ( Kate Walsh ) for 12 years , before their divorce in 2006 . Before his death in 2015 , Derek was happily married to his longtime girlfriend Meredith Grey ( Ellen Pompeo ) . The couple are often referred to as `` Mer & Der '' and they have three children together . Shepherd was formerly the Chief of Surgery at Seattle Grace Mercy West Hospital , but abruptly resigned as chief in season 7 following the shooting . For his portrayal of Shepherd , Dempsey was nominated in 2006 and 2007 Golden Globe for the Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series Drama for the role , and the 2006 SAG Award for the Outstanding Performance by an Actor in a Drama Series award . Contents ( hide ) 1 Storyline 2 Development 2.1 Casting and creation 2.2 Characterization 3 Reception 4 References 5 External links Storyline ( edit ) Derek arrives at Seattle Grace Hospital as the new Head of Neurosurgery from New York City . He is a Bowdoin College graduate and attended Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons alongside his childhood best friend Mark Sloan and ex-wife Addison Montgomery and Private Practice characters Naomi Bennett and Sam Bennett . Derek was a student of Dr. Richard Webber and was enticed to come with an `` offer he could n't refuse '' -- the position of Chief of Surgery , which he eventually turned down . He specializes in highly complex tumors and conditions of the brain and spine and came to Seattle Grace with a reputation for taking on `` lost causes '' and `` impossible '' cases that most of his peers would turn down . As an attending he is both well - liked and feared -- well - liked by patients and his scrub nurses for his compassion and gentlemanly bedside manner and feared by interns and residents who are intimidated by his reputation and high standards . He is passionate about his job and has been known to expel staff or remove interns and residents ( or at least threaten them ) from his service for being disrespectful about patients or if he deems their attitude to be detrimental to his patient 's well - being . Derek first meets Meredith Grey at a bar , and soon finds out that she is an intern at Seattle Grace . They begin to have feelings for one another and it causes some awkwardness at work , particularly after her supervising resident Dr. Miranda Bailey discovers their relationship . Meredith 's housemates and fellow interns George O'Malley and Izzie Stevens both antagonized her for some time as they felt she was using her relationship with Derek to further her career . He generally tolerated them despite his dislike of sharing his living space with the interns who worked under him . While most of his family members accepted Meredith , his sister , Nancy , particularly disliked her and repeatedly called her `` the slutty intern '' ; as of season nine she still refuses to speak to Meredith or acknowledge her as her sister - in - law . His mother Carolyn approved as she felt Meredith 's gray perspective of life complemented Derek 's tendency to see everything in black and white . Derek 's background was generally a mystery for the first season and source of speculation amongst his colleagues due to his sudden departure from an established and highly respected practice in New York . In the season one finale , his past eventually catches up with him when his estranged wife Addison moves to Seattle and is offered a position by Dr. Webber . Shortly thereafter , his childhood best friend Mark joins Seattle Grace as the new head of plastic surgery . Derek and Addison attempt to repair their marriage but attempts were futile . Since their divorce they have remained on amicable terms , with Addison even admonishing Meredith for breaking up with Derek in season three . In the Private Practice episode `` Ex-Life '' Derek finally tells Addison that his mother never liked her in the first place . He admits to Meredith that Addison cheating on him with Mark was partly his fault as an absentee husband . Addison eventually leaves Seattle for a private practice in Los Angeles , spawning the spin - off Private Practice . In the season eight episode `` If / Then '' , Meredith dreams of an alternate universe where her mother never had Alzheimer 's ; Derek and Addison are still married but their strained relationship and Shepherd 's disillusionment causes his career to stagnate , earning him the nicknames `` Bad Shepherd '' and `` McDreary '' . When Derek is offered the Chief of Surgery position for the second time , he persuades the board to keep Dr. Webber on the staff . During the merger of Seattle Grace with Mercy West their relationship sours when Derek disagreed with Richard 's handling of the merger and Richard begins to display uncharacteristic behavior , not unnoticed by his fellow surgeons . Derek learns from Meredith that Richard has since resumed drinking and feels forced to have him removed as Chief of Surgery . With mixed feelings , Derek offers him an ultimatum : go into rehab and possibly pick up where he left off after , or quit completely . In seasons three and four , Meredith and Derek 's relationship becomes rocky and they each take time to date other people . Derek 's plans to propose were ruined by a series of unfortunate events in season five . In the season finale , they decide to give their planned wedding to Alex and Izzie . Due to their tight schedule , they instead informally marry and Derek writes down their `` promises '' on a post-it note . They legalize their marriage in season seven in order to adopt Zola , a young African orphan treated for spina bifida . They briefly separate after Meredith tampers with their Alzheimer 's trial , jeopardizing her career and tarnishing Derek 's reputation . Zola is taken away from Meredith after a social worker finds out she and Derek are living separately . In later seasons , Derek often griped about how his subsequent interns and residents -- mainly Lexie Grey , Shane Ross and Heather Brooks -- did not quite measure up to Meredith . The social worker comes back and announces they are the official parents of Zola . As Meredith nears the end of her fifth year of residency , she and Derek are torn between staying at Seattle Grace Mercy West or leaving for Boston where Derek would work at Harvard while Meredith would be at the Brigham and Women 's Hospital . Following his rescue from the plane crash that killed Mark and Lexie , Derek learns that he may only regain 80 percent of his hand 's function . He comes to terms with the fact that his career as a surgeon may be over and is grateful that he is alive . When Callie Torres ( Sara Ramirez ) , head of orthopedic surgery , tells him a more risky surgery could give him back full function of his hand or reduce its function if it goes wrong , he agrees , accepting the possibility of never again holding a scalpel . Derek recovers well and Callie clears him to return to work , but it is still weeks later that he feels ready to operate . Derek , Callie and fellow resident Jackson Avery decide to do nerve transplant for his hand . Meredith , newly pregnant with their second child , goes behind his back and calls his sisters so they can donate a nerve to him . Lizzie ( Neve Campbell ) , Derek 's younger sister , agrees to donate a nerve and the surgery is a success . Derek and Meredith 's marriage is strained after he accepted an invitation from the President to participate in the Brain - Mapping Initiative . He went back on his promise to her that he would not add to his current workload in order to devote time to their two young children and allow her the chance to establish her career as a full - fledged attending . Eventually he was offered a position at the National Institutes of Health in Washington , D.C. , but Meredith puts her foot down and refuses to leave her hometown and uproot their young family . His youngest sister Amelia ( Caterina Scorsone ) takes over his position at Grey Sloan . Meanwhile , he and Meredith fight bitterly on and off over whether they should move . After a bad argument , he accepts the job in the heat of the moment and leaves for Washington . While there , he and Meredith talk things out over the phone and come to a mutual conclusion that they both did not want to end their marriage . He tells her that just being with her , raising their children and operating on patients was more satisfying than `` saving the world '' . In season 11 , Derek is involved in a fatal car accident while driving to the airport for his final trip to Washington . He is able to hear and process auditory input , but unable to speak . He is recognized by Winnie , one of the victims of a crash he assisted in earlier , who tells the surgeons that their patient 's name is Derek and that he is a surgeon as well . The hospital he was taken to was understaffed and his head injury was not detected quickly enough by the interns on duty that night . Although the neurosurgeon on call is paged multiple times , he takes too long to arrive and Derek is declared brain dead . Police arrive at Meredith 's door and take her to see Derek , where she consents to removing him from life support . At the time of his death , Meredith was pregnant with their third child . She gives birth to a daughter whom she names Ellis after her mother . Derek was mentioned or referenced to a number of times in season 12 as the other characters struggle to cope with his sudden death . In the episode `` My Next Life '' , Meredith had a flashback of their first ever surgery together when a patient named Katie Bryce was admitted to the hospital with a brain aneurysm . Amelia took his death especially hard as he was the sibling she was closest to . At the end of the season , prior to her wedding to Derek 's long - time colleague Owen Hunt , Amelia goes on a nervous rant about how Derek was supposed to be the one to give her away , him having given away their three other sisters at their weddings . Development ( edit ) Casting and creation ( edit ) When Patrick Dempsey auditioned for the role of Derek Shepherd , he was afraid that he was not going to get the part . Creator Shonda Rhimes ' first reaction was : `` The very first time I met him , I was absolutely sure that he was my guy . Reading the lines of Derek Shepherd , Patrick had a vulnerable charm that I just fell for . And he had amazing chemistry with Ellen Pompeo . '' Rhimes admitted that Dempsey 's dyslexia threw her at first , particularly at the first few table readings : `` I did not know about Patrick 's dyslexia in the beginning . I actually thought that he did n't like the scripts from the way he approached the readings . When I found out , I completely understood his hesitation . Now that we all know , if he is struggling with a word , the other actors are quick to step up and help him out . Everyone is very respectful . '' Isaiah Washington also auditioned for the part and when he did not get it , he said his reaction was like `` I 'd been kicked in the stomach by 14 mules . '' Washington was , however , later cast as Preston Burke . Rob Lowe was also considered to portray Shepherd but turned the role down . Some of the character 's medical cases were inspired by real - life patients of Steve Giannotta , Chair of Neurological Surgery at the University of Southern California Keck School of Medicine , whom Rhimes had consulted in writing for Shepherd 's storylines and patients . In January 2014 , Dempsey signed a two - year contract to remain on Grey 's Anatomy ( then in its tenth season ) that would ensure his presence for potential 11th and 12th seasons . However , in April 2015 , Dempsey 's character was killed off while his contract was not over yet . Dempsey explained : `` it just sort of evolved . It 's just kind of happened . It really was something that was kind of surprising that unfolded , and it just naturally came to be . Which was pretty good . I like the way it has all played out . '' In August 2015 , Rhimes commented : `` The decision to have the character die the way that he did was not a difficult one in the sense of what were the options ? Either Derek was going to walk out on Meredith , and leave her high and dry , and what was that going to mean ? That was going to suggest that the love was not true , the thing we had said for 11 years was a lie and McDreamy was n't McDreamy . For me , that was untenable . Meredith and Derek 's love had to remain Meredith and Derek 's love . As painful as it was for me as a storyteller , because I had never really thought that was going to happen , it preserved what felt true to me , was that Derek was going to have to die in order for that love to remain honest . Because I really could n't have the idea that he just turned out to be a bad guy who walked out on his wife and kids be a true story . To me , it felt like that was the only way to make Meredith and Derek 's magic remain true and forever frozen in time . '' The character was later written to be a graduate of Bowdoin College , a liberal arts college in Brunswick , Maine , after an alumnus led a petition signed by over 450 students to `` adopt '' the character as an alumnus . Dempsey is from Lewiston , about 18 miles ( 29 km ) away from Brunswick , and was awarded an honorary doctorate by Bowdoin in 2013 . Characterization ( edit ) Rhimes describes Shepherd as typical `` Prince Charming '' . He was planned to be a doctor who does n't really care about anything , who lives in his `` own '' universe and has a big sex appeal . A man who is charming , devilishly handsome and the type of guy every girl dreams of , and a man that often makes the wrong decisions , and is often known as a jerk or the ultimate heartbreaker . Rhimes planned to have this kind of character from the beginning , because he was the kind of guy whom girls fall in love with and a character whose storylines could easily be changed . USA Today writer Robert Bianco said : `` Derek could , at times , seem like two people , warm and funny one minute , cold and self - involved the next . Dempsey 's gift was in making those two sides seem like part of the same person , while keeping us rooting for that person as a whole . '' Reception ( edit ) Dempsey 's relation with Ellen Pompeo ( Meredith Grey ) has been the highlight of the series since its inception . With the show concluding its second season , Robert Bianco of USA Today said that Emmy voters could consider him because of the `` seemingly effortless way he humanizes Derek 's ' dreamy ' appeal with ego and vanity '' . In the third season , Alan Sepinwall of The Star - Ledger wrote that `` the attempt to give the moral high ground back to McDreamy was bad . Dude , whatever happened in New York ceased to count in any kind of grievance tally once you agreed to take Addison back and give things another try . You 're the dick who cheated on her , you 're the one who knew that she found the panties , and still you act like her getting back together with Mark justifies what you did ? Wow . I did n't think it was possible for me to dislike anyone on this show more than Meredith , but congratulations , big guy . '' Debbie Chang of BuddyTV noted the character 's immaturity in the fourth season , saying : `` The only character who did not make me love him was Derek Shepherd ( Patrick Dempsey ) . How this character is still Shonda 's golden child is beyond me . Yes , we get it . He 's tormented by his love for Meredith , but that does not give him the right to lash out at her when his clinical trial patients are dying . If things do n't go absolutely the way he wants them to , then he refuses to cooperate . How immature can this man possibly be ? No amount of heavily styled hair or blue - blue - blue eyes is going to make me warm up to him unless he admits to being the needy , desperate one in the relationship . '' Entertainment Weekly placed Shepherd in its list of the `` 30 Great TV Doctors and Nurses '' . The character was also listed in Wetpaint 's `` 10 Hottest Male Doctors on TV '' and in BuzzFeed 's `` 16 Hottest Doctors On Television '' . His relationship with Meredith was included in TV Guide 's list of `` The Best TV Couples of All Time '' . Victor Balta of Today listed Shepherd and Sloan 's friendship in its `` TV 's best bromances '' . He called them `` the most exciting couple on Grey 's , '' explaining `` they 've demonstrated an easy chemistry that makes for some of the great comic relief around Seattle Grace Hospital with their banter , sage wisdom on each other 's lives , and locker room - style teasing . '' Their bromance was furthermore included in lists by About.com , BuddyTV , Cosmopolitan , Wetpaint . However , following the announcement of Dane 's upcoming departure from the show , Mark Perigard of the Boston Herald felt he and Derek `` never clicked like you 'd expect friends would . Any scene they had together ranged from uncomfortable to forced . '' References ( edit ) Jump up ^ `` Addison Shepherd Quotes -- Season 4 , Episode 13 : `` Piece of My Heart '' `` . TV Fanatic .

Europe is a continent located entirely in the Northern Hemisphere and mostly in the Eastern Hemisphere . Europe is bordered by the Arctic Ocean to the north , the Atlantic Ocean to the west , and the Mediterranean Sea to the south . It comprises the westernmost part of Eurasia . Europe is generally considered as separated from Asia by the watershed divides of the Ural and Caucasus Mountains , the Ural River , the Caspian and Black Seas , and the waterways of the Turkish Straits . Yet the non-oceanic borders of Europe -- a concept dating back to classical antiquity -- are arbitrary and amount to a historical and social construct . The primarily physiographic term `` continent '' as applied to Europe also incorporates cultural and political elements whose discontinuities are not always reflected by the continent 's current overland boundary with Asia . Europe covers about 10,180,000 square kilometres ( 3,930,000 sq mi ) , or 2 % of the Earth 's surface ( 6.8 % of land area ) . Politically , Europe is divided into about fifty sovereign states of which the Russian Federation is the largest and most populous , spanning 39 % of the continent and comprising 15 % of its population . Europe had a total population of about 741 million ( about 11 % of world population ) as of 2016 . The European climate is largely affected by warm Atlantic currents that temper winters and summers on much of the continent , even at latitudes along which the climate in Asia and North America is severe . Further from the sea , seasonal differences are more noticeable than close to the coast . Europe , in particular ancient Greece , was the birthplace of Western civilization . The fall of the Western Roman Empire , during the migration period , marked the end of ancient history and the beginning of an era known as the Middle Ages . Renaissance Humanism , exploration , art , and science led to the modern era . From the Age of Discovery onwards , Europe played a predominant role in global affairs . Between the 16th and 20th centuries , European powers controlled at various times the Americas , most of Africa , Oceania , and the majority of Asia . The Industrial Revolution , which began in Great Britain at the end of the 18th century , gave rise to radical economic , cultural , and social change in Western Europe , and eventually the wider world . Both world wars took place for the most part in Europe , contributing to a decline in Western European dominance in world affairs by the mid-20th century as the Soviet Union and the United States took prominence . During the Cold War , Europe was divided along the Iron Curtain between NATO in the west and the Warsaw Pact in the east , until the revolutions of 1989 and fall of the Berlin Wall . In 1955 , the Council of Europe was formed following a speech by Sir Winston Churchill , with the idea of unifying Europe to achieve common goals . It includes all states except for Belarus , Kazakhstan and Vatican City . Further European integration by some states led to the formation of the European Union , a separate political entity that lies between a confederation and a federation . The EU originated in Western Europe but has been expanding eastward since the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991 . The currency of most countries of the European Union , the euro , is the most commonly used among Europeans ; and the EU 's Schengen Area abolishes border and immigration controls among most of its member states . The European Anthem is `` Ode to Joy '' and states celebrate peace and unity on Europe Day .

The name contains the elements εὐρύς ( eurús ) , `` wide , broad '' and ὤψ ( ōps , gen . ὠπός , ōpós ) `` eye , face , countenance '' , hence their composite Eurṓpē would mean `` wide - gazing '' or `` broad of aspect '' . Broad has been an epithet of Earth herself in the reconstructed Proto - Indo - European religion and the poetry devoted to it . For the second part compare also the divine attributes of `` grey - eyed '' Athena ( γλαυκῶπις , glaukōpis ) or ox - eyed Hera ( βοὠπις , boōpis ) . There have been attempts to connect Eurṓpē to a Semitic term for `` west '' , this being either Akkadian erebu meaning `` to go down , set '' ( said of the sun ) or Phoenician ' ereb `` evening , west '' , which is at the origin of Arabic Maghreb and Hebrew ma'arav . Michael A. Barry , professor in Princeton University 's Near Eastern Studies Department , finds the mention of the word Ereb on an Assyrian stele with the meaning of `` night , ( the country of ) sunset '' , in opposition to Asu `` ( the country of ) sunrise '' , i.e. Asia . The same naming motive according to `` cartographic convention '' appears in Greek Ἀνατολή ( Anatolḗ `` ( sun ) rise '' , `` east '' , hence Anatolia ) . Martin Litchfield West stated that `` phonologically , the match between Europa 's name and any form of the Semitic word is very poor . '' Next to these hypotheses there is also a Proto - Indo - European root * h regwos , meaning `` darkness '' , which also produced Greek Erebus . Most major world languages use words derived from Eurṓpē or Europa to refer to the continent . Chinese , for example , uses the word Ōuzhōu ( 歐洲 / 欧洲 ) ; a similar Chinese - derived term Ōshū ( 欧州 ) is also sometimes used in Japanese such as in the Japanese name of the European Union , Ōshū Rengō ( 欧州 連合 ) , despite the katakana Yōroppa ( ヨーロッパ ) being more commonly used . In some Turkic languages the originally Persian name Frangistan ( `` land of the Franks '' ) is used casually in referring to much of Europe , besides official names such as Avrupa or Evropa .

Europe is taken to be bounded by large bodies of water to the north , west and south ; Europe 's limits to the far east are usually taken to be the Urals , the Ural River , and the Caspian Sea ; to the southeast , including the Caucasus Mountains , the Black Sea and the waterways connecting the Black Sea to the Mediterranean Sea . Islands are generally grouped with the nearest continental landmass , hence Iceland is generally considered to be part of Europe , while the nearby island of Greenland is usually assigned to North America . Nevertheless , there are some exceptions based on sociopolitical and cultural differences . Cyprus is closest to Anatolia ( or Asia Minor ) , but is usually considered part of Europe both culturally and politically and is a member state of the EU . Malta was considered an island of North Africa for centuries . `` Europe '' as used specifically in British English may also refer to Continental Europe exclusively . History of the concept Early History A medieval T and O map from 1472 showing the three continents as domains of the sons of Noah -- Asia to Sem ( Shem ) , Europe to Iafeth ( Japheth ) , and Africa to Cham ( Ham ) The first recorded usage of Eurṓpē as a geographic term is in the Homeric Hymn to Delian Apollo , in reference to the western shore of the Aegean Sea . As a name for a part of the known world , it is first used in the 6th century BC by Anaximander and Hecataeus . Anaximander placed the boundary between Asia and Europe along the Phasis River ( the modern Rioni River ) in the Caucasus , a convention still followed by Herodotus in the 5th century BC . Herodotus mentioned that the world had been divided by unknown persons into three parts , Europe , Asia , and Libya ( Africa ) , with the Nile and the Phasis forming their boundaries -- though he also states that some considered the River Don , rather than the Phasis , as the boundary between Europe and Asia . Europe 's eastern frontier was defined in the 1st century by geographer Strabo at the River Don . The Book of Jubilees described the continents as the lands given by Noah to his three sons ; Europe was defined as stretching from the Pillars of Hercules at the Strait of Gibraltar , separating it from North Africa , to the Don , separating it from Asia . The convention received by the Middle Ages and surviving into modern usage is that of the Roman era used by Roman era authors such as Posidonius , Strabo and Ptolemy , who took the Tanais ( the modern Don River ) as the boundary . The term `` Europe '' is first used for a cultural sphere in the Carolingian Renaissance of the 9th century . From that time , the term designated the sphere of influence of the Western Church , as opposed to both the Eastern Orthodox churches and to the Islamic world . A cultural definition of Europe as the lands of Latin Christendom coalesced in the 8th century , signifying the new cultural condominium created through the confluence of Germanic traditions and Christian - Latin culture , defined partly in contrast with Byzantium and Islam , and limited to northern Iberia , the British Isles , France , Christianised western Germany , the Alpine regions and northern and central Italy . The concept is one of the lasting legacies of the Carolingian Renaissance : `` Europa '' often figures in the letters of Charlemagne 's court scholar , Alcuin . Modern definitions Further information : Geopolitical divisions of Europe and Core Europe Depiction of Europa regina ( ' Queen Europe ' ) in 1582 . The question of defining a precise eastern boundary of Europe arises in the Early Modern period , as the eastern extension of Muscovy began to include Northern Asia . Throughout the Middle Ages and into the 18th century , the traditional division of the landmass of Eurasia into two continents , Europe and Asia , followed Ptolemy , with the boundary following the Turkish Straits , the Black Sea , the Kerch Strait , the Sea of Azov and the Don ( ancient Tanais ) . But maps produced during the 16th to 18th centuries tended to differ in how to continue the boundary beyond the Don bend at Kalach - na - Donu ( where it is closest to the Volga , now joined with it by the Volga -- Don Canal ) , into territory not described in any detail by the ancient geographers . Philip Johan von Strahlenberg in 1725 was the first to depart from the classical Don boundary by drawing the line along the Volga , following the Volga north until the Samara Bend , along Obshchy Syrt ( the drainage divide between Volga and Ural ) and then north along Ural Mountains . This was adopted by the Russian Empire , and introduced the convention that would eventually become adopted as standard , but not without criticism by many modern analytical geographers . The mapmakers continued to differ on the boundary between the lower Don and Samara well into the 19th century . The 1745 atlas published by the Russian Academy of Sciences has the boundary follow the Don beyond Kalach as far as Serafimovich before cutting north towards Arkhangelsk , while other 18th - to 19th - century mapmakers such as John Cary followed Strahlenberg 's prescription . To the south , the Kuma -- Manych Depression was identified circa 1773 by a German naturalist , Peter Simon Pallas , as a valley that , once upon a time , connected the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea , and subsequently was proposed as a natural boundary between continents . By the mid-19th century , there were three main conventions , one following the Don , the Volga -- Don Canal and the Volga , the other following the Kuma -- Manych Depression to the Caspian and then the Ural River , and the third abandoning the Don altogether , following the Greater Caucasus watershed to the Caspian . The question was still treated as a `` controversy '' in geographical literature of the 1860s , with Douglas Freshfield advocating the Caucasus crest boundary as the `` best possible '' , citing support from various `` modern geographers '' . In Russia and the Soviet Union , the boundary along the Kuma -- Manych Depression was the most commonly used as early as 1906 . In 1958 , the Soviet Geographical Society formally recommended that the boundary between the Europe and Asia be drawn in textbooks from Baydaratskaya Bay , on the Kara Sea , along the eastern foot of Ural Mountains , then following the Ural River until the Mugodzhar Hills , and then the Emba River ; and Kuma -- Manych Depression , thus placing the Caucasus entirely in Asia and the Urals entirely in Europe . However , most geographers in the Soviet Union favoured the boundary along the Caucasus crest and this became the standard convention in the later 20th century , although the Kuma -- Manych boundary remained in use in some 20th - century maps . History Main article : History of Europe Prehistory. Main article : Prehistoric Europe Paleolithic cave paintings from Lascaux in France ( c 15,000 BC ) Homo erectus georgicus , which lived roughly 1.8 million years ago in Georgia , is the earliest hominid to have been discovered in Europe . Other hominid remains , dating back roughly 1 million years , have been discovered in Atapuerca , Spain . Neanderthal man ( named after the Neandertal valley in Germany ) appeared in Europe 150,000 years ago and disappeared from the fossil record about 28,000 BC , with this extinction probably due to climate change , and their final refuge being present - day Portugal . The Neanderthals were supplanted by modern humans ( Cro - Magnons ) , who appeared in Europe around 43 to 40 thousand years ago . Stonehenge in the United Kingdom ( Late Neolithic from 3000 - 2000 BC ) . Neolithic terracotta figurine from Vinča in Serbia ( 4500 -- 4000 BC ) The Nebra sky disk from the Bronze Age ( 1600 BC ) , Germany The European Neolithic period -- marked by the cultivation of crops and the raising of livestock , increased numbers of settlements and the widespread use of pottery -- began around 7000 BC in Greece and the Balkans , probably influenced by earlier farming practices in Anatolia and the Near East . It spread from the Balkans along the valleys of the Danube and the Rhine ( Linear Pottery culture ) and along the Mediterranean coast ( Cardial culture ) . Between 4500 and 3000 BC , these central European neolithic cultures developed further to the west and the north , transmitting newly acquired skills in producing copper artefacts . In Western Europe the Neolithic period was characterised not by large agricultural settlements but by field monuments , such as causewayed enclosures , burial mounds and megalithic tombs . The Corded Ware cultural horizon flourished at the transition from the Neolithic to the Chalcolithic . During this period giant megalithic monuments , such as the Megalithic Temples of Malta and Stonehenge , were constructed throughout Western and Southern Europe . The European Bronze Age began c. 3200 BC in Greece with the Minoan civilization on Crete , the first advanced civilization in Europe . The Minoans were followed by the Myceneans , who collapsed suddenly around 1200 BC , ushering the European Iron Age . Iron Age colonisation by the Greeks and Phoenicians gave rise to early Mediterranean cities . Early Iron Age Italy and Greece from around the 8th century BC gradually gave rise to historical Classical antiquity , whose beginning is sometimes dated to 776 BC , the year the first Olympic Games . Classical antiquity Main article : Classical antiquity See also : Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome The Parthenon in Athens ( 432 BC ) Ancient Greece was the founding culture of Western civilisation . Western democratic and rationalist culture are often attributed to Ancient Greece . The Greeks city - state , the polis , was the fundamental political unit of classical Greece . In 508 BC , Cleisthenes instituted the world 's first democratic system of government in Athens . The Greek political ideals were rediscovered in the late 18th century by European philosophers and idealists . Greece also generated many cultural contributions : in philosophy , humanism and rationalism under Aristotle , Socrates and Plato ; in history with Herodotus and Thucydides ; in dramatic and narrative verse , starting with the epic poems of Homer ; in drama with Sophocles and Euripides , in medicine with Hippocrates and Galen ; and in science with Pythagoras , Euclid and Archimedes . In the course of the 5th century BC , several of the Greek city states would ultimately check the Achaemenid Persian advance in Europe through the Greco - Persian Wars , considered a pivotal moment in world history , as the 50 years of peace that followed are known as Golden Age of Athens , the seminal period of ancient Greece that laid many of the foundations of Western civilization . The Roman Empire at its greatest extent in 117 AD . Augustus wearing the Civic Crown Greece was followed by Rome , which left its mark on law , politics , language , engineering , architecture , government and many more key aspects in western civilisation . Expanding from their base in Italy beginning in the 3rd century BC , the Romans gradually expanded to eventually rule the entire Mediterranean basin and western Europe by the turn of the millennium . The Roman Republic ended in 27 BC , when Augustus proclaimed the Roman Empire . The two centuries that followed are known as the pax romana , a period of unprecedented peace , prosperity , and political stability in most of Europe . The empire continued to expand under emperors such as Antoninus Pius and Marcus Aurelius , who spent time on the Empire 's northern border fighting Germanic , Pictish and Scottish tribes . The Empire began to decline in the 3rd century , particularly in the west . Christianity was legalised by Constantine I in 313 AD after three centuries of imperial persecution . Constantine also permanently moved the capital of the empire from Rome to the city of Byzantium , which was renamed Constantinople in his honour ( modern - day Istanbul ) in 330 AD . Christianity became the sole official religion of the empire in 380 AD , and in 391 - 392 AD , the emperor Theodosius outlawed pagan religions . This is sometimes considered to mark the end of antiquity ; alternatively antiquity is considered to end with the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 AD ; the closure of the pagan Platonic Academy of Athens in 529 AD ; or the rise of Islam in the early 7th century AD . Early Middle Ages Main articles : Late Antiquity and Early Middle Ages See also : Dark Ages ( historiography ) and Age of Migrations Europe c. 650 Charlemagne 's empire in 814 : Francia , Tributaries During the decline of the Roman Empire , Europe entered a long period of change arising from what historians call the `` Age of Migrations '' . There were numerous invasions and migrations amongst the Ostrogoths , Visigoths , Goths , Vandals , Huns , Franks , Angles , Saxons , Slavs , Avars , Bulgars and , later on , the Vikings , Pechenegs , Cumans and Magyars . Renaissance thinkers such as Petrarch would later refer to this as the `` Dark Ages '' . Isolated monastic communities were the only places to safeguard and compile written knowledge accumulated previously ; apart from this very few written records survive and much literature , philosophy , mathematics , and other thinking from the classical period disappeared from Western Europe though they were preserved in the east , in the Byzantine Empire . While the Roman empire in the west continued to decline , Roman traditions and the Roman state remained strong in the predominantly Greek - speaking Eastern Roman Empire , also known as the Byzantine Empire . During most of its existence , the Byzantine Empire was the most powerful economic , cultural , and military force in Europe . Emperor Justinian I presided over Constantinople 's first golden age : he established a legal code that forms the basis of many modern legal systems , funded the construction of the Hagia Sophia , and brought the Christian church under state control . Roland pledges fealty to Charlemagne , Holy Roman Emperor Delegations of Croats and Serbs at Byzantine court of Basil I From the 7th century onwards , as the Byzantines and neighbouring Sasanid Persians were severely weakened due the protracted , centuries - lasting and frequent Byzantine -- Sasanian wars , the Muslim Arabs began to make inroads into historically Roman territory , taking the Levant and North Africa and making inroads into Asia Minor . In the mid 7th century AD , following the Muslim conquest of Persia , Islam penetrated into the Caucasus region . Over the next centuries Muslim forces took Cyprus , Malta , Crete , Sicily and parts of southern Italy . Between 711 and 720 , most of the Iberian Peninsula was brought under Muslim rule -- save for small areas in the northwest ( Asturias ) and largely Basque regions in the Pyrenees . This territory , under the Arabic name Al - Andalus , became part of the expanding Umayyad Caliphate . The unsuccessful second siege of Constantinople ( 717 ) weakened the Umayyad dynasty and reduced their prestige . The Umayyads were then defeated by the Frankish leader Charles Martel at the Battle of Poitiers in 732 , which ended their northward advance . During the Dark Ages , the Western Roman Empire fell under the control of various tribes . The Germanic and Slav tribes established their domains over Western and Eastern Europe respectively . Eventually the Frankish tribes were united under Clovis I. Charlemagne , a Frankish king of the Carolingian dynasty who had conquered most of Western Europe , was anointed `` Holy Roman Emperor '' by the Pope in 800 . This led in 962 to the founding of the Holy Roman Empire , which eventually became centred in the German principalities of central Europe . East Central Europe saw the creation of the first Slavic states and the adoption of Christianity ( circa 1000 AD ) . The powerful West Slavic state of Great Moravia spread its territory all the way south to the Balkans , reaching its largest territorial extent under Svatopluk I and causing a series of armed conflicts with East Francia . Further south , the first South Slavic states emerged in the late 7th and 8th century and adopted Christianity : the First Bulgarian Empire , the Serbian Principality ( later Kingdom and Empire ) , and the Duchy of Croatia ( later Kingdom of Croatia ) . To the East , the Kievan Rus expanded from its capital in Kiev to become the largest state in Europe by the 10th century . In 988 , Vladimir the Great adopted Orthodox Christianity as the religion of state . Further East , Volga Bulgaria became an Islamic state in the 10th century , but was eventually absorbed into Russia several centuries later . High and late Middle Ages Main articles : High Middle Ages , Late Middle Ages , and Middle Ages See also : Medieval demography The period between the year 1000 and 1300 is known as the High Middle Ages , during which the population of Europe experienced significant growth , culminating in the Renaissance of the 12th century . Economic growth , together with the lack of safety on the mainland trading routes , made possible the development of major commercial routes along the coast of the Mediterranean and Baltic Seas . The growing wealth and independence acquired by some coastal cities gave the Maritime Republics a leading role in the European scene . Tancred of Sicily and Philip II of France , during the Third Crusade ( 1189 -- 1192 ) The Middle Ages on the mainland were dominated by the two upper echelons of the social structure : the nobility and the clergy . Feudalism developed in France in the Early Middle Ages and soon spread throughout Europe . A struggle for influence between the nobility and the monarchy in England led to the writing of the Magna Carta and the establishment of a parliament . The primary source of culture in this period came from the Roman Catholic Church . Through monasteries and cathedral schools , the Church was responsible for education in much of Europe . The Papacy reached the height of its power during the High Middle Ages . An East - West Schism in 1054 split the former Roman Empire religiously , with the Eastern Orthodox Church in the Byzantine Empire and the Roman Catholic Church in the former Western Roman Empire . In 1095 Pope Urban II called for a crusade against Muslims occupying Jerusalem and the Holy Land . In Europe itself , the Church organised the Inquisition against heretics . In Spain , the Reconquista concluded with the fall of Granada in 1492 , ending over seven centuries of Islamic rule in the Iberian Peninsula . In the east a resurgent Byzantine Empire recaptured Crete and Cyprus from the Muslims and reconquered the Balkans . Constantinople was the largest and wealthiest city in Europe from the 9th to the 12th centuries , with a population of approximately 400,000 . The Empire was weakened following the defeat at Manzikert and was weakened considerably by the sack of Constantinople in 1204 , during the Fourth Crusade . Although it would recover Constantinople in 1261 , Byzantium fell in 1453 when Constantinople was taken by the Ottoman Empire . The sacking of Suzdal by Batu Khan in 1238 , during the Mongol invasion of Europe . In the 11th and 12th centuries , constant incursions by nomadic Turkic tribes , such as the Pechenegs and the Cuman - Kipchaks , caused a massive migration of Slavic populations to the safer , heavily forested regions of the north and temporarily halted the expansion of the Rus ' state to the south and east . Like many other parts of Eurasia , these territories were overrun by the Mongols . The invaders , who became known as Tatars , were mostly Turkic - speaking peoples under Mongol suzerainty . They established the state of the Golden Horde with headquarters in Crimea , which later adopted Islam as a religion and ruled over modern - day southern and central Russia for more than three centuries . After the collapse of Mongol dominions , the first Romanian states ( principalities ) emerged in the 14th century : Moldova and Walachia . Previously , these territories were under the successive control of Pechenegs and Cumans . From the 12th to the 15th centuries , the Grand Duchy of Moscow grew from a small principality under Mongol rule to the largest state in Europe , overthrowing the Mongols in 1480 and eventually becoming the Tsardom of Russia . The state was consolidated under Ivan III the Great and Ivan the Terrible , steadily expanding to the east and south over the next centuries . The Great Famine of 1315 -- 1317 was the first crisis that would strike Europe in the late Middle Ages . The period between 1348 and 1420 witnessed the heaviest loss . The population of France was reduced by half . Medieval Britain was afflicted by 95 famines , and France suffered the effects of 75 or more in the same period . Europe was devastated in the mid-14th century by the Black Death , one of the most deadly pandemics in human history which killed an estimated 25 million people in Europe alone -- a third of the European population at the time . The plague had a devastating effect on Europe 's social structure ; it induced people to live for the moment as illustrated by Giovanni Boccaccio in The Decameron ( 1353 ) . It was a serious blow to the Roman Catholic Church and led to increased persecution of Jews , foreigners , beggars and lepers . The plague is thought to have returned every generation with varying virulence and mortalities until the 18th century . During this period , more than 100 plague epidemics swept across Europe . Early modern period Main article : Early modern period See also : Renaissance , Protestant Reformation , Scientific Revolution , and Age of Discovery The School of Athens by Raphael ( 1511 ) : Contemporaries such as Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci ( centre ) are portrayed as classical scholars . The Renaissance was a period of cultural change originating in Florence and later spreading to the rest of Europe . The rise of a new humanism was accompanied by the recovery of forgotten classical Greek and Arabic knowledge from monastic libraries , often translated from Arabic into Latin . The Renaissance spread across Europe between the 14th and 16th centuries : it saw the flowering of art , philosophy , music , and the sciences , under the joint patronage of royalty , the nobility , the Roman Catholic Church , and an emerging merchant class . Patrons in Italy , including the Medici family of Florentine bankers and the Popes in Rome , funded prolific quattrocento and cinquecento artists such as Raphael , Michelangelo , and Leonardo da Vinci . Political intrigue within the Church in the mid-14th century caused the Western Schism . During this forty - year period , two popes -- one in Avignon and one in Rome -- claimed rulership over the Church . Although the schism was eventually healed in 1417 , the papacy 's spiritual authority had suffered greatly . Martin Luther ( 1483 -- 1546 ) initiated the Protestant Reformation . The Church 's power was further weakened by the Protestant Reformation ( 1517 -- 1648 ) , initially sparked by the works of German theologian Martin Luther , an attempt to start a reform within the Church . The Reformation also damaged the Holy Roman Emperor 's influence , as German princes became divided between Protestant and Roman Catholic faiths . This eventually led to the Thirty Years War ( 1618 -- 1648 ) , which crippled the Holy Roman Empire and devastated much of Germany , killing between 25 and 40 percent of its population . In the aftermath of the Peace of Westphalia , France rose to predominance within Europe . The 17th century in southern , central and eastern Europe was a period of general decline . Central and Eastern Europe experienced more than 150 famines in a 200 - year period between 1501 and 1700 . From the Union of Krewo ( 1385 ) central and eastern Europe was dominated by Kingdom of Poland and Grand Duchy of Lithuania . Between 1648 and 1655 in the central and eastern Europe ended hegemony of the Polish -- Lithuanian Commonwealth . From the 15th to 18th centuries , when the disintegrating khanates of the Golden Horde were conquered by Russia , Tatars from the Crimean Khanate frequently raided Eastern Slavic lands to capture slaves . Further east , the Nogai Horde and Kazakh Khanate frequently raided the Slavic - speaking areas of Russia , Ukraine and Poland for hundreds of years , until the Russian expansion and conquest of most of northern Eurasia ( i.e. Eastern Europe , Central Asia and Siberia ) . Meanwhile , in the south , the Ottomans had conquered the Balkans by the 15th century , laying siege to Vienna in 1529 . In the Battle of Lepanto in 1571 , the Holy League checked Ottoman power in the Mediterranean . The Ottomans again laid siege to Vienna in 1683 , but the Battle of Vienna permanently ended their advance into Europe , and marked the political hegemony of the Habsburg dynasty in central Europe . The Renaissance and the New Monarchs marked the start of an Age of Discovery , a period of exploration , invention , and scientific development . Among the great figures of the Western scientific revolution of the 16th and 17th centuries were Copernicus , Kepler , Galileo , and Isaac Newton . According to Peter Barrett , `` It is widely accepted that ' modern science ' arose in the Europe of the 17th century ( towards the end of the Renaissance ) , introducing a new understanding of the natural world . '' In the 15th century , Europe started to extend itself beyond its geographic frontiers . Portugal and Spain , two of the greatest naval powers of the time , took the lead in exploring the world . Christopher Columbus reached the New World in 1492 and Vasco da Gama opened the ocean route to the East in 1498 , and soon after the Spanish and Portuguese began establishing colonial empires in the Americas and Asia . France , the Netherlands and England soon followed in building large colonial empires with vast holdings in Africa , the Americas , and Asia . 18th and 19th centuries Main article : Modern history See also : Industrial Revolution , French Revolution , and Age of Enlightenment Napoleon 's retreat from Russia in 1812 . Napoleon 's Grande Armée had lost about half a million men . The Age of Enlightenment was a powerful intellectual movement during the 18th century promoting scientific and reason - based thoughts . Discontent with the aristocracy and clergy 's monopoly on political power in France resulted in the French Revolution and the establishment of the First Republic as a result of which the monarchy and many of the nobility perished during the initial reign of terror . Napoleon Bonaparte rose to power in the aftermath of the French Revolution and established the First French Empire that , during the Napoleonic Wars , grew to encompass large parts of Europe before collapsing in 1815 with the Battle of Waterloo . Napoleonic rule resulted in the further dissemination of the ideals of the French Revolution , including that of the nation - state , as well as the widespread adoption of the French models of administration , law , and education . The Congress of Vienna , convened after Napoleon 's downfall , established a new balance of power in Europe centred on the five `` Great Powers '' : the UK , France , Prussia , Austria , and Russia . This balance would remain in place until the Revolutions of 1848 , during which liberal uprisings affected all of Europe except for Russia and the UK . These revolutions were eventually put down by conservative elements and few reforms resulted . The year 1859 saw the unification of Romania , as a nation - state , from smaller principalities . In 1867 , the Austro - Hungarian empire was formed ; and 1871 saw the unifications of both Italy and Germany as nation - states from smaller principalities . Ottoman Europe in 1856 In parallel , the Eastern Question grew more complex ever since the Ottoman defeat in the Russo - Turkish War ( 1768 -- 1774 ) . As the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire seemed imminent , the Great Powers struggled to safeguard their strategic and commercial interests in the Ottoman domains . The Russian Empire stood to benefit from the decline , whereas the Habsburg Empire and Britain perceived the preservation of the Ottoman Empire to be in their best interests . Meanwhile , the Serbian revolution ( 1804 ) and Greek War of Independence ( 1821 ) marked the beginning of the end of Ottoman rule in the Balkans , which ended with the Balkan Wars in 1912 - 1913 . Formal recognition of the de facto independent principalities of Montenegro , Serbia and Romania ensued at the Congress of Berlin in 1878 . Marshall 's Temple Works ( 1840 ) , the Industrial Revolution started in Great Britain The Industrial Revolution started in Great Britain in the last part of the 18th century and spread throughout Europe . The invention and implementation of new technologies resulted in rapid urban growth , mass employment , and the rise of a new working class . Reforms in social and economic spheres followed , including the first laws on child labour , the legalisation of trade unions , and the abolition of slavery . In Britain , the Public Health Act of 1875 was passed , which significantly improved living conditions in many British cities . Europe 's population increased from about 100 million in 1700 to 400 million by 1900 . The last major famine recorded in Western Europe , the Irish Potato Famine , caused death and mass emigration of millions of Irish people . In the 19th century , 70 million people left Europe in migrations to various European colonies abroad and to the United States . Demographic growth meant that , by 1900 , Europe 's share of the world 's population was 25 % . 20th century to the present Main articles : Modern era and History of Europe See also : World War I , Great Depression , Interwar period , World War II , Cold War , and History of the European Union Leaders of the Central Powers in 1918 ( left to right ) : Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany , Kaiser Franz Joseph of Austria - Hungary , Sultan Mehmed V of the Ottoman Empire , and Tsar Ferdinand of Bulgaria . Two world wars and an economic depression dominated the first half of the 20th century . World War I was fought between 1914 and 1918 . It started when Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria was assassinated by the Yugoslav nationalist Gavrilo Princip . Most European nations were drawn into the war , which was fought between the Entente Powers ( France , Belgium , Serbia , Portugal , Russia , the United Kingdom , and later Italy , Greece , Romania , and the United States ) and the Central Powers ( Austria - Hungary , Germany , Bulgaria , and the Ottoman Empire ) . The war left more than 16 million civilians and military dead . Over 60 million European soldiers were mobilised from 1914 to 1918 . Serbian war efforts ( 1914 -- 1918 ) cost the country one quarter of its population . Russia was plunged into the Russian Revolution , which threw down the Tsarist monarchy and replaced it with the communist Soviet Union . Austria - Hungary and the Ottoman Empire collapsed and broke up into separate nations , and many other nations had their borders redrawn . The Treaty of Versailles , which officially ended World War I in 1919 , was harsh towards Germany , upon whom it placed full responsibility for the war and imposed heavy sanctions . Excess deaths in Russia over the course of World War I and the Russian Civil War ( including the postwar famine ) amounted to a combined total of 18 million . In 1932 -- 1933 , under Stalin 's leadership , confiscations of grain by the Soviet authorities contributed to the second Soviet famine which caused millions of deaths ; surviving kulaks were persecuted and many sent to Gulags to do forced labour . Stalin was also responsible for the Great Purge of 1937 -- 38 in which the NKVD executed 681,692 people ; millions of people were deported and exiled to remote areas of the Soviet Union . The social revolutions sweeping through Russia also affected other European nations following The Great War : in 1919 , with the Weimar Republic in Germany , and the First Austrian Republic ; in 1922 , with Mussolini 's one party fascist government in the Kingdom of Italy , and in Ataturk 's Turkish Republic , adopting the Western alphabet , and state secularism . Economic instability , caused in part by debts incurred in the First World War and ' loans ' to Germany played havoc in Europe in the late 1920s and 1930s . This and the Wall Street Crash of 1929 brought about the worldwide Great Depression . Helped by the economic crisis , social instability and the threat of communism , fascist movements developed throughout Europe placing Adolf Hitler in power of what became Nazi Germany . In 1933 , Hitler became the leader of Germany and began to work towards his goal of building Greater Germany . Germany re-expanded and took back the Saarland and Rhineland in 1935 and 1936 . In 1938 , Austria became a part of Germany following the Anschluss . Later that year , following the Munich Agreement signed by Germany , France , the United Kingdom and Italy , Germany annexed the Sudetenland , which was a part of Czechoslovakia inhabited by ethnic Germans , and in early 1939 , the remainder of Czechoslovakia was split into the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia , controlled by Germany , and the Slovak Republic . At the time , Britain and France preferred a policy of appeasement . Bombed and burned - out buildings in Hamburg , 1944 / 45 With tensions mounting between Germany and Poland over the future of Danzig , the Germans turned to the Soviets , and signed the Molotov -- Ribbentrop Pact , which allowed the Soviets to invade the Baltic states and parts of Poland and Romania . Germany invaded Poland on 1 September 1939 , prompting France and the United Kingdom to declare war on Germany on 3 September , opening the European Theatre of World War II . The Soviet invasion of Poland started on 17 September and Poland fell soon thereafter . On 24 September , the Soviet Union attacked the Baltic countries and later , Finland . The British hoped to land at Narvik and send troops to aid Finland , but their primary objective in the landing was to encircle Germany and cut the Germans off from Scandinavian resources . Around the same time , Germany moved troops into Denmark . The Phoney War continued . In May 1940 , Germany attacked France through the Low Countries . France capitulated in June 1940 . By August Germany began a bombing offensive on Britain , but failed to convince the Britons to give up . In 1941 , Germany invaded the Soviet Union in the Operation Barbarossa . On 7 December 1941 Japan 's attack on Pearl Harbor drew the United States into the conflict as allies of the British Empire and other allied forces . The `` Big Three '' at the Yalta Conference in 1945 ; seated ( from the left ) : Winston Churchill , Franklin D. Roosevelt , and Joseph Stalin After the staggering Battle of Stalingrad in 1943 , the German offensive in the Soviet Union turned into a continual fallback . The Battle of Kursk , which involved the largest tank battle in history , was the last major German offensive on the Eastern Front . In June 1944 , British and American forces invaded France in the D - Day landings , opening a new front against Germany . Berlin finally fell in 1945 , ending World War II in Europe . The war was the largest and most destructive in human history , with 60 million dead across the world . More than 40 million people in Europe had died as a result of World War II , including between 11 and 17 million people who perished during the Holocaust . The Soviet Union lost around 27 million people ( mostly civilians ) during the war , about half of all World War II casualties . By the end of World War II , Europe had more than 40 million refugees . Several post-war expulsions in Central and Eastern Europe displaced a total of about 20 million people . World War I and especially World War II diminished the eminence of Western Europe in world affairs . After World War II the map of Europe was redrawn at the Yalta Conference and divided into two blocs , the Western countries and the communist Eastern bloc , separated by what was later called by Winston Churchill an `` Iron Curtain '' . The United States and Western Europe established the NATO alliance and later the Soviet Union and Central Europe established the Warsaw Pact . The Schuman Declaration led to the creation of the European Coal and Steel Community . It began the integration process of the European Union ( 9 May 1950 , at the French Foreign Ministry ) . The two new superpowers , the United States and the Soviet Union , became locked in a fifty - year - long Cold War , centred on nuclear proliferation . At the same time decolonisation , which had already started after World War I , gradually resulted in the independence of most of the European colonies in Asia and Africa . In the 1980s the reforms of Mikhail Gorbachev and the Solidarity movement in Poland accelerated the collapse of the Eastern bloc and the end of the Cold War . Germany was reunited , after the symbolic fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 , and the maps of Central and Eastern Europe were redrawn once more . Flag of Europe , adopted by the Council of Europe in 1955 as the flag for the whole of Europe . European integration also grew after World War II . The Treaty of Rome in 1957 established the European Economic Community between six Western European states with the goal of a unified economic policy and common market . In 1967 the EEC , European Coal and Steel Community and Euratom formed the European Community , which in 1993 became the European Union . The EU established a parliament , court and central bank and introduced the euro as a unified currency . Between 2004 and 2013 , more Central and Eastern European countries began joining , expanding the EU to its current size of 28 European countries , and once more making Europe a major economical and political centre of power . However , in June 2016 the people of the United Kingdom , in a national referndum on EU membership voted to leave the European Union . Geography Main article : Geography of Europe Relief map of Europe and surrounding regions Europe makes up the western fifth of the Eurasian landmass . It has a higher ratio of coast to landmass than any other continent or subcontinent . Its maritime borders consist of the Arctic Ocean to the north , the Atlantic Ocean to the west , and the Mediterranean , Black , and Caspian Seas to the south . Land relief in Europe shows great variation within relatively small areas . The southern regions are more mountainous , while moving north the terrain descends from the high Alps , Pyrenees , and Carpathians , through hilly uplands , into broad , low northern plains , which are vast in the east . This extended lowland is known as the Great European Plain , and at its heart lies the North German Plain . An arc of uplands also exists along the north - western seaboard , which begins in the western parts of the islands of Britain and Ireland , and then continues along the mountainous , fjord - cut spine of Norway . This description is simplified . Sub-regions such as the Iberian Peninsula and the Italian Peninsula contain their own complex features , as does mainland Central Europe itself , where the relief contains many plateaus , river valleys and basins that complicate the general trend . Sub-regions like Iceland , Britain , and Ireland are special cases . The former is a land unto itself in the northern ocean which is counted as part of Europe , while the latter are upland areas that were once joined to the mainland until rising sea levels cut them off . Climate Main article : Climate of Europe Biomes of Europe and surrounding regions : tundra alpine tundra taiga montane forest temperate broadleaf forest mediterranean forest temperate steppe dry steppe Europe lies mainly in the temperate climate zones , being subjected to prevailing westerlies . The climate is milder in comparison to other areas of the same latitude around the globe due to the influence of the Gulf Stream . The Gulf Stream is nicknamed `` Europe 's central heating '' , because it makes Europe 's climate warmer and wetter than it would otherwise be . The Gulf Stream not only carries warm water to Europe 's coast but also warms up the prevailing westerly winds that blow across the continent from the Atlantic Ocean . Therefore , the average temperature throughout the year of Naples is 16 ° C ( 61 ° F ) , while it is only 12 ° C ( 54 ° F ) in New York City which is almost on the same latitude . Berlin , Germany ; Calgary , Canada ; and Irkutsk , in the Asian part of Russia , lie on around the same latitude ; January temperatures in Berlin average around 8 ° C ( 14 ° F ) higher than those in Calgary , and they are almost 22 ° C ( 40 ° F ) higher than average temperatures in Irkutsk . Similarly , northern parts of Scotland have a tempertate marine climate . The yearly average temperature in city of Inverness is 9.05 ° C ( 48.29 ° F ) . However , Churchill , Manitoba , Canada , is on roughly the same latitude and has an average temperature of − 6.5 ° C ( 20.3 ° F ) , giving it a nearly subarctic climate . Geology Main articles : Geology of Europe and Geological history of Europe Mount Elbrus in Russia is the highest mountain in Europe . The geological history of Europe traces back to the formation of the Baltic Shield ( Fennoscandia ) and the Sarmatian craton , both around 2.25 billion years ago , followed by the Volgo -- Uralia shield , the three together leading to the East European craton ( ≈ Baltica ) which became a part of the supercontinent Columbia . Around 1.1 billion years ago , Baltica and Arctica ( as part of the Laurentia block ) became joined to Rodinia , later resplitting around 550 million years ago to reform as Baltica . Around 440 million years ago Euramerica was formed from Baltica and Laurentia ; a further joining with Gondwana then leading to the formation of Pangea . Around 190 million years ago , Gondwana and Laurasia split apart due to the widening of the Atlantic Ocean . Finally , and very soon afterwards , Laurasia itself split up again , into Laurentia ( North America ) and the Eurasian continent . The land connection between the two persisted for a considerable time , via Greenland , leading to interchange of animal species . From around 50 million years ago , rising and falling sea levels have determined the actual shape of Europe , and its connections with continents such as Asia . Europe 's present shape dates to the late Tertiary period about five million years ago . Europa Point as seen from the Strait of Gibraltar . The geology of Europe is hugely varied and complex , and gives rise to the wide variety of landscapes found across the continent , from the Scottish Highlands to the rolling plains of Hungary . Europe 's most significant feature is the dichotomy between highland and mountainous Southern Europe and a vast , partially underwater , northern plain ranging from Ireland in the west to the Ural Mountains in the east . These two halves are separated by the mountain chains of the Pyrenees and Alps / Carpathians . The northern plains are delimited in the west by the Scandinavian Mountains and the mountainous parts of the British Isles . Major shallow water bodies submerging parts of the northern plains are the Celtic Sea , the North Sea , the Baltic Sea complex and Barents Sea . The northern plain contains the old geological continent of Baltica , and so may be regarded geologically as the `` main continent '' , while peripheral highlands and mountainous regions in the south and west constitute fragments from various other geological continents . Most of the older geology of western Europe existed as part of the ancient microcontinent Avalonia . Flora Having lived side - by - side with agricultural peoples for millennia , Europe 's animals and plants have been profoundly affected by the presence and activities of man . With the exception of Fennoscandia and northern Russia , few areas of untouched wilderness are currently found in Europe , except for various national parks . Land use map of Europe with arable farmland ( yellow ) , forest ( dark green ) , pasture ( light green ) , and tundra or bogs in the north ( dark yellow ) The main natural vegetation cover in Europe is mixed forest . The conditions for growth are very favourable . In the north , the Gulf Stream and North Atlantic Drift warm the continent . Southern Europe could be described as having a warm , but mild climate . There are frequent summer droughts in this region . Mountain ridges also affect the conditions . Some of these ( Alps , Pyrenees ) are oriented east - west and allow the wind to carry large masses of water from the ocean in the interior . Others are oriented south - north ( Scandinavian Mountains , Dinarides , Carpathians , Apennines ) and because the rain falls primarily on the side of mountains that is oriented towards the sea , forests grow well on this side , while on the other side , the conditions are much less favourable . Few corners of mainland Europe have not been grazed by livestock at some point in time , and the cutting down of the pre-agricultural forest habitat caused disruption to the original plant and animal ecosystems . Floristic regions of Europe and neighbouring areas , according to Wolfgang Frey and Rainer Lösch Probably 80 to 90 percent of Europe was once covered by forest . It stretched from the Mediterranean Sea to the Arctic Ocean . Though over half of Europe 's original forests disappeared through the centuries of deforestation , Europe still has over one quarter of its land area as forest , such as the broadleaf and mixed forests , taiga of Scandinavia and Russia , mixed rainforests of the Caucasus and the Cork oak forests in the western Mediterranean . During recent times , deforestation has been slowed and many trees have been planted . However , in many cases monoculture plantations of conifers have replaced the original mixed natural forest , because these grow quicker . The plantations now cover vast areas of land , but offer poorer habitats for many European forest dwelling species which require a mixture of tree species and diverse forest structure . The amount of natural forest in Western Europe is just 2 -- 3 % or less , in European Russia 5 -- 10 % . The country with the smallest percentage of forested area is Iceland ( 1 % ) , while the most forested country is Finland ( 77 % ) . In temperate Europe , mixed forest with both broadleaf and coniferous trees dominate . The most important species in central and western Europe are beech and oak . In the north , the taiga is a mixed spruce -- pine -- birch forest ; further north within Russia and extreme northern Scandinavia , the taiga gives way to tundra as the Arctic is approached . In the Mediterranean , many olive trees have been planted , which are very well adapted to its arid climate ; Mediterranean Cypress is also widely planted in southern Europe . The semi-arid Mediterranean region hosts much scrub forest . A narrow east - west tongue of Eurasian grassland ( the steppe ) extends eastwards from Ukraine and southern Russia and ends in Hungary and traverses into taiga to the north . Fauna Main article : Fauna of Europe Biogeographic regions of Europe and bordering regions Glaciation during the most recent ice age and the presence of man affected the distribution of European fauna . As for the animals , in many parts of Europe most large animals and top predator species have been hunted to extinction . The woolly mammoth was extinct before the end of the Neolithic period . Today wolves ( carnivores ) and bears ( omnivores ) are endangered . Once they were found in most parts of Europe . However , deforestation and hunting caused these animals to withdraw further and further . By the Middle Ages the bears ' habitats were limited to more or less inaccessible mountains with sufficient forest cover . Today , the brown bear lives primarily in the Balkan peninsula , Scandinavia , and Russia ; a small number also persist in other countries across Europe ( Austria , Pyrenees etc . ) , but in these areas brown bear populations are fragmented and marginalised because of the destruction of their habitat . In addition , polar bears may be found on Svalbard , a Norwegian archipelago far north of Scandinavia . The wolf , the second largest predator in Europe after the brown bear , can be found primarily in Central and Eastern Europe and in the Balkans , with a handful of packs in pockets of Western Europe ( Scandinavia , Spain , etc . ) . Once roaming the great temperate forests of Eurasia , European bison now live in nature preserves in Białowieża Forest , on the border between Poland and Belarus . European wild cat , foxes ( especially the red fox ) , jackal and different species of martens , hedgehogs , different species of reptiles ( like snakes such as vipers and grass snakes ) and amphibians , different birds ( owls , hawks and other birds of prey ) . Important European herbivores are snails , larvae , fish , different birds , and mammals , like rodents , deer and roe deer , boars , and living in the mountains , marmots , steinbocks , chamois among others . A number of insects , such as the small tortoiseshell butterfly , add to the biodiversity . The extinction of the dwarf hippos and dwarf elephants has been linked to the earliest arrival of humans on the islands of the Mediterranean . Sea creatures are also an important part of European flora and fauna . The sea flora is mainly phytoplankton . Important animals that live in European seas are zooplankton , molluscs , echinoderms , different crustaceans , squids and octopuses , fish , dolphins , and whales . Biodiversity is protected in Europe through the Council of Europe 's Bern Convention , which has also been signed by the European Community as well as non-European states . Politics Main article : Politics of Europe See also : List of sovereign states and dependent territories in Europe , International organizations in Europe , Regions of Europe , and European integration A clickable Euler diagram showing the relationships between various multinational European organisations and agreements . The political map of Europe is substantially derived from the re-organisation of Europe following the Napoleonic Wars in 1815 . The prevalent form of government in Europe is parliamentary democracy , in most cases in the form of Republic ; in 1815 , the prevalent form of government was still the Monarchy . Europe 's remaining eleven monarchies are constitutional . European integration is the process of political , legal , economic ( and in some cases social and cultural ) integration of European states as it has been pursued by the powers sponsoring the Council of Europe since the end of World War II The European Union has been the focus of economic integration on the continent since its foundation in 1993 . More recently , the Eurasian Economic Union has been established as a counterpart comprising former Soviet states . 28 European states are members of the politico - economic European Union , 26 of the border - free Schengen Area and 19 of the monetary union Eurozone . Among the smaller European organizations are the Nordic Council , the Benelux , the Baltic Assembly and the Visegrád Group .

In 2009 Europe remained the wealthiest region . Its $37.1 trillion in assets under management represented one - third of the world 's wealth . It was one of several regions where wealth surpassed its precrisis year - end peak . As with other continents , Europe has a large variation of wealth among its countries . The richer states tend to be in the West ; some of the Central and Eastern European economies are still emerging from the collapse of the Soviet Union and the breakup of Yugoslavia . The European Union , a political entity composed of 28 European states , comprises the largest single economic area in the world . 18 EU countries share the euro as a common currency . Five European countries rank in the top ten of the world 's largest national economies in GDP ( PPP ) . This includes ( ranks according to the CIA ) : Germany ( 5 ) , the UK ( 6 ) , Russia ( 7 ) , France ( 8 ) , and Italy ( 10 ) . There is huge disparity between many European countries in terms of their income . The richest in terms of GDP per capita is Monaco with its US $172,676 per capita ( 2009 ) and the poorest is Moldova with its GDP per capita of US $1,631 ( 2010 ) . Monaco is the richest country in terms of GDP per capita in the world according to the World Bank report .

From Britain , it gradually spread throughout Europe . The Industrial Revolution started in Europe , specifically the United Kingdom in the late 18th century , and the 19th century saw Western Europe industrialise . Economies were disrupted by World War I but by the beginning of World War II they had recovered and were having to compete with the growing economic strength of the United States . World War II , again , damaged much of Europe 's industries . Cold War ( 1945 -- 1991 ) Fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 . After World War II the economy of the UK was in a state of ruin , and continued to suffer relative economic decline in the following decades . Italy was also in a poor economic condition but regained a high level of growth by the 1950s . West Germany recovered quickly and had doubled production from pre-war levels by the 1950s . France also staged a remarkable comeback enjoying rapid growth and modernisation ; later on Spain , under the leadership of Franco , also recovered , and the nation recorded huge unprecedented economic growth beginning in the 1960s in what is called the Spanish miracle . The majority of Central and Eastern European states came under the control of the Soviet Union and thus were members of the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance ( COMECON ) . The states which retained a free - market system were given a large amount of aid by the United States under the Marshall Plan . The western states moved to link their economies together , providing the basis for the EU and increasing cross border trade . This helped them to enjoy rapidly improving economies , while those states in COMECON were struggling in a large part due to the cost of the Cold War . Until 1990 , the European Community was expanded from 6 founding members to 12 . The emphasis placed on resurrecting the West German economy led to it overtaking the UK as Europe 's largest economy . Reunification ( 1991 -- present ) Eurozone ( blue colour ) With the fall of communism in Central and Eastern Europe in 1991 , the post-socialist states began free market reforms : Poland , Hungary , and Slovenia adopted them reasonably quickly , while Ukraine and Russia are still in the process of doing so . After East and West Germany were reunited in 1990 , the economy of West Germany struggled as it had to support and largely rebuild the infrastructure of East Germany . By the millennium change , the EU dominated the economy of Europe comprising the five largest European economies of the time namely Germany , the United Kingdom , France , Italy , and Spain . In 1999 , 12 of the 15 members of the EU joined the Eurozone replacing their former national currencies by the common euro . The three who chose to remain outside the Eurozone were : the United Kingdom , Denmark , and Sweden . The European Union is now the largest economy in the world . Figures released by Eurostat in 2009 confirmed that the Eurozone had gone into recession in 2008 . It impacted much of the region . In 2010 , fears of a sovereign debt crisis developed concerning some countries in Europe , especially Greece , Ireland , Spain , and Portugal . As a result , measures were taken , especially for Greece , by the leading countries of the Eurozone . The EU - 27 unemployment rate was 10.3 % in 2012 . For those aged 15 -- 24 it was 22.4 % . Demographics Main article : Demographics of Europe See also : List of European countries by population and Ageing of Europe Population growth in and around Europe in 2010 In 2016 , the population of Europe was estimated to be 741 million according to the 2017 revision of the World Population Prospects , which is slightly more than one - ninth of the world 's population . A century ago , Europe had nearly a quarter of the world 's population . The population of Europe has grown in the past century , but in other areas of the world ( in particular Africa and Asia ) the population has grown far more quickly . Among the continents , Europe has a relatively high population density , second only to Asia . The most densely populated country in Europe ( and in the world ) is the microstate of Monaco . Ethnic groups Main article : Ethnic groups in Europe Further information : Genetic history of Europe Pan and Pfeil ( 2004 ) count 87 distinct `` peoples of Europe '' , of which 33 form the majority population in at least one sovereign state , while the remaining 54 constitute ethnic minorities . According to UN population projection , Europe 's population may fall to about 7 % of world population by 2050 , or 653 million people ( medium variant , 556 to 777 million in low and high variants , respectively ) . Within this context , significant disparities exist between regions in relation to fertility rates . The average number of children per female of child bearing age is 1.52 . According to some sources , this rate is higher among Muslims in Europe . The UN predicts a steady population decline in Central and Eastern Europe as a result of emigration and low birth rates . Galician bagpipers or gaiteiros in Spain Migration Main articles : Immigration to Europe and European diaspora Europe is home to the highest number of migrants of all global regions at 70.6 million people , the IOM 's report said . In 2005 , the EU had an overall net gain from immigration of 1.8 million people . This accounted for almost 85 % of Europe 's total population growth . The European Union plans to open the job centres for legal migrant workers from Africa . In 2008 , 696,000 persons were given citizenship of an EU27 member state , a decrease from 707,000 the previous year . Emigration from Europe began with Spanish and Portuguese settlers in the 16th century , and French and English settlers in the 17th century . But numbers remained relatively small until waves of mass emigration in the 19th century , when millions of poor families left Europe . Today , large populations of European descent are found on every continent . European ancestry predominates in North America , and to a lesser degree in South America ( particularly in Uruguay , Argentina , Chile and Brazil , while most of the other Latin American countries also have a considerable population of European origins ) . Australia and New Zealand have large European derived populations . Africa has no countries with European - derived majorities ( or with the exception of Cape Verde and probably São Tomé and Príncipe , depending on context ) , but there are significant minorities , such as the White South Africans . In Asia , European - derived populations predominate in Northern Asia ( specifically Russians ) , some parts of Northern Kazakhstan and Israel . Languages Main article : Languages of Europe Overview map of the distribution of major European languages European languages mostly fall within three Indo - European language groups : the Romance languages , derived from the Latin of the Roman Empire ; the Germanic languages , whose ancestor language came from southern Scandinavia ; and the Slavic languages . Language Speakers Principal European country / countries Russian 100,000,000 + Russia Belarus German 90,000,000 + Germany Austria Switzerland Belgium Luxembourg Liechtenstein French 70,000,000 + France Switzerland Belgium Luxembourg English 68,000,000 + United Kingdom Ireland Italian 60,000,000 + Italy Spanish 46,000,000 + Spain Ukrainian 45,000,000 + Ukraine Polish 39,000,000 + Poland Slavic languages are most spoken by the number of native speakers in Europe , they are spoken in Central , Eastern , and Southeastern Europe . Romance languages are spoken primarily in south - western Europe as well as in Romania and Moldova , in Eastern Europe . Germanic languages are spoken in Northern Europe , the British Isles and some parts of Central Europe . Many other languages outside the three main groups exist in Europe . Other Indo - European languages include the Baltic group ( that is , Latvian and Lithuanian ) , the Celtic group ( that is , Irish , Scottish Gaelic , Manx , Welsh , Cornish , and Breton ) , Greek , Armenian , and Albanian . In addition , a distinct non-Indo - European family of Uralic languages ( Estonian , Finnish , and Hungarian ) is spoken mainly in Estonia , Finland , and Hungary , while Kartvelian languages ( Georgian , Mingrelian , and Svan ) , are spoken primarily in Georgia , and two other language families reside in the North Caucasus ( termed Northeast Caucasian , most notably including Chechen , Avar and Lezgin and Northwest Caucasian , notably including Adyghe ) . Maltese is the only Semitic language that is official within the EU , while Basque is the only European language isolate . Turkic languages include Azerbaijani and Turkish , in addition to the languages of minority nations in Russia . Multilingualism and the protection of regional and minority languages are recognised political goals in Europe today . The Council of Europe Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities and the Council of Europe 's European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages set up a legal framework for language rights in Europe . Culture Dance at Le Moulin de la Galette , 1876 , by Pierre - Auguste Renoir Main article : Culture of Europe Further information : European folklore and European art `` Europe '' as a cultural concept is substantially derived from the shared heritage of the Roman Empire and its culture . The boundaries of Europe were historically understood as those of Christendom ( or more specifically Latin Christendom ) , as established or defended throughout the medieval and early modern history of Europe , especially against Islam , as in the Reconquista and the Ottoman wars in Europe . This shared cultural heritage is combined by overlapping indigenous national cultures and folklores , roughly divided into Slavic , Latin ( Romance ) and Germanic , but with several components not part of either of these group ( notably Greek and Celtic ) . Cultural contact and mixtures characterise much of European regional cultures ; Kaplan ( 2014 ) describes Europe as `` embracing maximum cultural diversity at minimal geographical distances '' . Religion Percentage of popular belief in God per European country according to the Eurobarometer ( 2005 ) . Main article : Religion in Europe Historically , religion in Europe has been a major influence on European art , culture , philosophy and law . The largest religion in Europe is Christianity , with 76.2 % of Europeans considering themselves Christians , including Catholic , Eastern Orthodox and various Protestant denominations . Among Protestants , the most popular are historically state - supported European denominations such as Lutheranism , Anglicanism and the Reformed faith . Other Protestant denominations such as historically significant ones like Anabaptists were never supported by any state and thus are not so widespread , as well as these newly arriving from the United States such as Pentecostalism , Adventism , Methodism , Baptists and various Evangelical Protestants ; although Methodism and Baptists both have European origins . The notion of `` Europe '' and the `` Western World '' has been intimately connected with the concept of `` Christianity and Christendom '' ; many even attribute Christianity for being the link that created a unified European identity . St. Peter 's Basilica in Vatican City , the largest church in Europe Christianity , including the Roman Catholic Church , has played a prominent role in the shaping of Western civilization since at least the 4th century , and for at least a millennium and a half , Europe has been nearly equivalent to Christian culture , even though the religion was inherited from the Middle East . Christian culture was the predominant force in western civilization , guiding the course of philosophy , art , and science . The second most popular religion is Islam ( 6 % ) concentrated mainly in the Balkans and eastern Europe ( Bosnia and Herzegovina , Albania , Kosovo , Kazakhstan , North Cyprus , Turkey , Azerbaijan , North Caucasus , and the Volga - Ural region ) . Other religions , including Judaism , Hinduism , and Buddhism are minority religions ( though Tibetan Buddhism is the majority religion of Russia 's Republic of Kalmykia ) . The 20th century saw the revival of Neopaganism through movements such as Wicca and Druidry . Europe has become a relatively secular continent , with an increasing number and proportion of irreligious , atheist and agnostic people , who make up about 18.2 % of Europe 's population , actually the largest secular population in the Western world . There are a particularly high number of self - described non-religious people in the Czech Republic , Estonia , Sweden , former East Germany , and France .

The capital city of Guam is Hagåtña and the most populous city is Dededo . The inhabitants of Guam are called Guamanians , and they are American citizens by birth . Indigenous Guamanians are the Chamorros , who are related to other Austronesian natives to the west in the Philippines and Taiwan . In 2016 , 162,742 people resided on Guam . Guam has an area of 210 square miles ( 540 km ) and a population density of 775 per square mile ( 299 / km ) . In Oceania , it is the largest and southernmost of the Mariana Islands and the largest island in Micronesia . Among its municipalities , Mongmong - Toto - Maite has the highest population density at 3,691 per square mile ( 1,425 / km ) , whereas Inarajan and Umatac have the lowest density at 119 per square mile ( 46 / km ) . The highest point is Mount Lamlam at 1,332 feet ( 406 m ) above sea level . Since the 1960s , the economy has been supported by two industries : tourism and the United States Armed Forces . The indigenous Chamorros settled the island approximately 4,000 years ago . Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan , while in the service of Spain , was the first European to visit the island on March 6 , 1521 . Guam was colonized by Spain in 1668 with settlers , including Diego Luis de San Vitores , a Catholic Jesuit missionary . Between the 16th century and the 18th century , Guam was an important stopover for the Spanish Manila Galleons . During the Spanish -- American War , the United States captured Guam on June 21 , 1898 . Under the Treaty of Paris , Spain ceded Guam to the United States on December 10 , 1898 . Guam is among the seventeen non-self - governing territories listed by the United Nations . Before World War II , there were five American jurisdictions in the Pacific Ocean : Guam and Wake Island in Micronesia , American Samoa and Hawaii in Polynesia , and the Philippines in the Malay Archipelago of Southeast Asia . On December 7 , 1941 , hours after the attack on Pearl Harbor , Guam was captured by the Japanese , who occupied the island for two and a half years . During the occupation , Guamanians were subjected to beheadings , forced labor , rape , and torture . American forces recaptured the island on July 21 , 1944 ; Liberation Day commemorates the victory . An unofficial but frequently used territorial motto is `` Where America 's Day Begins '' , which refers to the island 's close proximity to the international date line .

The original inhabitants of Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands were the Chamorro people , who are believed to be descendants of Austronesian people originating from Southeast Asia as early as 2000 BC . The ancient Chamorro society had four classes : chamorri ( chiefs ) , matua ( upper class ) , achaot ( middle class ) , and mana'chang ( lower class ) . The matua were located in the coastal villages , which meant they had the best access to fishing grounds , whereas the mana'chang were located in the interior of the island . Matua and mana'chang rarely communicated with each other , and matua often used achaot as intermediaries . There were also `` makåhna '' ( similar to shamans ) , skilled in healing and medicine . Belief in spirits of ancient Chamorros called `` Taotao mo'na '' still persists as a remnant of pre-European culture . Their society was organized along matrilineal clans . Latte stones are stone pillars that are found only in the Mariana Islands ; they are a recent development in Pre-Contact Chamorro society . The latte - stone was used as a foundation on which thatched huts were built . Latte stones consist of a base shaped from limestone called the haligi and with a capstone , or tåsa , made either from a large brain coral or limestone , placed on top . A possible source for these stones , the Rota Latte Stone Quarry , was discovered in 1925 on Rota . Magellan 's travel to Guam ( edit ) The first European to travel to Guam was Portuguese navigator Ferdinand Magellan , sailing for the King of Spain , when he sighted the island on March 6 , 1521 , during his fleet 's circumnavigation of the globe . When Magellan arrived on Guam , he was greeted by hundreds of small outrigger canoes that appeared to be flying over the water , due to their considerable speed . These outrigger canoes were called Proas , and resulted in Magellan naming Guam Islas de las Velas Latinas ( `` Islands of the Lateen sails '' ) . Antonio Pigafetta ( one of Magellan 's original 18 ) said that the name was `` Island of Sails '' , but he also writes that the inhabitants `` entered the ships and stole whatever they could lay their hands on '' , including `` the small boat that was fastened to the poop of the flagship . '' `` Those people are poor , but ingenious and very thievish , on account of which we called those three islands Islas de los Ladrones ( '' Islands of thieves `` ) . '' Spanish colonization and the Manila galleons ( edit ) Despite Magellan 's visit , Guam was not officially claimed by Spain until January 26 , 1565 , by General Miguel López de Legazpi . From 1565 to 1815 , Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands , the only Spanish outposts in the Pacific Ocean east of the Philippines , were an important resting stop for the Manila galleons , a fleet that covered the Pacific trade route between Acapulco and Manila . To protect these Pacific fleets , Spain built several defensive structures that still stand today , such as Fort Nuestra Señora de la Soledad in Umatac . Guam is the biggest single segment of Micronesia , the largest islands between the island of Kyushu ( Japan ) , New Guinea , the Philippines , and the Hawaiian Islands . Spanish colonization commenced on June 15 , 1668 , with the arrival of Diego Luis de San Vitores and Pedro Calungsod , who established the first Catholic church . The islands were part of the Spanish East Indies governed from the Philippines , which were in turn part of the Viceroyalty of New Spain based in Mexico City . Other reminders of colonial times include the old Governor 's Palace in Plaza de España and the Spanish Bridge , both in Hagatña . Guam 's Cathedral Dulce Nombre de Maria was formally opened on February 2 , 1669 , as was the Royal College of San Juan de Letran . Guam , along with the rest of the Mariana and Caroline Islands , were treated as part of Spain 's colony in the Philippines . While the island 's Chamorro culture has indigenous roots , the cultures of both Guam and the Northern Marianas have many similarities with Spanish culture due to three centuries of Spanish rule . Internal conflicts ( edit ) Intermittent warfare lasting from July 23 , 1670 , until July 1695 , plus the typhoons of 1671 and 1693 , and in particular the smallpox epidemic of 1688 , reduced the Chamorro population from 50,000 to 10,000 , finally to less than 5,000 . Precipitated by the death of Quipuha , and the murder of Father San Vitores and Pedro Calungsod by local rebel chief Matapang , tensions led to a number of conflicts . Captain Juan de Santiago started a campaign to conquer the island , which was continued by the successive commanders of the Spanish forces . After his arrival in 1674 , Captain Damian de Esplana ordered the arrest of rebels who attacked the population of certain towns . Hostilities eventually led to the destruction of villages such as Chochogo , Pepura , Tumon , Sidia - Aty , Sagua , Nagan and Ninca . Starting in June 1676 , the first Spanish Governor of Guam , Capt . Francisco de Irrisarri y Vinar , controlled internal affairs more strictly than his predecessors in order to curb tensions . He also ordered the construction of schools , roads and other infrastructure . Later , Capt . Jose de Quiroga arrived in 1680 and continued some of the development projects started by his predecessors . He also continued the search for the rebels who had assassinated Father San Vitores , resulting in campaigns against the rebels which were hiding out in some islands , eventually leading to the death of Matapang , Hurao and Aguarin . Quiroga brought some natives from the northern islands to Guam , ordering the population to live in a few large villages . These included Jinapsan , Umatac , Pago , Agat and Inarajan , where he built a number of churches . By July 1695 , Quiroga had completed the conquest of Guam , Rota , Tinian and Aguigan . Expulsion of the Jesuits ( edit ) On February 26 , 1767 , Charles III of Spain issued a decree confiscating the property of the Jesuits and banishing them from Spain and her possessions . As a consequence , the Jesuit fathers on Guam departed on November 2 , 1769 , on the schooner Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe , abandoning their churches , rectories and ranches . The arrival of Governor Don Mariano Tobias , on September 15 , 1771 , brought agricultural reforms , including making land available to the islanders for cultivation , encouraged the development of cattle raising , imported deer and water buffalo from Manila , donkeys and mules from Acapulco , established cotton mills and salt pans , free public schools , and the first Guam militia . Later , he was transferred to Manila in June 1774 . Post-napoleonic era ( edit ) Following the Napoleonic Wars , many Spanish colonies in the Western Hemisphere had become independent , shifting the economic dependence of Guam from Mexico to the Philippines . Don Francisco Ramon de Villalobos , who became governor in 1831 , improved economic conditions including the promotion of rice cultivation and the establishment of a leper hospital . Otto von Kotzebue visited the island in November 1817 , and Louis de Freycinet in March 1819 . Jules Dumont d'Urville made two visits , the first in May 1828 . The island became a rest stop for whalers starting in 1823 . A devastating typhoon struck the island on August 10 , 1848 , followed by a severe earthquake on January 25 , 1849 , which resulted in many refugees from the Caroline Islands , victims of the resultant tsunami . After a smallpox epidemic killed 3,644 Guamanians in 1856 , Carolinians and Japanese were permitted to settle in the Marianas . Guam received nineteen Filipino prisoners after their failed 1872 Cavite mutiny . Spanish -- American War and World War II ( edit ) U.S. Marines laying machine gun fire on a Japanese sniper nest during the liberation battle on Guam , ( July 28 , 1944 ) After almost four centuries as part of the Kingdom of Spain , the United States occupied the island following Spain 's defeat in the 1898 Spanish -- American War , as part of the Treaty of Paris of 1898 . Guam was transferred to the United States Navy control on December 23 , 1898 , by Executive Order 108 - A from 25th President William McKinley . Guam came to serve as a station for American merchant and warships traveling to and from the Philippines ( another American acquisition from Spain ) while the Northern Mariana Islands were sold by Spain to Germany for part of its rapidly expanding German Empire , then following the German defeat in World War I ( 1914 - 1918 ) became a League of Nations Mandate in 1919 with the nearby Empire of Japan as the mandatory ( `` trustee '' ) as a member nation of the victorious Allies in the `` Great War '' . A U.S. Navy yard was established at Piti in 1899 , and a United States Marine Corps barracks at Sumay in 1901 . Following the Philippine -- American War ( also known as the Philippine Insurrection , 1899 - 1902 ) , rebel nationalist leaders Emilio Aguinaldo and Apolinario Mabini were exiled on Guam in 1901 after their capture . A marine seaplane unit was stationed in Guam from 1921 to 1930 , the first in the Pacific . Pan American World Airways established a seaplane base on the island for its trans - Pacific San Francisco - Manila - Hong Kong route , and the Commercial Pacific Cable Company had earlier built a telegraph / telephone station in 1903 for its trans - oceanic communication line . During World War II ( 1939 - 1945 ) , Guam was attacked and invaded by Japan on Monday , December 8 , 1941 , shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor 's American Pacific fleet and naval / air bases in Hawaii , hours before . In addition , Japan made major military moves into Southeast Asia and the East Indies islands of the South Pacific Ocean against the British and Dutch colonies , opening a new wider Pacific phase in the Second World War . The Japanese renamed Guam Ōmiya - jima ( ja. : 大 宮島 ) or Great Shrine Island . Battle of Guam , July 1944 . The Northern Mariana Islands had become a League of Nations mandate assigned to Japan in 1919 , pursuant to the Treaty of Versailles of 1919 . Chamorros indigenous island people from the Northern Marianas were brought to Guam to serve as interpreters and in other capacities for the occupying Japanese force . The Guamanian Chamorros were treated as an occupied enemy by the Japanese military . After the war , this would cause resentment between the Guamanian Chamorros and the Chamorros of the Northern Marianas . Guam 's Chamorros believed their northern brethren should have been compassionate towards them , whereas having been administered by Japan for over 30 years , the Northern Mariana Chamorros were loyal to the Japanese government . The Japanese occupation of Guam lasted for approximately thirty - one months . During this period , the indigenous people of Guam were subjected to forced labor , family separation , incarceration , execution , concentration camps and forced prostitution . Approximately one thousand people died during the occupation , according to later Congressional committee testimony in 2004 . Some historians estimate that war violence killed 10 % of Guam 's then 20,000 population . The United States returned and fought the Battle of Guam from July 21 to August 10 , 1944 , to recapture the island from Japanese military occupation . More than 18,000 Japanese were killed as only 485 surrendered . Sergeant Shoichi Yokoi , who surrendered in January 1972 , appears to have been the last confirmed Japanese holdout for 28 years in the forested back country on Guam . The United States also captured and occupied the nearby Northern Marianas Islands . North Field was established in 1944 , and was renamed for Brigadier General James Roy Andersen ( 1904 -- 1945 ) of the old U.S. Army Air Forces as Andersen Air Force Base . Post-war ( edit ) B - 52 at Andersen Air Force Base , during Operation Linebacker II in Vietnam War , 1972 After World War II , the Guam Organic Act of 1950 established Guam as an unincorporated organized territory of the United States , provided for the structure of the island 's civilian government , and granted the people U.S. citizenship . The Governor of Guam was federally appointed until 1968 , when the Guam Elective Governor Act provided for the office 's popular election . Since Guam is not a U.S. state , U.S. citizens residing on Guam are not allowed to vote for president and their congressional representative is a non-voting member . They do , however , get to vote for party delegates in presidential primaries . Vietnam War and later ( edit ) See also : Operation Arc Light and Operation Rolling Thunder Andersen Air Force Base played a major role in the Vietnam War . The host unit was later designated the 36th Wing ( 36 WG ) , assigned to the Pacific Air Forces ( PACAF ) Thirteenth Air Force ( 13AF ) . In September 2012 , 13 AF was inactivated and its functions merged into PACAF . The multinational Cope North military exercise is an annual event . On August 6 , 1997 , Guam was the site of the Korean Air Flight 801 aircraft accident . The Boeing 747 -- 300 jetliner was preparing to land when it crashed into a hill , killing 228 of the 254 people on board . Since 1974 , about 124 historic sites in Guam have been recognized under the U.S. National Register of Historic Places . Guam temporarily hosted 100,000 Vietnamese refugees in 1975 , and 6,600 Kurdish refugees in 1996 . In August 2017 , North Korea warned that it might launch mid-range ballistic missiles into waters within 18 to 24 miles ( 29 to 39 km ) of Guam , following an exchange of threats between the governments of North Korea and the United States . Geography ( edit ) Guam from satellite Aerial view of Apra Harbor Sunset on Guam Main article : Geography of Guam Guam lies between 13.2 ° N and 13.7 ° N and between 144.6 ° E and 145.0 ° E , and has an area of 212 square miles ( 549 km ) , making it the 32nd largest island of the United States . It is the southernmost and largest island in the Mariana island chain and is also the largest island in Micronesia . This island chain was created by the colliding Pacific and Philippine Sea tectonic plates . Guam is the closest land mass to the Mariana Trench , a deep subduction zone , that lies beside the island chain to the east . Challenger Deep , the deepest surveyed point in the Oceans , is southwest of Guam at 35,797 feet ( 10,911 meters ) deep . The highest point in Guam is Mount Lamlam at an elevation of 1,334 feet ( 407 meters ) . The island of Guam is 30 miles ( 50 km ) long and 4 to 12 miles ( 6 to 19 km ) wide , three - fourths the size of Singapore . The island experiences occasional earthquakes due to its location on the western edge of the Pacific Plate and near the Philippine Sea Plate . In recent years , earthquakes with epicenters near Guam have had magnitudes ranging from 5.0 to 8.7 . Unlike the Anatahan volcano in the Northern Mariana Islands , Guam is not volcanically active . However , due to its proximity to Anatahan , vog ( i.e. volcanic smog ) does occasionally affect Guam . A coral table reef surrounds most of Guam , and the limestone plateau provides the source for most of the island 's fresh water . Steep coastal cliffs dominate the north , while the southern end of the island is mountainous , with lower hills in between . Climate ( edit ) Guam experiences a tropical rainforest climate ( Köppen Af ) -- though its driest month of March almost averages dry enough to qualify as a tropical monsoon climate -- moderated by seasonal easterly trade winds . However , due to its proximity to the equator , high sea surface temperature and warm ocean current that transports moisture from the east , the weather is generally very warm and humid throughout the year with little seasonal temperature variation . Hence , Guam is known to have equable temperatures year round . The mean high temperature is 86 ° F or 30 ° C and mean low is 76 ° F ( 24.4 ° C ) . Temperatures rarely exceed 90 ° F ( 32.2 ° C ) or fall below 70 ° F ( 21.1 ° C ) . The relative humidity commonly exceeds 84 percent at night throughout the year , but the average monthly humidity hovers near 66 percent . The dry season runs from December to June . The remaining months ( July to November ) constitute the wet season with an average annual rainfall between 1981 and 2010 of around 98 inches or 2,490 millimeters . The months of January and February are considered the coolest months of the year with overnight low temperatures of 70 to 75 ° F ( 21.1 to 23.9 ° C ) and generally less oppressive humidity levels . The highest temperature ever recorded in Guam was 96 ° F ( 35.6 ° C ) on April 18 , 1971 , and April 1 , 1990 , and the lowest temperature ever recorded was 65 ° F ( 18.3 ° C ) on February 8 , 1973 . Guam is located in Typhoon Alley and it is common for the island to be threatened by tropical storms and possible typhoons during the wet season . The highest risk of typhoons is during August through October . They can , however , occur year - round . The most intense typhoon to pass over Guam recently was Super Typhoon Pongsona , with sustained winds of 144 miles per hour ( 232 km / h ) , gusts to 173 miles per hour ( 278 km / h ) , which slammed Guam on December 8 , 2002 , leaving massive destruction . The wettest month on record at Guam Airport has been August 1997 with 38.49 inches ( 977.6 mm ) and the driest February 2015 with 0.15 inches ( 3.8 mm ) . The wettest calendar year has been 1976 with 131.70 inches ( 3,345.2 mm ) and the driest 1998 with 57.88 inches ( 1,470.2 mm ) . The most rainfall in a single day occurred on 15 October 1953 when 15.48 inches or 393.2 millimeters fell . Since Super Typhoon Pamela in 1976 , wooden structures have been largely replaced by concrete structures . During the 1980s wooden utility poles began to be replaced by typhoon - resistant concrete and steel poles . After the local Government enforced stricter construction codes , many home and business owners built their structures out of reinforced concrete with installed typhoon shutters .

( July 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) See also : Music of Guam See also : Culture of Guam Post-European - contact Chamorro Guamanian culture is a combination of American , Spanish , Filipino , other Micronesian Islander and Mexican traditions . Few indigenous pre-Hispanic customs remained following Spanish contact . Hispanic influences are manifested in the local language , music , dance , sea navigation , cuisine , fishing , games ( such as batu , chonka , estuleks , and bayogu ) , songs and fashion . During Spanish colonial rule ( 1668 -- 1898 ) the majority of the population was converted to Roman Catholicism and religious festivities such as Easter and Christmas became widespread . Post-contact Chamorro cuisine is largely based on corn , and includes tortillas , tamales , atole and chilaquiles , which are a clear influence from Mesoamerica , principally Mexico , from Spanish trade with Asia . The modern Chamorro language has many historical parallels to modern Philippine languages in that it is an Austronesian language which has absorbed much Spanish vocabulary . It is a Malayo - Polynesian language , along with such languages as Tagalog , Indonesian , Hawaiian , and even Maori . Despite being spoken in the mid Pacific Ocean , which is geographically closer to speakers of the Polynesian Islands , Chamorro is actually an outlier of the Sunda -- Sulawesi languages subgroup . Chamorro is thus more closely related to , and a part of , the languages of the Malay Archipelago , rather than its neighbours in Polynesia . Among the languages of Malay Archipelago , Chamorro is most closely related to the languages in the south of the chain of islands , within Indonesia , rather than the languages of the north , in the Philippines , with which it shares linguistic Spanish colonial influence . Also like Filipinos , many Chamorros have Spanish surnames although few of the inhabitants are descended from the Spanish colonizers . Spanish names and surnames were adopted after their conversion to Roman Catholic Christianity in a phenomenon prompted by the imposition of the Catálogo alfabético de apellidos in Guam and other territories of the Spanish East Indies , most notably the Philippines . Due to foreign cultural influence from Spain , most aspects of the early indigenous culture have been lost , though there has been a resurgence in preserving any remaining pre-Hispanic culture in the last few decades . Some scholars have traveled throughout the Pacific Islands conducting research to study what the original Chamorro cultural practices such as dance , language , and canoe building may have been like . Puntan Dos Amantes ( `` Two Lovers Point '' ) , a National Natural Landmark , well known for its romantic associations Two aspects of indigenous pre-Hispanic culture that withstood time are chenchule ' and inafa'maolek . Chenchule ' is the intricate system of reciprocity at the heart of Chamorro society . It is rooted in the core value of inafa'maolek . Historian Lawrence Cunningham in 1992 wrote , `` In a Chamorro sense , the land and its produce belong to everyone . Inafa'maolek , or interdependence , is the key , or central value , in Chamorro culture ... Inafa'maolek depends on a spirit of cooperation and sharing . This is the armature , or core , that everything in Chamorro culture revolves around . It is a powerful concern for mutuality rather than individualism and private property rights . '' The core culture or Pengngan Chamorro is based on complex social protocol centered upon respect : from sniffing over the hands of the elders ( called mangnginge in Chamorro ) , the passing down of legends , chants , and courtship rituals , to a person asking for permission from spiritual ancestors before entering a jungle or ancient battle grounds . Other practices predating Spanish conquest include galaide ' canoe - making , making of the belembaotuyan ( a string musical instrument made from a gourd ) , fashioning of åcho ' atupat slings and slingstones , tool manufacture , Måtan Guma ' burial rituals , and preparation of herbal medicines by Suruhanu . Master craftsmen and women specialize in weavings , including plaited work ( niyok - and åkgak - leaf baskets , mats , bags , hats , and food containments ) , loom - woven material ( kalachucha - hibiscus and banana fiber skirts , belts and burial shrouds ) , and body ornamentation ( bead and shell necklaces , bracelets , earrings , belts and combs made from tortoise shells and Spondylus ) . The cosmopolitan and multicultural nature of modern Guam poses challenges for Chamorros struggling to preserve their culture and identity amidst forces of acculturation . The increasing numbers of Chamorros , especially Chamorro youth , relocating to the U.S. Mainland has further complicated both definition and preservation of Chamorro identity . While only a few masters exist to continue traditional art forms , the resurgence of interest among the Chamorros to preserve the language and culture has resulted in a growing number of young Chamorros who seek to continue the ancient ways of the Chamorro people . Sports ( edit ) Pacific Games ( edit ) Guam hosted the Pacific Games in 1975 and 1999 . At the 2007 Games , Guam finished 7th of 22 countries and 14th at the 2011 Games . Soccer ( edit ) The Guam national football team was founded in 1975 and joined FIFA in 1996 . Guam was once considered one of FIFA 's weakest teams , and experienced their first victory over a FIFA - registered side in 2009 , when they defeated Mongolia in the East Asian Cup . Guam entered the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification Group D. Guam hosted qualifying games on the island for the first time in 2015 . During the qualifying round , Guam clinched their first FIFA World Cup Qualifying win by defeating Turkmenistan . Since then , the team has experienced moderate success in the Qualifying Round with a record of 2 -- 1 -- 1 . The national team plays at the Guam National Football Stadium , which has a capacity of 1,000 . The men 's national football team are known as the `` matao '' team . Matao is the definition of highest level or `` noble '' class ; the matao team have done exceptionally well under the head coach Gary White . As of 2016 , the Matao is led by Darren Sawatzky , the current head coach . The top football division in Guam is the Guam Men 's Soccer League . Rovers FC and Guam Shipyard are the league 's most competitive and successful clubs , both have won nine championships in the past years . Basketball ( edit ) The Guam national basketball team is traditionally one of the top teams in the Oceania region behind Australia and New Zealand . As of 2015 , it is the reigning champion of the Pacific Games Basketball Tournament . Guam is home to various basketball organizations , including the GBA . Swimming ( edit ) In the 2012 Summer Olympics in London , Pilar Shimizu competed for Guam and placed 42nd in the breaststroke competition . Rugby union ( edit ) Guam is represented in rugby union by the Guam national rugby union team . The team has never qualified for a Rugby World Cup . Guam played their first match in 2005 , an 8 -- 8 draw with India . Guam 's biggest win was a 74 -- 0 defeat of Brunei in June 2008 . Mixed martial arts ( edit ) UFC fighter Jon Tuck , who boasts a professional record of 10 wins and 4 losses , three of those wins while with the UFC , fights out of Guam . Economy ( edit ) 2009 Guam quarter See also : Energy in Guam Guam 's economy depends primarily on tourism , Department of Defense installations and locally owned businesses . Despite paying no income or excise tax , it receives large transfer payments from the general revenues of the U.S. federal treasury . Under the provisions of a special law by Congress , it is Guam 's treasury rather than the U.S. treasury that receives the federal income taxes paid by local taxpayers ( including military and civilian federal employees assigned to Guam ) . Lying in the western Pacific , Guam is a popular destination for Japanese tourists . Its tourist hub , Tumon , features over 20 large hotels , a Duty Free Shoppers Galleria , Pleasure Island district , indoor aquarium , Sandcastle Las Vegas -- styled shows and other shopping and entertainment venues . It is a relatively short flight from Asia or Australia compared to Hawaii , with hotels and seven public golf courses accommodating over a million tourists per year . Although 75 % of the tourists are Japanese , Guam receives a sizable number of tourists from South Korea , the U.S. , the Philippines , and Taiwan . Significant sources of revenue include duty - free designer shopping outlets , and the American - style malls : Micronesia Mall , Guam Premier Outlets , the Agana Shopping Center , and the world 's largest Kmart . Terminal at Antonio B. Won Pat International Airport . The airport hosts a hub of United Airlines , Guam 's largest private - sector employer . The economy had been stable since 2000 due to increased tourism . It is expected to stabilize with the transfer of U.S. Marine Corps ' 3rd Marine Expeditionary Force , currently in Okinawa , Japan , ( approximately 8,000 Marines , along with their 10,000 dependents ) , to Guam between 2010 and 2015 . In 2003 , Guam had a 14 % unemployment rate , and the government suffered a $314 million shortfall . The Compacts of Free Association between the United States , the Federated States of Micronesia , the Republic of the Marshall Islands and the Republic of Palau accorded the former entities of the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands a political status of `` free association '' with the United States . The Compacts give citizens of these island nations generally no restrictions to reside in the United States ( also its territories ) , and many were attracted to Guam due to its proximity , environmental , and cultural familiarity . Over the years , it was claimed by some in Guam that the territory has had to bear the brunt of this agreement in the form of public assistance programs and public education for those from the regions involved , and the federal government should compensate the states and territories affected by this type of migration . Over the years , Congress had appropriated `` Compact Impact '' aids to Guam , the Northern Mariana Islands and Hawaii , and eventually this appropriation was written into each renewed Compact . Some , however , continue to claim the compensation is not enough or that the distribution of actual compensation received is significantly disproportionate . As of 2008 Guam 's largest single private sector employer , with about 1,400 jobs , was Continental Micronesia , a subsidiary of Continental Airlines ; it is now a part of United Airlines , a subsidiary of Chicago - based United Continental Holdings , Inc . As of 2008 the Continental Micronesia annual payroll in Guam was $90 million . Government and Politics ( edit ) See also : Politics of Guam , Voting in Guam , and Political party strength in Guam The War in the Pacific National Historical Park at Asan Guam is governed by a popularly elected governor and a unicameral 15 - member legislature , whose members are known as senators . Its judiciary is overseen by the Supreme Court of Guam . The District Court of Guam is the court of United States federal jurisdiction in the territory . Guam elects one delegate to the United States House of Representatives , currently Democrat Madeleine Z . Bordallo . The delegate does not have a vote on the final passage of legislation , but is accorded a vote in committee , and the privilege to speak to the House . U.S. citizens in Guam vote in a straw poll for their choice in the U.S. Presidential general election , but since Guam has no votes in the Electoral College , the poll has no real effect . However , in sending delegates to the Republican and Democratic national conventions , Guam does have influence in the national presidential race . These delegates are elected by local party conventions . Political status ( edit ) In the 1980s and early 1990s , there was a significant movement in favor of this U.S. territory becoming a commonwealth , which would give it a level of self - government similar to Puerto Rico and the Northern Mariana Islands . However , the federal government rejected the version of a commonwealth that the government of Guam proposed , because its clauses were incompatible with the Territorial Clause ( Art . IV , Sec. 3 , cl. 2 ) of the U.S. Constitution . Other movements advocate U.S. statehood for Guam , union with the state of Hawaii , or union with the Northern Mariana Islands as a single territory , or independence . In a 1982 plebiscite , voters indicated interest in seeking commonwealth status . The island has been considering another non-binding plebiscite on decolonization since 1998 . Governor Eddie Baza Calvo intended to include one during the island 's November 2016 elections but it was delayed again . Eddie Baza Calvo , Governor of Guam A Commission on Decolonization was established in 1997 to educate the people of Guam about the various political status options in its relationship with the U.S. : statehood , free association and independence . The group was dormant for some years . In 2013 , the Commission began seeking funding to start a public education campaign . There were few subsequent developments until late 2016 . In early December 2016 , the Commission scheduled a series of education sessions in various villages about the current status of Guam 's relationship with the U.S. and the self - determination options that might be considered . The Commission 's current Executive Director is Edward Alvarez and there are ten members . The group is also expected to release position papers on independence and statehood but the contents have not yet been completed . The United Nations is in favor of greater self - determination for Guam and other such territories . The UN 's Special Committee on Decolonization has agreed to endorse the Governor 's education plan . The commission 's May 2016 report states : `` With academics from the University of Guam , ( the Commission ) was working to create and approve educational materials . The Office of the Governor was collaborating closely with the Commission '' in developing educational materials for the public . The United States Department of the Interior had approved a $300,000 grant for decolonization education , Edward Alvarez told the United Nations Pacific Regional Seminar in May 2016 . `` We are hopeful that this might indicate a shift in ( United States ) policy to its Non-Self - Governing Territories such as Guam , where they will be more willing to engage in discussions about our future and offer true support to help push us towards true self - governances and self - determination . '' Villages ( edit ) Hagåtña as seen from Fort Santa Agueda Main article : Villages of Guam Guam is divided into nineteen municipalities called villages : Agana Heights Agat Asan ‐ Maina Barrigada Chalan ‐ Pago ‐ Ordot Dededo Hagåtña ( capital ) Inarajan Mangilao Merizo Mongmong ‐ Toto ‐ Maite Piti Santa Rita Sinajana Talofofo Tamuning Umatac Yigo Yona Military bases ( edit ) The aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan ( CVN 76 ) enters Apra Harbor for a scheduled port visit . Note : Naval Air Station Agana has been deactivated . The U.S. military maintains jurisdiction over its bases , which cover approximately 39,000 acres ( 16,000 ha ) , or 29 % of the island 's total land area : U.S. Naval Base Guam , U.S. Navy -- Sumay U.S. Coast Guard Sector Guam , -- Sumay Andersen Air Force Base , U.S. Air Force -- Yigo Apra Harbor -- Orote peninsula Ordnance Annex , U.S. Navy -- South Central Highlands ( formerly known as Naval Magazine ) Naval Computer and Telecommunications Station , U.S. Navy -- Barrigada and Finegayan Joint Force Headquarters - Guam , Guam National Guard -- Radio Barrigada and Fort Juan Muna In addition to on - shore military installations , Guam , along with the rest of the Mariana Islands , is being prepared to be the westernmost military training range for the U.S. Guam is currently viewed as a key military hub that will further allow U.S. military power to be projected via sea and sky . The U.S. military has proposed building a new aircraft carrier berth on Guam and moving 8,600 Marines , and 9,000 of their dependents , to Guam from Okinawa , Japan . Including the required construction workers , this buildup would increase Guam 's population by 45 % . In a February 2010 letter , the United States Environmental Protection Agency sharply criticized these plans because of a water shortfall , sewage problems and the impact on coral reefs . By 2012 , these plans had been cut to have only a maximum of 4,800 Marines stationed on the island , two thirds of whom would be there on a rotational basis without their dependents . With the proposed increased military presence stemming from the upcoming preparation efforts and relocation efforts of U.S. Marines from Okinawa , Japan to Guam slated to begin in 2010 and last for the next several years thereafter , the amount of total land that the military will control or tenant may grow to or surpass 40 % of the entire landmass of Guam . In January 2011 , the Ike Skelton National Defense Authorization Act for FY2011 indicated that recent significant events will delay the deadline for realigning U.S. Marine Corps service members and their families from Okinawa to Guam . The transfer may be as late as 2020 . In addition , the Defense Authorization Act cut approximately $320 million from the 2011 budget request . Villagers and the military community are interconnected in many ways . Many villagers serve in the military or are retired . Many active duty personnel and Defense Department civilians also live in the villages outside of the military installation areas . The military and village communities have `` adoption '' programs where Guam 's population and military personnel stationed on Guam perform community service projects . Transportation and communications ( edit ) Main articles : Communications in Guam and Transportation in Guam Guam Highway 8 route marker Most of the island has state - of - the - art mobile phone services and high - speed internet widely available through either cable or DSL . Guam was added to the North American Numbering Plan ( NANP ) in 1997 ( country code 671 became NANP area code 671 ) , removing the barrier of high - cost international long - distance calls to the U.S. mainland . Guam is also a major hub for submarine cables between the Western U.S. , Hawaii , Australia and Asia . Guam currently serves twelve submarine cables , with most continuing to China . Cover carried both directions on the first commercial flights between Guam and the United States , October 5 -- 24 , 1935 . In 1899 , the local postage stamps were overprinted `` Guam '' as was done for the other former Spanish colonies , but this was discontinued shortly thereafter and regular U.S. postage stamps have been used ever since . Because Guam is also part of the U.S. Postal System ( postal abbreviation : GU , ZIP code range : 96910 -- 96932 ) , mail to Guam from the U.S. mainland is considered domestic and no additional charges are required . Private shipping companies , such as FedEx , UPS , and DHL , however , have no obligation to do so , and do not regard Guam as domestic . The speed of mail traveling between Guam and the states varies depending on size and time of year . Light , first - class items generally take less than a week to or from the mainland , but larger first - class or Priority items can take a week or two . Fourth - class mail , such as magazines , are transported by sea after reaching Hawaii . Most residents use post office boxes or private mail boxes , although residential delivery is becoming increasingly available . Incoming mail not from the Americas should be addressed to `` Guam '' instead of `` USA '' to avoid being routed the long way through the U.S. mainland and possibly charged a higher rate ( especially from Asia ) . The Commercial Port of Guam is the island 's lifeline because most products must be shipped into Guam for consumers . It receives the weekly calls of the Hawaii - based shipping line Matson , Inc. whose container ships connect Guam with Honolulu , Hawaii , Los Angeles , California , Oakland , California and Seattle , Washington . The port is also the regional transhipment hub for over 500,000 customers throughout the Micronesian region . The port is the shipping and receiving point for containers designated for the island 's U.S. Department of Defense installations , Andersen Air Force Base and Commander , Naval Forces Marianas and eventually the Third Marine Expeditionary Force . Guam is served by the Antonio B. Won Pat International Airport , which is a hub for United Airlines . The island is outside the United States customs zone so Guam is responsible for establishing and operating its own customs and quarantine agency and jurisdiction . Therefore , the U.S. Customs and Border Protection only carries immigration ( but not customs ) functions . Since Guam is under federal immigration jurisdiction , passengers arriving directly from the United States skip immigration and proceed directly to Guam Customs and Quarantine . However , due to the Guam and CNMI visa waiver program for certain countries , an eligibility pre-clearance check is carried on Guam for flights to the States . For travel from the Northern Mariana Islands to Guam , a pre-flight passport and visa check is performed before boarding the flight to Guam . On flights from Guam to the Northern Mariana Islands , no immigration check is performed . Traveling between Guam and the States through a foreign point , however , does require a passport . Most residents travel within Guam using personally owned vehicles . The local government currently outsources the only public bus system ( Guam Regional Transit Authority ) , and some commercial companies operate buses between tourist - frequented locations . Ecology ( edit ) Brown tree snake ( edit ) Brown tree snake Believed to be a stowaway on a U.S. military transport near the end of World War II , the brown tree snake ( Boiga irregularis ) was accidentally introduced to Guam , which previously had no native species of snake . It nearly eliminated the native bird population . The problem was exacerbated because the snake has no natural predators on the island . The brown tree snake , known locally as the kulebla , is native to northern and eastern coasts of Australia , Papua New Guinea , and the Solomon Islands . It is slightly venomous , but relatively harmless to human beings ; it is nocturnal . Although some studies have suggested a high density of these serpents on Guam , residents rarely see them . The United States Department of Agriculture has trained detector dogs to keep the snakes out of the island 's cargo flow . The United States Geological Survey also has dogs that can detect snakes in forested environments around the region 's islands . Before the introduction of the brown tree snake , Guam was home to several endemic bird species . Among them were the Guam rail ( or ko'ko ' bird in Chamorro ) and the Guam flycatcher , both common throughout the island . Today the flycatcher is entirely extinct and the Guam rail is extinct in the wild but bred in captivity by the Division of Aquatic and Wildlife Resources . The devastation caused by the snake has been significant over the past several decades . As many as twelve bird species are believed to have been driven to extinction . According to many elders , ko'ko ' birds were common in Guam before World War II . Other bird species threatened by the brown tree snake include the Mariana crow , the Mariana swiftlet , and the Micronesian starling , though populations are present on other islands , including Rota . Guam is said to have many more insects and 40 times more spiders than neighboring islands , because their natural predators birds are severely diminished , and the forests are almost completely silent due to lack of birdsong . ( 1 ) ( 2 ) Forest on Guam swathed in spider webs . Coconut rhinoceros beetle ( edit ) Coconut rhinoceros beetle An infestation of the coconut rhinoceros beetle ( CRB ) , Oryctes rhinoceros , was detected on Guam on September 12 , 2007 . CRB is not known to occur in the United States except in American Samoa . Delimiting surveys performed September 13 -- 25 , 2007 , indicated that the infestation was limited to Tumon Bay and Faifai Beach , an area of approximately 900 acres ( 3.6 km ) . Guam Department of Agriculture ( GDA ) placed quarantine on all properties within the Tumon area on October 5 and later expanded the quarantine to about 2,500 acres ( 10 km ) on October 25 ; approximately 0.5 miles ( 800 m ) radius in all directions from all known locations of CRB infestation . CRB is native to Southern Asia and distributed throughout Asia and the Western Pacific including Sri Lanka , Upolu , Samoa , American Samoa , Palau , New Britain , West Irian , New Ireland , Pak Island and Manus Island ( New Guinea ) , Fiji , Cocos ( Keeling ) Islands , Mauritius , and Reunion . Other invasive animal species ( edit ) Adult female carabao and calf From the seventeenth through nineteenth centuries , the Spanish introduced pigs , dogs , chickens , the Philippine deer ( Rusa mariannus ) , black francolins , and carabao ( a subspecies of water buffalo ) , which have cultural significance . Herds of carabao obstruct military base operations and harm native ecosystems . After birth control and adoption efforts were ineffective , the U.S. military began culling the herds in 2002 leading to organized protests from island residents . Other introduced species include cane toads imported in 1937 , the giant African snail ( an agricultural pest introduced during World War II by Japanese occupation troops ) and more recently frog species which could threaten crops in addition to providing additional food for the brown tree snake population . Reports of loud chirping frogs native to Puerto Rico and known as coquí , that may have arrived from Hawaii , have led to fears that the noise could threaten Guam 's tourism . Guam has no native amphibian species , but now a total of eight amphibian species has been established in Guam . Litoria fallax ( native to the eastern coast of Australia ) has been present in Guam since 1968 , and Rhinella marina ( the cane toad ) was brought to the island in 1937 . The other 6 amphibian species , namely Hylarana guentheri ( native to mainland Asia ) , Microhyla pulchra ( native to mainland Asia ) , Polypedates braueri ( endemic to Taiwan ) , Eleutherodactylus planirostris ( native to the Caribbean ) , Fejervarya cancrivora ( the Guam variety being most closely related to F. cancrivora found in Taiwan ) , and Fejervarya limnocharis ( native to Southeast Asia ) , have been in Guam since 2003 . Many species were likely inadvertently introduced via shipping cargo , especially from Taiwan , mainland China , and Southeast Asia . Introduced feral pigs and deer , over-hunting , and habitat loss from human development are also major factors in the decline and loss of Guam 's native plants and animals . Threats to indigenous plants ( edit ) Invading animal species are not the only threat to Guam 's native flora . Tinangaja , a virus affecting coconut palms , was first observed on the island in 1917 when copra production was still a major part of Guam 's economy . Though coconut plantations no longer exist on the island , the dead and infected trees that have resulted from the epidemic are seen throughout the forests of Guam . During the past century , the dense forests of northern Guam have been largely replaced by thick tangan - tangan brush ( Leucaena leucocephala ) . Much of Guam 's foliage was lost during World War II . In 1947 , the U.S. military is thought to have planted tangan - tangan by seeding the island from the air to prevent erosion . Tangan - tangan was present on the island before 1905 . In southern Guam , non-native grass species dominate much of the landscape . Although the colorful and impressive flame tree ( Delonix regia ) is found throughout the Marianas , the tree on Guam has been largely decimated . Wildfires ( edit ) Guam 's grassland Wildfires plague the forested areas of Guam every dry season despite the island 's humid climate . Most fires are caused by humans with 80 % resulting from arson . Poachers often start fires to attract deer to the new growth . Invasive grass species that rely on fire as part of their natural life cycle grow in many regularly burned areas . Grasslands and `` barrens '' have replaced previously forested areas leading to greater soil erosion . During the rainy season , sediment is carried by the heavy rains into the Fena Lake Reservoir and Ugum River , leading to water quality problems for southern Guam . Eroded silt also destroys the marine life in reefs around the island . Soil stabilization efforts by volunteers and forestry workers ( planting trees ) have had little success in preserving natural habitats . Aquatic preserves ( edit ) Having previously experienced extensive dredging , Tumon Bay is now a marine wildlife preserve . Efforts have been made to protect Guam 's coral reef habitats from pollution , eroded silt and overfishing , problems that have led to decreased fish populations . ( Since Guam is a significant vacation spot for scuba divers , this is important . ) In recent years , the Department of Agriculture , Division of Aquatic and Wildlife Resources has established several new marine preserves where fish populations are monitored by biologists . Before adopting U.S. Environmental Protection Agency standards , portions of Tumon Bay were dredged by the hotel chains to provide a better experience for hotel guests . Tumon Bay has since been made into a preserve . A federal Guam National Wildlife Refuge in northern Guam protects the decimated sea turtle population in addition to a small colony of Mariana fruit bats . Harvest of sea turtle eggs was a common occurrence on Guam before World War II . The green sea turtle ( Chelonia mydas ) was harvested legally on Guam before August 1978 , when it was listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act . The hawksbill sea turtle ( Eretmochelys imbricata ) has been on the endangered list since 1970 . In an effort to ensure protection of sea turtles on Guam , routine sightings are counted during aerial surveys and nest sites are recorded and monitored for hatchlings . Whitespotted boxfish ( Ostracion meleagris ) Reef fish of Guam Education ( edit ) Colleges and universities ( edit ) The central campus at the University of Guam The University of Guam ( UOG ) and Guam Community College , both fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges , offer courses in higher education . UOG is a member of the exclusive group of only 76 land - grant institutions in the entire United States . Pacific Islands University is a small Christian liberal arts institution nationally accredited by the Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools . They offer courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels . Primary and secondary schools ( edit ) See also : List of schools in Guam The Guam Department of Education serves the entire island of Guam . In 2000 , 32,000 students attended Guam 's public schools . Guam Public Schools have struggled with problems such as high dropout rates and poor test scores . Guam 's educational system has always faced unique challenges as a small community located 6,000 miles ( 9,700 km ) from the U.S. mainland with a very diverse student body including many students who come from backgrounds without traditional American education . An economic downturn in Guam since the mid-1990s has compounded the problems in schools . Before September 1997 , the U.S. Department of Defense partnered with Guam Board of Education . In September 1997 , the DoDEA opened its own schools for children of military personnel . DoDEA schools , which also serve children of some federal civilian employees , had an attendance of 2,500 in 2000 . DoDEA Guam operates three elementary / middle schools and one high school . Public libraries ( edit ) Guam Public Library System Nieves M. Flores Memorial Library , Hagåtña Guam Public Library System operates the Nieves M. Flores Memorial Library in Hagåtña and five branch libraries . Health care ( edit ) The Government of Guam maintains the island 's main health care facility , Guam Memorial Hospital , in Tamuning . U.S. board certified doctors and dentists practice in all specialties . In addition , the U.S. Naval Hospital in Agana Heights serves active - duty members and dependents of the military community . There is one subscriber - based air ambulance located on the island , CareJet , which provides emergency patient transportation across Guam and surrounding islands . A private hospital , the Guam Regional Medical City opened its doors in early 2016 . Film - making ( edit ) Over the years , a number of films have been shot on Guam , including Shiro 's Head ( directed by the Muna brothers ) and the government - funded Max Havoc : Curse of the Dragon ( 2004 ) . Although set on Guam , No Man Is an Island ( 1962 ) was not shot there , but in the Republic of the Philippines .

Local government authorities are responsible for implementing policy for public education and state - funded schools at a local level . England also has a tradition of independent schools ( sometimes termed `` public schools '' ) and home schooling alongside state schools ; legally , parents may choose to educate their children by any suitable means . State - funded schools can be categorised as grammar schools , which are selective , or comprehensive schools , which are not . These can be further subdivided into free schools , other academies and state - run schools . More freedom is given to free schools , including most religious schools , and other academies in terms of curriculum , but all are subject to assessment and inspection by Ofsted . The state - funded education system is divided into stages based upon age : Early Years Foundation Stage ( ages 3 -- 5 ) ; primary education ( ages 5 to 11 ) , subdivided into Key Stage 1 ( KS1 ) Infants ( ages 5 to 7 ) and Key Stage 2 ( KS2 ) Juniors ( ages 7 to 11 ) ; secondary education ( ages 11 to 16 ) , subdivided into Key Stage 3 ( KS3 ; ages 11 to 14 ) and Key Stage 4 ( KS4 ; ages 14 to 16 ) ; Key Stage 5 is post-16 education ( ages 16 to 18 ) ; and tertiary education ( for ages 18 + ) . At age 16 the students typically take exams for the General Certificate of Secondary Education or other Level 1 / 2 qualifications . While education is compulsory until 18 , schooling is only compulsory to 16 , thus post-16 education can take a number of forms , and may be academic or vocational . This can involve continued schooling , known as `` sixth form '' or `` college '' , leading ( typically after two years of further study ) to A-level qualifications ( similar to a high school diploma in some other countries ) , or a number of alternative Level 3 qualifications such as BTEC , the International Baccalaureate or the Cambridge Pre-U . It can also include work - based apprenticeships or traineeships , or volunteering . Higher education often begins with a three - year bachelor 's degree . Postgraduate degrees include master 's degrees , either taught or by research , and doctoral level research degrees that usually take at least three years . Tuition fees for first degrees are up to £ 9,000 per academic year for English , Welsh and European Union students , although these are set to rise to £ 9,250 for students starting from 2017 . The Regulated Qualifications Framework ( RQF ) covers national school examinations and vocational education qualifications . It is referenced to the European Qualifications Framework , and thus to other qualifications frameworks across the European Union . The Framework for Higher Education Qualifications ( FHEQ ) , which is tied to the RQF , covers degrees and other qualifications from degree - awarding bodies . This is referenced to the Qualifications Framework of the European Higher Education Area developed under the Bologna process .

The Education Act 1902 allowed local authorities to create secondary schools . The Education Act 1918 abolished fees for elementary schools . Legally compulsory education Full - time education is compulsory for all children aged 5 to 18 , either at school or otherwise , with a child beginning primary education during the school year they turn 5 . Children between the ages of 3 and 5 are entitled to 600 hours per year of optional , state - funded , pre-school education . This can be provided in `` playgroups '' , nurseries , community childcare centres or nursery classes in schools . The age at which a student may choose to stop education is commonly known as the `` leaving age '' for compulsory education . This age was raised to 18 by the Education and Skills Act 2008 ; the change took effect in 2013 for 16 - year - olds and 2015 for 17 - year - olds . From this time , the school leaving age ( which remains 16 ) and the education leaving age ( which is now 18 ) have been separated . State - provided schooling and sixth - form education are paid for by taxes . All children in England must currently therefore receive an effective education ( at school or otherwise ) from the first `` prescribed day '' , which falls on or after their fifth birthday until their 18th birthday , and must remain in school until the last Friday in June of the school year in which they turn 16 . The education leaving age was raised in 2013 to the year in which they turn 17 and in 2015 to their 18th birthday for those born on or after 1 September 1997 . The prescribed days are 31 August , 31 December and 31 March . The school year begins on 1 September ( or 1 August if a term starts in August ) . The Compulsory stages of education are broken into a Foundation Stage ( actually covering the last part of optional and first part of compulsory education ) , 4 Key Stages , and post-16 education ( sometimes unofficially termed Key Stage Five , which takes a variety of forms including 6th Form ( covering the last 2 years of Secondary Education in schools ) . Schools and stages Below is a table summarizing the most common names of the various schools and stages . Grammar schools are normally state - funded but selective schools , admitting children from 11 years old onward , but there are exceptions such as Manchester Grammar School .

Allerton High School , a typical former secondary modern school in Leeds , West Yorkshire . Since 1998 , there have been six main types of maintained ( state - funded ) school in England : Academy schools , established by the 1997 - 2010 Labour Government to replace poorly - performing community schools in areas of high social and economic deprivation . Their start - up costs are typically funded by private means , such as entrepreneurs or NGOs , with running costs met by Central Government and , like Foundation schools , are administratively free from direct local authority control . The 2010 Conservative - Liberal Democrat coalition government expanded the role of Academies in the Academy Programme , in which a wide number of schools in non-deprived areas were also encouraged to become Academies , thereby essentially replacing the role of Foundation schools established by the previous Labour government . They are monitored directly by the Department for Education . Community schools ( formerly county schools ) , in which the local authority employs the schools ' staff , owns the schools ' lands and buildings , and has primary responsibility for admissions . Free schools , introduced by the Conservative - Liberal Democrat coalition following the 2010 general election , are newly established schools in England set up by parents , teachers , charities or businesses , where there is a perceived local need for more schools . They are funded by taxpayers , are academically non-selective and free to attend , and like Foundation schools and Academies , are not controlled by a local authority . They are ultimately accountable to the Secretary of State for Education . Free schools are an extension of the existing Academy Programme . The first 24 free schools opened in Autumn 2011 . Foundation schools , in which the governing body employs the staff and has primary responsibility for admissions . School land and buildings are owned by the governing body or by a charitable foundation . The Foundation appoints a minority of governors . Many of these schools were formerly grant maintained schools . In 2005 the Labour government proposed allowing all schools to become Foundation schools if they wished . Voluntary Aided schools , linked to a variety of organisations . They can be faith schools ( often the Church of England or the Roman Catholic Church ) , or non-denominational schools , such as those linked to London Livery Companies . The charitable foundation contributes towards the capital costs of the school ( typically 10 % ) , and appoints a majority of the school governors . The governing body employs the staff and has primary responsibility for admissions . Voluntary Controlled schools , which are almost always church schools , with the lands and buildings often owned by a charitable foundation . However , the local authority employs the schools ' staff and has primary responsibility for admissions . In addition , 3 of the 15 City Technology Colleges established in the 1980s still remain , the rest having converted to academies . These are state - funded all - ability secondary schools which charge no fees but which are independent of local authority control . There are also a small number of state - funded boarding schools . English state - funded primary schools are almost all local schools with a small catchment area . More than half are owned by the Local Authority , though many are ( nominally ) voluntary controlled and some are voluntary aided . Some schools just include infants ( aged 4 to 7 ) and some just juniors ( aged 7 to 11 ) . Some are linked , with automatic progression from the infant school to the junior school , and some are not . A few areas still have first schools for ages around 4 to 8 and middle schools for ages 8 or 9 to 12 or 13 . An example of a Grammar School - in Sutton , London English secondary schools are mostly comprehensive , although the intake of comprehensive schools can vary widely , especially in urban areas with several local schools . Nearly 90 % of state - funded secondary schools are specialist schools , receiving extra funding to develop one or more subjects in which the school specialises , which can select up to 10 % of their intake for aptitude in the specialism ( though relatively few of them have taken up this option ) . In a few areas children can enter a grammar school if they pass the eleven plus exam ; there are also a number of isolated fully selective grammar schools and a few dozen partially selective schools . A significant minority of state - funded schools are faith schools , which are attached to religious groups , most often the Church of England or the Roman Catholic Church . All state - funded schools are regularly inspected by the Office for Standards in Education , often known simply as Ofsted . Ofsted publish reports on the quality of education at a particular school on a regular basis . Schools judged by Ofsted to be providing an inadequate standard of education may be subject to special measures , which could include replacing the governing body and senior staff . Independent schools Main article : Independent school ( United Kingdom ) Approximately 7 % of school children in England attend privately run , fee - paying independent schools . Some independent schools for 13 -- 18 - year - olds are known for historical reasons as ' public schools ' and for 8 -- 13 - year - olds as ' prep schools ' . Some schools offer scholarships for those with particular skills or aptitudes , or bursaries to allow students from less financially well - off families to attend . Independent schools do not have to follow the National Curriculum , and their teachers are not required or regulated by law to have official teaching qualifications . '' Education by means other than schooling See also : Education Otherwise The 1944 Education Act ( Section 36 ) stated that parents are responsible for the education of their children , `` by regular attendance at school or otherwise '' , which allows children to be educated at home . The legislation places no requirement for parents who choose not to send their children to school to follow the National Curriculum , or to give formal lessons , or to follow school hours and terms , and parents do not need to be qualified teachers . A small but increasing numbers of parents do choose to educate their children outside the conventional school systems . Officially referred to as `` Elective Home Education '' , teaching ranges from structured homeschooling ( using a school - style curriculum ) to less - structured unschooling . Education Otherwise has supported parents who wished to educate their children outside school since the 1970s . The state provides no financial support to parents who choose to educate their children outside of school . Post-16 education Students at both state schools and independent schools typically take GCSE examinations , which mark the end of compulsory education in school . Above school - leaving age , the independent and state sectors are similarly structured . In the 16 -- 18 age group , sixth form education is not compulsory , but mandatory education or training until the age of 18 is being phased in under the Education and Skills Act 2008 . This took effect for 16 - year - olds in 2013 and for 17 - year - olds in September 2015 . While students may still leave school on the last Friday in June , they must remain in education of some form until their 18th birthday . Sixth form colleges / further education colleges Students over 16 typically study in the sixth form of a school , in a separate sixth form college , or in a Further Education ( FE ) College . Courses at FE colleges , referred to as further education courses , can also be studied by adults over 18 . Students typically study Level 3 qualifications such as A-levels , BTEC National awards and level 3 NVQs . Some 16 -- 18 students will be encouraged to study Key Skills in Communication , Application of Number , and Information Technology at this time . Apprenticeships and traineeships The National Apprenticeship Service helps people 16 or more years of age enter apprenticeships in order to learn a skilled trade . Traineeships are also overseen by the National Apprenticeship Service , and are education and a training programmes that are combined with work experience to give trainees the skills needed to get an apprenticeship . Apprenticeships come in four levels : Intermediate ( level 2 ) , Advanced ( level 3 ) , Higher ( level 4 -- 7 ) and Degree ( level 6 -- 7 ) . Intermediate apprenticeships are equivalent to 5 GCSEs at A * -- C , Advanced to 2 A-levels , Higher to a foundation degree or above , and Degree apprenticeships to a bachelor 's or master 's degree . A study in 2014 found that unemployment rates among former apprentices one year after completing their apprenticeships were one - third those of university graduates one year after finishing their degrees . A 2015 study by the Sutton Trust found that , while average net lifetime earnings for those who had completed level 5 apprenticeships were higher than those for graduates from non-Russell Group universities , most apprenticeships offered were at levels 2 and 3 , providing little improvement over earnings from secondary school qualifications . The report also found that apprenticeships had a lower perceived value compared to degrees in Britain than in many other countries . Post-16 area reviews In 2015 , the Department announced a major restructuring of the further education sector , through 37 area reviews of post-16 provision . The proposals were criticised by NUS Vice President for Further Education Shakira Martin for not sufficiently taking into account the impact on learners ; the Sixth Form Colleges ' Association similarly criticised the reviews for not directly including providers of post-16 education other than colleges , such as school and academy sixth forms and independent training providers . Higher education Main article : Universities in the United Kingdom The chapel of King 's College , Cambridge University . London School of Economics Library Roof A view from one of the postgraduate study carrels at the Clock Tower of Maughan Library , King 's College London , one of the founding colleges of University of London . Campus of New College Durham , a college of further and higher education Built as a factory in the early 20th century , the William Morris building is now home to Coventry University 's Faculty of Business , Environment and Society The University of Birmingham , a ' Red Brick university ' . Higher education in England is provided by Higher Education ( HE ) colleges , university colleges , universities and private colleges . Students normally enter higher education as undergraduates from age 18 onwards , and can study for a wide variety of vocational and academic qualifications , including certificates of higher education and higher national certificates at level 4 , diplomas of higher education , higher national diplomas and foundation degrees at level 5 , bachelor 's degrees ( normally with honours ) at level 6 , and integrated master 's degrees and degrees in medicine , dentistry , and veterinary science at level 7 . Historically , undergraduate education outside a small number of private colleges and universities has been largely state - financed since the 1960s , with a small contribution from top - up fees introduced in the 1990s , however fees of up to £ 9,000 per annum have been charged from October 2012 . There is a perceived hierarchy among universities , with the Russell Group seen as being composed of the country 's more prestigious universities . League tables of universities are produced by private companies and generally cover the whole UK . The state does not control university syllabuses , but it does influence admission procedures through the Office for Fair Access ( OFFA ) , which approves and monitors access agreements to safeguard and promote fair access to higher education . The independent Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education inspects universities to assure standards , advises on the granting of degree awarding powers and University title , and maintains the Quality Code for Higher Education , which includes the Framework for Higher Education Qualification . Unlike most degrees , the state has control over teacher training courses , and standards are monitored by Ofsted inspectors . The typical first degree offered at English universities is the bachelor 's degree with honours , which usually lasts for three years , although more vocational foundation degrees , typically lasting two years ( or full - time equivalent ) are also available in some institutions . Many institutions now offer an integrated master 's degree , particularly in STEM subjects , as a first degree , which typically lasts for four years , the first three years running parallel to the bachelor 's course . During a first degree students are known as undergraduates . The difference in fees between integrated and traditional postgraduate master 's degrees ( and that fees are capped at the first degree level for the former ) makes taking an integrated master 's degree as a first degree a more attractive option . Integrated master 's degrees are often the standard route to chartered status for STEM professionals in England . Postgraduate education Students who have completed a first degree can apply for postgraduate and graduate courses . These include : Graduate certificates , graduate diplomas , professional graduate certificate in education -- level 6 courses aimed at those who have already completed a bachelor 's degree , often as conversion courses Postgraduate certificates , postgraduate diplomas , postgraduate certificate in education -- level 7 courses shorter than a full master 's degree Master 's degrees ( typically taken in one year , though research - based master 's degrees may last for two ) -- taught or research degrees at level 7 Doctorates ( typically taken in three years ) -- research degrees at level 8 , the top level of the qualifications frameworks , often requiring a master 's degree for entry . These may be purely research based ( PhD / DPhil ) or research and practice ( professional doctorates ) . `` New Route '' PhDs , introduced in 2001 , take at least 4 years and incorporate teaching at master 's level . Postgraduate education is not automatically financed by the state . Fees Until the academic year 2011 - 2012 most undergraduates paid fees that were set at a maximum of £ 3,375 per annum . These fees are repayable after graduation , contingent on attaining a certain level of income , with the state paying all fees for students from the poorest backgrounds . UK students are generally entitled to student loans for maintenance . Undergraduates admitted from the academic year 2012 - 2013 have paid tuition fees set at a maximum of up to £ 9,000 per annum , with most universities charging over £ 6,000 per annum , and other higher education providers charging less . Postgraduate fees vary but are generally more than undergraduate fees , depending on the degree and university . There are numerous bursaries ( awarded to low income applicants ) to offset undergraduate fees and , for postgraduates , full scholarships are available for most subjects , and are usually awarded competitively . Different arrangements apply to English students studying in Scotland , and to Scottish and Welsh students studying in England . Students from outside the UK and the EU attending English universities are charged differing amounts , often in the region of £ 5,000 - £ 20,000 per annum for undergraduate and postgraduate degrees . The actual amount differs by institution and subject , with the lab based subjects charging a greater amount . Adult education Adult education , continuing education or lifelong learning is offered to students of all ages . This can include the vocational qualifications mentioned above , and also : One or two year access courses , to allow adults without suitable qualifications access to university . The Open University runs undergraduate and postgraduate distance learning programmes . The Workers ' Educational Association offers large number of semi-recreational courses , with or without qualifications , made available by Local Education Authorities under the guise of Adult Education . Courses are available in a wide variety of areas , such as holiday languages , crafts and yacht navigation . Qualifications frameworks The two qualifications frameworks in England are the Regulated Qualifications Framework ( RQF ) , for qualifications regulated by Ofqual , and the Framework for Higher Education Qualifications ( FHEQ ) for qualifications granted by bodies with degree awarding powers , overseen by the Quality Assurance Agency . These share a common numbering scheme for their levels , which was also used for the earlier Qualifications and Credit Framework . The RQF is linked to the European Qualifications Framework ( EQF ) and the FHEQ to the Qualifications Framework of the European Higher Education Area ( QF - EHEA ) . RQF / FHEQ level Common qualifications EQF / QF - EHEA equivalent Level 1 Foundation diploma GCSE ( grades D - G ) NVQ level 1 EQF level 2 Level 2 Higher diploma GCSE ( grades A * - C ) NVQ level 2 EQF level 3 Level 3 Advanced diploma A-level International Baccalaureate BTEC National NVQ level 3 EQF level 4 Level 4 Certificate of Higher Education HNC ( awarded by a degree - awarding institution ) QF - EHEA Intermediate qualifications within the Short Cycle BTEC Professional award , certificate and diploma level 4 Higher National Certificate ( HNC ) NVQ level 4 EQF level 5 Level 5 BTEC Professional award , certificate and diploma level 5 Higher National Diploma ( HND ) NVQ level 4 Diploma of Higher Education Foundation degree HND ( awarded by a degree - awarding institution ) QF - EHEA Short Cycle ( within or linked to first cycle ) Level 6 BTEC Advanced Professional award , certificate and diploma level 6 NVQ level 4 EQF level 6 Graduate certificate Graduate diploma Professional Graduate Certificate of Education QF - EHEA Intermediate qualifications within the First Cycle Ordinary bachelor 's degree Bachelor 's degree with honours QF - EHEA First Cycle ( end of cycle ) Level 7 BTEC Advanced Professional award , certificate and diploma level 7 NVQ level 5 EQF level 7 Postgraduate certificate Postgraduate diploma Postgraduate Certificate of Education QF - EHEA Intermediate qualifications within the Second Cycle Integrated master 's degree Master 's degree QF - EHEA Second Cycle ( end of cycle ) Level 8 NVQ level 5 EQF level 8 Doctorates QF - EHEA Third Cycle ( end of cycle ) Criticism According to the Schools Minister , `` strong evidence has been emerging of grade inflation across subjects '' in recent years . The Confederation of British Industry , the EEF and the British Chambers of Commerce are also complaining of falling academic standards . Employers often experience difficulty in finding young people who have such basic employability skills as literacy , numeracy , problem solving , teamworking and time management . As a result , employers either have to pay for employees ' remedial education , or they must hire foreign candidates . Katharine Birbalsingh has written of the problems she perceives in many community schools . She cites the impossibility of effective classroom management , bad teachers who can not be dismissed , and government policies encouraging `` soft '' subjects . Birbalsingh has visited schools in Jamaica and India where pupils are desperate to gain the kind of education to which pupils in her own school ( and their parents ) were indifferent . She was a deputy head teacher in south London until she spoke at a Conservative Party conference in 2010 and was quickly sacked . Frank Chalk , who taught at an inner - city school for ten years before resigning in frustration , makes similar claims . Pupils claiming free school meals ( 2010 ) School type Primary Secondary All 19.3 % 15.2 % Church of England 13.1 % 12.0 % Roman Catholic 16.3 % 14.0 % Non-religious 21.5 % 15.6 % Schools with fewer free school meal children than local postcode average ( 2010 ) School type Primary Secondary Church of England 63.5 % 39.6 % Roman Catholic 76.3 % 64.7 % Non-religious 47.3 % 28.8 % An analysis of 2010 school data by The Guardian found that state faith schools were not taking a fair share of the poorest pupils in their local areas , as indicated by free school meal entitlement . Not only was this so at an overall national level , but also in the postcode areas nearby the schools . This suggested selection by religion was leading to selection of children from more well - off families . A survey of 2000 teachers by The Guardian in 2011 identified a widespread reason for not enjoying the job : lack of trust and respect by senior staff , parents and governments . Writing about her own reasons for leaving teaching , a contributing editor to the newspaper 's Guardian Teacher Network described the realisation of needing to leave the profession as having slowly crept up on her . Being a mature entrant , she questioned things in her aspiration to improve education and was reluctant to `` be moulded into a standard shape '' . Continual government changes in assessment and accountability also heap additional pressure on teachers , with many having to change their teaching materials continuously , purely to keep up with new initiatives , which seem to be driven more by politics than academic research . Throughout the time they are in full - time education children in the north of England do less well than children in the south east . There are also variations in attainment between towns in the north . Calls have been made to remedy this . Many teachers claim they are working 55 or 60 hours a week and many are leaving the profession due to work pressure and fear for their mental health . The Institute for Fiscal Studies claims plans for school spending would cause a `` real - terms cut of 2.8 % in per - pupil funding between 2016 and 2022 '' . Just under a quarter of teachers who qualified since 2011 have left the profession . Schools are asking parents for money because funding is falling short of what they need . There is a gap in performance between pupils from better off families and poorer pupils . To counter this a cross party committee of MP 's suggested giving subsidized housing to teachers willing to work in deprived schools . Also it was suggested would - be head teachers should spend time in senior positions in struggling schools before they qualify to be heads .

Nathanael Greene Class Large Tug 6 Attire ( edit ) Main article : Uniforms of the United States Army <Th_colspan="6"> Current attire Name Pattern name ( s ) Pattern Image Notes Army Combat Uniform ( ACU ) Universal Camouflage Pattern or MultiCam The ACU uses a new military camouflage pattern called the Universal Camouflage Pattern ( UCP ) , which blends green , tan , and gray to work effectively in desert , woodland , and urban environments . The color scheme of the Army Combat Uniform is composed of a slate gray , desert sand and foliage green pixel pattern , which becomes darker or lighter depending on exposure to sunlight . Soldiers operating in Afghanistan are issued an ACU with the more appropriate `` MultiCam '' pattern . In June 2015 , the Army announced to replace its UCP pattern with the Operational Camouflage Pattern , which is a modified version of the Multicam . The UCP will eventually be phased out by September 2019 . Army Aircrew Combat Uniform ( A2CU ) Universal Camouflage Pattern A2CU replaces the Improved Aviation Battle Dress Uniform . Physical Fitness Uniform The standard garrison service uniform is known as `` Army Greens '' or `` Class - As '' . The `` Army Blue '' uniform , is currently the Army 's formal dress uniform , but in 2009 it will replace the Army Green and the Army White uniforms ( a uniform similar to the Army Green uniform , but worn in tropical postings ) and will become the new Army Service Uniform , which will function as both a garrison uniform ( when worn with a white shirt and necktie ) and a dress uniform ( when worn with a white shirt and either a necktie for parades or a bow tie for `` after six '' or `` black tie '' events ) . The Patrol Cap is worn with the ACU for garrison duty ; and the beret with the Army Service Uniform for non-ceremonial functions . The Army Blue Service Cap , is allowed for wear by any soldier ranked CPL or above at the discretion of the commander . Body armor in all units is the Improved Outer Tactical Vest , which is now being supplemented with the lightweight Modular Body Armor Vest and Soldier Plate Carrier System . Head protection is provided by the Advanced Combat Helmet and Modular Integrated Communications Helmet , which are being replaced in deployed units by the Enhanced Combat Helmet . Field equipment ( edit ) Modular Sleep System ( edit ) A Modular Sleep System in use The Modular Sleep System ( MSS ) is a sleeping bag kit used by the United States Army and manufactured by Tennier Industries . It consists of a camouflaged , waterproof , breathable bivy cover , a lightweight patrol sleeping bag , and an intermediate cold - weather sleeping bag ( note that the color differs depending on the vintage of the gear ) . Compression sacks are included to store and carry the system . The MSS is available in a variety of camouflage patterns . The patrol bag provides weather protection from 35 -- 50 ° F ( 2 -- 10 ° C ) . The intermediate bag provides cold weather protection from − 5 -- 35 ° F ( − 21 -- 2 ° C ) . Combining the patrol bag and intermediate bags provides extreme cold weather protection in temperatures as low as − 30 ° F ( − 34 ° C ) . The bivy cover can be used with each of three MSS configurations ( patrol , intermediate , or combined ) to provide environmental protection from wind and water . The sleeping bags are made of ripstop nylon fabrics and continuous - filament polyester insulation ; the camouflage bivy cover is made with waterproof , breathable , coated or laminated nylon fabric ; the compression sacks are made with water - resistant and durable nylon fabrics .

( November 2009 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Zippers with common teeth variations : metal teeth ( top ) , coil teeth and plastic teeth . A zipper , zip , fly , or zip fastener , formerly known as a clasp locker , is a commonly used device for binding the edges of an opening of fabric or other flexible material , like on a garment or a bag . It is used in clothing ( e.g. , jackets and jeans ) , luggage and other bags , sporting goods , camping gear ( e.g. tents and sleeping bags ) , and other items . Zippers come in all different sizes , shapes , and colors . Whitcomb L. Judson was an American inventor from Chicago who invented and constructed a workable zipper . The method , still in use today , is based on interlocking teeth . Initially , it was called the `` hookless fastener '' and was later redesigned to become more reliable .

These teeth can be either individual or shaped from a continuous coil , and are also referred to as elements . The slider , operated by hand , moves along the rows of teeth . Inside the slider is a Y - shaped channel that meshes together or separates the opposing rows of teeth , depending on the direction of the slider 's movement . The word Zipper is onomatopoetic , because it was named for the sound the device makes when used , a high - pitched zip . Examples of special zippers with different tape materials , colors and patterns . In many jackets and similar garments , the opening is closed completely when the slider is at the top end . Some jackets have double - separating zippers with two sliders on the tape . When the sliders are on opposite ends of the tape then the jacket is closed . If the lower slider is raised then the bottom part of the jacket may be opened to allow more comfortable sitting or bicycling . When both sliders are lowered then the zipper may be totally separated . Bags , suitcases and other pieces of luggage also often feature two sliders on the tape : the part of the zipper between them is unfastened . When the two sliders are located next to each other , which can be at any point along the tape , the zipper is fully closed . A two - way ( double - separating ) zipper . Zippers may increase or decrease the size of an opening to allow or restrict the passage of objects , as in the fly of trousers or in a pocket . join or separate two ends or sides of a single garment , as in the front of a jacket , or on the front , back or side of a dress or skirt to facilitate dressing . attach or detach a separable part of the garment to or from another , as in the conversion between trousers and shorts or the connection or disconnection of a hood and a coat . attach or detach a small pouch or bag to or from a larger one . One example of this is military rucksacks which have smaller pouches or bags attached on the sides using one or two zippers . be used to decorate an item . These variations are achieved by sewing one end of the zipper together , sewing both ends together , or allowing both ends of the zipper to fall completely apart . A zipper costs relatively little , but if it fails , the garment may be unusable until the zipper is repaired or replaced -- which can be quite difficult and expensive . Problems often lie with the zipper slider ; when it becomes worn it does not properly align and join the alternating teeth . With separating zippers , the insertion pin may tear loose from the tape ; the tape may even disintegrate from use . If a zipper fails , it can either jam ( i.e. get stuck ) or partially break off . History ( edit ) In 1851 , Elias Howe received a patent for an `` Automatic , Continuous Clothing Closure '' . He did not try seriously to market it , missing recognition he might otherwise have received . Howe 's device was more like an elaborate drawstring than a true slide fastener . Forty - two years later , in 1893 Whitcomb Judson , who invented a pneumatic street railway , marketed a `` Clasp Locker '' . The device served as a ( more complicated ) hook - and - eye shoe fastener . With the support of businessman Colonel Lewis Walker , Judson launched the Universal Fastener Company to manufacture the new device . The clasp locker had its public debut at the 1893 Chicago World 's Fair and met with little commercial success . Judson is sometimes given credit as the inventor of the zipper , but he never made a practical device . The company , reorganized as the Fastener Manufacturing and Machine Company , moved to Hoboken , N.J. in 1901 . Gideon Sundback , a Swedish - American electrical engineer , was hired to work for the company in 1906 . Good technical skills and a marriage to the plant - manager 's daughter Elvira Aronson led Sundback to the position of head designer . The company moved to Meadville , PA , where it operated for most of the 20th century under the name Talon , Inc . After his wife 's death in 1911 , Sundback devoted himself to improving the fastener , and by December 1913 he had designed the modern zipper . The rights to this invention were owned by the Meadville company ( operating as the Hookless Fastener Co . ) , but Sundback retained non-U.S. rights and used these to set up in subsequent years the Canadian firm Lightning Fastner Co. in St. Catharines , Ont . Sundback 's work with this firm has led to the common misperception that he was Canadian and that the zipper originated in that country . Gideon Sundback increased the number of fastening elements from four per inch ( about one every 6.4 mm ) to ten or eleven ( around every 2.5 mm ) , introduced two facing rows of teeth that pulled into a single piece by the slider , and increased the opening for the teeth guided by the slider . The patent for the `` Separable Fastener '' was issued in 1917 . Gideon Sundback also created the manufacturing machine for the new device . The `` S-L '' or `` scrapless '' machine took a special Y - shaped wire and cut scoops from it , then punched the scoop dimple and nib , and clamped each scoop on a cloth tape to produce a continuous zipper chain . Within the first year of operation , Sundback 's machinery was producing a few hundred feet ( around 100 meters ) of fastener per day . In March of the same year , Mathieu Burri , a Swiss inventor , improved the design by adding a lock - in system attached to the last teeth , but his version never got into production due to conflicting patents . Zipper slider brings together the two sides The popular North American term zipper , ( UK zip , or occasionally zip - fastener ) , came from the B.F. Goodrich Company in 1923 . The company opted to use Gideon Sundback 's fastener on a new type of rubber boots ( or galoshes ) and referred to it as the zipper , and the name stuck . The two chief uses of the zipper in its early years were for closing boots and tobacco pouches . Zippers began being used for clothing in 1925 by Schott NYC on leather jackets . In the 1930s , a sales campaign began for children 's clothing featuring zippers . The campaign praised zippers for promoting self - reliance in young children by making it possible for them to dress in self - help clothing . The zipper beat the button in 1937 in the `` Battle of the Fly '' , after French fashion designers raved over zippers in men 's trousers . Esquire declared the zipper the `` Newest Tailoring Idea for Men '' and among the zippered fly 's many virtues was that it would exclude `` The Possibility of Unintentional and Embarrassing Disarray . '' The most recent innovation in the zipper 's design was the introduction of models that could open on both ends , as on jackets . Today the zipper is by far the most widespread fastener , and is found on clothing , luggage , leather goods , and various other objects . Types ( edit ) A coil zipper with its slider removed . Coil zippers now form the bulk of sales of zippers worldwide . The slider runs on two coils on each side ; the teeth are formed by the windings of the coils . Two basic types of coils are used : one with coils in spiral form , usually with a cord running inside the coils ; the other with coils in ladder form , also called the Ruhrmann type . Coil zippers are made of polyester coil and are thus also termed polyester zippers . Nylon was formerly used and though only polyester is used now , the type is still also termed a nylon zipper . Invisible zippers have the teeth hidden behind a tape , so that the zipper is invisible . It is also called the Concealed zipper . The tape 's color matches the garment 's , as does the slider 's and the puller 's . This kind of a zipper is common in skirts and dresses . Invisible zippers are usually coil zippers . They are also seeing increased use by the military and emergency services because the appearance of a button down shirt can be maintained , while providing a quick and easy fastening system . A regular invisible zipper uses a lighter lace - like fabric on the zipper tape , instead of the common heavier woven fabric on other zippers . Reverse coil zippers are a variation of the coil zipper . In a reverse coil zipper , the coil is on the reverse ( back ) side of the zipper and the slider works on the flat side of the zipper ( normally the back , now the front ) . Unlike an invisible zipper where the coil is also on the back , the reverse coil shows stitching on the front side and the slider accommodates a variety of pulls ( the invisible zipper requires a small , tear - drop pull due to the small slider attachment ) . Water resistant zippers are generally configured as reverse coil so that the pvc coating can cover the stitching . A rubber or PVC coated reverse zipper is called a waterproof zipper . Metal zippers are the classic zipper type , found mostly in jeans and pencil cases today . The teeth are not a coil , but are individual pieces of metal molded into shape and set on the zipper tape at regular intervals . Metal zippers are made in brass , aluminum and nickel , according to the metal used for teeth making . All these zippers are basically made from flat wire . A special type of metal zipper is made from pre-formed wire , usually brass but sometimes other metals too . Only a few companies in the world have the technology . This type of pre-formed metal zippers is mainly used in high grade jeans - wear , work - wear , etc. , where high strength is required and zippers need to withstand tough washing . Plastic - molded zippers are identical to metallic zippers , except that the teeth are plastic instead of metal . Metal zippers can be painted to match the surrounding fabric ; plastic zippers can be made in any color of plastic . Plastic zippers mostly use polyacetal resin , though other thermoplastic polymers are used as well , such as polyethylene . Used most popularly for pencil cases , small plastic pouches and other useful stationery . Open - ended zippers use a box and pin mechanism to lock the two sides of the zipper into place , often in jackets . Open - ended zippers can be of any of the above described types . Two way open - ended zippers Instead of having an insertion pin and pin box at the bottom , a two way open - ended zipper has a puller on each end of the zipper tape . Someone wearing a garment with this kind of zipper can slide up the bottom puller to accommodate more leg movement without stressing the pin and box of a one - way open - ended zipper . It is most commonly used on long coats . Two way closed - ended zippers are closed at both ends ; they are often used in luggage and can have either one or two pullers on the zipper . Magnetic zippers allow for one - handed closure and are used in sportswear. ( 1 ) Air and water tightness ( edit ) Waterproof zipper on a diving dry suit . The exterior metal segments clamp the waterproof sheeting over the concealed zipper teeth . The zipper teeth are not visible in this image ( obscured by the edges of the waterproof sheet ) . Airtight zippers were first developed by NASA for making high - altitude pressure suits and later space suits , capable of retaining air pressure inside the suit in the vacuum of space . The airtight zipper is built like a standard toothed zipper , but with a waterproof sheeting ( which is made of fabric - reinforced polyethylene and is bonded to the rest of the suit ) wrapped around the outside of each row of zipper teeth . When the zipper is closed , the two facing sides of the plastic sheeting are squeezed tightly against one another ( between the C - shaped clips ) both above and below the zipper teeth , forming a double seal . This double - mated surface is good at retaining both vacuum and pressure , but the fit must be very tight , to press the surfaces together firmly . Consequently , these zippers are typically very stiff when zipped shut and have minimal flex or stretch . They are hard to open and close because the zipper anvil must bend apart teeth that are being held under tension . They can also be derailed ( and damage the sealing surfaces ) if the teeth are misaligned while straining to pull the zipper shut . These zippers are very common where airtight or watertight seals are needed , such as on scuba diving dry suits , ocean survival suits , and hazmat suits . A less common water - resistant zipper is similar in construction to a standard toothed zipper , but includes a molded plastic ridge seal similar to the mating surfaces on a ziploc bag . Such a zipper is easier to open and close than a clipped version , and the slider has a gap above the zipper teeth for separating the ridge seal . This seal is structurally weak against internal pressure , and can be separated by pressure within the sealed container pushing outward on the ridges , which simply flex and spread apart , potentially allowing air or liquid entry through the spread - open ridges . Ridge - sealed zippers are sometimes used on lower - cost surface dry suits . Anti-slide zipper locks ( edit ) Some zippers include a designed ability for the slider to hold in a steady open or closed position , resisting forces that would try to move the slider and open the zipper unexpectedly . There are two commons ways this is accomplished : The zipper handle can have a short protruding pin stamped into it , which inserts between the zipper teeth through a hole on the slider , when the handle is folded down flat against the zipper teeth . This appears on some brands of trousers . The handle of the fly zipper is folded flat against the teeth when it is not in use , and the handle is held down by both slider hinge tension and the fabric flap over the fly . The slider can also have a two - piece hinge assembly attaching the handle to the slider , with the base of the hinge under spring tension and with protruding pins on the bottom that insert between the zipper teeth . To move the zipper , the handle is pulled outward against spring tension , lifting the pins out from between the teeth as the slider moves . When the handle is released the pins automatically engage between the zipper teeth again . They are called `` auto - lock sliders '' . A three - piece version of the above uses a tiny pivoting arm held under tension inside the hinge . Pulling on the handle from any direction lifts the pivoting arm 's pins out of the zipper teeth so that the slider can move . Components ( edit ) Components of a zipper Different types of zipper pullers and sliders . The components of a zipper are : Top Tape Extension ( The fabric part of the zipper , that extends beyond the teeth , at the top of the chain . ) Top Stop ( Two devices affixed to the top end of a zipper , to prevent the slider from coming off the chain . ) Slider ( The device that moves up and down the chain to open or close the zipper . ) Pull Tab or Puller ( The part of the slider that is held to move the slider up or down . ) Tape Width ( Refers to the width of the fabric on both sides of the zipper chain . ) Chain or Zipper Teeth ( The continuous piece that is formed when both halves of a zipper are meshed together ) and Chain Width ( Refers to the specific gauge of the chain - common gauge sizes are # 3 , # 5 , # 7 , # 8 and # 10 , the bigger the number , the wider the teeth / chain width is . ) Bottom Stop ( A device affixed to the bottom end of a zipper , to prevent further movement of the half of the zipper from separating . ) Bottom Tape Extension ( The fabric part of the zipper , that extends beyond the teeth , at the bottom of the chain . ) Single Tape Width ( Refers to the width of the fabric on one side of the zipper chain . ) Insertion Pin ( A device used on a separating zipper whose function is to allow the joining of the two zipper halves . ) Retainer Box or Pin Box ( A device used on a separating zipper whose function is to correctly align the pin , to begin the joining of the zipper halves . ) Reinforcement Film ( A strip of plastic fused to each half of the zipper tape to allow a manufacturer to electronically `` weld '' the zipper onto the garment or item that is being manufactured , without the need of sewing or stitching . ) Manufacturing ( edit ) Forbes reported in 2003 that although the zipper market in the 1960s was dominated by Talon Zipper ( USA ) and Optilon ( Germany ) , Japanese manufacturer YKK grew to become the industry giant by the 1980s . YKK held 45 percent of world market share , followed by Optilon ( 8 percent ) and Talon Zipper ( 7 percent ) . Indian Tex Corp has also emerged as a significant supplier to the apparel industry . In Europe , Cremalleras Rubi company established in 1926 in Catalonia , continues to compete with the big multinationals selling over 30 million zippers in 2012 . In 2005 , The Guardian reported that China had 80 percent of the international market . Most of its product is made in Qiaotou , Yongjia County . Patents ( edit ) 25 November 1851 U.S. Patent 8,540 : `` Improvement in Fastening for Garments '' 29 August 1893 U.S. Patent 504,037 : `` Shoe fastening '' 29 August 1893 U.S. Patent 504,038 : `` Clasp Locker or Unlocker for Shoes '' 31 March 1896 U.S. Patent 557,207 : `` Fastening for Shoes '' 31 March 1896 U.S. Patent 557,208 : `` Clasp - Locker for Shoes '' 29 April 1913 U.S. Patent 1,060,378 : `` Separable fastener '' ( Gideon Sundback ) 20 March 1917 U.S. Patent 1,219,881 : `` Separable fastener '' ( Gideon Sundback ) 22 December 1936 U.S. Patent 2,065,250 : `` Slider '' In popular culture ( edit ) Zippers have entered into urban legends . American folklorist Jan Brunvand noted that `` The zipper has been the subject of jokes and legends since ... the 1920s '' . Those stories reflect `` modern anxieties and desires '' , emphasizing embarrassments and accidents , primarily involving the flies of men 's trousers in stories such as `` The Unzipped Stranger '' and `` The Unzipped Fly '' . Durability and repairs ( edit ) The zipper is often the least durable component in any garment or type of equipment . Most often the zipper fails to close due to a worn or bent slider not being able to apply the necessary force to the sides of the teeth to cause them to interlock . This problem can sometimes be redressed by using a small pipe wrench or similar pliers to carefully squeeze the back part of the slider together a fraction of a millimeter . This can compensate for the wear of the slider . The slider is typically made as a magnesium diecast which breaks easily . It is necessary to reduce the force on the pliers before it can be felt that the slider actually gives in . If it is not yet possible to successfully close the zipper , the pressure applied to the slider should only gradually be increased . Another way to reduce the gap of the open end of the slider is by preparing a small block of wood by sawing a slot into one end so that it fits over the upper arm of the slider . Then a hammer can be used to exact a force onto the slider by carefully hitting the wood . When the protective coating of the diecast slider has been worn off by prolonged usage , the material can corrode . The corrosion products are usually metal salts which can accumulate and block the slider from moving . When this happens the salt can often be dissolved by submerging the slider in vinegar or another mild acid . Otherwise the slider needs to be removed and replaced .

Lewis 's epic fantasy series The Chronicles of Narnia ( and fifth in internal chronological order ) . It is the third installment in The Chronicles of Narnia film series , and the final film in the series to be produced by Walden Media . This is the only film in the series to be distributed by 20th Century Fox , as Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures chose not to distribute the film after Disney went into a budget dispute with Walden Media . The film is set three Narnian years after the events of Prince Caspian . The two youngest Pevensie siblings , Edmund ( Skandar Keynes ) and Lucy ( Georgie Henley ) , are transported back to Narnia along with their cousin Eustace Scrubb ( Will Poulter ) . They join the new king of Narnia , Caspian ( Ben Barnes ) , in his quest to rescue seven lost lords and to save Narnia from a corrupting evil that resides on a dark island . Each character is tested as they journey to the home of the great lion Aslan ( Liam Neeson ) at the far end of the world . Development on The Voyage of the Dawn Treader began in 2007 , while Prince Caspian was still in production . Filming was supposed to take place in Malta , the Czech Republic , and Iceland in 2008 with Michael Apted as the director , for a planned release in 2009 , but production was halted after a budgetary dispute between Walden Media and Walt Disney Pictures concerning Prince Caspian 's performance at the box office , resulting in Disney departing the production and being replaced by 20th Century Fox . Filming later took place in Australia and New Zealand in 2009 and was converted into 3D in 2010 . It was released in traditional 2D , RealD 3D , and Digital 3D , and a limited release in 4D . The film premiered on November 30 , 2010 , at a Royal Film Performance in London and was released worldwide on December 10 , 2010 . It was commercially successful but met with mixed reviews , praising the performances and visual effects but criticizing the script and pace . The film received moderate success in North America with a gross of $104 million , which was lower than its predecessors . However , it fared better than Prince Caspian internationally with $310 million . The film was the 12th - highest - grossing film of 2010 worldwide with nearly $415 million and received a nomination at the 68th Golden Globe Awards for Best Original Song . It then became 20th Century Fox 's highest - grossing film in 2010 . The Magician 's Nephew was to be the fourth entry to the series , but in Autumn 2011 Walden Media 's contract with the C.S. Lewis estate expired , which placed the possibility of another film on indefinite hold . However , on October 1 , 2013 , The C.S. Lewis Company announced that they have entered into an agreement with The Mark Gordon Company to jointly develop and produce the fourth film , The Chronicles of Narnia : The Silver Chair .

Please help improve it by removing unnecessary details and making it more concise . ( December 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Edmund and Lucy Pevensie are staying with their irritating bookworm cousin , Eustace Scrubb , until the war is over , separated from Peter and Susan . Edmund is still too young to enlist in His Majesty 's Armed Forces . At their cousin 's home , a painting of a ship on the ocean transports Lucy , Edmund and Eustace into an ocean in Narnia . They are rescued by Caspian , who captains the Dawn Treader . He invites them on a voyage to rescue the seven Lords of Narnia whom his uncle Miraz banished . In the Lone Islands , where people are sold as slaves , Caspian and Edmund are captured and imprisoned , while Lucy and Eustace are sold as slaves . Caspian meets one of the lost lords ( Lord Bern ) , who reveals that the slaves are not sold , but sacrificed to a mysterious green mist . They are rescued by their crew . Bern , who becomes the new governor , gives Caspian a sword , one of seven given to each of the lords by Aslan . At another island , Lucy is abducted by the invisible Dufflepuds , who force her to enter the manor of the magician Coriakin to find a visibility spell . She does so , and later introduces him to her friends . Coriakin encourages the crew to defeat the mist by laying the lords ' seven swords at Aslan 's Table on Ramandu 's island , but warns them that they are about to be tested , through temptation . Lucy recites a beauty incantation she found , and enters a dream in which she has transformed into Susan and neither Lucy nor Narnia exist . Aslan chides Lucy for her self - doubt , explaining that her siblings only know of Narnia because of her , telling her `` do n't run away from who you are '' . Another sword is recovered from a magical pool that turns anything that touches it into gold , including one of the lost lords ( which leads to a massive fight between Edmund and Caspian ) . Meanwhile , Eustace finds , and steals from a rock pit full of treasure . While Edmund and Caspian look for Eustace , they discover the remains of another of the lords and recover his sword . A dragon approaches and is driven away from the Dawn Treader . The dragon is revealed to be Eustace , transformed by the treasure after succumbing to its temptations . Reepicheep befriends Eustace , and Eustace is touched by the mouse 's kindness . He undergoes a change of heart and becomes helpful to the crew . The crew arrive at Aslan 's Table to find three lost lords sleeping . As they place the swords on the table they realize one is still missing . A star descends from the sky and transforms into Lilliandil , a beautiful woman who guides them to the Dark Island , lair of the Mist , where they discover the last surviving Lord , Rhoop . Edmund 's fear manifests itself as a monstrous sea serpent that attacks the ship . Eustace fights the serpent , but Rhoop wounds him with the last sword , causing him to fly away with the sword impaled in his side . He encounters Aslan , who transforms him back into a boy , removes the sword from his body and sends him to Ramandu 's island with it . As the crew fights the serpent , the Mist tries to distract Edmund by appearing as Jadis , the White Witch . Eustace reaches the table and fights through the Mist to place the sword upon it , allowing the swords to unleash their magic and bestow Peter 's sword ( of which Edmund was in possession ) with the power to slay the sea serpent , the death of which awakens the three sleeping lords , destroys the Mist and Dark Island and liberates the sacrificed slaves . Eustace rejoins Lucy , Edmund , Caspian , and Reepicheep , and they sail to a mysterious shore before a massive wave . Aslan appears and tells them that his country lies beyond , although if they go there they may never return . Caspian refuses , knowing that he has more duties to do as king , but Reepicheep is determined to enter , and Aslan blesses him before he paddles beyond the wave . Aslan opens a portal to send Lucy , Edmund and Eustace home , but informs Lucy and Edmund they have grown up and can never return to Narnia . Aslan encourages them to know him in their world by another name , and tells a reformed Eustace that he may return . The three enter the portal and swim up to the bedroom . Eustace hears his mother announcing a visitor , Jill Pole . The three leave the room , stopping to look back at the painting , which shows the Dawn Treader sailing out of sight . Cast ( edit ) See also : List of Chronicles of Narnia cast members Pevensies and scrubbs ( edit ) Skandar Keynes as Edmund Pevensie : Edmund is the second - youngest of the Pevensie children and a King of Narnia . He is more matured after the events of Prince Caspian , and he takes good care of his younger sister and cousin while they embark on a voyage to defeat the enemy . On his last journey , his hunger for more power against Caspian and the White Witch is being tested . Georgie Henley as Lucy Pevensie : Lucy is the youngest of the Pevensie children . A Queen of Narnia who first discovered the world of Narnia during the events of The Lion , the Witch and the Wardrobe , she comes back to Narnia to save it from a threatening evil while her faith is being tested along the way . Henley feels that Lucy 's desire to be more beautiful than her sister Susan represents the dilemma of modern teenage girls on beauty and image . Will Poulter as Eustace Scrubb : Eustace is the Pevensie children 's annoying cousin who gets transported to Narnia for the first time . At first , he irritates everyone with his bad attitude , but he dramatically changes after he is cursed and becomes a dragon . With the support of his cousins and the warrior mouse Reepicheep , Eustace becomes a more generous and cooperative soul . He uses his dragon form to good advantage first when the Dawn Treader is caught in magically induced doldrums by towing the ship and later attacking the sea serpent , earning the crew 's respect . Dawn Treader crew ( edit ) Ben Barnes as King Caspian : Caspian was raised as a Telmarine prince and was helped by the Pevensie children to ascend to the throne as the new King of Narnia during the events of Prince Caspian . As the King of Narnia , he has grown into a wise young man and embarks on a voyage to seek the seven lost lords of Narnia and to defeat an enemy who threatens to corrupt it . Along the way , his faith is tested when he is tempted by the green mist of Dark Island , which appears to him as his greatest fear -- his father feeling nothing but disappointment in him . Also on the voyage , Caspian finds a new love interest when he meets Lilliandil on Ramandu 's Island and is instantly smitten with her . Simon Pegg as the voice of Reepicheep : Reepicheep is the valiant swashbuckling mouse who aided Caspian and the Pevensie children during the events of Prince Caspian . He joins Caspian in the voyage on the Dawn Treader because he is aware that his time is at an end ; he must seek the unseen Aslan 's Country as his last voyage . Pegg replaced Eddie Izzard because director Michael Apted thought that his voice is more mature and serious compared to Izzard 's . Gary Sweet as Lord Drinian : Drinian is the captain of the Dawn Treader and Caspian 's best friend . He is a very cautious and protective captain , and is somewhat superstitious about stories of sea serpents . Shane Rangi as Tavros the Minotaur : Rangi also played Asterius the Minotaur in Prince Caspian and General Otmin in The Lion , The Witch , and the Wardrobe . Morgan Evans as Randy the Faun Steven Rooke as Nausus the Faun Tony Nixon as 1st Mate ( Rynelf ) Narnians ( edit ) Liam Neeson as the voice of Aslan : Aslan is a great lion and the highest of all the Kings of Narnia . He tests everyone 's faith as they embark on a voyage to defeat evil and to seek his country in the ends of the world . He later guides Reepicheep to his own country . Tilda Swinton as Jadis , the White Witch and the Green Mist in her form : The White Witch is a former queen of Charn and a witch who ruled Narnia after the events of The Magician 's Nephew and during the events of The Lion , the Witch and the Wardrobe . Edmund 's memories of her are revived by the Green Mist to torment him in his test to defeat Laura Brent as Lilliandil : Lilliandil is the daughter of the retired star , Ramandu and the Blue Star that shines over Ramandu 's Island ; the crew on the Dawn Treader follow her position in the sky to reach the island . She aides the crew in destroying the evil of Dark Island and is also Caspian 's love interest . The name of Ramandu 's daughter is not mentioned in the novel ; Douglas Gresham , Lewis 's stepson and literary executor , and an executive producer of the film , coined the name `` Lilliandil '' . Bille Brown as Coriakin : Coriakin is a wizard and a retired star who guides the Dufflepuds to wisdom . He reveals to the crew the evil that threatens to corrupt Narnia and warns them that each one of them will be tested in their faith by Aslan . Terry Norris as Lord Bern : Bern is one of the Lost Lords of Narnia who settled on the Lone Islands . He later succeeds as its new Governor . Bruce Spence as Lord Rhoop : Rhoop of the Lost Lords of Narnia . He gets trapped on the Dark Island . Arabella Morton as Gael : Gael is a Lone Islander whose mother was sacrificed to the green mist . She later sneaks on board the Dawn Treader to follow her father ( Rhince , played by Arthur Angel ) , who also joins the Dawn Treader crew to look for his wife . She is good friends with Lucy and sees her as her heroine , as Lucy acts much like a big sister to her . Nathaniel Parker as Caspian IX and the Green Mist in his form : The late father of Caspian X , who was murdered by his brother Miraz shortly after his son 's birth . The Green Mist of Dark Island appears to Caspian as his father , telling him that he is ashamed to call him his son . David Vallon as Governor Gumpas , a slave trader who deals with the Green Mist . Michael Foster as Gumpas 's money collector Roy Billing as Chief Dufflepud Cameos ( edit ) William Moseley as Peter Pevensie : Peter is the oldest of the Pevensie children , who was crowned as the High King of Narnia during the events of The Lion , the Witch and the Wardrobe . He was too old to experience the wonders of Narnia after the events of Prince Caspian . Anna Popplewell as Susan Pevensie : Susan is the second - oldest of the Pevensie children and a Queen of Narnia . She was too old to visit Narnia a third time along with her older brother Peter . She went to America with her parents , leaving her younger siblings to spend a not - so - fun holiday with their cousin Eustace . Douglas Gresham as a slave buyer : Douglas Gresham is the stepson of C.S. Lewis and made cameo appearances in all three Narnia films , all of which he co-produced / executive produced . Production ( edit ) Development ( edit ) Michael Apted took over as the film 's director from Andrew Adamson , who opted to produce , with Mark Johnson , Perry Moore , and Douglas Gresham . Steven Knight wrote the script following a draft by Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely . Richard Taylor , Isis Mussenden , and Howard Berger continued their roles working on the production design and practical effects , while visual effects supervisor Jim Rygiel , composer David Arnold , and cinematographer Dante Spinotti are newcomers to the series . The film was officially budgeted at $140 million , although some estimates put the cost at $155 million . The Dawn Treader as featured in the film When Apted signed on to direct The Voyage of the Dawn Treader in June 2007 , filming was set to begin in January 2008 for a May 1 , 2009 release date . Shooting would have begun in Malta , and then moved to Prague and Iceland . A few months later , Disney announced that `` in consideration of the challenging schedules for ( its ) young actors '' , they were delaying the release date to May 7 , 2010 , and filming was moved to October 2008 . Johnson rescheduled the shoot to Playas de Rosarito , Baja California ( Mexico ) , where two - thirds of the film would be shot at the water tank that was used for Titanic and Master and Commander : The Far Side of the World . Filming was also scheduled for Australia . Disney and Walden eventually grew concerned over safety in Mexico , and Australian officials at Warner Roadshow Studios in Queensland offered to become the project 's base for the whole shoot . Disney announced on December 24 , 2008 that they will not be distributing the film , due to a budget dispute with Walden over the box office performance of Prince Caspian , which grossed far less than The Lion , the Witch and the Wardrobe ; Disney wanted to limit it to $100 million , whereas Walden wanted a $140 million budget , of which Disney would only need to provide half . Another reason why Disney opted not to produce the film was because they feared the budget would only grow during filming and post-production . The Los Angeles Times also reported `` creative differences '' led to the split . Times columnist Mary McNamara noted that Disney leaving the series could be a mistake , because Voyage is the most popular Narnia book , while Caspian was the series ' least popular and did not create the anticipation surrounding the first film . Walden had to find a new distributor for the film . Several other studios , including Sony 's Columbia Pictures , Paramount Pictures , Universal Pictures , Warner Bros. , and 20th Century Fox were in negotiations to distribute the film , although several markets already predicted that Fox would take over . It was announced in January 2009 that Walt Disney Pictures would be replaced by 20th Century Fox as the distributor , although Disney would continue to retain the distribution rights for the first two . Fox had pursued the Narnia film rights in 2001 and distributed other Walden projects . Producer Mark Johnson admitted that `` we made some mistakes with Prince Caspian and I do n't want to make them again . '' He said it was `` very important '' that filmmakers regain the magic for Dawn Treader . Writing ( edit ) Michael Petroni was hired to rewrite the script with Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely , following a draft written by Richard LaGravenese and Steven Knight . The previous two films have been described as remaining more faithful to the original stories than the third installment . Apted noted the episodic and disconnected nature of the story would need to be revised for a film version , such as the material involving the Dark Island , the Sea Serpent , and Eustace . They even discussed combining The Voyage of the Dawn Treader with The Silver Chair , much as the BBC combined Dawn Treader and Prince Caspian in its television serial . As a result , some elements were borrowed from The Silver Chair , where Narnians are held hostage and rescued . The author 's estate did not initially receive the change well , but it gained favor after review . Eustace has a greater role as a dragon in the film such as not only allowed to proceed with the ship to the next islands in that state , but also proves a valuable asset for the crew for the remainder of the voyage . This is so he could take a major part in the action and not merely do expedition work duty as in the book . The book 's stream of consciousness description about Eustace gradually realizing that he had become a dragon while sleeping is effective as text , but it could not easily be translated onto film . Further , a noted passage from the book where Aslan peels Eustace 's dragon skin off in layers is not used . Walden President Micheal Flaherty remarked about it that `` people do n't earn grace ; they receive it once they are humbled and aware of their need . '' The old dragon which Eustace finds , and sees it die of old age , in the valley in the book , is not used in the film . Filming ( edit ) Ernie Malik , a unit publicist for the film , confirmed that filming began on July 27 , 2009 , on location in Queensland , Australia . Filming took place at Village Roadshow Studios in August and September 2009 , with filming of exterior shots on board the ship at Cleveland Point and the Gold Coast Seaway in September 2009 . Apted stated that fellow directors Gore Verbinski and Peter Weir recommended him not to shoot on water , so they built a giant Dawn Treader on a gimbal , which allowed it to rock and shift as if on the high seas . At the extreme end of the town 's peninsula , jutting into Moreton Bay , the 145 - tonne ( 160 - ton ) boat could be rotated through 360 degrees to keep the sun angles consistent . Additional shots were taken at The Southport School , also located on the Gold Coast . It was also filmed at White Island in New Zealand . Effects ( edit ) The two stages of animating the King 's College Gatehouse in Cambridge University There are 1,400 special effects shots that were made for The Voyage of the Dawn Treader , more than The Lion , the Witch and the Wardrobe 's 800 and fewer than Prince Caspian 's 1,500 shots . Angus Bickerton served as the lead visual effects supervisor of the film while Jim Rygiel , who supervised the effects on the Lord of the Rings film trilogy , worked as the senior visual effects supervisor . British visual effects companies the Moving Picture Company , Framestore CFC , and The Senate VFX were hired to create the visual effects alongside Cinesite and The Mill . Moving Picture worked on the dragon Eustace and the Dawn Treader . They say the dragon is `` amongst the most heroic characters ever created , and is scheduled to be featured in around 200 shots of the movie . '' They also revised Reepicheep from the previous film by saturating his color , giving him bushier eyebrows and ear hair , and made his whiskers a little more wiry just to give him a sense of age . Framestore also revised Aslan , changing his color palette to be a more realistic lion than a golden lion and adding a darker mane ; they also created 16 different dufflepuds to replace Jonathan Fawkner and Angus Bickerton running around first as dufflepuds on the set ; The Senate worked on the opening shot of King 's College , Cambridge , as well as the star effect on Liliandil at Ramandu 's Island ; Cinesite worked on the Dark Island , and Fugitive Studios did the end titles and credits , which featured original drawings created by Pauline Baynes for the Narnia books . These illustrations were included because the film 's creators wanted the credits to have visual interest , and also because they wished to include an acknowledgement to Baynes , who died in August 2008 . Conversion to 3D ( edit ) `` Well , the thing about us is that we have a long time . We decided in February ( 2010 ) to make Dawn Treader a 3D movie , so we had nine months to do it . Some of these other films put 3D in very quickly . I believe something like Clash of the Titans had about eight weeks . So we have had time to think about it , so it has n't been a rush . I think we 'll get very good value out of it . They wo n't see anything cheap or nasty . Rest assured on that . '' -- Michael Apted defending the film 's conversion to 3D after a series of media criticism of 3D conversions of films released in 2010 , After the success of the 3D release of Avatar , 20th Century Fox announced in February 2010 that The Voyage of the Dawn Treader would be released in Digital 3D and RealD 3D formats ; it is the first Narnia film to have a 3D release . Walden had previous experience creating 3D films , having released James Cameron 's documentaries Ghosts of the Abyss and Aliens of the Deep , as well as Journey to the Center of the Earth with New Line Cinema . The filmmakers initially discussed shooting the film in 3D during principal photography but later decided to shoot in two - dimensional cameras to save on costs . Prime Focus Group was hired in June 2010 to convert the film to 3D during post-production . Film director Joe Dante remarked that Apted was at first skeptical about the conversion , stating `` If I was gon na do a 3D movie , I would have done it differently . '' Later , he remarked that he was excited after seeing progress during the conversion . Dawn Treader was his first 3D film . Johnson later said that the reason for the film 's 3D release was to help Dawn Treader at the box office , where it would be in competition with films such as Tangled , Tron : Legacy , and Yogi Bear which were released in 3D . Music ( edit ) Main article : The Chronicles of Narnia : The Voyage of the Dawn Treader ( soundtrack ) Composer David Arnold scored the film , with themes composed by Harry Gregson - Williams ( who scored the first two films ) . It was the Arnold 's fourth collaboration with Apted , after The World Is Not Enough , Enough , and Amazing Grace . Arnold worked with Paul Apted in editing the score , which he said was `` going to be epic . '' The scoring sessions took place during September and work was completed on October 8 , 2010 . An original song , `` There 's A Place for Us '' written by Carrie Underwood , David Hodges , and Hillary Lindsey , and recorded by Carrie Underwood , was released on November 16 , 2010 exclusively on iTunes . It was released on December 7 , 2010 by Sony Masterworks . Covers of the song have been recorded by various singers around the world for international releases of the film . Marketing ( edit ) Promotions ( edit ) In addition to its production budget , Fox and Walden spent around $100 million to promote the film around the world . In late November 2009 , three still pictures from the film were released on the social networking site Facebook . In February 2010 , Narnia.com , the official domain , returned after a nine - month hiatus , bringing exclusive reports from the set . The full site , with the first trailer , information on the film 's story and cast , and other content , opened on June 17 , 2010 . The film 's first promotional banner was presented at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival , which was followed by a teaser poster in May 2010 . A Christian Narnia conference was held from June 3 -- 6 , 2010 , at Taylor University in Upland , Indiana . Director Michael Apted and some of the producers gave exclusive commentary on and first looks at the film , including a 5 - minute `` super trailer '' . Franklin Graham 's Samaritan 's Purse program promoted an international relief campaign entitled Operation Narnia to donate relief goods to children around the world from July to December 2010 . The historic caravel ship The Matthew was transformed into a replica of The Dawn Treader to promote the film . It sailed from the Atlantic Ocean to the English Channel in August 2010 . National Geographic Channel and Fox conducted a series of contests in Europe for people who want to visit the ship for three days . The National Maritime Museum in Cornwall made the ship available to the public on August 28 to August 30 , 2010 . `` It 's a story that has English roots but its relatable to every child on the planet because its about growing up , finding yourself , coming to terms with yourself and knowing what your values are . '' -- Michael Apted on the heart of the film IGN said that the film `` was far more reminiscent of the vibrant and optimistic The Lion , the Witch , and the Wardrobe than of its dark and violent sequel , Prince Caspian '' . UGO said that `` Narnia 's gone back to the magic '' and remarked that `` sailing the high seas looks fun ! '' The first official trailer for the film was released online on June 17 , 2010 . The trailer was attached to the theatrical release of Toy Story 3 on June 18 , 2010 . and then attached to Alpha and Omega on September 17 , 2010 . 20th Century Fox released the trailer on the Diary of a Wimpy Kid DVD release . An international poster and trailer for the film was shown on October 7 , 2010 . A third trailer was released November 9 , 2010 . To promote the film 's release , American television networks ABC and Disney Channel broadcast The Lion , The Witch and the Wardrobe on December 11 , 13 , and 14 . Cable network Syfy screened Prince Caspian on December 12 and 13 . Books ( edit ) HarperCollins published new editions of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader and The Chronicles of Narnia on October 26 , 2010 , with new images of the film . Harper published a new edition of The Chronicles of Narnia , commemorating the 60th anniversary of The Lion , the Witch , and the Wardrobe , and released it the same day . A movie storybook and several other tie - in books were released by HarperChildrens , Walden Pond Press , and Zondervan to promote the film . On November 12 , 2010 , HarperCollins released an enhanced multimedia e-book of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader for several platforms including iPad and Android . Group Publishing released three previews from the film and included it in their vacation Bible school resource kit called Fun for the Whole Family Hour on August 19 , 2010 . Grace Hill Media released a resource tool entitled Narnia Faith for ministers and pastors on October 12 , 2010 . Games ( edit ) Main article : The Chronicles of Narnia : The Voyage of the Dawn Treader ( video game ) Nihilistic Software and Disney Interactive Studios was supposed to develop a video game based on the film for Xbox 360 , PlayStation 3 , and Wii when Disney was still involved in the project . But when Fox took over the production , Nihilistic sought out negotiations with Fox Digital Entertainment division . They failed to agree on a settlement , which resulted in the cancellation of the video game . Fox Digital Entertainment later collaborated with Gameloft to produce a mobile game for iPhone and iPod Touch which was released on November 18 , 2010 . Release ( edit ) The Voyage of the Dawn Treader held its world premiere on November 30 , 2010 in London at the Royal Film Performance in Leicester Square . It was the first time the Royal Film Performance was screened in Digital 3D and the second time a Narnia film premiered at the event , the first being The Lion , the Witch , and the Wardrobe in 2005 . The premiere was attended by various personalities , including Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip . It was given a pre-release gala on December 8 in Knoxville , Tennessee followed by a North American premiere in Louisville , Kentucky on December 9 , 2010 . The film was originally set to have a May 2009 release date when Disney was still producing it. ; a May 7 , 2010 release date was also announced in early 2009 , soon after Disney left the project . But the film was later delayed when Disney pulled itself and Fox helmed the production . Fox later announced a December 2010 release date because it felt that Narnia will do better during the holidays . It had its major release in Digital 3D , RealD 3D , and 2D formats in Asia and Australia on December 2 , 2010 and in North America and Europe on December 10 , 2010 . Commercial analysis ( edit ) Brandon Gray of Box Office Mojo stated that `` There certainly will be an audience for this picture , I just do n't think it is going to restore the franchise to its former glory . '' He added that the film would be considered a relative success if it made anything close to Prince Caspian 's box office numbers , which would increase the likelihood of further Narnia films . `` They got a little careless by taking the faith group for granted -- and by neglecting it paid the price . We realized we ca n't make the same mistake . We 've got to sell the film to everybody . '' -- Michael Apted on focusing The Voyage of the Dawn Treader to the Christian audiences Mark Johnson , the producer of the Narnia films , later remarked that Prince Caspian `` had strayed from its core audience , '' referring to the Christian and family audience who catapulted The Lion , the Witch , and the Wardrobe to the top at the box office . Tom Rothman , co-chairman of Fox Filmed Entertainment , remarked , `` We think this is a tremendously undervalued asset , we believe there is great life in the franchise . '' He feels the film is not just a single motion picture , but a re-launch of a movie series that still has long - term potential . He commented that Fox and Walden had engaged in talks about further potential Narnia films , though such discussions were made prior to the opening of Dawn Treader . Home Media ( edit ) 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment released The Chronicles of Narnia : The Voyage of the Dawn Treader on Blu - ray and DVD on April 8 , 2011 . The release included a single disc DVD , a two - disc DVD double pack , a single disc Blu - ray , and a three - disc Blu - ray with DVD and Digital Copy . The two - disc DVD double pack will feature an animated short film entitled The Untold adventures of the Dawn Treader , a guide to the Dawn Treader , seven featurettes aired on Fox Movie Channel and 5 minutes of deleted scenes . The three - disc Blu - ray edition will also feature 8 international music videos , a sword game , five Island explorations , two additional short films entitled Portal to Narnia : A Painting Comes to Life & Good vs. Evil : Battle on the Sea , a visual effects progression reel , and a digital copy . Collector 's edition and Blu - ray 3D ( edit ) 20th Century Fox , have announced that the 3D Blu - ray will be released in the US on August 30 , 2011 . Walden Media President Micheal Flaherty stated in an interview that 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment and Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment are developing a collector 's edition box - set DVD and Blu - ray containing the first three films . Reception ( edit ) Box office performance ( edit ) The film grossed $415,686,217 worldwide , including $104,386,950 in North America as well as $311,299,267 in other territories . It is the 12th - highest - grossing film worldwide of 2010 , as well as Fox 's highest - grossing film of that year since , ahead of Knight and Day and Percy Jackson & the Olympians : The Lightning Thief . The Voyage of the Dawn Treader opened in 3,555 theaters across the United States and Canada on December 10 , 2010 . On its opening day , the film grossed $8.3 million , which was far lower than the $23.0 million that The Lion , the Witch , and the Wardrobe made on its opening day in 2005 , and also much lower than Prince Caspian , which had an opening - day gross of $19.4 million in 2008 . Although The Voyage of the Dawn Treader debuted at # 1 at the box office and grossed $24.0 million for its opening weekend , it was far less than the opening weekends of The Lion , the Witch and the Wardrobe ( $65.6 million ) and Prince Caspian ( $55.0 million ) . Despite The Voyage of the Dawn Treader 's disappointing opening weekend , Fox believed that word of mouth and the holiday season would help the film hold well . In its second weekend , The Voyage of the Dawn Treader dropped 48 % , the smallest second - weekend drop in the franchise , and came in with $12.4 million , in third place to Tron : Legacy and Yogi Bear . During its third weekend , the 2010 Christmas weekend , The Voyage of the Dawn Treader dropped only 24 % , the smallest decline among nationwide releases , and grossed $9.5 million . In the 2011 New Year 's weekend , the film increased 8 % from the previous weekend , grossing $10.3 million . On January 22 , 2011 , the film 's forty - fourth day in theaters , The Voyage of the Dawn Treader became 20th Century Fox 's first film to gross $100 million in the United States and Canada since Alvin and the Chipmunks : The Squeakquel crossed that mark in December 2009 . However , it is the slowest Narnia film to reach $100 million in these regions , taking much longer than The Lion , the Witch and the Wardrobe ( nine days ) and Prince Caspian ( thirteen days ) . Overseas , the film performed better . On its limited opening weekend ( Dec. 3 -- 5 , 2010 ) when it opened in only 9 territories ( among them some limited releases ) , it earned $11.9 million ranking 4th for the weekend . On its first weekend of wide release ( Dec. 10 -- 12 , 2010 ) , it expanded to 58 countries and topped the box office , earning $65.8 million , for an overseas total of $79.8 million . The film 's biggest opening market was Russia , where it opened with $10.9 million ( the best start for the franchise ) including previews . It had the best opening of for a Narnia film in Mexico ( $7.1 million including previews ) and South Korea ( $5.3 million including previews ) . Its opening in the UK , a mere $3.9 million , was less than half of what Prince Caspian opened with and about a quarter of the first film 's UK opening in 2005 . However , the film held well throughout the holiday season in the UK , and on the weekend ending January 9 , 2011 it outgrossed the £ 11,653,554 that Prince Caspian made in that region . It made £ 14,317,168 ( $23,650,534 ) at the UK box office . On its second weekend , it held to the top spot at the box office , but declined 53 % to $31.2 million for an overseas total of $125.2 million . It fell to fifth place on the Christmas weekend ( $23.1 million ) and on New Year 's weekend it went down to sixth place ( $19.3 million ) for an overseas total of $210.2 million . It eased 5 % to $18.4 million from 53 markets on its fifth showing for a fourth - place finish . It had a major opening of $6.3 million in China , which was better than Prince Caspian 's $3.9 million . On its 12th weekend ( February 25 -- 27 ) , it surpassed Prince Caspian 's foreign gross ( $278 million ) when it opened in Japan , with a $6.6 million gross , which is behind the first film 's opening ( $8.9 million ) but better than the second film 's ( $5 million ) . Critical response ( edit ) The Voyage of the Dawn Treader was met with mixed reviews from critics . Film review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reports that 49 % of critics gave the film a positive review , based on a sample of 159 reviews , with a rating average of 5.7 out of 10 . The consensus was : `` Its leisurely , businesslike pace wo n't win the franchise many new fans , but Voyage of the Dawn Treader restores some of the Narnia franchise 's lost luster with strong performances and impressive special effects . '' On Metacritic , which assigns a weighted mean rating from film critics , the film has a rating score of 53 out of 100 based on 33 reviews . CinemaScore polls conducted during the opening weekend revealed the average grade cinemagoers gave the film an A - on an A+ to F scale . Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun - Times gave the film three stars out of four , saying `` This is a rip - snorting adventure fantasy for families , especially the younger members who are not insistent on continuity . '' Roger Moore of the Orlando Sentinel gave it three stars out of four ; he remarked it is `` a worthy challenger to the far more popular Harry Potter pictures '' . The Guardian gave the film a positive review . They stated that the film `` arrives with confidence and bravado intact. ... and arguably the most Tolkien-esque of the Narnia books '' . IGN was positive , stating `` The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is a solid sequel that might even surpass the first entry as the best in the series for some fans . It also bodes well for the future of this once iffy franchise . '' Several film critics have praised Apted 's direction in character development and Poulter 's performance as Eustace . Among them , Arizona Republic 's Kerry Lengel said , `` the best thing about the film is neither the top - notch CGI nor the shallow moral lessons but the performance of Georgie Henley as Lucy as well as the performance of her and Edmund 's insufferable cousin Eustace Scrubb . '' Luke Y. Thompson from E ! Online praised the performances , stating `` Henley and Keynes are charming as ever , and Poulter 's turn as Eustace injects a welcome note of comedic cynicism into the sea of sentimentality . Simon Pegg ably succeeds Eddie Izzard as mouse warrior Reepicheep , Bille Brown 's sorcerer Coriakin has a fun performance and a sequence in which Lucy inadvertently wishes her life away is brilliantly disorienting and nightmarish . '' Less positive reviews include Justin Chang of Variety , who said , `` this f / x-heavy third adaptation of the Christian - themed fantasy series feels routine and risk - averse in every respect , as if investment anxiety had fatally hobbled its sense of wonder '' . Entertainment Weekly gave the film a C saying that , `` Lewis embedded his engrossing , popular fantasies with child - size lessons in virtue , served with an overlay of Christian allegory for those who wish to seek it . What 's less expected is that the movie , directed by Michael Apted ( taking over from a more sprightly , fantasy - savvy Andrew Adamson , who handled the first two , along with the first two Shreks ) , looks and feels so wooden , so cheesy . The action sequences are full of dutifully tricky , chessboard fighting lunges and sword swings ; the talking special - effects mouse , Reepicheep ( previously voiced by Eddie Izzard , now by Simon Pegg ) , talks a lot . '' Amy Biancolli of the San Francisco Chronicle also gave the film an unfavorable review and called it , `` the third and most uneven film adaptation in the series . '' With the introduction of the quest for the seven swords , a reappearance of the White Witch , and a larger role for Eustace in dragon form , the movie adaptation attempts to appeal to Everyman and not just to Lewis fans and Christian audiences . Nonetheless , Christian reviewers found much to like . Key for many was the closing scene where Aslan assures Lucy that he is indeed in her own world , where he has another name , and that she was brought to Narnia so that she might come to know him better in her own world . This contrasts with the reception of the first two Narnia films , which Christian reviewers felt lacked key incidents and themes from the corresponding books , The Lion , the Witch and the Wardrobe and Prince Caspian . Accolades ( edit ) On 14 December 2010 , The Hollywood Foreign Press Association nominated The Voyage of the Dawn Treader for the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song ( `` There 's a Place for Us '' ) at the 68th Golden Globe Awards .

The C.S. Lewis Estate were in final negotiations to produce it and were yet to confirm a release date and screenwriter . However , in October 2011 , Douglas Gresham , a co-producer of the films , said that Walden Media no longer owns the rights to produce another Narnia film . If another film were to be made , it would not be for another three or four years . On October 1 , 2013 , it was announced that the Mark Gordon Company would produce The Chronicles of Narnia : The Silver Chair , now officially in development as the fourth film in the franchise . While the film 's producers have been calling the film a `` reboot '' to the series , in actuality this is referring to the fact that the film is a new franchise , has a new cast and creative team not associated with those who worked on the previous three films . In April 2017 , Joe Johnston was confirmed as the planned director for The Silver Chair .

Lee is the player character in the first season of the game , appearing in five episodes . Tasked with protecting a girl named Clementine in the midst of a zombie apocalypse , Lee allies with several other characters and groups . When creating Lee , the developers attempted to achieve realism , with a strong emphasis on him being a parental figure to Clementine . He is voiced by Dave Fennoy , an American voice actor . He received positive reception for his role in the game , specifically the voice work and the writing . Fennoy was nominated for Best Performance by a Human Male at the Spike VGA . Contents ( hide ) 1 Appearances 1.1 The Walking Dead Season One 1.2 The Walking Dead Season Two 2 Concept and creation 3 Reception 4 Trivia 5 References Appearances ( edit ) The Walking Dead season One ( edit ) Prior to the events of the game , Lee was a professor of history at the University of Georgia , but one day came home to find his wife sleeping with another man , a state senator , after constant fighting with his wife for travelling often for her job . In a fit of rage , Lee killed him ; he was subsequently tried and sentenced to prison for murder , long since coming to regret his actions . His crime also distanced him from his parents and brother . The onset of the zombie apocalypse occurs as Lee is being taken to prison ; when the car transporting him crashes into a Walker he manages to escape , but he quickly realizes the dire situation as he soon finds himself hunted across the countryside by several Walkers . He takes shelter in a nearby suburban home , where he finds young Clementine who has been hiding from the zombies as her parents had left for Savannah some time before the apocalypse . Recognizing that Clementine would remain in danger , he offers to take and protect her , hoping that they will be able to find her parents . He eventually goes with her to the Hershel Greene farm and meets a fisherman named Kenny and his wife , Katjaa , and son , Duck . After an accident with Walkers claims the life of Hershel 's son , Shawn , the five are thrown out and eventually meet with other survivors , and form a small group , though Lee remains subdued about his history . After discovering the fate of his own family in Macon , Lee takes on more of a role of a father - figure to Clementine . After having holed up in a motel for three months with dwindling supplies , the group meet the St. John family who invite them to dinner at their family dairy . The group agrees to send out a delegation to the St. Johns ' farmstead to see if they are trustworthy , however Lee discovers the meat the St. Johns is serving for dinner is human , and the family are cannibals . The electric fence protecting the dairy malfunctions and the place is overrun . Soon after , the group is forced to flee and eventually start heading to Savannah via a train . En route , Lee starts to help Clementine learn survival skills such as how to use a gun and why she needs to keep her hair short . As they near the city , Clementine 's walkie - talkie goes off , revealing a man that knows of Lee 's actions to this point and promises Clementine that she will be safe once he deals with Lee . In Savannah , the survivors look for a boat and supplies to flee the mainland . They encounter another group of survivors led by Vernon , a doctor . With Vernon 's help , they are able to prepare the boat for their journey ; before Vernon leaves them , he warns Lee that he does not think he is a fit person to be Clementine 's guardian , and offers to take the child , but this does n't take place . The next morning , Lee wakes to find Clementine gone , and while searching nearby , he was taken by surprise by a walker and Lee eventually discovers that he was bitten . With what little time he has , Lee and the other survivors agree to look for Clementine , at first believing her to have been taken by Vernon . Instead , the man on the walkie - talkie reveals he has taken Clementine , and tells her she will be safe at the hotel that her parents would have been at . After briefly passing out in the now - abandoned safehouse of Vernon 's group , Lee is given the option of amputating his bitten arm . Either way , Lee and the group are able to escape from the hospital where they make their way back to the house , but find that the boat has been stolen by Vernon 's group . Shortly after the house is overrun with walkers but the group escape into the attic , where they eventually find a way out . Many casualties arise while making their way to the hotel , Lee is separated from the others and promises to meet them later on with Clementine . Barely hanging onto consciousness , Lee makes it to the hotel , and finds the man ; the man explains that Lee 's group had previously taken provisions from his family 's car , and ultimately leading to the death of his wife and children , and goes to question Lee 's other decisions and , regardless of whether or not Lee had helped in taking the provisions from the car , ultimately berates him and plans to punish him and look after Clementine as his own . When the man is shown as insane , talking to his wife 's severed head in a bag , Lee gets Clementine 's help to subdue the man and either kills him by choking him to death , or being shot in the head by Clementine after Lee is almost killed . They make it out of the hotel where they see Clementine 's parents as reanimated before Lee passes out . When Lee wakes , he is out of strength and barely able to keep conscious , but finds Clementine has dragged him to safety . With his time short , Lee helps Clementine secure keys and a gun to escape to the rooftops , and instructs her to find Omid and Christa . The player can choose to have Lee instruct Clementine to either shoot him or do nothing and leave him be to become a walker , where Clementine will choose an action based on the culmination of the player 's choices within the game . The Walking Dead season two ( edit ) Lee appears briefly in a flashback that Clementine has after falling unconscious from being shot during the events of the final episode . The flashback occurs during the time the group has fled the motel after Lilly killed Carley / Doug , and Clementine recalls the advice that Lee gave her about learning to survive and cope in this new reality , considerations that she has to keep in mind once she regains consciousness . Concept and creation ( edit ) Lee appeared in the 2012 episodic video game The Walking Dead as the protagonist and playable character . He is voiced by Dave Fennoy , and was written by multiple people , including Gary Whitta in the fourth episode . Fennoy received an audition in an email , and after completing it , he received a call confirming that he got the role . The audition asked for actors to portray him in a `` very real '' fashion , which is a part of Lee 's design that attracted Fennoy . He called Lee `` complicated '' , due to his criminal history , his concern for keeping Clementine safe , and the fact that he associates with people that he may not have had it not been for the zombie outbreak . He added that him having a child of his own helped him relate to Lee and Clementine 's relationship . Whitta described their relationship as `` emotionally authentic '' . Dan Connors , CEO of Telltale Games , compared Lee to Rick Grimes , the protagonist of The Walking Dead comics and TV series . He called him both tough and smart , while also caring . He also called him a `` reflection of the player 's choices '' . Telltale designer and writer Harrison G. Pink commented that it was important to make everything Lee would say believable , and that Lee is a `` human being '' with `` real needs and real fears and real desires '' . While they wanted to allow players to choose what Lee says , all options are things that Lee would realistically say . Reception ( edit ) Lee was acclaimed by critics and fans . IGN 's Colin Campbell wrote an article detailing why Lee `` really matters '' . He explains that the reason why the game is so good is because Lee has a lot of great qualities , such as being nice and modest about his abilities . He goes on to describe him as an `` everyman '' . Fellow IGN writer Greg Miller also cited Lee for why he enjoys the game ; he wrote that he felt he was actually involved in Lee 's development . Kotaku 's Kirk Hamilton writes that he is more interested in seeing Lee grow than Rick Grimes , the protagonist of The Walking Dead comics and TV series . Rock Paper Shotgun 's John Walker wrote that Lee was an everyman character in zombie fiction . The Daily Telegraph 's Emily Richardson felt that the characters drove the story , and cited Lee and his `` mysterious and complex '' character design as a notable example . GamesRadar staff named Lee the 84th - best video game hero . They cited his bravery and devotion to Clementine for his inclusion . Dave Fennoy received praise for his portrayal of Lee , such as by Alan Danzis of the New York Post . Fennoy was nominated for the `` Best Performance by a Human Male '' award at the 2012 Spike TV Video Game Awards , and for the `` Performance '' category at the 2013 British Academy Video Games Awards . Lee 's character won the `` Outstanding Character Performance '' at the 2013 D.I.C.E. Summit . Trivia ( edit ) Lee 's antics ( caring for Clementine with no legal or blood relation , etc . ) are similar to the Les Miserables character Jean Valjean . Valjean cares for a young girl and cares for her until his death . The voice actor for Lee stated in an interview that he cried during filming of the last scene .

It is considered to be one of the biggest rivalries in the association football world along with the Old Firm derby in Scotland , Superclásico in Argentina , El Clásico in Spain , and Derby della Madonnina in Italy , and is considered the most famous fixture in English football . Players , fans and the media alike often consider games between the two clubs to be their biggest rivalry , above even their own local derby competitions with Everton and Manchester City , respectively . The rivalry has been fuelled by the proximity of the two major cities that they represent , their historic economic and industrial rivalry , significant periods of domestic footballing dominance and European success , and their popularity at home and abroad , as two of the biggest - earning and widely supported football clubs in the world . The two clubs are the most successful English teams in both domestic and European competitions ; and between them they have won 38 league titles , 8 European Cups , 4 UEFA Cups , 4 UEFA Super Cups , 19 FA Cups , 13 League Cups , 1 FIFA Club World Cup , 1 Intercontinental Cup and 36 FA Community Shields . Each club can claim historical supremacy over the other : United for their 20 league titles to Liverpool 's 18 and Liverpool for being European champions five times to United 's three . Manchester United have won more total trophies than Liverpool , and they also lead the Merseysiders in so - called `` major '' honours as well .

Since the industrial revolution there has been a consistent theme of rivalry between the two cities based around economic and industrial competition . Manchester through to the 18th century was the far more populous city , and held a position of significance and notability as representative of the north . By the late 18th century , Liverpool had grown as a major sea port -- critical to the growth and success of the northern cotton mills . Over the next century , Liverpool grew to supersede Manchester and throughout the late 19th and early 20th century was often described as the British Empire 's second city . The links between the two cities were strengthened with the construction of the Bridgewater Canal , the Mersey and Irwell Navigation and the Liverpool and Manchester Railway for the transport of raw materials inland . The Manchester coat of arms formed the foundation of the original Manchester United badge The construction of the Manchester Ship Canal , funded by Manchester merchants , was opposed by Liverpool politicians and bred resentment between the two cities . Tension between working class Liverpool dockers and labourers in Manchester was heightened after its completion in 1894 , just three months prior to the first meeting between Liverpool and Newton Heath in a play - off match that would see Newton Heath relegated to the Second Division . Today , the crests of both the city of Manchester and Manchester United include stylised ships representing the Manchester Ship Canal and Manchester 's trade roots . The ship is also included on the crest of many other Mancunian institutions such as Manchester City Council and rivals Manchester City F.C. Post-war shifts in economic ties , reliance on regional coal , and shifts in transatlantic trade patterns caused by the growth of Asian labour markets caused the gradual decline of British manufacturing . While the city of Liverpool suffered the loss of its primary source of income to southern port cities , Manchester maintained some of its manufacturing heritage . This reversal of fortunes happened against the backdrop of shifting political backgrounds and significant events in British culture and society in the second half of the 20th century . The two cities continue to be strong regional rivals , vying for influence of surrounding areas . Their continued importance to the UK economy has been reflected with the awarding of the 2002 Commonwealth Games to Manchester , while Liverpool was awarded the title of 2008 European Capital of Culture as part of its ongoing regeneration . More recent projects by Peel Ports have sought to re-establish the economic links between the Port of Liverpool and Port of Manchester , including re-developing trade links via the Manchester Ship Canal . Football rivals ( edit ) See also : List of Liverpool F.C. seasons and List of Manchester United F.C. seasons Formation to 1945 ( edit ) The Manchester United team at the start of the 1905 -- 06 season . Manchester United F.C. was formed in Newton Heath in 1878 as Newton Heath LYR F.C. , and played their first competitive match in October 1886 , when they entered the First Round of the 1886 -- 87 FA Cup . Liverpool 's team during its first season , 1892 -- 93 Liverpool F.C. was formed in 1892 following a disagreement between the board of Everton and club president John Houlding , who owned the club 's ground , Anfield . The disagreement between the two parties over rent resulted in Everton moving to Goodison Park from Anfield , and Houlding founded Liverpool F.C. to play in the vacated stadium . Liverpool 's first season was in the Second Division in 1893 . The team went undefeated all season , winning the title and being put up for election to the First Division , which would see them play a one - off test match against the bottom side of the First Division for their place . The team that Liverpool were to face was Newton Heath , whom they beat 2 -- 0 to take their place in the first tier . Liverpool won their first Football League Championship trophy in 1901 and followed it up in 1906 , the same season that saw the newly renamed Manchester United promoted to the top flight after finishing as Second Division runners - up behind Bristol City . Two seasons later , by which time Liverpool had fallen into mid-table , Manchester United secured their first league title , winning the 1907 -- 08 Football League by nine points from Aston Villa and Manchester City . They followed this up by winning the first ever FA Charity Shield match when they defeated Queens Park Rangers over two legs in 1908 . The following season , they won the 1909 FA Cup Final , and followed this up with another league title and Charity Shield in 1911 . The outbreak of the First World War disrupted domestic football , and following the resumption of competitions in 1919 Liverpool asserted themselves on domestic football with a brace of league Championships while United found themselves in steep decline that saw them relegated in 1923 . Between 1923 and the outbreak of the Second World War , neither team won any more competitive trophies outside of local regional trophies , with Manchester United spending three separate periods in the Second Division . 1945 to 1992 ( edit ) A comparative chart showing yearly table positions of Manchester United F.C. and Liverpool F.C. in the English football league system from 1892 -- 93 to the present After the Second World War , Liverpool again became English champions in 1947 before the clubs ' roles reversed once more , with the Merseysiders dropping into the second tier as Manchester United found stability under the management of former Liverpool captain Matt Busby , winning the FA Cup in 1948 and then three league titles and Charity Shields apiece in the 1950s . During this time , future Liverpool manager Bill Shankly was approached by then Liverpool chairman Tom Williams and asked , `` How would you like to manage the best club in the country ? '' . `` Why ? '' Shankly replied . `` Is Matt Busby packing it in ? '' . Following Liverpool 's promotion under Shankly in 1962 , the two clubs found themselves in direct competition with each other for the first time , sharing four league titles between 1964 and 1967 , as well as the 1965 FA Charity Shield . Following this , though , the two sides began to drift in opposite directions once more . United 's title victory of 1967 would be their last for 26 years , while Liverpool would enjoy nearly 20 years of sustained success , winning 11 league titles , 19 domestic cups and seven European trophies from 1972 to 1992 . United 's main reprieves during this time came through cup competitions , such as their triumphs over the Merseysiders in the 1977 FA Cup Final and the 1979 FA Cup semi-final replay at Goodison Park . It was during this period , in the late 70s and early 80s , that the modern day rivalry between the two clubs truly began to get heated . According to football sociologist John Williams , United had developed a `` glamour and media profile '' but did n't have the success to match it and Liverpool fans felt the Red Devils were `` media darlings who got far too much publicity '' . There was a perception in Liverpool that their hugely successful but ' professional ' and ' workmanlike ' teams were always somehow in the shadow of the stars at Old Trafford . This led to a derisory United nickname in Liverpool ; `` The Glams '' . 1992 -- Present ( edit ) Manchester United 's 26 - year spell without a league title has been mirrored by Liverpool since 1990 , when the Reds clinched their last league title . Meanwhile , United 's dominance since 1990 has seen them win 13 league titles , 23 domestic cups and seven European trophies . Once again , cup glories such as the 2003 League Cup and 2006 FA Cup allowed Liverpool some retribution against their rivals . Despite their contrasting fortunes , though , only six times since 1972 have neither Liverpool nor United finished in the top two of the league table -- in 1980 -- 81 , 2003 -- 04 , 2004 -- 05 , 2014 -- 15 , 2015 -- 16 and 2016 - 17 -- and even during five of those six campaigns , another piece of silverware was still taken home by one of the two clubs ; Liverpool paraded the European Cup and League Cup in 1981 , while Manchester United lifted the FA Community Shield and FA Cup in the 2004 season and Liverpool claimed the Champions League in 2005 . United brought home the FA Cup again in 2016 and they won a treble of trophies consisting of the Community Shield , League Cup and UEFA Europa League in 2016 - 17 . Managers ( edit ) Notable managers ( edit ) `` `` If you are first you are first . If you are second you are nothing . '' '' <Td_colspan="3"> -- Bill Shankly While Liverpool and Manchester United 's successes are almost identical in number , their systems of achieving these successes vary considerably . Liverpool built their dominance on a dynasty known as the Anfield Boot Room . The boot room itself was where strategy for future matches was planned , however , it became a breeding ground for future Liverpool managers following the arrival of Bill Shankly in 1959 . The original members were Shankly himself , Bob Paisley , Joe Fagan and Reuben Bennett , although the likes of Kenny Dalglish joined later on . Following Shankly 's retirement in 1974 , having secured eight trophies in 15 years , Bob Paisley stepped into the vacant manager 's position and amassed 20 trophies in 9 seasons . Following his retirement , Joe Fagan took over and in the first of two seasons at the club , won a treble of trophies . Kenny Dalglish , while not an original member , was accepted into the group as the next in line for the role of manager , and he combined it with his playing duties to win Liverpool 10 trophies . The boot room connection was finally broken in 1991 , 32 years after Shankly 's arrival , with the appointment of Graeme Souness , who actually demolished the boot room itself to make way for a press room . It did still manage to produce a final Liverpool manager in Roy Evans , who won the League Cup , but upon his resignation in 1998 , the era was over . In contrast , Manchester United have succeeded thanks to the services of three extraordinary men , all decades apart , without the need for continuity and sustained success beyond each man 's departure . Out of the 66 trophies that United have won , 56 have come thanks to the exploits of Ernest Mangnall , Sir Matt Busby and Sir Alex Ferguson . Mangnall was the first great manager of Manchester United , securing five trophies within a three - year time span of 1908 -- 11 . Following his departure to local rivals Manchester City a year later , it would not be until Busby 's arrival 33 years later that the club would be on the trophy trail again . Busby became United 's second most decorated manager of all time ( ironically as an ex-Liverpool player and captain ) , winning 13 trophies at the club including the 1968 European Cup , which saw an English team secure European football 's top prize for the first time . After Busby 's retirement in 1969 though , Manchester United saw their fortunes slip and the club struggled to stay successful until Alex Ferguson 's arrival 17 years later , during which time United only won three FA Cups and two Charity Shields . `` `` My greatest challenge was knocking Liverpool right off their fucking perch , and you can print that . '' '' <Td_colspan="3"> -- Alex Ferguson in response to an Alan Hansen comment in 2002 It was only under the Scot that United regained their glory days , winning 38 trophies during his 26 - year tenure to scale the pinnacles of both English and European football . However , since Ferguson 's retirement in 2013 , the club has gone on the wane again , finishing in the top four of the league just once in four seasons , although there has been frequent success in cup competitions . Players ( edit ) Players ' rivalry ( edit ) `` `` A mate owned a ( Manchester United captain ) Bryan Robson top . We were kicking about , and I asked if I could be Robbo for a while . My dad looked out and went ballistic . He was n't having his kid dragging the Gerrard name through the gutter . I thought we 'd have to move ! '' '' <Td_colspan="3"> -- Steven Gerrard The rivalry has extended to the players as well : Wayne Rooney , a product of Liverpool 's city rivals Everton who played for United from 2004 to 2017 , described how he grew up hating the Reds ( Liverpool ) , while Liverpool 's Steven Gerrard took a film crew on tour of his home where he showed off a collection of football shirts he had swapped with opposing players as part of the after match routine ; he pointed out that there were no Manchester United shirts in there and he would never have one of them in his house . Former Liverpool goalkeeper David James said : `` I could never say I hated any United players just for being United players ... But the rivalry became a habit , I suppose ; on England trips Liverpool lads would eat at one table , United boys at another . There was tension there and we avoided one other '' . Liverpool defender Neil Ruddock once broke both of United forward Andy Cole 's legs in a reserve match , later saying that `` I did n't meant to break both legs , I only meant to break one ... I absolutely destroyed him ... I know it 's not big and it 's not clever but it was great '' . Manchester United 's Gary Neville has been publicly vocal in the past with regards to his dislike of Liverpool . He notably drew the ire of Liverpool fans during the 2006 match at Old Trafford during which he celebrated Rio Ferdinand 's last - gasp winner by running to the stand where the away fans were seated while kissing the crest on his jersey and appearing to shout angrily towards them ; he was fined and given a two - match ban by The Football Association but has stated on multiple occasions that he has never regretted his actions . Following a fixture in which John O'Shea scored a stoppage - time winner in front of the Kop in 2007 , Neville described O'Shea's achievement as `` a lifelong dream '' for himself . Previously in a Manchester derby during the 2003 -- 04 season , Neville was sent off after attempting to headbutt Manchester City 's ex-Liverpool midfielder Steve McManaman : as Paul Scholes commented , `` It 's fair to say the pair of them never got on too well together '' . The animosity amongst players has also extended to the fans on a number of occasions , as in the case of Neville , who regularly became the subject of offensive chants from Liverpool supporters after the 2006 badge - kissing incident . In a retrospective special leading up to the January 2017 match up at Old Trafford , Neville and his fellow Monday Night Football pundit and retired Liverpool one - club man Jamie Carragher both acknowledged that it was actually not uncommon for both United and Liverpool players , particularly locally - born youth academy graduates such as Bury - born Neville and Merseyside natives Gerrard and Robbie Fowler , to celebrate in front of rival fans and that `` you just got to take it in the chin '' . `` `` I ca n't stand Liverpool , I ca n't stand the people , I ca n't stand anything to do with them . '' '' <Td_colspan="3"> -- Gary Neville In the 2011 -- 12 season , the rivalry was exacerbated by claims that , in the first League meeting of the season at Anfield , Liverpool striker Luis Suárez racially abused United 's Patrice Evra . After considering the evidence , an FA panel found that Suárez had referred to Evra using the term `` negrito '' seven times ( Suárez himself admitted to having done so once , but denied racism ) ; he was banned for eight games . This included the FA Cup fourth round tie between the two clubs ( again at Anfield ) , which Liverpool won . On 11 February 2012 , however , United and Liverpool met again at Old Trafford , and Suárez played for Liverpool for the first time since his ban . Prior to kick - off , the two teams were expected to shake hands , but Suárez ignored Evra 's offered hand and moved onto the next United player in line , David de Gea . As a result , Rio Ferdinand and Danny Welbeck rejected Suárez 's handshake . United went on to win 2 -- 1 and Evra celebrated in front of the home supporters , with Suárez close by . Sir Alex Ferguson declared Suárez to be a `` disgrace '' and suggested that he should not be allowed to play for Liverpool again . Kenny Dalglish vehemently denied having seen the missed handshake . The following day , Suárez , Dalglish and Liverpool all issued statements of apology for the handshake incident , which United accepted . The FA decided against any further action against either club or the players involved . Player transfers ( edit ) Since the 1964 transfer of Phil Chisnall from United to Liverpool , no player has been transferred directly between the two clubs . Some players , however , have played for both clubs , but having played elsewhere between each tenure , such as Paul Ince ( playing for Internazionale in between ) and Peter Beardsley ( Vancouver Whitecaps and Newcastle United ) and more recently Michael Owen ( Real Madrid and Newcastle United ) , although Beardsley only played once for United , but went on to be a key player during his four years at Liverpool . In 2007 , there was a bid from Liverpool to sign Gabriel Heinze from United , but United refused to allow him to join their biggest rivals due to the ongoing feud . United claimed that it was agreed Heinze would only join a foreign club if he chose to leave . Heinze went public with his request to join Liverpool which was seen as the ultimate betrayal by the Manchester United fans . The Manchester United fans who once chanted `` Argentina '' in honour of the player then turned their backs on him . Heinze was eventually sold to Real Madrid instead .

Both are in the top 25 in Europe with Manchester United considered to have the largest following of all , as well as having one of the highest average home attendances in Europe and boasting a large travelling support . The club states that its worldwide fan base includes more than 200 officially recognised branches of the Manchester United Supporters Club ( MUSC ) , in at least 24 countries . Liverpool states that its worldwide fan base also includes more than 200 officially recognised branches of the LFC Official Supporters Clubs in at least 50 countries . Notable groups include Spirit of Shankly and Reclaim The Kop . The 2005 leveraged takeover of Manchester United by the Glazer family created a schism amongst Manchester fans , directly causing the creation of F.C. United of Manchester , and the `` Love United Hate Glazer '' movement , and subsequently the Red Knights who attempted to buy the Glazers out the club . Two years later , Liverpool went through its own controversial takeover when Chairman David Moores sold the club to American businessmen George Gillett and Tom Hicks . Disagreements between Gillett and Hicks , and the lack of popular support from fans , resulted in the pair looking to sell the club . Martin Broughton was appointed chairman of the club on 16 April 2010 to oversee its sale . Court action finally forced the sale of the club to Fenway Sports Group . Hooliganism ( edit ) Main article : Football hooliganism With the rise of football hooliganism across English football during the 1970s and 1980s , matches between the two clubs brought some minor and major incidents of hooliganism . Since then , the modern game has seen a decrease in violence between the rival supporters and incidents are fairly uncommon . This is more likely due to an increase in Police presence and CCTV with huge steps taken to keep the fans separated . To this day , both sets of fans still hold a resentment toward each other . As well as physical violence , sections of the clubs ' fan bases often taunt each other with unsavoury chants about the Munich air disaster and the Hillsborough disaster respectively . At the 1996 FA Cup Final , an unidentified Liverpool fan spat at Eric Cantona and threw a punch at Alex Ferguson as a victorious Manchester United team walked up the steps at Wembley Stadium to collect the trophy from the Royal Box . The 2006 FA Cup match at Anfield featured foreign objects thrown at United fans by Liverpool supporters , including human excrement . Liverpool 's FA Cup semi-final game against Chelsea at Old Trafford later that year also resulted in damage to the stadium , including graffiti about serial killer Harold Shipman . In March 2011 , the Daily Mail reported that an FA Youth Cup game between the two clubs was marred because of `` sick chants '' about Hillsborough and Heysel coming from the Manchester United fans at Anfield . The article also claims that six Manchester United fans were ejected from the stadium due to bad behaviour . Former Liverpool striker John Aldridge was at the game and told the Liverpool Echo that `` the level of abuse was absolutely sickening '' . In March 2016 , before Liverpool 's first leg tie at Anfield against Manchester United , it was reported that a group of Liverpool fans hung a `` Manc Bastards '' banner on the M62 , as 2,300 Manchester United supporters made the trip to Anfield . It was confiscated by the police , shortly after . Liverpool won the match 2 -- 0 . Before the second leg tie at Old Trafford. , Liverpool fans were greeted with a banner on the M62 motorway in Salford that said ' murderers ' and also had the Hillsborough Disaster date on it . UEFA took no disciplinary action against Manchester United . During the same game , there were reported crowd disturbances , coming from the Manchester United end . It was later reported that a Liverpool supporter sneaked a Liverpool banner in the United section , causing to aggravate United supporters in the stand . Liverpool supporters ripped seats , and supporters threw objects at each other , also fighting with United supporters . Liverpool were fined £ 43,577 . by UEFA for setting off flares / crowd fireworks & ' illicit chants ' , whilst Manchester United were fined £ 44,342 for illicit chants & the throwing of objects . Both clubs ' fines included £ 15,290 suspended for two years . Liverpool drew 1 -- 1 , and progressed to the Europa League quarter - finals against Borussia Dortmund . Significant games ( edit ) 1894 test match ( edit ) The first ever meeting between both clubs came in a Football League test match in 1894 , a post-season series to determine who will receive First Division membership for 1894 -- 95 . As Newton Heath finished bottom of the First Division at the end of 1893 -- 94 , they had to play off against the champions of the Second Division , Liverpool . Liverpool won the tie 2 -- 0 at Ewood Park in Blackburn , earning them First Division membership and condemning Newton Heath to the Second Division . 1977 FA Cup final ( edit ) In 1977 , the two clubs met in a cup final for the first time , when they reached the final of the FA Cup . The two clubs took to the field at Wembley on 21 May , with Liverpool having just won the league title , knowing that winning this game would put them on course for a unique treble as they had the European Cup final to look forward to four days later . However , United ended Liverpool 's treble dreams with a 2 -- 1 win , with goals from Stuart Pearson and Jimmy Greenhoff , five minutes apart with a Jimmy Case goal for Liverpool in between . 1983 football league Cup final ( edit ) Six years later , on 26 March 1983 , the two sides met for the Football League Cup final . Goals from Alan Kennedy and Ronnie Whelan won the game 2 -- 1 for Liverpool , after Norman Whiteside had given United the lead . Liverpool collected the trophy for the third year in succession . It was the last of Liverpool manager Bob Paisley 's nine seasons in charge ( during which Liverpool had dominated the English and European scene ) before his retirement , and his players allowed him to climb the 39 steps to collect the trophy from the Royal Box . Anfield 1988 ( edit ) On 4 April 1988 , Liverpool were 11 points ahead at the top of the league and almost certain of winning the First Division title with barely a month of the league season remaining . United , in their first full season under the management of Alex Ferguson , were their nearest rivals . The two sides took to the field for a league encounter at Anfield and with the second half just minutes old the home side had a 3 -- 1 lead with goals from Peter Beardsley , Gary Gillespie and Steve McMahon , with United 's only goal coming from Bryan Robson . Robson then pulled a goal back for United , and with 12 minutes remaining fellow midfielder Gordon Strachan equalised to force a 3 -- 3 draw . Other notable games ( edit ) On 4 January 1994 , in the second season of the new FA Premier League , United took a 3 -- 0 lead at Anfield in the opening 25 minutes with goals from Steve Bruce , Ryan Giggs and Denis Irwin . Liverpool managed to claw back to draw 3 -- 3 with two goals from Nigel Clough and another from Neil Ruddock . It was one of the last games in charge of Liverpool for manager Graeme Souness , who had resigned by the end of the month . On 1 October 1995 , United 's Eric Cantona made his comeback to the side after serving an eight - month suspension for attacking a spectator in a game against Crystal Palace . His comeback game was against Liverpool in the Premier League at Old Trafford . United took an early lead through Nicky Butt , only for Liverpool 's Robbie Fowler to score twice and give the visitors a 2 -- 1 lead . However , United were awarded a penalty in the 71st minute and Cantona converted it successfully , forcing a 2 -- 2 draw . At the end of the season , the two sides met again at Wembley for the FA Cup Final . The game stayed goalless until the 85th minute , when Liverpool conceded a corner , which David Beckham swung into the box to be cleared by David James , only for Eric Cantona to fire home United 's winner . In March 2003 , the two clubs once again met in a cup final , this time in the League Cup , with Liverpool lifting the trophy after goals from Steven Gerrard and Michael Owen gave them a 2 -- 0 win . Alan Wiley shows a red card to Nemanja Vidić of Manchester United on 14 March 2009 On 14 March 2009 , the two sides met at Old Trafford in the Premier League . United were ahead at the top of the league and Liverpool were looking to make a late run to the title which had eluded them since 1990 . United went ahead in the 23rd minute with a Cristiano Ronaldo penalty , but Fernando Torres equalised five minutes later for Liverpool , and a Steven Gerrard penalty just before half - time put Liverpool in the lead . United had Nemanja Vidić sent off in the 76th minute , and their misery was swiftly compounded by late goals from Fábio Aurélio and finally Andrea Dossena , condemning them to a 4 -- 1 defeat , their heaviest at Old Trafford in any competition for 17 years . Despite the loss , Manchester United were crowned league champions for the third season in succession and equalled Liverpool 's 18 league titles , with Liverpool finishing four points behind in second . The league fixture on 11 February 2012 was marked by controversy regarding Liverpool striker Luis Suárez refusal to shake hands with Patrice Evra , following an eight - match suspension for racially abusing Evra in the previous meeting between the sides . Following the 2 -- 1 victory for United after a brace from Wayne Rooney , Evra in turn controversially celebrated right in front of Suárez , and was swept aside by opposition players finding the gesture provocative .

when did the nba ban high school players
NBA high school draftees - wikipedia NBA high school draftees Jump to : navigation , search The NBA high school draftees are players who have been drafted to the National Basketball Association ( NBA ) straight out of high school without playing basketball at the collegiate level . The process of jumping directly from high school to the professional level is also known as going prep - to - pro . Since 2006 , the practice of drafting high school players has been prohibited by the new collective bargaining agreement , which requires that players who entered the draft be 19 years of age and at least one year removed from high school . Contrary to popular belief , the player does not have to play at least a year in college basketball , as the player can choose to instead play in another professional league ( especially overseas ) like Brandon Jennings or Emmanuel Mudiay in Italy and China respectively , simply take the year off , such as the case with Satnam Singh Bhamara , or even hold themselves back a year in high school before declaring for the draft , such as the case with Thon Maker . The NBA has long had a preference for players who played basketball at the collegiate level ; the vast majority of players to play in the NBA have had college experience . However , there have been numerous notable players who attended high school in the United States and then jumped directly to the NBA without playing college basketball . Contents ( hide ) 1 History 1.1 Early years 1.2 1995 -- 2005 1.3 2005 -- present 2 List 3 Other players 4 Controversy 5 See also 6 Notes 7 References 8 External links History ( edit ) Early years ( edit ) In the early years of the NBA draft , a player had to finish his four - year college eligibility to be eligible for selection . Reggie Harding , who had graduated from high school but did not enroll in a college , became the first player drafted out of high school when the Detroit Pistons selected him in the fourth round of the 1962 draft . However , the NBA rules at that time prohibited a high school player to play in the league until one year after his high school class graduated . Thus , he spent a year playing in a minor basketball league before he was drafted again in the 1963 draft by the Pistons . He finally entered the league in the 1963 -- 64 season and played four seasons in the NBA and American Basketball Association ( ABA ) . In 1971 , the U.S. Supreme Court decision Haywood v. National Basketball Association ruled , 7 -- 2 against the National Basketball Association 's requirement that a player must wait four years after high school graduation ( which in most cases was spent playing in college ) before turning professional . This ruling allowed players to enter the NBA Draft without four years of college , provided they could give evidence of hardship to the NBA office . In 1974 , the NBA 's rival , the ABA , drafted high school star Moses Malone . He was immediately signed by the Utah Stars and became the first player to go directly from high school basketball to a professional league . He became an instant success , averaging 18 points and 14 rebounds per game in his rookie season . He played in the ABA until the ABA -- NBA merger in 1976 . He then played 19 successful seasons with 7 NBA teams . He won the NBA championship , along with the Finals Most Valuable Player Award , with the Philadelphia 76ers in 1983 . His other achievements include 3 Most Valuable Player Awards , 12 consecutive All - Star Game selections , 8 All - NBA Team selections and 6 rebounding titles . He has been inducted to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame and was also named in the 50 Greatest Players in NBA History list announced at the league 's 50th anniversary in 1996 . A year later , two high school players , Darryl Dawkins and Bill Willoughby , applied for hardship and were declared eligible to be selected in the 1975 draft . They had applied and gave evidence of financial hardship to the league , which granted them the right to start earning their living by starting their professional careers earlier . Dawkins was selected 5th by the Philadelphia 76ers while Willoughby was selected 19th by the Atlanta Hawks . Dawkins played 14 seasons and averaged 12 points and 6 rebounds per game . Willoughby played 8 seasons with 6 different teams and averaged only 6 points per game . Neither player reached the level of success that was expected . It is argued that they could have been better players if they had college basketball experience before entering the NBA . After Dawkins and Willoughby , no high schoolers were drafted for 14 years , though several players entered the league without playing college basketball . One notable player , Shawn Kemp , enrolled in college but never played any games due to personal problems . In 1989 , a year after his high school graduation , he was drafted by the Seattle SuperSonics . He played 14 seasons in the NBA and was selected to 6 All - Star Games and 3 All - NBA Teams . 1995 -- 2005 ( edit ) Kevin Garnett 's high - profile migration from high school to the NBA in 1995 prompted many high schoolers to follow in his footsteps In 1995 , Kevin Garnett , USA Today 's high school basketball player of the year , announced his intentions to forgo college , and declared himself eligible for the 1995 NBA draft . The move was highly controversial ; the conventional wisdom at the time was that high - schoolers were neither emotionally nor physically mature enough for the rigors of the NBA game . On draft day , Garnett was selected with the # 5 pick in the first round by the Minnesota Timberwolves . Garnett led the Timberwolves to eight consecutive playoff berths and was a multiple All - Star during his time with the team . In 2004 , the Wolves advanced to the Western Conference Finals before losing to the Lakers ; Garnett was named Most Valuable Player that year . After a trade in the 2007 offseason to the Boston Celtics , he was a core player in the Celtics ' first NBA title in over 20 years . In 1996 , two notable players made the jump from high school to the NBA . The first was Kobe Bryant , selected by the Charlotte Hornets with the 13th pick of the NBA draft , but traded almost immediately to the Los Angeles Lakers . The second was Jermaine O'Neal , selected by the Trail Blazers with the 17th pick . O'Neal was traded in 2000 to the Indiana Pacers ( and later to the Miami Heat ) . In 1997 , another All - Star caliber player , Tracy McGrady , was selected by the Toronto Raptors . In 1998 , three high - schoolers were drafted with Al Harrington and Rashard Lewis experiencing the most success . Darius Miles became the highest high school player selected with the third pick in the 2000 , until the following year . In 2001 , Kwame Brown ( selected by the Washington Wizards ) became the first high - schooler to be selected with the number one pick in the draft ; since then , LeBron James ( 2003 ) and Dwight Howard ( 2004 ) have also been selected with the first pick . Other notable high - schoolers include Tyson Chandler and Eddy Curry ( 2001 ) ; Amar'e Stoudemire ( 2002 ) ; Josh Smith , Sebastian Telfair , J.R. Smith , and Shaun Livingston ( 2004 ) ; Andrew Bynum and Monta Ellis ( 2005 ) . Many prep - to - pro players like Kevin Garnett , Kobe Bryant , LeBron James , and Tracy Mcgrady went on to become star players in the NBA . Kevin Garnett , Kobe Bryant , LeBron James have all won the league 's MVP Award ; as well as holding at least one NBA title under their belt , and are widely regarded as future Hall - of - Famers . Dwight Howard , Jermaine O'Neal and Amar'e Stoudemire also became perennial All - Stars in their prime . However , not all high - schoolers were successful . Kwame Brown and Eddy Curry are widely regarded as draft busts , while Jonathan Bender and Darius Miles had their careers cut short by injury . Korleone Young ( drafted in 1998 ) and Leon Smith ( drafted in 1999 ) only played a handful of games in the NBA , while Lenny Cooke and DeAngelo Collins , both of whom declared for the 2002 Draft , went undrafted and never played in the NBA . 2005 -- present ( edit ) Brandon Jennings spent a year playing in Italy before entering the NBA Beginning 2005 , both the NBA and the players ' union started to discuss the possibility of implementing a new age limit . The league lobbied for an age minimum of 20 while the union was against an age limit . Finally in July 2005 , both sides compromised in the new collective bargaining agreement , requiring that the minimum age for entry into the NBA be 19 and that entrants be at least one year removed from high school . For the first time , teams are also allowed to send players , with two years of NBA experience or less , to the NBA Development League ( NBA D - League ) . The terms of the new agreement ended the practice of drafting high school players , starting in the 2006 Draft . A high school player must wait at least a year to be eligible for selection . However , they are not required to spend that year in college . In 2008 , high school star Brandon Jennings decided to skip college and play professional basketball in Italy . After a year , he was eligible for the 2009 draft and was selected 10th by the Milwaukee Bucks . In the 2010 draft , Latavious Williams , who did not qualify academically to go to college , spent a year playing in the NBA D - League before he was drafted in the second round . Emmanuel Mudiay decided to take a route similar to that of Brandon Jennings by skipping college to play professionally in China in 2014 before being selected by the Denver Nuggets at pick 7 a year later . In the 2015 draft , Satnam Singh Bhamara , who did not qualify academically to go to college , went straight to the NBA draft as a post-graduate after being at IMG Academy for five years . He would be taken by the Dallas Mavericks with the 52nd pick in the draft , thus becoming the first high school student to be drafted since the rule changes . Most recently , in the 2016 draft , one of the Top -- 10 players that was declared eligible for NCAA play in 2016 , Thon Maker , decided to enter the draft instead as a post-graduate from Orangeville Prep in Orangeville , Ontario , Canada due to him originally declaring himself as eligible for college in 2015 . Thon would also mark the first player to be drafted directly from a Canadian high school , as well as the second player to enter as a post-graduate . He 'd also be the first high schooler to be drafted in the first round since 2005 . He would be drafted by the Milwaukee Bucks with the tenth pick in the draft , becoming the first high school student to be taken in the first round in that range since 2005 . Some players support the new age limit . Gerald Green called it `` a smart move '' , saying that `` ( not everybody is ) LeBron James ... He came in ready and he dominated the league . There 's a lot of players that have to get developed . Me , I 've got to get developed . But I guess that age limit , that one year of college experience , can get you more developed and I think that 's pretty good . '' Others , however , strongly criticize the rule . Andrew Bynum said `` That 's something I 'll never understand .

Controversy ( edit ) Further information : National Basketball Association criticisms and controversies § Age limit Despite the success of some high school players drafted , the entry of high school players into the NBA remains controversial . Critics say that high school players are not mentally and physically mature or prepared enough to handle the pressure of professional play . Thus , they are more likely to fail . Instead , they believe that colleges are useful at filtering out players who can dominate against weak competition in high school , but can not succeed at a higher level of play . They also think that the influx of high schoolers bypassing colleges in favor of the NBA has caused collegiate game to deteriorate . Universities are wary of spending time recruiting as many players that are motivated financially to turn pro fresh out of high school . On the other hand , proponents argue that there is no valid reason to exclude high school players . Michael McCann , writer of law article `` Illegal Defense : The Irrational Economics of Banning High School Players from the NBA Draft '' , contends that players drafted straight out of high school can do as well as any other players in the NBA . The article finds that `` on average , these ( high school ) players perform better in every major statistical category than does the average NBA player '' . Others instead believe that the problem was due to the lack of established farm system in basketball until recently . In other major sports , such as baseball and hockey , it is common for young players to develop in their minor league systems . See also ( edit ) Haywood v. National Basketball Association Notes ( edit ) Each year is linked to an article about that particular NBA Draft . Year denotes the year when the player graduated from high school .

History of the oil industry in India - wikipedia History of the oil industry in India This article is an orphan , as no other articles link to it . Please introduce links to this page from related articles ; try the Find link tool for suggestions . ( December 2014 ) The history of the Indian oil industry extends back to the period of the British Raj , at a time when petroleum first became a primary global energy source . Contents 1 Colonial rule , 1858 - 1947 2 Independence , 1947 - 1991 3 Liberalisation , 1991 - present 4 See also 5 References 6 External links Colonial rule , 1858 - 1947 ( edit ) 1866 : Oil discovery at Nahorpung , Assam . Not explored . 1882 : Big `` Oil Seepage '' in Digboi during construction of Dibrugarh - Ledo Railway Line . The first oil production started in India in 1889 near the town of Digboi in the state of Assam . A Small thatched structure was erected and christened `` Oil well no. 1 '' or `` Discovery '' . This discovery came on the heels of industrial development . The Assam Railways and Trading Company ( ARTC ) had recently opened the area for trade by building a railway and later finding oil nearby . The first well was completed in 1890 and in 1893 first refinery started at Margharita , Assam . The Assam Oil Company was established in 1899 to oversee production . In 1901 , Digboi Refinery was commissioned supplanting the earlier refinery at Margharita . At its peak during the Second World War the Digboi oil fields were producing 7,000 barrels per day. . In the year 1909 , IBP ( Indo Burmah Petroleum ) was incorporated in Rangoon to explore oil wells that had been discovered in Burma and Assam . Oil in colonial India was mostly exploited by a number of British companies with intricate alliances . Their output began to increase during the first and second world wars to support British troops and industries in the United Kingdom . In 1928 , Asiatic Petroleum Company ( India ) started cooperation with Burmah Oil Company . This alliance led to the formation of Burmah - Shell Oil Storage and Distributing Company of India Limited . Burmah - Shell began its operations with import and marketing of Kerosene . On 24th of January , 1976 , the Burmah Sell was taken over by the Government of India to form Bharat Refineries Limited . On 1st August , 1977 , it was renamed as Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited . Independence , 1947 - 1991 ( edit ) After India won independence in 1947 , the new government moved to a Communist system , often termed as License Raj . In terms of economic policy this meant a far bigger role for the government and little or no role for the private sector . This resulted in a focus on centralized planning , heavily bureaucratic and inefficient system that meant a large public sector and economic protectionism . The foreign companies continued to play a key role in the oil industry . Oil India Limited was still a joint venture involving the Indian government and the British owned Burmah Oil Company ( presently , BP ) whilst the Indo - Stanvac Petroleum project in West Bengal was between the Indian government and the American company SOCONY - Vacuum ( presently , ExxonMobil ) . This changed in 1956 when the government adopted an industrial policy that placed oil as a `` schedule A industry '' and put its future development in the hands of the state . In October 1959 an Act of Parliament was passed which gave the state owned Oil and Natural Gas Commission ( ONGC ) the powers to plan , organise , and implement programmes for the development of oil resources and the sale of petroleum products and also to perform plans sent down from central government . In order to find the expertise necessary to reach these goals foreign experts from West Germany , Romania , the US , and the Soviet Union were brought in . The Soviet experts were the most influential and they drew up detailed plans for further oil exploration which were to form part of the second five - year plan . India thus adopted the Soviet model of economic development and the state continues to implement five - year plans as part of its drive towards modernity . The increased focus on exploration resulted in the discovery of several new oil fields most notably the off - shore Bombay High field which remains by a long margin India 's most productive well . Liberalisation , 1991 - present ( edit ) The process of economic liberalisation in India began in 1991 when India defaulted on her loans and asked for a $1.8 billion bailout from the IMF . This was a trickle - down effect of the culmination of the cold war era ; marked by the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union , India 's main trading partner . The bailout was done on the condition that the government initiate further reforms , thus paving the way for India 's emergence as a free market economy , which would open up its markets to western companies . For the ONGC this meant being reorganised into a public limited company ( it is now called for Oil and Natural Gas Corporation ) and around 2 % of government held stocks were sold off . Despite this however the government still plays a pivotal role and ONGC is still responsible for 77 % of oil and 81 % of gas production while the Indian Oil Corporation ( IOC ) owns most of the refineries putting it within the top 20 oil companies in the world . The government also maintains subsidised prices . As a net importer of oil however India faces the problem of meeting the energy demands for its rapidly expanding population and economy and to this the ONGC has pursued drilling rights in Iran and Kazakhstan and has acquired shares in exploration ventures in Indonesia , Libya , Nigeria , and Sudan . India 's choice of energy partners however , most notably Iran led to concerns radiating from the US . A key issue today is the proposed gas pipeline that will run from Turkmenistan to India through politically unstable Afghanistan and also through Pakistan . However , despite India 's strong economic links with Iran , India voted with the US when Iran 's nuclear program was discussed by the International Atomic Energy Agency although there are still very real differences between the two countries when it comes to dealing with Iran .

The show underwent a number of changes from the ninth season , including the return of Nigel Lythgoe as executive producer . Randy Jackson returned as judge for his tenth season while Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler joined the judging panel following the departures of Simon Cowell , Kara DioGuardi and Ellen DeGeneres . Interscope Records , which is part of Universal Music Group , replaced Sony Music Entertainment as Idol 's official partner record label . Interscope 's Chairman Jimmy Iovine , a songwriter and producer , was named as the in - house mentor to work with the contestants on a weekly basis . He was supported by associated producers Rodney Jerkins , Alex da Kid , Tricky Stewart , Don Was , will.i.am , and Timbaland , who all helped the contestants tailor their song choices to their chosen genre of performance , while also producing arrangements for the contestants and offering original material to be performed . Ray Chew replaced Rickey Minor as the show 's musical director and leader of Idol 's live band . Programming changes affecting viewership included a revision in the days of broadcast from Tuesdays and Wednesdays to Wednesdays and Thursdays . The show also opened up an option for viewers to cast their votes online through Facebook , allowing 50 votes per account . Specific changes in the competition itself included extending extra rounds ( such as the Las Vegas show ) and a final solo round , while also returning the judges ' wild card choice . The show additionally lowered the age of eligibility to 15 years . More contestants made it to Hollywood in season 10 than in previous seasons . On May 25 , 2011 , after 122.4 million votes were cast for the finale ( and nearly 750 million votes for the seasonal total ) , Scotty McCreery was crowned the winner of the tenth season of American Idol , making him the youngest male winner at 17 years and seven months old , and the second youngest winner ever behind season 6 winner Jordin Sparks .

Ellen DeGeneres officially announced her departure on July 29 , 2010 , after judging for only one season , because she felt the show was not the `` right fit '' for her . Kara DioGuardi then announced on September 3 , 2010 , that she would also not return this season . On September 22 , 2010 , it was announced that Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler would join the judging panel . There were a number of other major changes in season ten , from the judges to the format of the show itself including the opening intro , which used the `` Hall of Idols '' . Nigel Lythgoe returned as the executive producer , and Ray Chew has been hired as the show 's new musical director , replacing Rickey Minor , who left the show along with vocal coach Dorian Holley to become the musical director of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno . Peisha McPhee , mother of season 5 's runner - up Katharine McPhee , joined as one of the vocal coaches . In this season , online voting was also offered for the first time for fans with Facebook accounts ; up to 50 votes may be cast . The Season 10 also saw a return to the process of singers singing two songs each on performance nights starting earlier in the season , and three songs each starting on Top 3 night . New rounds ( edit ) `` Theme weeks will also get a makeover . We 're not going to ask a country singer to sing an R&B song , or an R&B singer to do Led Zeppelin , ... If the theme is ' 80s or Rock and Roll Hall of Fame , every song will be customized to that contestant ... What 's most important , is that the song suit the finalist 's voice . '' -- Ron Fair Extra rounds were added in the Hollywood phase of the competition which would narrow the contestants down to sixty potential finalists . Those who made the final sixty were then taken to Las Vegas in an extra round where they were asked to sing songs from The Beatles , and then a further solo round in Los Angeles . It was originally planned that 20 contestants would be left by the end of the Hollywood rounds , however , 24 contestants were chosen instead for the semifinal , and they would perform in two groups of twelve in a semi-final sudden death round where ten finalists -- five girls and five boys -- would be voted in by the viewers . The judges were given three wild card picks , making a total of thirteen finalists . Nigel Lythgoe had previously suggested significant format changes that would replace the following semifinal , with contestants having `` to make the best music video , to promote themselves , and to work with a band and dancers for an awards show - style performance . '' However , the plans were shelved . Despite previous reports that Idol producers had axed the weekly music theme , the themes remained . Partnership with Universal Music ( edit ) At the end of the ninth season , Sony Music Entertainment 's affiliation to Idol also ended . The partnership was superseded by a new deal with Universal Music Group , meaning that the winner would now be signed to Interscope Records . Interscope 's sister labels , A&M Records and Geffen Records , would also be involved in promoting and distributing the albums of the show 's finalists . Chairman of the Interscope - Geffen - A&M label group , Jimmy Iovine , worked directly with contestants this season as the in - house mentor . Additionally , a team of Universal Music - associated producers and songwriters , such as Rodney `` Darkchild '' Jerkins , Timbaland and Alex da Kid , also worked alongside the contestants to help them take on original arrangement and material . Some suggested changes , such as allowing the finalists to release music while the season is still in progress rather than waiting to record an album , were not implemented , although music were released somewhat earlier than previous seasons . Regional auditions ( edit ) The judges were Steven Tyler , Jennifer Lopez , and Randy Jackson . This is the first season in which the contestant age minimum was reduced to 15 years old . The maximum age however still remained 28 .

In addition to the above cities , for the first time contestants were allowed to audition online via Myspace / Facebook / Twitter . To audition , they were required to upload a 40 - second audition clip of them singing a pre-approved song . The internet auditioners , including Karen Rodriguez , were called back to Los Angeles to audition in front of the judges . Hollywood Week ( edit ) The Hollywood week phase of the competition was held in the Pasadena Civic Center . There were a record - number 327 contestants in the first round , which lasted over two days , exceeding season 2 's record of 234 . The contestants emerged in groups of ten and each performed individually a cappella . After the whole group had finished their performances , those who failed were cut immediately . 168 advanced to the next round , where the contestants performed in groups ; out of the 168 , only 100 advanced to the next round . In the next round , the contestants performed solo , accompanied by a band or an instrument . The contestants were then separated into four rooms , with two of the four rooms containing eliminated contestants and the other two containing contestants who made it into the next round . Only 61 of the 100 remaining advanced . This year , due to the large number of contestants , two more rounds were added . The 61 remaining contestants proceeded to Las Vegas where they performed songs from The Beatles as duos and trios in the Love theatre at The Mirage for this newly added ' Las Vegas ' round . After that , 41 advanced to the final `` Sing For Your Life '' round back in Los Angeles . In that round , each contestant performed a song of their own choosing at Howard Hughes ' Spruce Goose aircraft hangar . The Top 24 were then selected from the remaining 41 for the semifinals .

Controversies ( edit ) Gender voting bias and elimination of Pia Toscano ( edit ) The first five contestants eliminated from the finals were all female contestants , and this early elimination of females led to criticism of bias against women . Idol producer Ken Warwick said , `` It 's no secret that most reality shows are female driven , either by moms or by young girls . It does mean we 're going to get a heftier amount of female votes and it 's always bent towards the boys , obviously , we are very much aware that the voting can be skewed towards the boys . '' The voting also provoked considerable criticism after the last of these five females , Pia Toscano , a presumed front - runner , was surprisingly eliminated in ninth place . In response to criticism , the producers considered tweaking the voting format for the next season . Judges critique ( edit ) Online critics from major news sources like Brian Mansfield of USA Today , Craig Berman of MSNBC , Dalton Ross of Entertainment Weekly , Andrea Reiher of Zap2it , and Tom Gliatto of People criticized the judges for being too nice , not being honest enough , offering hardly any constructive criticism towards the contestants , and for not giving any guidance and direction for the viewers / voters in terms of why they should or should not be voting for someone . Executive producer Ken Warwick responded to these criticisms and said , `` The truth of the matter is these kids are very good and I would n't influence the judges to say anything they do n't absolutely believe ... They are trying to keep things on the straight and narrow . What they feel are genuine feelings , that 's all I can ask them to do . '' Nigel Lythgoe , another executive producer , also responded to these criticisms on his Twitter and answered , `` IT IS NOT ABOUT THE JUDGES OPINION IT 'S ABOUT YOURS ! ! UR NOT SHEEP ! '' In October 2011 , however , judge Jennifer Lopez revealed that all three judges would be tougher on the contestants in season 11 . Lee DeWyze finale involvement ( edit ) Many fans of the ninth season winner , Lee DeWyze , were upset that he did not take part in the season ten finale like he was rumored to . Executive producer Nigel Lythgoe responded on his Twitter that he asked DeWyze to take part in the finale , but he declined , `` I was so upset Lee DeWyze would n't present the winners trophy to Scotty , '' he wrote . `` Especially as he 'd been on the show this Season . I guess he was shy . '' However , DeWyze said that he was actually not asked to take part in the finale , `` Just for the record ... I was not asked to be involved in the Finale . It was n't until about 2 minutes before they announced that Nigel had approached me and asked if he could `` borrow '' me for a second . I did n't feel a last second jump on stage was appropriate . It was Scotty 's moment . I appreciate American Idol , and the opportunity it has given me . And the people who have made that show possible . I am not angry , or bitter etc . It was an amazing Finale , and I would have loved to be a part of it . I just was n't asked . '' DeWyze was seen in the audience towards the end of the show .

The character first appeared in Captain America # 117 ( Sept. 1969 ) . Created by writer - editor Stan Lee and artist Gene Colan , he came about , Colan recalled in 2008 , ... in the late 1960s ( when news of the ) Vietnam War and civil rights protests were regular occurrences , and Stan , always wanting to be at the forefront of things , started bringing these headlines into the comics ... One of the biggest steps we took in this direction came in Captain America . I enjoyed drawing people of every kind . I drew as many different types of people as I could into the scenes I illustrated , and I loved drawing black people . I always found their features interesting and so much of their strength , spirit and wisdom written on their faces . I approached Stan , as I remember , with the idea of introducing an African - American hero and he took to it right away ... I looked at several African - American magazines , and used them as the basis of inspiration for bringing The Falcon to life . He was introduced as an unnamed former resident of New York City 's Harlem neighborhood , who had adopted a wild falcon he trained and named Redwing . ( His own name , Sam Wilson , was not given until page five of the following issue . ) When a group of men on an island `` in the tropics '' wanted a hunting falcon , Wilson answered the ad , only to discover that the self - dubbed `` Exiles '' were former Nazis in league with the supervillain the Red Skull . He escaped , but remained on the island to organize the natives to confront the Exiles , who had turned them into serfs . At the urging of Steve Rogers , whom he later learned was Captain America , Wilson took on the costumed identity of the Falcon and underwent training with Rogers in order to better inspire the villagers and lead the fight . Through most of the 1970s , the Falcon and Captain America were a team in New York City , and the series was cover - billed Captain America and the Falcon from issues # 134 -- 192 and 194 -- 222 ( February 1971 -- June 1978 ) , though still copyrighted as Captain America . In issue # 186 ( June 1975 ) , writer Steve Englehart retconned aspects of the Falcon 's past . Originally depicted as a former social worker , motivated by a desire to better the lives of inner - city youth , the Falcon was revealed as a mob - connected thug whose memories were altered by the reality - warping Cosmic Cube . The Falcon briefly joined the superhero team the Defenders , appearing in issues # 62 -- 64 ( August -- October 1978 ) , and was a member of the Avengers from issues # 183 -- 194 ( May 1979 -- April 1980 ) . During this time he also starred in a solo adventure in issue # 49 of the try - out series Marvel Premiere ; however , the story was not a try - out for a Falcon series , but an intended fill - in issue of Captain America which was shuffled into Marvel Premiere when the editors objected to having an issue of Captain America with someone other than the title character as the star . He starred in his own four - issue miniseries in 1983 , written by Jim Owsley . Its first issue was illustrated by Paul Smith with the final three issues by Mark Bright . The series revealed that the Falcon was a mutant , although this development was later retconned in the Avengers 2001 Annual . After regularly appearing in Captain America vol. 2 ( November 1996 -- November 1997 ) , the Falcon rejoined the Avengers in The Avengers vol. 3 , # 1 ( February 1998 ) . This time , he remained with the team , becoming one of its most prominent members by issue # 57 ( Oct. 2002 ) . Concurrently , he was also a supporting character in Captain America vols. 3 -- 4 ( January 1998 -- February 2002 and June 2002 -- December 2004 ) . The Falcon next appeared in the short - lived Captain America and the Falcon series , in 2004 and 2005 . After the events of the storyline `` Avengers Disassembled '' , when the Scarlet Witch temporarily restored his criminal personality , the Falcon became a supporting character in Captain America vol. 5 ( January 2005 -- July 2009 ) . The Falcon continued to play a significant role in the series after it returned to its original numbering , beginning with Captain America # 600 ( Aug. 2009 ) . Falcon was a member of the Avengers in the 2012 Marvel NOW ! relaunch . On July 16 , 2014 Marvel Comics announced that Sam Wilson would relinquish the mantle of Falcon and would become the new Captain America , succeeding Steve Rogers in the role . An ongoing series starring Sam Wilson as Captain America launched in October 2015 , as part of Marvel 's post-Secret Wars relaunch , written by Nick Spencer and Daniel Acuña . Wilson temporarily returns to the role of Captain America in the 2017 miniseries Marvel 's Generations . Wilson resumed the identity of Falcon in a series written by Rodney Barnes that debuted in late 2017 , the character 's first solo series since 1983 . Fictional character biography ( edit ) Early life ( edit ) Samuel Thomas Wilson was born in Harlem , New York City , to Paul Wilson , a prominent minister , and Darlene Wilson . Wilson has a happy childhood and finds he has a natural affinity for birds . He takes up training pigeons , and has the largest pigeon coop in Harlem . In his teens , however , encounters with racism leave him jaded . When he is 16 , Wilson refuses to join the church , believing his deeply religious parents to be ignorant for their faith . To his surprise , rather than put up a fight , his parents provide him with books on different religions and comparative theology . The next night , however , Sam 's father is killed trying to break up a neighborhood fight ( originally Paul was said to have been killed when Sam was 9 years old ) . Two years later , his mother is shot and killed by a mugger one block from their apartment . Consumed by grief and `` angry at the world '' Sam turns his back on his past as a respected community volunteer . He moves to Los Angeles and creates a new persona : `` Snap '' Wilson , a professional criminal and gang member . While Snap is on his way to `` a big score in Rio de Janeiro '' , his plane crashes on Exile Island ( years later , he would say `` I actually loved this place quite a bit . It 's where I met my two best friends , '' referring to Captain America and Redwing ) . The once - peaceful island had been taken over by the Exiles , a group of would - be world conquerors who had collaborated with the Nazi supervillain the Red Skull during World War II . They had been betrayed by the Red Skull and were forced to remain in hiding on the island , enslaving the natives . Wilson finds and befriends Redwing , a falcon with which he feels a remarkably strong bond . Becoming the Falcon ( edit ) As part of a plot against Captain America , the Red Skull uses the Cosmic Cube , a creation that allows its user to alter reality , to mentally fuse Wilson with Redwing , creating a `` super-normal mental link '' that would , with time and concentration , give Wilson broad powers over all birds . Next , the Skull uses the Cube to rewrite the past and erase the years Wilson had spent angrily living as Snap Wilson . In this new history , Wilson was an upright and cheerful social worker who is eventually lured to the Exiles ' island and organizes the natives to fight for their freedom . Steve Rogers ( Captain America ) befriends him there and convinces Wilson to adopt a persona to inspire the natives in their rebellion . The two create the costumed persona the Falcon and train together extensively before attacking and defeating the Exiles and the Red Skull . The Falcon becomes Captain America 's regular partner in crime - fighting , and briefly even takes on the Captain America costume and identity when Rogers is believed to have been killed . Later , again as the Falcon , Wilson receives help from the Black Panther , who creates a harness for Wilson , allowing him to fly . When Rogers briefly abandons his Captain America identity , others attempt to take up the mantle , including a young man named Roscoe whom the Falcon mentors . When the Red Skull eventually kills Roscoe , Rogers again becomes Captain America . Soon afterward , the Red Skull reveals the Falcon 's true past as Snap Wilson , and unsuccessfully attempts to use the Cosmic Cube to make the Falcon kill Captain America . Now aware of his past but deciding to continue as a hero , the Falcon is eventually named head of the Super Agents at the espionage agency S.H.I.E.L.D. . US government superhero liaison Henry Peter Gyrich then recruits Wilson , one of the few active black superheroes , to fill a mandated racial quota for the venerable team the Avengers . Resentful of being a `` token '' , the Falcon quits at the first opportunity . He debuts a new costume when he fights the supervillain Taskmaster . 2000s ( edit ) Falcon becomes a member of the new team of Avengers assembled to fight the international menace Scorpio as a United Nations peacekeeping agency . By this point , Falcon had discovered that he could extend his telepathic bond with Redwing , allowing him to control other birds and `` see '' through their eyes . He uses this ability to spy on Henry Gyrich ( now the Avengers ' liaison with the United Nations ) and discovers that the United States ' Secretary of Defense , Dell Rusk , has been pressuring Gyrich to spy on the Avengers and turn over their secrets . Although initially hostile to one another , Falcon convinces Gyrich to help the Avengers spy on Rusk , feeding him false information while gathering evidence to expose him . They discover that Rusk is actually the Red Skull , who has launched a biological weapon attack on America , intending to use the ensuing panic to gain control over America 's government and start a war with other countries . Falcon is instrumental in defeating the Red Skull . It is around this period of time that , a new `` Captain America '' secretly created by the Office of Naval Intelligence ( O.N.I. ) goes rogue and begins eliminating anything and anyone he sees as a source of terrorism . To draw out this agent ( dubbed `` The Anti-Cap '' ) , O.N.I. leaks information about their involvement in a biological weapons project with the notorious Rivas Family , powerful Cuban drug lords . Reporter and social activist Leila Taylor investigates this rumor and attempts to smuggle a sample of the virus into America , but she is arrested by U.S. forces in Cuba . Falcon , who is a friend of Taylor , breaks her out of prison and investigates her claims , destroying the Rivas Family 's biological weapons lab and obtaining a sample of the mysterious virus they were developing for O.N.I. Falcon is able to fly Leila back to America ( although his flying harness is destroyed in a hurricane ) while Captain America follows Falcon 's directions and retrieves the virus sample . The Anti-Cap kills the head of the Rivas family , and pursues Leila , Falcon , and Cap , intent on obtaining the virus sample . After reuniting , Falcon and Captain America are able to barely defeat the Anti-Cap . Realizing that O.N.I. 's goal was to draw out their rogue agent to execute him , Captain America arranges to have the Anti-Cap secretly imprisoned in the Wakandan embassy until O.N.I. agrees not to kill him . Since Captain America and Falcon now possess both O.N.I. 's rogue agent and the last remaining sample of O.N.I. 's virus , O.N.I. begins to put increasing amounts of pressure on the heroes . Falcon is especially targeted -- he had broken Leila out of Federal Custody , and his criminal history makes it easier for O.N.I. to create further false charges against him . Falcon soon finds himself on the run from O.N.I. Meanwhile , the superheroine the Scarlet Witch , having gone insane , begins using her powers to re-create many of the Avengers ' greatest trials and tragedies . She destabilizes the Falcon 's mind , causing him to act increasingly like his `` Snap '' persona . He begins carrying a gun , keeps secrets from his friends , assaults Leila 's boyfriend Norman when he protests they go into hiding , and uses a high power rifle to shoot at his friend Robbie Robertson ( to fool Robbie into thinking O.N.I. was threatening to kill him ) . Although they succeed in exposing the illegal activities of O.N.I. and clear Wilson 's name , Sam 's methods cause his relationship with Captain America to become strained . Cap confronts Falcon about his recent actions , and Falcon , angered at what he sees as an ultimatum , terminates their partnership . As they are walking away , Norman ( who blames Falcon for the end of his relationship with Leila ) appears and shoots at Falcon . Captain America is seriously injured by the stray bullets , and even appears to die . The shock of watching his best friend seemingly die because of his actions has a powerful affect on Sam , who briefly gives up being Falcon and reexamines his life . Sam Wilson reappears as Falcon in the 2005 `` House of M '' storyline and in the 2006 -- 07 `` Civil War '' storyline . In the latter , he supports Captain America against the Superhuman Registration Act . When the Captain becomes incapacitated , Falcon temporarily assumes leadership of the `` Secret Avengers '' rebel group . Following Captain America 's assassination by the machinations of the Red Skull , the Falcon registers with the government and is made responsible for Harlem , although he continues to maintain contact with the underground New Avengers . He is also called upon to investigate the Captain 's assassination by locating Winter Soldier and tracking down the Red Skull . Becoming Captain America ( edit ) Wilson as Captain America on the cover of All - New Captain America # 1 ( November 2014 ) . Art by Stuart Immonen . Wilson appears in the 2010 `` Shadowland '' storyline as Falcon , after which he becomes an operative in the new incarnation of the Heroes for Hire team , in the book of the same name . He later appears in the 2012 `` Avengers vs. X-Men '' storyline , helping She - Hulk and several other Avengers contain the students at the Jean Grey School for Higher Learning . As part of the 2012 - 2015 Marvel NOW ! relaunch , Wilson rejoins the Avengers after Iron Man and Captain America choose to expand the team 's line - up . After Rogers is aged into an old man , he appoints Wilson as his ' official ' replacement as Captain America . During a confrontation with the Red Skull 's daughter Sin , it is revealed that the `` Snap '' identity was a fake memory implanted into Sam by the Red Skull in an attempt to discredit the hero through racism . As part of the 2015 All - New , All - Different Marvel initiative , Captain America investigated the disappearance of Mexican teenager Joaquin Torres after he was abducted by the Sons of the Serpent . After fighting Armadillo and capturing the leader of the hate group , Captain America discovered that Joaquin was being used in the experiments of Karl Malus who turned Joaquin into a bird / human hybrid using Captain America 's pet bird Redwing . When Karl Malus was defeated , Captain America took Joaquin in . When it was discovered Joaquin 's bird / human hybrid condition was n't temporary , Captain America learned from Claire Temple that Joaquin 's condition was permanent due to Redwing being vampiric and sporting a healing factor . When Captain America was captured by the Serpent Society and thrown out the window by Viper , he was saved by Joaquin . Using his link with Redwing , Captain America telepathically sent Joaquin the knowledge on how to fight where he held his own until Misty Knight and Demolition Man showed up . After the Serpent Society was defeated , Captain America allowed Joaquin to become his sidekick , enabling him to become the new Falcon . During the 2016 `` Avengers : Standoff ! '' storyline , Sam , after defeating the Green Skull , is contacted by Whisperer ( an alias of Rick Jones ) . After meeting Whisperer , he learns that S.H.I.E.L.D. never discarded the Kobik project as he thought they did . He meets with Steve Rogers , where they follow a lead to a town in Connecticut and are later picked up by S.H.I.E.L.D. agents . He then meets the Winter Soldier and rescue S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Avril Kincaid from the Blood Brothers , who informs them of a super-weapon hidden in the town that Baron Zemo and the other villains are looking for . They then head to the bowling alley where Kobik uses her powers to restore Steve Rogers to his prime when he was about to be killed by Crossbones . They begin looking for Kobik again only to discover that Baron Zemo had Fixer invent a device that would help find Kobik as Kraven the Hunter rallies the villains to help with their goals . Upon not being able to successfully locate Kobik , Steve Rogers decides to rally the heroes so that they can take the fight to Baron Zemo . In the aftermath of the incident , Steve and Sam plan to keep what happened at Pleasant Hill under wraps at the time being . After the `` Standoff ! '' storyline , Sam begins to face public pressure to return the shield and mantle of Captain America to Steve , as does Maria Hill for the consequences of her actions on Pleasant Hill . He and Steve then begin to secretly plan for a way to get Hill to face her crimes publicly . During a press conference , Sam encounters the mercenary Chance who was about to kill Steve in the middle of his speech . After defeating him , Sam receives a hero 's welcome when Steve announces him to the public as Captain America . While getting arrested , Chance tells Sam that he was on Pleasant Hill and that he did n't agree with the heroes ' actions . During the 2016 `` Civil War II '' storyline , Captain America attend War Machine 's funeral , where he delivers an inspirational speech . Months later , Wilson watches a TV broadcast about former New Warrior Rage engaging in a fight with the Americops , a private police force funded by Keane Industries , in Brooklyn . Intending to stop the fight , Wilson , along with Redwing and Falcon , try to contain the situation . Sam manages to stop the fight , although not without fighting the Americops , for which he knew the media would portray him negatively . As he leaves , he is attacked from behind by U.S. Agent . After a brief argument , Captain America and U.S. Agent begin to fight , with U.S. Agent gaining the upper hand , until Sam drags him into a tunnel where the darkness and the great horned owls that reside in it allow him to win the fight . After defeating U.S. Agent and receiving an argument from Rage , Wilson returns to his headquarters where he decides to put a tiny implant in his brain that will enhance his ability to see what birds see , enabling him to transmit them into a data storage facility that converts them into images and videos . He decides to further investigate the Americops to find proof of their violent activities . While accompanying Steve Rogers on a mission to stop Flag - Smasher 's latest assault , Wilson fails to save a senator from being shot by the villain , further compromising his current public image . This is subsequently revealed to have been deliberately staged by Rogers who has been converted to believe he is a Hydra sleeper agent since childhood . Using his greater familiarity with the shield , Rogers deliberately put Wilson in a position where he would be unable to use the shield to save the senator , with the final goal of demoralizing Sam to the point where he will return the shield to Rogers of his own free will ( not wanting to kill Wilson and risk creating a martyr ) . After discovering that Rage was arrested and accused of robbing a pawn shop which Man Mountain Marko and Speed Demon committed , Sam offers him professional help from other heroes , but Rage turns it down , preferring that he should be the one to prove his innocence . After consulting with his brother and Rogers , Sam posts a video on the internet showing footage of the Americops beating up Rage , exposing their violent activities . During Rage 's trial , a frustrated Sam leaves the courtroom and captures Speed Demon , who confesses to his and Man Mountain Marko 's involvement in the pawn shop robbery . Upon returning to the court , Misty tells Sam that the verdict was already given . While people protest over Rage 's arrest , Sam tries his best to calm them . Sam leaves a letter which explains he is ending his role as Captain America and returning the shield to Steve Rogers During the 2017 `` Secret Empire '' storyline , Sam has spent time alone in a desert and returns to the city where he discovers Hydra 's takeover and that Steve Rogers is their leader . Sam rescues a woman and her Inhuman daughter from Hydra enforcers , Sam reluctantly helps them to safety . He reunites with Misty Knight and Demolition Man and helps smuggle other Inhumans out of the country . He helps Ant - Man smuggle his daughter Cassandra Lang then declines their offer to join the underground resistance . When Hawkeye and the Tony Stark A.I. reveal that Kobik was responsible for Steve 's change , Sam agrees to help smuggle them out of the country so they can find the Cosmic Cube 's fragments . Sam takes the group through an abandoned subway tunnel where they encounter Mole Man , with whom Sam strikes a deal when they are attacked by Dreadnoughts sent by Hydra . After crossing the tunnel , the group departs in a jet plane . They arrive in a mansion where Ultron resides , since he is in possession of the shard . They encounter Steve Rogers and his Avengers until Ultron captures them . After a brief battle , Ultron allows them to leave and gives the shard to Tony 's team . Steve muses that he is unconcerned about who will acquire the fragments as he has an inside man in the Tony Stark A.I. 's team . After a series of dead ends , the team returns to the hideout , where Sam reunites with Misty , until Hydra forces arrive and begin their assault on the base . During the battle , Sam helps the other heroes in protecting the refugees and battling Hydra 's Avengers and a revived Bruce Banner as the Hulk until the base explodes . In the aftermath of the attack , Sam appears standing on top of the rubble as Captain America to inspire the resistance to not surrender . It is later revealed that Sam had a conversation with Misty Knight and Rayshaun Lucas , the new Patriot , which has persuaded him to reassume the role of Captain America , leading the resistance and wielding Rogers ' original round shield as a symbol of hope . Sam uses the Cosmic Cube fragment acquired by the resistance to help destroy the Darforce dome surrounding Manhattan and the planetary defense shield , releasing all the trapped heroes . Liberating all the imprisoned Inhumans , the Underground attacks the Capitol which attracts the attention of Steve Rogers , who arrives wearing Cosmic Cube - powered armor . During the final battle , Sam fakes surrender and gives the fragment to Steve , only for Winter Soldier to intervene and bring Kobik and the real Steve Rogers back . The restored Steve Rogers manages to defeat the Hydra Steve Rogers with Thor 's hammer and Kobik restores reality back to normal . Return as Falcon ( edit ) Upon taking the second Patriot on as his sidekick , they travel to Chicago to deal with an outbreak of gang violence , unaware that Blackheart is posing as the city 's Mayor . Powers , abilities , and equipment ( edit ) Powers ( edit ) In his earliest appearances , Wilson exhibits a close bond with his bird Redwing , which is confirmed as being a telepathic link by Professor X in Captain America # 174 . The Red Skull later reveals that he had used the Cosmic Cube to create a `` super-normal mental link '' between Sam Wilson and Redwing . Falcon later recalled the experience , stating `` Hurt like hell . Being mentally fused with that falcon . Able to see through his eyes . '' Wilson eventually revealed that he has been able to extend this empathic link . `` I 'm always psychically connected with Redwing , but through concentration , I 've recently tapped into another ability -- I 'm able to link - up with other birds ... I have over six billion pairs of eyes in the United States alone . '' He used this ability to quickly search New York City when the criminal Scarecrow kidnapped two children , as well as to spy on Senator Dell Rusk ( actually the Red Skull in disguise ) and Henry Peter Gyrich . He is also apparently able to access the memories of birds , and see things they had witnessed in the past ( although birds have a different concept of the passage of time , which makes it difficult for him to know when any events they witnessed occurred ) . Abilities ( edit ) Wilson is a skilled hand - to - hand combatant , having been trained in Judo and Karate by Steve Rogers . Wilson is also highly - skilled in the use of Captain America 's shield . Uniform and flight harness ( edit ) Wilson 's original Falcon wing harness featured detachable jet - powered glider wings made of lightweight titanium ribbing and Mylar . The wings were covered with wafer - thin solar power receptors that convert sunlight into electricity to power miniature high - speed electric turbine fans in his uniform and boots . The wings detached and reattached to his uniform cybernetically . The harness was destroyed in Captain America and the Falcon # 2 ( 2004 ) . The uniform was made of synthetic stretch fabric lined with a steel - alloy mesh . After the original flying harness 's destruction in a 2004 storyline , the Black Panther supplied Falcon with a new costume and wings . An emitter array on Falcon 's back creates holographic `` hard light '' wings with a maximum wingspan of up to 50 feet ( 15 m ) . Controlled by a cybernetic link , the wings can be instantly reconfigured into `` dozens of different cruise configurations '' . A `` magnetic drive '' , in turn , provides the thrust needed to get Falcon airborne . The emitter also possesses GPS jamming devices that prevent satellite tracking , while the hard - light wings interfere with infra - red tracking . A vibranium microweave was added to the costume itself , making Falcon resistant to small arms fire . The entire system is controlled mentally through cybernetic circuitry in the Falcon 's mask . The costume has in the past featured a hidden `` talon , '' a cybernetically controlled grappling line built into the gauntlets of his costume which he uses to entangle opponents , hook objects , or for swinging and climbing when his wings are detached . The costume 's visors come equipped with various capabilities , including infrared lenses , giving him the ability to see objects by their infrared signature at night , magnification capabilities , and remote imaging sensors that allow a full 360 degree of vision when activated . The cowl also has a wide band receiver and transmitter with an unspecified range . The suit was originally built by the Black Panther , with costume modifications by Desmond Burrell . Other characters named Falcon ( edit ) Joaquin Torres ( edit ) As part of the 2015 All - New , All - Different Marvel branding , Captain America ( Sam Wilson ) investigated the disappearance of Mexican teenager Joaquin Torres after he was abducted by the Sons of the Serpent . Captain America discovered that Joaquin was being used in the experiments of Karl Malus who turned Joaquin into a bird / human hybrid using Captain America 's pet bird Redwing . When Karl Malus was defeated , Captain America took Joaquin in . When it was discovered Joaquin 's bird / human hybrid condition was n't temporary , Captain America learned from Claire Temple that Joaquin 's condition was permanent due to Redwing being vampiric and sporting a healing factor . When Captain America was captured by the Serpent Society and thrown out the window by Viper , he was saved by Joaquin . Using his link with Redwing , Captain America telepathically sent Joaquin the knowledge on how to fight where he held his own until Misty Knight and Demolition Man showed up . After the Serpent Society was defeated , Captain America allowed Joaquin to become his sidekick , enabling him to become the new Falcon . During the `` Secret Empire '' storyline , Falcon II and Ironheart join the Champions when they join up with the Underground. > Adrian Toomes ( edit ) Main article : Vulture ( Marvel Comics ) In a 2017 storyline , Adrian Toomes developed a modified version of his Electromagnetic Wing Harness that has a reinforced helmet and lightweight , razor - sharp , nano - woven wings which responded to his mental commands where he took on the name Falcon where he believed the name to be vacant at the time . He robbed a location in East Village where he fought Spider - Man until they were immobilized by a new Trapster who made off with Falcon 's loot . Carl burgess ( edit ) A similar , unrelated character of the same name and powers was created in 1939 by writer - artist Bill Everett for Marvel Comics ' predecessor company , Timely Comics . Other versions ( edit ) In the alternate reality of a 1983 What If ? story , Sam - under his gang name `` Snap '' - is a member of a secret rebellion force in a United States turned fascist who aids Captain America in beating an impostor and leading the chastised nation back to its democratic roots . Sam Wilson / Falcon appears as one of the zombified heroes in the Marvel Zombies universe . Initially , he is among the many heroes summoned by Nick Fury to fight off the infection , but he winds up being infected . Afterwards , in Marvel Zombies 3 , he , along with other wing - laden characters ( Angel , Beak and Vulture ) , attack Machine Man , Ultron and Jocasta as soon as they arrive in this ravaged universe , but he and the others are quickly killed by Machine Man . In Amazing Spider - Girl # 7 , which is part of the MC2 universe , Wilson was revealed to be dead . However , the Ladyhawk twins wear attire similar to his first costume , from before he had the mantle of either Falcon or Captain America . In the `` Once and Future King '' story arc from Black Panther , a retired Sam Wilson is shown as the mayor of New York City 25 years into the future . He comes out of retirement for one final mission to help Black Panther defeat T'charra , T'Chaka's treasonous son . The Ultimate Marvel version of Falcon on the cover of Ultimate Comics : The Ultimates # 7 ( April 2012 ) . Art by Kaare Andrews . In the Ultimate Marvel universe , Samuel Wilson is an explorer , adventurer , and scientist who uses a backpack with high - tech folding wings to fly as the Eagle . Wilson first appeared in Ultimate Nightmare and then worked on the Vision , demonstrating a high level of technological understanding and confronted George Tarleton of A.I.M. aboard a space station studying a Gah Lak Tus module . He is an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. rather than an official member of the Ultimates or Reserves . He has served with or under General Nick Fury , and was a member of the armed forces but retired to pursue scientific interests . This version appears to be an accomplished combatant , especially when using the sharp edge of the metal wings he wears as a weapon , which are controlled through the help of nanotechnology , with which he can communicate and retrieve computer information . The wings are partially self - repairing , as referenced in Ultimate Extinction . In Marvel 's MAX imprint series U.S. War Machine , Wilson appeared alongside Captain America and Hawkeye ; he and Hawkeye served as Captain America 's backup and wore no costumes , only being addressed by their real names . In this reality , Captain America was actually Bucky wearing the Captain 's uniform as here the Captain had died in World War II in his stead . In the 2006 comic What If Captain America had fought in the Civil War ? , the Earth - 717 version of Wilson was an orphan raised by a Shawnee medicine man , and grew up to fight in the American Civil War as part of an Indian volunteer regiment . He performs a ritual to give Steven Rogers the power of We - Pi - Ahk , the Eagle Spirit , and has a red eagle painted on his chest for this ceremony . He is killed by Colonel Barnes ( who in this reality is the White Skull ) . In the `` Heroes Reborn '' universe , created by Franklin Richards , a version of Samuel Wilson appears . His father , Abraham `` Abe '' Wilson fought alongside Captain America during World War II , but is later killed by Master Man 's army . During the fight , Abe 's son Sam Wilson is shot in a fight and gravely wounded , but Captain America saves his life by giving him a transfusion of the Super-Soldier's own blood . Consequently , Wilson gains superhuman abilities comparable to those of Captain America . His military nickname , `` The Falcon '' , becomes his superhero code name , avenges his father by beating Master Man , and along with Captain America , and Nick Fury defeat the Red Skull 's plans for world domination . In an alternate timeline seen in Avengers : The Children 's Crusade , Sam was succeeded as the Falcon by his daughter Samantha . Samantha is shown as a member of the Avengers alongside her husband Eli ( the new Captain America ) , and their son Steve ( the new Bucky ) . In Daredevil : End of Days , Wilson is briefly shown as the future president of the United States of America . During the Secret Wars storyline , an alternate , naturally - winged version of Sam Wilson is a member of the Thor Corps ( which are the police force of Battleworld ) . He and the Thor Corps members arrest Miss America after she violates Doom 's laws by throwing a Megalodon that attacked Arcadia far enough to go over the Shield and end up in the Deadlands . A female version of Sam Wilson ( Samantha T. Wilson ) serves as the original Captain America of the Spider - Gwen universe of Earth - 65 . When World War II struck , she became one of the first black female pilots in the U.S. military . Eventually , she was recruited into Project Rebirth , and was chosen to undergo the procedure when the other candidates Bucky , Steve Rogers , and Isaiah Bradley were badly injured by Nazi agents . After this , she became Captain America , and fought the Nazis . When the Nazis attempted to summon creatures from another dimension , she entered said dimension to hold off the invading forces , un-aging in this reality for nearly 75 years . When she finally defeated them and returned to her home dimension of Earth - 65 , she was recruited by S.H.I.E.L.D. director Peggy Carter to continue her service as Captain America as one of her agents . Another version of Sam Wilson appears in the Spider - Gwen universe of Earth - 65 . He is the male clone of Samantha Wilson and is also this universe 's Falcon where he works as Captain America 's sidekick . Falcon is known as Sam 13 and is an expert sniper - assassin . He is aided by Redwing ( who in this reality is a robotic falcon ) where Sam 13 used him for assault and reconnaissance .

When the Avengers brought together to save Captain America from the Red Skull , Sam was originally offered the War Machine armor , but turned it down in favor of the Falcon armor . Wilson later dons a new version of his Falcon armor where there is a beak - shaped visor over his eyes . The wing pack is capable of detaching itself from the rest of the armor to become `` Redwing Mode '' and fly by itself to the point where it can whip up tornadoes . In the fourth season , Falcon is kidnapped by Kang the Conqueror and spends years in the future working with him to stop a black hole from destroying the Earth .

Contents ( hide ) 1 Early life 2 Career 2.1 Early work 2.2 2008 -- 2012 2.3 2013 -- present 2.4 Screenplays 3 Personal life 4 Filmography 4.1 Film 4.2 Television 5 Awards and nominations 5.1 Film 5.2 Television 6 References 7 External links Early life ( edit ) Hunnam was born in Newcastle upon Tyne , England , the son of William `` Billy '' Hunnam ( 1952 -- 2013 ) , a scrap metal merchant , and Jane ( née Bell ) Hunnam , a business owner . He lived in Australia from the age of 5 to 13 before moving back to the United Kingdom . His maternal grandmother was a portrait artist in Newcastle . Hunnam was the second child , born after brother William `` Billy '' . He has two younger half - brothers , Oliver and Christian , on his mother 's side . His parents divorced when he was two years old , and he moved to the village of Melmerby , Cumbria when he was 12 , as his mother remarried . He went to Heaton Manor School in Newcastle . After moving , he went to Ullswater Community College then Queen Elizabeth Grammar School in Penrith , Cumbria . He attended Cumbria College of Art and Design , now faculty of University of Cumbria , where he graduated with a degree in the theory and history of film with a side in performing arts . Career ( edit ) Early work ( edit ) At the age of 17 , Hunnam was discovered in a shoe shop on Christmas Eve while drunkenly clowning around buying shoes for his brother . A production manager for the Newcastle - based children 's show Byker Grove approached him and Hunnam was later cast in his first role as Jason in three episodes of the show . He also had a brief modeling career where he did a shoot for Kangols Caps and then decided modeling was not for him . Aged 18 , his first major role came when he was cast by Russell T Davies as 15 - year - old schoolboy Nathan Maloney in Davies ' Channel 4 drama Queer as Folk . He followed this up with his role as Daz in the film Whatever Happened to Harold Smith ? ( 1999 ) and then moved to the US . His career expanded to include a recurring role as Gregor Ryder in the WB series Young Americans . He then appeared in the short - lived Fox series Undeclared as an English drama student called Lloyd Haythe . Despite critical acclaim , the series was cancelled after one season . Hunnam then appeared on the large screen in Abandon ( 2002 ) , Nicholas Nickleby ( 2002 ) , and Cold Mountain ( 2003 ) . Hunnam has stated that he does not wish to simply take any role that he is offered : `` I have 60 years to make the money , but the choices I make in the next five years are really going to define my career . '' This decision resulted in his return to the UK to take the lead role of Pete Dunham in the film Green Street hooligan ( 2005 ) , however his attempts at delivering a Cockney accent resulted in his inclusion in many critics ' `` worst accents in movie history '' lists . Hunnam says his role Patric , a member of `` The Fishes '' , in Children of Men ( 2006 ) , was the final part in his `` trilogy of mad men '' . `` I played the psycho in Cold Mountain , my character in Green Street hooligan is fairly psychotic and now I 've got this role . '' 2008 -- 2012 ( edit ) Hunnam at the San Diego Comic Con , 25 July 2010 From 2008 to 2014 , Hunnam starred as Jackson `` Jax '' Teller in Sons of Anarchy , a show about a prominent motorcycle club in a small fictional California town . Hunnam was cast after Kurt Sutter , the creator of the show , saw him in Green Street . His portrayal as Jax Teller has led Hunnam to receive a Critics ' Choice Television Award nomination , three EWwy Award nominations for Best Lead Actor in a Drama series , and a PAAFTJ Award nomination for Best Cast in a Drama Series . In 2011 , Hunnam played the role of Gavin Nichols in the philosophical drama / thriller The Ledge by Matthew Chapman . In 2012 , he starred as the title character in the indie comedy 3 , 2 , 1 ... Frankie Go Boom alongside , among others , his Sons of Anarchy co-star Ron Perlman . Hunnam said that he considered the day that he filmed scenes with Perlman for that film the best and funniest day of filming he 's ever had in his whole career . He also appeared as Jay , an ex-boxer , in Stefan Ruzowitzky 's crime drama Deadfall ( 2012 ) . 2013 -- present ( edit ) Hunnam at the 2016 San Diego Comic Con International Hunnam starred as Raleigh Becket in Guillermo del Toro 's sci - fi film Pacific Rim , that opened in July 2013 and grossed $411 million worldwide . It was announced on 2 September 2013 that Hunnam would play the lead role of Christian Grey in the film adaptation of E.L. James ' novel Fifty Shades of Grey . However , on 12 October 2013 , Universal Pictures announced that Hunnam had withdrawn from the film due to conflicts with the schedule of his series Sons of Anarchy . On 2 June 2014 , Hunnam was awarded a Huading Award for Best Global Emerging Actor , for his role as Raleigh in Pacific Rim , due to the film performing very well in the Asian markets . Hunnam reunited with del Toro in the horror film Crimson Peak , alongside Mia Wasikowska , Tom Hiddleston , and Jessica Chastain . The film began shooting in February 2014 , and was released on 16 October 2015 . Hunnam starred as geographer Percy Fawcett in James Gray 's adventure drama The Lost City of Z , which was filmed from August 2015 to October 2015 , premiered at the New York Film Festival in 2016 , and was released in April 2017 . Hunnam also starred in Guy Ritchie 's action - adventure film King Arthur : Legend of the Sword , which was filmed between March 2015 and July 2015 , and was released in May 2017 . Hunnam in 2014 Screenplays ( edit ) Immediately prior to getting cast on Sons of Anarchy , he sold his screenplay Vlad to Summit Entertainment with Brad Pitt 's Plan B Studios co-producing . The film is being directed by music video director and photographer Anthony Mandler , and will focus on the real - life story of Vlad the Impaler . Hunnam learned the story from locals in Romania while shooting Cold Mountain . He stated that he had not acted in 18 months and was so broke that if he had not managed to sell the script he would have had to sell his house and move back to Britain to live with his mother . Hunnam is also developing a screenplay based on a 2011 Rolling Stone article that he optioned about Edgar Valdez Villareal , an American drug lord who ran one of the biggest cartels in Mexico . Another project he has in development is a film about gypsy culture in Britain , which he hopes to direct . He stated that it 's `` a part of English society that 's really seldom been explored , but is one of the most colourful and interesting parts of British society . '' Personal life ( edit ) In 1999 , Hunnam met actress Katharine Towne when they both auditioned for roles on Dawson 's Creek . After dating for three weeks , they married in Las Vegas . They divorced in 2002 . Hunnam has been dating artist Morgana McNelis since 2005 . Filmography ( edit ) Film ( edit ) Year Title Role Notes 1999 Whatever Happened to Harold Smith ?

He receives a call from his best friend Maxxie , who wishes him a happy birthday . Anwar invites Maxxie to his party . Maxxie declines , however , saying he will only go if Anwar tells his very strict Muslim parents that Maxxie is gay . Anwar declines and begins his day by being told off by his father for missing prayer , and having to put up with his annoying uncle from Sutton Coldfield . In the meantime , Tony sadly watches his sister Effy head off to her new school , local independent school with fellow pupils such as shallow , unstable Abigail Stock for company . Chris is put - out , too , when his girlfriend ( and psychology teacher ) , Angie 's fiancé , an Australian weatherman named Merve , turns up . Chris is furious at Angie for her infidelity , and something strikes him about Merve , but he ca n't quite put his finger on it . Sid attempts writing a love letter to Cassie , but gives up and decides instead to go see her at the hospital , leaving the love letter on his desk . Putting on the first clothes he could find , Sid marches to the private psychiatric hospital in mis - matched clothes with odd shoes and socks and tells the nurse he `` needs to speak to someone '' and that he has `` stuff going on '' , and finds himself detained against his will into a padded cell . Cassie , meanwhile , writes Sid a letter saying she is moving to Elgin that night and leaves the hospital with her bulimic friend . Michelle meets Effy and asks her why she does n't ever speak and why Tony hurt her . Later that day , Chris breaks into Angie 's house and is horrified to find countless photos of her and Merve , and an engagement ring . He pockets the ring , and watches a video of Merve doing the Australian weather forecast , assuming from Merve 's camp mannerisms that Merve is gay . Angie and Merve show up and Chris apologises for breaking into her house , but taunts Merve about his supposed hidden sexuality . Anwar 's uncle is DJing for the birthday party ; unimpressed with the tacky disco music , Anwar complains . His dad initially tells him his uncle should DJ because he has proper ear for music so that Anwar 's English friends do n't burn the place down , however , once out of earshot of Anwar 's mother , he confesses that Anwar 's uncle is an `` arsehole '' and notes grimly that while he 's DJing , he ca n't grope women . Anwar then expects to get the best birthday present ever as a friend of his sisters ' shows interest in him . He begins kissing her , but leaves to gossip to Maxxie , who is waiting outside . While begging Maxxie to come inside , Anwar 's dad comes outside and the two boys confess to Maxxie being gay . Anwar 's dad does n't seem to mind and invites Maxxie inside regardless . Tony and Effy rescue Sid from the hospital , bring clothes with them , and they take him to find Cassie , assuming she 'll be at Anwar 's birthday party . Sid arrives at the party at roughly the same time as Merve , who demands his ring back off Chris . Chris gives the ring to Angie , who gives it back to Merve , turning down his proposal , but also breaking up with Chris . A fight breaks out in the club between the English and the Australians . Tony finds Cassie outside and gives her Sid 's love letter . He then tries to call Michelle , who is crying in the bathroom .

Numbers indicate the number of electoral votes allotted to each state . <Td_colspan="2"> President before election John Adams Federalist Elected President Thomas Jefferson Democratic - Republican The United States presidential election of 1800 was the fourth United States presidential election . It was held from Friday , October 31 to Wednesday , December 3 , 1800 . In what is sometimes referred to as the `` Revolution of 1800 '' , Vice President Thomas Jefferson of the Democratic - Republican Party defeated incumbent President John Adams of the Federalist Party . The election was a realigning election that ushered in a generation of Democratic - Republican rule . Adams had narrowly defeated Jefferson in the 1796 election . Under the rules of the electoral system that were in place prior to the 1804 ratification of the 12th Amendment , each member of the Electoral College cast two votes , with no distinction made between electoral votes for president and electoral votes for vice president . As Jefferson received the second-most votes in 1796 , he was elected vice president . In 1800 , unlike in 1796 , both parties formally nominated tickets . The Democratic - Republicans nominated a ticket consisting of Jefferson and Aaron Burr , while the Federalists nominated a ticket consisting of Adams and Charles Pinckney . Each party formed a plan in which one of their respective electors would vote for a third candidate or abstain so that their preferred presidential candidate ( Adams for the Federalists and Jefferson for the Democratic - Republicans ) would win one more vote than the party 's other nominee . The chief political issues revolved around the fallout from the French Revolution and the Quasi-War . The Federalists favored a strong central government and close relations with Great Britain . The Democratic - Republicans favored decentralization to the state governments , and the party attacked the taxes imposed by the Federalists . The Democratic - Republicans also denounced the Alien and Sedition Acts , which the Federalists had passed to make it harder for immigrants to become citizens and to restrict statements critical of the federal government . While the Democratic - Republicans were well organized at the state and local levels , the Federalists were disorganized and suffered a bitter split between their two major leaders , President Adams and Alexander Hamilton . According to historian John Ferling , the jockeying for electoral votes , regional divisions , and the propaganda smear campaigns created by both parties made the election recognizably modern . At the end of a long and bitter campaign , Jefferson and Burr each won 73 electoral votes , Adams won 65 electoral votes , and Pinckney won 64 electoral votes . The Federalists swept New England , the Democratic - Republicans dominated the South , and the parties split the Mid-Atlantic states of New York , New Jersey , and Pennsylvania . The Democratic - Republicans ' failure to execute their plan to award Jefferson one more vote than Burr resulted in a tie , which necessitated a contingent election in the House of Representatives . Under the terms laid out in the Constitution , the outgoing House of Representatives chose between Jefferson and Burr . Each state delegation cast one vote , and a victory in the contingent election required one candidate to win a majority of the state delegations . Neither Burr nor Jefferson were able to win on the first 35 ballots of the contingent election , as most Federalist Congressmen backed Burr and all Democratic - Republican Congressmen backed Jefferson . Hamilton personally favored Jefferson over Burr , and he convinced several Federalists to switch their support to Jefferson , giving Jefferson a victory on the 36th ballot of the contingent election . The result of this election was affected by the three - fifths clause of the United States Constitution ; historians such as Garry Wills have noted that had slaves not been counted for the purposes of congressional apportionment , Adams would have won the electoral vote .

The Federalists nominated a ticket consisting of incumbent President John Adams of Massachusetts and Charles Cotesworth Pinckney of South Carolina . Pinckney had fought in the American Revolutionary War and later served as the minister to France . The Democratic - Republicans nominated a ticket consisting of Vice President Thomas Jefferson of Virginia and former Senator Aaron Burr of New York . Jefferson had been the runner - up in the previous election and had co-founded the party with James Madison and others , while Burr was popular in the electorally important state of New York . Vice President Thomas Jefferson from Virginia ( D-R ) Former U.S. Senator Aaron Burr from New York ( D-R ) President John Adams from Massachusetts ( Federalist ) Former Minister to France Charles C. Pinckney from South Carolina ( Federalist ) Campaign ( edit ) The 1800 election was a re-match of the 1796 election . The campaign was bitter and characterized by slander and personal attacks on both sides . Federalists spread rumours that the Democratic - Republicans were radicals who would ruin the country ( based on the Democratic - Republican support for the French Revolution ) . In 1798 , George Washington had complained `` that you could as soon scrub the blackamoor white , as to change the principles of a professed Democrat ; and that he will leave nothing unattempted to overturn the Government of this Country '' . Meanwhile , the Democratic - Republicans accused Federalists of subverting republican principles with the Alien and Sedition Acts , some of which were later declared unconstitutional after their expiration by the Supreme Court , and relying for their support on foreign immigrants ; they also accused Federalists of favoring Britain and the other coalition countries in their war with France in order to promote aristocratic , anti-democratic values . Adams was attacked by both the opposition Democratic - Republicans and a group of so - called `` High Federalists '' aligned with Alexander Hamilton . The Democratic - Republicans felt that the Adams foreign policy was too favorable toward Britain ; feared that the new army called up for the Quasi-War would oppress the people ; opposed new taxes to pay for war ; and attacked the Alien and Sedition Acts as violations of states ' rights and the Constitution . `` High Federalists '' considered Adams too moderate and would have preferred the leadership of Alexander Hamilton instead . Hamilton had apparently grown impatient with Adams and wanted a new president who was more receptive to his goals . During Washington 's presidency , Hamilton had been able to influence the federal response to the Whiskey Rebellion ( which threatened the government 's power to tax citizens ) . When Washington announced that he would not seek a third term , Adams was widely recognized by the Federalists as next - in - line . Hamilton appears to have hoped in 1796 that his influence within an Adams administration would be as great or greater than in Washington 's . By 1800 , Hamilton had come to realize that Adams was too independent and thought the Federalist vice presidential candidate , Charles Cotesworth Pinckney of South Carolina , more suited to serving Hamilton 's interests . In his third sabotage attempt toward Adams , Hamilton quietly schemed to elect Pinckney to the presidency . Given Pinckney 's lack of political experience , he would have been expected to be open to Hamilton 's influence . However , Hamilton 's plan backfired and hurt the Federalist party , particularly after one of his letters , a scathing criticism of Adams that was fifty - four pages long , fell into the hands of a Democratic - Republican and soon after became public . It embarrassed Adams and damaged Hamilton 's efforts on behalf of Pinckney , not to mention speeding Hamilton 's own political decline . Selection method changes ( edit ) Partisans on both sides sought any advantage they could find . In several states , this included changing the process of selecting electors to ensure the desired result . In Georgia , Democratic - Republican legislators replaced the popular vote with selection by the state legislature . Federalist legislators did the same in Massachusetts and New Hampshire . This may have had some unintended consequences in Massachusetts , where the makeup of the delegation to the House of Representatives changed from 12 Federalists and 2 Democratic - Republicans to 8 Federalists and 6 Democratic - Republicans , perhaps the result of backlash on the part of the electorate . Pennsylvania also switched to legislative choice , but this resulted in an almost evenly split set of electors . Virginia switched from electoral districts to winner - take - all , a move that probably switched one or two votes out of the Federalist column . Voting ( edit ) Results by county explicitly indicating the percentage of the winning candidate in each county . Shades of blue are for Jefferson ( Democratic - Republican ) and shades of yellow are for Adams ( Federalist ) . Because each state could choose its own election day in 1800 , voting lasted from April to October . In April , Burr 's successful mobilization of the vote in New York City succeeded in reversing the Federalist majority in the state legislature to provide decisive support for the Democratic - Republican ticket . With the two parties tied 63 -- 63 in the Electoral College in the autumn of 1800 , the last state to vote , South Carolina , chose eight Democratic - Republicans to award the election to Jefferson and Burr . Under the United States Constitution as it then stood , each elector cast two votes , and the candidate with a majority of the votes was elected president , with the vice presidency going to the runner - up . The Federalists therefore arranged for one of their electors to vote for John Jay rather than for Pinckney . The Democratic - Republicans had a similar plan to have one of their electors cast a vote for another candidate instead of Burr , but failed to execute it , thus all of the Democratic - Republican electors cast their votes for both Jefferson and Burr , 73 in all for each of them . According to a provision of the United States Constitution , a tie in a case of this type had to be resolved by the House of Representatives , with each state casting one vote . Although the congressional election of 1800 turned over majority control of the House of Representatives to the Democratic - Republicans by 65 seats to 35 , the presidential election had to be decided by the outgoing House that had been elected in the congressional election of 1798 ( at that time , the new presidential and congressional terms all started on March 4 of the year after a national election ) . In the outgoing House , the Federalists retained a majority of 90 seats to 54 . Disputes ( edit ) Defective certificates ( edit ) When the electoral ballots were opened and counted on February 11 , 1801 , it turned out that the certificate of election from Georgia was defective . While it was clear that the electors had cast their votes for Jefferson and Burr , the certificate did not take the constitutionally mandated form of a `` List of all the Persons voted for , and of the Number of Votes for each '' . Vice President Jefferson , who was counting the votes in his role as President of the Senate , immediately counted the votes from Georgia as votes for Jefferson and Burr . No objections were raised . If the disputed Georgia ballots were rejected on these technicalities , Jefferson and Burr would have lost 4 electoral votes , leaving them with 69 electoral votes each . The counting of the votes would have failed to result in a majority of 70 votes for any of the four candidates , causing a constitutionally mandated Congressional runoff among the top five finishers . Instead , the total number of votes for Jefferson and Burr was 73 , a majority of the total , but a tie between them . Results ( edit ) Jefferson won all or a majority of the voters in each state that he had won in 1796 , and additionally won majorities in New York and Maryland . Adams picked up votes in Pennsylvania and North Carolina , but these votes not enough to offset the Democratic - Republican gains elsewhere . Of the 155 counties and independent cities making returns , Jefferson won in 115 ( 74.19 % ) , whereas Adams carried 40 ( 25.81 % ) . This was the last time that Vermont voted for the Federalists .

The members of the House of Representatives balloted as states to determine whether Jefferson or Burr would become president . There were sixteen states , each with one vote ; an absolute majority of nine was required for victory . It was the outgoing House of Representatives , controlled by the Federalist Party , that was charged with electing the new president . While everyone knew that Republicans intended Jefferson to be their candidate for president and Burr for vice president , that did not bind the Federalists . Jefferson was the great enemy of the Federalists , and a faction of them try to block Jefferson and elect Burr in the House . Most Federalists voted for Burr , giving Burr six of the eight states controlled by Federalists . The seven delegations controlled by Republicans all voted for Jefferson , and Georgia 's sole Federalist representative also voted for him , giving him eight states . The Vermont delegation was evenly split and cast a blank ballot . The remaining state , Maryland , had five Federalist representatives to three Republicans ; one of its Federalist representatives voted for Jefferson , forcing that state delegation also to cast a blank ballot . Publicly , Burr remained quiet , and refused to disavow the presidency . Rumors circulated that he was encouraging Republicans to vote for him , but solid evidence was lacking and historians generally gave Burr the benefit of the doubt . In 2011 , however , historian Thomas Baker discovered a previously unknown letter from William P. Van Ness to Edward Livingston , two leading Republicans in New York . Van Ness was very close to Burr -- serving as his second in the later duel with Hamilton . As a leading Republican , Van Ness secretly supported the Federalist plan to elect Burr as president and tried to get Livingston to join . Livingston apparently agreed at first , then reversed himself . Baker argues that Burr probably supported the Van Ness plan : `` There is a compelling pattern of circumstantial evidence , much of it newly discovered , that strongly suggests Aaron Burr did exactly that as part of a stealth campaign to compass the presidency for himself . '' However it did not work , not just because of Livingston but even more due to the energetic opposition to Burr by Hamilton . Over the course of seven days , from February 11 to 17 , the House cast a total of 35 ballots , with Jefferson receiving the votes of eight state delegations each time -- one short of the necessary majority of nine . During the contest , Hamilton recommended to Federalists that they support Jefferson because he was `` by far not so dangerous a man '' as Burr ; in short , he would much rather have someone with wrong principles than someone devoid of any . Hamilton embarked on a frenzied letter - writing campaign to get delegates to switch votes . On February 17 , on the 36th ballot , Jefferson was elected . Federalist James A. Bayard of Delaware and his allies in Maryland and Vermont all cast blank ballots . This resulted in the Maryland and Vermont votes changing from no selection to Jefferson , giving him the votes of 10 states and the presidency . Bayard , as the sole representative from Delaware , changed his vote from Burr to no selection . The four representatives present from South Carolina , all Federalists , also changed their 3 -- 1 selection of Burr to four abstentions . Results ( edit ) This section does not cite any sources .

Even though Georgia had two representatives apportioned , one seat was vacant due to the death of James Jones . Even though South Carolina had six representatives apportioned , Thomas Sumter was absent due to illness , and Abraham Nott departed for South Carolina between the first and final ballots . Electoral college selection ( edit ) The Constitution , in Article II , Section 1 , provided that the state legislatures should decide the manner in which their electors were chosen . Different state legislatures chose different methods : Method of choosing electors State ( s ) State is divided into electoral districts , with one Elector chosen per district by the voters of that district Kentucky Maryland North Carolina Each Elector chosen by voters statewide Rhode Island Virginia State is divided into electoral districts , with one Elector chosen per district Each county chooses an electoral delegate by popular vote Elector is chosen by electoral delegates of the counties within their district Tennessee Each Elector appointed by state legislature ( all other states ) In popular Culture ( edit ) The election of 1800 was the topic of the song ' The Election of 1800 ' from the Broadway musical Hamilton . In the song ' Hamilton ' says `` I have never agreed with Jefferson once , we have fought on like 75 different fronts , but when all is said and all is done : Jefferson has beliefs . Burr has none . '' This angers Burr and leads directly into the song ' Your Obedient Servant ' : in which Burr stands up to Hamilton and declares a duel . This duel led to the death of Alexander Hamilton . The election 's story and the eventual reconciliation between Jefferson and Adams was also retold in a second - season episode of Comedy Central 's Drunk History , with Jerry O'Connell portraying Jefferson and Joe Lo Truglio as Adams .

Tickets for the opening and closing ceremonies will range from ₩ 220,000 ( $190 ) to ₩ 1.5 million ( $1293 ) . The exact prices were determined through market research ; around 50 % of the tickets are due to cost about ₩ 80,000 ( $69 ) or less , and tickets in sports that are relatively unknown in the region , such as biathlon and luge , will be made cheaper in order to encourage attendance . By contrast , figure skating and the Men 's hockey gold medal game carry the most expensive tickets of the Games . As of October 11 , domestic ticket sales for the games have been incredibly slow . Of the 750,000 seats allocated to South Koreans , only 20.7 % have been sold . International sales have been a bit better , with 59.7 % of the 320,000 allocated tickets sold . Sales of tickets to the Paralympic Games are even more dismal , with only 4.2 percent sold . Preparations ( edit ) 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 will 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 was to put 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 will connect Pyeongchang to Seoul . Olympic venues 2018 The International Paralympic Committee met with the Pyeongchang 2018 organizing committee for an orientation in July 2012 . Then - IOC President Jacques Rogge visited Pyeongchang for the first time in February 2013 . On 27 June 2014 the PyeongChang Olympic Committee announced their mascot selection contest . The contest ran from 15 September 2014 to 30 September 2014 . The 2013 Special Olympics World Winter Games were held in Pyeongchang . 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 .

The Gangneung Olympic Park will include the following four venues : Gangneung Hockey Centre -- ice hockey ( men competition ) Gangneung Curling Centre -- curling Gangneung Oval -- speed skating Gangneung Ice Arena -- short track speed skating and figure skating In addition , a stand - alone venue is located on the grounds of Catholic Kwandong University : Kwandong Hockey Centre -- ice hockey ( women competition ) Sports ( edit ) The 2018 Winter Olympics will feature 102 events in 15 sports . Four new disciplines in existing sports will be introduced in Pyeongchang , including big air snowboarding ( which will replace the parallel slalom ) , mixed doubles curling , mass start speed skating , and mixed team alpine skiing . For the first time since 1998 , the National Hockey League will 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 demands for the IOC to cover the cost of insuring the NHL players that participate in the Games . Although it did pay to insure NHL players in Sochi , the IOC 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 in the future . NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman added that the IOC did n't allow the NHL to promote the involvement of its players in the Olympics . The NHL has yet to announce if it will implement any specific measures to penalize players who participate in the Olympics .

It is a stylized representation of the hangul letters ᄑ p and ᄎ ch , being the initial sounds of 평창 Pyeongchang . Additionally the left symbol is said to represent the Korean philosophical triad of heaven , earth and humanity ( Korean : 천지인 cheon - ji - in ) , and the right symbol to represent a crystal of ice . The name of the host city , Pyeongchang , has been intentionally styled in CamelCase as `` PyeongChang '' on the emblem and in official materials , rather than `` Pyeongchang '' . This has been done to alleviate potential confusion with Pyongyang , the similarly - named capital of neighbouring North Korea . Gangwon Governor Choi Moon - soon cited a 2014 incident where a representative from Kenya , en route to a United Nations biodiversity conference in Pyeongchang , was detained by local immigration officers after accidentally flying to Pyongyang instead . The official pictograms for 24 sports across 15 disciplines were revealed in January 2017 and are designed using the Korean alphabet as an inspiration . Mascots ( edit ) Main article : Soohorang and Bandabi Soohorang ( 수 호랑 ) , a white tiger , and Bandabi ( 반 다비 ) , an Asiatic black bear , were announced as the official mascots of the 2018 Winter Olympics and Paralympics . Broadcasting rights ( 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 -- who extended its rights to the Olympics through 2024 in July 2011 . On 29 June 2015 , the IOC announced that Discovery Communications -- owner of Eurosport , had acquired exclusive rights to the Olympics from 2018 through 2024 across Europe , excluding Russia , on all platforms . Discovery will sub-license its broadcast rights to local free - to - air networks on a territorial basis . Discovery 's rights deal will , initially , not cover France due to pre-existing rights deals with France Télévisions that run through the 2020 Games . Unlike previous pan-European deals , such as with the European Broadcasting Union and Sportfive , Discovery will not solely serve as a reseller , and intends to carry coverage on its regional properties , but has committed to sub-licensing at least 100 hours of coverage to free - to - air networks ... In the United Kingdom , Discovery will hold exclusive pay television rights under license from the BBC , in return for the BBC sub-licensing the free - to - air rights to the 2022 and 2024 Olympics from Discovery . In the United States , the Games will once again be broadcast by NBC under a long - term contract ; it will also be NBC 's first Olympics without long - time host Bob Costas , who announced his retirement from the role in favour of Mike Tirico on 7 February 2017 . On 28 March 2017 , NBC also announced that it would air most primetime coverage simultaneously in all time zones , rather than tape - delayed for the west coast . Concerns and controversies ( edit ) Russian doping ( edit ) Russia could possibly face being banned because of their state - sponsored doping program . A decision on the matter will be made in the months prior to the games . Russian Olympic Committee president Alexander Zhukov stated that he expects Russian participation and that a state ban was not the position of WADA , who expect a resolution in November 2017 . Russia managed to avoid being completely banned from the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro . Security ( edit ) See also : North Korea and weapons of mass destruction On 20 September 2017 , South Korea 's President Moon Jae - in said the country is pushing to ensure security at Pyeongchang Winter Olympic Games amid rising tensions over the North Korea 's nuclear test and a series of missile launches . However , on the next day , French Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports Laura Flessel - Colovic said France 's Winter Olympics team will boycott the games unless South Korea 's security is guaranteed . On 22 September 2017 , Austria and Germany joined France in boycotting the games . Karl Stoss , head of Austria 's national Olympic committee , said that , `` if the situation worsens and the security of our athletes is no longer guaranteed , we will not go to South Korea . '' The German interior ministry said the security question and the possibility of keeping the German team at home would be addressed `` in good time '' by the government . Several days later , Laura Flessel - Colovic reaffirmed France 's participation in the games . Austria and Germany are yet to decide on reaffirming .

Their enrollment was followed by the Little Rock Crisis , in which the students were initially prevented from entering the racially segregated school by Orval Faubus , the Governor of Arkansas . They then attended after the intervention of President Dwight D. Eisenhower . The U.S. Supreme Court issued its historic Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka , Kansas , 347 U.S. 483 , on May 17 , 1954 . Tied to the 14th Amendment , the decision declared all laws establishing segregated schools to be unconstitutional , and it called for the desegregation of all schools throughout the nation . After the decision , the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People ( NAACP ) attempted to register black students in previously all - white schools in cities throughout the South . In Little Rock , the capital city of Arkansas , the Little Rock School Board agreed to comply with the high court 's ruling . Virgil Blossom , the Superintendent of Schools , submitted a plan of gradual integration to the school board on May 24 , 1955 , which the board unanimously approved . The plan would be implemented during the fall of the 1957 school year , which would begin in September 1957 . By 1957 , the NAACP had registered nine black students to attend the previously all - white Little Rock Central High , selected on the criteria of excellent grades and attendance . Called the `` Little Rock Nine '' , they were Ernest Green ( b . 1941 ) , Elizabeth Eckford ( b . 1941 ) , Jefferson Thomas ( 1942 -- 2010 ) , Terrence Roberts ( b . 1941 ) , Carlotta Walls LaNier ( b . 1942 ) , Minnijean Brown ( b . 1941 ) , Gloria Ray Karlmark ( b . 1942 ) , Thelma Mothershed ( b . 1940 ) , and Melba Pattillo Beals ( b . 1941 ) . Ernest Green was the first African American to graduate from Central High School .

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

( August 2011 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Faubus 's opposition to desegregation was likely both politically and racially motivated . Although Faubus had indicated that he would consider bringing Arkansas into compliance with the high court 's decision in 1956 , desegregation was opposed by his own southern Democratic Party , which dominated all Southern politics at the time . Faubus risked losing political support in the upcoming 1958 Democratic gubernatorial primary if he showed support for integration . Most histories of the crisis conclude that Faubus , facing pressure as he campaigned for a third term , decided to appease racist elements in the state by calling out the National Guard to prevent the black students from entering Central High . Former associate justice of the Arkansas Supreme Court James D. Johnson claimed to have hoaxed Governor Faubus into calling out the National Guard , supposedly to prevent a white mob from stopping the integration of Little Rock Central High School : `` There was n't any caravan . But we made Orval believe it . We said . ' They 're lining up . They 're coming in droves . ' ... The only weapon we had was to leave the impression that the sky was going to fall . '' He later claimed that Faubus asked him to raise a mob to justify his actions . Harry Ashmore , the editor of the Arkansas Gazette , won a 1958 Pulitzer Prize for his editorials on the crisis . Ashmore portrayed the fight over Central High as a crisis manufactured by Faubus ; in his interpretation , Faubus used the Arkansas National Guard to keep black children out of Central High School because he was frustrated by the success his political opponents were having in using segregationist rhetoric to stir white voters . Congressman Brooks Hays , who tried to mediate between the federal government and Faubus , was later defeated by a last minute write - in candidate , Dale Alford , a member of the Little Rock School Board who had the backing of Faubus 's allies . A few years later , despite the incident with the `` Little Rock Nine '' , Faubus ran as a moderate segregationist against Dale Alford , who was challenging Faubus for the Democratic nomination for governor in 1962 . Little Rock Nine Memorial Memorial closeup of Eckford Legacy External video <Td_colspan="2"> Booknotes interview with Melba Patillo Beals on Warriors Do n't Cry , November 27 , 1994 , C - SPAN A commemorative silver dollar Memorial at Arkansas State Capitol Three members of the `` Little Rock Nine '' ( L-R ) Ernest Green , Carlotta Walls LaNier , and Terrence Roberts - stand together on the steps of the LBJ Presidential Library in 2014 Little Rock Central High School still functions as part of the Little Rock School District , and is now a National Historic Site that houses a Civil Rights Museum , administered in partnership with the National Park Service , to commemorate the events of 1957 . The Daisy Bates House , home to Daisy Bates , then the president of the Arkansas NAACP and a focal point for the students , was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2001 for its role in the episode . In 1958 , Cuban poet Nicolás Guillén published `` Little Rock '' , a bilingual composition in English and Spanish denouncing the racial segregation in the United States . Melba Pattillo Beals wrote a memoir titled Warriors Do n't Cry , published in the mid-1990s . Two made - for - television movies have depicted the events of the crisis : the 1981 CBS movie Crisis at Central High , and the 1993 Disney Channel movie The Ernest Green Story . In 1996 , seven of the Little Rock Nine appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show . They came face to face with a few of the white students who had tormented them as well as one student who had befriended them . President Bill Clinton honored the Little Rock Nine in November 1999 when he presented them each with a Congressional Gold Medal . The medal is the highest civilian award bestowed by Congress . It is given to those who have provided outstanding service to the country . To receive the Congressional Gold Medal , recipients must be co-sponsored by two - thirds of both the House and Senate . In 2007 , the United States Mint made available a commemorative silver dollar to `` recognize and pay tribute to the strength , the determination and the courage displayed by African - American high school students in the fall of 1957 . '' The obverse depicts students accompanied by a soldier , with nine stars symbolizing the Little Rock Nine . The reverse depicts an image of Little Rock Central High School , c. 1957 . Proceeds from the coin sales are to be used to improve the National Historic Site . On December 9 , 2008 , the Little Rock Nine were invited to attend the inauguration of President - elect Barack Obama , the first African - American to be elected President of the United States . On February 9 , 2010 , Marquette University honored the group by presenting them with the Père Marquette Discovery Award , the university 's highest honor , one that had previously been given to Mother Teresa , Archbishop Desmond Tutu , Karl Rahner , and the Apollo 11 astronauts , among other notables .

who invented the thermometer and in what year
Thermometer - wikipedia Thermometer Jump to : navigation , search Mercury thermometer ( mercury - in - glass thermometer ) for measurement of room temperature . Daniel Fahrenheit 's application of mercury and a standardized temperature scale for liquid - in - glass thermometers ushered in a new era of accuracy and precision in thermometry . From the early 1710s until the introduction of electronic devices in the 1960s , mercury - in - glass thermometers were the world 's most reliable and accurate thermometers , accounting for their widespread use . A thermometer is a device that measures temperature or a temperature gradient . A thermometer has two important elements : ( 1 ) a temperature sensor ( e.g. the bulb of a mercury - in - glass thermometer or the digital sensor in an infrared thermometer ) in which some change occurs with a change in temperature , and ( 2 ) some means of converting this change into a numerical value ( e.g. the visible scale that is marked on a mercury - in - glass thermometer or the digital readout on an infrared model ) . Thermometers are widely used in industry to monitor processes , in meteorology , in medicine , and in scientific research . Some of the principles of the thermometer were known to Greek philosophers of two thousand years ago . The modern thermometer gradually evolved from the thermoscope with the addition of a scale in the early 17th century and standardisation through the 17th and 18th centuries .

While an individual thermometer is able to measure degrees of hotness , the readings on two thermometers can not be compared unless they conform to an agreed scale . Today there is an absolute thermodynamic temperature scale . Internationally agreed temperature scales are designed to approximate this closely , based on fixed points and interpolating thermometers . The most recent official temperature scale is the International Temperature Scale of 1990 . It extends from 0.65 K ( − 272.5 ° C ; − 458.5 ° F ) to approximately 1,358 K ( 1,085 ° C ; 1,985 ° F ) . Thermometer with Fahrenheit ( symbol ° F ) and Celsius ( symbol ° C ) units . Daniel Fahrenheit 's mercury - in - glass thermometer was the first practical , accurate thermometer in history . Early Developments ( edit ) See also : Thermometry , Temperature scale , Thermoscope , Alcohol thermometer , and Timeline of temperature and pressure measurement technology Fifty - degree thermometers from the mid-17th century on exhibit at the Museo Galileo with black dots representing single degrees and white represented 10 - degree increments ; used to measure atmospheric temperatures Various authors have credited the invention of the thermometer to Hero of Alexandria . The thermometer was not a single invention , however , but a development . Hero of Alexandria ( 10 -- 70 AD ) knew of the principle that certain substances , notably air , expand and contract and described a demonstration in which a closed tube partially filled with air had its end in a container of water . The expansion and contraction of the air caused the position of the water / air interface to move along the tube . Such a mechanism was later used to show the hotness and coldness of the air with a tube in which the water level is controlled by the expansion and contraction of the gas . These devices were developed by several European scientists in the 16th and 17th centuries , notably Galileo Galilei . As a result , devices were shown to produce this effect reliably , and the term thermoscope was adopted because it reflected the changes in sensible heat ( the concept of temperature was yet to arise ) . The difference between a thermoscope and a thermometer is that the latter has a scale . Though Galileo is often said to be the inventor of the thermometer , what he produced were thermoscopes . The first clear diagram of a thermoscope was published in 1617 by Giuseppe Biancani ( 1566 -- 1624 ) : the first showing a scale and thus constituting a thermometer was by Robert Fludd in 1638 . This was a vertical tube , closed by a bulb of air at the top , with the lower end opening into a vessel of water . The water level in the tube is controlled by the expansion and contraction of the air , so it is what we would now call an air thermometer . The first person to put a scale on a thermoscope is variously said to be Francesco Sagredo ( 1571 -- 1620 ) or Santorio Santorio in about 1611 to 1613 . The word thermometer ( in its French form ) first appeared in 1624 in La Récréation Mathématique by J. Leurechon , who describes one with a scale of 8 degrees . The word comes from the Greek words θερμός , thermos , meaning `` hot '' and μέτρον , metron , meaning `` measure '' . The above instruments suffered from the disadvantage that they were also barometers , i.e. sensitive to air pressure . In 1629 , Joseph Solomon Delmedigo , a student of Galileo , published what is apparently the first description and illustration of a sealed liquid - in - glass thermometer . It is described as having a bulb at the bottom of a sealed tube partially filled with brandy . The tube has a numbered scale . Delmedigo does not claim to have invented this instrument , nor does he name anyone else as its inventor . In about 1654 Ferdinando II de ' Medici , Grand Duke of Tuscany ( 1610 -- 1670 ) , actually produced such an instrument , the first modern - style thermometer , dependent on the expansion of a liquid , and independent of air pressure . Many other scientists experimented with various liquids and designs of thermometer . However , each inventor and each thermometer was unique -- there was no standard scale . In 1665 Christiaan Huygens ( 1629 -- 1695 ) suggested using the melting and boiling points of water as standards , and in 1694 Carlo Renaldini ( 1615 -- 1698 ) proposed using them as fixed points on a universal scale . In 1701 , Isaac Newton ( 1642 -- 1726 / 27 ) proposed a scale of 12 degrees between the melting point of ice and body temperature . Era of precision thermometry ( edit ) See also : Precision thermometry , Fahrenheit scale , Celsius scale , Mercury - in - glass thermometer ( mercury thermometer ) , Medical thermometer , Clinical thermometer , Pyrometer , and Infrared thermometer Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit , the originator of the era of precision thermometry . He invented the mercury thermometer ( first practical , accurate thermometer ) and Fahrenheit scale ( first standardized temperature scale to be widely used ) . A medical mercury - in - glass maximum thermometer . Daniel Fahrenheit 's mercury - in - glass thermometer was far more reliable and accurate than any that had existed before , and the mercury thermometers in use today are made in the way Fahrenheit devised . In 1714 Dutch scientist and inventor Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the first reliable thermometer , using mercury instead of alcohol and water mixtures . In 1724 he proposed a temperature scale which now ( slightly adjusted ) bears his name . He could do this because he manufactured thermometers , using mercury ( which has a high coefficient of expansion ) for the first time and the quality of his production could provide a finer scale and greater is reproducibility , leading to its general adoption . In 1742 , Anders Celsius ( 1701 -- 1744 ) proposed a scale with zero at the boiling point and 100 degrees at the freezing point of water , though the scale which now bears his name has them the other way around . The first physician that put thermometer measurements to clinical practice was Herman Boerhaave ( 1668 -- 1738 ) . In 1866 , Sir Thomas Clifford Allbutt ( 1836 -- 1925 ) invented a clinical thermometer that produced a body temperature reading in five minutes as opposed to twenty . In 1999 , Dr. Francesco Pompei of the Exergen Corporation introduced the world 's first temporal artery thermometer , a non-invasive temperature sensor which scans the forehead in about two seconds and provides a medically accurate body temperature . Registering ( edit ) Old thermometers were all non-registering thermometers . That is , the thermometer did not hold the temperature reading after it was moved to a place with a different temperature . Determining the temperature of a pot of hot liquid required the user to leave the thermometer in the hot liquid until after reading it . If the non-registering thermometer was removed from the hot liquid , then the temperature indicated on the thermometer would immediately begin changing to reflect the temperature of its new conditions ( in this case , the air temperature ) . Registering thermometers are designed to hold the temperature indefinitely , so that the thermometer can be removed and read at a later time or in a more convenient place . Mechanical registering thermometers hold either the highest or lowest temperature recorded , until manually re-set , e.g. , by shaking down a mercury - in - glass thermometer , or until an even more extreme temperature is experienced . Electronic registering thermometers may be designed to remember the highest or lowest temperature , or to remember whatever temperature was present at a specified point in time . Thermometers increasingly use electronic means to provide a digital display or input to a computer . Physical principles of thermometry ( edit ) Various thermometers from the 19th century . Comparison of the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales Thermometers may be described as empirical or absolute . Absolute thermometers are calibrated numerically by the thermodynamic absolute temperature scale . Empirical thermometers are not in general necessarily in exact agreement with absolute thermometers as to their numerical scale readings , but to qualify as thermometers at all they must agree with absolute thermometers and with each other in the following way : given any two bodies isolated in their separate respective thermodynamic equilibrium states , all thermometers agree as to which of the two has the higher temperature , or that the two have equal temperatures . For any two empirical thermometers , this does not require that the relation between their numerical scale readings be linear , but it does require that relation to be strictly monotonic . This is a fundamental character of temperature and thermometers . As it is customarily stated in textbooks , taken alone , the so - called `` zeroth law of thermodynamics '' fails to deliver this information , but the statement of the zeroth law of thermodynamics by James Serrin in 1977 , though rather mathematically abstract , is more informative for thermometry : `` Zeroth Law -- There exists a topological line M ( \ displaystyle M ) which serves as a coordinate manifold of material behaviour . The points L ( \ displaystyle L ) of the manifold M ( \ displaystyle M ) are called ' hotness levels ' , and M ( \ displaystyle M ) is called the ' universal hotness manifold ' . '' To this information there needs to be added a sense of greater hotness ; this sense can be had , independently of calorimetry , of thermodynamics , and of properties of particular materials , from Wien 's displacement law of thermal radiation : the temperature of a bath of thermal radiation is proportional , by a universal constant , to the frequency of the maximum of its frequency spectrum ; this frequency is always positive , but can have values that tend to zero . Another way of identifying hotter as opposed to colder conditions is supplied by Planck 's principle , that when a process of isochoric adiabatic work is the sole means of change of internal energy of a closed system , the final state of the system is never colder than the initial state ; except for phase changes with latent heat , it is hotter than the initial state . There are several principles on which empirical thermometers are built , as listed in the section of this article entitled `` Primary and secondary thermometers '' . Several such principles are essentially based on the constitutive relation between the state of a suitably selected particular material and its temperature . Only some materials are suitable for this purpose , and they may be considered as `` thermometric materials '' . Radiometric thermometry , in contrast , can be only slightly dependent on the constitutive relations of materials . In a sense then , radiometric thermometry might be thought of as `` universal '' . This is because it rests mainly on a universality character of thermodynamic equilibrium , that it has the universal property of producing blackbody radiation . Thermometric materials ( edit ) Bi-metallic stem thermometers used to measure the temperature of steamed milk Bi-metallic thermometer for cooking and baking in an oven There are various kinds of empirical thermometer based on material properties . Many empirical thermometers rely on the constitutive relation between pressure , volume and temperature of their thermometric material . For example , mercury expands when heated . If it is used for its relation between pressure and volume and temperature , a thermometric material must have three properties : ( 1 ) Its heating and cooling must be rapid . That is to say , when a quantity of heat enters or leaves a body of the material , the material must expand or contract to its final volume or reach its final pressure and must reach its final temperature with practically no delay ; some of the heat that enters can be considered to change the volume of the body at constant temperature , and is called the latent heat of expansion at constant temperature ; and the rest of it can be considered to change the temperature of the body at constant volume , and is called the specific heat at constant volume . Some materials do not have this property , and take some time to distribute the heat between temperature and volume change . ( 2 ) Its heating and cooling must be reversible . That is to say , the material must be able to be heated and cooled indefinitely often by the same increment and decrement of heat , and still return to its original pressure , volume and temperature every time . Some plastics do not have this property ; ( 3 ) Its heating and cooling must be monotonic . That is to say , throughout the range of temperatures for which it is intended to work , ( a ) at a given fixed pressure , either ( α ) the volume increases when the temperature increases , or else ( β ) the volume decreases when the temperature increases ; but not ( α ) for some temperatures and ( β ) for others ; or ( b ) at a given fixed volume , either ( α ) the pressure increases when the temperature increases , or else ( β ) the pressure decreases when the temperature increases ; but not ( α ) for some temperatures and ( β ) for others . At temperatures around about 4 ° C , water does not have the property ( 3 ) , and is said to behave anomalously in this respect ; thus water can not be used as a material for this kind of thermometry for temperature ranges near 4 ° C . Gases , on the other hand , all have the properties ( 1 ) , ( 2 ) , and ( 3 ) ( a ) ( α ) and ( 3 ) ( b ) ( α ) . Consequently , they are suitable thermometric materials , and that is why they were important in the development of thermometry . Constant volume thermometry ( edit ) According to Preston ( 1894 / 1904 ) , Regnault found constant pressure air thermometers unsatisfactory , because they needed troublesome corrections . He therefore built a constant volume air thermometer . Constant volume thermometers do not provide a way to avoid the problem of anomalous behaviour like that of water at approximately 4 ° C . Radiometric thermometry ( edit ) Planck 's law very accurately quantitatively describes the power spectral density of electromagnetic radiation , inside a rigid walled cavity in a body made of material that is completely opaque and poorly reflective , when it has reached thermodynamic equilibrium , as a function of absolute thermodynamic temperature alone . A small enough hole in the wall of the cavity emits near enough blackbody radiation of which the spectral radiance can be precisely measured . The walls of the cavity , provided they are completely opaque and poorly reflective , can be of any material indifferently . This provides a well - reproducible absolute thermometer over a very wide range of temperatures , able to measure the absolute temperature of a body inside the cavity . Primary and secondary thermometers ( edit ) A thermometer is called primary or secondary based on how the raw physical quantity it measures is mapped to a temperature . As summarized by Kauppinen et al. , `` For primary thermometers the measured property of matter is known so well that temperature can be calculated without any unknown quantities . Examples of these are thermometers based on the equation of state of a gas , on the velocity of sound in a gas , on the thermal noise voltage or current of an electrical resistor , and on the angular anisotropy of gamma ray emission of certain radioactive nuclei in a magnetic field . '' In contrast , `` Secondary thermometers are most widely used because of their convenience . Also , they are often much more sensitive than primary ones . For secondary thermometers knowledge of the measured property is not sufficient to allow direct calculation of temperature . They have to be calibrated against a primary thermometer at least at one temperature or at a number of fixed temperatures . Such fixed points , for example , triple points and superconducting transitions , occur reproducibly at the same temperature . '' Calibration ( edit ) Mercury - in - glass thermometer Thermometers can be calibrated either by comparing them with other calibrated thermometers or by checking them against known fixed points on the temperature scale . The best known of these fixed points are the melting and boiling points of pure water . ( Note that the boiling point of water varies with pressure , so this must be controlled . ) The traditional way of putting a scale on a liquid - in - glass or liquid - in - metal thermometer was in three stages : Immerse the sensing portion in a stirred mixture of pure ice and water at atmospheric pressure and mark the point indicated when it had come to thermal equilibrium . Immerse the sensing portion in a steam bath at Standard atmospheric pressure and again mark the point indicated . Divide the distance between these marks into equal portions according to the temperature scale being used . Other fixed points used in the past are the body temperature ( of a healthy adult male ) which was originally used by Fahrenheit as his upper fixed point ( 96 ° F ( 36 ° C ) to be a number divisible by 12 ) and the lowest temperature given by a mixture of salt and ice , which was originally the definition of 0 ° F ( − 18 ° C ) . ( This is an example of a Frigorific mixture ) . As body temperature varies , the Fahrenheit scale was later changed to use an upper fixed point of boiling water at 212 ° F ( 100 ° C ) . These have now been replaced by the defining points in the International Temperature Scale of 1990 , though in practice the melting point of water is more commonly used than its triple point , the latter being more difficult to manage and thus restricted to critical standard measurement . Nowadays manufacturers will often use a thermostat bath or solid block where the temperature is held constant relative to a calibrated thermometer . Other thermometers to be calibrated are put into the same bath or block and allowed to come to equilibrium , then the scale marked , or any deviation from the instrument scale recorded . For many modern devices calibration will be stating some value to be used in processing an electronic signal to convert it to a temperature . Precision , accuracy , and reproducibility ( edit ) The `` Boyce MotoMeter '' radiator cap on a 1913 Car - Nation automobile , used to measure temperature of vapor in 1910s and 1920s cars . The precision or resolution of a thermometer is simply to what fraction of a degree it is possible to make a reading . For high temperature work it may only be possible to measure to the nearest 10 ° C or more . Clinical thermometers and many electronic thermometers are usually readable to 0.1 ° C. Special instruments can give readings to one thousandth of a degree . However , this precision does not mean the reading is true or accurate , it only means that very small changes can be observed . A thermometer calibrated to a known fixed point is accurate ( i.e. gives a true reading ) at that point . Most thermometers are originally calibrated to a constant - volume gas thermometer . In between fixed calibration points , interpolation is used , usually linear . This may give significant differences between different types of thermometer at points far away from the fixed points . For example , the expansion of mercury in a glass thermometer is slightly different from the change in resistance of a platinum resistance thermometer , so these two will disagree slightly at around 50 ° C. There may be other causes due to imperfections in the instrument , e.g. in a liquid - in - glass thermometer if the capillary tube varies in diameter . For many purposes reproducibility is important . That is , does the same thermometer give the same reading for the same temperature ( or do replacement or multiple thermometers give the same reading ) ? Reproducible temperature measurement means that comparisons are valid in scientific experiments and industrial processes are consistent . Thus if the same type of thermometer is calibrated in the same way its readings will be valid even if it is slightly inaccurate compared to the absolute scale . An example of a reference thermometer used to check others to industrial standards would be a platinum resistance thermometer with a digital display to 0.1 ° C ( its precision ) which has been calibrated at 5 points against national standards ( − 18 , 0 , 40 , 70 , 100 ° C ) and which is certified to an accuracy of ± 0.2 ° C . According to British Standards , correctly calibrated , used and maintained liquid - in - glass thermometers can achieve a measurement uncertainty of ± 0.01 ° C in the range 0 to 100 ° C , and a larger uncertainty outside this range : ± 0.05 ° C up to 200 or down to − 40 ° C , ± 0.2 ° C up to 450 or down to − 80 ° C . Indirect methods of temperature measurement ( edit ) This section needs expansion with : Needs completion . Add any missing , give brief overview of each principle or thermometer , pros / cons for example temperature range and accuracy , etc ... You can help by adding to it . ( January 2017 ) In theory any physical phenomenon exhibiting a temperature dependence could be used as a thermometer , measuring temperature indirectly . Some of these properties have been exploited . For example blackbody radiation allows one to measure the temperature in a blast furnace or kiln , or the temperature of a distant star Thermal expansion Utilizing the property of thermal expansion of various phases of matter . Pairs of solid metals with different expansion coefficients can be used for bi-metal mechanical thermometers . Another design using this principle is Breguet 's thermometer . Some liquids possess relatively high expansion coefficients over a useful temperature ranges thus forming the basis for an alcohol or mercury thermometer . Alternative designs using this principle are the reversing thermometer and Beckmann differential thermometer . As with liquids , gases can also be used to form a gas thermometer . Pressure Vapour pressure thermometer Density Galileo thermometer Thermochromism Some compounds exhibit thermochromism at distinct temperature changes . Thus by tuning the phase transition temperatures for a series of substances the temperature can be quantified in discrete increments , a form of digitization . This is the basis for a liquid crystal thermometer . Blackbody radiation All objects above absolute zero emit blackbody radiation for which the spectra is directly proportional to the temperature . This property is the basis for a pyrometer or infrared thermometer and thermography . It has the advantage of remote temperature sensing ; it does not require contact or even close proximity unlike most thermometers . At higher temperatures , blackbody radiation becomes visible and is described by the colour temperature . For example a glowing heating element or an approximation of a star 's surface temperature . Fluorescence Phosphor thermometry Optical absorbance spectra Fiber optical thermometer Electrical resistance Resistance thermometer which use materials such as Balco alloy Thermistor Coulomb blockade thermometer Electrical potential Thermocouples are useful over a wide temperature ranges from cryogenic temperatures to over 1000 ° C , but typically have an error of ± 0.5 - 1.5 ° C . Silicon bandgap temperature sensors are commonly found packaged in integrated circuits with accompanying ADC and interface such as I C. Typically they are specified to work within about -- 50 to 150 ° C with accuracies in the ± 0.25 to 1 ° C range but can be improved by binning . Electrical resonance Quartz thermometer Nuclear magnetic resonance Chemical shift is temperature dependent . This property is used to calibrate the thermostat of NMR probes , usually using methanol or ethylene glycol . This can potentially be problematic for internal standards which are usually assumed to have a defined chemical shift ( e.g 0 ppm for TMS ) but in fact exhibit a temperature dependence . Magnetic susceptibility See also : Paramagnetism § Curie 's law Above the Curie temperature , the magnetic susceptibility of a paramagnetic material exhibits an inverse temperature dependence . This phenomenon is the basis of a magnetic cryometer . Applications ( edit ) See also : List of temperature sensors Thermometers utilize a range of physical effects to measure temperature . Temperature sensors are used in a wide variety of scientific and engineering applications , especially measurement systems . Temperature systems are primarily either electrical or mechanical , occasionally inseparable from the system which they control ( as in the case of a mercury - in - glass thermometer ) . Thermometers are used in roadways in cold weather climates to help determine if icing conditions exist . Indoors , thermistors are used in climate control systems such as air conditioners , freezers , heaters , refrigerators , and water heaters . Galileo thermometers are used to measure indoor air temperature , due to their limited measurement range . Such liquid crystal thermometers ( which use thermochromic liquid crystals ) are also used in mood rings and used to measure the temperature of water in fish tanks . Fiber Bragg grating temperature sensors are used in nuclear power facilities to monitor reactor core temperatures and avoid the possibility of nuclear meltdowns . Nanothermometry ( edit ) Nanothermometry is an emergent research field dealing with the knowledge of temperature in the sub-micrometric scale . Conventional thermometers can not measure the temperature of an object which is smaller than a micrometre , and new methods and materials have to be used . Nanothermometry is used in such cases . Nanothermometers are classified as luminescent thermometers ( if they use light to measure temperature ) and non-luminescent thermometers ( systems where thermometric properties are not directly related to luminescence ) . Cryometer ( edit ) Main article : cryometer Thermometers used specifically for low temperatures . Medical ( edit ) Main article : medical thermometer Ear thermometers tend to be an infrared thermometer . Forehead thermometer is an example of a liquid crystal thermometer . Rectal and oral thermometers have typically been mercury but have since largely been supersceded by NTC thermistors with a digital readout . Various thermometric techniques have been used throughout history such as the Galileo thermometer to thermal imaging . Medical thermometers such as mercury - in - glass thermometers , infrared thermometers , pill thermometers , and liquid crystal thermometers are used in health care settings to determine if individuals have a fever or are hypothermic . Food and food safety ( edit ) Thermometers are important in food safety where food at temperatures within 41 and 135 ° F ( 5 and 57 ° C ) can be prone to potentially harmful levels of bacterial growth after several hours which could lead to foodborne illness . This includes monitoring refrigeration temperatures and maintaining temperatures in foods being served under heat lamps or hot water baths . Cooking thermometers are important for determining if a food is properly cooked . In particular meat thermometers are used to aid in cooking meat to a safe internal temperature while preventing over cooking . They are commonly found using either a bimetallic coil , or a thermocouple or thermistor with a digital readout . Candy thermometers are used to aid in achieving a specific water content in a sugar solution based on its boiling temperature . Environmental ( edit ) Indoor - outdoor thermometer Heat meter uses a thermometer to measure rate of heat flow . Thermostats have used bimetallic strips but digital thermistors have since become popular . Alcohol thermometers , infrared thermometers , mercury - in - glass thermometers , recording thermometers , thermistors , and Six 's thermometers are used in meteorology and climatology in various levels of the atmosphere and oceans . Aircraft use thermometers and hygrometers to determine if atmospheric icing conditions exist along their flight path . These measurements are used to initialize weather forecast models . Thermometers are used in roadways in cold weather climates to help determine if icing conditions exist and indoors in climate control systems .

Baby is the younger of two daughters , and plans to attend Mount Holyoke College to study economics in underdeveloped countries and then enter the Peace Corps . Her father , Jake ( Jerry Orbach ) , is the doctor and friend of Max Kellerman ( Jack Weston ) , the resort proprietor . Baby is befriended by Max 's grandson Neil ( Lonny Price ) . Baby develops a crush on the resort 's dance instructor , Johnny Castle ( Patrick Swayze ) . Johnny is the leader of the resort 's working - class entertainment staff . Baby encounters Johnny 's cousin Billy on a walk through the resort grounds , and helps him carry watermelons to the staff quarters . The staff hold secret after - hours parties in their quarters , and Baby is surprised by the `` dirty dancing '' they engage in . Intrigued , Baby receives a brief , impromptu dance lesson from Johnny . After Baby discovers that Johnny 's dance partner , Penny Johnson ( Cynthia Rhodes ) , is pregnant by Robbie Gould ( Max Cantor ) , a womanizing waiter who is also dating and cheating on Baby 's older sister , Lisa ( Jane Brucker ) and several other female guests , she borrows money from her father to pay for an illegal abortion for Penny . Jake agrees to give the money to Baby even though she says she ca n't tell him what it 's for . Penny eventually accepts the money , but says there is another issue . Johnny and Penny perform a weekly dance at the Sheldrake , another nearby resort . Penny will miss her performance if she goes for the abortion , and they will forfeit their salary for the season . Billy suggests that Baby fill in for her . Johnny scoffs at this , which overcomes Baby 's initial resistance . Billy and Penny insist that Johnny can teach anyone to dance . Johnny begins to teach Baby the mambo , and the two spend several awkward practice sessions together . Baby gradually begins to improve , and a romantic attraction grows between them . An iconic scene from the dancing finale Billy takes Penny to a traveling abortionist while Baby and Johnny perform at the Sheldrake Hotel . Their performance is mostly successful , although Baby is too nervous to accomplish the dance 's climactic lift . Johnny and Baby return to Kellerman 's and find Penny in agony . Billy explains that the `` doctor '' turned out to be a back - alley hack who caused severe damage to Penny . Baby brings her father to help Penny , but when Jake asks point blank , `` Who 's responsible for this girl ? '' , Johnny replies `` I am '' , claiming responsibility out of fear that Penny will be fired if it gets out that she slept with Robbie . Jake treats Penny , but is angry that Baby used his money to pay for the procedure , and forbids Baby to associate with Johnny or his friends . Baby goes to Johnny to apologize for her father 's behavior . They dance , and afterwards have sex . Jake tells his family they 'll be leaving early over breakfast . Marjorie says they are paid up til Sunday and Lisa protests , because she wants to sing at the end - of - season talent show . Jake gives in , and Baby continues to see Johnny despite her father 's warning . She pulls Johnny off the footpath when her father is nearby , and Johnny is hurt that she wo n't stand up for him to her father . Robbie sees them during their argument and makes a derisive remark about `` going slumming '' with the staff . Johnny assaults him . Due to his growing feelings for Baby , Johnny refused payment for sex with another Kellerman 's guest , `` bungalow bunny '' Vivian Pressman . Vivian takes Robbie for sex in his cabin , which is accidentally interrupted by Lisa , who told Baby that she was intending to have sex with Robbie . When Vivian leaves the cabin the next morning , she discovers Baby leaving Johnny 's cabin after . Later in the morning over breakfast , Max and Neil Kellerman reveal to the Housemans that Moe Pressman 's wallet was stolen while he was playing a card game with other guests . Vivian accuses Johnny of the theft in a fit of her jealousy over Johnny 's rejection . Johnny is unable to provide a verifiable alibi , in order to protect his relationship with Baby . To save Johnny from being fired , Baby confesses that Johnny did not commit the theft because she was with him in his cabin that night . Johnny is cleared of the theft after it is revealed that two elderly guests , Mr. and Mrs. Schumacher , stole Moe 's wallet along with wallets of other guests . Max fires Johnny anyway for having a fraternizing affair with Baby . Baby and Johnny embrace and bid farewell to each other , saying they 'll never regret their affair , despite her father 's objections . Baby pointedly apologizes to Jake for lying about her relationship with Johnny , but not for the relationship itself . Baby and her parents watch the end - of - season talent show . Jake bids farewell to Robbie , and gives him a recommendation letter for medical school . Robbie thanks Jake , willingly reveals that he got Penny pregnant and insults her and Baby , which leads Jake to yank the letter back . Staff and guests ( including Lisa ) of Kellerman 's are singing the closing song together when the door opens and Johnny walks in . He 's returned to do the last dance of the season . Johnny leads Baby onstage , interrupting the show which is already in progress . He makes a brief speech about how `` Frances '' has made him a better man . Baby and Johnny dance a more provocative version of their mambo duet , and the other `` dirty dancers '' join in . Baby runs to Johnny and executes the elusive lift move they 'd practiced . The dirty dancers pull guests from their seats to join in the celebration . Jake apologizes to Johnny for thinking he got Penny pregnant , and reconciles with Baby . The film ends with the entire cast dancing joyously to `` ( I 've Had ) The Time of My Life '' .

Production ( edit ) Pre-production ( edit ) Dirty Dancing is based in large part on screenwriter Eleanor Bergstein 's own childhood : she is the younger daughter of a Jewish doctor from New York , spent summers with her family in the Catskills , participated in `` Dirty Dancing '' competitions , and was herself nicknamed `` Baby '' as a girl . In 1980 , Bergstein wrote a screenplay for the Michael Douglas film , It 's My Turn . However , the producers cut an erotic dancing scene from the script , much to her dismay . She then conceived a new story , focused almost exclusively on dancing . In 1984 , she pitched the idea to MGM executive Eileen Miselle , who liked it and teamed Bergstein with producer Linda Gottlieb . They set the film in 1963 , with the character of Baby based on Bergstein 's own life , and the character of Johnny based on the stories of Michael Terrace , a dance instructor whom Bergstein met in the Catskills in 1985 while she was researching the story . She finished the script in November 1985 , but management changes at MGM put the script into turnaround , or limbo . Bergstein then shopped the script around to other studios but was repeatedly rejected , until she brought it to Vestron Pictures , the newly formed studio division of Stamford , Connecticut , based Vestron Inc. , the leading independent home video distribution company . While honing their pitch to Vestron , Gottlieb and Bergstein chose Emile Ardolino as the film 's director , who had won the 1983 Academy Award for the documentary , He Makes Me Feel Like Dancin ' . Ardolino had never directed a feature film , but was extremely passionate about the project ; he even sent a message from where he was sequestered on jury duty , insisting that he was the best choice as director . The team of Gottlieb , Bergstein , and Ardolino then presented their vision for the film to Vestron 's president , Jon Peisinger , and the company 's vice president for production , Mitchell Cannold . By the end of the meeting , Peisinger had greenlighted the project to become Vestron 's first feature film production . The approved film was budgeted at the relatively low amount of $5 million , at a time when the average cost for a film was $12 million . For choreographer , Bergstein chose Kenny Ortega , who had been trained by Gene Kelly . For a location , they did not find anything suitable in the Catskills ( as many of the resorts had been shut down at that point ) , so they decided on a combination of two locations : Lake Lure , North Carolina and the Mountain Lake Hotel near Newport , Virginia , and with careful editing made it look like all shooting was done in the same area . Casting ( edit ) Director Ardolino was adamant that they choose dancers who could also act , as he did not want to use the `` stand - in '' method that had been used with Flashdance ( 1983 ) . For the female lead of Frances `` Baby '' Houseman , Bergstein chose the 26 - year - old Jennifer Grey , daughter of the Oscar - winning actor and dancer Joel Grey ( e.g. , of the film Cabaret ( 1972 ) , who , like her father , was a trained dancer . They then sought a male lead , initially considering 20 - year - old Billy Zane , who had the visual look desired ( originally the Johnny character was to be Italian and have a dark exotic look ) , but initial dancing tests when he was partnered with Grey did not meet expectations . The next choice was 34 - year - old Patrick Swayze , who had been noticed for his roles in Grandview , U.S.A. ( 1984 ) and Red Dawn ( 1984 ) . He was a seasoned dancer , with experience from the Joffrey Ballet . The producers were thrilled with him , but his agent was opposed to the idea . However , Swayze read the script , liked the multi-level character of Johnny , and took the part anyway , and Johnny was changed from being Italian to Irish . Grey was initially not happy about the choice , as she and Swayze had difficulty getting along on Red Dawn , but when they did their dancing screen test , the chemistry between them was obvious . Bergstein described it as `` breathtaking '' . Other casting choices were Broadway actor Jerry Orbach as Dr. Jake Houseman , Baby 's father ; and Jane Brucker as Lisa Houseman , her older sister . Bergstein also attempted to cast her friend , sex therapist Dr. Ruth Westheimer , to play Mrs. Schumacher , and Joel Grey as her husband . However , Westheimer backed out when she learned the role involved being a thief . The role went instead to 79 - year - old Paula Trueman , and Joel Grey was not cast . Another role went to Bergstein 's friend , New York radio personality `` Cousin Brucie '' . She initially wanted him to portray the social director but then later asked him to play the part of the magician . The role of the social director went to the then unknown Wayne Knight ( of later Seinfeld and 3rd Rock from the Sun fame ) . The part of Baby 's mother was originally given to Lynne Lipton , who is briefly visible in the beginning , when the Houseman family first pulls into Kellerman 's ( she is in the front seat for a few seconds ; her blonde hair is the only indication ) , but she became ill during the first week of shooting and was replaced by actress Kelly Bishop , who had already been cast to play Vivian Pressman , the highly sexed resort guest . Bishop moved into the role of Mrs. Houseman , and the film 's assistant choreographer Miranda Garrison took on the role of Vivian . Filming ( edit ) A typical family resort in the Catskill Mountains Principal photography for Dirty Dancing took place in Lake Lure , North Carolina , and Mountain Lake , Virginia . Scenes in Lake Lure were filmed at the old Boys Camp , which is now a private , residential community known as Firefly Cove . These scenes included the interior dancing scenes , Baby carrying the watermelon and practicing on the signature stairs , Johnny 's cabin , the staff cabins , the golf scene where Baby asks her father for $250 . Scenes filmed at Mountain Lake included the famous `` water lift '' scene , dining scenes , Kellerman 's Hotel , the beach games , Penny crying in the kitchen , and the Houseman family 's cabins . The tight schedule allowed only two weeks for rehearsal and 44 days for filming , as it was already the tail end of summer . The cast stayed in the same hotel at Mountain Lake Lodge in Pembroke , Virginia and at the 1927 Lake Lure Inn & Spa in Lake Lure , N.C. Rehearsals quickly turned into disco parties involving nearly every cast member , even non-dancers such as Jack Weston . The dancing and drinking went on almost non-stop and , immersed in the environment , the lead actors , Grey and Swayze , began identifying with their characters . Bergstein built upon this , encouraging the actors to improvise in their scenes . She also built the sexual tension by saying that no matter how intimate or `` grinding '' the dance steps , that none of the dancers were to have any other kind of physical contact with each other for the next six months . Filming started on September 5 , 1986 but was plagued by the weather , which ranged from pouring rain to sweltering heat . The outside temperature rose to 105 ° F ( 41 ° C ) , and with all the additional camera and lighting equipment needed for filming , the temperature inside could be as high as 120 ° F ( 49 ° C ) . According to choreographer Kenny Ortega , on one day 10 people passed out within 25 minutes of shooting . The elderly Paula Trueman collapsed and was taken to the local emergency room to be treated for dehydration . Patrick Swayze also required a hospital visit ; insisting on doing his own stunts , he repeatedly fell off the log during the `` balancing '' scene and injured his knee so badly he had to have fluid drained from the swelling . Delays in the shooting schedule pushed filming into the autumn , which required the set decorators to spray - paint the autumn leaves green . The uncooperative weather then took a different turn , plunging from oppressive heat to down near 40 ° F ( 4 ° C ) , causing frigid conditions for the famous swimming scene in October . The crew wore warm coats , gloves , and boots . Swayze and Grey stripped down to light summer clothing , to repeatedly dive into the cold water . Despite her character 's enjoyment , Grey later described the water as `` horrifically '' cold , and she might not have gone into the lake , except that she was `` young and hungry '' . Relations between the two main stars varied throughout production . They had already had trouble getting along in their previous project , Red Dawn ( 1984 ) , and worked things out enough to have an extremely positive screen test , but that initial cooperation soon faded , and they were soon `` facing off '' before every scene . There was concern among the production staff that the animosity between the two stars would endanger the filming of the love scenes . To address this , producer Bergstein and director Ardolino forced the stars to re-watch their initial screen - tests -- the ones with the `` breathtaking '' chemistry . This had the desired effect , and Swayze and Grey were able to return to the film with renewed energy and enthusiasm . Director Ardolino encouraged the actors to improvise and often kept the cameras rolling , even if actors went `` off script '' . One example of this was the scene where Grey was to stand in front of Swayze with her back to him and put her arm up behind his head while he trailed his fingers down her arm ( similar to the pose seen in the movie poster ) . Though it was written as a serious and tender moment , Grey was exhausted , found the move ticklish , and could not stop giggling each time Swayze tried it , no matter how many takes Ardolino asked for . Swayze was impatient to finish the scene and found Grey 's behavior annoying . However , the producers decided the scene worked as it was and put it into the film , complete with Grey 's giggling and Swayze 's annoyed expression . It became one of the most famous scenes in the movie , turning out , as choreographer Kenny Ortega put it , `` as one of the most delicate and honest moments in the film . '' Post-production ( edit ) The shooting wrapped on October 27 , 1986 , both on - time and on - budget . No one on the team , however , liked the rough cut that was put together , and Vestron executives were convinced the film was going to be a flop . Thirty - nine percent of people who viewed the film did not realize abortion was the subplot . In May 1987 , the film was screened for producer Aaron Russo . According to Vestron executive Mitchell Cannold , Russo 's reaction at the end was to say simply , `` Burn the negative , and collect the insurance . '' Further disputes arose over whether a corporate sponsor could be found to promote the film . Marketers of the Clearasil acne product liked the film , seeing it as a vehicle to reach a teen target audience . However , when they learned the film contained an abortion scene , they asked for that part of the plot to be cut . As Bergstein refused , the Clearasil promotion was dropped . Consequently , Vestron promoted the film themselves and set the premiere on August 16 , 1987 . The Vestron executives had planned to release the film in theaters for a weekend , and then send it to home video , since Vestron had been in the video distribution business before film production . Considering how many people disliked the film at that point , producer Gottlieb 's recollection of her feelings at the time was , `` I would have only been grateful , if when it was released , people did n't yell at me . '' Reception ( edit ) Critical response ( edit ) The film received positive reviews from critics . Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes gave the film a score of 72 % based on reviews from 57 critics , with a rating average of 6.1 out of 10 . For the film 's opening , the August 16 , 1987 edition of The New York Times published a major review , with a headline reading , `` Dirty Dancing Rocks to an Innocent Beat . '' The Times reviewer called the film `` a metaphor for America in the summer of 1963 -- orderly , prosperous , bursting with good intentions , a sort of Yiddish - inflected Camelot . '' Other reviews were more mixed : Gene Siskel gave the film a `` marginal Thumbs Up '' as he liked Jennifer Grey 's acting and development of her character , while Roger Ebert gave it `` Thumbs Down '' due to its `` idiot plot '' , calling it a `` tired and relentlessly predictable story of love between kids from different backgrounds . '' TIME magazine was lukewarm , saying , `` If the ending of Eleanor Bergstein 's script is too neat and inspirational , the rough energy of the film 's song and dance does carry one along , past the whispered doubts of better judgment . '' In a retrospective review , Jezebel 's Irin Carmon called the film `` the greatest movie of all time '' as `` a great , brave movie for women '' with `` some subtle , retrospectively sharp - eyed critiques of class and gender . '' Abortion rights advocates have called the film the `` gold standard '' for cinematic portrayals of abortion , which author Yannis Tzioumakis described as offering a `` compassionate depiction of abortion in which the woman seeking an abortion was not demonized with the primary concerns being her health and preserving her capacity to bear children at a future time rather than the ethical dilemma that might or might not inform her decision , a portrayal that is not necessarily available in current films . '' The film drew adult audiences instead of the expected teens , with viewers rating the film highly . Many filmgoers , after seeing the film once , went right back into the theater to watch it a second time . Word - of - mouth promotion took the film to the number one position in the United States , and in 10 days it had broken the $10 million mark . By November , it was also achieving international fame . Within seven months of release , it had brought in $63 million domestically and boosted attendance in dance classes across America . It was one of the highest - grossing films of 1987 , earning $170 million worldwide . The film 's popularity continued to grow after its initial release . It was the number one video rental of 1988 and became the first film to sell a million copies on video . When the film was re-released in 1997 , ten years after its original release , Swayze received his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame , and videos were still selling at the rate of over 40,000 per month . As of 2005 , it was selling a million DVDs per year , with over ten million copies sold as of 2007 . A May 2007 survey by Britain 's Sky Movies listed Dirty Dancing as number one on `` Women 's most - watched films '' , above the Star Wars trilogy , Grease , The Sound of Music , and Pretty Woman . The film 's popularity has also caused it to be called `` the Star Wars for girls . '' An April 2008 article in Britain 's Daily Mail listed Dirty Dancing as number one on a list of `` most romantic movie quotes ever '' , for Baby 's line : `` I 'm scared of walking out of this room and never feeling the rest of my whole life the way I feel when I 'm with you . '' The film 's music has also had considerable impact . The closing song , `` ( I 've Had ) The Time of My Life '' , has been listed as the `` third most popular song played at funerals '' in the UK .

When it came time to select actual music for the film , Vestron chose Jimmy Ienner as music supervisor . Ienner , who had previously produced albums and songs for John Lennon and Three Dog Night , opted to stick with much of the music that had already been used during filming and obtained licenses for the songs from Bergstein 's collection . He also enlisted Swayze to sing the new song `` She 's Like the Wind '' . Swayze had written the song a few years earlier with Stacy Widelitz , originally intending for it to be used in the film Grandview , U.S.A. ( 1984 ) . John Morris composed the film 's score . The lyrics for the Kellermans ' song that closes the talent show were written specifically for the film and were sung to the tune of `` Annie Lisle '' , a commonly used theme for school alma maters . Kenny Ortega and his assistant Miranda Garrison chose the song for the finale by going through an entire box of tapes , listening to each one . According to Ortega , literally the last tape they listened to had `` The Time of My Life '' , which they saw as the obvious choice . Ienner then insisted that Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes record it . The song won the 1988 Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group , an Academy Award for Best Original Song , and the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song . The film 's soundtrack started an oldies music revival , and demand for the album caught RCA Records by surprise . According to Franke Previte , before a single had even been released , there were a million albums on back - order . The Dirty Dancing album spent 18 weeks at number one on the Billboard 200 album sales charts and went platinum eleven times , selling more than 32 million copies worldwide . It spawned a follow - up multi-platinum album in February 1988 , entitled More Dirty Dancing . Songs from the album which appeared on the charts included : `` ( I 've Had ) The Time of My Life '' , performed by Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes , composed by Franke Previte , John deNicola , and Donald Markowitz -- this song rose to # 1 on the pop charts . `` She 's Like the Wind '' , performed by lead actor Patrick Swayze , composed by Lee and Stacy Widelitz ; this song peaked at # 3 in 1988 . `` Hungry Eyes '' , performed by Eric Carmen , composed by Franke Previte and John deNicola ; this song peaked at # 4 in 1988 . `` Yes '' , performed by Merry Clayton , composed by Neal Cavanaugh , Terry Fryer and Tom Graf ; this song peaked # 45 in 1988 . Additionally , the resurgence in popularity of the oldies contained in the movie led to a re-release of The Contours ' single `` Do You Love Me '' . `` Do You Love Me '' was featured in the movie but was omitted from the original soundtrack ; it was included on More Dirty Dancing . Upon being re-released , `` Do You Love Me '' became a surprise hit all over again , this time peaking at # 11 ( it originally hit # 3 back in 1962 ) . Legacy ( edit ) The iconic scene where Johnny says `` Nobody puts Baby in a corner . '' As for the studio , despite the film 's huge monetary success , Vestron followed it up with a series of flops and ran out of money . Vestron 's parent company , Vestron Inc. , went bankrupt in 1989 , and was bought out in January 1991 by LIVE Entertainment for $26 million . The rights to Dirty Dancing now rest with Lionsgate Entertainment , which purchased Artisan Entertainment in 2003 . Orbach , already known as a successful Broadway actor , continued in different genres . He was the voice of the candelabrum `` Lumiere '' in the Disney animated film Beauty and the Beast ( 1991 ) , before taking on his best known role , detective Lennie Briscoe in the TV crime drama Law & Order , which he played from 1992 until his death in 2004 . Choreographer Ortega went on to choreograph and direct other major pictures such as Newsies ( 1992 ) and starting in 2006 , the High School Musical series . He also became a director of film and television , including several episodes of Gilmore Girls , in which Dirty Dancing 's Kelly Bishop had a starring role . Lake Lure celebrated its Dirty Dancing legacy in the 1980s with the Dirty Dancing Revue featuring the A-Lure Dancers , soul singer Maurice Williams ( whose song `` Stay '' was featured in the film ) , and Billy Scott and the Party Prophets . Today , Lake Lure hosts the annual Dirty Dancing Festival . Kellerman 's Hotel is the Mountain Lake Hotel , and it now offers `` Dirty Dancing Weekends '' . Various images and lines from the film have worked their way into popular culture . Johnny Castle 's line , `` Nobody puts Baby in a corner '' , has been used in song lyrics , as the title of the `` Nobody Puts Baby in a Corner '' episode of the TV series Veronica Mars , and as the title of a Fall Out Boy song . `` Nobody puts Baby in a corner '' was also quoted in Supernatural : when Dean says the line concerning his beloved Impala and his brother Sam retorts that the line is from a Swayze movie ; Dean responds : `` Swayze always gets a pass '' . The line was parodied in the webcomic Looking for Group where Richard , one of the primary characters , uttered a variation involving his own name , and in Family Guy , where the scene is parodied by Baby 's parents questioning Johnny due to her youth . In Sweden , feminist art group Sisters of Jam put the text `` Nobody puts Baby in a corner '' ( in English ) in white neon light at Umeå Bus Square ( 2008 ) and at Karlstad University ( 2012 ) . Family Guy also parodies the scene where Baby first sees Johnny dancing with the staff . In the TV series How I Met Your Mother , Barney Stinson attempts to pass off the Dirty Dancing story as the story of his own loss of virginity because he is ashamed of his actual story ; the original `` Love is Strange '' scene is shown with Barney replacing Johnny . The French film Heartbreaker ( 2010 ) pays homage to the film , as a plot detail , with some clips from the film shown and a `` recreation '' by the two main characters of the `` lift '' scene . In the first episode of the TV series New Girl , the female lead Jess watches the film repeatedly after her break up . Since 2009 , there has been a Dirty Dancing Festival in Lake Lure , North Carolina . Alternate versions ( edit ) Stage version ( edit ) The film was adapted for the stage in 2004 as a musical , Dirty Dancing : The Classic Story on Stage . Produced by Jacobsen Entertainment in Australia for $6.5 million , it was written by Eleanor Bergstein and had the same songs as the film , plus a few extra scenes . Musical direction was by Chong Lim ( one of the composers for the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney ) , and the initial production starred Kym Valentine as Baby and Sydney Dance Company 's Josef Brown as Johnny . Although reviews were mixed , the production was a commercial success , selling over 200,000 tickets during its six - month run . It has also had sellout runs in Germany and in London 's West End , where it opened at the Aldwych Theatre on October 23 , 2006 with the highest pre-sell in London history , earning £ 6 million ( $ US12 million ) . As of March 2011 , over 1 million people have seen the musical in London , selling out 6 months in advance . The original West End production closed in July 2011 after a five - year run , prior to a two - year national tour . The show returned to the West End at the Piccadilly Theatre and ran from July 13 , 2013 to February 22 , 2014 before resuming its tour of the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland . A New York production was in the planning stage in 2006 , with the show first starting in other North American cities . It broke box office records in May 2007 for its first such venue , selling $2 million on the first day of ticket sales in Toronto , Ontario , Canada . The production opened on November 15 , 2007 at the Royal Alexandra Theatre , with an all - Canadian cast , except for Monica West ( Baby Housman ) , Britta Lazenga ( Penny ) , and Al Sapienza ( Jake Housman ) . After Toronto , the musical opened in Chicago in previews on September 28 , 2008 and officially on October 19 , 2008 , running through January 17 , 2009 , followed by Boston ( February 7 -- March 15 , 2009 ) and Los Angeles . An official American tour began in September 2014 at The National Theatre in Washington , DC with dates scheduled in 31 cities . Previews started August 26 and the official opening night was on September 2 . Tours and TV show ( edit ) Dirty Dancing has appeared in other forms than the stage version . In 1988 , a music tour named Dirty Dancing : Live in Concert , featuring Bill Medley and Eric Carmen , played 90 cities in three months . Also in 1988 , the CBS network launched a Dirty Dancing television series , however with none of the original cast or staff . The series was canceled after only a few episodes . Prequel ( edit ) In 2004 , a prequel of the film was released , entitled Dirty Dancing : Havana Nights . It tells the story of a sheltered American teenager learning about life through dance , when her family relocates to Havana , Cuba just before the 1959 Cuban Revolution . Swayze was paid $5 million to appear in a cameo role as a dance teacher -- considerably more than the $200,000 he earned for the first film . 20th anniversary releases ( edit ) For the 20th anniversary in 2007 , the film was re-released in theatres with additional footage , while the original film version was re-released on DVD with deleted scenes , and included writer commentary . At the same time , Codemasters released Dirty Dancing : The Video Game . In the United Kingdom , the anniversary was marked by a reality TV show based on the film ; titled Dirty Dancing : The Time of Your Life , the TV show was filmed at the Mountain Lake resort . In the UK , to mark the 20th anniversary of the film , Channel Five broadcast a special documentary called Seriously Dirty Dancing . It was presented by Dawn Porter , an investigative journalist and a self - confessed Dirty Dancing addict . The documentary was very successful , being Channel Five 's highest rated documentary of 2007 . Porter visited the set of the film , met other Dirty Dancing fanatics , and learned the last dance , which she performed at the end of the documentary in front of family and friends . Remake ( edit ) Main article : Dirty Dancing ( 2017 film ) In August 2011 , Lionsgate , who owns the film rights , announced their plan to remake the film . It was confirmed that the studio had hired the film 's choreographer , Kenny Ortega , to direct . `` We believe that the timing could n't be better to modernize this story on the big screen , and we are proud to have Kenny Ortega at the helm , '' Joe Drake , president of Lionsgate 's Motion Picture Group , explained about the project . A miniseries version of `` Dirty Dancing '' had been scheduled to be shot in Western North Carolina . As of July 29 , 2015 , the miniseries has been put on hold . In December 2015 , ABC ordered a three - hour musical remake of Dirty Dancing , starring Abigail Breslin , Colt Prattes , Debra Messing , Sarah Hyland , Nicole Scherzinger , Billy Dee Williams & Shane Harper . It aired on May 24 , 2017 . It received negative reviews from a majority of critics . References ( edit ) Jump up ^ `` DIRTY DANCING ( 15 ) '' . British Board of Film Classification .
