Graham preached in person to more people than anyone else who has ever lived.
Until 2002, Graham's lifetime audience with radio and television broadcast was more than two billion people.
Graham met every United States President since Harry S. Truman.
He received many honors including the Congressional Gold Medal and the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Graham was born on a dairy farm near Charlotte, North Carolina.
His mother and father Morrow Coffey and William Franklin Graham managed the farm.
They were devout Christians and Graham's mother had a big influence on his faith.
In 1933 Graham's father forced Graham and his sister Catherine to drink beer until they vomited.
This made them hate alcohol for the rest of their lives.
The Billy Graham Center says Graham was converted in 1934 during a revival meeting in Charlotte led by local evangelist Mordecai Ham.
However, he did not become a member of a local youth group because he was "too worldly".
After graduating from Sharon High School in May 1936 Graham went to Bob Jones College (now called Bob Jones University).
In his first year of college, he found both the schoolwork and rules too hard.
As a result, he almost had to leave school, but Bob Jones, Sr.,
the founder of the college, said that in doing that, he would throw his life away.
He told Graham, "At best, all you could amount to would be a poor country Baptist preacher somewhere out in the sticks... You have a voice that pulls.
God can use that voice of yours.
He can use it mightily."
While he was at college, Graham would often take a canoe to a little island in the river.
On that island he would preach to the birds, alligators, and cypress stumps.
In 1937, Graham transferred to the Florida Bible Institute (now Trinity College of Florida) where the Florida College in Temple Terrace, Florida now stands.
Graham later transferred to Wheaton College and in 1943, graduated from Wheaton in Illinois with a degree in anthropology.
While he was at Wheaton College, Graham decided to take the Bible as the perfect Word of God.
He accepted this as truth at the Forest Home Christian camp (now called Forest Home Ministries), southeast of the Big Bear area in Southern California.
A memorial is there showing where Graham first made this choice.
In 1946, Graham married a girl who was in a class with him, Ruth Bell.
Her parents were Presbyterian missionaries in China.
Her father, L. Nelson Bell, worked as a surgeon there.
When talking about Bell, Graham said "She looked at me and our eyes met and I felt that she was definitely the woman I wanted to marry."
Ruth said that he wanted to please God more than any man she had ever met.
They married two months after they graduated from college.
After marriage, they lived in a log cabin that she had made.
Ruth died on June 14, 2007, at age 87.
They had five children together: Virginia (Gigi) Graham Foreman; Anne Graham Lotz; Ruth Dienert; Franklin Graham, and Ned Graham.
They also have 19 grandchildren and 28 great-grandchildren.
Graham became a Southern Baptist minister in 1939.
Then he took over and organized financing of the radio program "Songs in the Night".
Afterwards, he made the baritone, George Beverly Shea director of music in his ministry.
The program went well, but Graham left it in 1945.
He wished to be a chaplain in the armed forces, but after trying to get in, he came down with mumps, so he had to not enlist.
After some time, he recovered in Florida.
Then he started Youth for Christ with evangelist Charles Templeton.
He traveled all through the United States and Europe as an evangelist.
Hearst intervention
Graham held many revival meetings in Los Angeles in 1949.
These revivals are thought to be the time when Graham became a national religious figure.
This is because he got help from the powerful newspaper man William Randolph Hearst.
Many people believe that Hearst liked Graham for his love of his country.
It is also believed that he may have thought that Graham could help with his conservative, anti-communist views.
Hearst sent a telegram to his newspaper editors reading "Puff Graham" during Graham's late 1949 Los Angeles crusade.
Therefore, one could read much more about Graham now in Hearst's newspaper chain and national magazines.
That meant that his crusade event could run for eight full weeks — five weeks longer than planned.
Henry Luce put Graham on the cover of Time magazine in 1954.
Graham had missions in both London and the Madison Square Garden in 1957.
The London mission lasted 12 weeks and the New York mission was about 16 weeks.
He also led his first crusade in Australia in 1959.
Graham was the president of Northwestern College in Minnesota from 1948 to 1952.
He began many organizations, such as the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.
He also spoke against racial segregation during the 1960s.
Graham did not want to speak to segregated auditoriums.
He even once tore down ropes that had been put up to split the audience.
Graham paid bail money to get Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. out of jail.
That was during the 1960s American Civil Rights Movement.
He asked King to join him in the pulpit at the revival meeting at New York City in 1957.
During that 16-week tour, he was heard by many people, who came to hear him at Madison Square Garden, Yankee Stadium and the Times Square.
Because they became good friends, Graham was one of the few white people King let call him by his birth name "Michael".
During the Cold War, Graham was the first evangelist to speak behind the Iron Curtain.
During the Apartheid times, Graham would not go to South Africa until the government let all people sit together.
He finally preached his first crusade there in 1973, during which he taught that apartheid was not right.
Graham went to China, where his wife Ruth was born.
He also appeared in North Korea in 1992.
On September 14, 2001, shortly after the September 11 attacks, Graham led prayer at the Washington National Cathedral.
President George W. Bush went to this service.
On June 24, 2005, he began what he said would be his last North American crusade.
On the weekend of March 11 and March 12, 2006 Graham held the "Festival of Hope".
It was held in New Orleans, which was recovering from Hurricane Katrina.
Graham said that he had to retire because of his failing health.
He had had Parkinson's disease for about 15 years, as well as many other problems.
In August 2005, though weak, he used a walker to go to at the start of his library in Charlotte, North Carolina.
On August 18, 2007, Graham, aged 88, was treated for intestinal bleeding.
Graham preached Christianity to nearly 215 million people in more than 185 countries and territories.
He also preached to hundreds of millions more through television, videos, movie, and webcasts.
He went to over 41 evangelistic crusades.
He began this ministry in 1947, and kept doing it until recently.
He would often use a big area, such as a stadium, park, or a large street to speak at.
Groups of up to 5,000 people would often sing in choir at his meetings.
Graham would preach the gospel and then invite people to come forward.
In 1992, one-quarter of the 155,000 in his Moscow audience came for salvation upon his request.
In politics, Graham was a member of the Democratic Party, but changed to Republican during the presidency of his friend Richard Nixon.
Though he did not support people running on politics in general, he gave his support in some cases over the years.
Pastor to Presidents
Graham met every United States President since Harry Truman.
He became close friends with Vice-President Richard Nixon while on a golf course.
Dwight D. Eisenhower asked to see Graham while on his deathbed.
Graham also worked with Lyndon B. Johnson, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, the Bush family, and Barack Obama when he visited Rev. Graham at his home in Montreat, North Carolina where they “had a private prayer.”
Graham played golf with John F. Kennedy, even though Kennedy was a Roman Catholic.
Graham spent the last night of Johnson's presidency in the White House.
He was also there for the first night of Nixon's.
Nixon appeared at one of Graham's revivals in East Tennessee in 1970.
It had one of the biggest crowds ever to gather in Tennessee.
However, their friendship got weaker because Graham did not approve of Nixon's post-Watergate behavior.
They became better friends again.
Graham said at that time, "I'm out of politics."
When Graham went to the hospital in 1976, three Presidents called in one day to wish him well: former President Nixon, President Ford, and President-Elect Carter.
He was at the start of Reagan's presidency, and gave the speech at George H.W. Bush's presidency.
Bill Clinton went to one of Graham's New York revivals in 2005.
He also said that he had gone to Graham's revival as a boy in Little Rock, Arkansas, in 1959.
Graham spoke at many funerals over the years, but he was unable to do Reagan's on June 11, 2004, because of recent hip surgery.
Graham had been Reagan's first choice.
Bad health also kept Graham from doing the funeral of President Gerald R. Ford in Washington D.C., on January 2, 2007.
Foreign policy views
Graham spoke against communism.
He was in favor of the U.S. Cold War policy, including the Vietnam War.
However, in a 1999 speech, he talked about his relationship with the late North Korean dictator Kim Il-Sung.
He said that he was a "different kind of communist" and "one of the great fighters for freedom in his country against the Japanese."
Graham went on to say that even though he had never met Kim's son and former North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il, he had "exchanged gifts with him."
Graham gave a globe covered with doves to the North Korean Friendship Museum.
Agreement with Richard Nixon's antisemitism
In 1994, the people read in the diaries of H. R. Haldeman that Graham had talked with President Nixon about "Jewish domination of the media". (
H. R. Haldeman worked with Richard Nixon at the White House).
Because what Haldeman had written was different from things that Graham usually said in public, most Jewish groups did not really believe it.
Graham released a statement that he never spoke "publicly or privately about the Jewish people, including conversations with President Nixon, except in the most positive terms."
He said, "Those are not my words."
In 2002, however, "Richard Nixon tapes" showed that Graham had talked about it, in the 1970s.
This was like Haldeman had written.
On the tapes, Graham agreed with Nixon that Jews had control over the American media.
He called it a "stranglehold" in 1972.
Graham said "This stranglehold has got to be broken or the country's going down the drain."
When the videotapes were released, Graham said he was sorry for his remarks, saying, "although I have no memory of the occasion, I deeply regret comments I apparently made ... They do not reflect my views, and I sincerely apologize for any offense caused by the remarks."
He also said that "If it wasn't on tape, I would not have believed it.
I guess I was trying to please... I went to a meeting with Jewish leaders and I told them I would crawl to them to ask their forgiveness."
Ideas about women
In 1970, Graham said feminism was part of a society with fewer rules and that women did not want to compete with men.
He also said that a women should be a wife, mother, and homemaker.
This idea of the role of women was published in the Ladies' Home Journal.
Many people sent letters of protest.
The magazine added a section called "The New Feminism" after a sit-in protest at the Journal.
Graham was never alone with any woman except his wife.
This was called the Billy Graham rule.
Between 1950 and 1990, Graham appeared many times on Gallup's list of most admired people.
The United States Postal Service has said that he is one of the few Americans, along with the current President, who can get mail that simply says his name and country: "Billy Graham, America".
He received the "Congressional Gold Medal" from the United States Congress and the "Presidential Medal of Freedom" from Reagan, America's highest civilian honors.
President Bill Clinton and former Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole gave Graham the "Congressional Gold Medal" at a ceremony in Washington D.C., in 1996.
The George Washington Carver Memorial Institute has honoured his work to help make better relationships between people of different races.
In 1971, Graham's hometown of Charlotte held a "Billy Graham Day", to which President Richard Nixon came.
On May 30, 1999, Graham was invited to speak right before the Indianapolis 500.
On May 31, 2007, the $27 million Billy Graham Library was officially started in Charlotte.
Former Presidents Jimmy Carter, George H. W. Bush, and Bill Clinton came.
In 1990, the band "The Swirling Eddies" gave homage to Graham with its song "Billy Graham" on the album Outdoor Elvis.
Graham got the "Big Brother of the Year Award" for his work on behalf of children.
He also got the "Templeton Foundation Prize for Progress in Religion" and the Sylvanus Thayer Award for his commitment to "Duty, Honor, and Country."
The "Billy Graham Children's Health Center" in Asheville is named after him.
There is a special chair named after him at the Southern Baptist Samford University; the "Billy Graham Chair of Evangelism and Church Growth."

Daubechies wavelets are a family of orthogonal wavelets named after Belgian physicist and mathematician Ingrid Daubechies.
They are used in discrete wavelet transform.
Scale function coefficients (low pass filter in orthogonal filter banks) must satisfy following conditions ( is length of filter).
or  (then coefficients must be divided by factor of )
Vanishing moments
There is more than one solution (except case of ).
However, it is necessary to distinguish between low pass and high pass filter.
Wavelets are denoted like Dx, where x is either number of coefficients () or number of vanishing moments ().
First case of notation (number of coefficients) is more recent and more frequented (e.g. D8 is wavelet with 8 coefficients).
t = solve(
'h0*h0 + h1*h1 + h2*h2 + h3*h3 = 1',           % normalization
'h2*h0 + h3*h1 = 0',                           % orthogonality

Straight pool, also called 14.1 continuous or simply 14.1, is a pocket billiards (pool) game.
It was the common sport of championship competition until faster-playing games like nine-ball and to a lesser extent eight-ball became more popular.
This is the Classic game from the history of pool.
The game was especially popular in the United States, and was the subject of the classic 1961 film The Hustler.
In straight pool, the person shooting may attempt to pocket any ball on the table.
The aim of the game is to reach a set number of points.
The amount of points needed to win is agreed to before the game.
One point is scored for each ball pocketed legally (that is, without a foul).
A typical game might require a player to score 100 points.
This means that at least 100 balls must be pocketed to win.
In professional competition, straight pool is usually played to 150 points.
Straight pool is a call-pocket game.
This means that the player must call what pocket they mean to sink the ball into on every shot.
It does not matter how balls reach the pocket (Hole) .
As long as no foul is involved, and the balls goes into the pocket that is called, a point is scored.
Straight pool is well known in the United States, Europe, Japan and the Philippines, but the game has become more obscure elsewhere.
Probably the all-time greatest player (by professional statistics), Willie Mosconi, held the record high run, of 526 balls, which stood for 65 years until beaten by John Schmidt, who scored 626 points in a 2019 attempt to break Mosconi's record.
The first rack
In the first rack in straight pool (when you place all the balls together before the break), the fifteen object balls (the colored balls) are racked in a triangular frame, usually made from aluminum, wood, or plastic.
The center of the ball at the top of the rack is placed over the a spot on the table called the foot spot.
Traditionally, the 1 ball is placed at the rack's right corner, and the 5 ball is placed at the rack's left corner.
Other balls are placed randomly.
All the balls must touch their neighbors.
However, it is considered a courtesy by some players to place a striped ball at the front of the rack.
This is because the break is very important and it is believed that a striped ball is easier to hit very precisely.
In most pool games, pocketing a ball and spreading the balls is the aim on the break.
Straight pool is different.
In it, the goal on the first break shot is to leave the opponent with a "safety".
A safety means a situation where they opponent has no good shot.
The reason for this is because the call-pocket rule—the rule discussed earlier requiring the player to call the ball they intend to pocket—includes the break shot.
For that reason, if you break the balls hard, and even if you pocket many balls, you will not be able to go again unless you called one of those balls in a pocket and it goes into that pocket.
To perform a legal break, either a ball must be pocketed in a called pocket or the cue ball and at least two additional colored balls must touch rails.
If you do not succeed at one of these two options, the shot is a foul.
A foul on the first break results in a special penalty of a loss of 2 points.
In addition, the opponent has the choice of either accepting the table as it was left, or of having the balls re-racked and requiring the person who fouled on the break to repeat it.
All other fouls during the game have a penalty of a one point deduction.
This includes fouling on an intragame rack (a rack after the first rack, which are discussed later).
However, a third foul in a row at any time in a straight pool game results in a loss of 15 points.
When applying this rule, a foul on the initial break, though it is a loss of two points, is not counted as two fouls.
The 15 point deduction is in addition to the one point loss for each foul.
Thus, the first two fouls are a loss of one point each, and the third foul in a row is a loss of 16 points: 1 point for the foul, and 15 points for it being the third foul in a row.
Intragame racking
"Intragame racks" refers to all racks after the first rack.
As noted previously, straight pool is played to a specific number of points, normally far more than the 15 total points that can be made in the first rack.
For this reason, multiple intragame racks are necessary.
Intragame racking employs a separate set of rules from those in place at the game's start on the first rack.
To reach the point in time when an intragame rack is needed, the balls are played until only the cue ball and only one object ball remain on the table's surface.
At that time, if neither the cue ball or the fifteenth object ball remains in the rack area (or is interfering with racking in the rack area) the fourteen pocketed object balls are racked with no ball placed at the top of the rack, and the rack is placed so that if the top ball were in the rack, its center would be placed over the table's foot spot.
Play then continues with the cue ball shot from where it rested, and the fifteenth, non-racked object ball from where it rested prior to racking.
The name "14.1 continuous" is named after this racking method.
That is, that fourteen (14) racked object balls and one (.1) separate colored ball are left at the end of each intragame rack.
The shooter will then normally try to pocket the unracked fifteenth colored ball, and at the same time have the cue ball smash into the fourteen racked balls, spreading them so that later shots are available, and the player continue at the table.
A number of rules detail what must be done when one or both of the cue ball and fifteenth object ball are either in the rack area at the time an intragame rack is neeeded, or are so close to the intragame racking area, that the racking of the 14 balls cannot be done without moving one of them.
The rules also vary depending on whether the cue ball or fifteenth object ball are resting on the table's head spot.
These rules are shown on the following chart.
Note that in the chart the use of the word kitchen refers to the area behind the table's head string.

The general intelligence factor, often shortened to g, is a construct from psychology.
It is the common factor in intelligence tests.
It is the result of measuring intelligence in different ways.
Charles Spearman,  an early statistician and psychologist, found that school children's grades across unrelated subjects were strongly related to each other.
That is to say, children who were good at one area (such as reading) were also good in another area (such as math).
He then proposed that these relationships reflected the influence of a dominant factor, which he called g for "general" intelligence.
He developed a model where all variation in intelligence test scores can be explained by two factors.
The first is the factor specific to an individual mental task: the individual abilities that would make a person more skilled at one cognitive task than another.
The second is g, a general factor that governs performance on all cognitive tasks.
After 120 years of cognitive testing, gs central role is still a meaningful measure.
Other models have also been proposed, and there is significant controversy about g and its alternatives.
The White-tailed spider is a Lampona murina.
It is in the Lamponidae family.
The female is 16 mm long in body length while the male is only 12 mm long in body length.
Their habitat includes houses usually in crevices and sheds.
It eats other spiders but the black house spider is its main meal.
They like to come out at night.
When this spider bites a human, it could cause necrotising arachnidism.

There are many species in this genus, and the genus is split down into sub-genera.
Some do prefer places where there is rotting fruit.
The adults may feed on nectar, and may lay their eggs on or near decaying fruit.
The details differ greatly from species to species.
There are many species, and their distribution in world-wide.
In Britain alone more than 5000 species have been recorded.
The largest number of species is in the Hawaiian Islands.
One species of Drosophila in particular, D. melanogaster, was used in research in genetics research.
It is a common model organism in developmental biology.
The genus has more than 1,500 species, and has varied appearance, behaviour, and breeding habitats.
Other species which have been widely investigated include D. pseudoobscura (used by Dobzhansky in field research) and D. subobscura, used in the UK as a laboratory Drosophila.
Sturtevant at one time had 42 species of Drosophila in his lab for examination.
Drosophila vary widely in their reproductive capacity.
Those such as D. melanogaster that breed in large, scarce resources have ovaries that mature 10–20 eggs at a time, and can be laid together in one place.
Others, which breed in common but less nutritious places (such as leaves), may only lay one egg each day.
The eggs have one or more respiratory filaments near the front end; the tips of these extend above the surface and allow oxygen to reach the embryo.
Larvae feed not on vegetable matter but on the yeasts and microorganisms present on the decaying surface of leaves or fruits.
Development time varies widely between species (between seven and more than 60 days) and depends on factors such as temperature, breeding substrate, and crowding.
Related genera
Drosophila has a number of close relatives, and some may actually be within its genus.
Lordiphosa is a genus which is very similar to Drosophila.
Its origin seems to be in S.E. Asia, probably China or Sri Lanka.
Scaptomyza is a genus which has most probably evolved from Drosophila on the Hawaiian islands. "
The Hawaiian Drosophilidae are monophyletic".
There are a large number of species (at least 270 have been described).
This suggests the species evolved on some of the earlier islands in the Hawaiian chain which are no longer above water.

D. pseudoobscura
D. persimilis
