( October 2015 ) BMW 2 Series Overview Manufacturer BMW Body and chassis Class Compact car The BMW 2 Series is a compact car produced by BMW. The 2 Series has several different body styles. It is available as a compact coupé that replaced the 1 Series coupé, or as a convertible model that replaces the 1 Series convertible in the BMW lineup. There is also a new compact MPV body style, which BMW refers to as an Active Tourer. The 2 Series Active Tourer mechanicals are unrelated to the coupé and convertible models '. While it shares the 2 Series name, it is built on a totally different front wheel drive platform that is shared with the third generation MINI Cooper, dubbed UKL1. The 2 Series currently competes with new models from Audi and Mercedes - Benz, the A3 Sedan and the CLA Class, respectively, until BMW releases its own front wheel drive / all wheel drive compact sedan. In June 2015, BMW also released a seven seater 2 Series Gran Tourer.

{ "text": "Page orientation - wikipedia Page orientation Jump to : navigation, search This article does not cite any sources. Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. ( March 2010 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Page orientation is the right way in which a rectangular page is oriented for normal viewing. The two most common types of orientation are portrait and landscape. The specific word definition comes from the fact that a close - up portrait of a person 's face and upper body is more fitting for a canvas or photo where the height of the display area is greater than the width, and is more common for the pages of books. Landscape originally described artistic outdoor scenes where a wide view area is needed, but the upper part of the painting would be mostly sky and so is omitted. Page orientation is also used to describe the dymensions of a video display. The most common video display orientation is landscape mode, especially the 4 : 3 ratio, which is 4 units wide and 3 units tall, and the more recent 16 : 9 widescreen landscape display mode. Portrait screen orientation is also used for computer displays, though less commonly than landscape, and is the most popular orientation for mobile devices. Portrait is preferred for editing page - layout work, in order to view the entire page on the screen at once without wasted space along the sides, and for script - writing, legal work ( in drafting contracts etc. ), and other applications where it is useful to see a maximum number of lines of text. It is also common in public information displays. Contents ( hide ) 1 History 1.1 Computer displays 1.2 Video game displays 2 Modern display rotation methods 2.1 Rotation of CRT monitors 2.2 Rotation of LCD monitors 2.3 Rotation of projectors 3 External links History ( edit ) Computer displays ( edit ) This article possibly contains original research. Please improve it by verifying the claims made and adding inline citations. Statements consisting only of original research should be removed. ( January 2013 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The Xerox Alto portrait display Portrait mode was first used on the Xerox Alto computer, which was considered technologically well ahead of its time when the system was first developed. Xerox product marketers did not understand how revolutionary the system was, and the portrait display faded away while common landscape - display televisions were appropriated for use as an inexpensive early microcomputer display. The IBM DisplayWriter had a portrait monitor and keyboard with large backspace key, as it was designed for use in word processing instead of spreadsheets. Lanier, Wang, and CPT also made competing dedicated word processing computers with portrait modes. The height of the market for these computes was the late 1970s and early 1980s, prior to the introduction of the IBM PC. However, according to a long - time regional manager of the IBM personal computer division, speaking in confidence to the author of this entry in the mid-1980s, when the IBM PC was introduced, no portrait mode was made available for two reasons : ( 1 ) Top management did n't want the PC division to undermine the DisplayWriter product, ( 2 ) The computer was designed with spreadsheets and software development in mind, not word processing. Thus, it had a keyboard without a large backspace key at first, substituting a key widely used in computer software writing. Within a short period of time, the DisplayWriter and other dedicated word processors were no longer available. However, Portrait Display Labs leaped into this market niche, producing a number of rotating CRT monitors as well as software which could be used as a driver for many video cards. The later advent of the World Wide Web, whose pages are largely in portrait mode, failed to result in a widespread return to portrait displays. As of November 2011, for instance, HP no longer sells monitors in portrait mode, although they have a display stand which permits the user to attach two monitors and rotate either from landscape to display. When the Macintosh computer was introduced, WYSIWYG page layout using Aldus PageMaker became popular. The Macintosh rekindled interest in portrait displays, and the first portrait displays for it were developed by Radius Corporation. For the first computing devices a screen was built to operate in only portrait or landscape mode, and changing between orientations was not possible. Typically a custom video controller board was needed to support the unusual screen orientation, and software often needed to be custom - written in order to support the tall, narrow screen layout. As video display technology advanced, eventually the video display board was able to accommodate rotation of the display and a variety of differing resolutions and scan rates. After several years of producing the first Macintosh portrait display, Radius introduced the Radius Pivot CRT monitor, that could be freely rotated between landscape and portrait with automatic orientation changes done by the video controller. Rotation is now a common feature of modern video cards, and is widely used in tablet PCs ( many tablet devices can sense the direction of gravity and automatically rotate the image ), and by writers, layout artists, etc. Operating systems and drivers do not always support it ; for example, Windows XP Service Pack 3 conflicts with monitor rotation on many graphics cards using ATI 's Catalyst control software, Nvidia 's proprietary drivers for Linux do not support screen rotation unless manual changes are made to its configuration. Video game displays ( edit ) A Vectrex games console, with its portrait screen Portrait mode is popular with arcade games that involve a vertically oriented playing area, such as Pac - Man and Donkey Kong. The vertical orientation allows greater detail along the vertical axis while conserving detail on the sides. Although the early Vectrex home console had a built - in, vertically - oriented screen, the majority of home games consoles were designed to interface with standard television sets, which use landscape orientation. As a consequence the conversion of early popular arcade games to home consoles was difficult, not only because the home computing capability was lower, but also the screen orientation was mismatched and the home user could not be expected to set their television on its side to show the game correctly. This is why most early home versions of arcade games have a wide, squashed appearance compared to the full - quality arcade versions. Modern arcade emulators are able to handle this difference in screen orientation by dynamically changing the screen resolution to allow the portrait oriented game to resize and fit a landscape display, showing wide empty black bars on the sides of the portrait - on - landscape screen. Portrait orientation is still used occasionally within some arcade and home titles ( either giving the option of using black bars or rotating the display ), primarily in the vertical shoot ' em up genre due to considerations of aesthetics, tradition and gameplay. Modern display rotation methods ( edit ) Many modern video cards offer digital screen rotation capabilities. But in order for it to be used correctly, a special rotating display is required that is designed to be pivoted. Rotation of CRT monitors ( edit ) Very few CRT monitors are designed to permit rotation into portrait mode. It is not wise to turn a standard CRT monitor or television on its side due to a number of technical issues : The cooling vents are normally designed for natural air convection flow from bottom to top ; turning the case sideways can lead to unintended heat buildup and component failure. The typical CRT monitor plastic case is not designed to sit stably when turned sideways without a custom - made supporting stand. The weight of a large CRT is typically meant to bear on the base frame. A plastic case may flex or crack if the CRT weight is supported only by the thin plastic surround. Rotation of LCD monitors ( edit ) Poor side - viewing image quality of an LCD monitor rotated into portrait orientation Good side - viewing image quality of a typical landscape LCD Rotation of LCD monitors is easier and less complicated to do since the mass of the panel is low, the heat generated is low, and there are no magnetic effects to be concerned about. Many higher quality panels feature built in pivot points to allow the user to easily rotate the screen into portrait mode. However, due to the light polarization technology an LCD monitor, particularly TN panels, the angle of image viewability will degrade when rotated. Liquid crystal displays vary in contrast when viewed from different angles along one axis. This axis is normally oriented to be vertical so that the image quality appears unchanged when the screen is viewed from the side, and image contrast is adjusted by tilting the panel up or down. By rotating the screen 90 degrees, the varying contrast axis is now horizontal and a viewer to one side will see a washed out light contrast image, while a viewer on the other side sees a very dark contrast image. Rotation of projectors ( edit ) Projectors can generally operate from any angle due to the compact, rigid design and a cooling system utilizing a forced - air fan. However, for large heavy projectors, the problem is how to mount the projector sideways since nearly all ceiling mounts assume the projector hangs down from the mount in an upside - down landscape position. Extra-heavy bracing or weighted counterbalancing may be required to support a projector in a sideways portrait orientation. Projectors using an Hg - lamp ( most of them, nowadays ) should not be turned sideways as this shortens the lifespan of the bulb extremely.

The National Football Conference ( NFC ) champion Philadelphia Eagles defeated the New England Patriots, 41 -- 33, winning their first Super Bowl and their first NFL title since 1960. The game was played on Sunday, February 4, 2018, at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States. It was the second time that a Super Bowl was played in Minneapolis, the northernmost city to ever host the event, after Super Bowl XXVI in the 1991 season, and the sixth Super Bowl held in a cold - weather city. New England finished the regular season with an AFC - best 13 -- 3 record, then extended their record Super Bowl appearances to ten, their third in four years, and their eighth under the leadership of head coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady. Philadelphia had an NFC - best 13 -- 3 record, but became underdogs entering the playoffs after starting quarterback Carson Wentz suffered a season - ending injury late in the regular season and was replaced by journeyman backup Nick Foles. Still, the Eagles advanced to their third Super Bowl appearance, having previously lost to the Oakland Raiders in Super Bowl XV and to the Patriots in Super Bowl XXXIX. Several records were set during Super Bowl LII, including most yards gained in an NFL game by both teams combined ( 1,151 ), the fewest punts from both teams in a Super Bowl ( one ), and the most points scored by a Super Bowl losing team ( 33 ). The game was settled after the Eagles converted a fumble recovery deep within Patriots territory to a field goal with 1 : 05 remaining to extend their lead to eight points, and Brady 's Hail Mary pass fell incomplete as time expired. With the loss, the Patriots became the first defending Super Bowl champions since the the 2014 Seattle Seahawks to lose in the following year 's title game. Foles, who completed 28 of 43 pass attempts for 373 yards and three touchdowns with one interception, and caught a one - yard touchdown pass, was named Super Bowl MVP. The broadcast of the game on NBC had the smallest Super Bowl audience in nine years, with an average of 103.4 million viewers. Average TV viewership for the halftime show, headlined by Justin Timberlake, was 106.6 million American television viewers, 9 percent less than Lady Gaga 's in the previous year Contents ( hide ) 1 Background 1.1 Host - city selection 1.2 Teams 1.2. 1 Philadelphia Eagles 1.2. 2 New England Patriots 1.3 Playoffs 1.4 Pre-game notes 1.4. 1 Operations 1.4. 2 Associated events 2 Broadcasting 2.1 United States 2.1. 1 Advertising 2.1. 2 Lead - out programs 2.2 International broadcasts 2.2. 1 Brazil 2.2. 2 Canada 2.2. 3 United Kingdom 2.2. 4 Germany 2.2. 5 France 2.2. 6 U.S. military bases 3 Entertainment 3.1 Pre-game 3.2 Halftime show 4 Game summary 4.1 First half 4.2 Second half 4.3 Game statistics 4.4 Box score 5 Final statistics 5.1 Statistical comparison 5.2 Individual statistics 6 Starting lineups 7 Officials 8 References 9 External links Background ( edit ) Host - city selection ( edit ) The U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where Super Bowl LII was held. On October 8, 2013, the league announced that three venues would vie to host Super Bowl LII : U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Minneapolis hosted Super Bowl XXVI in 1992 at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome, which was torn down after the 2013 season and replaced in 2014 and 2015 by U.S. Bank Stadium. Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana. The stadium hosted Super Bowl XLVI in 2012. Mercedes - Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. The city has hosted 10 Super Bowls, including seven at the Superdome, most recently Super Bowl XLVII in 2013. On May 20, 2014, the league 's owners picked Minneapolis at their meeting in Atlanta, Georgia. Teams ( edit ) The NFC was represented by the number - one playoff seed Philadelphia Eagles, while the AFC was represented by the number - one playoff seed New England Patriots, marking the fourth time in the previous five years that the Super Bowl had featured the top team from each conference. Philadelphia Eagles ( edit ) Main article : 2017 Philadelphia Eagles season Nick Foles in 2014. The Eagles finished the regular season with a record of 13 -- 3, the same as New England, Minnesota, and Pittsburgh, but the various tie - breaking provisions gave them the NFC 's top seed in the 2017 -- 18 NFL playoffs. It was a substantial improvement for the team under second - year head coach Doug Pederson ; the Eagles finished the two previous seasons with 7 -- 9 records. In the 2017 season, the team scored 457 points ( third in the NFL ), while giving up just 295 ( fourth ) points. The offense was led by Pro Bowl quarterback Carson Wentz. In just his second season, he recorded a passer rating of 101.9, throwing for 3,296 yards and 33 touchdowns, with only seven interceptions. His top target was Pro Bowl tight end Zach Ertz, who caught 74 passes for 824 yards and eight touchdowns. Other contributors were two receivers acquired from off - season free agency : Alshon Jeffery, who caught 57 passes for 789 yards and nine scores ; and Torrey Smith, who had 36 receptions for 430 yards. Meanwhile, third - year receiver Nelson Agholor had the best season of his career, hauling in 62 passes for 768 yards and eight touchdowns, a higher total in each category than in his previous two seasons combined. The Eagles rushing attack also benefited from two recently acquired players, LeGarrette Blount and Jay Ajayi. Blount, an off - season signing who won a Super Bowl with the Patriots, gained 776 rushing yards and two touchdowns, while Ajayi, picked up by a mid-season trade with the Miami Dolphins, rushed for 873 yards and caught 24 passes for 154 yards combined with the two teams. Philadelphia also had a superb offensive line, lead by two Pro Bowl selections : Tackle Lane Johnson and Guard Brandon Brooks. The Eagles defense allowed the fourth - fewest yards in the league ( 4,904 ). Defensive tackle Fletcher Cox made the Pro Bowl for the third time in his career, recording 5 ​ ⁄ sacks and two fumble recoveries, and he had plenty of help around him, such as former Patriots defensive end Chris Long, who had five sacks and forced four fumbles, and defensive end Brandon Graham, who led the team with 9 ​ ⁄ sacks. Middle linebacker Nigel Bradham led the team in combined tackles with 88. The Eagles secondary featured Pro Bowl safety Malcolm Jenkins, who had 76 combined tackles and two interceptions, along with cornerback Patrick Robinson, who led the team with four interceptions. Philadelphia had stormed to the top of the NFC by winning 10 of their first 12 games, but suffered a major setback on December 10, when Wentz went down with a season - ending ACL tear and was replaced by journeyman backup quarterback Nick Foles, who was playing for his third team in as many years and his second stint with the Eagles. Still, Foles was able to lead the team to victory in that game, as well as the next two. The Eagles would lose a meaningless week 17 matchup with the Cowboys led by third - string quarterback Nate Sudfeld. Then in their two playoff games, Foles threw for a combined total of 598 yards and three touchdowns, with no interceptions. New England Patriots ( edit ) Main article : 2017 New England Patriots season Tom Brady in 2016. The Patriots entered the 2017 NFL season as defending Super Bowl champions. For the 16th time in their 18 seasons under 65 - year old coach Bill Belichick, they recorded a double - digit win season, finishing the regular season with a record of 13 -- 3, one of four teams ( along with Philadelphia, Minnesota, and Pittsburgh ) with that record. By virtue of the tie - breaking procedures, they were granted the AFC 's number one overall seed in the 2017 -- 18 NFL playoffs. The previous season 's top wide receiver Julian Edelman went down in the preseason with a season - ending injury. Early season defensive struggles left the team with a 2 -- 2 record after four weeks, and the worst overall defense in the league at that point. The defense would come together as a unit, and tighten up over the rest of the season however, with the Patriots going 11 -- 1 after week 4. Their sole loss in the latter part of the season came in Week 14 to the Miami Dolphins, a division rival, though they were without star tight end Rob Gronkowski due to a one game suspension for an unnecessary roughness call the prior week. The Patriots ' defense was improved by several late - season free - agent signings, including Eric Lee, a defensive end, previously from the Buffalo Bills, whom the Patriots signed in Week 12, and James Harrison, a perennial All - Pro for the Pittsburgh Steelers, whom the Patriots picked up off waivers after Christmas. In just six games for New England, Lee recorded 3 ​ ⁄ sacks, a safety, and an interception. In his only regular season game with the Patriots, Harrison recorded two sacks. During the regular season, New England 's offense led the league in yards gained ( 6,307 ) and ranked second in points scored ( 458 ). The 40 - year - old Brady finished his 18th season with a league - leading 4,577 passing yards and 32 touchdowns to just eight interceptions, earning him his 13th selection to the Pro Bowl and his third league MVP award. One change which helped make up for the loss of Edelman would be the new acquisition of receiver Brandin Cooks, who caught 65 passes for 1,082 yards and seven touchdowns. Brady was also aided by the healthy return of Gronkowski, who had played just eight games in the previous season, finishing this year with 69 catches for 1,084 yards and eight scores. Receiver Danny Amendola added 61 receptions for 659 yards, as well as another 240 yards returning punts. With the loss of their previous season 's rushing leader LeGarrette Blount to free agency, Dion Lewis stepped up to take the lead, rushing for 896 yards and six touchdowns despite starting only eight games. He also caught 32 passes for 214 yards and two touchdowns, and added 570 yards and another touchdown returning kickoffs. Rex Burkhead chipped in 518 all - purpose yards, 30 receptions, and eight touchdowns. In passing situations, the team relied heavily on running back James White, who caught 56 passes for 429 yards and rushed for 171 on the ground. These backs were aided by the blocking of fullback James Develin, who earned his first Pro Bowl selection. On special teams, kicker Stephen Gostkowski ranked second in the NFL with 156 points and fourth in field goals made with 37, while veteran special team ace Matthew Slater earned his seventh consecutive Pro Bowl selection. The Patriots ' defense ranked only 29th in yards allowed ( 5,856 ), but ranked fifth in fewest points, giving up only 296. Defensive end Trey Flowers led the team with 6 ​ ⁄ sacks while also forcing two fumbles. Linebacker Kyle Van Noy had 73 tackles and 5 ​ ⁄ sacks. The Patriots also had a superb secondary, led by cornerbacks Malcolm Butler ( two interceptions, three forced fumbles ) and Stephon Gilmore ( two interceptions, 47 solo tackles ), as well as safeties Devin McCourty ( 97 combined tackles, one interception, one fumble recovery ), Patrick Chung ( 84 tackles, one interception, two fumble recoveries ) and Duron Harmon ( four interceptions ). Playoffs ( edit ) Main article : 2017 -- 18 NFL playoffs In the playoffs, the Patriots earned a first round bye and home - field advantage due to their status as the AFC 's first overall seed. In the divisional round, they defeated the Tennessee Titans 35 -- 14, as Brady passed for 337 yards and three touchdowns. In that game, the defense amassed eight quarterback sacks of Marcus Mariota and held the Titans ' running game to 65 yards rushing. They then defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars 24 -- 20 in the AFC Championship Game, rallying from behind to win the game after the Jaguars jumped out to an early 14 -- 3 lead and whose league - best defense stymied Brady and the rest of the offense for most of the first half. Down 20 -- 10 in the fourth quarter, the Patriots comeback was sealed by two Brady - led drives, both resulting in touchdown passes to Danny Amendola, as well as a key defensive stop by Stephon Gilmore, whose acrobatic block of a Blake Bortles pass ended Jacksonville 's last chance to score. Rob Gronkowski was injured in the game with a concussion, leaving his status for the Super Bowl in doubt. Amendola would be the breakout star for the Patriots during their two playoff wins, leading the team with 196 receiving yards, and serving as Brady 's primary target. Meanwhile, Philadelphia started off the divisional round by narrowly defeating the Atlanta Falcons 15 -- 10, by stopping the Falcons on four consecutive plays after they had a first - down - and - goal situation on the Eagles 9 - yard line during their final drive. They then soundly defeated the Minnesota Vikings 38 -- 7 in the NFC Championship Game. Despite the Vikings scoring on their opening drive, the Eagles defense held them to three punts, two turnovers on downs, two interceptions, and one lost fumble in their remaining drives of the game. Meanwhile, Foles had a great game in which he completed 26 of 33 passes for 353 yards and three touchdowns. Pregame notes ( edit ) This game was a rematch of Super Bowl XXXIX. Only one player, Patriots starting quarterback Tom Brady, remained on either roster from that contest. Bill Belichick, the Patriots ' head coach in that contest, also remained in that position. Two Eagles, running back LeGarrette Blount and defensive lineman Chris Long, had been Patriots in 2017 's Super Bowl LI. The Patriots were the designated home team for Super Bowl LII, because the AFC team is the designated home team in even - numbered years and the NFC team in odd - numbered years. As the designated home team, the Patriots chose to wear their road white jerseys with navy blue pants, becoming the sixth team to wear their white jerseys as the home team and the third team to wear white in back - to - back Super Bowls, following the Dallas Cowboys in Super Bowls XII and XIII and again in Super Bowls XXVII and XXVIII. The Eagles therefore wore their standard home uniform of midnight green jerseys with white pants. Twelve of the previous 13 Super Bowls had been won by teams wearing white jerseys. The last team to win a Super Bowl while wearing their home uniforms was the Green Bay Packers in Super Bowl XLV ( who, coincidentally, had also worn green jerseys. ) Operations ( edit ) Security prescreening at the Mall of America before boarding the Metro Blue Line to U.S. Bank Stadium. To coordinate the game and 10 days of events, the National Football League temporarily operated an events office within the Minnesota Vikings office building next to U.S. Bank Stadium. More than 150,000 visitors were expected to attend events associated with the Super Bowl over ten days. Among them were some 5,000 - plus media members ; media day events and press conferences were held at The Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota. No sales tax was collected on admission tickets to the game and related events, including parking. To increase security around U.S. Bank Stadium, the stadium 's light rail station was shut down for 48 hours before the game, and a nearby homeless shelter was temporarily moved beyond the security perimeter. The Blue Line of the light rail system was only open to ticketholders and passengers with a Gameday Pass, while the Green Line only ran to Stadium Village station on the University of Minnesota campus before continuing on with restricted access. Metro Transit ran shuttle buses between light rail stations, as well as regular bus service was moved for several weeks due to street closures. Thirty activist groups organized a rally and protest against police brutality, corporate greed, and racist practices. 17 people blocked the Green Line train for 90 minutes before the game, and 200 protesters blocked an entrance to the stadium 's security perimeter. Under a 1998 agreement, the Patriots and Eagles owners split the tickets, and the league controlled the game presentation and entertainment in the stadium. The Patriots practiced at the Minnesota Vikings facilities in Eden Prairie while the Eagles used the University of Minnesota. The Eagles got the Vikings ' locker room and sideline. The Vikings had advanced to the NFC Championship Game before losing to the Eagles ; until that point, the possibility of the Vikings advancing to the Super Bowl and thus becoming the first team to play the game in its home stadium was plausible. Had that happened, the Vikings would have used their own locker rooms and training facilities while the AFC champion would have used the University of Minnesota. Associated events ( edit ) Nicollet Mall hosted the outdoor Super Bowl Live festival during the lead - up to the game. The Minnesota Super Bowl Host Committee presented Super Bowl Live on Nicollet Mall in downtown Minneapolis.

In addition to the concert series, Super Bowl Live featured a 200 - foot ( 61 m ) American Birkebeiner International Bridge on Nicollet Mall to showcase cross-country skiing, skijoring, fat - tire bicycle racing, and snow tubing demonstrations. There was also a snowmobile stunt show on February 3. The NFL presented the Super Bowl Experience at the Minneapolis Convention Center from January 27 to February 3 with an entrance fee. Kelly Clarkson performed at the Minneapolis Armory and a U.S. Bank Stadium lounge on the day of the Super Bowl. The Minneapolis Armory also hosted Jennifer Lopez, Imagine Dragons, and Pink concerts close to U.S. Bank Stadium. Pink also performed the national anthem before the Super Bowl.

The Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community 's Mystic Lake Casino hosted Gwen Stefani, the Chainsmokers, Florida Georgia Line, and Kygo. Planners originally scheduled a 64,000 - square - foot ( 5,900 m ) traveling nightclub for 9500 people, but cancelled, moving its concerts into the main casino. Ellie Goulding 's appearance with Kygo was cancelled at the same time. The Mystic Lake Casino in Prior Lake, Minnesota, has the second - largest hotel in the Twin Cities metropolitan area, and Prior Lake hosted Super Bowl - week events including winter activities, a hotdish competition, and fundraisers. Other events were held at the Mall of America ( including Radio Row as a home for national shows ), Saint Paul 's RiverCentre and Xcel Energy Center, the Minnesota Vikings ' Winter Park location in Eden Prairie, and the University of Minnesota. `` Taste of the NFL '' is a fundraiser for food banks and was held in Saint Paul. Minneapolis also offered a temporary zip - line across the Mississippi River near downtown. The Luminary Loppet around Lake of the Isles in Minneapolis featured fire dancing, an ice pyramid, and luminary candles at night. The 2018 Saint Paul Winter Carnival took place leading up to, during and after the Super Bowl. Carnival organizers built a large ice palace to coincide with the Super Bowl festivities, as with Super Bowl XXVI in 1992. The ice palace was planned, cancelled for lack of funds, then re-announced with sponsors. Events in Saint Paul will also include an extreme sports demonstration, a `` giant slide '', and a block party. Officials in the capital city hoped to attract Minneapolis Super Bowl visitors. The Minneapolis Institute of Art had a free 20 - by - 40 - foot ( 6.1 m × 12.2 m ), 6 - foot - tall ( 1.8 m ) ice maze. The Great Northern was a winter festival in the Twin Cities from January 25 to February 4 which included the U.S. Pond Hockey Championships, an ice bar, and an `` urban ski competition ''. ESPN broadcast its studio programming from the IDS Center in downtown Minneapolis, while Golf Channel ( a sister network of Super Bowl LII broadcaster NBC ) aired two live episodes of David Feherty 's eponymous series from the State Theatre. Native American communities of Minnesota performed nightly drum ceremonies. Various drumlines from around the state performed at different locations throughout the day. Broadcasting ( edit ) United States ( edit ) NBC broadcast Super Bowl LII, as part of an annual cycle between the three main broadcast television partners of the NFL. NBC 's lead NFL team of play - by - play man Al Michaels and color analyst Cris Collinsworth called the game. Sister cable network Universo carried a full Spanish language broadcast produced by Telemundo Deportes, with Edgar Lopez and Rene Giraldo. The Universo Spanish audio was also available on NBC through the SAP channel, where available. This was the last game in Westwood One 's current national radio contract with the NFL. Each participating team 's flagship station ( the Patriots Radio Network 's WBZ - FM / Boston, and the Eagles Radio Network 's WIP - FM / Philadelphia, along with WEMG / Camden, New Jersey for Spanish play - by - play ) carried the game with local announcers. ( For the second consecutive year, none of the local flagships are clear - channel stations, and thus the local commentators were only audible for free within each respective team 's immediate metropolitan area ; listeners who live outside the flagship stations ' broadcast ranges were required to subscribe to Sirius XM Radio or TuneIn Premium to access the local broadcasts. ) Under the terms of the Westwood One contract, any radio station that is not a local flagship, if it is to carry the game, is required to utilize the Westwood One feed. It was the first title win called by Eagles play - by - play announcer Merrill Reese, who has been the primary radio voice of the team since 1977. Online streams of the game were provided by NBC. It was available on NBCSports.com, the NBC Sports app for mobile devices, tablets, connected - TV devices, and NBC.com without any required login. The Spanish - language broadcast was available on the Telemundo Deportes En Vivo app and TelemundoDeportes.com for desktop devices, connected TV devices, and tablets but not mobile devices. Under new digital rights deals that began with the 2017 -- 18 playoffs, Verizon still offers mobile streaming of games, but no longer holds exclusive rights to stream NFL games on smartphones or make them exclusive to Verizon Wireless subscribers. Instead, Verizon elected to use use the deal to bolster its recent acquisition of Yahoo! ; on January 9, 2018, Verizon announced that it would host streams of playoff games through the Yahoo! Sports and go90 app, including Super Bowl LII. As a result of the deal, the online stream was available to viewers on all Internet devices for the first time, regardless of network ( because of Verizon 's previous exclusive rights deal, non-Verizon phones had previously been blocked from receiving any NFL telecasts, regardless of source ). The game was also available through the NFL Mobile app with the aforementioned change to viewing through the app now being allowed on all mobile carriers. Dan Patrick and Liam McHugh served as the lead hosts for NBC 's pre-game coverage. Mike Tirico, who replaced the retiring Bob Costas in 2017 as NBC 's lead studio host for both the NFL and the Olympic Games, did not participate in coverage of Super Bowl LII due to his commitments to prepare for the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea ( which opened on the Friday following the game ). Nielsen reported a 47.4 / 70 % overnight rating in metered markets, peaking at 52.2 / 74 during the fourth quarter. These numbers are about 3 % lower than early numbers from Super Bowl LI, and the lowest since Super Bowl XLIV in 2010. Advertising ( edit ) Dan Lovinger, NBC Sports Group executive vice president of ad sales, stated to Variety in July 2017 that the network was seeking a price `` north of $5 million '' ( the price set for the previous two Super Bowls ) for a 30 - second commercial during Super Bowl LII. Taking advantage of the 2018 Winter Olympics that begins five days after the Super Bowl ( which will mark the first time since 1992 that a single broadcast network will air both the Super Bowl and Winter Olympics in the same year ), NBC disclosed plans to offer advertising packages that cover both Super Bowl LII and the Olympics. NBC estimated that it would bring in at least $1 billion in advertising revenue from the two events. During the second quarter, an equipment failure caused NBC 's broadcast to experience dead air for 30 seconds during a commercial break. No actual commercial time was lost. Anheuser - Busch has, as it has done in previous Super Bowls, purchased multiple commercials in the game, advertising Bud Light, Stella Artois and Michelob Ultra. For the first time since Super Bowl VIII, the company would downsize the appearances of the Budweiser Clydesdales in a Super Bowl commercial. However, a Clydesdale was featured in a commercial for Tide detergent and the Budweiser Clydesdales only appeared in a 5 - second Budweiser commercial to remind viewers of the `` ClydesdaleCam '' livestreaming event. Other signed advertisers included The Coca - Cola Company and Avocados from Mexico. Cellphone carrier T - Mobile aired a minute long ad with actress Kerry Washington narrating, featuring babies of various ethnic backgrounds. The commercial also features Nirvana 's song `` All Apologies '' played as a lullaby. In the ad, Washington talks about the babies being born with natural instincts of love and not racism calling them `` unstoppable '' and that they will demand fair and equal pay. T - Mobile CEO John Legere posted to his Twitter account afterwards saying, `` This year, we wanted to use our # SuperBowl airtime to share that @ TMobile believes we all started in the same place. We are more alike than different. And we are unstoppable. '' Fiat Chrysler subsidiary Ram Trucks was met with swift and harsh criticism for its use of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr 's sermon `` The Drum Major Instinct ''. Major news outlets and social media erupted in the controversy. Particularly disturbing to many viewers was the selective exploitation of King 's anti-consumerist, anti-advertising speech in an attempt to sell trucks. Lead - out programs ( edit ) NBC 's lead - out program was an episode of This Is Us, titled `` Super Bowl Sunday '', alongside a special episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon from Minneapolis ' Orpheum Theatre, with halftime performer Justin Timberlake, Dwayne Johnson, Chris Stapleton and the cast of This Is Us as guests. In a surprise move, Netflix used its advertising time to announce it had acquired the rights to The Cloverfield Paradox, the third film in the Cloverfield series, and would make it available immediately after the game, potentially undercutting viewership of the lucrative post-game slot on NBC. International broadcasts ( edit ) Brazil ( edit ) The Super Bowl was shown live by ESPN Brasil, with Paulo Antunes and Everaldo Marques as the announcers for the evening. It was also shown live on Cinemark, Cinépolis, Kinoplex and UCI movie theaters across the country. Canada ( edit ) The U.S. telecasts of Super Bowl LII were available through local U.S. broadcast stations that are carried on Canadian cable and satellite providers, as well as on border blasters near the International Boundary. The last appeals attempting to force simultaneous substitution, as had been allowed through Super Bowl 50 but had been repealed in 2016, over the telecasts were exhausted in December 2017. Bell Canada holds broadcast rights for local stations in Canada and aired the game across its networks on CTV, CTV Two, RDS ( for French ), TSN Radio and TSN2 ; TSN 's regional networks did not carry the game due to a schedule conflict with the 2018 Scotties Tournament of Hearts, the national women 's curling championship. Bell reprised the previous year 's usage of a sweepstakes and entertainment features to retain Canadian audiences. On RDS, the announcer was David Arsenault with Pierre Vercheval as analyst and Didier Orméjuste on the sidelines. United kingdom ( edit ) As per recent years, the Super Bowl was shown live on the BBC for no additional cost over the license fee. It was also available on Sky Sports with a subscription, through a Now TV Sports Pass, or as part of the NFL Gamepass Playoffs package. In a change to tradition, the BBC chose to use NBC 's feed instead of the NFL Films and NFL Network produced World Feed. Germany ( edit ) ProSieben broadcast the Super Bowl for the first time, after it had previously been on sister channel Sat. 1 since Super Bowl XLVI. It was shown for no additional cost in standard - definition and on ProSieben HD in high - definition on HD+ as well as multiple cable and IPTV providers. It was also available on internet streaming service DAZN for no cost in addition to the regular subscription fee. France ( edit ) beIn Sports2 and W9 broadcast the event. U.S. military bases ( edit ) American Forces Network carried the Super Bowl live to members of the United States Armed Forces in Eurasia. Entertainment ( edit ) Pregame ( edit ) The inside of the stadium on game day. Pink performed `` The Star - Spangled Banner '', while Leslie Odom Jr. sang `` America the Beautiful ''. Pink spit out a throat lozenge shortly before singing the anthem, later verified after many commentators thought she had spit out a piece of gum. She reported being ill with flu symptoms during her performance. No players were observed kneeling during the national anthem, in contrast to the protests that happened earlier in the 2017 and 2016 seasons. Halftime show ( edit ) Main article : Super Bowl LII halftime show Justin Timberlake performs on piano alongside projected archive footage of Prince during the Super Bowl LII halftime show. Justin Timberlake headlined the Super Bowl LII halftime show, along with his band `` The Tennessee Kids '' and featuring the University of Minnesota Marching Band. Timberlake performed in two previous Super Bowls : Super Bowl XXXV in 2001 as a member of NSYNC, and Super Bowl XXXVIII in 2004 with Janet Jackson. Timberlake 's performance drew criticism for not being `` spectacular '', looking to be safe and avoid incidents such as the infamous `` wardrobe malfunction '' encountered during his performance with Jackson, and for incorporating a video of Prince, who opposed performances combining the dead and the living. Game Summary ( edit ) First half ( edit ) A Philadelphia Eagles handoff during the first quarter. The New England Patriots won the opening coin toss and elected to defer to the second half. The Patriots kicked to the Eagles who opened with a long time consuming drive of 7 : 05 and resulted in a 25 - yard Jake Elliott field goal, giving the Eagles a 3 -- 0 lead. The drive was controlled by the arm of Eagles quarterback Nick Foles, who went 6 - for - 9 for 61 yards and completed passes to five different receivers, with a few short runs by LeGarrette Blount and Jay Ajayi littered in. Foles also made two critical completions on third down plays, hitting Alshon Jeffery for a 17 - yard gain on third - and - 4, and later finding Torrey Smith for 15 yards on third - and - 12. The Patriots responded with a drive of their own, almost with the exact same results ; quarterback Tom Brady going 6 - for - 8 for 60 yards to four different receivers, the longest a 28 - yard pass to Chris Hogan. The drive stalled out on the Eagles 8 - yard line, where they had to settle for Stephen Gostkowski 's 26 - yard field goal, tying the game at 3 -- 3. The game 's first touchdown was scored by the Eagles on the next drive, taking only three plays : a short pass from Foles to Nelson Agholor, a 36 - yard run up the middle by Blount, and a 34 - yard touchdown pass from Foles to Jeffery to the left side of the field. The ensuing extra point missed as it was wide right, however, leaving the score at 9 -- 3. On the next Patriots drive, they took the ball to the Philadelphia 11 - yard line, mainly on the strength of a 50 - yard completion from Brady to Danny Amendola, where the quarter ended. With the second quarter under way, the Patriots came away empty - handed on the drive, as Gostkowski missed a 26 - yard field goal attempt after holder Ryan Allen mishandled the snap. New England 's defense forced the game 's only punt on the next drive. On the following drive, Brady completed a 23 - yard pass to Brandin Cooks, but a hard hit by defender Malcolm Jenkins knocked the receiver out of the game. On third down from near mid-field, the Patriots attempted a trick play that involved two handoffs and a pass downfield to Tom Brady. Brady was open, but dropped the throw from Amendola. They went for it on fourth down, and a pass intended for tight end Rob Gronkowski fell incomplete, giving the Eagles the ball on their own 35 - yard line on a turnover - on - downs. The Eagles capitalized on a drive featuring two key completions, a 19 - yard catch by Zach Ertz on third - and - 7, and a 22 - yard reception by Jeffery on the Patriots 21 - yard line. On the next play, a 21 - yard rumble by Blount gave the Eagles another touchdown. They attempted a two - point conversion, which failed, bringing the score to 15 -- 3. The Patriots quickly struck back, as Brady completed a 46 - yard pass to Rex Burkhead on the first play after the kickoff. But the team could only gain two more yards, resulting in Gostkowski 's 45 - yard field goal that got the score to 15 -- 6. The Eagles got the ball back with 7 : 24 on the clock and looked poised to score another touchdown when a 26 - yard run by Ajayi gave them a first down on the Patriots 43 - yard line. But on the next play, Foles threw a pass that bounced off Jeffery as he tried to make a one - handed catch and went into the hands of Patriots safety Duron Harmon for an interception, which he returned eight yards to the 10 - yard line. The Patriots took advantage of the turnover with a seven - play, 90 - yard drive, featuring a 43 - yard completion from Brady to Hogan. On the next play, James White scored with a 26 - yard touchdown run, after which Gostkowski missed the extra point, with the score at 15 -- 12. Eagles running back Kenjon Barner returned the ensuing kickoff 27 yards to his own 30 - yard line as time ran down to the two - minute warning. Two plays later on third - and - 3, Foles completed a short pass to running back Corey Clement, who took off for a 55 - yard gain to the New England 8 - yard line. Then he ran the ball six yards to the two - yard line. Two plays later, Philadelphia faced fourth - and - goal on the 1 - yard line with 38 seconds left on the clock. Deciding to go for the touchdown, they attempted a similar trick play to the one that had failed for the Patriots earlier. As Foles stepped up to the running back position, Clement took a direct snap and pitched the ball to tight end Trey Burton, who then threw the ball perfectly to Foles, who was wide open in the right side of the end zone. Foles caught the football, making him the first quarterback ever to catch a touchdown pass in a Super Bowl, and the ensuing extra point was good, giving the Eagles a 22 -- 12 lead, which was taken into the locker room following a short drive by the Patriots. The first half resulted in numerous Super Bowl records from both teams, including most total yards combined ( 673 ). This was also the first time two quarterbacks had thrown for over 200 yards in the first half of a Super Bowl, with Brady throwing for 276 yards and Foles throwing for 215 yards. Second half ( edit ) The Patriots received the second - half kickoff and Brady led New England 75 yards in eight plays. Gronkowski, who only caught one pass for nine yards in the first half, caught five passes for 68 yards on the drive, the last a 5 - yard touchdown reception to make the score 22 - 19. The Eagles responded by moving the ball 85 yards in 11 plays on a drive that consumed less than five minutes and featured three critical third down conversions by Foles. The first was a 17 - yard pass to Agholor on third - and - 6 from the Eagles 19 - yard line. Later in the drive, he thew a 14 - yard completion to Ertz on third - and - 1 from the New England 40 - yard line. Finally, he finished the possession with a 22 - yard touchdown pass to Clement on third - and - 6. The touchdown was held up by a replay review, but replay officials confirmed that Clement kept both feet inbounds and controlled the ball. An Elliott extra point brought the score to 29 -- 19 in favor of the Eagles. Brady responded with a 10 - play, 75 - yard drive, completing all three of his passes for 61 yards, the last one a 26 - yard touchdown pass to Hogan that brought the score to 29 -- 26. The Eagles followed with an 8 - play, 51 - yard drive featuring a 24 - yard completion from Foles to Agholor on the first play. By the end of the third quarter, the team had made it to the New England 16 - yard line. The Eagles opened the fourth quarter scoring with a Jake Elliott field goal to bring the score to 32 -- 26. However, Brady came back with another 75 - yard drive featuring a 30 - yard reception by Amendola and ending with a four - yard pass to Gronkowski, his second touchdown of the game, giving the Patriots their first lead of the game with the score at 33 -- 32. On their next drive, the Eagles faced third - and - 6 after two plays, but were able to keep the ball with a 7 - yard catch by Ertz. Eventually, they faced a fourth - and - 1 on their own 45 - yard line with 5 : 39 left in the game. Deciding to go for the conversion rather than punt, Foles completed a 2 - yard pass to Ertz that kept the drive alive. Then after a 1 - yard Blount run, he picked up three consecutive first downs with three passes to Agholor for gains of 10, 18, and 10 yards, respectively, moving the ball to the New England 14 - yard line. Following a 3 - yard run by Ajayi, Foles threw a 9 - yard touchdown pass to Ertz with 2 : 21 remaining in the game. The play was held up on review, as Ertz lost the ball after touching the ground in the end zone ; it was however determined that he established himself as a runner and also maintained control of the ball as he broke the plane of the goal line. However, a failed two - point conversion left the Eagles with a 38 -- 33 lead. On the Patriots ' next drive, Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham stripped the ball from Brady on the drive 's second play for the only sack of the game for either team. Defensive end Derek Barnett of the Eagles recovered the ball, allowing the Eagles to run the clock down to 1 : 05 and forcing New England to use up all their remaining timeouts. Elliott then kicked a 46 - yard field goal, putting Philadelphia ahead by eight points, with the score at 41 -- 33, and New England needing a touchdown and a two - point conversion to tie the game and send it into overtime. After nine plays ( one of them a 13 - yard catch by Amendola on fourth - and - 10 ), Brady reached the 49 - yard line, and with only nine seconds remaining, he threw a Hail Mary pass to the end zone, to no avail. When time expired, the Eagles had won their first Vince Lombardi Trophy in franchise history, and their first league championship since 1960. Game Statistics ( edit ) The trophy presentation after the game. The combined 74 points scored by both teams was one point shy of the Super Bowl record of 75, set in Super Bowl XXIX in 1995 ; it and this game marked only the second time in the game 's history where the two teams combined for 70 + points. The game also set a record for most yardage by both teams ( combined ) with 1,151 yards, the most for any single game, regular season or postseason. The game had many other Super Bowl records set as well, including fewest punts from both teams ( one ), most yards gained by a team ( 613 for New England ) and most points scored by a losing team ( 33 ). Foles completed 28 - of - 43 passes for 373 yards and three touchdowns, with one interception, and caught a touchdown pass. Clement, who caught only 10 passes for 123 yards and two touchdowns during the season, was the Eagles leading receiver with four receptions for 100 yards and a touchdown, while also rushing for eight yards. Agholor had nine receptions for 84 yards. Blount was the game 's top rusher with 90 yards and a touchdown.

Season 6 Episode 8 Directed by Victor Nelli, Jr. Written by Clay Lapari Production code 608 Original air date April 28, 2015 ( 2015 - 04 - 28 ) Running time 28 minutes Guest appearance ( s ) Paget Brewster as Francesca `` Frankie '' Dart Keith David as Elroy Patashnik Richard Erdman as Leonard Briggs Erik Charles Nielsen as Garrett Lambert Brooke Burns as TV Host Steve Guttenberg as Maury Luke Youngblood as Magnitude Randall Park as himself Episode chronology ← Previous `` Advanced Safety Features '' Next → `` Grifting 101 '' Community ( season 6 ) List of Community episodes `` Intro to Recycled Cinema '' is the eighth episode of the sixth season of the American comedy television series Community, and the 105th episode of the series overall. It was released on Yahoo! Screen in the United States on April 28, 2015. Contents ( hide ) 1 Plot 2 Cultural references 3 Production 4 Critical reception 5 References 6 External links Plot ( edit ) After his big break in the theater version of The Karate Kid, Chang lands a part in a commercial for Kolb Family Foods. He becomes an internet sensation as the `` ' Ham, girl! ' Guy '' and heads to Hollywood. Greendale decides to cash in on Chang 's new - found fame by turning a cop drama Police Justice, into a sci - fi movie. Abed directs the group in the film Chief Starr and the Raiders of the Galaxy, incorporating outtake audio and recycled footage of Chang. The Dean stars as Chang 's stand in body double, while Jeff plays the mayor of outer space, Britta plays Princess Meridian, and Annie stars as Scorpio 9, a pleasure droid assassin. Abed is forced to lower his filmmaking standards and asked to edit his film removing Jeff 's big scene. Consequently, Jeff has an identity crisis and realizes he will be the last one to ever leave Greendale. At the last minute the film 's producer Maury informs the group that the company funding the film went bankrupt thanks to YouTube. Chang comes crawling back to Greendale after he talks back to an unseen Steven Spielberg and is replaced by Randall Park. Cultural references ( edit ) This episode parodies a scene from the original Star Wars when the characters fall into a trash compartment, as well as the films Raiders of the Lost Ark and Guardians of the Galaxy and actor Chris Pratt. The episode later lampoons the conventional distribution model of TV by suggesting the company set to distribute Abed 's film just filed for bankruptcy because of the surge in online streaming. It also parodies The Big Bang Theory with Abed imitating Sheldon Cooper saying `` bazinga '' in a ball pit. Production ( edit ) On February 9, 2015, Dan Harmon disclosed that Steve Guttenberg would be appearing on an episode of Community. On February 13, 2015, TV insider reported Guttenberg would play a Hollywood producer friend to Frankie. On April 7, 2015, the episode 's title was first revealed during an interview with Yahoo 's Robert Chan. Critical reception ( edit ) Den of Geek says, `` This is the closest we 've yet come to an homage - style episode this season and it 's good, fresh ground for Community to cover. '' Hypable says, `` After a relatively slow start, Community has really hit its stride mid-season with two stellar back - to - back episodes. '' Flavorwire says, `` the 3AM release time does n't help, '' and suggests that perhaps the show would be better served releasing the episodes at a time of day when social media would have a bigger impact. IGN liked the premise of the episode, `` The idea of Chang becoming a ( very brief ) star was amusing in and of itself, but it was how the Greendale gang reacted that really set the story in motion.

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 those in the latter group, 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 ( barrister ) 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 Marquiss de la Fayette 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 intitled 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 American 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 ( 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. '' 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 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 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.

{ "text": "Member states of the United Nations - wikipedia Member states of the United Nations Jump to : navigation, search Map of the United Nations ( UN ) member states as of August 2017, with their territories ( including dependent territories ) recognized by the UN in green Flags of the member states of the United Nations, in front of the Palace of Nations ( Geneva, Switzerland ). Since 2015, the flags of the two non-member observer states are raised alongside those of the 193 member states. The United Nations member states are the 193 sovereign states that are members of the United Nations ( UN ) and have equal representation in the UN General Assembly. The UN is the world 's largest intergovernmental organization, ahead of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation. The criteria for admission of new members to the UN are set out in Chapter II, Article 4 of the UN Charter : Membership in the United Nations is open to all peace - loving states which accept the obligations contained in the present Charter and, in the judgement of the Organization, are able and willing to carry out these obligations. The admission of any such state to membership in the United Nations will be effected by a decision of the General Assembly upon the recommendation of the Security Council. A recommendation for admission from the Security Council requires affirmative votes from at least nine of the council 's fifteen members, with none of the five permanent members using their veto power. The Security Council 's recommendation must then be approved in the General Assembly by a two - thirds majority vote. In principle, only sovereign states can become UN members, and currently all UN members are sovereign states. Although five members were not sovereign when they joined the UN, all subsequently became fully independent between 1946 and 1991. Because a state can only be admitted to membership in the UN by the approval of the Security Council and the General Assembly, a number of states that are considered sovereign according to the Montevideo Convention are not members of the UN. This is because the UN does not consider them to possess sovereignty, mainly due to the lack of international recognition or due to opposition from one of the permanent members. In addition to the member states, the UN also invites non-member states to become observers at the UN General Assembly ( currently two : the Holy See and Palestine ), allowing them to participate and speak in General Assembly meetings, but not vote. Observers are generally intergovernmental organizations and international organizations and entities whose statehood or sovereignty is not precisely defined.

Map of the current UN member states by their dates of admission. 1945 ( original members ) 1946 -- 1959 1960 -- 1989 1990 -- present non-member observer states Further information : History of the United Nations The UN officially came into existence on 24 October 1945, after ratification of the United Nations Charter by the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council ( the Republic of China, France, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, and the United States ) and a majority of the other signatories. A total of 51 original members ( or founding members ) joined that year ; 50 of them signed the Charter at the United Nations Conference on International Organization in San Francisco on 26 June 1945, while Poland, which was not represented at the conference, signed it on 15 October 1945. The original members of the United Nations were : France, the Republic of China, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, the United States, Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Bolivia, Brazil, Byelorussia, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Egypt, El Salvador, Ethiopia, Greece, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, India, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Liberia, Luxembourg, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Norway, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, the Philippines, Poland, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Syria, Turkey, Ukraine, Uruguay, Venezuela and Yugoslavia. Among the original members, 49 are either still UN members or had their memberships in the UN continued by a successor state ( see table below ) ; for example, the membership of the Soviet Union was continued by the Russian Federation after its dissolution ( see the section Former members : Union of Soviet Socialist Republics ). The other two original members, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia ( i.e., the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia ), had been dissolved and their memberships in the UN not continued from 1992 by any one successor state ( see the sections Former members : Czechoslovakia and Former members : Yugoslavia ). At the time of UN 's founding, the seat of China in the UN was held by the Republic of China, but as a result of United Nations General Assembly Resolution 2758 in 1971, it is now held by the People 's Republic of China ( see the section Former members : Republic of China ( Taiwan ) ). A number of the original members were not sovereign when they joined the UN, and only gained full independence later : Belarus ( then the Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic ) and Ukraine ( then the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic ) were both constituent republics of the Soviet Union, until gaining full independence in 1991. India ( whose territory at that time, before the Partition of India, also included the present - day territories of Pakistan and Bangladesh ) was under British colonial rule, until gaining full independence in 1947. The Philippines ( then the Philippine Commonwealth ) was a commonwealth with the United States, until gaining full independence in 1946. New Zealand, while de facto sovereign at that time, `` only gained full capacity to enter into relations with other states in 1947 when it passed the Statute of Westminster Adoption Act. This occurred 16 years after the British Parliament passed the Statute of Westminster Act in 1931 that recognised New Zealand 's autonomy. If judged by the Montevideo Convention criteria, New Zealand did not achieve full de jure statehood until 1947.

The alphabetical order by the member states ' official designations is used to determine the seating arrangement of the General Assembly sessions, where a draw is held each year to select a member state as the starting point. Several members use their full official names in their official designations and thus are sorted out of order from their common names : the Democratic People 's Republic of Korea, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Republic of Korea, the Republic of Moldova, The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia ( a provisional reference used for all purposes within the UN, and listed under T ), and the United Republic of Tanzania.

Former members ( edit ) Republic of China ( edit ) Further information : China and the United Nations Areas controlled by the People 's Republic of China and the Republic of China The Republic of China ( ROC ) joined the UN as an original member on 24 October 1945, and as set out by the United Nations Charter, Chapter V, Article 23, became one of the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council. In 1949, as a result of the Chinese Civil War, the Kuomintang - led ROC government lost effective control of mainland China and relocated to the island of Taiwan, and the Communist Party - led government of the People 's Republic of China ( PRC ), declared on 1 October 1949, took control of mainland China. The UN was notified on 18 November 1949 of the formation of the Central People 's Government of the People 's Republic of China ; however, the Government of the Republic of China continued to represent China at the UN, despite the small size of the ROC 's jurisdiction of Taiwan and a number of smaller islands compared to the PRC 's jurisdiction of mainland China. As both governments claimed to be the sole legitimate representative of China, proposals to effect a change in the representation of China in the UN were discussed but rejected for the next two decades, as the ROC was still recognized as the sole legitimate representative of China by a majority of UN members. Both sides rejected compromise proposals to allow both states to participate in the UN, based on the One - China policy. By the 1970s, a shift had occurred in international diplomatic circles and the PRC had gained the upper hand in international diplomatic relations and recognition count. On 25 October 1971, the 21st time the United Nations General Assembly debated on the PRC 's admission into the UN, United Nations General Assembly Resolution 2758 was adopted, by which it recognized that `` the representatives of the Government of the People 's Republic of China are the only lawful representatives of China to the United Nations and that the People 's Republic of China is one of the five permanent members of the Security Council, '' and decided `` to restore all its rights to the People 's Republic of China and to recognize the representatives of its Government as the only legitimate representatives of China to the United Nations, and to expel forthwith the representatives of Chiang Kai - shek from the place which they unlawfully occupy at the United Nations and in all the organizations related to it. '' This effectively transferred the seat of China in the UN, including its permanent seat on the Security Council, from the ROC to the PRC, and expelled the ROC from the UN. From the United Nations ' perspective the `` Republic of China '' is not a former member. No UN member was expelled in 1971. Rather, the credentials of one Chinese delegation ( from Taipei ) were rejected and the credentials of another Chinese delegation ( from Beijing ) were accepted. In addition to losing its seat in the UN, the UN Secretary - General concluded from the resolution that the General Assembly considered Taiwan to be a province of China. Consequently, the Secretary - General decided that it was not permitted for the ROC to become a party to treaties deposited with it. Bids for readmission as the representative of Taiwan ( edit ) Further information : Political status of Taiwan ; Four - Stage Theory of the Republic of China ; and Taiwanese United Nations membership referendums, 2008 The presidency of Ma Ying - jeou saw the first participation of the Republic of China on a United Nations body in almost 40 years. In 1993 the ROC began campaigning to rejoin the UN separately from the People 's Republic of China. A number of options were considered, including seeking membership in the specialized agencies, applying for observer status, applying for full membership, or having resolution 2758 revoked to reclaim the seat of China in the UN. Every year from 1993 -- 2006, UN member states submitted a memorandum to the UN Secretary - General requesting that the UN General Assembly consider allowing the ROC to resume participating in the United Nations. This approach was chosen, rather than a formal application for membership, because it could be enacted by the General Assembly, while a membership application would need Security Council approval, where the PRC held a veto. Early proposals recommended admitting the ROC with parallel representation over China, along with the People 's Republic of China, pending eventual reunification, citing examples of other divided countries which had become separate UN member states, such as East and West Germany and North and South Korea. Later proposals emphasized that the ROC was a separate state, over which the PRC had no effective sovereignty. These proposed resolutions referred to the ROC under a variety of names : `` Republic of China in Taiwan '' ( 1993 -- 94 ), `` Republic of China on Taiwan '' ( 1995 -- 97, 1999 -- 2002 ), `` Republic of China '' ( 1998 ), `` Republic of China ( Taiwan ) '' ( 2003 ) and `` Taiwan '' ( 2004 -- 06 ). However, all fourteen attempts were unsuccessful as the General Assembly 's General Committee declined to put the issue on the Assembly 's agenda for debate, under strong opposition from the PRC. While all these proposals were vague, requesting the ROC be allowed to participate in UN activities without specifying any legal mechanism, in 2007 the ROC submitted a formal application under the name `` Taiwan '' for full membership in the UN. However, the application was rejected by the United Nations Office of Legal Affairs citing General Assembly Resolution 2758, without being forwarded to the Security Council. Secretary - General of the United Nations Ban Ki - moon stated that : The position of the United Nations is that the People 's Republic of China is representing the whole of China as the sole and legitimate representative Government of China. The decision until now about the wish of the people in Taiwan to join the United Nations has been decided on that basis. The resolution ( General Assembly Resolution 2758 ) that you just mentioned is clearly mentioning that the Government of China is the sole and legitimate Government and the position of the United Nations is that Taiwan is part of China. Responding to the UN 's rejection of its application, the ROC government has stated that Taiwan is not now nor has it ever been under the jurisdiction of the PRC, and that since General Assembly Resolution 2758 did not clarify the issue of Taiwan 's representation in the UN, it does not prevent Taiwan 's participation in the UN as an independent sovereign nation. The ROC government also criticized Ban for asserting that Taiwan is part of China and returning the application without passing it to the Security Council or the General Assembly, contrary to UN 's standard procedure ( Provisional Rules of Procedure of the Security Council, Chapter X, Rule 59 ). On the other hand, the PRC government, which has stated that Taiwan is part of China and firmly opposes the application of any Taiwan authorities to join the UN either as a member or an observer, praised that UN 's decision `` was made in accordance with the UN Charter and Resolution 2758 of the UN General Assembly, and showed the UN and its member states ' universal adherence to the one - China principle ''. A group of UN member states put forward a draft resolution for that fall 's UN General Assembly calling on the Security Council to consider the application. The following year two referendums in Taiwan on the government 's attempts to regain participation at the UN did not pass due to low turnout. That fall the ROC took a new approach, with its allies submitting a resolution requesting that the `` Republic of China ( Taiwan ) '' be allowed to have `` meaningful participation '' in the UN specialized agencies. Again the issue was not put on the Assembly 's agenda. In 2009, the ROC chose not to bring the issue of its participation in the UN up for debate at the General Assembly for the first time since it began the campaign in 1993. In May 2009, the Department of Health of the Republic of China was invited by the World Health Organization to attend the 62nd World Health Assembly as an observer under the name `` Chinese Taipei ''. This was the ROC 's first participation in an event organized by a UN-affiliated agency since 1971, as a result of the improved cross-strait relations since Ma Ying - jeou became the President of the Republic of China a year before. The Republic of China is officially recognized by 19 UN member states and the Holy See. It maintains unofficial diplomatic relations with around 100 nations, including the United States and Japan. Czechoslovakia ( edit ) Czechoslovakia joined the UN as an original member on 24 October 1945, with its name changed to the Czech and Slovak Federative Republic on 20 April 1990. Upon the imminent dissolution of Czechoslovakia, in a letter dated 10 December 1992, its Permanent Representative informed the United Nations Secretary - General that the Czech and Slovak Federative Republic would cease to exist on 31 December 1992 and that the Czech Republic and Slovakia, as successor states, would apply for membership in the UN. Neither state sought sole successor state status. Both states were admitted to the UN on 19 January 1993. German Democratic Republic ( edit ) Both the Federal Republic of Germany ( West Germany ) and the German Democratic Republic ( East Germany ) were admitted to the UN on 18 September 1973. Through the accession of the East German federal states to the Federal Republic of Germany, effective from 3 October 1990, the territory of the German Democratic Republic became part of the Federal Republic of Germany, today simply known as Germany. Consequently, the Federal Republic of Germany continued being a member of the UN while the German Democratic Republic ceased to exist. Federation of Malaya ( edit ) The Federation of Malaya joined the United Nations on 17 September 1957. On 16 September 1963, its name was changed to Malaysia, following the formation of Malaysia from Singapore, North Borneo ( now Sabah ), Sarawak and the Federation of Malaya. Singapore became an independent State on 9 August 1965 and a Member of the United Nations on 21 September 1965. Tanganyika and Zanzibar ( edit ) Tanganyika was admitted to the UN on 14 December 1961, and Zanzibar was admitted to the UN on 16 December 1963. Following the ratification on 26 April 1964 of the Articles of Union between Tanganyika and Zanzibar, the two states merged to form the single member `` United Republic of Tanganyika and Zanzibar '', with its name changed to the United Republic of Tanzania on 1 November 1964. Union of Soviet Socialist republics ( edit ) Further information : Soviet Union and the United Nations The USSR as its borders and republics were configured upon entry to the UN. Border changes and the dissolution of various republics happened over the course of its membership. The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics ( USSR ) joined the UN as an original member on 24 October 1945, and as set out by the United Nations Charter, Chapter V, Article 23, became one of the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council. Upon the imminent dissolution of the USSR, in a letter dated 24 December 1991, Boris Yeltsin, the President of the Russian Federation, informed the United Nations Secretary - General that the membership of the USSR in the Security Council and all other UN organs was being continued by the Russian Federation with the support of the 11 member countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States. The other fourteen independent states established from the former Soviet Republics were all admitted to the UN : The Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic and the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic joined the UN on 24 October 1945 together with the USSR. After declaring independence, the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic changed its name to Ukraine on 24 August 1991, and on 19 September 1991, the Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic informed the UN that it had changed its name to Belarus. Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania were admitted to the UN on 17 September 1991, after regaining independence before the dissolution of the USSR. Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, the Republic of Moldova, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan were admitted to the UN on 2 March 1992. Georgia was admitted to the UN on 31 July 1992. United Arab Republic ( edit ) Egyptian president Gamal Abdel Nasser ( seated right ) and Syrian president Shukri al - Quwatli sign the accord to form the United Arab Republic in 1958. The short - lived political union briefly represented both states and was used as the name of Egypt following Syria 's withdrawal in 1961. Both Egypt and Syria joined the UN as original members on 24 October 1945. Following a plebiscite on 21 February 1958, the United Arab Republic was established by a union of Egypt and Syria and continued as a single member. On 13 October 1961, Syria, having resumed its status as an independent state, resumed its separate membership in the UN. Egypt continued as a UN member under the name of the United Arab Republic, until it reverted to its original name on 2 September 1971. Syria changed its name to the Syrian Arab Republic on 14 September 1971. Yemen and Democratic Yemen ( edit ) Yemen ( i.e., North Yemen ) was admitted to the UN on 30 September 1947 ; Southern Yemen ( i.e., South Yemen ) was admitted to the UN on 14 December 1967, with its name changed to the People 's Democratic Republic of Yemen on 30 November 1970, and was later referred to as Democratic Yemen. On 22 May 1990, the two states merged to form the Republic of Yemen, which continued as a single member under the name Yemen. Yugoslavia ( edit ) Main article : Yugoslavia and the United Nations The Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia disintegrated into several states starting in the early 1990s. By 2006, six UN member states existed in its former territory. Kosovo declared independence in 2008. The Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, referred to as Yugoslavia, joined the UN as an original member on 24 October 1945. By 1992, it had been effectively dissolved into five independent states, which were all subsequently admitted to the UN : Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, and Slovenia were admitted to the UN on 22 May 1992. Macedonia was admitted to the UN on 8 April 1993, being provisionally referred to for all purposes within the UN as `` The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia '' pending settlement of the difference that had arisen over its name. The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia ( name later changed to Serbia and Montenegro ) was admitted to the UN on 1 November 2000. Due to the dispute over its legal successor states, the member state `` Yugoslavia '', referring to the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, remained on the official roster of UN members for many years after its effective dissolution. Following the admission of all five states as new UN members, `` Yugoslavia '' was removed from the official roster of UN members. The government of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, established on 28 April 1992 by the remaining Yugoslav republics of Montenegro and Serbia, claimed itself as the legal successor state of the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia ; however, on 30 May 1992, United Nations Security Council Resolution 757 was adopted, by which it imposed international sanctions on the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia due to its role in the Yugoslav Wars, and noted that `` the claim by the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia ( Serbia and Montenegro ) to continue automatically the membership of the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in the United Nations has not been generally accepted, '' and on 22 September 1992, United Nations General Assembly Resolution A / RES / 47 / 1 was adopted, by which it considered that `` the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia ( Serbia and Montenegro ) can not continue automatically the membership of the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in the United Nations, '' and therefore decided that `` the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia ( Serbia and Montenegro ) should apply for membership in the United Nations and that it shall not participate in the work of the General Assembly ''. The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia refused to comply with the resolution for many years, but following the ousting of President Slobodan Milošević from office, it applied for membership, and was admitted to the UN on 1 November 2000. On 4 February 2003, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia had its official name changed to Serbia and Montenegro, following the adoption and promulgation of the Constitutional Charter of Serbia and Montenegro by the Assembly of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. On the basis of a referendum held on 21 May 2006, Montenegro declared independence from Serbia and Montenegro on 3 June 2006. In a letter dated on the same day, the President of Serbia informed the United Nations Secretary - General that the membership of Serbia and Montenegro in the UN was being continued by Serbia, following Montenegro 's declaration of independence, in accordance with the Constitutional Charter of Serbia and Montenegro. Montenegro was admitted to the UN on 28 June 2006. In the aftermath of the Kosovo War, the territory of Kosovo, then an autonomous province of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, was put under the interim administration of the United Nations Mission in Kosovo on 10 June 1999. On 17 February 2008 it declared independence, but this has not been recognised by Serbia. The Republic of Kosovo is not a member of the UN, but is a member of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank Group, both specialized agencies in the United Nations System. The Republic of Kosovo is recognised by 112 UN member states, including three of the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council ( France, the United Kingdom, and the United States ), while the other two -- China and Russia -- do not recognise Kosovo. On 22 July 2010, the International Court of Justice, the primary judicial organ of the UN, issued an advisory opinion, ruling that Kosovo 's declaration of independence was not in violation of international law. Suspension, expulsion, and withdrawal of members ( edit ) See also : Withdrawal from the United Nations A member state may be suspended or expelled from the UN, according to the United Nations Charter. From Chapter II, Article 5 : A Member of the United Nations against which preventive or enforcement action has been taken by the Security Council may be suspended from the exercise of the rights and privileges of membership by the General Assembly upon the recommendation of the Security Council. The exercise of these rights and privileges may be restored by the Security Council. From Article 6 : A Member of the United Nations which has persistently violated the Principles contained in the present Charter may be expelled from the Organization by the General Assembly upon the recommendation of the Security Council. Since its inception, no member state has been suspended or expelled from the UN under Articles 5 and 6. However, in a few cases, states were suspended or expelled from participating in UN activities by means other than Articles 5 and 6 : On 25 October 1971, United Nations General Assembly Resolution 2758 was adopted, which recognized the People 's Republic of China instead of the Republic of China ( since 1949 controlling only Taiwan ) as the legitimate representative of China in the UN and effectively expelled the Republic of China from the UN in 1971 ( see the section Former members : Republic of China ). This act did not constitute as the expulsion of a member state under Article 6, as this would have required Security Council approval and been subjected to vetoes by its permanent members, which included the Republic of China itself and the United States, which at that time still recognized the Republic of China. In October 1974, the Security Council considered a draft resolution that would have recommended that the General Assembly immediately expel South Africa from the UN, in compliance with Article 6 of the United Nations Charter, due to its apartheid policies. However, the resolution was not adopted because of vetoes by three permanent members of the Security Council : France, the United Kingdom, and the United States. In response, the General Assembly decided to suspend South Africa from participation in the work of the Assembly 's 29th session on 12 November 1974 ; however, South Africa was not formally suspended under Article 5. The suspension lasted until the General Assembly welcomed South Africa back to full participation in the UN on 23 June 1994, following its successful democratic elections earlier that year. On 28 April 1992, the new Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was established, by the remaining republics of Serbia and Montenegro of the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. On 22 September 1992, United Nations General Assembly Resolution A / RES / 47 / 1 was adopted, by which it considered that `` the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia ( Serbia and Montenegro ) can not continue automatically the membership of the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in the United Nations, '' and therefore decided that `` the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia ( Serbia and Montenegro ) should apply for membership in the United Nations and that it shall not participate in the work of the General Assembly ''. It did not apply for membership until Slobodan Milošević was ousted from the presidency and was admitted on 1 November 2000 ( see the section Former members : Yugoslavia ). Withdrawal of Indonesia ( 1965 -- 1966 ) ( edit ) Main article : CONEFO Indonesian president Sukarno 's decision to withdraw from the United Nations in 1965 is the only instance of a withdrawal of membership in UN history. Indonesia rejoined the UN a year later. Since the inception of the UN, only one member state ( excluding those that dissolved or merged with other member states ) has unilaterally withdrawn from the UN. During the Indonesia -- Malaysia confrontation, and in response to the election of Malaysia as a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, in a letter dated 20 January 1965, Indonesia informed the United Nations Secretary - General that it had decided `` at this stage and under the present circumstances '' to withdraw from the UN. However, following the overthrow of President Sukarno, in a telegram dated 19 September 1966, Indonesia notified the Secretary - General of its decision `` to resume full cooperation with the United Nations and to resume participation in its activities starting with the twenty - first session of the General Assembly ''. On 28 September 1966, the United Nations General Assembly took note of the decision of the Government of Indonesia and the President invited the representatives of that country to take their seats in the Assembly. Unlike suspension and expulsion, no express provision is made in the United Nations Charter of whether or how a member can legally withdraw from the UN ( largely to prevent the threat of withdrawal from being used as a form of political blackmail, or to evade obligations under the Charter, similar to withdrawals that weakened the UN 's predecessor, the League of Nations ), or on whether a request for readmission by a withdrawn member should be treated the same as an application for membership, i.e., requiring Security Council as well as General Assembly approval. Indonesia 's return to the UN would suggest that this is not required ; however, scholars have argued that the course of action taken by the General Assembly was not in accordance with the Charter from a legal point of view. Observers and non-members ( edit ) Main article : United Nations General Assembly observers See also : Holy See and the United Nations, Palestine 194, and European Union and the United Nations Switzerland has been neutral in international conflicts since the early 19th century and joined the UN as a full member only in 2002. Despite this, the Palace of Nations in Geneva has hosted the United Nations Office at Geneva since 1946 and also previously served as the headquarters of the League of Nations. In addition to the member states, there are two non-member permanent observer states : the Holy See and the State of Palestine. The Holy See holds sovereignty over the state of Vatican City and maintains diplomatic relations with 180 other states. It has been an observer state since 6 April 1964, and gained all the rights of full membership except voting on 1 July 2004. The Palestine Liberation Organization was granted observer status as a `` non-member entity '' on 22 November 1974. Acknowledging the proclamation of the State of Palestine by the Palestine National Council on 15 November 1988, the United Nations General Assembly decided that, effective as of 15 December 1988, the designation `` Palestine '' should be used in place of the designation `` Palestine Liberation Organization '' in the United Nations System. On 23 September 2011, Palestinian National Authority President Mahmoud Abbas submitted the application for UN membership for the State of Palestine to United Nations Secretary - General Ban Ki - moon ; the application has not been voted on by the UN Security Council. On 31 October 2011, the General Assembly of UNESCO voted to admit Palestine as a member, becoming the first UN agency to admit Palestine as a full member. The State of Palestine was recognized as a `` non-member state '' on 29 November 2012, when the UN General Assembly passed United Nations General Assembly resolution 67 / 19 by a vote of 138 to 9, with 41 abstentions. The change in status was described by The Independent as `` de facto recognition of the sovereign state of Palestine ''. On 17 December 2012, UN Chief of Protocol Yeocheol Yoon decided that `` the designation of ' State of Palestine ' shall be used by the Secretariat in all official United Nations documents ''. The Sovereign Military Order of Malta, while not a state, has observer status at the UN and maintains diplomatic relations with 107 countries. A number of states were also granted observer status before being admitted to the UN as full members ( see United Nations General Assembly observers for the full list ). The most recent case of an observer state becoming a member state was Switzerland, which was admitted in 2002. A European Union institution, the European Commission, was granted observer status at the UNGA through Resolution 3208 in 1974. The Treaty of Lisbon in 2009 resulted in the delegates being accredited directly to the EU. It was accorded full rights in the General Assembly, bar the right to vote and put forward candidates, via UNGA Resolution A / RES / 65 / 276 on 10 May 2011. It is the only non-state party to over 50 multilateral conventions, and has participated as a full member in every way except for having a vote in a number of UN conferences. The sovereignty status of Western Sahara is in dispute between Morocco and the Polisario Front. Most of the territory is controlled by Morocco, the remainder ( the Free Zone ) by the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic, proclaimed by the Polisario Front. Western Sahara is listed by the UN as a `` non-self - governing territory ''. The Cook Islands and Niue, which are both associated states of New Zealand, are not members of the UN, but are members of specialized agencies of the UN such as WHO and UNESCO, and have had their `` full treaty - making capacity '' recognized by United Nations Secretariat in 1992 and 1994 respectively. They have since become parties to a number of international treaties which the UN Secretariat acts as a depositary for, such as the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, and are treated as non-member states. Both the Cook Islands and Niue have expressed a desire to become a UN member state, but New Zealand has said that they would not support the application without a change in their constitutional relationship, in particular their right to New Zealand citizenship.

Territories of states not recognized by the UN are not excluded due to the UN 's position that they are part of some UN member state, including, for example, the territories governed by the Republic of China ( Taiwan and other smaller islands ), as the UN members voted to consider the People 's Republic of China as the only lawful representative of China at the UN and the UN chooses not to question its claim that Taiwan is part of China.

{ "text": "Up An ' Atom - wikipedia Up An ' Atom Up An ' Atom was the name of a B - 29 Superfortress ( B - 29 - 36 - MO 44 - 27304, Victor number 88 ) configured during World War II in the Silverplate project to carry an atomic bomb. History ( edit ) Assigned to the 393d Bomb Squadron, 509th Composite Group, it was built at the Glenn L. Martin Aircraft Plant at Omaha, Nebraska, accepted by the Army Air Forces on April 3, 1945, and flown to Wendover Army Air Field, Utah, by its assigned crew B - 10 ( Capt. George W. Marquardt, Aircraft Commander ). It departed Wendover for North Field, Tinian on June 11 and arrived on June 17. It was originally assigned the Victor ( unit - assigned identification number ) number 8 but on August 1 was given the triangle N tail markings of the 444th Bomb Group as a security measure and had its Victor changed to 88 to avoid misidentification with actual 444th BG aircraft. It was named and had its nose art painted after the Nagasaki mission. The name is a word play on the colloquial idiom `` Up and at ' em '', meaning `` There is a lot of work to be done, '' and referencing the unit 's atomic mission. While at Tinian, Marquadt and crew B - 10 flew Up An ' Atom on eight training and practice bombing missions and pumpkin bomb missions against industrial targets in Taira and Hamamatsu, Japan. Capt. Bob Lewis 's crew B - 9 flew it on a pumpkin bomb mission to Tokushima subsequent to the Hiroshima mission, and Lt. Col. James Hopkins and crew C - 14 used it to attack Nagoya with a pumpkin bomb. Up An ' Atom returned to the United States with the 509th CG in November 1945 to Roswell Army Airfield. From April to August 1946 it was assigned to the Operation Crossroads task force. In August 1949 it became part of the 97th Bomb Group at Biggs Air Force Base, Texas, and was re-configured as a TB - 29 trainer in April 1950 by the Oklahoma City Air Materiel Area at Tinker Air Force Base. Its subsequent assignments were to : 112th Radar Calibration Squadron, Hamilton Air Force Base, California ( October 1951 ), 4th Radar Calibration Squadron, Hamilton AFB ( February 1953 ), 4754th Radar Evaluation Flight, Hamilton AFB ( March 1954 ), Mobile Air Materiel Area, Nashville, Tennessee ( March 1955 ) 17th Tow Target Squadron, Vincent Air Force Base, Arizona ( May 1955 ). Up An ' Atom was dropped from the Air Force inventory in November 1956. It was transferred to the U.S. Navy and used as a target at the Naval Ordnance Test Station at China Lake, California.

Johnson ( 1911 ) The Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906 was the first of a series of significant consumer protection laws which was enacted by Congress in the 20th century and led to the creation of the Food and Drug Administration. Its main purpose was to ban foreign and interstate traffic in adulterated or mislabeled food and drug products, and it directed the U.S. Bureau of Chemistry to inspect products and refer offenders to prosecutors. It required that active ingredients be placed on the label of a drug 's packaging and that drugs could not fall below purity levels established by the United States Pharmacopeia or the National Formulary. The Jungle by Upton Sinclair was an inspirational piece that kept the public 's attention on the important issue of unsanitary meat processing plants that later led to food inspection legislation.

Enforcement of the Pure Food and Drug Act was assigned to the Bureau of Chemistry in the U.S. Department of Agriculture which was renamed the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ( FDA ) in 1930. The Meat Inspection Act was assigned to what is now known as the Food Safety and Inspection Service, which remains in the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The first federal law regulating foods and drugs, the 1906 Act 's reach was limited to foods and drugs moving in interstate commerce. Although the law drew upon many precedents, provisions, and legal experiments pioneered in individual states, the federal law defined `` misbranding '' and `` adulteration '' for the first time and prescribed penalties for each. The law recognized the U.S. Pharmacopeia and the National Formulary as standards authorities for drugs, but made no similar provision for federal food standards. The law was principally a `` truth in labeling '' law designed to raise standards in the food and drug industries and protect the reputations and pocketbooks of honest businessmen. Particular drugs deemed dangerous ( edit ) Under the law, drug labels, for example, had to list any of 10 ingredients that were deemed `` addictive '' and / or `` dangerous '' on the product label if they were present, and could not list them if they were not present. Alcohol, morphine, opium, and cannabis were all included on the list of these `` addictive '' and / or `` dangerous '' drugs. The law also established a federal cadre of food and drug inspectors that one Southern opponent of the legislation criticized as `` a Trojan horse with a bellyful of inspectors and other employees. '' Penalties under the law were modest, but an under - appreciated provision of the Act proved more powerful than monetary penalties. Goods found in violation of various areas of the law were subject to seizure and destruction at the expense of the manufacturer. That, combined with a legal requirement that all convictions be published as Notices of Judgment, proved to be important tools in the enforcement of the statute and had a deterrent effect upon would - be violators. Deficiencies in this original statute, which had become noticeable by the 1920s, led to the replacement of the 1906 statute with the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act which was enacted in 1938 and signed by President Franklin Roosevelt. This act, along with its numerous amendments, remains the statutory basis for federal regulation of all foods, drugs, biological products, cosmetics, medical devices, tobacco, and radiation - emitting devices by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. History of passage ( edit ) It took 27 years to the 1906 statute, during which time the public was made aware of many problems with foods and drugs in the U.S. Muckraking journalists, such as Samuel Hopkins Adams, targeted the patent medicine industry with its high - alcoholic content patent medicines, soothing syrups for infants with opium derivatives, and `` red clauses '' in newspaper contracts providing that patent medicine ads ( upon which most newspapers of the time were dependent ) would be withdrawn if the paper expressed support for food and drug regulatory legislation. The Chief Chemist of the Bureau of Chemistry, Dr. Harvey Washington Wiley, captured the country 's attention with his hygienic table studies, which began with a modest Congressional appropriation in 1902. The goal of the table trial was to study the human effects of common preservatives used in foods during a period of rapid changes in the food supply brought about by the need to feed cities and support an industrializing nation increasingly dependent on immigrant labor. Wiley recruited young men to eat all their meals at a common table as he added increased `` doses '' of preservatives including borax, benzoate, formaldehyde, sulfites, and salicylates. The table trials captured the nation 's fancy and were soon dubbed `` The Poison Squad '' by newspapers covering the story. The men soon adopted the motto `` Only the Brave dare eat the fare '' and at times the publicity given to the trials became a burden. Though many results of the trial came to be in dispute, there was no doubt that formaldehyde was dangerous and it disappeared quickly as a preservative. Wiley himself felt that he had found adverse effects from large doses of each of the preservatives and the public seemed to agree with Wiley. In many cases, most particularly with ketchup and other condiments, the use of preservatives was often used to disguise insanitary production practices. Although the law itself did not proscribe the use of some of these preservatives, consumers increasingly turned away from many products with known preservatives. The 1906 statute regulated food and drugs moving in interstate commerce and forbade the manufacture, sale, or transportation of poisonous patent medicines. The Act arose due to public education and exposés from public interest guardians such as Upton Sinclair and Samuel Hopkins Adams, social activist Florence Kelley, researcher Harvey W. Wiley, and President Theodore Roosevelt. Beginnings of the Food and Drug Administration ( edit ) The 1906 Act paved the way for the eventual creation of the Food and Drug Administration ( FDA ) and is generally considered to be that agency 's founding date, though the agency existed before the law was passed and was not named FDA until later. `` While the Food and Drug act remains a foundational law of the FDA mission, it 's not the law that created the FDA. ( Initially, ) the Bureau of Chemistry ( the precursor to the FDA ) regulated food safety. In 1927, the Bureau was reorganized into the Food, Drug, and Insecticide Administration and the Bureau of Chemistry and Soils. The FDIA was renamed the FDA in 1930. '' The law itself was largely replaced by the much more comprehensive Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act of 1938. Enforcement of labeling and future ramifications ( edit ) The Pure Food and Drug Act was initially concerned with ensuring products were labeled correctly. Later efforts were made to outlaw certain products that were not safe, followed by efforts to outlaw products which were safe but not effective. For example, there was an attempt to outlaw Coca - Cola in 1909 because of its excessive caffeine content ; caffeine had replaced cocaine as the active ingredient in Coca - Cola in 1903. In the case United States v. Forty Barrels and Twenty Kegs of Coca - Cola, the judge found that Coca - Cola had a right to use caffeine as it saw fit, although Coca - Cola eventually lost when the government appealed to the Supreme Court. It reached a settlement with the United States government to reduce the caffeine amount. In addition to caffeine, the Pure Food and Drug Act required that drugs such as alcohol, cocaine, heroin, morphine, and cannabis, be accurately labeled with contents and dosage. Previously many drugs had been sold as patent medicines with secret ingredients or misleading labels. Cocaine, heroin, cannabis, and other such drugs continued to be legally available without prescription as long as they were labeled. It is estimated that sale of patent medicines containing opiates decreased by 33 % after labeling was mandated. The Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906 is cited by drug policy reform advocates such as James P. Gray as a successful model for re-legalization of currently prohibited drugs by requiring accurate labels, monitoring of purity and dose, and consumer education.

Flank steak Different cuts of beef Type cut of beef The flank steak is a beef steak cut from the abdominal muscles or lower chest of the cow. The cut is common in Colombia, where it is known as sobrebarriga, literally meaning `` over the belly ''. A thin flank steak in South America is known as a matambre. Contents ( hide ) 1 Description 2 See also 3 References 4 External links Description ( edit ) Raw flank steak. The surface layer of fat has been removed from the steak on the right. A relatively long and flat cut, flank steak is used in a variety of dishes including London broil and as an alternative to the traditional skirt steak in fajitas. It can be grilled, pan-fried, broiled, or braised for increased tenderness. Grain ( meat fibre ) is very apparent in flank steaks, as it comes from a well - exercised part of the cow, and many chefs cut across the grain to make the meat more tender. Flank steak is best when it has a bright red color. It is frequently used in Asian cuisine, often sold in Chinese markets as `` stir - fry beef ''.

'' He also said of the song : That 's a love song made up almost completely of non sequiturs, phrases that may have a strong emotional resonance but do n't have any narrative qualities. It 's a real honest kind of love song. I do n't think I 've ever done a real love song before. Mine always had a sort of reservation, or a twist. I tried to write one that was n't corny, that did n't sound stupid or lame the way many do. I think I succeeded ; I was pretty happy with that. According to the Stop Making Sense commentary track, the title `` Naive Melody '' refers to the music. On the track, the guitar part and the bass part are doing the same thing throughout the whole song. According to David Byrne, many professional musicians would not play a song written in that fashion, and that is what makes the melody naive. Byrne played the lead keyboard solo. Bassist Tina Weymouth stated in the liner notes of Once in a Lifetime : The Best of Talking Heads that the song was created through `` truly naive '' experimentation with different instruments and jamming. Weymouth played guitar, guitarist Jerry Harrison played a Prophet synthesiser ( including the bassline ) Wally Badarou used the same synthesizer to add the stabs, and Byrne switched between guitar and another Prophet synthesizer, the latter of which he played using the pitch modulation wheel and `` campy '' piano glissandos. Pitchfork later described the song as `` an aberration for the Talking Heads. It was more of an exercise in understated musical hypnosis than polyrhythmic, Kuti - quoting funk, well - compressed instead of bursting at the seams, and ( in its abashed way ) it was a full - blown love song. (... ) With `` This Must Be the Place '', the band simplified their sound dramatically, condensing their sonic palette to the level of small EKG blips ( having switched instruments for a lark, this was nearly all they were able to reliably deliver chops-wise ) and wringing out only a few chords. '' Stop Making Sense ( edit ) The song is featured in Stop Making Sense ( 1984 ), a concert film featuring Talking Heads and directed by Jonathan Demme. Throughout the Stop Making Sense version, Byrne and his bandmates perform by a standard lamp, while close - up images of various body parts are projected onto a screen behind them. As revealed on the commentary to the film, the body parts belong to Byrne and his girlfriend ( later wife ) Adelle Lutz who was also known as Bonnie. When the song reaches a bridge, the musicians step back and Byrne dances with the lamp, a reference to Fred Astaire 's similar dance with a coat - rack in the film Royal Wedding. During the song, Weymouth is seen playing a rare Fender Swinger electric guitar, instead of her usual bass. The Stop Making Sense version was released as single in 1986, peaking at # 100 on the UK Singles Chart. Critical reception ( edit ) In 2015, Pitchfork ranked the song at number 22 in their list of `` The 200 Best Songs of the 1980s, '' with Winston Cook - Wilson of the website saying : `` In the process of stripping down, Talking Heads showcased something at the root of their art : David Byrne 's inimitable gift for melody, and his unique ability to make every musical figure seem both familiar and tied directly to the lyrical thought ( see ' I feel numb... born with a weak heart / I guess I must be having fun ' ). Is there a better moment of catharsis in a pop then the song 's final eureka realization, after Byrne gets whacked with the monolithic spiritual hammer and awakes from a life - encompassing daze into unexpected stability? There 's nothing to narrow his eyes at anymore : ' Cover up the blank spots, hit me on the head / Aaoooh, aaooh, aaooh, aaoooh. ' For a band rarely given to addressing issues of the heart head - on, ' Naive Melody ' remains an unexpected and peerless achievement. '' Music video ( edit ) The music video depicts the band members and their session musicians watching light - hearted home movies, before going down into the basement and playing their instruments. In other media ( edit ) The name of the song serves as the title of a 2011 drama film starring Sean Penn as an aging rock star. In one scene, the main character attends a concert in which David Byrne performs the song. The song was featured in the 2007 film Lars and the Real Girl during a party scene. It was also featured in the Oliver Stone 1987 film Wall Street, starring Michael Douglas and Charlie Sheen, as well as the 2010 sequel, Wall Street : Money Never Sleeps. In 2011 the song briefly appears in the Steve Carell romantic - comedy Crazy, Stupid, Love. The song is briefly played in the 2009 romantic - comedy He 's Just Not That into You. The song briefly appears on a radio in the Once Upon a Time episode `` Welcome to Storybrooke ''. Part of the song was played in the final moments of the Season 6 premiere of the Northern Exposure episode `` Dinner at Seven - Thirty '' in September 1994.

N verify ( what is? ) Infobox references Copper ( II ) nitrate, Cu ( N O ), is an inorganic compound that forms a blue crystalline solid. Anhydrous copper nitrate forms deep blue - green crystals and sublimes in a vacuum at 150 - 200 ° C. Copper nitrate also occurs as five different hydrates, the most common ones being the trihydrate and hexahydrate. These materials are more commonly encountered in commerce than in the laboratory. Contents ( hide ) 1 Synthesis and reactions for copper nitrate 2 Structure 2.1 Anhydrous copper ( II ) nitrate 2.2 Hydrated copper ( II ) nitrate 3 Applications 3.1 Organic Synthesis 4 References 5 External links Synthesis and reactions for copper nitrate ( edit ) Aqueous solution of copper ( II ) nitrate. Hydrated copper nitrate can be prepared by hydration of the anhydrous material or by treating copper metal with an aqueous solution of silver nitrate or concentrated nitric acid : Cu + 4 HNO → Cu ( NO ) + 2 H O + 2 NO Anhydrous Cu ( NO ) forms when copper metal is treated with N O : Cu + 2 N O → Cu ( NO ) + 2 NO Attempted dehydration of any of the hydrated copper ( II ) nitrates by heating instead affords the oxides, not Cu ( NO ). At 80 ° C, the hydrates convert to `` basic copper nitrate '' ( Cu ( NO ) ( OH ) ), which converts to CuO at 180 ° C. Exploiting this reactivity, copper nitrate can be used to generate nitric acid by heating it until decomposition and passing the fumes directly into water. This method is similar to the last step in the Ostwald process. The equations are as follows : 2 Cu ( NO ) → 2 CuO + 4 NO + O 3NO + H O → 2HNO + NO Natural basic copper nitrates include the rare minerals gerhardtite and rouaite, both being polymorphs of Cu ( NO ) ( OH ) substance. Structure ( edit ) Anhydrous copper ( II ) nitrate ( edit ) Anhydrous copper ( II ) nitrate has been crystallized in two solvate - free polymorphs. α - and β - Cu ( NO ) are fully 3D coordination polymer networks. The alpha form has only one Cu environment, with ( 4 + 1 ) coordination, but the beta form has two different copper centers, one with ( 4 + 1 ) and one that is square planar. The nitromethane solvate also features `` ( 4 + 1 ) coordination '', with four short Cu - O bonds of approximately 200 pm and one longer bond at 240 pm. They are coordination polymers, with infinite chains of copper ( II ) centers and nitrate groups. In the gas phase, copper ( II ) nitrate features two bidentate nitrate ligands ( see image at upper right ). Thus, evaporation of the solid entails `` cracking '' to give the copper ( II ) nitrate molecule. Hydrated copper ( II ) nitrate ( edit ) Five hydrates have been reported : the monohydrate ( Cu ( NO ) H O ), the sesquihydrate ( Cu ( NO ) 1.5 H O ), the hemipentahydrate ( Cu ( NO ) 2.5 H O ), a trihydrate ( Cu ( NO ) 3H O ), and a hexahydrate ( ( Cu ( H O ) ) ( NO ) ). The hexahydrate is interesting because the Cu - O distances are all equal, not revealing the usual effect of Jahn - Teller distortion that is otherwise characteristic of octahedral Cu ( II ) complexes. This non-effect is attributed to the strong hydrogen bonding that limits the elasticity of the Cu - O bonds. Applications ( edit ) Copper ( II ) nitrate finds a variety of applications, the main one being its conversion to copper ( II ) oxide, which is used as catalyst for a variety of processes in organic chemistry. Its solutions are used in textiles and polishing agents for other metals. Copper nitrates are found in some pyrotechnics. It is often used in school laboratories to demonstrate chemical voltaic cell reactions. Organic Synthesis ( edit ) Copper nitrate, in combination with acetic anhydride, is an effective reagent for nitration of aromatic compounds, under what are known as `` Menke conditions '', in honor of the Dutch chemist who discovered that metal nitrates are effective reagents for nitration. Hydrated copper nitrate adsorbed onto clay affords a reagent called `` Claycop ''. The resulting blue - colored clay is used as a slurry, for example for the oxidation of thiols to disulfides. Claycop is also used to convert dithioacetals to carbonyls. A related reagent based on montmorillonite has proven useful for the nitration of aromatic compounds.

Elements to the lower left of the line generally display increasing metallic behaviour ; elements to the upper right display increasing nonmetallic behaviour. When presented as a regular stair - step, elements with the highest critical temperature for their groups ( Li, Be, Al, Ge, Sb, Po ) lie just below the line. Contents ( hide ) 1 Names 2 Double line variant 3 Concerns 4 Notes 5 Citations 6 References 7 External links Names ( edit ) This line has been called the amphoteric line, the metal - nonmetal line, the metalloid line, the semimetal line, or the staircase. It is also erroneously referred to as the Zintl border or the Zintl line. The last two terms instead refer to a vertical line sometimes drawn between groups 13 and 14. This particular line was christened by Laves in 1941. It differentiates group 13 elements from those in and to the right of group 14. The former generally combine with electropositive metals to make intermetallic compounds whereas the latter usually form salt - like compounds. = = History = = k References to a dividing line between metals and nonmetals appear in the literature as far back as at least 1869. In 1891, Walker published a periodic ' tabulation ' with a diagonal straight line drawn between the metals and the nonmetals. In 1906, Alexander Smith published a periodic table with a zigzag line separating the nonmetals from the rest of elements, in his highly influential textbook Introduction to General Inorganic Chemistry. In 1923, Horace G. Deming, an American chemist, published short ( Mendeleev style ) and medium ( 18 - column ) form periodic tables. Each one had a regular stepped line separating metals from nonmetals. Merck and Company prepared a handout form of Deming 's 18 - column table, in 1928, which was widely circulated in American schools. By the 1930s Deming 's table was appearing in handbooks and encyclopaedias of chemistry. It was also distributed for many years by the Sargent - Welch Scientific Company. Double line variant ( edit ) A dividing line between metals and nonmetals is sometimes replaced by two dividing lines. One line separates metals and metalloids ; the other metalloids and nonmetals. Concerns ( edit ) Mendeleev wrote that, ' It is... impossible to draw a strict line of demarcation between metals and nonmetals, there being many intermediate substances '. Several other sources note confusion or ambiguity as to the location of the dividing line ; suggest its apparent arbitrariness provides grounds for refuting its validity ; and comment as to its misleading, contentious or approximate nature. Deming himself noted that the line could not be drawn very accurately. Notes ( edit ) Jump up ^ Sacks described the dividing line as, ' A jagged line, like Hadrian 's Wall... ( separating ) the metals from the rest, with a few `` semimetals, '' metalloids -- arsenic, selenium -- straddling the wall. ' Jump up ^ In the context of Mendeleev 's observation, Glinka adds that : ' In classing an element as a metal or a nonmetal we only indicate which of its properties -- metallic or nonmetallic -- are more pronounced in it '. Jump up ^ Mendeleev regarded tellurium as such an intermediate substance : '... it is a bad conductor of heat and electricity, and in this respect, as in many others, it forms a transition from the metals to the nonmetals.

{ "text": "Chapters and verses of the Bible - wikipedia Chapters and verses of the Bible The Gospel according to John - a text showing chapter and verse divisions ( King James Version ) The Bible is a compilation of many shorter books written at different times by a variety of authors, and later assembled into the biblical canon. Since the early 13th century, most copies and editions of the Bible present all but the shortest of these books with divisions into chapters, generally a page or so in length. Since the mid-16th century editors have further subdivided each chapter into verses - each consisting of a few short lines or sentences. Sometimes a sentence spans more than one verse, as in the case of Ephesians 2 : 8 -- 9, and sometimes there is more than one sentence in a single verse, as in the case of Genesis 1 : 2. As the chapter and verse divisions did not appear in the original texts, they form part of the paratext of the Bible. The Jewish divisions of the Hebrew text differ at various points from those used by Christians. For instance, in Jewish tradition, the ascriptions to many Psalms are regarded as independent verses or parts of the subsequent verses, making 116 more verses, whereas established Christian practice treats each Psalm ascription as independent and unnumbered. Some chapter divisions also occur in different places, e.g. Hebrew Bibles have 1 Chronicles 5 : 27 -- 41 where Christian translations have 1 Chronicles 6 : 1 -- 15.

'' ~ Isaiah 2 : 4 KJV ( Bible verse across the street from the United Nations Building in New York City ) Chapters ( edit ) Early manuscripts of the biblical texts did not contain the chapter and verse divisions in the numbered form familiar to modern readers. In antiquity Hebrew texts were divided into paragraphs ( parashot ) that were identified by two letters of the Hebrew alphabet. Peh פ indicated an `` open '' paragraph that began on a new line, while Samekh ס indicated a `` closed '' paragraph that began on the same line after a small space. These two letters begin the Hebrew words open ( patuach ) and closed ( sagoor ), and are, themselves, open פ and closed ס. The earliest known copies of the Book of Isaiah from the Dead Sea Scrolls used parashot divisions, although they differ slightly from the Masoretic divisions. ( This is different from the use of consecutive letters of the Hebrew alphabet to structure certain poetic compositions, known as acrostics, such as several of the Psalms and most of the Book of Lamentations. ) The Hebrew Bible was also divided into some larger sections. In Israel the Torah ( its first five books ) were divided into 154 sections so that they could be read through aloud in weekly worship over the course of three years. In Babylonia it was divided into 53 or 54 sections ( Parashat ha - Shavua ) so it could be read through in one year. The New Testament was divided into topical sections known as kephalaia by the fourth century. Eusebius of Caesarea divided the gospels into parts that he listed in tables or canons. Neither of these systems corresponds with modern chapter divisions. ( See fuller discussions below. ) Chapter divisions, with titles, are also found in the 9th century Tours manuscript, Paris Bibliothèque Nationale MS Lat. 3, the so - called Bible of Rorigo. Archbishop Stephen Langton and Cardinal Hugo de Sancto Caro developed different schemas for systematic division of the Bible in the early 13th century. It is the system of Archbishop Langton on which the modern chapter divisions are based. While chapter divisions have become nearly universal, editions of the Bible have sometimes been published without them. Such editions, which typically use thematic or literary criteria to divide the biblical books instead, include John Locke 's Paraphrase and Notes on the Epistles of St. Paul ( 1707 ), Alexander Campbell 's The Sacred Writings ( 1826 ), Daniel Berkeley Updike 's fourteen - volume The Holy Bible Containing the Old and New Testaments and the Apocrypha, Richard Moulton 's The Modern Reader 's Bible ( 1907 ), Ernest Sutherland Bates 's The Bible Designed to Be Read as Living Literature ( 1936 ), The Books of the Bible ( 2007 ) from the International Bible Society ( Biblica ), Adam Lewis Greene 's five - volume Bibliotheca ( 2014 ), and the six - volume ESV Reader 's Bible ( 2016 ) from Crossway Books. Verses ( edit ) Since at least 916 the Tanakh has contained an extensive system of multiple levels of section, paragraph, and phrasal divisions that were indicated in Masoretic vocalization and cantillation markings. One of the most frequent of these was a special type of punctuation, the sof passuq, symbol for a full stop or sentence break, resembling the colon ( : ) of English and Latin orthography. With the advent of the printing press and the translation of the Bible into English, Old Testament versifications were made that correspond predominantly with the existing Hebrew full stops, with a few isolated exceptions. Most attribute these to Rabbi Isaac Nathan ben Kalonymus 's work for the first Hebrew Bible concordance around 1440. The first person to divide New Testament chapters into verses was Italian Dominican biblical scholar Santi Pagnini ( 1470 -- 1541 ), but his system was never widely adopted. His verse divisions in the New Testament were far longer than those known today. Robert Estienne created an alternate numbering in his 1551 edition of the Greek New Testament which was also used in his 1553 publication of the Bible in French. Estienne 's system of division was widely adopted, and it is this system which is found in almost all modern Bibles. Estienne produced a 1555 Vulgate that is the first Bible to include the verse numbers integrated into the text. Before this work, they were printed in the margins. The first English New Testament to use the verse divisions was a 1557 translation by William Whittingham ( c. 1524 -- 1579 ). The first Bible in English to use both chapters and verses was the Geneva Bible published shortly afterwards in 1560. These verse divisions soon gained acceptance as a standard way to notate verses, and have since been used in nearly all English Bibles and the vast majority of those in other languages. ( Nevertheless, some Bibles have removed the verse numbering, including the ones noted above that also removed chapter numbers ; a recent example of an edition that removed only verses, not chapters, is The Message : The Bible in Contemporary Language by Eugene H. Peterson. ) Jewish tradition ( edit ) Main article : Tanakh § Chapters and verse numbers, book divisions The Hebrew Masoretic text of the Bible notes several different kinds of subdivisions within the biblical books : Verse endings ( edit ) Main article : Sof passuk Most important are the verse endings. According to the Talmudic tradition, the division of the text into verses is of ancient origin. In Masoretic versions of the Bible, the end of a verse is indicated by a small mark in its final word called a silluq ( which means `` stop '' ). Less formally, verse endings are usually also indicated by two horizontal dots following the word with a silluq. Parashiyot ( edit ) Main article : Parashah The Masoretic textual tradition also contains section endings called parashot, which are usually indicated by a space within a line ( a `` closed '' section ) or a new line beginning ( an `` open '' section ). The division of the text reflected in the parashot is usually thematic. Unlike chapters, the parashot are not numbered, but some of them have special titles. In early manuscripts ( most importantly in Tiberian Masoretic manuscripts, such as the Aleppo codex ), an `` open '' section may also be represented by a blank line, and a `` closed '' section by a new line that is slightly indented ( the preceding line may also not be full ). These latter conventions are no longer used in Torah scrolls and printed Hebrew Bibles. In this system, the one rule differentiating `` open '' and `` closed '' sections is that `` open '' sections must always start at the beginning of a new line, while `` closed '' sections never start at the beginning of a new line. Sedarim ( edit ) Another division of the biblical books found in the Masoretic text is the division of the sedarim. This division is not thematic, but is almost entirely based upon the quantity of text. For the Torah, this division reflects the triennial cycle of reading that was practiced by the Jews of the Land of Israel. Christian versions ( edit ) The Byzantines also introduced a concept roughly similar to chapter divisions, called kephalaia ( singular kephalaion, literally meaning heading ). This system, which was in place no later than the 5th century, is not identical to the present chapters. Unlike the modern chapters, which tend to be of roughly similar length, the distance from one kephalaion mark to the next varied greatly in length both within a book and from one book to the next. For example, the Sermon on the Mount, comprising three chapters in the modern system, has but one kephalaion mark, while the single modern chapter 8 of the Gospel of Matthew has several, one per miracle. Moreover, there were far fewer kephalaia in the Gospel of John than in the Gospel of Mark, even though the latter is the shorter text. In the manuscripts, the kephalaia with their numbers, their standard titles ( titloi ) and their page numbers would be listed at the beginning of each biblical book ; in the book 's main body, they would be marked only with arrow - shaped or asterisk - like symbols in the margin, not in the text itself. The titles usually referred to the first event or the first theological point of the section only, and some kephalaia are manifestly incomplete if one stops reading at the point where the next kephalaion begins ( for example, the combined accounts of the miracles of the Daughter of Jairus and of the healing of the woman with a haemorrhage gets two marked kephalaia, one titled of the daughter of the synagogue ruler at the beginning when the ruler approaches Jesus and one titled of the woman with the flow of blood where the woman enters the picture -- well before the ruler 's daughter is healed and the storyline of the previous kephalaion is thus properly concluded ). Thus the kephalaia marks are rather more like a system of bookmarks or links into a continuous text, helping a reader to quickly find one of several well - known episodes, than like a true system of chapter divisions. Cardinal Hugo de Sancto Caro is often given credit for first dividing the Latin Vulgate into chapters in the real sense, but it is the arrangement of his contemporary and fellow cardinal Stephen Langton who in 1205 created the chapter divisions which are used today. They were then inserted into Greek manuscripts of the New Testament in the 16th century. Robert Estienne ( Robert Stephanus ) was the first to number the verses within each chapter, his verse numbers entering printed editions in 1551 ( New Testament ) and 1571 ( Hebrew Bible ). The division of the Bible into chapters and verses has received criticism from some traditionalists and modern scholars. Critics state that the text is often divided in an incoherent way, or at inappropriate rhetorical points, and that it encourages citing passages out of context. Nevertheless, the chapter and verse numbers have become indispensable as technical references for Bible study. Several modern publications of the Bible have eliminated numbering of chapters and verses. Biblica published such a version of the NIV in 2007 and 2011. In 2014, Crossway published the ESV Reader 's Bible and Bibliotheca published a modified ASV. Projects such as Icthus also exist which strip chapter and verse numbers from existing translations. Protestant Bible statistics ( edit ) The number of words can vary depending upon aspects such as whether the Hebrew alphabet in Psalm 119, the superscriptions listed in some of the Psalms, and the subscripts traditionally found at the end of the Pauline epistles, are included. Except where stated, the following apply to the King James Version of the Bible in its modern 66 - book Protestant form including the New Testament and the protocanonical Old Testament, not the deuterocanonical books. Chapters ( edit ) There are 929 chapters in the Old Testament. 187 chapters in the Pentateuch 249 chapters in the Historical books 243 chapters in the Poetic books ( `` Wisdom '' ) 183 chapters in the Major prophets 67 chapters in the Minor prophets There are 260 chapters in the New Testament. 89 chapters in the Gospels 28 chapters in Acts 87 chapters in the Pauline Epistles ( excluding Hebrews ) 34 chapters in the General Epistles ( including Hebrews ) 22 chapters in Revelation This gives a total of 1,189 chapters ( on average, 18 per book ). Psalm 117, the shortest chapter, is also the middle chapter of the Bible, being the 595th Chapter. Psalm 117 is the shortest chapter of the Bible. Psalm 119 is the longest chapter of the Bible. Five books are a single chapter : Obadiah, Philemon, 2 & 3 John, Jude. In many printed editions, the chapter number is omitted for these books, and references just use the verse numbers.

This gives a total of 31,102 verses, which is an average of a little more than 26 verses per chapter. Contrary to popular belief, Psalm 118 does not contain the middle verse of the Bible. The King James Version has an even number of verses ( 31,102 ), with the two middle verses being Psalm 103 : 1 -- 2. John 11 : 35 ( `` Jesus wept '' ) is the shortest verse in most English translations. Some translations -- including the New International Version, New Living Translation, New Life Version, Holman Christian Standard Bible and New International Reader 's Version -- render Job 3 : 2 as `` He said ''. However, that is a translators ' condensation of the Hebrew which literally translated is : `` And Job answered and said. '' The shortest verse in the Greek New Testament is Luke 20 : 30 ( `` και ο δευτερος '', `` And the second '' ) with twelve letters, according to the Westcott and Hort text. In the Textus Receptus, the shortest verse is 1 Thessalonians 5 : 16 ( `` παντοτε χαιρετε '', `` Rejoice always '' ) with fourteen letters, since Stephanus ' rendering of Luke 20 : 30 includes some additional words. Isaiah 10 : 8 ( `` Dicet enim '' ) is the shortest verse in the Latin Vulgate. Esther 8 : 9 is the longest verse in the Masoretic Text. The discovery of several manuscripts at Qumran ( in the Dead Sea Scrolls ) has reopened what is considered the most original text of 1 Samuel 11 ; if one believes that those manuscripts better preserve the text, several verses in 1 Samuel 11 surpass Esther 8 : 9 in length.

This could happen and may result to resignation, giving up the title, or dethronement The titleholder is dethroned due to deeds that violate the organization 's policies. This has only happened in 2002. There were instances that the winner is not replaced by the first runner - up, when she decides to voluntarily resign from her position, given the formal permission from the organization ( 1952 and 1974 ). This table lists the number of 1st runner - up titles by country. There are some special considerations : Hawaii competed as an independent territory from 1952 to 1959, before it joined the United States, holding one 1st runner - up title on its own. The United Kingdom ( currently competing under the name of Great Britain ) competed separatedly as England ( from 1955 to 1962 and then again from 1964 to 1990 ), Scotland ( from 1961 to 1986 and then again from 1988 to 1990 ) and Wales ( from 1961 to 1990 ), holding a total of four 1st runner - up titles which are counted together. As Panama took over the Miss Universe title in 2002, it is unknown if the 1st runner - up position was taken by another candidate after the succession took place.

Although it has never happened, the second runner - up is supposed to take over the Miss Universe title if both the original winner and the first runner - up are unable to fulfill their duties / resign their titles. For example, if a Miss Universe winner is required to give up her title and the first runner - up is unable / does not want to assume the winner 's position, the title then passes to the second runner - up. This table lists the number of 2nd runner - up titles by country. There are some special considerations as well : Hawaii competed as an independent territory from 1952 to 1959, before it joined the United States, holding one 2nd runner - up title on its own.

It is unknown if Zhuo Ling, Miss Universe 2002 second runner - up, took over the first runner - up position after Justine Pasek took over the winner 's place, as no official statements regarding this matter were made by the organization.

Front office Owner ( s ) Mark Attanasio Manager Craig Counsell General Manager David Stearns The Milwaukee Brewers are an American professional baseball team based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The Brewers compete in Major League Baseball ( MLB ) as a member club of the National League ( NL ) Central division. The team is named for the city 's association with the brewing industry. Since 2001, the Brewers have played their home games at Miller Park, which has a seating capacity of 41,900. The team was founded in 1969 as the Seattle Pilots, an expansion team of the American League ( AL ), in Seattle, Washington. The Pilots played their home games at Sick 's Stadium. After only one season, the team relocated to Milwaukee, becoming known as the Brewers and playing their home games at Milwaukee County Stadium. In 1998, the Brewers joined the National League. They are the only franchise to play in four divisions since the advent of divisional play in Major League Baseball in 1969. They are also one of two MLB franchises to switch leagues in their history, along with the Houston Astros. The team 's only World Series appearance came in 1982. After winning the ALCS against the California Angels, the Brewers faced off against the St. Louis Cardinals in the World Series, losing 4 -- 3. In 2011, the Brewers won the NLDS versus the Arizona Diamondbacks 3 -- 2, but lost in the NLCS to the eventual World Series - champion Cardinals, 4 -- 2.

They would continue to play in the West Division for two more years. Before the beginning of the 1972 season the Brewers agreed to switch over to the American League East to make room for the Texas Rangers who had relocated from Washington. Beginning in 1994, due divisional re-allignment, the Brewers moved to the newly created American League Central division. In all, the Brewers were part of the American League from their creation in 1969 through the 1997 season, after which they moved to the National League Central Division. Milwaukee had previously been a National League city when its team was the Milwaukee Braves ( 1953 -- 1965 ). In 1981, Milwaukee won the American League East Division in the second half of the strike - shortened season. In the playoffs, they lost the divisional series to the New York Yankees, three games to two. In 1982, Milwaukee won the American League East Division and the American League Pennant, earning their only World Series appearance to date as the Brewers. In the Series, they lost to the St. Louis Cardinals four games to three. In 1998, the Brewers changed leagues, going from the American League to the National League. In 2008, for the first time in the 26 years since their World Series appearance, the Brewers advanced to postseason play by winning the National League wild card. They were eliminated in the National League Division Series by the eventual World Series champion Philadelphia Phillies. On September 23, 2011, the Milwaukee Brewers clinched their first division title in 29 years. They won the National League Division Series in five games over the Arizona Diamondbacks, but lost the National League Championship Series to the eventual World Series champion St. Louis Cardinals in six games. Team uniforms ( edit ) Uniforms ( edit ) 1970 -- 77 ( edit ) The first Brewers uniforms were `` hand - me - downs '' from the Seattle Pilots. Because the move to Milwaukee received final approval less than a week before the start of the season, there was no time to order new uniforms. Selig had originally planned to change the Brewers ' colors to navy blue and red in honor of the minor league American Association 's Milwaukee Brewers, but was forced to simply remove the Seattle markings from the Pilots ' blue - and - gold uniforms and sew `` BREWERS '' on the front. However, the outline of the Pilots ' logo remained visible. The uniforms had unique striping on the sleeves left over from the Pilots days. The cap was an updated version of the Milwaukee Braves cap in blue and yellow. Ultimately, it was decided to keep blue and gold as the team colors, and they have remained so ever since. The Brewers finally got their own flannel design in 1971. This design was essentially the same as the one used in 1970, but with blue and yellow piping on the sleeves and collar. In 1972, the Brewers entered the double - knit era with uniforms based upon their flannels : all white with `` BREWERS '' on the front and blue and yellow trim on the sleeves, neck, waistband and down the side of the pants. This is the uniform that Hank Aaron wore with the club in his final seasons and that Robin Yount wore in his first. During this period, the logo of the club was the Beer Barrel Man, which had been used by the previous minor league Brewers since at least the 1940s. The Brewers mascot, Bernie Brewer ( a man with a large yellow mustache wearing a Brewers hat ) was introduced in 1973. 1978 -- 93 ( edit ) The Brewers unveiled new uniforms for the 1978 season. The uniforms featured pinstripes with a solid blue collar and waistband. The road uniforms continued to be powder blue, but for the first time the city name, `` MILWAUKEE '', graced the chest in an upward slant. In addition, this season saw the introduction of the logo that was to define the club : `` M '' and `` B '' in the shape of a baseball glove. The logo was designed by Tom Meindel, an art history student at the University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire. The home cap was solid blue, and the road cap was blue with a yellow front panel. Additionally, their batting helmets had a white front panel. The club wore these uniforms in their pennant - winning season of 1982. Only minor changes were made until 1990 ; the color of the road uniforms changed to gray in 1985, while the blue - yellow - blue road cap and white - paneled batting helmets were abandoned at the same time. In 1990, the Brewers made significant modifications to their uniforms, switching from pullover to button - down jerseys ( the last American League team to do so ). Their individual uniforms showed other changes as well ; at home, the blue piping was removed and the block lettered `` BREWERS '' was changed to a script version similar to the script used on road uniforms, while those outfits had their piping changed from blue - yellow - blue to blue - yellow. The road jerseys were the first uniforms in franchise history to feature player names on the back ; names were added to the home jerseys beginning in 1993. 1994 -- 99 ( edit ) In 1994, in collaboration with the Brewers celebrating their 25th year in Milwaukee, the team did a radical makeover of their uniforms. The ball - in - glove logo was removed and replaced with a stylized interlocking `` M '' and `` B '' set on a pair of crossed bats and a diamond background. The royal blue changed to navy blue, while the yellow changed to a metallic gold. Forest green was added as a third color. The jerseys swapped pinstripes for retro - themed piping around the collar, buttons, and sleeves, following a trend that was popular in the 1990s. The uniforms ' lettering had the same style of letters as the new cap logo with heavily stylized `` BREWERS '' lettering on the home jerseys and `` MILWAUKEE '' on the road grays. For the first time, an alternative jersey was introduced. It was navy blue with the home `` BREWERS '' lettering on the front and featured the Brewers ' logo on the lower left side. The caps featured the interlocking `` MB '' logo ( without the bats or diamond ) on both the home and away versions. The home cap was completely navy blue, while the away cap featured a navy blue crown and a forest green bill. In 1997, the uniforms were slightly modified, with the main logo being removed from the caps and replaced with an `` M ''. All navy caps were worn with both the home and away uniforms ; the home hats featured a white `` M '' and the road caps had a gold `` M. '' The green socks that had previously been worn on the road were changed to navy blue. The blue alternate jersey placed the player 's number on the lower left side instead of the logo. 2000 -- present ( edit ) Before the 2000 season, to coincide with the anticipated opening of Miller Park, the Brewers changed their uniforms again. The block letters on the front were replaced with `` Brewers '' in a flowing script, and green was removed as the third color. The cap logo was a script `` M '', similar in style to the Miller logo, with a head of barley underlining it, symbolizing Milwaukee 's beer - making industry. The home uniforms also featured a patch on the left sleeve consisting of the cap logo with a gold outline of the state of Wisconsin behind it, showing the Brewers statewide appeal. The road uniforms were grey and featured the same script `` Brewers '' on the front, with a simple patch on the left sleeve bearing a script `` Milwaukee ''. There was also an alternate navy blue jersey that had the same features as the home jersey. Although the uniforms were supposed to debut with the opening of Miller Park, the Big Blue crane collapse in July 1999, which cost the lives of three workers and caused damage to the first base side of the stadium, delayed the opening of Miller Park for one year, so the uniforms actually debuted at Milwaukee County Stadium in the ballpark 's final year. In 2006, the Brewers introduced Retro Sundays, when the Brewers would wear uniforms featuring the `` ball - in - glove '' logo. The uniforms are similar to the uniforms worn from 1978 to 1989, but with some modern modifications, such as the uniforms being button - up instead of pullover, displaying players ' last names on the backs of the jerseys, and a `` ball - in - glove '' logo patch on the left sleeve. In 2007, the Retro day was changed from Sunday to Friday, though they may also be worn outside of those days if a starting pitcher chooses the retro uniforms to wear during his start. In 2010, the Brewers debuted a new alternate road jersey which, like the other alternate jersey, is navy blue, but bears a script `` Milwaukee '' on the front. In 2013, a gold alternate jersey with `` Brewers '' on the front was introduced, as well. During the off - season before the 2013 season, the Brewers allowed fans to design their own Milwaukee Brewers uniforms. Three finalists were chosen, which fans were given the opportunity to vote for their favorite through the Brewers website. The winning uniform was designed by Ben Peters of Richfield, Minnesota, and was worn by the Brewers for two spring training games. In 2016, the Brewers replaced their road navy and home gold alternates with a new navy alternate jersey. The uniform is similar to the previous road navy alternate but with yellow replacing gold as the trim color, and will be paired with a navy cap featuring the `` ball - and - glove '' logo. The navy road alternate has been worn far more often in 2016 than the official gray road jersey, although it has also been used on home games.

See also : List of Milwaukee Brewers broadcasters The Brewers ' flagship radio station is WTMJ ( 620 AM ). Bob Uecker, a winner of the Ford C. Frick Award from the Baseball Hall of Fame, joined the Brewers in 1970, when the team moved from Seattle, and has been there ever since. Alongside Uecker are Jeff Levering and Lane Grindle. Levering joined the team 's radio broadcast in 2015 as a fill - in for Uecker on select road games and Grindle joined the team in 2016, replacing Joe Block, who had left to join the Pittsburgh Pirates after the 2015 season. Block replaced Cory Provus who had left to become the Minnesota Twins lead broadcaster on radio after the 2011 season. Provus, formerly of WGN radio in Chicago, replaced Jim Powell, who left Milwaukee for the Atlanta Braves radio network. Powell in turn replaced Pat Hughes, who departed to do play - by - play for the Cubs on WGN in 1996. The Brewers radio broadcasts usually feature a 2 - 2 - 2 - 1 - 2 format where Uecker does solo play - by - play for the first, middle and last 2 innings, while Levering does innings 3 - 4 and 7, and both doing analysis throughout and varied presentation for extra innings games. Starting with the 2014 season Uecker cut back on the amount of road games he works due to health concerns, mainly involving West Coast trips and distant road games in Colorado and Atlanta ; Block handled the play - by - play, with former Brewer and Met Darryl Hamilton on color for the first series at Atlanta. Select daytime home games were formerly broadcast in Spanish over Waukesha - licensed ESPN Deportes Radio affiliate WRRD ( 1510 ), with Jaime Cano serving as play - by - play announcer. In 2017 the station was purchased by another party which instituted an English - language talk format, effectively ending that arrangement. Most of the team 's television broadcasts are aired on Fox Sports Wisconsin. Brian Anderson, who has worked on The Golf Channel, took over as the Brewers ' play - by - play announcer for the 2007 season. He replaced Daron Sutton, who joined the Arizona Diamondbacks. The color commentator is Bill Schroeder, a former major league catcher who played six of his eight seasons for the Brewers. As of 2014 Schroeder is in his 20th season as the Brewers ' color commentator. The 2010 season was the first year where all of Fox Sports Wisconsin 's games were broadcast in high definition. Anderson ( who also is a part of TBS 's playoff coverage ) also provided play - by - play for the 2011 NLCS due to Ernie Johnson stepping aside for the year due to a medical situation with his son. In 2014, as Anderson 's Turner Sports duties have increased along with the addition of NCAA college basketball and NBA on TNT play - by - play duties, Wisconsin Badgers football and men 's college basketball radio announcer Matt Lepay served as play - by - play man on days when Anderson was working for Turner. From 2007 -- 2011, the Brewers and FSN Wisconsin subcontracted to Weigel Broadcasting a package of 15 games and one spring training game over-the - air on WMLW - CA ( then - Channel 41 / 58.2 ) in Milwaukee each season with FSN Wisconsin producing the telecasts and Weigel selling air time for each of those games and additional games added depending on weather postponements and pennant race standings ( WMLW - CA games would air on the outstate FSN Wisconsin network for the remainder of the state ). The deal was ended before the 2012 season in order to facilitate full - season HD coverage on FSN Wisconsin and distribution complications, along with the addition of a `` Plus '' channel for Milwaukee Bucks play - by - play conflict situations. Weigel continues to air a few Sunday home broadcasts per year with Spanish language play - by - play on Telemundo affiliate WYTU - LD ( Channels 63 / 49.4 ), which produces their own broadcasts using FSN 's camera positions with Hector Molina on play - by - play and bilingual WDJT sports anchor Kevin Holden on color. Five of the six major network television stations in Milwaukee, along with WMLW - CA, have carried game broadcasts over the years, with WTMJ - TV being the original broadcaster in the 1970s. WVTV carried the team for the bulk of the 1980s and early 1990s, with WCGV - TV following from 1994 until 2004, and WISN - TV carrying select Sunday games at the beginning of the 2000s. WITI is the only station not to have carried local coverage of the team through its history ( though former WITI sports anchor and current Bucks play - by - play man Jim Paschke was the team 's TV announcer during its time with WVTV and portions of WCGV 's coverage contract ), although it has aired national games from CBS and Fox involving the Brewers through the years.

The show features a competition in which contestants solve word puzzles, similar to those used in Hangman, to win cash and prizes determined by spinning a giant carnival wheel. Wheel originally aired as a daytime series on NBC from January 6, 1975, to June 30, 1989. After some changes were made to its format, the daytime series moved to CBS from July 17, 1989, to January 11, 1991. It then returned to NBC from January 14, 1991, until it was cancelled on September 20, 1991. The popularity of the daytime series led to a nightly syndicated edition being developed, which premiered on September 19, 1983, and has aired continuously since. The network version was originally hosted by Chuck Woolery and Susan Stafford, with Charlie O'Donnell as its announcer. O'Donnell left in 1980 and was replaced by Jack Clark. After Clark 's death in 1988, M.G. Kelly took over briefly as announcer until O'Donnell returned in 1989. O'Donnell remained on the network version until its cancellation, and continued to announce on the syndicated show until his death in 2010, when Jim Thornton succeeded him. Woolery left in 1981, and was replaced by Pat Sajak. Sajak left the network version in January 1989 to host his own late - night talk show, and was replaced on that version by Rolf Benirschke. Bob Goen replaced Benirschke when the network show moved to CBS, then remained as host until the network show was canceled altogether. Stafford left in 1982, and was replaced by Vanna White, who remained on the network show for the rest of its run. The syndicated version has been hosted continuously by Sajak and White since its inception. Wheel of Fortune ranks as the longest - running syndicated game show in the United States, with over 6,000 episodes aired. TV Guide named it the `` top - rated syndicated series '' in a 2008 article, and in 2013, the magazine ranked it at No. 2 in its list of the 60 greatest game shows ever. The program has also come to gain a worldwide following with sixty international adaptations. The syndicated series ' 36th season premiered on September 10, 2018.

Each round has a category and a blank word puzzle, with each blank representing a letter in the answer, and punctuation revealed as needed. Most puzzles are straightforward figures of speech that fit within a mostly static list of categories, and this list has evolved over the course of the series. Crossword puzzles were added to the rotation in 2016. In such rounds, a clue bonding the words in the puzzle is given instead of a traditional category, and contestants win by solving all the words in the crossword. The titular Wheel of Fortune is a roulette - style wheel mechanism with 24 spaces, most of which are labeled with dollar amounts ranging from $500 to $900, plus a top dollar value : $2,500 in round 1, $3,500 in rounds 2 and 3, and $5,000 for round 4 and any subsequent rounds. The wheel also features two Bankrupt wedges and one Lose a Turn, both of which forfeit the contestant 's turn, with the former also eliminating any cash or prizes the contestant has accumulated within the round. Each game features three contestants, or occasionally, three two - contestant teams positioned behind a single scoreboard with its own flipper. The left scoreboard from the viewer 's perspective is colored red, the center yellow, and the right blue, with the contestants ' positions determined by a random selection prior to taping. A contestant spins the wheel to determine a dollar value and guess a consonant. Calling a correct letter earns the value before the corresponding flipper, multiplied by the number of times that the letter appears in the puzzle. Calling a correct letter keeps the wheel in the contestant 's control, allowing the contestant to spin again, buy a vowel for a flat rate of $250, or attempt to solve the puzzle. Contestants may continue to buy vowels so long as they have enough money to keep doing so, until all of the vowels in the puzzle have been revealed. Control passes to the next contestant clockwise if the wheel lands on Lose a Turn or Bankrupt, if the contestant calls a letter that is not in the puzzle, calls a letter that has already been called in that round, fails to call a letter within five seconds of the wheel stopping, or attempts unsuccessfully to solve the puzzle. The only exception is the Free Play wedge, on which the contestant may call a consonant for $500 per occurrence, call a free vowel, or solve the puzzle, with no penalty for an incorrect letter or answer. In the first three rounds, the wheel contains a Wild Card and a Gift Tag, while two 1⁄2 Car tags are present in rounds two and three only ( except on episodes with two - player teams ). The Wild Card may be used to call an additional consonant after any turn ( for the amount that the contestant has just spun ) or taken to the bonus round to call an extra consonant there. The Gift Tag offers either a $1,000 credit toward purchases from, or $1,000 in cash courtesy of the sponsoring company. The 1⁄2 Car tags award a car if the contestant wins the round ( s ) in which he or she claims both. Unlike the other tags, the 1⁄2 Car tags are replaced in subsequent rounds unless the car is won. A special wedge in the first two rounds awards a prize which is described by the announcer if won. All of the tags and the prize wedge are located over the $500 wedges, so calling a letter that appears in the puzzle when landed upon awards both the tag / wedge and $500 per every occurrence of that letter in the puzzle. The first three rounds also contain a special wedge which, if won and taken to the bonus round, offers an opportunity to play that round for $1,000,000. A contestant must solve the puzzle in order to keep any cash, prizes, or extras accumulated during that round except for the Wild Card, which is kept until the contestant either loses it to Bankrupt or uses it. Bankrupt does not affect score from previous rounds, but it does take away the Wild Card, individual 1⁄2 Car tags, and / or million dollar wedge if any was claimed in a previous round. Contestants who solve a round for less than $1,000 in cash and prizes ( $2,000 on weeks with two - contestant teams ) have their scores increased to that amount. Each game also features three toss - up puzzles, which reveal the puzzle one random letter at a time, and award cash to whoever rings in with the right answer. The first determines who is interviewed first by the host, the second determines who starts round 1, and the third determines who starts round 4. Respectively, the toss - ups are valued at $1,000, $2,000, and $3,000. Contestants may only ring in once for each toss - up puzzle, and no cash is awarded if all three contestants fail to solve the puzzle, or if the last letter of the puzzle is revealed. In this case, the contestant in the position closest to the host is interviewed first or starts the round. In addition to these, each game has a minimum of four rounds, with more played if time permits. Rounds 2 and 3 are respectively started by the next two contestants clockwise from the contestant who began round 1. Round 2 features two `` mystery wedges ''. Calling a correct letter after landing upon one offers the contestant the chance to accept its face value of $1,000 per letter, or forfeit that amount to flip over the wedge and see whether its reverse side contains a $10,000 cash prize or Bankrupt. Once either mystery wedge is flipped over, the other becomes a standard $1,000 space and can not be flipped. Round 3 is a prize puzzle, which offers a prize ( usually a trip ) to the contestant who solves it. Starting with season 31 in 2013, an `` Express '' wedge is also placed on the wheel in round 3. A contestant who lands on this space and calls a consonant that appears in the puzzle receives $1,000 per appearance. The contestant can then either `` pass '' and continue the round normally, or `` play '' and keep calling consonants for $1,000 each ( without spinning ) and buying vowels for $250. The Express play ends when the contestant either calls an incorrect letter ( which has the same effect as landing on a Bankrupt wedge ) or solves the puzzle. The final round is always played at least in part in a `` speed - up '' format, in which the host spins the wheel to determine the value of each consonant, with $1,000 being added to the value on which the wheel stops before the red contestant 's arrow. Vowels do not add or deduct money from the contestants ' scores in the speed - up round. The contestant in control calls one letter, and if it appears in the puzzle, the contestant is given three seconds to attempt to solve. Play proceeds clockwise, starting with the contestant who was in control at the time of the final spin, until the puzzle is solved. The three - second timer does not begin until the hostess has revealed all instances of a called letter and moved aside from the puzzle board, and the contestant may offer multiple guesses on his / her turn. After the speed - up round, the total winnings of the three contestants are compared. The contestant with the highest total winnings wins the game and advances to the bonus round. Contestants who fail to earn any cash or prizes in the game are awarded a consolation prize of $1,000 ( or $2,000 on weeks with two - contestant teams ). If a tie for first place occurs after the speed - up round, an additional toss - up puzzle is played between the tied contestants. The contestant who solves the toss - up puzzle wins $1,000 and advances to the bonus round. Bonus round ( edit ) Before the bonus round begins, the winning contestant chooses one of three categories for his or her puzzle ( prior to season 35, the puzzle and category were predetermined ). After doing so, the contestant spins a smaller wheel with 24 envelopes to determine the prize. He or she is then shown a puzzle in the chosen category, and every instance of R, S, T, L, N, and E is revealed. The contestant provides three more consonants ( four if he / she is holding the Wild Card ) and one more vowel, then has 10 seconds to solve the puzzle after his or her other letters ( if any ) are revealed. The contestant may make as many guesses as necessary, so long as the contestant begins the correct answer before time expires. Whether or not the contestant solves the puzzle, the host opens the envelope at the end of the round to reveal the prize at stake. Prizes in the bonus round include various cash amounts ( with the lowest being the season number multiplied by $1,000 ), a vehicle ( or two vehicles during weeks with two - contestant teams ), and a top prize of $100,000. If the contestant has the Million Dollar Wedge, the $100,000 envelope is replaced with a $1,000,000 envelope. The $1,000,000 prize has been awarded three times : to Michelle Loewenstein ( October 14, 2008 ), to Autumn Erhard ( May 30, 2013 ), and to Sarah Manchester ( September 17, 2014 ). Contestants who win the $1,000,000 may receive it in installments over 20 years, or in a lump sum of that amount 's present value. At the end of the Bonus Round, Sajak will reveal where the $1,000,000 envelope was on the prize wheel if the contestant failed to land on it. Previous rules ( edit ) Originally, after winning a round, contestants spent their winnings on prizes that were presented onstage. At any time during a shopping round, most often if the contestant did not have enough left to buy another prize, a contestant could choose to put his or her winnings on a gift certificate, or he or she could put the winnings `` on account '' for use in a later shopping round. However, a contestant lost any money on account by landing on Bankrupt or failing to claim it by not winning subsequent rounds. The shopping element was eliminated from the syndicated version on the episode that aired October 5, 1987, both to speed up gameplay and to alleviate the taxes paid by contestants. However, the network version continued to use the shopping element until the end of its first NBC run on June 30, 1989. Before the introduction of toss - up puzzles at the start of the 18th syndicated season in 2000, the contestant at the red arrow always started round 1, with the next contestant clockwise starting each subsequent round. In addition, if a tie for first place occurred, an additional speed - up round was played between the tied contestants for the right to go to the bonus round. The wheel formerly featured a Free Spin wedge, which automatically awarded a token that the contestant could turn in after a lost turn to keep control of the wheel. It was replaced in 1989 with a single Free Spin token placed over a selected cash wedge. Free Spin was retired, and Free Play introduced, at the start of the 27th syndicated season in 2009. Between September 16, 1996 and the end of season 30 in 2013, the show featured a progressive Jackpot wedge, which had been in several different rounds in its history. The jackpot started at $5,000 and had the value of every spin within the round added to it. To claim the jackpot, a contestant had to land on the wedge, call a correct letter, and solve the puzzle all in the same turn. In later years, it also offered $500 per correct letter and $500 to the jackpot, regardless of whether or not it was won in that turn. The network version allowed champions to appear for up to five days originally, which was later reduced to three. The syndicated version, which originally retired contestants after one episode, adopted the three - day champion rule at the start of the seventh season in 1989. In 1996, this was changed to have the top three winners from the week 's first four shows returned to compete in the `` Friday Finals ''. When the jackpot wedge was introduced, it began at $10,000 instead of $5,000 on Fridays. The rules allowing returning champions were eliminated permanently beginning with the syndicated episode aired September 21, 1998, and contestants appear only on a single episode, reverting to the pre-1989 rules. Before December 1981, the show did not feature a bonus round. Under the bonus round 's original rules, no letters were provided automatically. The contestant asked for five consonants and a vowel, and then had fifteen seconds to attempt solving the puzzle. Also, bonus prizes were selected by the contestant at the start of the round. The current time limit and rules for letter selection were introduced on October 3, 1988. Starting on September 4, 1989, the first episode of the seventh syndicated season, bonus prizes were selected by the contestant choosing from one of five envelopes labeled W, H, E, E, and L. One prize was always $25,000 in cash, and the rest were changed weekly. Any prize that was won was taken out of rotation for the rest of the week. During seasons 16 through 18 ( 1998 -- 2001 ), the $25,000 remained in - place the entire week of shows regardless if it was won. At the start of season 19 on September 3, 2001, there were three car envelopes and two $25,000 envelopes, which were available the entire week of shows. These envelopes were replaced with the bonus wheel on October 22, 2001. Conception and Development ( edit ) Merv Griffin conceived Wheel of Fortune just as the original version of Jeopardy!, another show he had created, was ending its 11 - year run on NBC with Art Fleming as its host. Griffin decided to create a Hangman - style game after recalling long car trips as a child, on which he and his sister played Hangman. After he discussed the idea with Merv Griffin Enterprises ' staff, they thought that the idea would work as a game show if it had a `` hook ''. He decided to add a roulette - style wheel because he was always `` drawn to '' such wheels when he saw them in casinos. He and MGE 's then - president Murray Schwartz consulted an executive of Caesars Palace to find out how to build such a wheel. When Griffin pitched the idea for the show to Lin Bolen, then the head of NBC 's daytime programming division, she approved, but wanted the show to have more glamour to attract the female audience. She suggested that Griffin incorporate a shopping element into the gameplay, and so, in 1973, he created a pilot episode titled Shopper 's Bazaar, with Chuck Woolery as host and Mike Lawrence as announcer. The pilot started with the three contestants being introduced individually, with Lawrence describing the prizes that they chose to play for. The main game was played to four rounds, with the values on the wheel wedges increasing after the second round. Unlike the show it evolved into, Shopper 's Bazaar had a vertically mounted wheel, which was spun automatically rather than by the contestants. This wheel lacked the Bankrupt wedge and featured a wedge where a contestant could call a vowel for free, as well as a `` Your Own Clue '' wedge that allowed contestants to pick up a rotary telephone and hear a private clue about the puzzle. At the end of the game, the highest - scoring contestant played a bonus round called the `` Shopper 's Special '' where all the vowels in the puzzle were already there, and the contestant had 30 seconds to call out consonants in the puzzle. Edd Byrnes, an actor from 77 Sunset Strip, served as host for the second and third pilots, both titled Wheel of Fortune. These pilots were directed by Marty Pasetta, who gave the show a `` Vegas '' feel that more closely resembled the look and feel that the actual show ended up having, a wheel that was now spun by the contestants themselves, and a lighted mechanical puzzle board with letters that were now manually turnable. Showcase prizes on these pilots were located behind the puzzle board, and during shopping segments a list of prizes and their price values scrolled on the right of the screen. By the time production began in December 1974, Woolery was selected to host, the choice being made by Griffin after he reportedly heard Byrnes reciting `` A-E-I-O-U '' to himself in an effort to remember the vowels. Susan Stafford turned the letters on Byrnes ' pilot episodes, a role that she also held when the show was picked up as a series. Personnel ( edit ) Hosts and hostesses ( edit ) Chuck Woolery was the show 's host from 1975 to 1981. The original host of Wheel of Fortune was Chuck Woolery, who hosted the series from its 1975 premiere until December 25, 1981, save for one week in August 1980 when Alex Trebek hosted in his place. Woolery 's departure came over a salary dispute with show creator Merv Griffin, and his contract was not renewed. On December 28, 1981, Pat Sajak made his debut as the host of Wheel. Griffin said that he chose Sajak for his `` odd '' sense of humor. NBC president and CEO Fred Silverman objected as he felt Sajak, who at the time of his hiring was the weatherman for KNBC - TV, was `` too local '' for a national audience. Griffin countered by telling Silverman he would stop production if Sajak was not allowed to become host, and Silverman acquiesced. Sajak hosted the daytime series until January 9, 1989, when he left to host a late - night talk show for CBS. Rolf Benirschke, a former placekicker in the National Football League, was chosen as his replacement and hosted for a little more than five months. Benirschke 's term as host came to an end due to NBC 's cancellation of the daytime Wheel after fourteen years, with its final episode airing on June 30, 1989. When the newly formatted daytime series returned on CBS on July 17, 1989, Bob Goen became its host. The daytime program continued for a year and a half on CBS, then returned to NBC on January 14, 1991 and continued until September 20, 1991 when it was cancelled for a second and final time. Pat Sajak ( right ) and Vanna White have hosted the syndicated version since 1983. Susan Stafford was the original hostess, serving in that role from the premiere until October 1982. Stafford was absent for two extended periods, once in 1977 after fracturing two vertebrae in her back and once in 1979 after an automobile accident. During these two extended absences, former Miss USA Summer Bartholomew was Stafford 's most frequent substitute, with model Cynthia Washington and comedian Arte Johnson also filling in for Stafford. After Stafford left to become a humanitarian worker, over two hundred applicants signed up for a nationwide search to be her replacement. Griffin eventually narrowed the list to three finalists, which consisted of Summer Bartholomew, former Playboy centerfold Vicki McCarty, and Vanna White. Griffin gave each of the three women an opportunity to win the job by putting them in a rotation for several weeks after Stafford 's departure. In December 1982, Griffin named White as Stafford 's successor, saying that he felt she was capable of activating the puzzle board letters ( which is the primary role of the Wheel hostess ) better than anyone else who had auditioned. White became highly popular among the young female demographic, and also gained a fanbase of adults interested in her daily wardrobe, in a phenomenon that has been referred to as `` Vannamania ''. White remained on the daytime series for the rest of the time it was on the air. Sajak and White have starred on the syndicated version continuously as host and hostess, respectively, since it began, except for very limited occasions. During two weeks in January 1991, Tricia Gist, the girlfriend and future wife of Griffin 's son Tony, filled in for White when she and her new husband, restaurateur George San Pietro, were honeymooning. Gist returned for the week of episodes airing March 11 through 15, 1991, because White had a cold at the time of taping. On an episode in November 1996, when Sajak proved unable to host the bonus round segment because of laryngitis, he and White traded places for that segment. On the March 4, 1997 episode, Rosie O'Donnell co-hosted the third round with White after O'Donnell's name was used in a puzzle. On April 1, 1997, Sajak and Alex Trebek traded jobs for the day. Sajak hosted that day 's edition of Jeopardy! in place of Trebek, who presided over a special two - contestant Wheel celebrity match between Sajak and White, who were playing for the Boy Scouts of America and the American Cancer Society, respectively ; Lesly Sajak, Pat 's wife, was the guest hostess for the day. In January and February 2011, the show held a `` Vanna for a Day '' contest in which home viewers submitted video auditions to take White 's place for one episode, with the winner determined by a poll on the show 's website ; the winner of this contest, Katie Cantrell of Wooster, Ohio ( a student at the Savannah College of Art and Design ), took White 's place for the second and third rounds on the episode that aired March 24, 2011. Announcers ( edit ) Jim Thornton has been the show 's announcer since 2011. Charlie O'Donnell was the program 's first and longest tenured announcer. In 1980, NBC was discussing cancelling Wheel and O'Donnell agreed to take the position as announcer on The Toni Tennille Show. The network decided against the cancellation but O'Donnell decided to honor his commitment and left the series. His replacement was Jack Clark, who added the syndicated series to his responsibilities when it premiered in 1983 and announced for both series until his death in July 1988. Los Angeles radio personality M.G. Kelly was Clark 's replacement, starting on the daytime series in August 1988 and on the syndicated series when its new season launched a month later. Kelly held these positions until O'Donnell was able to return to the announcer position, doing so after his duties with Barris Industries came to an end at the end of the 1988 -- 89 television season. O'Donnell remained with the series until shortly before his death in November 2010. Don Pardo, Don Morrow, and Johnny Gilbert have occasionally served as substitute announcers. After O'Donnell's death, the producers sought a permanent replacement, and a series of substitutes filled out the rest of the season, including Gilbert, John Cramer, Joe Cipriano, Rich Fields, Lora Cain and Jim Thornton. For the show 's twenty - ninth season, which began in 2011, Thornton was chosen to be the new announcer for Wheel, and has been with the show ever since. Production staff ( edit ) Wheel of Fortune typically employs a total of 100 in - house production personnel, with 60 to 100 local staff joining them for those episodes that are taped on location. Griffin was the executive producer of the network version throughout its entire run, and served as the syndicated version 's executive producer until his retirement in 2000. Since 1999, the title of executive producer has been held by Harry Friedman, who had shared his title with Griffin for his first year, and had earlier served as a producer starting in 1995. John Rhinehart was the program 's first producer, but departed in August 1976 to become NBC 's West Coast Daytime Program Development Director. Afterwards, his co-producer, Nancy Jones, was promoted to sole producer, and served as such until 1995, when Friedman succeeded her. In the 15th syndicated season in 1997, Karen Griffith and Steve Schwartz joined Friedman as producers. They were later promoted to supervising producers, with Amanda Stern occupying Griffith 's and Schwartz 's former position. The show 's original director was Jeff Goldstein, who was succeeded by Dick Carson ( a brother of Johnny Carson ) in 1978. Mark Corwin, who had served as associate director under Carson, took over for him upon his retirement at the end of the 1998 -- 99 season, and served as such until he himself died in July 2013 ( although episodes already taped before his death continued airing until late 2013 ). Jeopardy! director Kevin McCarthy, Corwin 's associate director Bob Cisneros, and Wheel and Jeopardy! technical director Robert Ennis filled in at various points until Cisneros became full - time director in November 2013. Ennis returned as guest director for the weeks airing October 13 through 17 and November 17 through 21, 2014, as Cisneros was recovering from neck surgery at the time of taping. With the start of the 33rd season on September 14, 2015, Ennis was promoted to full - time director. Production ( edit ) Wheel of Fortune is owned by Sony Pictures Television ( previously known as Columbia TriStar Television, the successor company to original producer Merv Griffin Enterprises ). The production company and copyright holder of all episodes to date is Califon Productions, Inc., which like SPT has Sony Pictures for its active registered agent, and whose name comes from a New Jersey town where Griffin once owned a farm. The rights to distribute the show worldwide are owned by CBS Television Distribution, into which original distributor King World Productions was folded in 2007. The show was originally taped in Studio 4 at NBC Studios in Burbank. Upon NBC 's 1989 cancellation of the network series, production moved to Studio 33 at CBS Television City in Los Angeles, where it remained until 1995. Since then, the show has occupied Stage 11 at Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City. Some episodes are also recorded on location, a tradition which began with two weeks of episodes taped at Radio City Music Hall in late 1988. Recording sessions usually last for five or six episodes in one day. Set ( edit ) The current design of the Wheel of Fortune set, as seen on a Season 30 episode The show 's current puzzle board, as seen on a Season 30 episode Various changes have been made to the basic set since the syndicated version 's premiere in 1983. In 1996, a large video display was added center stage, which was then upgraded in 2003 as the show began the transition into high - definition broadcasting. In the mid-1990s, the show began a long - standing tradition of nearly every week coming with its own unique theme. As a result, in addition to its generic design, the set also uses many alternate designs, which are unique to specific weekly sets of themed programs. The most recent set design was conceived by production designer Renee Hoss - Johnson, with later modifications by Jody Vaclav. Previous set designers included Ed Flesh and Dick Stiles. The first pilot used a vertically mounted wheel which was often difficult to see on - screen. Flesh, who also designed the sets for The $25,000 Pyramid and Jeopardy!, designed the wheel mechanism. Originally made mostly of paint and cardboard, the modern wheel mechanism is framed on a steel tube surrounded with Plexiglas and more than 200 lighting instruments, and is held by a stainless steel shaft with roller bearings. Altogether, the wheel weighs approximately 2,400 pounds ( 1,100 kg ). The show 's original puzzle board had three rows of 13 manually operated trilons, for a total of 39 spaces. On December 21, 1981, a larger board with 48 trilons in four rows ( 11, 13, 13 and 11 trilons ) was adopted. This board was surrounded by a double - arched border of lights which flashed at the beginning and end of the round. Each trilon had three sides : a green side to represent spaces not used by the puzzle, a blank side to indicate a letter that had not been revealed, and a side with a letter on it. While the viewer saw a seamless transition to the next puzzle, with these older boards in segments where more than one puzzle was present, a stop - down of taping took place during which the board was wheeled offstage and the new puzzle loaded in by hand out of sight of the contestants. On February 24, 1997, the show introduced a computerized puzzle board composed of 52 touch - activated monitors in four rows ( 12 on the top and bottom rows, 14 in the middle two ). To illuminate a letter during regular gameplay, the hostess touches the right edge of the monitor to reveal it. The computerized board obviated the stop - downs, allowing tapings to finish quicker at a lower cost to the production company. Although not typically seen by viewers, the set also includes a used letter board that shows contestants which letters are remaining in play, a scoreboard that is visible from the contestants ' perspective, and a countdown clock. The used letter board is also used during the bonus round, and in at least one case, helped the contestant to see unused letters to solve a difficult puzzle. Music ( edit ) Alan Thicke composed the show 's original theme, which was titled `` Big Wheels ''. In 1983, it was replaced by Griffin 's own composition, `` Changing Keys '', to allow him to derive royalties from that composition 's use on both the network and syndicated versions. Steve Kaplan became music director starting with the premiere of the 15th syndicated season in 1997, and continued to serve as such until he was killed when the Cessna 421C Golden Eagle he was piloting crashed into a home in Claremont, California, in December 2003. His initial theme was a remix of `` Changing Keys '', but by the 18th syndicated season ( 2000 -- 01 ), he had replaced it with a composition of his own, which was titled `` Happy Wheels ''. Since 2006, music direction has been handled by Frankie Blue and John Hoke. Themes they have written for the show include a remix of `` Happy Wheels '' and an original rock - based composition. In addition to `` Changing Keys '', Griffin also composed various incidental music cues for the syndicated version which were used for announcements of prizes in the show 's early years. Among them were `` Frisco Disco '' ( earlier the closing theme for a revival of Jeopardy! which aired in 1978 and 1979 ), `` A Time for Tony '' ( whose basic melody evolved into `` Think! '', the longtime theme song for Jeopardy! ), `` Buzzword '' ( later used as the theme for Merv Griffin 's Crosswords ), `` Nightwalk '', `` Struttin ' on Sunset '', and an untitled vacation cue. Audition process ( edit ) Marty Lublin interviews a potential contestant during an audition at Morongo Casino, Resort & Spa, Cabazon, California The most recent design of the Wheelmobile at the Jackson Rancheria Casino Resort in Jackson, California Anyone at least 18 years old has the potential to become a contestant through Wheel of Fortune 's audition process. Exceptions include employees and immediate family members of CBS Corporation, Sony Pictures Entertainment, or any of their respective affiliates or subsidiaries ; any firm involved in supplying prizes for the show ; and television stations that broadcast Wheel and / or Jeopardy!, their sister radio stations, and those advertising agencies that are affiliated with them. Also ineligible to apply as contestants are individuals who have appeared on a different game show within the previous year, three other game shows within the past ten years, or on any version of Wheel of Fortune itself. Throughout the year, the show uses a custom - designed Winnebago recreational vehicle called the `` Wheelmobile '' to travel across the United States, holding open auditions at various public venues. Participants are provided with entry forms which are then drawn randomly. Individuals whose names are drawn appear on stage, five at a time, and are interviewed by traveling host Marty Lublin. The group of five then plays a mock version of the speed - up round, and five more names are selected after a puzzle is solved. Everyone who is called onstage receives a themed prize, usually determined by the spin of a miniature wheel. Auditions typically last two days, with three one - hour segments per day. After each Wheelmobile event, the `` most promising candidates '' are invited back to the city in which the first audition was held, to participate in a second audition. Alternatively, a participant may submit an audition form with a self - shot video through the show 's website to enter an audition. Contestants not appearing on stage at Wheelmobile events have their applications retained and get drawn at random to fill second - level audition vacancies. At the second audition, potential contestants play more mock games featuring a miniature wheel and puzzle board, followed by a 16 - puzzle test with some letters revealed. The contestants have five minutes to solve as many puzzles as they can by writing in the correct letters. The people who pass continue the audition, playing more mock games which are followed by interviews. Broadcast history ( edit ) Wheel of Fortune premiered on January 6, 1975, at 10 : 30 am ( 9 : 30 Central ) on NBC. Lin Bolen, then the head of daytime programming, purchased the show from Griffin to compensate him for canceling the original Jeopardy! series, which had one year remaining on its contract. Jeopardy! aired its final episode on the Friday before Wheel 's premiere. The original Wheel aired on NBC, in varying time slots between 10 : 30 am and noon, until June 30, 1989. Throughout that version 's run, episodes were generally 30 minutes in length, except for six weeks of shows aired between December 1975 and January 1976 which were 60 minutes in length. NBC announced the cancellation of the show in August 1980, but it stayed on the air following a decision to cut the duration of The David Letterman Show from 90 to 60 minutes. The network Wheel moved to CBS on July 17, 1989, and remained there until January 14, 1991. After that, it briefly returned to NBC, replacing Let 's Make a Deal, but was canceled permanently on September 20 of that year. The daily syndicated version of Wheel premiered on September 19, 1983, preceded by a series of episodes taped on location at the Ohio State Fair and aired on WBNS - TV in Columbus, Ohio. From its debut, the syndicated version offered a larger prize budget than its network counterpart. The show came from humble beginnings : King World chairmen Roger, Michael, and Robert King could initially find only 50 stations that were willing to carry the show, and since they could not find affiliates for the syndicated Wheel in New York, Los Angeles, or Chicago, Philadelphia was the largest market in which the show could succeed in its early days. Only nine stations carried the show from its beginning, but by midseason it was airing on all 50 of the stations that were initially willing to carry it, and by the beginning of 1984 the show was available to 99 percent of television households. Soon, Wheel succeeded Family Feud as the highest - rated syndicated show, and at the beginning of the 1984 -- 85 season, Griffin followed up on the show 's success by launching a syndicated revival of Jeopardy!, hosted by Alex Trebek. The syndicated success of Wheel and Jeopardy! siphoned ratings from the period 's three longest - running and most popular game shows, Tic - Tac - Dough, The Joker 's Wild, and Family Feud, to the point that all three series came to an end by the fall of 1986. At this point, Wheel had the highest ratings of any syndicated television series in history, and at the peak of the show 's popularity, over 40 million people were watching five nights per week. The series, along with companion series Jeopardy!, remained the most - watched syndicated program in the United States until dethroned by Judge Judy in 2011. The program has become America 's longest - running syndicated game show and its second - longest in either network or syndication, second to the version of The Price Is Right which began airing in 1972. The syndicated Wheel has become part of the consciousness of over 90 million Americans, and awarded a total of over $200 million in cash and prizes to contestants. The popularity of Wheel of Fortune has led it to become a worldwide franchise, with over forty known adaptations in international markets outside the United States. Versions of the show have existed in such countries as Australia, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Malaysia, New Zealand, the Philippines, Poland, Russia, Spain,, United Kingdom and Vietnam ( Chiec Non Ky Dieu ). The American version of Wheel has honored its international variants with an occasional theme of special weeks known as `` Wheel Around the World '', the inaugural episode of which aired when the 23rd syndicated season premiered on September 12, 2005. Between September 1997 and January 1998, CBS and Game Show Network concurrently aired a special children 's version of the show titled Wheel 2000. It was hosted by David Sidoni, with Tanika Ray providing voice and motion capture for a virtual reality hostess named `` Cyber Lucy ''. Created by Scott Sternberg, the spin - off featured special gameplay in which numerous rules were changed. For example, the show 's child contestants competed for points and prizes instead of cash, with the eventual winner playing for a grand prize in the bonus round. Reception ( edit ) Wheel of Fortune has long been one of the highest - rated programs on U.S. syndicated television. It was the highest - rated show in all of syndication before it was dethroned by Two and a Half Men in the 28th season ( 2010 -- 11 ). The syndicated Wheel shared the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Game / Audience Participation Show with Jeopardy! in 2011, and Sajak won three Daytime Emmys for Outstanding Game Show Host -- in 1993, 1997, and 1998. In a 2001 issue, TV Guide ranked Wheel number 25 among the 50 Greatest Game Shows of All Time, and in 2013, the magazine ranked it number 2 in its list of the 60 greatest game shows ever, second only to Jeopardy! In August 2006, the show was ranked number 6 on GSN 's list of the 50 Greatest Game Shows. Wheel was the subject of many nominations in GSN 's Game Show Awards special, which aired on June 6, 2009. The show was nominated for Best Game Show, but lost to Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? ; Sajak and White were nominated for Best Game Show Host, but lost to Deal or No Deal 's Howie Mandel ; and O'Donnell was considered for Best Announcer but lost to Rich Fields from The Price Is Right. One of the catchphrases uttered by contestants, `` I 'd like to buy a vowel '', was considered for Favorite Game Show Catch Phrase, but lost to `` Come on down! '', the announcer 's catchphrase welcoming new contestants to Price. The sound effect heard at the start of a new regular gameplay round won the award for Favorite Game Show Sound Effect. The sound heard when the wheel lands on Bankrupt was also nominated. Despite having been retired from the show for nearly a decade by that point, `` Changing Keys '' was nominated for Best Game Show Theme Song. However, it lost to its fellow Griffin composition, `` Think! '' from Jeopardy! A hall of fame honoring Wheel of Fortune is part of the Sony Pictures Studios tour, and was introduced on the episode aired May 10, 2010. Located in the same stage as the show 's taping facility, this hall of fame features memorabilia related to Wheel 's syndicated history, including retired props, classic merchandise, photographs, videos, and a special case dedicated to White 's wardrobe. Two years later, in 2012, the show was honored with a Ride of Fame on a double decker tour bus in New York City. Merchandise ( edit ) Numerous board games based on Wheel of Fortune have been released by different toy companies. The games are all similar, incorporating a wheel, puzzle display board, play money and various accessories like Free Spin tokens. Milton Bradley released the first board game in 1975. In addition to all the supplies mentioned above, the game included 20 prize cards to simulate the `` shopping '' prizes of the show, with prizes ranging in value from $100 to $3,000. Two editions were released, with the only differences being the box art and the included books of puzzles. Other home versions were released by Pressman Toy Corporation, Tyco / Mattel, Parker Brothers, Endless Games, and Irwin Toys. Additionally, several video games based on the show have been released for personal computers, the Internet, and various gaming consoles spanning multiple hardware generations. Most games released in the 20th century were published by GameTek, which produced a dozen Wheel games on various platforms, starting with a Nintendo Entertainment System game released in 1987 and continuing until the company closed in 1998 after filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Subsequent games were published by Hasbro Interactive and its acquirer Infogrames / Atari ; Sony Online Entertainment, THQ and Ubisoft. Wheel has also been licensed to International Game Technology for use in its slot machines. The games are all loosely based on the show, with contestants given the chance to spin the wheel to win a jackpot prize. Since 1996, over 200 slot games based on the show have been created, both for real - world casinos and those on the Internet. With over 1,000 wins awarded in excess of $1,000,000 and over $3 billion in jackpots delivered, Wheel has been regarded as the most successful slots brand of all time. Notes ( edit ) Jump up ^ The simplified title is often used by host Pat Sajak on - air and has been used instead of the full title in numerous promotional materials for the show. Jump up ^ If a contestant can not spin the wheel due to a physical limitation or disability, he / she is accompanied by a `` designated spinner, '' a friend or family member who spins for him / her but is otherwise not involved in the game. Jump up ^ Sajak : `` I 'll give the wheel a final spin, and ask you to give me a letter. If it 's in the puzzle, you have three seconds to solve it. Vowels are worth nothing, consonants are worth... ( wedge amount ), we 'll add $1,000 to that, ( dollar amount ) apiece. '' Jump up ^ The jackpot wedge was originally in round 3, was moved to round 2 at the start of the 18th syndicated season in 2000, and after that moved to round 1 from 2009 to 2013.

But even when he smelled salt and heard the sea, he could not stop being afraid. '' The conflicts in the story include person vs. self and person vs. society.

( September 2016 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Tom and Jerry have wrecked the house they lived in during a frantic Tom - Jerry-esque chase, so they enter a race / reality show titled the `` Fabulous Super Race '', which offers the race - winner a luxurious mansion. Tom and Jerry, having built their own customized vehicles from scrap materials in a junk yard, present themselves to J.W., producer and head of Globwobbler Studios, and his assistant Irving, who are hosting the race. Race commentators are Biff Buzzard and Buzz Blister. The two then meet the contestants : Steed, Grammy, Gorthan, Soccer Mom, and Dr. Professor. Dr. Professor is eliminated before the race when he and his vehicle are vaporized by antimatter used to power the vehicle. The racers begin the race in Hollywood, California, where Grammy takes an early lead, but is overtaken by Steed late in the leg. The racers are stopped by a highway traffic jam so they need to find a way to pass over it. Soccer Mom, who finds that there 's no way to get over it, plays some music. The race was initially going to be from Hollywood to Mexico, but due to public ratings of the event, J.W. decides to extend the race to the Amazonian jungle. During the leg, Tom switches a sign, causing contestant Soccer Mom to drive her car into a pit of quicksand. Steed, still in the lead, crosses an old bridge but leaves a hole in the middle, causing problems for Grammy and Gorthan. Tom crosses the bridge easily, then attempts to destroy the bridge in the hope of eliminating Jerry, but it backfires and causes Tom to fall into the water. Steed once again wins, with Grammy following in second, but J.W. wants to continue the race due to the high ratings. When the studio head changes the race again, the hosts, Biff and Buzz, announce that the next leg of the race is set in Antarctica, and the remaining drivers will have to modify their cars for ocean travel. On the way to the South Pole, Steed 's car breaks down and he encounters what he thinks is a mermaid on an island who, in turn, proceeds to feed him to her ravenous offspring. The first contestant to reach the destination grounds is Gorthan, who is then eliminated when, after being goaded into touching his tongue to a metal pole by the hosts, he causes himself and his car to float away on an iceberg. Before the start of the next leg of the race, Tom, Jerry and Grammy arrive on the scene. As the remaining racers modify their cars, Grammy is apparently eliminated when she and her dog Squirty are swallowed by a whale thanks to Tom 's machinations. During the Antarctic leg, Tom and Jerry race each other across Antarctica. Tom is frozen into an ice block and slides all around Antarctica, which nearly causes his elimination when his car reaches the finish line before he does. Meanwhile, in the production office, J.W. is notified that the ratings of the race are up and need to be kept up. The hosts are then notified that the racers will have to modify their cars again to race underwater to Australia. Tom faces several problems, including his car being taken over by seals, his fish juice spray attracting sharks, which ends in his elimination when he crashes into a concrete block and his car is destroyed by an anchor. Jerry arrives and gestures to the hosts that he has not seen Tom, who is then assumed dead. Jerry then continues racing across Australia to Borneo, where the finish line has been reassigned to. Grammy returns to the race when the whale that swallowed her and Squirty spits them out. Tom also returns to the race when Irving flies to Australia to administer CPR under J.W. 's orders, because his antagonistic nature gave the race great ratings. Tom then repairs his car and cuts the continent in half using a laser in an attempt to simultaneously get into first place and get rid of Jerry, Grammy and Squirty. A boxing kangaroo attacks Tom in revenge for the destruction while the others escape. The next leg of the race involves them modifying their cars with balloons for air travel to Borneo. After Tom pops Grammy 's balloons, Grammy and Squirty fall to their deaths bickering over what they assume was a parachute. After Tom 's own balloons pop, he crashlands into a vacationing Spike who then tries to attack him but is knocked out by his own car, and then gives pursuit after Jerry and the finish line. Meanwhile, in the production office, J.W. announces that the true final leg of the race is back to Hollywood, which will involve them travelling around the world back to the finishing point with high speed jets in only five minutes due to the race taking too long. Tom and Jerry are shocked at this latest last - minute change, but go ahead and race through several major locations in Asia, Europe, the Atlantic and the US, causing massive destruction to numerous monuments in their wake in many comical ways - shrinking Mount Everest, turning the Taj Mahal into a spinning top, playing Pinball on St Basil 's Cathedral, straightening the Leaning Tower of Pisa, turning the Eiffel Tower into a pretzel, turning Big Ben into a broken cuckoo clock, destroying the Great Wall of China, the Roman Coliseum, and Stonehenge, turning a castle into a trailer park, stripping the Statue of Liberty, sealing the Grand Canyon, removing the letters of the Hollywood sign ( aside from `` ow '' ), and turning the Hollywood Walk of Fame into a bunch of shuriken. At the finish line, Tom and Jerry 's jet planes break down causing them to tie on the line. Although they both win because of the tie, J.W. says according to the contract, since they tied, they have to do the race all over again. Tom and Jerry proceed to attack J.W. in retaliation, then seize the key to the mansion from him. J.W., angry and disoriented, decides that Hollywood stands for family entertainment, whereupon the pharaoh - like President of Hollywood appears to incinerate J.W. for his inappropriate change of heart, and makes Irving the new producer and head of Globwobbler Studios. Meanwhile, Tom and Jerry share their new mansion peacefully, until Tom 's previous owner shows up and pretends like she owns the house, demanding Tom dispose of Jerry.

The President presides over the sessions of the General Assembly. Miroslav Lajčák of Slovakia has been elected as the UNGA President of its 72nd session beginning in September 2017. Contents 1 Election 2 List of presidents 3 See also 4 References 5 External links Election ( edit ) A map of the world showing the home countries of Presidents of the United Nations General Assembly up until the 72th session of the General Assembly in 2017 - 18, with historical member states in inset. The session of the assembly is scheduled for every year starting in September -- any special, or emergency special, assemblies over the next year will be headed by the President of UNGA. The presidency rotates annually between the five geographic groups : African, Asia - Pacific, Eastern European, Latin American and Caribbean, and Western European and other States. Because of their powerful stature globally, some of the largest, most powerful countries have never held the presidency, such as the People 's Republic of China, France, Japan, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States. In particular, it is customary that no permanent member of the United Nations Security Council ever serves as UNGA president. The only country that had a national elected as President of UNGA twice is Argentina ; all the other member states had been represented only once by their nationals holding this office. This does not include special and emergency special sessions of UNGA.

{ "text": "List of current Indian governors - wikipedia List of current Indian governors Jump to : navigation, search In the Republic of India, a governor is the constitutional head of each of the twenty - nine states. The governor is appointed by the President of India for a term of five years, and holds office at the President 's pleasure. The governor is de jure head of the state government ; all its executive actions are taken in the governor 's name. However, the governor must act on the advice of the popularly elected council of ministers, headed by the chief minister, who thus hold de facto executive authority at the state - level. The Constitution of India also empowers the governor to act upon his or her own discretion, such as the ability to appoint or dismiss a ministry, recommend President 's rule, or reserve bills for the President 's assent. Over the years, the exercise of these discretionary powers have given rise to conflict between the elected chief minister and the central government -- appointed governor. The union territories of Andaman and Nicobar, Delhi and Puducherry are headed by lieutenant - governors. Since Delhi and Puducherry have a measure of self - government with an elected legislature and council of ministers, the role of the lieutenant - governor there is a mostly ceremonial one, akin to that of a state 's governor. The other four union territories -- Chandigarh ; Dadra and Nagar Haveli ; Daman and Diu ; and Lakshadweep -- are governed by an administrator. Unlike the administrators of other territories, who are drawn from the Indian Administrative Service, since 1985 the Governor of Punjab has acted as the ex-officio Administrator of Chandigarh.

{ "text": "Myers -- Briggs type Indicator - wikipedia Myers -- Briggs type Indicator Jump to : navigation, search A chart with descriptions of each Myers -- Briggs personality type and the four dichotomies central to the theory The Myers -- Briggs Type Indicator ( MBTI ) is an introspective self - report questionnaire with the purpose of indicating differing psychological preferences in how people perceive the world around them and make decisions. The MBTI was constructed by Katharine Cook Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs Myers. It is based on the conceptual theory proposed by Carl Jung, who had speculated that humans experience the world using four principal psychological functions -- sensation, intuition, feeling, and thinking -- and that one of these four functions is dominant for a person most of the time. The MBTI was constructed for normal populations and emphasizes the value of naturally occurring differences. `` The underlying assumption of the MBTI is that we all have specific preferences in the way we construe our experiences, and these preferences underlie our interests, needs, values, and motivation. '' Although popular in the business sector, the MBTI exhibits significant psychometric deficiencies, notably including poor validity ( i.e. not measuring what it purports to measure ) and poor reliability ( giving different results for the same person on different occasions ). The four scales used in the MBTI have some correlation with four of the Big Five personality traits, which are a more commonly accepted framework.

Katharine Cook Briggs began her research into personality in 1917. Upon meeting her future son - in - law, she observed marked differences between his personality and that of other family members. Briggs embarked on a project of reading biographies, and subsequently developed a typology wherein she proposed four temperaments : meditative ( or thoughtful ), spontaneous, executive, and social. After the English translation of Jung 's book Psychological Types was published in 1923 ( first published in German in 1921 ), she recognized that Jung 's theory was similar to, but went far beyond, her own. Briggs 's four types were later identified as corresponding to the IXXXs, EXXPs, EXTJs and EXFJs. Her first publications were two articles describing Jung 's theory, in the journal New Republic in 1926 ( `` Meet Yourself Using the Personality Paint Box '' ) and 1928 ( `` Up From Barbarism '' ). After extensively studying the work of Jung, they turned their interest in human behavior into efforts to turn the theory of psychological types to practical use. Briggs 's daughter, Isabel Briggs Myers, added to her mother 's typological research, which she would progressively take over entirely. Myers graduated first in her class from Swarthmore College in 1919 and wrote a mystery novel, Murder Yet to Come, in 1929 using typological ideas ( which won the National Detective Murder Mystery Contest that year ). However, neither Myers nor Briggs was formally educated in the discipline of psychology, and both were self - taught in the field of psychometric testing. Myers therefore apprenticed herself to Edward N. Hay, who was then personnel manager for a large Philadelphia bank and who went on to start one of the first successful personnel consulting firms in the United States. From Hay, Myers learned rudimentary test construction, scoring, validation, and statistical methods. Briggs and Myers began creating the indicator during World War II in the belief that a knowledge of personality preferences would help women who were entering the industrial workforce for the first time to identify the sort of war - time jobs that would be `` most comfortable and effective '' for them. The Briggs Myers Type Indicator Handbook was published in 1944. The indicator changed its name to `` Myers -- Briggs Type Indicator '' in 1956. Myers ' work attracted the attention of Henry Chauncey, head of the Educational Testing Service. Under these auspices, the first MBTI Manual was published in 1962. The MBTI received further support from Donald W. MacKinnon, head of the Institute of Personality and Social Research at the University of California, Berkeley ; W. Harold Grant, a professor at Michigan State University and Auburn University ; and Mary H. McCaulley of the University of Florida. The publication of the MBTI was transferred to Consulting Psychologists Press in 1975, and the Center for Applications of Psychological Type was founded as a research laboratory. After Myers ' death in May 1980, Mary McCaulley updated the MBTI Manual and the second edition was published in 1985. The third edition appeared in 1998. Origins. of the theory ( edit ) Jung 's theory of psychological types was not based on controlled scientific studies, but instead on clinical observation, introspection, and anecdote -- methods regarded as inconclusive in the modern field of scientific psychology. Jung 's typology theories postulated a sequence of four cognitive functions ( thinking, feeling, sensation, and intuition ), each having one of two polar orientations ( extraversion or introversion ), giving a total of eight dominant functions. The MBTI is based on these eight hypothetical functions, although with some differences in expression from Jung 's model ( see Differences from Jung below ). While the Jungian model offers empirical evidence for the first three dichotomies, whether the Briggs had evidence for the J-P preference is unclear. Differences from Jung ( edit ) Structured vs. projective personality assessment ( edit ) The MBTI takes what is called a `` structured '' approach to personality assessment. The responses to items are considered `` closed '' and interpreted according to the theory of the test constructers in scoring. This is contrary to the `` projective '' approach to personality assessment advocated by psychodynamic theorists such as Carl Jung. Indeed, Jung was a proponent of the `` word association '' test as a measure of the unconscious dispositions influencing behavior. This approach uses `` open - ended '' responses that need to be interpreted in the context of the `` whole '' person, and not according to the preconceived theory of the test constructers. Supporters of the projective approach to personality assessment are critical of the structured approach because defense mechanisms may distort responses to the closed items on structured tests. Judging vs. perception ( edit ) The most notable addition of Myers and Briggs ideas to Jung 's original thought is their concept that a given type 's fourth letter ( J or P ) indicates a person 's preferred extraverted function, which is the dominant function for extraverted types and the auxiliary function for introverted types. Orientation of the tertiary function ( edit ) Jung theorized that the dominant function acts alone in its preferred world : exterior for extraverts and interior for introverts. The remaining three functions, he suggested, operate together in the opposite orientation. If the dominant cognitive function is introverted the other functions are extraverted and vice versa. The MBTI Manual summarizes references in Jung 's work to the balance in psychological type as follows : `` There are several references in Jung 's writing to the three remaining functions having an opposite attitudinal character. For example, in writing about introverts with thinking dominant... Jung commented that the counterbalancing functions have an extraverted character. '' However, many MBTI practitioners hold that the tertiary function is oriented in the same direction as the dominant function. Using the INTP type as an example, the orientation would be as follows : Dominant introverted thinking Auxiliary extraverted intuition Tertiary introverted sensing Inferior extraverted feeling Concepts ( edit ) The MBTI Manual states that the indicator `` is designed to implement a theory ; therefore, the theory must be understood to understand the MBTI ''. Fundamental to the MBTI is the theory of psychological type as originally developed by Carl Jung. Jung proposed the existence of two dichotomous pairs of cognitive functions : The `` rational '' ( judging ) functions : thinking and feeling The `` irrational '' ( perceiving ) functions : sensation and intuition Jung believed that for every person, each of the functions is expressed primarily in either an introverted or extraverted form. Based on Jung 's original concepts, Briggs and Myers developed their own theory of psychological type, described below, on which the MBTI is based. However, although psychologist Hans Eysenck called the MBTI a moderately successful quantification of Jung 's original principles as outlined in Psychological Types, he also said, `` ( The MBTI ) creates 16 personality types which are said to be similar to Jung 's theoretical concepts. I have always found difficulties with this identification, which omits one half of Jung 's theory ( he had 32 types, by asserting that for every conscious combination of traits there was an opposite unconscious one ). Obviously, the latter half of his theory does not admit of questionnaire measurement, but to leave it out and pretend that the scales measure Jungian concepts is hardly fair to Jung. '' In any event, both models remain hypothetical, with no controlled scientific studies supporting either Jung 's original concept of type or the Myers -- Briggs variation. Type ( edit ) Jung 's typological model regards psychological type as similar to left or right handedness : people are either born with, or develop, certain preferred ways of perceiving and deciding. The MBTI sorts some of these psychological differences into four opposite pairs, or `` dichotomies '', with a resulting 16 possible psychological types. None of these types is `` better '' or `` worse '' ; however, Briggs and Myers theorized that people innately `` prefer '' one overall combination of type differences. In the same way that writing with the left hand is difficult for a right - hander, so people tend to find using their opposite psychological preferences more difficult, though they can become more proficient ( and therefore behaviorally flexible ) with practice and development. The 16 types are typically referred to by an abbreviation of four letters -- the initial letters of each of their four type preferences ( except in the case of intuition, which uses the abbreviation `` N '' to distinguish it from introversion ). For instance : ESTJ : extraversion ( E ), sensing ( S ), thinking ( T ), judgment ( J ) INFP : introversion ( I ), intuition ( N ), feeling ( F ), perception ( P ) These abbreviations are applied to all 16 types. Four dichotomies ( edit ) Carl Jung Subjective Objective Perception Intuition / Sensing Introversion / Extraversion 1 Judging Feeling / Thinking Introversion / Extraversion 2 Myers -- Briggs Subjective Objective Deductive Intuition / Sensing Introversion / Extraversion Inductive Feeling / Thinking Perception / Judging The four pairs of preferences or `` dichotomies '' are shown in the adjacent table. The terms used for each dichotomy have specific technical meanings relating to the MBTI, which differ from their everyday usage. For example, people who prefer judgment over perception are not necessarily more `` judgmental '' or less `` perceptive '', nor does the MBTI instrument measure aptitude ; it simply indicates for one preference over another. Someone reporting a high score for extraversion over introversion can not be correctly described as more extraverted : they simply have a clear preference. Point scores on each of the dichotomies can vary considerably from person to person, even among those with the same type. However, Isabel Myers considered the direction of the preference ( for example, E vs. I ) to be more important than the degree of the preference ( for example, very clear vs. slight ). The expression of a person 's psychological type is more than the sum of the four individual preferences. The preferences interact through type dynamics and type development. Attitudes : extroversion / introversion ( edit ) Myers -- Briggs literature uses the terms extraversion and introversion as Jung first used them. Extraversion means literally outward - turning and introversion, inward - turning. These specific definitions differ somewhat from the popular usage of the words. Extraversion is the spelling used in MBTI publications. The preferences for extraversion and introversion are often called `` attitudes ''. Briggs and Myers recognized that each of the cognitive functions can operate in the external world of behavior, action, people, and things ( `` extraverted attitude '' ) or the internal world of ideas and reflection ( `` introverted attitude '' ). The MBTI assessment sorts for an overall preference for one or the other. People who prefer extraversion draw energy from action : they tend to act, then reflect, then act further. If they are inactive, their motivation tends to decline. To rebuild their energy, extraverts need breaks from time spent in reflection. Conversely, those who prefer introversion `` expend '' energy through action : they prefer to reflect, then act, then reflect again. To rebuild their energy, introverts need quiet time alone, away from activity. An extravert 's flow is directed outward toward people and objects, whereas the introvert 's is directed inward toward concepts and ideas. Contrasting characteristics between extraverted and introverted people include : Extraverted are action - oriented, while introverted are thought - oriented. Extraverted seek breadth of knowledge and influence, while introverted seek depth of knowledge and influence. Extraverted often prefer more frequent interaction, while introverted prefer more substantial interaction. Extraverted recharge and get their energy from spending time with people, while introverted recharge and get their energy from spending time alone ; they consume their energy through the opposite process. Functions : sensing / intuition and thinking / feeling ( edit ) Jung identified two pairs of psychological functions : Two perceiving functions : sensation ( usually called sensing in MBTI writings ) and intuition Two judging functions : thinking and feeling According to Jung 's typology model, each person uses one of these four functions more dominantly and proficiently than the other three ; however, all four functions are used at different times depending on the circumstances. Sensing and intuition are the information - gathering ( perceiving ) functions. They describe how new information is understood and interpreted. People who prefer sensing are more likely to trust information that is in the present, tangible, and concrete : that is, information that can be understood by the five senses. They tend to distrust hunches, which seem to come `` out of nowhere ''. They prefer to look for details and facts. For them, the meaning is in the data. On the other hand, those who prefer intuition tend to trust information that is less dependent upon the senses, that can be associated with other information ( either remembered or discovered by seeking a wider context or pattern ). They may be more interested in future possibilities. For them, the meaning is in the underlying theory and principles which are manifested in the data. Thinking and feeling are the decision - making ( judging ) functions. The thinking and feeling functions are both used to make rational decisions, based on the data received from their information - gathering functions ( sensing or intuition ). Those who prefer thinking tend to decide things from a more detached standpoint, measuring the decision by what seems reasonable, logical, causal, consistent, and matching a given set of rules. Those who prefer feeling tend to come to decisions by associating or empathizing with the situation, looking at it ' from the inside ' and weighing the situation to achieve, on balance, the greatest harmony, consensus and fit, considering the needs of the people involved. Thinkers usually have trouble interacting with people who are inconsistent or illogical, and tend to give very direct feedback to others. They are concerned with the truth and view it as more important. As noted already, people who prefer thinking do not necessarily, in the everyday sense, `` think better '' than their feeling counterparts, in the common sense ; the opposite preference is considered an equally rational way of coming to decisions ( and, in any case, the MBTI assessment is a measure of preference, not ability ). Similarly, those who prefer feeling do not necessarily have `` better '' emotional reactions than their thinking counterparts. In many cases, however, people who use thinking functions as either dominant or auxiliary tend to have more underdeveloped feeling functions, and often have more trouble with regulating and making healthy and productive decisions based on their feelings. Dominant function ( edit ) A diagram depicting the cognitive functions of each type : A type 's background color represents its dominant function and its text color represents its auxiliary function. According to Jung, people use all four cognitive functions. However, one function is generally used in a more conscious and confident way. This dominant function is supported by the secondary ( auxiliary ) function, and to a lesser degree the tertiary function. The fourth and least conscious function is always the opposite of the dominant function. Myers called this inferior function the `` shadow ''. The four functions operate in conjunction with the attitudes ( extraversion and introversion ). Each function is used in either an extraverted or introverted way. A person whose dominant function is extraverted intuition, for example, uses intuition very differently from someone whose dominant function is introverted intuition. Lifestyle preferences : judging / perception ( edit ) Myers and Briggs added another dimension to Jung 's typological model by identifying that people also have a preference for using either the judging function ( thinking or feeling ) or their perceiving function ( sensing or intuition ) when relating to the outside world ( extraversion ). Myers and Briggs held that types with a preference for judging show the world their preferred judging function ( thinking or feeling ). So, TJ types tend to appear to the world as logical and FJ types as empathetic. According to Myers, judging types like to `` have matters settled ''. Those types who prefer perception show the world their preferred perceiving function ( sensing or intuition ). So, SP types tend to appear to the world as concrete and NP types as abstract. According to Myers, perceptive types prefer to `` keep decisions open ''. For extraverts, the J or P indicates their dominant function ; for introverts, the J or P indicates their auxiliary function. Introverts tend to show their dominant function outwardly only in matters `` important to their inner worlds ''. For example : Because the ENTJ type is extraverted, the J indicates that the dominant function is the preferred judging function ( extraverted thinking ). The ENTJ type introverts the auxiliary perceiving function ( introverted intuition ). The tertiary function is sensing and the inferior function is introverted feeling. Because the INTJ type is introverted, however, the J instead indicates that the auxiliary function is the preferred judging function ( extraverted thinking ). The INTJ type introverts the dominant perceiving function ( introverted intuition ). The tertiary function is feeling and the inferior function is extraverted sensing. Format and administration ( edit ) The current North American English version of the MBTI Step I includes 93 forced - choice questions ( 88 are in the European English version ). `` Forced - choice '' means that a person has to choose only one of two possible answers to each question. The choices are a mixture of word pairs and short statements. Choices are not literal opposites, but chosen to reflect opposite preferences on the same dichotomy. Participants may skip questions if they feel they are unable to choose. Using psychometric techniques, such as item response theory, the MBTI will then be scored and will attempt to identify the preference, and clarity of preference, in each dichotomy. After taking the MBTI, participants are usually asked to complete a `` Best Fit '' exercise ( see below ) and then given a readout of their Reported Type, which will usually include a bar graph and number ( Preference Clarity Index ) to show how clear they were about each preference when they completed the questionnaire. During the early development of the MBTI, thousands of items were used. Most were eventually discarded because they did not have high `` midpoint discrimination '', meaning the results of that one item did not, on average, move an individual score away from the midpoint. Using only items with high midpoint discrimination allows the MBTI to have fewer items on it, but still provide as much statistical information as other instruments with many more items with lower midpoint discrimination. Additional formats ( edit ) Isabel Myers had noted that people of any given type shared differences, as well as similarities. At the time of her death, she was developing a more in - depth method of measuring how people express and experience their individual type pattern. In 1987, an advanced scoring system was developed for the MBTI. From this was developed the Type Differentiation Indicator ( Saunders, 1989 ) which is a scoring system for the longer MBTI, Form J, which includes the 290 items written by Myers that had survived her previous item analyses. It yields 20 subscales ( five under each of the four dichotomous preference scales ), plus seven additional subscales for a new `` Comfort - Discomfort '' factor ( which purportedly corresponds to the missing factor of neuroticism ). This factor 's scales indicate a sense of overall comfort and confidence versus discomfort and anxiety. They also load onto one of the four type dimensions : guarded - optimistic ( also T / F ), defiant - compliant ( also T / F ), carefree - worried ( also T / F ), decisive - ambivalent ( also J / P ), intrepid - inhibited ( Also E / I ), leader - follower ( Also E / I ), and proactive - distractible ( also J / P ) Also included is a composite of these called `` strain ''. There are also scales for type - scale consistency and comfort - scale consistency. Reliability of 23 of the 27 TDI subscales is greater than 0.50, `` an acceptable result given the brevity of the subscales '' ( Saunders, 1989 ). In 1989, a scoring system was developed for only the 20 subscales for the original four dichotomies. This was initially known as `` Form K '' or the `` Expanded Analysis Report ''. This tool is now called the `` MBTI Step II ''. Form J or the TDI included the items ( derived from Myers ' and McCaulley 's earlier work ) necessary to score what became known as `` Step III ''. ( The 1998 MBTI Manual reported that the two instruments were one and the same ) It was developed in a joint project involving the following organizations : CPP, the publisher of the whole family of MBTI works ; CAPT ( Center for Applications of Psychological Type ), which holds all of Myers ' and McCaulley 's original work ; and the MBTI Trust, headed by Katharine and Peter Myers. Step III was advertised as addressing type development and the use of perception and judgment by respondents. Translations into other languages ( edit ) The MBTI has been successfully translated and adapted into over 20 languages, including reviews by subject - matter experts fluent in the native language, and statistical analysis to check that the questions still measure the same psychological concepts as the original US English questionnaire. Precepts and ethics ( edit ) These precepts are generally used in the ethical administration of the MBTI : Type not trait The MBTI sorts for type ; it does not indicate the strength of ability. It allows the clarity of a preference to be ascertained ( Bill clearly prefers introversion ), but not the strength of preference ( Jane strongly prefers extraversion ) or degree of aptitude ( Harry is good at thinking ). In this sense, it differs from trait - based tools such as 16PF. Type preferences are polar opposites : a precept of MBTI is that people fundamentally prefer one thing over the other, not a bit of both. Own best judge People are considered the best judge of their own type. While the MBTI provides a Reported Type, this is considered only an indication of their probable overall Type. A Best Fit Process is usually used to allow respondents to develop their understanding of the four dichotomies, to form their own hypothesis as to their overall Type, and to compare this against the Reported Type. In more than 20 % of cases, the hypothesis and the Reported Type differ in one or more dichotomies. Using the clarity of each preference, any potential for bias in the report, and often, a comparison of two or more whole Types may then help respondents determine their own Best Fit. No right or wrong No preference or total type is considered better or worse than another. They are all ' Gifts Differing ', as emphasized by the title of Isabel Briggs Myers ' book on this subject. Voluntary Compelling anyone to take the MBTI is considered unethical. It should always be taken voluntarily. Confidentiality The result of the MBTI Reported and Best Fit type are confidential between the individual and administrator, and ethically, not for disclosure without permission. Not for selection The results of the assessment should not be used to `` label, evaluate, or limit the respondent in any way '' ( emphasis original ). Since all types are valuable, and the MBTI measures preferences rather than aptitude, the MBTI is not considered a proper instrument for purposes of employment selection. Many professions contain highly competent individuals of different types with complementary preferences. Importance of proper feedback People should always be given detailed feedback from a trained administrator and an opportunity to undertake a Best Fit exercise to check against their Reported Type. This feedback can be given in person, by telephone or electronically. Type dynamics and development ( edit ) The Sixteen Types US Population Breakdown The table organizing the sixteen types was created by Isabel Myers ( an INFP person ). ISTJ 11 -- 14 % ISFJ 9 -- 14 % INFJ 1 -- 3 % INTJ 2 -- 4 % ISTP 4 -- 6 % ISFP 5 -- 9 % INFP 4 -- 5 % INTP 3 -- 5 % ESTP 4 -- 5 % ESFP 4 -- 9 % ENFP 6 -- 8 % ENTP 2 -- 5 % ESTJ 8 -- 12 % ESFJ 9 -- 13 % ENFJ 2 -- 5 % ENTJ 2 -- 5 % Estimated percentages of the 16 types in the United States population. The interaction of two, three, or four preferences is known as `` type dynamics ''. Although type dynamics has received little or no empirical support to substantiate its viability as a scientific theory, Myers and Briggs asserted that for each of the 16 four - preference types, one function is the most dominant and is likely to be evident earliest in life. A secondary or auxiliary function typically becomes more evident ( differentiated ) during teenaged years and provides balance to the dominant. In normal development, individuals tend to become more fluent with a third, tertiary function during mid-life, while the fourth, inferior function remains least consciously developed. The inferior function is often considered to be more associated with the unconscious, being most evident in situations such as high stress ( sometimes referred to as being `` in the grip '' of the inferior function ). However, the use of type dynamics is disputed : in the conclusion of various studies on the subject of type dynamics, James H. Reynierse writes, `` Type dynamics has persistent logical problems and is fundamentally based on a series of category mistakes ; it provides, at best, a limited and incomplete account of type related phenomena '' ; and `` type dynamics relies on anecdotal evidence, fails most efficacy tests, and does not fit the empirical facts ''. His studies gave the clear result that the descriptions and workings of type dynamics do not fit the real behavior of people. He suggests getting completely rid of type dynamics, because it does not help, but hinders understanding of personality. The presumed order of functions 1 to 4 did only occur in one out of 540 test results. The sequence of differentiation of dominant, auxiliary, and tertiary functions through life is termed type development. This is an idealized sequence that may be disrupted by major life events. The dynamic sequence of functions and their attitudes can be determined in the following way : The overall lifestyle preference ( J-P ) determines whether the judging ( T-F ) or perceiving ( S-N ) preference is most evident in the outside world ; i.e., which function has an extraverted attitude The attitude preference ( E-I ) determines whether the extraverted function is dominant or auxiliary For those with an overall preference for extraversion, the function with the extraverted attitude will be the dominant function. For example, for an ESTJ type the dominant function is the judging function, thinking, and this is experienced with an extraverted attitude. This is notated as a dominant Te. For an ESTP, the dominant function is the perceiving function, sensing, notated as a dominant Se. The auxiliary function for extraverts is the secondary preference of the judging or perceiving functions, and it is experienced with an introverted attitude : for example, the auxiliary function for ESTJ is introverted sensing ( Si ) and the auxiliary for ESTP is introverted thinking ( Ti ). For those with an overall preference for introversion, the function with the extraverted attitude is the auxiliary ; the dominant is the other function in the main four letter preference. So the dominant function for ISTJ is introverted sensing ( Si ) with the auxiliary ( supporting ) function being extraverted thinking ( Te ). The tertiary function is the opposite preference from the auxiliary. For example, if the Auxiliary is thinking then the Tertiary would be feeling. The attitude of the tertiary is the subject of some debate and therefore is not normally indicated ; i.e. if the auxiliary was Te then the tertiary would be F ( not Fe or Fi ) The inferior function is the opposite preference and attitude from the Dominant, so for an ESTJ with dominant Te the inferior would be Fi. Note that for extraverts, the dominant function is the one most evident in the external world. For introverts, however, it is the auxiliary function that is most evident externally, as their dominant function relates to the interior world. Some examples of whole types may clarify this further. Taking the ESTJ example above : Extraverted function is a judging function ( T-F ) because of the overall J preference Extraverted function is dominant because of overall E preference Dominant function is therefore extraverted thinking ( Te ) Auxiliary function is the preferred perceiving function : introverted sensing ( Si ) Tertiary function is the opposite of the Auxiliary : intuition ( N ) Inferior function is the opposite of the Dominant : introverted feeling ( Fi ) The dynamics of the ESTJ are found in the primary combination of extraverted thinking as their dominant function and introverted sensing as their auxiliary function : the dominant tendency of ESTJs to order their environment, to set clear boundaries, to clarify roles and timetables, and to direct the activities around them is supported by their facility for using past experience in an ordered and systematic way to help organize themselves and others. For instance, ESTJs may enjoy planning trips for groups of people to achieve some goal or to perform some culturally uplifting function. Because of their ease in directing others and their facility in managing their own time, they engage all the resources at their disposal to achieve their goals. However, under prolonged stress or sudden trauma, ESTJs may overuse their extraverted thinking function and fall into the grip of their inferior function, introverted feeling. Although the ESTJ can seem insensitive to the feelings of others in their normal activities, under tremendous stress, they can suddenly express feelings of being unappreciated or wounded by insensitivity. Looking at the diametrically opposite four - letter type, INFP : Extraverted function is a perceiving function ( S-N ) because of the P preference Introverted function is dominant because of the I preference Dominant function is therefore introverted feeling ( Fi ) Auxiliary function is extraverted intuition ( Ne ) Tertiary function is the opposite of the Auxiliary : sensing ( S ) Inferior function is the opposite of the Dominant : extraverted thinking ( Te ) The dynamics of the INFP rest on the fundamental correspondence of introverted feeling and extraverted intuition. The dominant tendency of the INFP is toward building a rich internal framework of values and toward championing human rights. They often devote themselves behind the scenes to causes such as civil rights or saving the environment. Since they tend to avoid the limelight, postpone decisions, and maintain a reserved posture, they are rarely found in executive - director - type positions of the organizations that serve those causes. Normally, the INFP dislikes being `` in charge '' of things. When not under stress, the INFP radiates a pleasant and sympathetic demeanor, but under extreme stress, they can suddenly become rigid and directive, exerting their extraverted thinking erratically. Every type, and its opposite, is the expression of these interactions, which give each type its unique, recognizable signature. Cognitive learning styles ( edit ) The test is scored by evaluating each answer in terms of what it reveals about the taker. Each question is relevant to one of the following cognitive learning styles. Each is not a polar opposite, but a gradual continuum. Extraversion / introversion ( edit ) The extraverted types learn best by talking and interacting with others. By interacting with the physical world, extraverts can process and make sense of new information. The introverted types prefer quiet reflection and privacy. Information processing occurs for introverts as they explore ideas and concepts internally. Sensing / intuition ( edit ) The second continuum reflects what people focus their attentions on. Sensing types enjoy a learning environment in which the material is presented in a detailed and sequential manner. Sensing types often attend to what is occurring in the present, and can move to the abstract after they have established a concrete experience. Intuitive types prefer a learning atmosphere in which an emphasis is placed on meaning and associations. Insight is valued higher than careful observation, and pattern recognition occurs naturally for intuitive types. Thinking / feeling ( edit ) The third continuum reflects a person 's decision preferences. Thinking types desire objective truth and logical principles and are natural at deductive reasoning. Feeling types place an emphasis on issues and causes that can be personalized while they consider other people 's motives. Judging / perceiving ( edit ) The fourth continuum reflects how a person regards complexity. Judging types will thrive when information is organized and structured, and they will be motivated to complete assignments in order to gain closure. Perceiving types will flourish in a flexible learning environment in which they are stimulated by new and exciting ideas. Judging types like to be on time, while perceiving types may be late and / or procrastinate. Correlations with other instruments ( edit ) Keirsey temperaments ( edit ) David W. Keirsey mapped four `` temperaments '' to the existing Myers -- Briggs system groupings : SP, SJ, NF and NT ; this often results in confusion of the two theories. However, the Keirsey Temperament Sorter is not directly associated with the official Myers -- Briggs Type Indicator.

McCrae and Costa present correlations between the MBTI scales and the currently popular Big Five personality constructs measured, for example, by the NEO-PI - R. The five purported personality constructs have been labeled : extraversion, openness, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and neuroticism ( emotional instability ), although there is not universal agreement on the Big Five theory and the related Five - Factor Model ( FFM ). The following study is based on the results from 267 men followed as part of a longitudinal study of aging. ( Similar results were obtained with 201 women. ) Extraversion Openness Agreeableness Conscientiousness Neuroticism E-I − 0.74 0.03 − 0.03 0.08 0.16 S-N 0.10 0.72 0.04 − 0.15 − 0.06 T-F 0.19 0.02 0.44 − 0.15 0.06 J-P 0.15 0.30 − 0.06 − 0.49 0.11 The closer the number is to 1.0 or − 1.0, the higher the degree of correlation. These results suggest that the four MBTI scales can be incorporated within the Big Five personality trait constructs, but that the MBTI lacks a measure for emotional stability dimension of the Big Five ( though the TDI, discussed above, has addressed that dimension ). Emotional stability ( or neuroticism ) is a predictor of depression and anxiety disorders. These correlations refer to the second letter shown, i.e., the table shows that I and P have negative correlations with extraversion and conscientiousness, respectively, while F and N have positive correlations with agreeableness and openness, respectively. These findings led McCrae and Costa to conclude that, `` correlational analyses showed that the four MBTI indices did measure aspects of four of the five major dimensions of normal personality. The five - factor model provides an alternative basis for interpreting MBTI findings within a broader, more commonly shared conceptual framework. '' However, `` there was no support for the view that the MBTI measures truly dichotomous preferences or qualitatively distinct types, instead, the instrument measures four relatively independent dimensions. '' Personality disorders ( edit ) One study found personality disorders as described by the DSM overall to correlate modestly with I, N, T, and P, although the associations varied significantly by disorder. The only two disorders with significant correlations of all four MBTI dimensions were schizotypal ( INTP ) and obsessive - compulsive personality disorder ( ISTJ ). Criticism ( edit ) The validity ( statistical validity and test validity ) of the MBTI as a psychometric instrument has been the subject of much criticism. It has been estimated that between a third and a half of the published material on the MBTI has been produced for the special conferences of the Center for the Application of Psychological Type ( which provide the training in the MBTI, and are funded by sales of the MBTI ) or as papers in the Journal of Psychological Type ( which is edited and supported by Myers -- Briggs advocates and by sales of the indicator ). It has been argued that this reflects a lack of critical scrutiny. Many of the studies that endorse MBTI are methodologically weak or unscientific. A 1996 review by Gardner and Martinko concluded : `` It is clear that efforts to detect simplistic linkages between type preferences and managerial effectiveness have been disappointing. Indeed, given the mixed quality of research and the inconsistent findings, no definitive conclusion regarding these relationships can be drawn. '' Psychometric specialist Robert Hogan wrote : `` Most personality psychologists regard the MBTI as little more than an elaborate Chinese fortune cookie... '' No evidence for dichotomies ( edit ) As described in the § Four dichotomies section, Isabel Myers considered the direction of the preference ( for example, E vs. I ) to be more important than the degree of the preference. Statistically, this would mean that scores on each MBTI scale would show a bimodal distribution with most people scoring near the ends of the scales, thus dividing people into either, e.g., an extroverted or an introverted psychological type. However, most studies have found that scores on the individual scales were actually distributed in a centrally peaked manner, similar to a normal distribution, indicating that the majority of people were actually in the middle of the scale and were thus neither clearly introverted nor extroverted. Most personality traits do show a normal distribution of scores from low to high, with about 15 % of people at the low end, about 15 % at the high end and the majority of people in the middle ranges. But in order for the MBTI to be scored, a cut - off line is used at the middle of each scale and all those scoring below the line are classified as a low type and those scoring above the line are given the opposite type. Thus, psychometric assessment research fails to support the concept of type, but rather shows that most people lie near the middle of a continuous curve. `` Although we do not conclude that the absence of bimodality necessarily proves that the MBTI developers ' theory - based assumption of categorical `` types '' of personality is invalid, the absence of empirical bimodality in IRT - based research of MBTI scores does indeed remove a potentially powerful line of evidence that was previously available to `` type '' advocates to cite in defense of their position. '' Validity and utility ( edit ) The content of the MBTI scales is problematic. In 1991, a National Academy of Sciences committee reviewed data from MBTI research studies and concluded that only the I-E scale has high correlations with comparable scales of other instruments and low correlations with instruments designed to assess different concepts, showing strong validity. In contrast, the S-N and T-F scales show relatively weak validity. The 1991 review committee concluded at the time there was `` not sufficient, well - designed research to justify the use of the MBTI in career counseling programs ''. This study based its measurement of validity on `` criterion - related validity ( i.e., does the MBTI predict specific outcomes related to interpersonal relations or career success / job performance? ). '' There is insufficient evidence to make claims about utility, particularly of the four letter type derived from a person 's responses to the MBTI items. Lack of objectivity ( edit ) The accuracy of the MBTI depends on honest self - reporting. Unlike some personality questionnaires, such as the 16PF Questionnaire, the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory, or the Personality Assessment Inventory, the MBTI does not use validity scales to assess exaggerated or socially desirable responses. As a result, individuals motivated to do so can fake their responses, and one study found that the MBTI judgment / perception dimension correlates weakly with the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire lie scale. If respondents `` fear they have something to lose, they may answer as they assume they should. '' However, the MBTI ethical guidelines state, `` It is unethical and in many cases illegal to require job applicants to take the Indicator if the results will be used to screen out applicants. '' The intent of the MBTI is to provide `` a framework for understanding individual differences, and... a dynamic model of individual development ''. Terminology ( edit ) The terminology of the MBTI has been criticized as being very `` vague and general '', so as to allow any kind of behavior to fit any personality type, which may result in the Forer effect, where people give a high rating to a positive description that supposedly applies specifically to them. Others argue that while the MBTI type descriptions are brief, they are also distinctive and precise. Some theorists, such as David Keirsey, have expanded on the MBTI descriptions, providing even greater detail. For instance, Keirsey 's descriptions of his four temperaments, which he correlated with the sixteen MBTI personality types, show how the temperaments differ in terms of language use, intellectual orientation, educational and vocational interests, social orientation, self - image, personal values, social roles, and characteristic hand gestures. Factor Analysis ( edit ) Researchers have reported that the JP and the SN scales correlate with one another. One factor - analytic study based on ( N = 1291 ) college - aged students found six different factors instead of the four purported dimensions, thereby raising doubts as to the construct validity of the MBTI. Correlates ( edit ) According to Hans Eysenck : `` The main dimension in the MBTI is called E-I, or extraversion - introversion ; this is mostly a sociability scale, correlating quite well with the MMPI social introversion scale ( negatively ) and the Eysenck Extraversion scale ( positively ). Unfortunately, the scale also has a loading on neuroticism, which correlates with the introverted end. Thus introversion correlates roughly ( i.e. averaging values for males and females ) -. 44 with dominance, -. 24 with aggression, +. 37 with abasement, +. 46 with counselling readiness, -. 52 with self - confidence, -. 36 with personal adjustment, and -. 45 with empathy. The failure of the scale to disentangle Introversion and Neuroticism ( there is no scale for neurotic and other psychopathological attributes in the MBTI ) is its worst feature, only equalled by the failure to use factor analysis in order to test the arrangement of items in the scale. '' Reliability ( edit ) The test - retest reliability of the MBTI tends to be low. Large numbers of people ( between 39 % and 76 % of respondents ) obtain different type classifications when retaking the indicator after only five weeks. In Fortune Magazine ( May 15, 2013 ), an article titled `` Have we all been duped by the Myers - Briggs Test '' stated : `` The interesting -- and somewhat alarming -- fact about the MBTI is that, despite its popularity, it has been subject to sustained criticism by professional psychologists for over three decades. One problem is that it displays what statisticians call low `` test - retest reliability. '' So if you retake the test after only a five - week gap, there 's around a 50 % chance that you will fall into a different personality category compared to the first time you took the test. A second criticism is that the MBTI mistakenly assumes that personality falls into mutually exclusive categories... The consequence is that the scores of two people labelled `` introverted '' and `` extroverted '' may be almost exactly the same, but they could be placed into different categories since they fall on either side of an imaginary dividing line. '' Within each dichotomy scale, as measured on Form G, about 83 % of categorizations remain the same when people are retested within nine months and around 75 % when retested after nine months. About 50 % of people re-administered the MBTI within nine months remain the same overall type and 36 % the same type after more than nine months. For Form M ( the most current form of the MBTI instrument ), the MBTI Manual reports that these scores are higher ( p. 163, Table 8.6 ). In one study, when people were asked to compare their preferred type to that assigned by the MBTI assessment, only half of people chose the same profile. It has been argued that criticisms regarding the MBTI mostly come down to questions regarding the validity of its origins, not questions regarding the validity of the MBTI 's usefulness. Others argue that the MBTI can be a reliable measurement of personality ; it just so happens that `` like all measures, the MBTI yields scores that are dependent on sample characteristics and testing conditions ''. Utility ( edit ) Isabel Myers claimed that the proportion of different personality types varied by choice of career or course of study. However, researchers examining the proportions of each type within varying professions report that the proportion of MBTI types within each occupation is close to that within a random sample of the population. Some researchers have expressed reservations about the relevance of type to job satisfaction, as well as concerns about the potential misuse of the instrument in labeling people. CPP became the exclusive publisher of the MBTI in 1975. They call it `` the world 's most widely used personality assessment '', with as many as two million assessments administered annually. CPP and other proponents state that the indicator meets or exceeds the reliability of other psychological instruments and cite reports of individual behavior. Although meta - analysis claim support for validity and reliability, studies suggest that the MBTI `` lacks convincing validity data '' and that it is pseudoscience. The MBTI is not a useful predictor of job performance. As noted above under Precepts and ethics, the MBTI measures preferences, not ability. The use of the MBTI as a predictor of job success is expressly discouraged in the Manual. However, the MBTI continues to be popular because many people lack psychometric sophistication, it is not difficult to understand, and there are many supporting books, websites and other sources which are readily available to the general public.

when was the myers briggs type indicator developed
[ { "answer_passages": [ "her class from Swarthmore College in 1919 and wrote a mystery novel, Murder Yet to Come, in 1929 using typological ideas ( which won the National Detective Murder Mystery Contest that year ). However, neither Myers nor Briggs was formally educated in the discipline of psychology, and both were self - taught in the field of psychometric testing. Myers therefore apprenticed herself to Edward N. Hay, who was then personnel manager for a large Philadelphia bank and who went on to start one of the first successful personnel consulting firms in the United States. From Hay, Myers learned rudimentary test construction, scoring, validation, and statistical methods. Briggs and Myers began creating the indicator during World War II in the belief that a knowledge of personality preferences would help women who were entering the industrial workforce for the first time to identify the sort of war - time jobs that would be `` most comfortable and effective '' for them. The Briggs Myers Type Indicator Handbook was published in 1944. The indicator changed its name to `` Myers -- Briggs Type Indicator '' in 1956. Myers ' work attracted the attention of Henry Chauncey, head of the Educational Testing Service. Under these auspices, the first MBTI Manual was published in 1962. The MBTI received further support from Donald W. MacKinnon, head of the Institute of Personality and Social Research at the University of California, Berkeley ; W." ], "id": [ "12075783214531075624" ], "short_answers": [ "during World War II" ], "yes_no_answer": [ -1 ] } ]

Rugby World Cup The Webb Ellis Cup is awarded to the winner of the Rugby World Cup Sport Rugby union Instituted Number of teams 20 Regions Worldwide ( World Rugby ) Holders New Zealand ( 2015 ) Most titles New Zealand ( 3 titles ) Website www.rugbyworldcup.com The opening ceremony of the 2007 tournament Tournaments 1991 1995 1999 2003 2007 2011 2015 2019 2023 The Rugby World Cup is a men 's rugby union tournament contested every four years between the top international teams. The tournament was first held in 1987, when the tournament was co-hosted by New Zealand and Australia. New Zealand are the current champions, having defeated Australia in the final of the 2015 tournament in England. The winners are awarded the William Webb Ellis Cup, named after William Webb Ellis, the Rugby School pupil who -- according to a popular legend -- invented rugby by picking up the ball during a football game. Four countries have won the trophy ; New Zealand have won it three times, two teams have won twice, Australia and South Africa, while England have won it once. The tournament is administered by World Rugby, the sport 's international governing body. Sixteen teams were invited to participate in the inaugural tournament in 1987, however since 1999 twenty teams have taken part. Japan will host the next event in 2019 and France will host in 2023.

The inaugural World Cup in 1987, did not involve any qualifying process ; instead, the 16 places were automatically filled by seven eligible International Rugby Football Board ( IRFB, now World Rugby ) member nations, and the rest by invitation. In 2003 and 2007, the qualifying format allowed for eight of the twenty available positions to be filled by automatic qualification, as the eight quarter finalists of the previous tournament enter its successor. The remaining twelve positions were filled by continental qualifying tournaments. Positions were filled by three teams from the Americas, one from Asia, one from Africa, three from Europe and two from Oceania. Another two places were allocated for repechage. The first repechage place was determined by a match between the runners - up from the Africa and Europe qualifying tournaments, with that winner then playing the Americas runner - up to determine the place. The second repechage position was determined between the runners - up from the Asia and Oceania qualifiers. The current format allows for 12 of the 20 available positions to be filled by automatic qualification, as the teams who finish third or better in the group ( pool ) stages of the previous tournament enter its successor ( where they will be seeded ). The qualification system for the remaining eight places is region - based, with a total eight teams allocated for Europe, five for Oceania, three for the Americas, two for Africa, and one for Asia. The last place is determined by an intercontinental play - off. Tournament The 2015 tournament involved twenty nations competing over six weeks. There were two stages, a pool and a knockout. Nations were divided into four pools, A through to D, of five nations each. The teams were seeded before the start of the tournament, with the seedings taken from the World Rankings in December 2012. The four highest - ranked teams were drawn into pools A to D. The next four highest - ranked teams were then drawn into pools A to D, followed by the next four. The remaining positions in each pool were filled by the qualifiers. Nations play four pool games, playing their respective pool members once each. A bonus points system is used during pool play. If two or more teams are level on points, a system of criteria is used to determine the higher ranked ; the sixth and final criterion decides the higher rank through the official World Rankings. The winner and runner - up of each pool enter the knockout stage. The knockout stage consists of quarter - and semi-finals, and then the final. The winner of each pool is placed against a runner - up of a different pool in a quarter - final. The winner of each quarter - final goes on to the semi-finals, and the respective winners proceed to the final. Losers of the semi-finals contest for third place, called the ' Bronze Final '. If a match in the knockout stages ends in a draw, the winner is determined through extra time. If that fails, the match goes into sudden death and the next team to score any points is the winner. As a last resort, a kicking competition is used. History Main article : History of the Rugby World Cup A scrum between Samoa ( in blue ) and Wales ( in red ) during the 2011 World Cup Prior to the Rugby World Cup, there was no truly global rugby union competition, but there were a number of other tournaments. One of the oldest is the annual Six Nations Championship, which started in 1883 as the Home Nations Championship, a tournament between England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. It expanded to the Five Nations in 1910, when France joined the tournament. France did not participate from 1931 to 1939, during which period it reverted to a Home Nations championship. In 2000, Italy joined the competition, which became the Six Nations. Rugby union was also played at the Summer Olympic Games, first appearing at the 1900 Paris games and subsequently at London in 1908, Antwerp in 1920, and Paris again in 1924. France won the first gold medal, then Australasia, with the last two being won by the United States. However rugby union ceased to be on Olympic program after 1924. The idea of a Rugby World Cup had been suggested on numerous occasions going back to the 1950s, but met with opposition from most unions in the IRFB. The idea resurfaced several times in the early 1980s, with the Australian Rugby Union ( ARU ) in 1983, and the New Zealand Rugby Union ( NZRU ) in 1984 independently proposing the establishment of a world cup. A proposal was again put to the IRFB in 1985 and this time successfully passed 10 -- 6. The delegates from Australia, France, New Zealand and South Africa all voted for the proposal, and the delegates from Ireland and Scotland against ; the English and Welsh delegates were split, with one from each country for and one against. The inaugural tournament, jointly hosted by Australia and New Zealand, was held in May and June 1987, with sixteen nations taking part. New Zealand became the first ever champions, defeating France 29 -- 9 in the final. The subsequent 1991 tournament was hosted by England, with matches played throughout Britain, Ireland and France. This tournament saw the introduction of a qualifying tournament ; eight places were allocated to the quarter - finalists from 1987, and the remaining eight decided by a thirty - five nation qualifying tournament. Australia won the second tournament, defeating England 12 -- 6 in the final. In 1992, eight years after their last official series, South Africa hosted New Zealand in a one - off test match. The resumption of international rugby in South Africa came after the dismantling of the apartheid system, and was only done with permission of the African National Congress. With their return to test rugby, South Africa were selected to host the 1995 Rugby World Cup. After upsetting Australia in the opening match, South Africa continued to advance through the tournament until they met New Zealand in the final. After a tense final that went into extra time, South Africa emerged 15 -- 12 winners, with then President Nelson Mandela, wearing a Springbok jersey, presenting the trophy to South Africa 's captain, Francois Pienaar. The tournament in 1999 was hosted by Wales with matches also being held throughout the rest of the United Kingdom, Ireland and France. The tournament included a repechage system, alongside specific regional qualifying places, and an increase from sixteen to twenty participating nations. Australia claimed their second title, defeating France in the final. The 2003 event was hosted by Australia, although it was originally intended to be held jointly with New Zealand. England emerged as champions defeating Australia in extra time. England 's win was unique in that it broke the southern hemisphere 's dominance in the event. Such was the celebration of England 's victory, that an estimated 750,000 people gathered in central London to greet the team, making the day the largest sporting celebration of its kind ever in the United Kingdom. The 2007 competition was hosted by France, with matches also being held in Wales and Scotland. South Africa claimed their second title by defeating defending champions England 15 -- 6. The 2011 tournament was awarded to New Zealand in November 2005, ahead of bids from Japan and South Africa. The All Blacks reclaimed their place atop the rugby world with a narrow 8 -- 7 win over France in the 2011 final. In the 2015 edition of tournament, hosted by England, New Zealand once again won the final, this time against established rivals, Australia. In doing so, they became the first team in World Cup history to win three titles, as well as the first to successfully defend a title. It was also New Zealand 's first title victory on foreign soil. Trophy Main article : Webb Ellis Cup The Webb Ellis Cup is the prize presented to winners of the Rugby World Cup, named after William Webb Ellis. The trophy is also referred to simply as the Rugby World Cup. The trophy was chosen in 1987 as an appropriate cup for use in the competition, and was created in 1906 by Garrard 's Crown Jewellers. The trophy is restored after each game by fellow Royal Warrant holder Thomas Lyte. The words ' The International Rugby Football Board ' and ' The Webb Ellis Cup ' are engraved on the face of the cup. It stands thirty - eight centimetres high and is silver gilded in gold, and supported by two cast scroll handles, one with the head of a satyr, and the other a head of a nymph. In Australia the trophy is colloquially known as `` Bill '' -- a reference to William Webb Ellis. Selection of hosts Main article : Rugby World Cup hosts Tournaments are organised by Rugby World Cup Ltd ( RWCL ), which is itself owned by World Rugby. The selection of host is decided by a vote of World Rugby Council members. The voting procedure is managed by a team of independent auditors, and the voting kept secret. The allocation of a tournament to a host nation is now made five or six years prior to the commencement of the event, for example New Zealand were awarded the 2011 event in late 2005. The tournament has been hosted by multiple nations. For example, the 1987 tournament was co-hosted by Australia and New Zealand. World Rugby requires that the hosts must have a venue with a capacity of at least 60,000 spectators for the final. Host nations sometimes construct or upgrade stadia in preparation for the World Cup, such as Millennium Stadium -- purpose built for the 1999 tournament -- and Eden Park, upgraded for 2011. The first country outside of the traditional rugby nations of SANZAAR or the Six Nations to be awarded the hosting rights was Japan, who will host the 2019 tournament. France will host the 2023 tournament. Tournament growth Media coverage Organizers of the Rugby World Cup, as well as the Global Sports Impact, state that the Rugby World Cup is the third largest sporting event in the World, behind only the FIFA World Cup and the Olympics, although other sources question whether this is accurate. Reports emanating from World Rugby and its business partners have frequently touted the tournament 's media growth, with cumulative worldwide television audiences of 300 million for the inaugural 1987 tournament, 1.75 billion in 1991, 2.67 billion in 1995, 3 billion in 1999, 3.5 billion in 2003, and 4 billion in 2007. The 4 billion figure was widely dismissed as the global audience for television is estimated to be about 4.2 billion. However, independent reviews have called into question the methodology of those growth estimates, pointing to factual inconsistencies. The event 's supposed drawing power outside of a handful of rugby strongholds was also downplayed significantly, with an estimated 97 percent of the 33 million average audience produced by the 2007 final coming from Australasia, South Africa, the British Isles and France. Other sports have been accused of exaggerating their television reach over the years ; such claims are not exclusive to the Rugby World Cup. While the event 's global popularity remains a matter of dispute, high interest in traditional rugby nations is well documented. The 2003 final, between Australia and England, became the most watched rugby union match in the history of Australian television.

See also : National team appearances in the Rugby World Cup Twenty - five nations have participated at the Rugby World Cup ( excluding qualifying tournaments ). Of the eight tournaments that have been held, all but one have been won by a national team from the southern hemisphere. The southern hemisphere 's dominance has been broken only in 2003, when England beat Australia in the final. Thus far the only nations to host and win a tournament are New Zealand ( 1987 and 2011 ) and South Africa ( 1995 ). The performance of other host nations includes England ( 1991 final hosts ) and Australia ( 2003 hosts ) finishing runners - up. France ( 2007 hosts ) finished fourth, while Wales ( 1999 hosts ) failed to reach the semi-finals. Wales became the first host nation to be eliminated at the pool stages in 1991, while, England became the first solo host nation to be eliminated at the pool stages in 2015. Of the twenty - five nations that have ever participated in at least one tournament, twelve of them have never missed a tournament.

{ "text": "Member states of the Commonwealth of Nations - wikipedia Member states of the Commonwealth of Nations Current Commonwealth members ( dark blue ), current suspended members ( green ), former members ( orange ), and British Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies ( light blue ) The Commonwealth of Nations is a voluntary association of 53 sovereign states. Nearly all of them are former British colonies or dependencies of those colonies. No one government in the Commonwealth exercises power over the others, as is the case in a political union. Rather, the Commonwealth is an international organisation in which countries with diverse social, political, and economic backgrounds are regarded as equal in status, and cooperate within a framework of common values and goals, as outlined in the Singapore Declaration issued in 1971. Such common values and goals include the promotion of democracy, human rights, good governance, the rule of law, individual liberty, egalitarianism, free trade, multilateralism, and world peace, which are promoted through multilateral projects and meetings, such as the Commonwealth Games, held once every four years. The symbol of this free association is Queen Elizabeth II, who serves as the Head of the Commonwealth. This position, however, does not imbue her with any political or executive power over any Commonwealth member states ; the position is purely symbolic, and it is the Commonwealth Secretary - General who is the chief executive of the Commonwealth. The Commonwealth was first officially formed in 1931 when the Statute of Westminster gave legal recognition to the sovereignty of dominions. Known as the `` British Commonwealth '', the original members were the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Irish Free State, and Newfoundland, although Australia and New Zealand did not adopt the statute until 1942 and 1947 respectively. In 1949, the London Declaration was signed and marked the birth of the modern Commonwealth and the adoption of its present name. The newest member is Rwanda, which joined on 29 November 2009. The most recent departure was the Maldives, which severed its connection with the Commonwealth on 13 October 2016. As at April 2017, of the states that are members of the Commonwealth of Nations, three are in Europe, twelve in North America and the Caribbean, one in South America, nineteen in Africa, seven in Asia, and eleven in Oceania. There are seven former members, four of which no longer exist as independent entities ( but form part of current member states ). The members have a combined population of 2.4 billion, almost a third of the world population, of whom 1.21 billion live in India, and 95 % live in Asia and Africa combined. Currently sixteen of the member states are Commonwealth realms, with the Head of the Commonwealth as their head of state. Five others are monarchies with their own individual monarchs ( Brunei, Lesotho, Malaysia, Swaziland, Tonga ) and the rest are republics. Republic of Ireland ( from 1949 ), Zimbabwe ( 2003 ), and Maldives ( 2016 ) are former members of the Commonwealth. South Africa, Pakistan and The Gambia left and later rejoined the Commonwealth.

Australia was one of the original Dominions at the time of the Statute of Westminster 1931, although the statute was not adopted in Australia until 1942 ( with retroactive effect from 1939 ). The Australia Act 1986 established specifically, only the State Premier could now advise the Queen on appointment or removal of a State Governor. Nonetheless, the Queen could still exercise any of her powers with respect to the State if she was `` personally present '' in the State.

The books of the King James Version include the 39 books of the Old Testament, an intertestamental section containing 14 books of the Apocrypha, and the 27 books of the New Testament. It was first printed by Robert Barker, the King 's Printer, and was the third translation into English approved by the English Church authorities : The first had been the Great Bible, commissioned in the reign of King Henry VIII ( 1535 ), and the second had been the Bishops ' Bible, commissioned in the reign of Queen Elizabeth I ( 1568 ). In January 1604, King James I convened the Hampton Court Conference, where a new English version was conceived in response to the problems of the earlier translations perceived by the Puritans, a faction of the Church of England. The translation is noted for its `` majesty of style '', and has been described as one of the most important books in English culture and a driving force in the shaping of the English - speaking world. James gave the translators instructions intended to ensure that the new version would conform to the ecclesiology of, and reflect the episcopal structure of, the Church of England and its belief in an ordained clergy. The translation was done by 47 scholars, all of whom were members of the Church of England. In common with most other translations of the period, the New Testament was translated from Greek, the Old Testament from Hebrew and Aramaic, and the Apocrypha from Greek and Latin. In the Book of Common Prayer ( 1662 ), the text of the Authorized Version replaced the text of the Great Bible for Epistle and Gospel readings ( but not for the Psalter, which substantially retained Coverdale 's Great Bible version ), and as such was authorised by Act of Parliament. By the first half of the 18th century, the Authorized Version had become effectively unchallenged as the English translation used in Anglican and English Protestant churches, except for the Psalms and some short passages in the Book of Common Prayer of the Church of England. Over the course of the 18th century, the Authorized Version supplanted the Latin Vulgate as the standard version of scripture for English - speaking scholars. With the development of stereotype printing at the beginning of the 19th century, this version of the Bible became the most widely printed book in history, almost all such printings presenting the standard text of 1769 extensively re-edited by Benjamin Blayney at Oxford, and nearly always omitting the books of the Apocrypha. Today the unqualified title `` King James Version '' usually indicates this Oxford standard text.

The title page carries the words `` Appointed to be read in Churches '', and F.F. Bruce suggests it was `` probably authorised by order in council '' but no record of the authorisation survives `` because the Privy Council registers from 1600 to 1613 were destroyed by fire in January 1618 / 19 ''. For many years it was common not to give the translation any specific name. In his Leviathan of 1651, Thomas Hobbes referred to it as the English Translation made in the beginning of the Reign of King James. A 1761 `` Brief Account of the various Translations of the Bible into English '' refers to the 1611 version merely as a new, compleat, and more accurate Translation, despite referring to the Great Bible by its name, and despite using the name `` Rhemish Testament '' for the Douay - Rheims Bible version. Similarly, a `` History of England '', whose fifth edition was published in 1775, writes merely that ( a ) new translation of the Bible, viz., that now in Use, was begun in 1607, and published in 1611. King James 's Bible is used as the name for the 1611 translation ( on a par with the `` Genevan Bible '' or the `` Rhemish Testament '' ) in Charles Butler 's Horae Biblicae ( first published 1797 ). Other works from the early 19th century confirm the widespread use of this name on both sides of the Atlantic : it is found both in a `` Historical sketch of the English translations of the Bible '' published in Massachusetts in 1815, and in an English publication from 1818, which explicitly states that the 1611 version is `` generally known by the name of King James 's Bible ''. This name was also found as King James ' Bible ( without the final `` s '' ) : for example in a book review from 1811. The phrase `` King James 's Bible '' is used as far back as 1715, although in this case it is not clear whether this is a name or merely a description. The use of Authorized Version or Authorised Version, capitalized and used as a name, is found as early as 1814. For some time before this, descriptive phrases such as `` our present, and only publicly authorised version '' ( 1783 ), `` our Authorised version '' ( 1792 ), and `` the authorized version '' ( 1801, uncapitalized ) are found. The Oxford English Dictionary records a usage in 1824. In Britain, the 1611 translation is generally known as the `` Authorised Version '' today. As early as 1814, we find King James ' version, evidently a descriptive phrase, being used. `` The King James Version '' is found, unequivocally used as a name, in a letter from 1855. The next year King James Bible, with no possessive, appears as a name in a Scottish source. In the United States, the `` 1611 translation '' ( actually editions following the standard text of 1769, see below ) is generally known as the King James Version today. History ( edit ) Earlier English translations ( edit ) See also : English translations of the Bible The followers of John Wycliffe undertook the first complete English translations of the Christian scriptures in the 14th century. These translations were banned in 1409 due to their association with the Lollards. The Wycliffe Bible pre-dated the printing press but was circulated very widely in manuscript form, often inscribed with a date earlier than 1409 to avoid the legal ban. As the text translated in the various versions of the Wycliffe Bible was the Latin Vulgate, and as it contained no heterodox readings, there was in practice no way by which the ecclesiastical authorities could distinguish the banned version ; consequently many Catholic commentators of the 15th and 16th centuries ( such as Thomas More ) took these manuscript English Bibles to represent an anonymous earlier orthodox translation. William Tyndale translated the New Testament into English in 1525. In 1525, William Tyndale, an English contemporary of Martin Luther, undertook a translation of the New Testament. Tyndale 's translation was the first printed Bible in English. Over the next ten years, Tyndale revised his New Testament in the light of rapidly advancing biblical scholarship, and embarked on a translation of the Old Testament. Despite some controversial translation choices, and in spite of Tyndale 's execution on charges of heresy for having made the translated bible, the merits of Tyndale 's work and prose style made his translation the ultimate basis for all subsequent renditions into Early Modern English. With these translations lightly edited and adapted by Myles Coverdale, in 1539, Tyndale 's New Testament and his incomplete work on the Old Testament became the basis for the Great Bible. This was the first `` authorised version '' issued by the Church of England during the reign of King Henry VIII. When Mary I succeeded to the throne in 1553, she returned the Church of England to the communion of the Roman Catholic faith and many English religious reformers fled the country, some establishing an English - speaking colony at Geneva. Under the leadership of John Calvin, Geneva became the chief international centre of Reformed Protestantism and Latin biblical scholarship. These English expatriates undertook a translation that became known as the Geneva Bible. This translation, dated to 1560, was a revision of Tyndale 's Bible and the Great Bible on the basis of the original languages. Soon after Elizabeth I took the throne in 1558, the flaws of both the Great Bible and the Geneva Bible ( namely, that the Geneva Bible did not `` conform to the ecclesiology and reflect the episcopal structure of the Church of England and its beliefs about an ordained clergy '' ) became painfully apparent. In 1568, the Church of England responded with the Bishops ' Bible, a revision of the Great Bible in the light of the Geneva version. While officially approved, this new version failed to displace the Geneva translation as the most popular English Bible of the age -- in part because the full Bible was only printed in lectern editions of prodigious size and at a cost of several pounds. Accordingly, Elizabethan lay people overwhelmingly read the Bible in the Geneva Version -- small editions were available at a relatively low cost. At the same time, there was a substantial clandestine importation of the rival Douay -- Rheims New Testament of 1582, undertaken by exiled Roman Catholics. This translation, though still derived from Tyndale, claimed to represent the text of the Latin Vulgate. In May 1601, King James VI of Scotland attended the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland at St Columba 's Church in Burntisland, Fife, at which proposals were put forward for a new translation of the Bible into English. Two years later, he ascended to the throne of England as James I. Considerations for a New Version ( edit ) The newly crowned King James convened the Hampton Court Conference in 1604. That gathering proposed a new English version in response to the perceived problems of earlier translations as detected by the Puritan faction of the Church of England. Here are three examples of problems the Puritans perceived with the Bishops and Great Bibles : First, Galatians iv. 25 ( from the Bishops ' Bible ). The Greek word susoichei is not well translated as now it is, bordereth neither expressing the force of the word, nor the apostle 's sense, nor the situation of the place. Secondly, psalm cv. 28 ( from the Great Bible ), ' They were not obedient ; ' the original being, ' They were not disobedient. ' Thirdly, psalm cvi. 30 ( also from the Great Bible ), ' Then stood up Phinees and prayed, ' the Hebrew hath, ' executed judgment. ' Instructions were given to the translators that were intended to limit the Puritan influence on this new translation. The Bishop of London added a qualification that the translators would add no marginal notes ( which had been an issue in the Geneva Bible ). King James cited two passages in the Geneva translation where he found the marginal notes offensive to the principles of divinely ordained royal supremacy : Exodus 1 : 19, where the Geneva Bible notes had commended the example of civil disobedience to the Egyptian Pharaoh showed by the Hebrew midwives, and also II Chronicles 15 : 16, where the Geneva Bible had criticized King Asa for not having executed his idolatrous ' mother ', Queen Maachah ( Maachah had actually been Asa 's grandmother, but James considered the Geneva Bible reference as sanctioning the execution of his own mother Mary, Queen of Scots ). Further, the King gave the translators instructions designed to guarantee that the new version would conform to the ecclesiology of the Church of England. Certain Greek and Hebrew words were to be translated in a manner that reflected the traditional usage of the church. For example, old ecclesiastical words such as the word `` church '' were to be retained and not to be translated as `` congregation ''. The new translation would reflect the episcopal structure of the Church of England and traditional beliefs about ordained clergy. James ' instructions included several requirements that kept the new translation familiar to its listeners and readers. The text of the Bishops ' Bible would serve as the primary guide for the translators, and the familiar proper names of the biblical characters would all be retained. If the Bishops ' Bible was deemed problematic in any situation, the translators were permitted to consult other translations from a pre-approved list : the Tyndale Bible, the Coverdale Bible, Matthew 's Bible, the Great Bible, and the Geneva Bible. In addition, later scholars have detected an influence on the Authorized Version from the translations of Taverner 's Bible and the New Testament of the Douay -- Rheims Bible. It is for this reason that the flyleaf of most printings of the Authorized Version observes that the text had been `` translated out of the original tongues, and with the former translations diligently compared and revised, by His Majesty 's special commandment. '' As the work proceeded, more detailed rules were adopted as to how variant and uncertain readings in the Hebrew and Greek source texts should be indicated, including the requirement that words supplied in English to ' complete the meaning ' of the originals should be printed in a different type face. The task of translation was undertaken by 47 scholars, although 54 were originally approved. All were members of the Church of England and all except Sir Henry Savile were clergy. The scholars worked in six committees, two based in each of the University of Oxford, the University of Cambridge, and Westminster. The committees included scholars with Puritan sympathies, as well as High Churchmen. Forty unbound copies of the 1602 edition of the Bishops ' Bible were specially printed so that the agreed changes of each committee could be recorded in the margins. The committees worked on certain parts separately and the drafts produced by each committee were then compared and revised for harmony with each other. The scholars were not paid directly for their translation work, instead a circular letter was sent to bishops encouraging them to consider the translators for appointment to well - paid livings as these fell vacant. Several were supported by the various colleges at Oxford and Cambridge, while others were promoted to bishoprics, deaneries and prebends through royal patronage. The committees started work towards the end of 1604. King James I of England, on 22 July 1604, sent a letter to Archbishop Bancroft asking him to contact all English churchmen requesting that they make donations to his project. Right trusty and well beloved, we greet you well. Whereas we have appointed certain learned men, to the number of 4 and 50, for the translating of the Bible, and in this number, divers of them have either no ecclesiastical preferment at all, or else so very small, as the same is far unmeet for men of their deserts and yet we in ourself in any convenient time can not well remedy it, therefor we do hereby require you, that presently you write in our name as well to the Archbishop of York, as to the rest of the bishops of the province of Cant. ( erbury ) signifying unto them, that we do well and straitly charge everyone of them... that ( all excuses set apart ) when a prebend or parsonage... shall next upon any occasion happen to be void... we may commend for the same some such of the learned men, as we shall think fit to be preferred unto it... Given unto our signet at our palace of West. ( minister ) on 2 and 20 July, in the 2nd year of our reign of England, France, and of Ireland, and of Scotland xxxvii. '' They had all completed their sections by 1608, the Apocrypha committee finishing first. From January 1609, a General Committee of Review met at Stationers ' Hall, London to review the completed marked texts from each of the six committees. The General Committee included John Bois, Andrew Downes and John Harmar, and others known only by their initials, including `` AL '' ( who may be Arthur Lake ), and were paid for their attendance by the Stationers ' Company. John Bois prepared a note of their deliberations ( in Latin ) -- which has partly survived in two later transcripts. Also surviving of the translators ' working papers are a bound - together set of marked - up corrections to one of the forty Bishops ' Bibles -- covering the Old Testament and Gospels, and also a manuscript translation of the text of the Epistles, excepting those verses where no change was being recommended to the readings in the Bishops ' Bible. Archbishop Bancroft insisted on having a final say making fourteen further changes, of which one was the term `` bishopricke '' at Acts 1 : 20. Translation committees ( edit ) First Westminster Company, translated Genesis to 2 Kings : Lancelot Andrewes, John Overall, Hadrian à Saravia, Richard Clarke, John Layfield, Robert Tighe, Francis Burleigh, Geoffrey King, Richard Thomson, William Bedwell ; First Cambridge Company, translated 1 Chronicles to the Song of Solomon : Edward Lively, John Richardson, Lawrence Chaderton, Francis Dillingham, Roger Andrewes, Thomas Harrison, Robert Spaulding, Andrew Bing ; First Oxford Company, translated Isaiah to Malachi : John Harding, John Rainolds ( or Reynolds ), Thomas Holland, Richard Kilby, Miles Smith, Richard Brett, Daniel Fairclough, William Thorne ; Second Oxford Company, translated the Gospels, Acts of the Apostles, and the Book of Revelation : Thomas Ravis, George Abbot, Richard Eedes, Giles Tomson, Sir Henry Savile, John Peryn, Ralph Ravens, John Harmar, John Aglionby, Leonard Hutten ; Second Westminster Company, translated the Epistles : William Barlow, John Spenser, Roger Fenton, Ralph Hutchinson, William Dakins, Michael Rabbet, Thomas Sanderson ( who probably had already become Archdeacon of Rochester ) ; Second Cambridge Company, translated the Apocrypha : John Duport, William Branthwaite, Jeremiah Radcliffe, Samuel Ward, Andrew Downes, John Bois, Robert Ward, Thomas Bilson, Richard Bancroft. Printing ( edit ) Archbishop Richard Bancroft was the `` chief overseer '' of the production of the Authorized Version. The original printing of the Authorized Version was published by Robert Barker, the King 's Printer, in 1611 as a complete folio Bible. It was sold looseleaf for ten shillings, or bound for twelve. Robert Barker 's father, Christopher, had, in 1589, been granted by Elizabeth I the title of royal Printer, with the perpetual Royal Privilege to print Bibles in England. Robert Barker invested very large sums in printing the new edition, and consequently ran into serious debt, such that he was compelled to sub-lease the privilege to two rival London printers, Bonham Norton and John Bill. It appears that it was initially intended that each printer would print a portion of the text, share printed sheets with the others, and split the proceeds. Bitter financial disputes broke out, as Barker accused Norton and Bill of concealing their profits, while Norton and Bill accused Barker of selling sheets properly due to them as partial Bibles for ready money. There followed decades of continual litigation, and consequent imprisonment for debt for members of the Barker and Norton printing dynasties, while each issued rival editions of the whole Bible. In 1629 the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge successfully managed to assert separate and prior royal licences for Bible printing, for their own university presses -- and Cambridge University took the opportunity to print revised editions of the Authorized Version in 1629, and 1638. The editors of these editions included John Bois and John Ward from the original translators. This did not, however, impede the commercial rivalries of the London printers, especially as the Barker family refused to allow any other printers access to the authoritative manuscript of the Authorized Version. Two editions of the whole Bible are recognized as having been produced in 1611, which may be distinguished by their rendering of Ruth 3 : 15 ; the first edition reading `` he went into the city '', where the second reads `` she went into the city. '' ; these are known colloquially as the `` He '' and `` She '' Bibles. The opening of the Epistle to the Hebrews of the 1611 edition of the Authorized Version shows the original typeface. Marginal notes reference variant translations and cross references to other Bible passages. Each chapter is headed by a précis of contents. There are decorative initial letters for each Chapter, and a decorated headpiece to each Biblical Book, but no illustrations in the text. The original printing was made before English spelling was standardized, and when printers, as a matter of course, expanded and contracted the spelling of the same words in different places, so as to achieve an even column of text. They set v for initial u and v, and u for u and v everywhere else. They used long s for non-final s. The glyph j occurs only after i, as in the final letter in a Roman numeral. Punctuation was relatively heavy, and differed from current practice. When space needed to be saved, the printers sometimes used ye for the, ( replacing the Middle English thorn with the continental y ), set ã for an or am ( in the style of scribe 's shorthand ), and set & for and. On the contrary, on a few occasions, they appear to have inserted these words when they thought a line needed to be padded. Later printings regularized these spellings ; the punctuation has also been standardized, but still varies from current usage norms. The first printing used a black letter typeface instead of a roman typeface, which itself made a political and a religious statement. Like the Great Bible and the Bishops ' Bible, the Authorized Version was `` appointed to be read in churches ''. It was a large folio volume meant for public use, not private devotion ; the weight of the type mirrored the weight of establishment authority behind it. However, smaller editions and roman - type editions followed rapidly, e.g. quarto roman - type editions of the Bible in 1612. This contrasted with the Geneva Bible, which was the first English Bible printed in a roman typeface ( although black - letter editions, particularly in folio format, were issued later ). In contrast to the Geneva Bible and the Bishops ' Bible, which had both been extensively illustrated, there were no illustrations at all in the 1611 edition of the Authorized Version, the main form of decoration being the historiated initial letters provided for books and chapters -- together with the decorative title pages to the Bible itself, and to the New Testament. In the Great Bible, readings derived from the Vulgate but not found in published Hebrew and Greek texts had been distinguished by being printed in smaller roman type. In the Geneva Bible, a distinct typeface had instead been applied to distinguish text supplied by translators, or thought needful for English grammar but not present in the Greek or Hebrew ; and the original printing of the Authorized Version used roman type for this purposed, albeit sparsely and inconsistently. This results in perhaps the most significant difference between the original printed text of the King James Bible and the current text. When, from the later 17th century onwards, the Authorized Version began to be printed in roman type, the typeface for supplied words was changed to italics, this application being regularised and greatly expanded. This was intended to de-emphasise the words. The original printing contained two prefatory texts ; the first was a formal Epistle Dedicatory to `` the most high and mighty Prince '' King James. Many British printings reproduce this, while most non-British printings do not. The second preface was called Translators to the Reader, a long and learned essay that defends the undertaking of the new version. It observes the translators ' stated goal, that they, `` never thought from the beginning that ( they ) should need to make a new translation, nor yet to make of a bad one a good one,... but to make a good one better, or out of many good ones, one principal good one, not justly to be excepted against ; that hath been our endeavour, that our mark. '' They also give their opinion of previous English Bible translations, stating, `` We do not deny, nay, we affirm and avow, that the very meanest translation of the Bible in English, set forth by men of our profession, ( for we have seen none of theirs ( Roman Catholics ) of the whole Bible as yet ) containeth the word of God, nay, is the word of God. '' As with the first preface, some British printings reproduce this, while most non-British printings do not. Almost every printing that includes the second preface also includes the first. The first printing contained a number of other apparatus, including a table for the reading of the Psalms at matins and evensong, and a calendar, an almanac, and a table of holy days and observances. Much of this material became obsolete with the adoption of the Gregorian Calendar by Britain and its colonies in 1752, and thus modern editions invariably omit it. So as to make it easier to locate a particular passage, each chapter was headed by a brief precis of its contents with verse numbers. Later editors freely substituted their own chapter summaries, or omitted such material entirely. Pilcrow marks are used to indicate the beginnings of paragraphs except after the book of Acts. Authorized Version ( edit ) The Authorized Version was meant to replace the Bishops ' Bible as the official version for readings in the Church of England. No record of its authorization exists ; it was probably effected by an order of the Privy Council but the records for the years 1600 to 1613 were destroyed by fire in January 1618 / 19 and it is commonly known as the Authorized Version in the United Kingdom. The King 's Printer issued no further editions of the Bishops ' Bible, so necessarily the Authorized Version replaced it as the standard lectern Bible in parish church use in England. In the 1662 Book of Common Prayer, the text of the Authorized Version finally supplanted that of the Great Bible in the Epistle and Gospel readings -- though the Prayer Book Psalter nevertheless continues in the Great Bible version. The case was different in Scotland, where the Geneva Bible had long been the standard church bible. It was not until 1633 that a Scottish edition of the Authorized Version was printed -- in conjunction with the Scots coronation in that year of Charles I. The inclusion of illustrations in the edition raised accusations of Popery from opponents of the religious policies of Charles and William Laud, Archbishop of Canterbury. However, official policy favoured the Authorized Version, and this favour returned during the Commonwealth -- as London printers succeeded in re-asserting their monopoly on Bible printing with support from Oliver Cromwell -- and the `` New Translation '' was the only edition on the market. F.F. Bruce reports that the last recorded instance of a Scots parish continuing to use the `` Old Translation '' ( i.e. Geneva ) as being in 1674. The Authorized Version 's acceptance by the general public took longer. The Geneva Bible continued to be popular, and large numbers were imported from Amsterdam, where printing continued up to 1644 in editions carrying a false London imprint. However, few if any genuine Geneva editions appear to have been printed in London after 1616, and in 1637 Archbishop Laud prohibited their printing or importation. In the period of the English Civil War, soldiers of the New Model Army were issued a book of Geneva selections called `` The Soldiers ' Bible ''. In the first half of the 17th century the Authorized Version is most commonly referred to as `` The Bible without notes '', thereby distinguishing it from the Geneva `` Bible with notes ''. There were several printings of the Authorized Version in Amsterdam -- one as late as 1715 which combined the Authorized Version translation text with the Geneva marginal notes ; one such edition was printed in London in 1649. During the Commonwealth a commission was established by Parliament to recommend a revision of the Authorized Version with acceptably Protestant explanatory notes, but the project was abandoned when it became clear that these would nearly double the bulk of the Bible text. After the English Restoration, the Geneva Bible was held to be politically suspect and a reminder of the repudiated Puritan era. Furthermore, disputes over the lucrative rights to print the Authorized Version dragged on through the 17th century, so none of the printers involved saw any commercial advantage in marketing a rival translation. The Authorized Version became the only current version circulating among English - speaking people. A small minority of critical scholars were slow to accept the latest translation. Hugh Broughton, the most highly regarded English Hebraist of his time ( but who had been excluded from the panel of translators because of his utterly uncongenial temperament ), issued in 1611 a total condemnation of the new version, criticizing especially the translators ' rejection of word - for - word equivalence and stated that `` he would rather be torn in pieces by wild horses than that this abominable translation ( KJV ) should ever be foisted upon the English people ''. Walton 's London Polyglot of 1657 disregards the Authorized Version ( and indeed the English language ) entirely. Walton 's reference text throughout is the Vulgate. The Vulgate Latin is also found as the standard text of scripture in Thomas Hobbes 's Leviathan of 1651, indeed Hobbes gives Vulgate chapter and verse numbers ( e.g., Job 41 : 24, not Job 41 : 33 ) for his head text. In Chapter 35 : ' The Signification in Scripture of Kingdom of God ', Hobbes discusses Exodus 19 : 5, first in his own translation of the ' Vulgar Latin ', and then subsequently as found in the versions he terms ``... the English translation made in the beginning of the reign of King James '', and `` The Geneva French '' ( i.e. Olivétan ). Hobbes advances detailed critical arguments why the Vulgate rendering is to be preferred. For most of the 17th century the assumption remained that, while it had been of vital importance to provide the scriptures in the vernacular for ordinary people, nevertheless for those with sufficient education to do so, Biblical study was best undertaken within the international common medium of Latin. It was only in 1700 that modern bilingual Bibles appeared in which the Authorized Version was compared with counterpart Dutch and French Protestant vernacular Bibles. In consequence of the continual disputes over printing privileges, successive printings of the Authorized Version were notably less careful than the 1611 edition had been -- compositors freely varying spelling, capitalization and punctuation -- and also, over the years, introducing about 1,500 misprints ( some of which, like the omission of `` not '' from the commandment `` Thou shalt not commit adultery '' in the `` Wicked Bible '', became notorious ). The two Cambridge editions of 1629 and 1638 attempted to restore the proper text -- while introducing over 200 revisions of the original translators ' work, chiefly by incorporating into the main text a more literal reading originally presented as a marginal note. A more thoroughly corrected edition was proposed following the Restoration, in conjunction with the revised 1662 Book of Common Prayer, but Parliament then decided against it. By the first half of the 18th century, the Authorized Version was effectively unchallenged as the sole English translation in current use in Protestant churches, and was so dominant that the Roman Catholic Church in England issued in 1750 a revision of the 1610 Douay - Rheims Bible by Richard Challoner that was very much closer to the Authorized Version than to the original. However, general standards of spelling, punctuation, typesetting, capitalization and grammar had changed radically in the 100 years since the first edition of the Authorized Version, and all printers in the market were introducing continual piecemeal changes to their Bible texts to bring them into line with current practice -- and with public expectations of standardized spelling and grammatical construction. Over the course of the 18th century, the Authorized Version supplanted the Hebrew, Greek and the Latin Vulgate as the standard version of scripture for English speaking scholars and divines, and indeed came to be regarded by some as an inspired text in itself -- so much so that any challenge to its readings or textual base came to be regarded by many as an assault on Holy Scripture. This has been contemptuously labelled `` AVolatry '', a play on the name `` Authorized Version '' ( AV ) and idolatry. Standard text of 1769 ( edit ) Title page of the 1760 Cambridge edition By the mid-18th century the wide variation in the various modernized printed texts of the Authorized Version, combined with the notorious accumulation of misprints, had reached the proportion of a scandal, and the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge both sought to produce an updated standard text. First of the two was the Cambridge edition of 1760, the culmination of 20 - years work by Francis Sawyer Parris, who died in May of that year. This 1760 edition was reprinted without change in 1762 and in John Baskerville 's fine folio edition of 1763. This was effectively superseded by the 1769 Oxford edition, edited by Benjamin Blayney, though with comparatively few changes from Parris 's edition ; but which became the Oxford standard text, and is reproduced almost unchanged in most current printings. Parris and Blayney sought consistently to remove those elements of the 1611 and subsequent editions that they believed were due to the vagaries of printers, while incorporating most of the revised readings of the Cambridge editions of 1629 and 1638, and each also introducing a few improved readings of their own. They undertook the mammoth task of standardizing the wide variation in punctuation and spelling of the original, making many thousands of minor changes to the text. In addition, Blayney and Parris thoroughly revised and greatly extended the italicization of `` supplied '' words not found in the original languages by cross-checking against the presumed source texts. Blayney seems to have worked from the 1550 Stephanus edition of the Textus Receptus, rather than the later editions of Beza that the translators of the 1611 New Testament had favoured ; accordingly the current Oxford standard text alters around a dozen italicizations where Beza and Stephanus differ. Like the 1611 edition, the 1769 Oxford edition included the Apocrypha, although Blayney tended to remove cross-references to the Books of the Apocrypha from the margins of their Old and New Testaments wherever these had been provided by the original translators. Altogether, the standardization of spelling and punctuation caused Blayney 's 1769 text to differ from the 1611 text in around 24,000 places. Since that date, a few further changes have been introduced to the Oxford standard text. The Oxford University Press paperback edition of the `` Authorized King James Version '' provides Oxford 's standard text, and also includes the prefatory section `` The Translators to the Reader ''. The 1611 and 1769 texts of the first three verses from I Corinthians 13 are given below. ( 1611 ) 1. Though I speake with the tongues of men & of Angels, and haue not charity, I am become as sounding brasse or a tinkling cymbal. 2 And though I haue the gift of prophesie, and vnderstand all mysteries and all knowledge : and though I haue all faith, so that I could remooue mountaines, and haue no charitie, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestowe all my goods to feede the poore, and though I giue my body to bee burned, and haue not charitie, it profiteth me nothing. ( 1769 ) 1. Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge ; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. There are a number of superficial edits in these three verses : 11 changes of spelling, 16 changes of typesetting ( including the changed conventions for the use of u and v ), three changes of punctuation, and one variant text -- where `` not charity '' is substituted for `` no charity '' in verse two, in the erroneous belief that the original reading was a misprint. A particular verse for which Blayney 's 1769 text differs from Parris 's 1760 version is Matthew 5 : 13, where Parris ( 1760 ) has Ye are the salt of the earth : but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing but to be cast out, and to be troden under foot of men. Blayney ( 1769 ) changes ' lost his savour ' to ' lost its savour ', and troden to trodden. For a period, Cambridge continued to issue Bibles using the Parris text, but the market demand for absolute standardization was now such that they eventually adapted Blayney 's work, but omitted some of the idiosyncratic Oxford spellings. By the mid-19th century, almost all printings of the Authorized Version were derived from the 1769 Oxford text -- increasingly without Blayney 's variant notes and cross references, and commonly excluding the Apocrypha. One exception to this was a scrupulous original - spelling, page - for - page, and line - for - line reprint of the 1611 edition ( including all chapter headings, marginalia, and original italicization, but with Roman type substituted for the black letter of the original ), published by Oxford in 1833. Another important exception was the 1873 Cambridge Paragraph Bible, thoroughly revised, modernized and re-edited by F.H.A. Scrivener, who for the first time consistently identified the source texts underlying the 1611 translation and its marginal notes. Scrivener, like Blayney, opted to revise the translation where he considered the judgement of the 1611 translators had been faulty. In 2005, Cambridge University Press released its New Cambridge Paragraph Bible with Apocrypha, edited by David Norton, which followed in the spirit of Scrivener 's work, attempting to bring spelling to present - day standards. Norton also innovated with the introduction of quotation marks, while returning to a hypothetical 1611 text, so far as possible, to the wording used by its translators, especially in the light of the re-emphasis on some of their draft documents. This text has been issued in paperback by Penguin books. From the early 19th century the Authorized Version has remained almost completely unchanged -- and since, due to advances in printing technology, it could now be produced in very large editions for mass sale, it established complete dominance in public and ecclesiastical use in the English - speaking Protestant world. Academic debate through that century, however, increasingly reflected concerns about the Authorized Version shared by some scholars : ( a ) that subsequent study in oriental languages suggested a need to revise the translation of the Hebrew Bible -- both in terms of specific vocabulary, and also in distinguishing descriptive terms from proper names ; ( b ) that the Authorized Version was unsatisfactory in translating the same Greek words and phrases into different English, especially where parallel passages are found in the synoptic gospels ; and ( c ) in the light of subsequent ancient manuscript discoveries, the New Testament translation base of the Greek Textus Receptus could no longer be considered to be the best representation of the original text. Responding to these concerns, the Convocation of Canterbury resolved in 1870 to undertake a revision of the text of the Authorized Version, intending to retain the original text `` except where in the judgement of competent scholars such a change is necessary ''. The resulting revision was issued as the Revised Version in 1881 ( New Testament ), 1885 ( Old Testament ) and 1894 ( Apocrypha ) ; but, although it sold widely, the revision did not find popular favour, and it was only reluctantly in 1899 that Convocation approved it for reading in churches. By the early 20th century, editing had been completed in Cambridge 's text, with at least 6 new changes since 1769, and the reversing of at least 30 of the standard Oxford readings. The distinct Cambridge text was printed in the millions, and after the Second World War `` the unchanging steadiness of the KJB was a huge asset. '' The Cambridge edition is preferred by scholars. The Authorized Version maintained its effective dominance throughout the first half of the 20th century. New translations in the second half of the 20th century displaced its 250 years of dominance ( roughly 1700 to 1950 ), but groups do exist -- sometimes termed the King James Only movement -- that distrust anything not in agreement with the Authorized Version. Editorial criticism ( edit ) F.H.A. Scrivener and D. Norton have both written in detail on editorial variations which have occurred through the history of the publishing of the Authorized Version from 1611 to 1769. In the 19th century, there were effectively three main guardians of the text. Norton identified five variations among the Oxford, Cambridge and London ( Eyre and Spottiswoode ) texts of 1857, such as the spelling of `` farther '' or `` further '' at Matthew 26 : 39. In the 20th century, variation between the editions was reduced to comparing the Cambridge to the Oxford. Distinctly identified Cambridge readings included `` or Sheba '' ( Joshua 19 : 2 ), `` sin '' ( 2 Chronicles 33 : 19 ), `` clifts '' ( Job 30 : 6 ), `` vapour '' ( Psalm 148 : 8 ), `` flieth '' ( Nahum 3 : 16 ), `` further '' ( Matthew 26 : 39 ) and a number of other references. In effect the Cambridge was considered the current text in comparison to the Oxford. These are instances where both Oxford and Cambridge have now diverged from Blayney 's 1769 Edition. The distinctions between the Oxford and Cambridge editions have been a major point in the Bible version debate, and a potential theological issue, particularly in regard to the identification of the Pure Cambridge Edition. Cambridge University Press introduced a change at 1 John 5 : 8 in 1985, reversing its longstanding tradition of printing the word `` spirit '' in lower case by using a capital letter `` S ''. A Rev. Hardin of Bedford, Pennsylvania, wrote a letter to Cambridge inquiring about this verse, and subsequently received a reply from Dr. Cooper on June 3, 1985, admitting that it was a `` matter of some embarrassment regarding the lower case ' s ' in Spirit ''. Literary attributes ( edit ) Translation ( edit ) Like Tyndale 's translation and the Geneva Bible, the Authorized Version was translated primarily from Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic texts, although with secondary reference both to the Latin Vulgate, and to more recent scholarly Latin versions ; two books of the Apocrypha were translated from a Latin source. Following the example of the Geneva Bible, words implied but not actually in the original source were distinguished by being printed in distinct type ( albeit inconsistently ), but otherwise the translators explicitly rejected word - for - word equivalence. F.F Bruce gives an example from Romans Chapter 5 : 2 By whom also wee have accesse by faith, into this grace wherein wee stand, and rejoyce in hope of the glory of God. 3 And not onely so, but we glory in tribulations also, knowing that tribulation worketh patience : The English terms `` rejoice '' and `` glory '' stand for the same word in the Greek original. In Tyndale, Geneva and the Bishops ' Bibles, both instances are translated `` rejoice ''. In the Douay -- Rheims New Testament, both are translated `` glory ''. Only in the Authorized Version does the translation vary between the two verses. In obedience to their instructions, the translators provided no marginal interpretation of the text, but in some 8,500 places a marginal note offers an alternative English wording. The majority of these notes offer a more literal rendering of the original ( introduced as `` Heb '', `` Chal '', `` Gr '' or `` Lat '' ), but others indicate a variant reading of the source text ( introduced by `` or '' ). Some of the annotated variants derive from alternative editions in the original languages, or from variant forms quoted in the fathers. More commonly, though, they indicate a difference between the literal original language reading and that in the translators ' preferred recent Latin versions : Tremellius for the Old Testament, Junius for the Apocrypha, and Beza for the New Testament. At thirteen places in the New Testament ( e.g. Luke 17 : 36 and Acts 25 : 6 ) a marginal note records a variant reading found in some Greek manuscript copies ; in almost all cases reproducing a counterpart textual note at the same place in Beza 's editions. A few more extensive notes clarify Biblical names and units of measurement or currency. Modern reprintings rarely reproduce these annotated variants -- although they are to be found in the New Cambridge Paragraph Bible. In addition, there were originally some 9,000 scriptural cross-references, in which one text was related to another. Such cross-references had long been common in Latin Bibles, and most of those in the Authorized Version were copied unaltered from this Latin tradition. Consequently the early editions of the KJV retain many Vulgate verse references -- e.g. in the numbering of the Psalms. At the head of each chapter, the translators provided a short précis of its contents, with verse numbers ; these are rarely included in complete form in modern editions. Also in obedience to their instructions, the translators indicated ' supplied ' words in a different typeface ; but there was no attempt to regularise the instances where this practice had been applied across the different companies ; and especially in the New Testament, it was used much less frequently in the 1611 edition than would later be the case. In one verse, 1 John 2 : 23, an entire clause was printed in roman type ( as it had also been in the Great Bible and Bishop 's Bible ) ; indicating a reading then primarily derived from the Vulgate, albeit one for which the later editions of Beza had provided a Greek text. In the Old Testament the translators render the Tetragrammaton YHWH by `` the LORD '' ( in later editions in small capitals as LORD ), or `` the LORD God '' ( for YHWH Elohim, יהוה אלהים ), except in four places by `` IEHOVAH '' ( Exodus 6 : 3, Psalm 83 : 18, Isaiah 12 : 2 and Isaiah 26 : 4 ) and three times in a combination form. ( Genesis 22 : 14, Exodus 17 : 15, Judges 6 : 24 ) However, if the Tetragrammaton occurs with the Hebrew word adonai ( Lord ) then it is rendered not as the `` Lord LORD '' but as the `` Lord God ''. ( Psalm 73 : 28, etc. ) In later editions as `` Lord GOD '' with `` GOD '' in small capitals indicating to the reader that God 's name appears in the original Hebrew. Old Testament ( edit ) For their Old Testament, the translators used a text originating in the editions of the Hebrew Rabbinic Bible by Daniel Bomberg ( 1524 / 5 ), but adjusted this to conform to the Greek LXX or Latin Vulgate in passages to which Christian tradition had attached a Christological interpretation. For example, the Septuagint reading `` They pierced my hands and my feet '' was used in Psalm 22 : 16 ( vs. the Masoretes ' reading of the Hebrew `` like lions my hands and feet '' ). Otherwise, however, the Authorized Version is closer to the Hebrew tradition than any previous English translation -- especially in making use of the rabbinic commentaries, such as Kimhi, in elucidating obscure passages in the Masoretic Text ; earlier versions had been more likely to adopt LXX or Vulgate readings in such places. Following the practice of the Geneva Bible, the books of 1 Esdras and 2 Esdras in the medieval Vulgate Old Testament were renamed ' Ezra ' and ' Nehemiah ' ; 3 Esdras and 4 Esdras in the Apocrypha being renamed ' 1 Esdras ' and ' 2 Esdras '. New Testament ( edit ) For their New Testament, the translators chiefly used the 1598 and 1588 / 89 Greek editions of Theodore Beza, which also present Beza 's Latin version of the Greek and Stephanus 's edition of the Latin Vulgate. Both of these versions were extensively referred to, as the translators conducted all discussions amongst themselves in Latin. F.H.A. Scrivener identifies 190 readings where the Authorized Version translators depart from Beza 's Greek text, generally in maintaining the wording of the Bishop 's Bible and other earlier English translations. In about half of these instances, the Authorized Version translators appear to follow the earlier 1550 Greek Textus Receptus of Stephanus. For the other half, Scrivener was usually able to find corresponding Greek readings in the editions of Erasmus, or in the Complutensian Polyglot. However, in several dozen readings he notes that no printed Greek text corresponds to the English of the Authorized Version, which in these places derives directly from the Vulgate. For example, at John 10 : 16, the Authorized Version reads `` one fold '' ( as did the Bishops ' Bible, and the 16th - century vernacular versions produced in Geneva ), following the Latin Vulgate `` unum ovile '', whereas Tyndale had agreed more closely with the Greek, `` one flocke '' ( μία ποίμνη ). The Authorized Version New Testament owes much more to the Vulgate than does the Old Testament ; still, at least 80 % of the text is unaltered from Tyndale 's translation. Apocrypha ( edit ) Unlike the rest of the Bible, the translators of the Apocrypha identified their source texts in their marginal notes. From these it can be determined that the books of the Apocrypha were translated from the Septuagint -- primarily, from the Greek Old Testament column in the Antwerp Polyglot -- but with extensive reference to the counterpart Latin Vulgate text, and to Junius 's Latin translation. The translators record references to the Sixtine Septuagint of 1587, which is substantially a printing of the Old Testament text from the Codex Vaticanus Graecus 1209, and also to the 1518 Greek Septuagint edition of Aldus Manutius. They had, however, no Greek texts for 2 Esdras, or for the Prayer of Manasses, and Scrivener found that they here used an unidentified Latin manuscript. Sources ( edit ) The translators appear to have otherwise made no first - hand study of ancient manuscript sources, even those that -- like the Codex Bezae -- would have been readily available to them. In addition to all previous English versions ( including, and contrary to their instructions, the Rheimish New Testament which in their preface they criticized ) ; they made wide and eclectic use of all printed editions in the original languages then available, including the ancient Syriac New Testament printed with an interlinear Latin gloss in the Antwerp Polyglot of 1573. In the preface the translators acknowledge consulting translations and commentaries in Chaldee, Hebrew, Syrian, Greek, Latin, Spanish, French, Italian, and German. The translators took the Bishop 's Bible as their source text, and where they departed from that in favour of another translation, this was most commonly the Geneva Bible. However, the degree to which readings from the Bishop 's Bible survived into final text of the King James Bible varies greatly from company to company, as did the propensity of the King James translators to coin phrases of their own. John Bois 's notes of the General Committee of Review show that they discussed readings derived from a wide variety of versions and patristic sources ; including explicitly both Henry Savile 's 1610 edition of the works of John Chrysostom and the Rheims New Testament, which was the primary source for many of the literal alternative readings provided for the marginal notes. Variations from recent translations ( edit ) Main article : List of major textual variants in the New Testament See also : List of Bible verses not included in modern translations A number of Bible verses in the King James Version of the New Testament are not found in more recent Bible translations, where these are based on modern critical texts. In the early seventeenth century, the source Greek texts of the New Testament used for the production of Protestant bible versions depended mainly on manuscripts of the late Byzantine text - type, and with minor variations contained what became known as the Textus Receptus. With the subsequent identification of much earlier manuscripts, most modern textual scholars value the evidence of manuscripts belonging to the Alexandrian family as better witnesses to the original text of the biblical authors, without giving it, or any family, automatic preference. Style and criticism ( edit ) A primary concern of the translators was to produce an appropriate Bible, dignified and resonant in public reading. Although the Authorized Version 's written style is an important part of its influence on English, research has found only one verse -- Hebrews 13 : 8 -- for which translators debated the wording 's literary merits. While they stated in the preface that they used stylistic variation, finding multiple English words or verbal forms in places where the original language employed repetition, in practice they also did the opposite ; for example, 14 different Hebrew words were translated into the single English word `` prince ''. In a period of rapid linguistic change the translators avoided contemporary idioms, tending instead towards forms that were already slightly archaic, like verily and it came to pass. The pronouns thou / thee and ye / you are consistently used as singular and plural respectively, even though by this time you was often found as the singular in general English usage, especially when addressing a social superior ( as is evidenced, for example, in Shakespeare ). For the possessive of the third person pronoun, the word its, first recorded in the Oxford English Dictionary in 1598, is avoided. The older his is usually employed, as for example at Matthew 5 : 13 : `` if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? '' ; in other places of it, thereof or bare it are found. Another sign of linguistic conservativism is the invariable use of - eth for the third person singular present form of the verb, as at Matthew 2 : 13 : `` the Angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dreame ''. The rival ending - ( e ) s, as found in present - day English, was already widely used by this time ( for example, it predominates over - eth in the plays of Shakespeare and Marlowe ). Furthermore, the translators preferred which to who or whom as the relative pronoun for persons, as in Genesis 13 : 5 : `` And Lot also which went with Abram, had flocks and heards, & tents '' although who ( m ) is also found. The Authorized Version is notably more Latinate than previous English versions, especially the Geneva Bible. This results in part from the academic stylistic preferences of a number of the translators -- several of whom admitted to being more comfortable writing in Latin than in English -- but was also, in part, a consequence of the royal proscription against explanatory notes. Hence, where the Geneva Bible might use a common English word -- and gloss its particular application in a marginal note -- the Authorized Version tends rather to prefer a technical term, frequently in Anglicized Latin. Consequently, although the King had instructed the translators to use the Bishops ' Bible as a base text, the New Testament in particular owes much stylistically to the Catholic Rheims New Testament, whose translators had also been concerned to find English equivalents for Latin terminology. In addition, the translators of the New Testament books transliterate names found in the Old Testament in their Greek forms rather than in the forms closer to the Old Testament Hebrew ( e.g. `` Elias '' and `` Noe '' for `` Elijah '' and `` Noah '', respectively ). While the Authorized Version remains among the most widely sold, modern critical New Testament translations differ substantially from it in a number of passages, primarily because they rely on source manuscripts not then accessible to ( or not then highly regarded by ) early 17th - century Biblical scholarship. In the Old Testament, there are also many differences from modern translations that are based not on manuscript differences, but on a different understanding of Ancient Hebrew vocabulary or grammar by the translators. For example, in modern translations it is clear that Job 28 : 1 -- 11 is referring throughout to mining operations, which is not at all apparent from the text of the Authorized Version. Mistranslations ( edit ) The King James version contains several mistranslations ; especially in the Old Testament where the knowledge of Hebrew and cognate languages was uncertain at the time. Most of these are minor and do not significantly change the meaning compared to the source material. Among the most commonly cited errors is in the Hebrew of Job and Deuteronomy, where רֶאֵם `` Re'em '' with the probable meaning of `` wild - ox, aurochs '', is translated in the KJV as `` unicorn '' ; following in this the Vulgate unicornis and several medieval rabbinic commentators. The translators of the KJV note the alternative rendering, `` rhinocerots '' ( sic ) in the margin at Isaiah 34 : 7. On a similar note Martin Luther 's German translation had also relied on the Vulgate Latin on this point, consistently translating רֶאֵם using the German word for unicorn, `` Einhorn. '' Otherwise, the translators on several occasions mistakenly interpreted a Hebrew descriptive phrase as a proper name ( or vice versa ) ; as at 2 Samuel 1 : 18 where ' the Book of Jasher ' סֵפֶר הַיׇּשׇׁר properly refers not to a work by an author of that name, but should rather be rendered as `` the Book of the Upright. '' Influence ( edit ) Despite royal patronage and encouragement, there was never any overt mandate to use the new translation. It was not until 1661 that the Authorized Version replaced the Bishops Bible in the Epistle and Gospel lessons of the Book of Common Prayer, and it never did replace the older translation in the Psalter. In 1763 The Critical Review complained that `` many false interpretations, ambiguous phrases, obsolete words and indelicate expressions... excite the derision of the scorner ''. Blayney 's 1769 version, with its revised spelling and punctuation, helped change the public perception of the Authorized Version to a masterpiece of the English language. By the 19th century, F.W. Faber could say of the translation, `` It lives on the ear, like music that can never be forgotten, like the sound of church bells, which the convert hardly knows how he can forego. '' The Authorized Version has been called `` the most influential version of the most influential book in the world, in what is now its most influential language '', `` the most important book in English religion and culture '', and `` the most celebrated book in the English - speaking world ''. David Crystal has estimated that it is responsible for 257 idioms in English, examples include feet of clay and reap the whirlwind. Furthermore, prominent atheist figures such as the late Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins have praised the King James Version as being `` a giant step in the maturing of English literature '' and `` a great work of literature '', respectively, with Dawkins then adding, `` A native speaker of English who has never read a word of the King James Bible is verging on the barbarian ''. Although the Authorized Version 's former monopoly in the English - speaking world has diminished -- for example, the Church of England recommends six other versions in addition to it -- it is still the most used translation in the United States, especially as the Scofield Reference Bible for Evangelicals. In addition, in the Orthodox Church in America, the King James Version is used liturgically, and was made `` the ' official ' translation for a whole generation of American Orthodox ''. The later Service Book of the Antiochian Archdiocese, in vogue today, also uses the King James Version. The King James Version is also one of the versions authorized to be used in the services of the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Communion, as it is the historical Bible of this Church. Copyright status ( edit ) The Authorized Version is in the public domain in most of the world. However, in the United Kingdom, the right to print, publish and distribute it is a Royal prerogative and the Crown licenses publishers to reproduce it under letters patent. In England, Wales and Northern Ireland the letters patent are held by the Queen 's Printer, and in Scotland by the Scottish Bible Board. The office of Queen 's Printer has been associated with the right to reproduce the Bible for centuries, the earliest known reference coming in 1577. In the 18th century all surviving interests in the monopoly were bought out by John Baskett. The Baskett rights descended through a number of printers and, in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, the Queen 's Printer is now Cambridge University Press, who inherited the right when they took over the firm of Eyre & Spottiswoode in 1990. Other royal charters of similar antiquity grant Cambridge University Press and Oxford University Press the right to produce the Authorized Version independently of the Queen 's Printer. In Scotland the Authorized Version is published by Collins under licence from the Scottish Bible Board. The terms of the letters patent prohibit any other than the holders, or those authorized by the holders, from printing, publishing or importing the Authorized Version into the United Kingdom. The protection that the Authorized Version, and also the Book of Common Prayer, enjoy is the last remnant of the time when the Crown held a monopoly over all printing and publishing in the United Kingdom. Almost all provisions granting copyright in perpetuity were abolished by the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988, but because the Authorized Version is protected by royal prerogative rather than copyright, it will remain protected, as specified in CDPA s171 ( 1 ) ( b ). Permission ( edit ) Cambridge University Press permits the reproduction of at most 500 verses for `` liturgical and non-commercial educational use '' if their prescribed acknowledgement is included, the quoted verses do not exceed 25 % of the publication quoting them and do not include a complete Bible book. For use beyond this, the Press is willing to consider permission requested on a case - by - case basis and in 2011 a spokesman said the Press generally does not charge a fee but tries to ensure that a reputable source text is used. Apocrypha ( edit ) Further information on the Apocrypha : Biblical canon Translations of the books of the Biblical apocrypha were necessary for the King James version, as readings from these books were included in the daily Old Testament lectionary of the Book of Common Prayer. Protestant Bibles in the 16th century included the books of the Apocrypha -- generally, following the Luther Bible, in a separate section between the Old and New Testaments to indicate they were not considered part of the Old Testament text -- and there is evidence that these were widely read as popular literature, especially in Puritan circles ; The Apocrypha of the King James Version has the same 14 books as had been found in the Apocrypha of the Bishop 's Bible ; however, following the practice of the Geneva Bible, the first two books of the Apocrypha were renamed 1 Esdras and 2 Esdras, as compared to the names in the Thirty - nine Articles, with the corresponding Old Testament books being renamed Ezra and Nehemiah. Starting in 1630, volumes of the Geneva Bible were occasionally bound with the pages of the Apocrypha section excluded. In 1644 the Long Parliament forbade the reading of the Apocrypha in Church and in 1666 the first editions of the King James Bible without the Apocrypha were bound. The standardization of the text of the Authorized Version after 1769 together with the technological development of stereotype printing made it possible to produce Bibles in large print - runs at very low unit prices. For commercial and charitable publishers, editions of the Authorized Version without the Apocrypha reduced the cost, while having increased market appeal to non-Anglican Protestant readers. With the rise of the Bible societies, most editions have omitted the whole section of Apocryphal books. The British and Foreign Bible Society withdrew subsidies for bible printing and dissemination in 1826, under the following resolution : That the funds of the Society be applied to the printing and circulation of the Canonical Books of Scripture, to the exclusion of those Books and parts of Books usually termed Apocryphal ; The American Bible Society adopted a similar policy. Both societies eventually reversed these policies in light of 20th - century ecumenical efforts on translations, the ABS doing so in 1964 and the BFBS in 1966. King James only movement ( edit ) Main article : King James Only movement The King James Only movement advocates the superiority of the King James Version over all other English translations. Most adherents of the movement believe that the Textus Receptus is very close, if not identical, to the original autographs thereby making it the ideal Greek source for the translation. They argue that most modern English translations are based on a corrupted New Testament text that relies primarily on the Codex Sinaiticus and Codex Vaticanus manuscripts.

Unfortunately, both Orloff and Hapgood used a different version for the Psalms ( that of the Anglican Book of Common Prayer ), thereby giving us two translations in the same services. This was rectified in 1949 by the Service Book of the Antiochian Archdiocese, which replaced the Prayer Book psalms with those from the King James Version and made some other corrections. This beautiful translation, reproducing the stately prose of 1611, was the work of Fathers Upson and Nicholas.

It stars Meryl Streep as a successful bakery owner and single mother of three who starts a secret affair with her former husband, played by Alec Baldwin, ten years after their divorce -- only to find herself drawn to another man : her architect Adam ( portrayed by Steve Martin ). The film also features supporting performances by Lake Bell, Hunter Parrish, Zoe Kazan, John Krasinski, Mary Kay Place, Robert Curtis Brown and Rita Wilson, among others. The film was met with average reviews from critics, who praised the acting of its ensemble cast but declared its story rather predictable. It became another commercial hit for Meyers, however, upon its Christmas Day 2009 opening release in the United States and Canada. It played well through the holidays and in to January 2010, ultimately closing on April 1 with $112.7 million. Worldwide, It 's Complicated eventually grossed $219.1 million, and surpassed The Holiday ( 2006 ) to become Meyer 's third highest - grossing project to date. For their performances, the cast was awarded a National Board of Review of Motion Pictures Award for Best Ensemble Cast the same year. In addition, the film was nominated at both the Critics ' Choice Awards and the Satellite Awards and garnered Meyers two Golden Globe nominations, including Best Motion Picture -- Musical or Comedy and Best Screenplay. Streep and Baldwin each were individually recognized with Best Actress and Best Supporting Actor nominations at the Golden Globe and BAFTA award ceremonies, respectively.

They had three children together, two girls and a boy, who are grown. Jake, who was cheating on Jane, married the much younger Agness ( Lake Bell ). Jane and Jake attend their son Luke 's graduation from college in New York City. After a dinner together, the two begin an affair, which continues in Santa Barbara. Jane is torn about the affair ; Jake is not. While Agness has Jake scheduled for regular sessions at a fertility clinic, Jake is secretly taking medication to increase sperm count for fertility, a side effect of which can cause dizziness. After one of his sessions he has a lunchtime rendezvous with Jane at a hotel. Jake collapses in the hotel room and a doctor is called. The doctor speculates that the reason for Jake 's distress may be the medication and says he should stop taking it. Jake and Jane 's children know nothing of the affair, but Harley ( John Krasinski ), who is engaged to their daughter Lauren, spots the pair and the doctor in the hotel, but keeps silent. Adam ( Steve Martin ) is an architect hired to remodel Jane 's home. Still healing from a divorce of his own, he begins to fall in love with Jane. On the night of Luke 's graduation party in Santa Barbara, Jane invites Adam to the party. She is stoned when he picks her up because she has smoked a marijuana joint that Jake had given her earlier. Before going into the party, Adam smokes some of the joint with Jane. Once inside, they are laughing and happily high, Jake becomes jealous observing them, and after pressing Jane, smokes some with her also. Agness then observes Jake and Jane dancing together and realizes they are having an affair. When they leave the party, Adam asks Jane if they could have something to eat. Jane takes him to her bakery and they make chocolate croissants together. Jake and Agness separate, although it is not clear who leaves whom. Eventually by a webcam in Jane 's bedroom, Adam sees Jake naked and realizes that the two have been having an affair. Adam tells Jane he can not continue seeing her because it will only lead to heartbreak. Jane 's kids also find out, and they are not happy about Mom and Dad getting together again because they are still recovering from the divorce. Jane tells them she is not getting back with Jake. Jane and Jake talk and end their affair on amicable terms. The film ends with Adam at Jane 's house ready to commence the remodeling. Before the credits roll, Jane and Adam are seen laughing about the chocolate croissants while walking into her house. Cast ( edit ) Meryl Streep as Jane Adler, a successful bakery owner.

Production ( edit ) Casting ( edit ) It 's Complicated marked Steve Martin 's third collaboration with director Nancy Meyers. In May 2008, Nancy Meyers agreed to a project for Universal Studios that she would write and direct, to be co-produced with Scott Rudin. The project was referred to as The Untitled Nancy Meyers Project during its inception and early production. Establishing commitments from the principals began in 2008, with Meryl Streep and Alec Baldwin entering discussions in August, and Steve Martin joining the cast in October. Casting continued through 2009, with Zoe Kazan, Lake Bell, and Hunter Parrish joining in January, John Krasinski in February, Rita Wilson in March, and Caitlin Fitzgerald in June. Filming ( edit ) While the majority of the film is set in Santa Barbara, California, most of the filming -- including nearly all of the interiors -- took place in New York City. Principal photography began on February 18, 2009 at the Broadway Stages in the Brooklyn borough, where the interior scenes of Jane 's house were shot. Several other key locations were used during the first portion of filming in New York, including Picnic House, a large, studio - sized structure in Brooklyn 's Prospect Park, where Jane 's bakery was built inside ; the facilities at Sarabeth 's Bakery in the Chelsea Market ; and a commercial loft building in New York 's Chelsea district, where scenes at Adam 's architecture office were filmed in. As Martin was soon to embark on a concert tour to promote The Crow : New Songs for the Five - String Banjo ( 2009 ), his schedule required the team to complete shooting his scenes during the first two months of filming. Though set in Santa Barbara, the film was primarily shot in New York City. In April 2009, the company relocated to Los Angeles, where cast and crew started filming scenes taking place outside Jane 's house, for which a ranch house located in Thousand Oaks in the north of Los Angeles was used. In mid-April, the crew spent a few days filming exteriors in Montecito and Santa Barbara -- just days before wildfires took a heavy toll on the area. Additional scenes were taken in front of numerous downtown landmarks, including the Santa Barbara County Courthouse and the El Paseo section. Afterwards, the team returned to Los Angeles for completion of the scenes at Jane 's house and for the filming at the Bel - Air Bay Club in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood. In early May, principal photography returned to Brooklyn for completion. For Luke 's graduation scenes, shooting took place at St. John 's University in Queens and on Park Avenue in Manhattan. Several different locations stood in for the fictional Park Regent hotel : While a Donald Trump - owned residence building on Park Avenue and 59th Street was used for exterior shots, the lobby and Jane 's hotel room were in the JW Marriott Essex House. The hotel bar was the interior of a restaurant on Tenth Avenue. Filming eventually completed in August 2009. The sets were easy to design. Most scenes take place in the protagonist 's home and interior courtyard, and as such the architectural details had to be fastidiously worked out, but the rooms were kept bare to reflect the character 's functional tastes and limited budget. There are relatively few decorations, just `` a bunch of thrift - store things haphazardly thrown together '', in the words of production designer Jon Hutman. The building itself is a traditional 1920s Spanish - ranch - style adobe - mud house which `` epitomised the Santa Barbara area. '' Reception ( edit ) Critical response ( edit ) It 's Complicated received mixed reviews from film critics. Review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes gave the film a rating of 57 % based on 172 reviews, with an average score of 5.8 / 10. According to the website, the critical consensus is : `` Despite fine work by an appealing cast, It 's Complicated is predictable romantic comedy fare, going for broad laughs instead of subtlety and nuance. '' Another review aggregator, Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average, gave the film a score of 57 out of 100, based on 30 critics, indicating `` mixed or average reviews ''. Baldwin and Streep received generally positive reviews from critics for their performances in It 's Complicated. Wesley Morris of the Boston Globe called the film `` the most emotionally sophisticated of all Meyers 's fantasies '' and praised the acting performances in it. He noted that the film felt like `` a made - for - Meryl film ( in which ) Streep deploys all her best moves (... ) in movie star mode, and she 's irresistible, '' and declared Baldwin a worthy match to her, writing : `` It 's Complicated unleashes an unabashedly, desperately romantic side of Baldwin that we have n't seen before. He does n't steal this movie so much as grant all Streep 's fluttering and twirling and hand - fanning an exuberant counterweight. '' In his review for the Washington Post, Michael O'Sullivan called the film a `` very grown - up -- and very funny -- love story ( which ) manages to be both light on its feet and heavy enough to deliver something of a message. '' He concluded : `` Food Network porn, hot, middle - age sex and a happy, if slightly bittersweet, ending. For a particular audience -- but not just for that audience -- what 's not to love? '' Peter Travers of Rolling Stone called the film an `` unapologetic chick flick '' and wrote that `` you do n't have to feel guilty for lapping up this froth. Just do n't expect nourishment. '' He rated the film two and a half stars out of four. Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun - Times also gave it the same rating and called the film a prime example of Meyer 's established `` cottage industry of movies about romantically inclined middle - aged people. '' He found praise for the cast of both Baldwin and Streep, the latter of which he felt `` inspires as so often our belief that she 's good at everything she does, '' but noted that while the film contained `` funny stuff '' and likeable characters, It 's Complicated was more of `` a rearrangement of the goods in Nancy Meyers ' bakery, and some of them belong on the day - old shelf. '' Writing for Time magazine, Mary Pols complimented Streep 's `` radiant, funny and endearingly vulnerable '' performance and Meyers ' `` clever and fresh (... ) intent in showing the reality of the fantasy coming true. '' She, however, felt that It 's Complicated `` is positioned more as a which - guy - will - she - choose story '' which misses `` dramatic tension to feed that plot line. '' Lisa Schwarzbaum of Entertainment Weekly gave the film a B - rating and declared the film a `` middle - aged porn, the specialty of Meyers, who also set ladies and interior decorators drooling over homes and gardens in 2006 's The Holiday. '' Lou Lumenick from New York Post stated that it `` coulda had more laughs, but in the spirit of seasonal good cheer, let me predict that the best - chocolate - croissant - making montage in Hollywood history is going to help this one clean up at the box office. '' He found that Martin seemed `` uncomfortable in his thankless role, '' while `` Streep and Baldwin, though, seem to be thoroughly enjoying themselves '' and compared the film to Noël Coward 's classic farce Private Lives. Salon.com writer Stephanie Zacharek dismissed the film as `` another missive from romantic - comedy hell, '' and felt that `` Alec Baldwin -- in his undershorts, no less -- saves Nancy Meyers ' latest midlife whingefest. '' Box office ( edit ) Released on December 25, 2009 in the United States, the film opened in 2,887 locations and placed fourth on the US box office after its first weekend. It charted behind Avatar, Sherlock Holmes, and Alvin and the Chipmunks : The Squeakquel with $22,100,820, scoring a $7,655 average income per theatre. It played well through the holidays and into January 2010, ultimately closing on April 1 with $112.7 million in North America and a total of $214,727,200 worldwide.

Establishing commitments from the principals began in 2008, with Meryl Streep and Alec Baldwin entering discussions in August, and Steve Martin joining the cast in October. Casting continued through 2009, with Zoe Kazan, Lake Bell, and Hunter Parrish joining in January, John Krasinski in February, Rita Wilson in March, and Caitlin Fitzgerald in June. Filming ( edit ) While the majority of the film is set in Santa Barbara, California, most of the filming -- including nearly all of the interiors -- took place in New York City. Principal photography began on February 18, 2009 at the Broadway Stages in the Brooklyn borough, where the interior scenes of Jane 's house were shot. Several other key locations were used during the first portion of filming in New York, including Picnic House, a large, studio - sized structure in Brooklyn 's Prospect Park, where Jane 's bakery was built inside ; the facilities at Sarabeth 's Bakery in the Chelsea Market ; and a commercial loft building in New York 's Chelsea district, where scenes at Adam 's architecture office were filmed in.

It is named after the engineer Gustave Eiffel, whose company designed and built the tower. Constructed from 1887 -- 1889 as the entrance to the 1889 World 's Fair, it was initially criticized by some of France 's leading artists and intellectuals for its design, but it has become a global cultural icon of France and one of the most recognisable structures in the world. The Eiffel Tower is the most - visited paid monument in the world ; 6.91 million people ascended it in 2015. The tower is 324 metres ( 1,063 ft ) tall, about the same height as an 81 - storey building, and the tallest structure in Paris. Its base is square, measuring 125 metres ( 410 ft ) on each side. During its construction, the Eiffel Tower surpassed the Washington Monument to become the tallest man - made structure in the world, a title it held for 41 years until the Chrysler Building in New York City was finished in 1930. Due to the addition of a broadcasting aerial at the top of the tower in 1957, it is now taller than the Chrysler Building by 5.2 metres ( 17 ft ). Excluding transmitters, the Eiffel Tower is the second tallest free - standing structure in France after the Millau Viaduct. The tower has three levels for visitors, with restaurants on the first and second levels. The top level 's upper platform is 276 m ( 906 ft ) above the ground -- the highest observation deck accessible to the public in the European Union. Tickets can be purchased to ascend by stairs or lift to the first and second levels. The climb from ground level to the first level is over 300 steps, as is the climb from the first level to the second. Although there is a staircase to the top level, it is usually accessible only by lift.

It was envisioned after discussion about a suitable centrepiece for the proposed 1889 Exposition Universelle, a world 's fair to celebrate the centennial of the French Revolution. Eiffel openly acknowledged that inspiration for a tower came from the Latting Observatory built in New York City in 1853. In May 1884, working at home, Koechlin made a sketch of their idea, described by him as `` a great pylon, consisting of four lattice girders standing apart at the base and coming together at the top, joined together by metal trusses at regular intervals ''. Eiffel initially showed little enthusiasm, but he did approve further study, and the two engineers then asked Stephen Sauvestre, the head of company 's architectural department, to contribute to the design. Sauvestre added decorative arches to the base of the tower, a glass pavilion to the first level, and other embellishments. First drawing of the Eiffel Tower by Maurice Koechlin including size comparison with other Parisian landmarks such as Notre Dame de Paris, the Statue of Liberty and the Vendôme Column The new version gained Eiffel 's support : he bought the rights to the patent on the design which Koechlin, Nougier, and Sauvestre had taken out, and the design was exhibited at the Exhibition of Decorative Arts in the autumn of 1884 under the company name. On 30 March 1885, Eiffel presented his plans to the Société des Ingénieurs Civils ; after discussing the technical problems and emphasising the practical uses of the tower, he finished his talk by saying the tower would symbolise, Not only the art of the modern engineer, but also the century of Industry and Science in which we are living, and for which the way was prepared by the great scientific movement of the eighteenth century and by the Revolution of 1789, to which this monument will be built as an expression of France 's gratitude. Little progress was made until 1886, when Jules Grévy was re-elected as president of France and Édouard Lockroy was appointed as minister for trade. A budget for the exposition was passed and, on 1 May, Lockroy announced an alteration to the terms of the open competition being held for a centrepiece to the exposition, which effectively made the selection of Eiffel 's design a foregone conclusion, as entries had to include a study for a 300 m ( 980 ft ) four - sided metal tower on the Champ de Mars. ( A 300 - meter tower was then considered a herculean engineering effort ). On 12 May, a commission was set up to examine Eiffel 's scheme and its rivals, which, a month later, decided that all the proposals except Eiffel 's were either impractical or lacking in details. After some debate about the exact location of the tower, a contract was signed on 8 January 1887. This was signed by Eiffel acting in his own capacity rather than as the representative of his company, and granted him 1.5 million francs toward the construction costs : less than a quarter of the estimated 6.5 million francs. Eiffel was to receive all income from the commercial exploitation of the tower during the exhibition and for the next 20 years. He later established a separate company to manage the tower, putting up half the necessary capital himself. Artists ' protest Caricature of Gustave Eiffel comparing the Eiffel tower to the Pyramids The proposed tower had been a subject of controversy, drawing criticism from those who did not believe it was feasible and those who objected on artistic grounds. These objections were an expression of a long - standing debate in France about the relationship between architecture and engineering. It came to a head as work began at the Champ de Mars : a `` Committee of Three Hundred '' ( one member for each metre of the tower 's height ) was formed, led by the prominent architect Charles Garnier and including some of the most important figures of the arts, such as Adolphe Bouguereau, Guy de Maupassant, Charles Gounod and Jules Massenet. A petition called `` Artists against the Eiffel Tower '' was sent to the Minister of Works and Commissioner for the Exposition, Charles Alphand, and it was published by Le Temps on 14 February 1887 : We, writers, painters, sculptors, architects and passionate devotees of the hitherto untouched beauty of Paris, protest with all our strength, with all our indignation in the name of slighted French taste, against the erection... of this useless and monstrous Eiffel Tower... To bring our arguments home, imagine for a moment a giddy, ridiculous tower dominating Paris like a gigantic black smokestack, crushing under its barbaric bulk Notre Dame, the Tour Saint - Jacques, the Louvre, the Dome of les Invalides, the Arc de Triomphe, all of our humiliated monuments will disappear in this ghastly dream. And for twenty years... we shall see stretching like a blot of ink the hateful shadow of the hateful column of bolted sheet metal. A calligram by Guillaume Apollinaire Gustave Eiffel responded to these criticisms by comparing his tower to the Egyptian pyramids : `` My tower will be the tallest edifice ever erected by man. Will it not also be grandiose in its way? And why would something admirable in Egypt become hideous and ridiculous in Paris? '' These criticisms were also dealt with by Édouard Lockroy in a letter of support written to Alphand, ironically saying, `` Judging by the stately swell of the rhythms, the beauty of the metaphors, the elegance of its delicate and precise style, one can tell this protest is the result of collaboration of the most famous writers and poets of our time '', and he explained that the protest was irrelevant since the project had been decided upon months before, and construction on the tower was already under way. Indeed, Garnier was a member of the Tower Commission that had examined the various proposals, and had raised no objection. Eiffel was similarly unworried, pointing out to a journalist that it was premature to judge the effect of the tower solely on the basis of the drawings, that the Champ de Mars was distant enough from the monuments mentioned in the protest for there to be little risk of the tower overwhelming them, and putting the aesthetic argument for the tower : `` Do not the laws of natural forces always conform to the secret laws of harmony? '' Some of the protesters changed their minds when the tower was built ; others remained unconvinced. Guy de Maupassant supposedly ate lunch in the tower 's restaurant every day because it was the one place in Paris where the tower was not visible. By 1918, it had become a symbol of Paris and of France after Guillaume Apollinaire wrote a nationalist poem in the shape of the tower ( a calligram ) to express his feelings about the war against Germany. Today, it is widely considered to be a remarkable piece of structural art, and is often featured in films and literature. Construction Foundations of the Eiffel Tower Work on the foundations started on 28 January 1887. Those for the east and south legs were straightforward, with each leg resting on four 2 m ( 6.6 ft ) concrete slabs, one for each of the principal girders of each leg. The west and north legs, being closer to the river Seine, were more complicated : each slab needed two piles installed by using compressed - air caissons 15 m ( 49 ft ) long and 6 m ( 20 ft ) in diameter driven to a depth of 22 m ( 72 ft ) to support the concrete slabs, which were 6 m ( 20 ft ) thick. Each of these slabs supported a block of limestone with an inclined top to bear a supporting shoe for the ironwork. Each shoe was anchored to the stonework by a pair of bolts 10 cm ( 4 in ) in diameter and 7.5 m ( 25 ft ) long. The foundations were completed on 30 June, and the erection of the ironwork began. The visible work on - site was complemented by the enormous amount of exacting preparatory work that took place behind the scenes : the drawing office produced 1,700 general drawings and 3,629 detailed drawings of the 18,038 different parts needed. The task of drawing the components was complicated by the complex angles involved in the design and the degree of precision required : the position of rivet holes was specified to within 0.1 mm ( 0.0039 in ) and angles worked out to one second of arc. The finished components, some already riveted together into sub-assemblies, arrived on horse - drawn carts from a factory in the nearby Parisian suburb of Levallois - Perret and were first bolted together, with the bolts being replaced with rivets as construction progressed. No drilling or shaping was done on site : if any part did not fit, it was sent back to the factory for alteration. In all, 18,038 pieces were joined together using 2.5 million rivets. At first the legs were constructed as cantilevers, but about halfway to the first level, construction was paused in order to create a substantial timber scaffold. This renewed concerns about the structural integrity of the tower, and sensational headlines such as `` Eiffel Suicide! '' and `` Gustave Eiffel Has Gone Mad : He Has Been Confined in an Asylum '' appeared in the tabloid press. At this stage, a small `` creeper '' crane designed to move up the tower was installed in each leg. They made use of the guides for the lifts which were to be fitted in the four legs. The critical stage of joining the legs at the first level was completed by the end of March 1888. Although the metalwork had been prepared with the utmost attention to detail, provision had been made to carry out small adjustments in order to precisely align the legs ; hydraulic jacks were fitted to the shoes at the base of each leg, capable of exerting a force of 800 tonnes, and the legs were intentionally constructed at a slightly steeper angle than necessary, being supported by sandboxes on the scaffold. Although construction involved 300 on - site employees, only one person died, due to Eiffel 's safety precautions and the use of movable gangways, guardrails and screens. The start of the erection of the metalwork. 7 December 1887 : Construction of the legs with scaffolding. 20 March 1888 : Completion of the first level. 15 May 1888 : Start of construction on the second stage. 21 August 1888 : Completion of the second level. 26 December 1888 : Construction of the upper stage. 15 March 1889 : Construction of the cupola. Lifts The Roux, Combaluzier & Lepape lifts during construction. Note the drive sprockets and chain in the foreground Equipping the tower with adequate and safe passenger lifts was a major concern of the government commission overseeing the Exposition. Although some visitors could be expected to climb to the first level, or even the second, lifts clearly had to be the main means of ascent. Constructing lifts to reach the first level was relatively straightforward : the legs were wide enough at the bottom and so nearly straight that they could contain a straight track, and a contract was given to the French company Roux, Combaluzier & Lepape for two lifts to be fitted in the east and west legs. Roux, Combaluzier & Lepape used a pair of endless chains with rigid, articulated links to which the car was attached. Lead weights on some links of the upper or return sections of the chains counterbalanced most of the car 's weight. The car was pushed up from below, not pulled up from above : to prevent the chain buckling, it was enclosed in a conduit. At the bottom of the run, the chains passed around 3.9 m ( 12 ft 10 in ) diameter sprockets. Smaller sprockets at the top guided the chains. The Otis lifts originally fitted in the north and south legs Installing lifts to the second level was more of a challenge because a straight track was impossible. No French company wanted to undertake the work. The European branch of Otis Brothers & Company submitted a proposal but this was rejected : the fair 's charter ruled out the use of any foreign material in the construction of the tower. The deadline for bids was extended but still no French companies put themselves forward, and eventually the contract was given to Otis in July 1887. Otis were confident they would eventually be given the contract and had already started creating designs. The car was divided into two superimposed compartments, each holding 25 passengers, with the lift operator occupying an exterior platform on the first level. Motive power was provided by an inclined hydraulic ram 12.67 m ( 41 ft 7 in ) long and 96.5 cm ( 38.0 in ) in diameter in the tower leg with a stroke of 10.83 m ( 35 ft 6 in ) : this moved a carriage carrying six sheaves. Five fixed sheaves were mounted higher up the leg, producing an arrangement similar to a block and tackle but acting in reverse, multiplying the stroke of the piston rather than the force generated. The hydraulic pressure in the driving cylinder was produced by a large open reservoir on the second level. After being exhausted from the cylinder, the water was pumped back up to the reservoir by two pumps in the machinery room at the base of the south leg. This reservoir also provided power to the lifts to the first level. The original lifts for the journey between the second and third levels were supplied by Léon Edoux. A pair of 81 m ( 266 ft ) hydraulic rams were mounted on the second level, reaching nearly halfway up to the third level. One lift car was mounted on top of these rams : cables ran from the top of this car up to sheaves on the third level and back down to a second car. Each car only travelled half the distance between the second and third levels and passengers were required to change lifts halfway by means of a short gangway. The 10 - ton cars each held 65 passengers. Inauguration and the 1889 exposition General view of the Exposition Universelle The main structural work was completed at the end of March 1889 and, on 31 March, Eiffel celebrated by leading a group of government officials, accompanied by representatives of the press, to the top of the tower. Because the lifts were not yet in operation, the ascent was made by foot, and took over an hour, with Eiffel stopping frequently to explain various features. Most of the party chose to stop at the lower levels, but a few, including the structural engineer, Émile Nouguier, the head of construction, Jean Compagnon, the President of the City Council, and reporters from Le Figaro and Le Monde Illustré, completed the ascent. At 2 : 35 pm, Eiffel hoisted a large Tricolour to the accompaniment of a 25 - gun salute fired at the first level. There was still work to be done, particularly on the lifts and facilities, and the tower was not opened to the public until nine days after the opening of the exposition on 6 May ; even then, the lifts had not been completed. The tower was an instant success with the public, and nearly 30,000 visitors made the 1,710 - step climb to the top before the lifts entered service on 26 May. Tickets cost 2 francs for the first level, 3 for the second, and 5 for the top, with half - price admission on Sundays, and by the end of the exhibition there had been 1,896,987 visitors. After dark, the tower was lit by hundreds of gas lamps, and a beacon sent out three beams of red, white and blue light. Two searchlights mounted on a circular rail were used to illuminate various buildings of the exposition. The daily opening and closing of the exposition were announced by a cannon at the top. Illumination of the tower at night during the exposition On the second level, the French newspaper Le Figaro had an office and a printing press, where a special souvenir edition, Le Figaro de la Tour, was made. There was also a pâtisserie. At the top, there was a post office where visitors could send letters and postcards as a memento of their visit. Graffitists were also catered for : sheets of paper were mounted on the walls each day for visitors to record their impressions of the tower. Gustave Eiffel described some of the responses as vraiment curieuse ( `` truly curious '' ). Famous visitors to the tower included the Prince of Wales, Sarah Bernhardt, `` Buffalo Bill '' Cody ( his Wild West show was an attraction at the exposition ) and Thomas Edison. Eiffel invited Edison to his private apartment at the top of the tower, where Edison presented him with one of his phonographs, a new invention and one of the many highlights of the exposition. Edison signed the guestbook with this message : To M Eiffel the Engineer the brave builder of so gigantic and original specimen of modern Engineering from one who has the greatest respect and admiration for all Engineers including the Great Engineer the Bon Dieu, Thomas Edison. Eiffel had a permit for the tower to stand for 20 years. It was to be dismantled in 1909, when its ownership would revert to the City of Paris. The City had planned to tear it down ( part of the original contest rules for designing a tower was that it should be easy to dismantle ) but as the tower proved to be valuable for communication purposes, it was allowed to remain after the expiry of the permit. Eiffel made use of his apartment at the top of the tower to carry out meteorological observations, and also used the tower to perform experiments on the action of air resistance on falling bodies. Subsequent events Play media Panoramic view during ascent of the Eiffel Tower by the Lumière brothers, 1898 Play media Franz Reichelt 's preparations and jump from the Eiffel Tower Tour Eiffel, 1926, one of the Eiffel Tower series by Robert Delaunay For the 1900 Exposition Universelle, the lifts in the east and west legs were replaced by lifts running as far as the second level constructed by the French firm Fives - Lille. These had a compensating mechanism to keep the floor level as the angle of ascent changed at the first level, and were driven by a similar hydraulic mechanism to the Otis lifts, although this was situated at the base of the tower. Hydraulic pressure was provided by pressurised accumulators located near this mechanism. At the same time the lift in the north pillar was removed and replaced by a staircase to the first level. The layout of both first and second levels was modified, with the space available for visitors on the second level. The original lift in the south pillar was removed 13 years later. On 19 October 1901, Alberto Santos - Dumont, flying his No. 6 airship, won a 100,000 - franc prize offered by Henri Deutsch de la Meurthe for the first person to make a flight from St. Cloud to the Eiffel Tower and back in less than half an hour. Many innovations took place at the Eiffel Tower in the early 20th century. In 1910, Father Theodor Wulf measured radiant energy at the top and bottom of the tower. He found more at the top than expected, incidentally discovering what are known today as cosmic rays. Just two years later, on 4 February 1912, Austrian tailor Franz Reichelt died after jumping from the first level of the tower ( a height of 57 metres ) to demonstrate his parachute design. In 1914, at the outbreak of World War I, a radio transmitter located in the tower jammed German radio communications, seriously hindering their advance on Paris and contributing to the Allied victory at the First Battle of the Marne. From 1925 to 1934, illuminated signs for Citroën adorned three of the tower 's sides, making it the tallest advertising space in the world at the time. In April 1935, the tower was used to make experimental low - resolution television transmissions, using a shortwave transmitter of 200 watts power. On 17 November, an improved 180 - line transmitter was installed. On two separate but related occasions in 1925, the con artist Victor Lustig `` sold '' the tower for scrap metal. A year later, in February 1926, pilot Leon Collet was killed trying to fly under the tower. His aircraft became entangled in an aerial belonging to a wireless station. A bust of Gustave Eiffel by Antoine Bourdelle was unveiled at the base of the north leg on 2 May 1929. In 1930, the tower lost the title of the world 's tallest structure when the Chrysler Building in New York City was completed. In 1938, the decorative arcade around the first level was removed. American soldiers watch the French flag flying on the Eiffel Tower, c. 25 August 1944 Upon the German occupation of Paris in 1940, the lift cables were cut by the French. The tower was closed to the public during the occupation and the lifts were not repaired until 1946. In 1940, German soldiers had to climb the tower to hoist a swastika - centered Reichskriegsflagge, but the flag was so large it blew away just a few hours later, and was replaced by a smaller one. When visiting Paris, Hitler chose to stay on the ground. When the Allies were nearing Paris in August 1944, Hitler ordered General Dietrich von Choltitz, the military governor of Paris, to demolish the tower along with the rest of the city. Von Choltitz disobeyed the order. On 25 June, before the Germans had been driven out of Paris, the German flag was replaced with a Tricolour by two men from the French Naval Museum, who narrowly beat three men led by Lucien Sarniguet, who had lowered the Tricolour on 13 June 1940 when Paris fell to the Germans. A fire started in the television transmitter on 3 January 1956, damaging the top of the tower. Repairs took a year, and in 1957, the present radio aerial was added to the top. In 1964, the Eiffel Tower was officially declared to be a historical monument by the Minister of Cultural Affairs, André Malraux. A year later, an additional lift system was installed in the north pillar. According to interviews, in 1967, Montreal Mayor Jean Drapeau negotiated a secret agreement with Charles de Gaulle for the tower to be dismantled and temporarily relocated to Montreal to serve as a landmark and tourist attraction during Expo 67. The plan was allegedly vetoed by the company operating the tower out of fear that the French government could refuse permission for the tower to be restored in its original location. Base of the Eiffel Tower In 1982, the original lifts between the second and third levels were replaced after 97 years in service. These had been closed to the public between November and March because the water in the hydraulic drive tended to freeze. The new cars operate in pairs, with one counterbalancing the other, and perform the journey in one stage, reducing the journey time from eight minutes to less than two minutes. At the same time, two new emergency staircases were installed, replacing the original spiral staircases. In 1983, the south pillar was fitted with an electrically driven Otis lift to serve the Jules Verne restaurant. The Fives - Lille lifts in the east and west legs, fitted in 1899, were extensively refurbished in 1986. The cars were replaced, and a computer system was installed to completely automate the lifts. The motive power was moved from the water hydraulic system to a new electrically driven oil - filled hydraulic system, and the original water hydraulics were retained solely as a counterbalance system. A service lift was added to the south pillar for moving small loads and maintenance personnel three years later. Robert Moriarty flew a Beechcraft Bonanza under the tower on 31 March 1984. In 1987, A.J. Hackett made one of his first bungee jumps from the top of the Eiffel Tower, using a special cord he had helped develop. Hackett was arrested by the police. On 27 October 1991, Thierry Devaux, along with mountain guide Hervé Calvayrac, performed a series of acrobatic figures while bungee jumping from the second floor of the tower. Facing the Champ de Mars, Devaux used an electric winch between figures to go back up to the second floor. When firemen arrived, he stopped after the sixth jump. The tower is the focal point of New Year 's Eve and Bastille Day ( 14 July ) celebrations in Paris. For its `` Countdown to the Year 2000 '' celebration on 31 December 1999, flashing lights and high - powered searchlights were installed on the tower. Fireworks were set off all over it. An exhibition above a cafeteria on the first floor commemorates this event. The searchlights on top of the tower made it a beacon in Paris 's night sky, and 20,000 flashing bulbs gave the tower a sparkly appearance for five minutes every hour on the hour. The lights sparkled blue for several nights to herald the new millennium On 31 December 2000. The sparkly lighting continued for 18 months until July 2001. The sparkling lights were turned on again on 21 June 2003, and the display was planned to last for 10 years before they needed replacing. The tower received its 200,000,000 th guest on 28 November 2002. The tower has operated at its maximum capacity of about 7 million visitors since 2003. In 2004, the Eiffel Tower began hosting a seasonal ice rink on the first level. A glass floor was installed on the first level during the 2014 refurbishment. Design Material The Eiffel Tower from below The puddled iron ( wrought iron ) of the Eiffel Tower weighs 7,300 tons, and the addition of lifts, shops and antennae have brought the total weight to approximately 10,100 tons. As a demonstration of the economy of design, if the 7,300 tons of metal in the structure were melted down, it would fill the square base, 125 metres ( 410 ft ) on each side, to a depth of only 6.25 cm ( 2.46 in ) assuming the density of the metal to be 7.8 tons per cubic metre. Additionally, a cubic box surrounding the tower ( 324 mx 125 mx 125 m ) would contain 6,200 tons of air, weighing almost as much as the iron itself. Depending on the ambient temperature, the top of the tower may shift away from the sun by up to 18 cm ( 7 in ) due to thermal expansion of the metal on the side facing the sun. Wind considerations When it was built, many were shocked by the tower 's daring form. Eiffel was accused of trying to create something artistic with no regard to the principles of engineering. However, Eiffel and his team -- experienced bridge builders -- understood the importance of wind forces, and knew that if they were going to build the tallest structure in the world, they had to be sure it could withstand them. In an interview with the newspaper Le Temps published on 14 February 1887, Eiffel said : Is it not true that the very conditions which give strength also conform to the hidden rules of harmony?... Now to what phenomenon did I have to give primary concern in designing the Tower? It was wind resistance. Well then! I hold that the curvature of the monument 's four outer edges, which is as mathematical calculation dictated it should be... will give a great impression of strength and beauty, for it will reveal to the eyes of the observer the boldness of the design as a whole. He used graphical methods to determine the strength of the tower and empirical evidence to account for the effects of wind, rather than a mathematical formula. Close examination of the tower reveals a basically exponential shape. All parts of the tower were over-designed to ensure maximum resistance to wind forces. The top half was even assumed to have no gaps in the latticework. In the years since it was completed, engineers have put forward various mathematical hypotheses in an attempt to explain the success of the design. The most recent, devised in 2004 after letters sent by Eiffel to the French Society of Civil Engineers in 1885 were translated into English, is described as a non-linear integral equation based on counteracting the wind pressure on any point of the tower with the tension between the construction elements at that point. The Eiffel Tower sways by up to 9 centimetres ( 3.5 in ) in the wind. Accommodation Gustave Eiffel 's apartment When originally built, the first level contained three restaurants -- one French, one Russian and one Flemish -- and an `` Anglo - American Bar ''. After the exposition closed, the Flemish restaurant was converted to a 250 - seat theatre. A promenade 2.6 - metre ( 8 ft 6 in ) wide ran around the outside of the first level. At the top, there were laboratories for various experiments, and a small apartment reserved for Gustave Eiffel to entertain guests, which is now open to the public, complete with period decorations and lifelike mannequins of Eiffel and some of his notable guests. In May 2016, an apartment was created on the first level to accommodate four competition winners during the UEFA Euro 2016 football tournament in Paris in June. The apartment has a kitchen, two bedrooms, a lounge, and views of Paris landmarks including the Seine, the Sacre Coeur, and the Arc de Triomphe. Passenger lifts The arrangement of the lifts has been changed several times during the tower 's history. Given the elasticity of the cables and the time taken to align the cars with the landings, each lift, in normal service, takes an average of 8 minutes and 50 seconds to do the round trip, spending an average of 1 minute and 15 seconds at each level. The average journey time between levels is 1 minute. The original hydraulic mechanism is on public display in a small museum at the base of the east and west legs. Because the mechanism requires frequent lubrication and maintenance, public access is often restricted. The rope mechanism of the north tower can be seen as visitors exit the lift. Engraved names Main article : List of the 72 names on the Eiffel Tower Names engraved on the tower Gustave Eiffel engraved on the tower the names of 72 French scientists, engineers and mathematicians in recognition of their contributions to the building of the tower. Eiffel chose this `` invocation of science '' because of his concern over the artists ' protest. At the beginning of the 20th century, the engravings were painted over, but they were restored in 1986 -- 87 by the Société Nouvelle d'exploitation de la Tour Eiffel, a company operating the tower. Aesthetics The tower is painted in three shades : lighter at the top, getting progressively darker towards the bottom to complement the Parisian sky. It was originally reddish brown ; this changed in 1968 to a bronze colour known as `` Eiffel Tower Brown ''. The only non-structural elements are the four decorative grill - work arches, added in Sauvestre 's sketches, which served to make the tower look more substantial and to make a more impressive entrance to the exposition. A pop - culture movie cliché is that the view from a Parisian window always includes the tower. In reality, since zoning restrictions limit the height of most buildings in Paris to seven storeys, only a small number of tall buildings have a clear view of the tower. Maintenance Maintenance of the tower includes applying 60 tons of paint every seven years to prevent it from rusting. The tower has been completely repainted at least 19 times since it was built. Lead paint was still being used as recently as 2001 when the practice was stopped out of concern for the environment. Panorama of Paris and its suburbs from the top of the Eiffel Tower Tourism Transport The nearest Paris Métro station is Bir - Hakeim and the nearest RER station is Champ de Mars - Tour Eiffel. The tower itself is located at the intersection of the quai Branly and the Pont d'Iéna. Popularity Number of visitors per year between 1889 and 2004 More than 250 million people have visited the tower since it was completed in 1889. In 2015, there were 6.91 million visitors. The tower is the most - visited paid monument in the world. An average of 25,000 people ascend the tower every day which can result in long queues. Restaurants The tower has two restaurants : Le 58 Tour Eiffel on the first level, and Le Jules Verne, a gourmet restaurant with its own lift on the second level. This restaurant has one star in the Michelin Red Guide. It was run by the multi-Michelin star chef Alain Ducasse from 2007 to 2017. Starting May 2019, it will be managed by three star chef Frédéric Anton. It owes its name to the famous science - fiction writer Jules Verne. Additionally, there is a champagne bar at the top of the Eiffel Tower. Replicas Replica at the Paris Las Vegas Hotel, Nevada, United States Main article : List of Eiffel Tower replicas As one of the most iconic landmarks in the world, the Eiffel Tower has been the inspiration for the creation of many replicas and similar towers. An early example is Blackpool Tower in England. The mayor of Blackpool, Sir John Bickerstaffe, was so impressed on seeing the Eiffel Tower at the 1889 exposition that he commissioned a similar tower to be built in his town. It opened in 1894 and is 158.1 metres ( 518 ft ) tall. Tokyo Tower in Japan, built as a communications tower in 1958, was also inspired by the Eiffel Tower. There are various scale models of the tower in the United States, including a half - scale version at the Paris Las Vegas, Nevada, one in Paris, Texas built in 1993, and two 1 : 3 scale models at Kings Island, Ohio, and Kings Dominion, Virginia, amusement parks opened in 1972 and 1975 respectively. Two 1 : 3 scale models can be found in China, one in Durango, Mexico that was donated by the local French community, and several across Europe. In 2011, the TV show Pricing the Priceless on the National Geographic Channel speculated that a full - size replica of the tower would cost approximately US $480 million to build. Ironically, if accurate, that means that the replica would cost more than ten times that of the original ( with the original costing nearly 8 million in 1890 Francs ; ~ US $40 million in 2018 dollars ). Communications Top of the Eiffel Tower The tower has been used for making radio transmissions since the beginning of the 20th century. Until the 1950s, sets of aerial wires ran from the cupola to anchors on the Avenue de Suffren and Champ de Mars. These were connected to longwave transmitters in small bunkers. In 1909, a permanent underground radio centre was built near the south pillar, which still exists today. On 20 November 1913, the Paris Observatory, using the Eiffel Tower as an aerial, exchanged wireless signals with the United States Naval Observatory, which used an aerial in Arlington, Virginia. The object of the transmissions was to measure the difference in longitude between Paris and Washington, D.C. Today, radio and digital television signals are transmitted from the Eiffel Tower. FM radio Frequency kW Service 87.8 MHz 10 France Inter 89.0 MHz 10 RFI Paris 89.9 MHz 6 TSF Jazz 90.4 MHz 10 Nostalgie 90.9 MHz Chante France Digital television A television antenna was first installed on the tower in 1957, increasing its height by 18.7 m ( 61.4 ft ). Work carried out in 2000 added a further 5.3 m ( 17.4 ft ), giving the current height of 324 m ( 1,063 ft ). Analogue television signals from the Eiffel Tower ceased on 8 March 2011. Frequency VHF UHF kW Service 182.25 MHz 6 -- 100 Canal+ 479.25 MHz -- 22 500 France 2 503.25 MHz -- 25 500 TF1 527.25 MHz -- 28 500 France 3 543.25 MHz -- 30 100 France 5 567.25 MHz -- 33 100 M6 Illumination copyright The Eiffel Tower illuminated in 2015 The tower and its image have long been in the public domain. In June 1990 a French court ruled that a special lighting display on the tower in 1989 to mark the tower 's 100th anniversary was an `` original visual creation '' protected by copyright. The Court of Cassation, France 's judicial court of last resort, upheld the ruling in March 1992. The Société d'Exploitation de la Tour Eiffel ( SETE ) now considers any illumination of the tower to be a separate work of art that falls under copyright. As a result, the SNTE alleges that it is illegal to publish contemporary photographs of the lit tower at night without permission in France and some other countries for commercial use. The imposition of copyright has been controversial. The Director of Documentation for what was then called the Société Nouvelle d'exploitation de la Tour Eiffel ( SNTE ), Stéphane Dieu, commented in 2005 : `` It is really just a way to manage commercial use of the image, so that it is n't used in ways ( of which ) we do n't approve ''. SNTE made over € 1 million from copyright fees in 2002. However, it could also be used to restrict the publication of tourist photographs of the tower at night, as well as hindering non-profit and semi-commercial publication of images of the illuminated tower. French doctrine and jurisprudence allows pictures incorporating a copyrighted work as long as their presence is incidental or accessory to the subject being represented, a reasoning akin to the de minimis rule. Therefore, SETE may be unable to claim copyright on photographs of Paris which happen to include the lit tower. Taller structures The Eiffel Tower was the world 's tallest structure when completed in 1889, a distinction it retained until 1929 when the Chrysler Building in New York City was topped out. The tower has lost its standing both as the world 's tallest structure and the world 's tallest lattice tower but retains its status as the tallest freestanding ( non-guyed ) structure in France.

The New York Daily News gave the show a positive review, commenting that it `` makes most popular vampire romances look anemic '', while concluding, `` Pretty Little Liars could go in several directions, including mundane teen clichés. It 's got an equally good shot at making us care about these imperfect pretty girls. '' A writer on Terror Hook has stated that `` ' Pretty Little Liars ' gets off to a very promising start. Great production all around, the writing keeps the viewer on their toes, and the acting just reinforces it. The overall mystery of the show in the end is dark and unpredictable, even stepping into the slasher film realm. '' The New York Post gave the show three out of five stars, stating, `` OK, so we 've established that there is no socially redeeming value in this series and that your kids should n't watch it if they are too young and impressionable. But if you can distract them enough to miss the first 15 minutes, the show is n't half - bad. Actually, it is half - good, if that makes sense. '' The Los Angeles Times wrote that the series is `` one of those shows that manages to mildly, and perhaps unintentionally, spoof its genre while fully participating in it, and that 's not a bad thing at all. '' Entertainment Weekly had a less favorable review, giving the show a letter grade of `` D − '', saying, `` Imagine the pitch for Liars : It 's I Know What You Did Last Summer meets Gossip Girl, but like not so subtle. '' It went on to say that the plot `` hits every racy teen entertainment mark so hard ( everyone 's hair is so full -- of secrets! ) that it feels like the only thing missing is a visit from the ghosts of Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze, Jr. '' The Hollywood Reporter compared the show to those on The CW and noted, `` Sure, there 's a lot here that sustains more eye - rolling than interested stares, but a little patience might be warranted. '' Ratings ( edit ) Since the series premiere, Pretty Little Liars has remained popular.

{ "text": "Radar detector - wikipedia Radar detector For the song by Darwin Deez, see Radar Detector. An early radar detector Car radar detector ( Japanese ) A radar detector is an electronic device used by motorists to detect if their speed is being monitored by police or law enforcement using a radar gun. Most radar detectors are used so the driver can reduce the car 's speed before being ticketed for speeding. In general sense, only emitting technologies, like doppler RADAR, or LIDAR can be detected. Visual speed estimating techniques, like ANPR or VASCAR can not be detected in daytime, but technically vulnerable to detection at night, when IR spotlight is used. There are no reports that piezo sensors can be detected. LIDAR devices require an optical - band sensor, although many modern detectors include LIDAR sensors. Most of today 's radar detectors detect signals across a variety of wavelength bands : usually X, K, and K. In Europe the K band is common as well. The past success of radar detectors was based on the fact that radio - wave beam can not be narrow - enough, so the detector usually senses stray and scattered radiation, giving the driver time to slow down. Based on focused laser - beam, LIDAR technology is deprived of this shortcoming ; however requires precise aiming. Modern police radars incorporate formidable computing power, producing minimum of ultra-short pulses, reusing wide beam for multi-target measurement, which renders most detectors useless. But, mobile Internet allowed for GPS navigation devices mapping police radar spots in real - time. These gadgets are also often called `` radar detectors '', while not necessary carrying an RF sensor.

Please help improve this section by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed.

Statements consisting only of original research should be removed. ( October 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) One device law enforcement use to measure the expected speed of a moving vehicle is called Doppler radar, and it uses the Doppler effect to measure the relative speed of a vehicle. Namely, Doppler radar works by beaming a radio wave at the vehicle to then measure the expected change in frequency of the reflected wave ( that bounces off the vehicle ). Many times, law enforcement employ Doppler radar in their hand - held radar guns, on their vehicles, as well as on fixed objects such as traffic signals. Radar detectors use a superheterodyne receiver to detect these electromagnetic emissions from the radar gun, and raise an alarm to notify the motorist when a transmission is detected. False alarms can occur however due to the large number of devices, such as automatic door openers ( such as the ones at supermarkets ), speed signs, and adaptive automotive cruise control, that operate in the same part of the electromagnetic spectrum as radar guns. In recent years, some radar detectors have added GPS technology. This allows users to manually store the locations where police frequently monitor traffic, with the detector sounding an alarm when approaching that location in the future ( this is accomplished by pushing a button and does n't require coordinates to be entered ). These detectors also allow users to manually store the coordinates of sites of frequent false alarms, which the GPS enabled detector will then ignore. The detector can also be programmed to mute alerts when traveling below a preset speed, limiting unnecessary alerts. Some GPS enabled detectors can download the GPS coordinates of speed monitoring cameras and red - light cameras from the Internet, alerting the driver that they are approaching the camera. Counter technology ( edit ) Radar guns and detectors have evolved alternately over time to counter each other 's technology in a form of civilian electronic `` warfare ''. For example, as new frequencies have been introduced, radar detectors have initially been `` blind '' to them until their technology, too, has been updated. Similarly, the length of time and strength of the transmissions have been lowered to reduce the chance of detection, which in turn has resulted in more sensitive receivers and more sophisticated software counter technology. Lastly, radar detectors may combine other technologies, such as GPS - based technology with a point of interest database of known speed trapping locations, into a single device to improve their chances of success. Radar detector detectors ( edit ) Main article : Radar detector detector The superheterodyne receiver in radar detectors has a local oscillator that radiates slightly, so it is possible to build a radar - detector detector, which detects such emissions ( usually the frequency of the radar type being detected, plus about 10 MHz ). The VG - 2 Interceptor was the first device developed for this purpose, but has since been eclipsed by the Spectre III and Spectre Elite. This form of `` electronic warfare '' cuts both ways - since detector - detectors use a similar superheterodyne receiver, many early `` stealth '' radar detectors were equipped with a radar - detector - detector - detector circuit, which shuts down the main radar receiver when the detector - detector 's signal is sensed, thus preventing detection by such equipment. This technique borrows from ELINT surveillance countermeasures. In the early 1990s, BEL - Tronics, Inc. of Ontario, Canada ( where radar detector use is prohibited in most provinces ) found that the local oscillator frequency of the detector could be altered to be out of the range of the VG - 2 Interceptor ( probably by using two LO stages such that neither is near the RF frequency ). This resulted in detector manufacturers responding by changing their local oscillator frequency. Today, practically every radar detector on the market is immune to the VG - 2 Interceptor.. The VG - 2 is no longer in production and radar detectors immune to the Spectre Elite are available. Radar scrambling ( edit ) It is illegal in many countries to sell or possess any products that actively transmit radar signals intended to jam radar equipment. In the United States, actively transmitting on a frequency licensed by the Federal Communications Commission ( FCC ) without a licence is a violation of FCC regulations, which may be punishable by fines up to $10,000 and / or up to one year imprisonment. Passport x50 Radar / Laser detector. LIDAR detection ( edit ) Main article : LIDAR detector Newer speed detection devices use pulsed laser light, commonly referred to as LIDAR, rather than radio waves. Radar detectors, which detect radio transmissions, are therefore unable to detect the infrared light emitted by LIDAR guns so a different type of device called a LIDAR detector is required. LIDAR detection, however, is not nearly as effective as radar detection because the output beam is very focused. While radar 's radio waves can expand to 85 feet ( 26 m ) across at 1,000 feet ( 300 m ) from their source, LIDAR 's light beam diffuses to only about 6 feet ( 1.8 m ). Also, a police officer targeting a car will most likely aim for the centre mass or headlight of the vehicle and, because radar detectors are mounted on the windshield away from the beam 's aim, they may not alert at all. Lastly, with such a focused beam, an officer using a LIDAR gun can target a single car in close proximity to others at ranges of up to 3,000 feet ( 910 m ). This has resulted in some manufacturers producing LIDAR jammers. Unlike radar, LIDAR 's frequencies and use are not controlled by the FCC. These jammers attempt to confuse police LIDAR into showing no speed on the display. Many times they are successful, and therefore many LIDAR manufacturers are producing LIDAR guns that have `` jam codes '' which show when they are being jammed. They will work on some LIDAR jammers and not others. In spite of this, police can often tell when they are being jammed when they get no reading on their LIDAR. Many jammer - equipped motorists using jammers now try to counter this by reducing their speed to legal limits before they turn their jammer equipment off or `` kill the equipment '' referred to as `` JTK '' or `` Jam to Kill. '' Officers can often tell this is going on by just watching for their LIDAR equipment not being able to lock in a speed properly along with visual indication of sudden deceleration of the targeted vehicle. They will then pull the offending vehicle over and look for LIDAR jammers on the front of the vehicle and can hit the motorist with an obstruction of justice charge should they be found. Some states also have laws about any police radar or LIDAR jamming. These are CA, UT, CO, OK, TX, MN, IL, TN, VA, SC. In these states the penalties can be severe. Despite the advent of LIDAR speed detection, radar remains more prevalent because of its lower price relative to LIDAR equipment and the amount of radar equipment already in service. In addition, in order to use LIDAR the officer must be stationary and can not be moving at all on account of the need for a very precise aim.

( November 2007 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Using or possessing a radar detector or jammer is illegal in certain countries, and it may result in fines, seizure of the device, or both. These prohibitions generally are introduced under the premise that a driver who uses a radar detector will pose a greater risk of accident than a driver who does not. The table below provides information about laws regarding radar detectors in particular nations. In 1967 devices to warn drivers of radar speed traps were being manufactured in the United Kingdom ; they were deemed illegal under the Wireless Telegraphy Act 1949. Country Legality Radar Bands Australia Illegal in all states besides Western Australia They are illegal to use in a moving vehicle ( as stated by the traffic laws in ) SA, NSW, ACT, NT, Queensland and Tasmania. In the state of Victoria it is an offence to sell, use or possess a radar detector, and police may confiscate such equipment if found in a vehicle. Heavy fines apply, ranging from AU $200 -- $1,700, up to nine demerit points, and confiscation of the radar detector. However, importing a unit is permitted under Australian customs regulations. Queensland = up to 40 penalty units ( approximately equal to $3,000 ) for being in or on a vehicle whether or not the device is operating or in working order.

X, K, Ku, Laser ( Possibly others ) Turkey Illegal Radar jammers are illegal UAE Illegal United Kingdom Legal, although prior to 1998 the Police would attempt prosecutions under the Wireless and Telegraphy act 1949, laser jammers are still a grey area in the use of them. United States Law varies from state to state, but detectors are generally legal in private vehicles under the Communications Act of 1934 and illegal in commercial vehicles by DOT regulation ( 49 CFR 392.71 ). Exceptions : Detectors are Illegal in all vehicles : Virginia, Washington D.C., U.S. military bases Illegal in commercial vehicles under state law : Illinois, New York, New Jersey ( specifically, commercial vehicles over 10,000 pounds ( 4,500 kg ) and all vehicles over 18,000 pounds ( 8,200 kg ) ) Also illegal in all commercial vehicles over 10000 lbs under US federal law Prohibitions against affixing items to windshield - `` obstructing vision '' ) : Minnesota, California Repealed : Connecticut ( repealed in 1992 ) Confiscation and / or destruction of the detector was once a common practice but lawsuits raised by drivers arguing violation of property rights have resulted in temporary removal while a citation is written, then return of the device after its description ( make, model and serial number ) has been entered on the ticket - usually for speeding and possession / operation of a detector. Use of a radar / lidar detector on a military installation is prohibited. Persons entering a military installation with one visibly mounted to the sun visor or windshield will be asked to remove it and put it away. Those who refuse will be denied entry onto the installation at that time. Military law enforcement may not stop a vehicle solely for a detector being in use, but along with being stopped for another moving violation, active duty personnel using a detector may be ordered to report the violation to his / her unit commanding officer. Radar jammers are not allowed under federal rule, but laser jammers are not specifically banned. Ten states are specifically banning laser jammers : California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota, South Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Virginia. Radar detectors are not banned in the aforementioned states ( Excluding Virginia ).

{ "text": "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God - wikipedia Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God Jump to : navigation, search Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God A monument in Enfield, Connecticut commemorating the location where this sermon was preached. Author Jonathan Edwards Country British Colonies Language English Genre Sermon Publication date 8 July 1741 Text Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God at Wikisource `` Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God '' is a sermon written by British Colonial Christian theologian Jonathan Edwards, preached to his own congregation in Northampton, Massachusetts to unknown effect, and again on July 8, 1741 in Enfield, Connecticut. Like Edwards ' other works, it combines vivid imagery of Hell with observations of the world and citations of the scripture. It is Edwards ' most famous written work, is a fitting representation of his preaching style, and is widely studied by Christians and historians, providing a glimpse into the theology of the Great Awakening of c. 1730 -- 1755. This is a typical sermon of the Great Awakening, emphasizing the belief that Hell is a real place. Edwards hoped that the imagery and language of his sermon would awaken audiences to the horrific reality that he believed awaited them should they continue life without devotion to Christ. The underlying point is that God has given humanity a chance to rectify their sins. Edwards says that it is the will of God that keeps wicked men from the depths of Hell. This act of restraint has given humanity a chance to mend their ways and return to Christ. Contents ( hide ) 1 Doctrine 2 Purpose 3 Application 4 Effect and legacy 5 See also 6 Notes 7 References 8 External links Doctrine ( edit ) Edwards, Rev. Jonathan ( July 8, 1741 ), Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God, A Sermon Preached at Enfield `` There is nothing that keeps wicked men at any one moment out of hell, but the mere pleasure of God. '' Most of the sermon 's text consists of ten `` considerations '' : God may cast wicked men into hell at any given moment. The Wicked deserve to be cast into hell. Divine justice does not prevent God from destroying the Wicked at any moment. The Wicked, at this moment, suffer under God 's condemnation to Hell. The Wicked, on earth - at this very moment - suffer a sample of the torments of Hell. The Wicked must not think, simply because they are not physically in Hell, that God ( in Whose hand the Wicked now reside ) is not - at this very moment - as angry with them as He is with those miserable creatures He is now tormenting in hell, and who - at this very moment - do feel and bear the fierceness of His wrath. At any moment God shall permit him, Satan stands ready to fall upon the Wicked and seize them as his own. If it were not for God 's restraints, there are, in the souls of wicked men, hellish principles reigning which, presently, would kindle and flame out into hellfire. Simply because there are not visible means of death before them at any given moment, the Wicked should not feel secure. Simply because it is natural to care for oneself or to think that others may care for them, men should not think themselves safe from God 's wrath. All that wicked men may do to save themselves from Hell 's pains shall afford them nothing if they continue to reject Christ. God has never promised to save us from Hell, except for those contained in Christ through the covenant of Grace. Purpose ( edit ) One church in Enfield, Connecticut had been largely unaffected during the Great Awakening of New England. Edwards was invited by the pastor of the church to preach to them. Edwards 's aim was to teach his listeners about the horrors of hell, the dangers of sin and the terrors of being lost. Edwards described the shaky position of those who do not follow Christ 's urgent call to receive forgiveness. Application ( edit ) In the final section of `` Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God, '' Edwards shows his theological argument throughout scripture and biblical history. Invoking stories and examples throughout the whole Bible. Edwards ends the sermon with one final appeal, `` Therefore let everyone that is out of Christ, now awake and fly from the wrath to come. '' According to Edwards, only by returning to Christ can one escape the stark fate he outlines. Effect and legacy ( edit ) Jonathan Edwards was interrupted many times before finishing the sermon by people moaning and crying out, `` What shall I do to be saved? '' Although the sermon has received criticism, Edwards ' words have endured and are still read to this day. Edwards ' sermon continues to be the leading example of a Great Awakening sermon and is still used in religious and academic studies. Over the last sixty years, a number of critical perspectives were used to analyse the sermon. The first comprehensive academic analysis of `` Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God '' was published by Edwin Cady in 1949, who comments on the imagery of the sermon and distinguishes between the `` cliché '' and `` fresh '' figurative images, stressing how the former related to the colonial life. Lee Stuart questions that the message of the sermon was solely negative and attributes its success to the final passages in which the sinners are actually `` comforted ''. Rosemary Hearn argues that it is the logical structure of the sermon that constitutes its most important persuasive element. Lemay looks into the changes in the syntactic categories, like grammatical tenses, in the text of the sermon. Lukasik stresses how in the sermon Edwards appropriates Newtonian physics, especially the image of the gravitational pull that would relentlessly bring the sinners down. Gallagher focuses on the `` beat '' of the sermon, and on how the consecutive structural elements of the sermon serve different persuasive aims. Choiński suggests that the rhetorical success of the sermon consists in the use of the `` deictic shift '' that transported the hearers mentally into the figurative images of hell.

Performing arts Ballet Circus skills Clown Dance Magic Mime Music Opera Puppetry Speech Theatre Ventriloquism Magic ( sometimes referred to as stage or street magic to distinguish it from paranormal or ritual magic ) is one of the oldest performing arts in the world in which audiences are entertained by staged tricks or illusions of seemingly impossible or supernatural feats using natural means. These feats are called magic tricks, effects, or illusions. Contents ( hide ) 1 History 1.1 Magic tricks 1.2 Modern stage magic 2 Categories of effects 3 Learning magic 4 Types of magic performance 5 Misuse of magic 6 Researching magic 7 See also 8 References 9 Further reading 10 External links History ( edit ) The term `` magic '' etymologically derives from the Greek word mageia ( μαγεία ). In ancient times, Greeks and Persians had been at war for centuries, and the Persian priests, called magosh in Persian, came to be known as magoi in Greek. Ritual acts of Persian priests came to be known as mageia, and then magika -- which eventually came to mean any foreign, unorthodox, or illegitimate ritual practice. The first book containing explanations of magic tricks appeared in 1584. During the 17th century, many similar books were published that described magic tricks. Until the 18th century, magic shows were a common source of entertainment at fairs. A founding figure of modern entertainment magic was Jean Eugène Robert - Houdin, who had a magic theatre in Paris in 1845. John Henry Anderson was pioneering the same transition in London in the 1840s. Towards the end of the 19th century, large magic shows permanently staged at big theatre venues became the norm. As a form of entertainment, magic easily moved from theatrical venues to television magic specials. Performances that modern observers would recognize as conjuring have been practiced throughout history. For many recorded centuries, magicians were associated with the devil and the occult. During the 19th and 20th centuries, many stage magicians even capitalized on this notion in their advertisements. The same level of ingenuity that was used to produce famous ancient deceptions such as the Trojan Horse would also have been used for entertainment, or at least for cheating in money games. They were also used by the practitioners of various religions and cults from ancient times onwards to frighten uneducated people into obedience or turn them into adherents. However, the profession of the illusionist gained strength only in the 18th century, and has enjoyed several popular vogues since. Magic tricks ( edit ) Opinions vary among magicians on how to categorize a given effect, but a number of categories have been developed. Magicians may pull a rabbit from an empty hat, make something seem to disappear, or transform a red silk handkerchief into a green silk handkerchief. Magicians may also destroy something, like cutting a head off, and then `` restore '' it, make something appear to move from one place to another, or they may escape from a restraining device. Other illusions include making something appear to defy gravity, making a solid object appear to pass through another object, or appearing to predict the choice of a spectator. Many magic routines use combinations of effects. An illustration from Reginald Scot 's The Discoverie of Witchcraft ( 1584 ), one of the earliest books on magic tricks, explaining how the `` Decollation of John Baptist '' decapitation illusion may be performed One of the earliest books on the subject is Gantziony 's work of 1489, Natural and Unnatural Magic, which describes and explains old - time tricks. In 1584 Englishman Reginald Scot, published The Discoverie of Witchcraft, part of which was devoted to debunking the claims that magicians used supernatural methods, and showing how their ' magic tricks ' were in reality accomplished. Among the tricks discussed were ' sleight - of - hand ' manipulations with rope, paper and coins. At the time, fear and belief in witchcraft was widespread and the book tried to demonstrate that these fears were misplaced. All obtainable copies were burned on the accession of James I in 1603 and those remaining are now rare. It began to reappear in print in 1651. During the 17th century, many similar books were published that described in detail the methods of a number of magic tricks, including The Art of Conjuring ( 1614 ) and The Anatomy of Legerdemain : The Art of Juggling ( c. 1675 ). Advertisement for Isaac Fawkes ' show from 1724 in which he boasts of the success of his performances for the King and Prince George Until the 18th century, magic shows were a common source of entertainment at fairs, where itinerant performers would entertain the public with magic tricks, as well as the more traditional spectacles of sword swallowing, juggling and fire breathing. In the early 18th century, as belief in witchcraft was waning, the art became increasingly respectable and shows would be put on for rich private patrons. A notable figure in this transition was the English showman, Isaac Fawkes, who began to promote his act in advertisements from the 1720s -- he even claimed to have performed for King George II. One of Fawkes ' advertisements described his routine in some detail : He takes an empty bag, lays it on the Table and turns it several times inside out, then commands 100 Eggs out of it and several showers of real Gold and silver, then the Bag beginning to swell several sorts of wild fowl run out of it upon the Table. He throws up a Pack of Cards, and causes them to be living birds flying about the room. He causes living Beasts, Birds, and other Creatures to appear upon the Table. He blows the spots of the Cards off and on, and changes them to any pictures. From 1756 to 1781, Jacob Philadelphia performed feats of magic, sometimes under the guise of scientific exhibitions, throughout Europe and in Russia. Modern stage magic ( edit ) Jean Eugène Robert - Houdin, pioneer of modern magic entertainment A founding figure of modern entertainment magic was Jean Eugène Robert - Houdin, originally a clockmaker, who opened a magic theatre in Paris in 1845. He transformed his art from one performed at fairs to a performance that the public paid to see at the theatre. His speciality was constructing mechanical automata that appeared to move and act as if alive. Many of Robert - Houdin 's mechanisms for illusion were pirated by his assistant and ended up in the performances of his rivals, John Henry Anderson and Alexander Herrmann. John Henry Anderson was pioneering the same transition in London. In 1840 he opened the New Strand Theatre, where he performed as The Great Wizard of the North. His success came from advertising his shows and captivating his audience with expert showmanship. He became one of the earliest magicians to attain a high level of world renown. He opened a second theatre in Glasgow in 1845. John Nevil Maskelyne, a famous magician and illusionist of the late 19th century. Towards the end of the century, large magic shows permanently staged at big theatre venues became the norm. The British performer JN Maskelyne and his partner Cooke were established at the Egyptian Hall in London 's Piccadilly in 1873 by their manager William Morton, and continued there for 31 years. The show incorporated stage illusions and reinvented traditional tricks with exotic ( often Oriental ) imagery. The potential of the stage was exploited for hidden mechanisms and assistants, and the control it offers over the audience 's point of view. Maskelyne and Cooke invented many of the illusions still performed today -- one of his best - known being levitation. The model for the look of a ' typical ' magician -- a man with wavy hair, a top hat, a goatee, and a tailcoat -- was Alexander Herrmann ( February 10, 1844 -- December 17, 1896 ), also known as Herrmann the Great. Herrmann was a French magician and was part of the Herrmann family name that is the `` first - family of magic. '' The escapologist and magician Harry Houdini took his stage name from Robert - Houdin and developed a range of stage magic tricks, many of them based on what became known after his death as escapology. Houdini was genuinely skilled in techniques such as lockpicking and escaping straitjackets, but also made full use of the range of conjuring techniques, including fake equipment and collusion with individuals in the audience. Houdini 's show business savvy was as great as his performance skill. There is a Houdini Museum dedicated to him in Scranton, Pennsylvania. The Magic Circle was formed in London in 1905 to promote and advance the art of stage magic. As a form of entertainment, magic easily moved from theatrical venues to television specials, which opened up new opportunities for deceptions, and brought stage magic to huge audiences. Famous magicians of the 20th century included Okito, David Devant, Harry Blackstone Sr., Harry Blackstone Jr., Howard Thurston, Theodore Annemann, Cardini, Joseph Dunninger, Dai Vernon, Fred Culpitt, Tommy Wonder, Siegfried & Roy, and Doug Henning. Popular 20th and 21st century magicians include David Copperfield, Lance Burton, James Randi, Penn and Teller, David Blaine, Criss Angel, Hans Klok and Derren Brown. Well - known women magicians include Dell O'Dell and Dorothy Dietrich. Most television magicians perform before a live audience, who provide the remote viewer with a reassurance that the illusions are not obtained with post-production visual effects. Many of the principles of stage magic are old. There is an expression, `` it 's all done with smoke and mirrors '', used to explain something baffling, but effects seldom use mirrors today, due to the amount of installation work and transport difficulties. For example, the famous Pepper 's Ghost, a stage illusion first used in 19th - century London, required a specially built theatre. Modern performers have vanished objects as large as the Taj Mahal, the Statue of Liberty, and a space shuttle, using other kinds of optical deceptions. Categories of effects ( edit ) Opinions vary among magicians as to how to categorize a given effect, and disagreement as to what categories actually exist. For instance, some magicians consider `` penetrations '' a separate category, while others consider penetrations a form of restoration or teleportation. Some magicians today, such as Guy Hollingworth and Tom Stone have begun to challenge the notion that all magic effects fit into a limited number of categories. Among magicians who believe in a limited number of categories ( such as Dariel Fitzkee, Harlan Tarbell, S.H. Sharpe ), there has been disagreement as to how many different types of effects there are. Some of these are listed below. Production : The magician produces something from nothing -- a rabbit from an empty hat, a fan of cards from thin air, a shower of coins from an empty bucket, a dove from a pan, or the magician himself or herself, appearing in a puff of smoke on an empty stage -- all of these effects are productions. Vanish : The magician makes something disappear -- a coin, a cage of doves, milk from a newspaper, an assistant from a cabinet, or even the Statue of Liberty. A vanish, being the reverse of a production, may use a similar technique in reverse. Transformation : The magician transforms something from one state into another -- a silk handkerchief changes color, a lady turns into a tiger, an indifferent card changes to the spectator 's chosen card. Play media Transformation : Change of color Restoration : The magician destroys an object -- a rope is cut, a newspaper is torn, a woman is cut in half, a borrowed watch is smashed to pieces -- then restores it to its original state. Transposition : This is whereby two or more objects are used in play. The magician will cause these objects to change places, as many times as he pleases, and in some cases, ends with a kicker by transforming the objects into something else. Transportation : The magician causes something to move from one place to another -- a borrowed ring is found inside a ball of wool, a canary inside a light bulb, an assistant from a cabinet to the back of the theater, or a coin from one hand to the other. When two objects exchange places, it is called a transposition : a simultaneous, double transportation. A transportation can be seen as a combination of a vanish and a production. When performed by a mentalist it might be called teleportation. Escape : The magician ( or less often, an assistant ) is placed in a restraining device ( i.e., handcuffs or a straitjacket ) or a death trap, and escapes to safety. Examples include being put in a straitjacket and into an overflowing tank of water, and being tied up and placed in a car being sent through a car crusher. Levitation : The magician defies gravity, either by making something float in the air, or with the aid of another object ( suspension ) -- a silver ball floats around a cloth, an assistant floats in mid-air, another is suspended from a broom, a scarf dances in a sealed bottle, the magician hovers a few inches off the floor. There are many popular ways to create this illusion, including Asrah levitation, Balducci levitation, and King levitation. The flying illusion has often been performed by David Copperfield and more recently by Peter Marvey. Harry Blackstone floated a light bulb over the heads of the public. Penetration : The magician makes a solid object pass through another -- a set of steel rings link and unlink, a candle penetrates an arm, swords pass through an assistant in a basket, a salt shaker penetrates a tabletop, or a man walks through a mirror. Sometimes referred to as `` solid - through - solid ''. Prediction : The magician accurately predicts the choice of a spectator or the outcome of an event -- a newspaper headline, the total amount of loose change in the spectator 's pocket, a picture drawn on a slate -- under seemingly impossible circumstances. Many magic routines use combinations of effects. For example, in `` cups and balls '' a magician may use vanishes, productions, penetrations, teleportation and transformations as part of the one presentation. The methodology behind magic is often referred to as a science ( often a branch of physics ) while the performance aspect is more of an art form. Learning magic ( edit ) See also : List of magic publications A stage magician using a top hat as a prop Dedication to magic can teach confidence and creativity, as well as the work ethic associated with regular practice and the responsibility that comes with devotion to an art. The teaching of performance magic was once a secretive practice. Professional magicians were unwilling to share knowledge with anyone outside the profession to prevent the laity from learning their secrets. This often made it difficult for an interested apprentice to learn anything but the basics of magic. Some had strict rules against members discussing magic secrets with anyone but established magicians. From the 1584 publication of Reginald Scot 's Discoverie of Witchcraft until the end of the 19th century, only a few books were available for magicians to learn the craft, whereas today mass - market books offer a myriad titles. Videos and DVDs are a newer medium of tuition, but many of the methods found in this format are readily found in previously published books. However, they can serve as a visual demonstration. Persons interested in learning to perform magic can join magic clubs. Here magicians, both seasoned and novitiate, can work together and help one another for mutual improvement, to learn new techniques, to discuss all aspects of magic, to perform for each other -- sharing advice, encouragement, and criticism. Before a magician can join one of these clubs, they usually have to audition. The purpose is to show to the membership they are a magician and not just someone off the street wanting to discover magic secrets. The world 's largest magic organization is the International Brotherhood of Magicians ; it publishes a monthly journal, The Linking Ring. The oldest organization is the Society of American Magicians, which publishes the monthly magazine M-U-M and of which Houdini was a member and president for several years. In London, England, there is The Magic Circle, which houses the largest magic library in Europe. Also PSYCRETS -- The British Society of Mystery Entertainers -- caters specifically to mentalists, bizarrists, storytellers, readers, spiritualist performers, and other mystery entertainers. Davenport 's Magic in London 's The Strand is the world 's oldest family - run magic shop. The Magic Castle in Hollywood, California, is home to the Academy of Magical Arts. Traditionally, magicians refuse to reveal the methods behind their tricks to the audience. Membership in professional magicians ' organizations often requires a commitment never to reveal the secrets of magic to non-magicians. Magic performances tend to fall into a few specialties or genres. Stage illusions use large - scale props and even large animals. Platform magic is performed for a medium to large audience. Close - up magic is performed with the audience close to the magician. Escapology involves escapes from confinement or restraints. Pickpocket magicians take audience members ' wallets, belts, and ties. Mentalism creates the illusion that the magician can read minds. Comedy magic is the use of magic combined with stand - up comedy, an example being Penn & Teller. Some modern illusionists believe that it is unethical to give a performance that claims to be anything other than a clever and skillful deception. Others argue that they can claim that the effects are due to magic. These apparently irreconcilable differences of opinion have led to some conflicts among performers. Another issue is the use of deceptive practices for personal gain outside the venue of a magic performance. Examples include fraudulent mediums, con men and grifters who use deception for cheating at card games. Types of magic performance ( edit ) Magic performances tend to fall into a few specialties or genres. A mentalist on stage in a mind - reading performance, 1900 Amateur magician performing `` children 's magic '' for a birthday party audience Stage illusions are performed for large audiences, typically within a theatre or auditorium. This type of magic is distinguished by large - scale props, the use of assistants and often exotic animals such as elephants and tigers. Famous stage illusionists, past and present, include Harry Blackstone, Sr., Howard Thurston, Chung Ling Soo, David Copperfield, Lance Burton, Siegfried & Roy, and Harry Blackstone, Jr. Parlor magic is done for larger audiences than close - up magic ( which is for a few people or even one person ) and for smaller audiences than stage magic. In parlor magic, the performer is usually standing and on the same level as the audience, which may be seated on chairs or even on the floor. According to the Encyclopedia of Magic and Magicians by T.A. Waters, `` The phrase ( parlor magic ) is often used as a pejorative to imply that an effect under discussion is not suitable for professional performance. '' Also, many magicians consider the term `` parlor '' old fashioned and limiting, since this type of magic is often done in rooms much larger than the traditional parlor, or even outdoors. A better term for this branch of magic may be `` platform, '' `` club '' or `` cabaret. '' Examples of such magicians include Jeff McBride, David Abbott, Channing Pollock, Black Herman, and Fred Kaps. Micromagic ( also known as close - up magic or table magic ) is performed with the audience close to the magician, sometimes even one - on - one. It usually makes use of everyday items as props, such as cards ( see Card manipulation ), coins ( see Coin magic ), and seemingly ' impromptu ' effects. This may be called `` table magic '', particularly when performed as dinner entertainment. Ricky Jay, Mahdi Moudini, and Lee Asher, following in the traditions of Dai Vernon, Slydini, and Max Malini, are considered among the foremost practitioners of close - up magic. Escapology is the branch of magic that deals with escapes from confinement or restraints. Harry Houdini is a well - known example of an escape artist or escapologist. Pickpocket magicians use magic to misdirect the audience while removing wallets, belts, ties and other personal effects. It can be presented on a stage, in a cabaret setting, before small close - up groups, or even for one spectator. Well - known pickpockets include James Freedman, David Avadon, Bob Arno, and Apollo Robbins. Mentalism creates the impression in the minds of the audience that the performer possesses special powers to read thoughts, predict events, control other minds, and similar feats. It can be presented on a stage, in a cabaret setting, before small close - up groups, or even for one spectator. Well - known mentalists of the past and present include Alexander, The Zancigs, Axel Hellstrom, Dunninger, Kreskin, Derren Brown, Rich Ferguson, Guy Bavli, Banachek, and Alain Nu. Theatrical séances simulate spiritualistic or mediumistic phenomena for theatrical effect. This genre of stage magic has been misused at times by charlatans pretending to actually be in contact with spirits. Children 's magic is performed for an audience primarily composed of children. It is typically performed at birthday parties, preschools, elementary schools, Sunday schools or libraries. This type of magic is usually comedic in nature and involves audience interaction as well as volunteer assistants. Online magic tricks were designed to function on a computer screen. The computer essentially replaces the magician. Some online magic tricks recreate traditional card tricks and require user participation, while others, like Plato 's Cursed Triangle, are based on mathematical, geometrical and / or optical illusions. One such online magic trick, called Esmeralda 's Crystal Ball, became a viral phenomenon that fooled so many computer users into believing that their computer had supernatural powers, that Snopes dedicated a page to debunking the trick. Mathemagic is a genre of stage magic that combines magic and mathematics. It is commonly used by children 's magicians and mentalists. Corporate magic or trade show magic uses magic as a communication and sales tool, as opposed to just straightforward entertainment. Corporate magicians may come from a business background and typically present at meetings, conferences and product launches. They run workshops and can sometimes be found at trade shows, where their patter and illusions enhance an entertaining presentation of the products offered by their corporate sponsors. Pioneer performers in this arena include Eddie Tullock and Guy Bavli. Gospel magic uses magic to catechize and evangelize. Gospel magic was first used by St. Don Bosco to interest children in 19th - century Turin, Italy to come back to school, to accept assistance and to attend church. Street magic is a form of street performing or busking that employs a hybrid of stage magic, platform and close - up magic, usually performed ' in the round ' or surrounded by the audience. Notable modern street magic performers include Jeff Sheridan and Gazzo. Since the first David Blaine TV special Street Magic aired in 1997, the term `` street magic '' has also come to describe a style of ' guerilla ' performance in which magicians approach and perform for unsuspecting members of the public on the street. Unlike traditional street magic, this style is almost purely designed for TV and gains its impact from the wild reactions of the public. Magicians of this type include David Blaine and Cyril Takayama. Bizarre magic uses mystical, horror, fantasy, and other similar themes in performance. Bizarre magic is typically performed in a close - up venue, although some performers have effectively presented it in a stage setting. Charles Cameron has generally been credited as the `` godfather of bizarre magic. '' Others such as Tony Andruzzi have contributed significantly to its development. Shock magic is a genre of magic that shocks the audience. Sometimes referred to as `` geek magic, '' it takes its roots from circus sideshows, in which ' freakish ' performances were shown to audiences. Common shock magic or geek magic effects include eating razor blades, needle - through - arm, string through neck and pen - through - tongue. Comedy magic is the use of magic in which is combined with stand - up comedy. Famous comedy magicians include Ed Alonzo, Penn & Teller, and Levent. Quick change magic is the use of magic which is combined with the very quick changing of costumes. Famous quick change artists include Sos & Victoria Petrosyan. Camera magic ( or `` video magic '' ) is magic that is aimed at viewers watching broadcasts or recordings. It includes tricks based on the restricted viewing angles of cameras and clever editing. Camera magic often features paid extras posing as spectators who may even be assisting in the performance. Camera magic can be done live, such as Derren Brown 's lottery prediction. Famous examples of camera magic include David Copperfield 's Floating Over the Grand Canyon and many of Criss Angel 's illusions. Misuse of magic ( edit ) Some modern illusionists believe that it is unethical to give a performance that claims to be anything other than a clever and skillful deception. Most of these performers therefore eschew the term `` magician '' ( which they view as making a claim to supernatural power ) in favor of `` illusionist '' and similar descriptions ; for example, the performer Jamy Ian Swiss makes these points by billing himself as an `` honest liar. '' Alternatively, many performers say that magical acts, as a form of theater, need no more of a disclaimer than any play or film ; this policy is advocated by the magician and mentalist Joseph Dunninger, who states `` For those who believe, no explanation is necessary ; for those who do not believe, no explanation will suffice. '' These apparently irreconcilable differences of opinion have led to some conflicts among performers. For example, more than thirty years after the hugely successful illusionist Uri Geller made his first appearances on television in the 1970s to exhibit his self - proclaimed psychic ability to bend spoons, his actions still provoke controversy among some magic performers, because he claimed he was not using conjuring techniques. On the other hand, because Geller bent -- and continues to bend -- spoons within a performance context, the Dunninger quote may be said to apply. Less fraught with controversy, however, may be the use of deceptive practices by those who employ conjuring techniques for personal gain outside the venue of a magic performance. Fraudulent mediums have long capitalized on the popular belief in paranormal phenomena to prey on the bereaved for financial gain. From the 1840s to the 1920s, during the greatest popularity of the Spiritualism religious movement as well as public interest in séances, a number of fraudulent mediums used conjuring methods to perform illusions such as table - knocking, slate - writing, and telekinetic effects, which they attributed to the actions of ghosts or other spirits. The great escapologist and illusionist Harry Houdini devoted much of his time to exposing such fraudulent operators. Magician James Randi, magic duo Penn & Teller, and the mentalist Derren Brown have also devoted much time to investigating and debunking paranormal, occult, and supernatural claims. Fraudulent faith healers have also been shown to employ sleight of hand to give the appearance of removing chicken - giblet `` tumors '' from patients ' abdomens. Con men and grifters too may use techniques of conjuring for fraudulent goals. Cheating at card games is an obvious example, and not a surprising one : one of the most respected textbooks of card techniques for magicians, The Expert at the Card Table by Erdnase, was primarily written as an instruction manual for card sharps. The card trick known as `` Find the Lady '' or `` Three - card Monte '' is an old favourite of street hustlers, who lure the victim into betting on what seems like a simple proposition : to identify, after a seemingly easy - to - track mixing sequence, which one of three face - down cards is the Queen. Another example is the shell game, in which a pea is hidden under one of three walnut shells, then shuffled around the table ( or sidewalk ) so slowly as to make the pea 's position seemingly obvious. Although these are well known as frauds, people still lose money on them ; a shell - game ring was broken up in Los Angeles as recently as December 2009. Researching magic ( edit ) Because of the secretive nature of magic, research can sometimes be a challenge. Many magic resources are privately held and most libraries only have small populist collections of magicana. However, organizations exist to band together independent collectors, writers, and researchers of magic history, including the Magic Collectors ' Association, which publishes a quarterly magazine and hosts an annual convention ; and the Conjuring Arts Research Center, which publishes a monthly newsletter and biannual magazine, and offers its members use of a searchable database of rare books and periodicals. Performance magic is particularly notable as a key area of popular culture from the mid-19th to mid-20th centuries. Many performances and performers can be followed through newspapers of the time. Many books have been written about magic tricks ; so many are written every year that at least one magic author has suggested that more books are written about magic than any other performing art. Although the bulk of these books are not seen on the shelves of libraries or public bookstores, the serious student can find many titles through specialized stores catering to the needs of magic performers. Several notable public research collections on magic are the WG Alma Conjuring Collection at the State Library of Victoria ; the R.B. Robbins Collection of Stage Magic and Conjuring at the State Library of NSW ; the H. Adrian Smith Collection of Conjuring and Magicana at Brown University ; and the Carl W. Jones Magic Collection, 1870s -- 1948 at Princeton University.

She lives alone in an apartment above a cinema, and works as a cleaning woman at a secret government laboratory in Baltimore at the height of the Cold War. Her friends are her closeted next - door neighbor Giles, a struggling advertising illustrator who shares a strong bond with her, and her African - American co-worker Zelda, a woman who also serves as her interpreter at work. The facility receives a mysterious creature captured from a South American river by Colonel Richard Strickland, who is in charge of the project to study it. Curious about the creature, Elisa discovers it is a humanoid amphibian. She begins visiting him in secret, and the two form a close bond. Seeking to exploit the creature to American advantage in the Space Race, General Frank Hoyt orders Strickland to vivisect it. One scientist, Robert Hoffstetler -- who is in truth a Soviet spy named Dimitri Mosenkov -- pleads unsuccessfully to keep the creature alive for further study and, at the same time, is ordered by his Soviet handlers to euthanize the creature. When Elisa learns of the Americans ' plans for the creature, she persuades Giles to help her free him. Mosenkov discovers Elisa 's plot and chooses to help her. Though initially reluctant, Zelda becomes involved in the escape, and it is successful. Elisa keeps the creature in her bathtub, adding salt to the water to keep him alive. She plans to release the creature into a nearby canal when it will be opened to the ocean in several days ' time. As part of his efforts to recover the creature, Strickland interrogates Elisa and Zelda, but the failure of his advances toward Elisa hampers his judgment, and he dismisses them. Back at the apartment, Giles discovers the creature devouring one of his cats, Pandora. Startled, the creature slashes Giles 's arm and rushes out of the apartment. The creature gets as far as the cinema downstairs before Elisa finds him and returns him to her apartment. The creature touches Giles on his balding head and his wounded arm ; the next morning, Giles discovers his hair has begun growing back and the wounds on his arm have healed. Elisa and the creature soon become romantically involved, having sex in her bathroom, which she at one point fills completely with water. Hoyt gives Strickland an ultimatum, asking him to recover the creature within 36 hours. Meanwhile, Mosenkov is told by his handlers that he will be extracted in two days. As the planned release date approaches, the creature 's health starts deteriorating. Mosenkov leaves to rendezvous with his handlers, with Strickland tailing him. At the rendezvous, Mosenkov is shot by one of his handlers, but Strickland shoots the handlers dead and then tortures Mosenkov for information. Mosenkov implicates Elisa and Zelda before dying from his wounds. Strickland then threatens Zelda in her home, causing her terrified husband to reveal that Elisa had been keeping the creature. Strickland searches Elisa 's apartment and finds a calendar note revealing when and where she plans to release him. At the canal, Elisa and Giles bid farewell to the creature, but Strickland arrives and attacks them all. Strickland knocks Giles down and shoots the creature and Elisa, who both appear to die. However, the creature heals himself and slashes Strickland 's throat, killing him. As police arrive on the scene with Zelda, the creature takes Elisa and jumps into the canal, where, deep under water, he heals her. When he applies his healing touch to the scars on her neck, they open to reveal gills like his. In a closing voice - over narration, Giles conveys his belief that Elisa lived `` happily ever after '' with the creature.

Production ( edit ) This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. ( March 2018 ) The Gill - man in Creature from the Black Lagoon was an inspiration to del Toro 's concept. The idea for The Shape of Water formed during del Toro 's breakfast with Daniel Kraus in 2011, with whom he later co-wrote the novel Trollhunters. It shows similarities to the 2015 short film The Space Between Us. It was also primarily inspired by del Toro 's childhood memories of seeing Creature from the Black Lagoon and wanting to see the Gill - man and Kay Lawrence ( played by Julie Adams ) succeed in their romance. When del Toro was in talks with Universal to direct a remake of Creature from the Black Lagoon, he tried pitching a version focused more on the creature 's perspective, where the Creature ended up together with the female lead, but the studio executives rejected the concept. Del Toro set the film during the 1960s Cold War era to counteract today 's heightened tensions, specifying, `` if I say once upon a time in 1962, it becomes a fairy tale for troubled times. People can lower their guard a little bit more and listen to the story and listen to the characters and talk about the issues, rather than the circumstances of the issues. '' Filming began on August 15, 2016, in Toronto and Hamilton, Ontario, and wrapped on November 6, 2016. In an interview with IndieWire about the film, del Toro said, `` This movie is a healing movie for me... For nine movies I rephrased the fears of my childhood, the dreams of my childhood, and this is the first time I speak as an adult, about something that worries me as an adult. I speak about trust, otherness, sex, love, where we 're going. These are not concerns that I had when I was nine or seven.

'' On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 87 out of 100, based on 53 critics, indicating `` universal acclaim ''. According to CinemaScore, audience members under the age of 40 gave the film an average grade of either `` A + '' or `` A '', while those over 40 gave it an `` A '' or `` A − '', on an A+ to F scale ; PostTrak reported filmgoers gave the film an overall positive score of 80 %. Ben Croll of IndieWire gave the film an ' A ' rating and called it `` one of del Toro 's most stunningly successful works... also a powerful vision of a creative master feeling totally, joyously free. '' Writing for Rolling Stone, Peter Travers gave the film 3.5 out of 4 stars, praising Hawkins 's performance, the cinematography and del Toro 's direction, and saying : `` Even as the film plunges into torment and tragedy, the core relationship between these two unlikely lovers holds us in thrall. Del Toro is a world - class film artist. There 's no sense trying to analyze how he does it. '' For the Minnesota Daily, Haley Bennett reacted positively, writing, `` The Shape of Water has tenderness uncommon to del Toro films... While The Shape of Water is n't groundbreaking, it is elegant and mesmerizing. '' Conversely, Rex Reed of the New York Observer gave the film 1 out of 4 stars and calling it `` a loopy, lunkheaded load of drivel '' and, referring to Hawkins 's role in Maudie, described people with disabilities as `` defective creatures. '' Reed 's review was criticized for referring to Sally Hawkins ' mute character as `` mentally handicapped '' and for erroneously crediting actor Benicio del Toro as the film 's director.

It won in four categories : Best Production Design, Best Original Score, Best Director, and Best Picture. The film also spawned some debate about whether the fact that it was filmed in Canada, with a predominantly Canadian crew and many Canadian actors in the supporting roles, should have made it eligible to be nominated for the Canadian Screen Awards. Under Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television rules, to qualify for CSA nominations under the rules for international coproductions at least 15 per cent of a film 's funding must come from a Canadian film studio. Even the film 's Canadian co-producer, J. Miles Dale, stated that he supports the rules and does not believe the film should have been eligible. Lawsuit alleging Plagiarism ( edit ) In February 2018, the estate of Paul Zindel initiated a lawsuit in United States District Court for the Central District of California against director Guillermo del Toro and associate producer Daniel Kraus, alleging that The Shape of Water `` brazenly copies the story, elements, characters, and themes '' of Zindel 's 1969 work Let Me Hear You Whisper, which depicts a cleaning lady bonding with a dolphin and attempting to rescue it from a secret research laboratory 's nefarious uses. The complaint spends more than a dozen pages detailing alleged `` overwhelming similarities '' between the works. Del Toro denied the claim of the Zindel estate, saying that `` I have never read nor seen the play. I 'd never heard of this play before making The Shape of Water, and none of my collaborators ever mentioned the play. '' Distributor Fox Searchlight also denied the claim and said that it would `` vigorously defend '' itself in court. References ( edit ) ^ Jump up to : `` The Shape of Water ''. tiff.

( November 2012 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Vouching is a technical term, which refers to the inspection of documentary evidence supporting and substantiating a transaction, by an auditor. It is the essence of Auditing It is the practice followed in an audit, with the objective of establishing the authenticity of the transactions recorded in the primary books of account. It essentially consists of verifying a transaction recorded in the books of account with the relevant documentary evidence and the authority on the basis of which the entry has been made ; also confirming that the amount mentioned in the voucher has been posted to an appropriate account which would disclose the nature of the transaction on its inclusion in the final statements of account. Vouching does not include valuation. Vouching can be described as the essence or backbone of auditing. The success of an audit depends on the thoroughness with which vouching is done. After entering in all vouchers, only then can auditing start. Vouching is defined as the `` verification of entries in the books of account by examination of documentary evidence or vouchers, such as invoices, debit and credit notes, statements, receipts, etc. The object of vouching is to establish that the transactions recorded in the books of accounts are ( 1 ) in order and have been properly authorized and ( 2 ) are correctly recorded. `` Simple routine checking can not establish the same accuracy that vouching can. In routine checking, entries recorded in the books only show what information the bookkeeper chooses to disclose, however these entries can be fictitious without any vouching or vouchers. By using a vouching or a voucher system a company will have concrete and solid documentation and evidence of expenses, capital, and written proof in audits. Vouching is the essence or backbone of auditing because when performing an audit, an auditor must have proof of all transactions. Without the proof provided by vouching, the claims provided by the auditor are just that, only claims. In most cases, hard to detect frauds can only be discovered through the use of vouching. This means that the auditor must conduct vouching with great importance, if not, he can be charged with negligence which happened in the case of Armitage v. Brewer and Knott. Through this case, the importance of vouching was realized. In this case, the auditors were found to be guilty on negligence, because the auditors did not display enough reasonable care and skill in vouching the wage sheets and ended up failing to detect fraud in manipulation of these wage records and cash vouchers. When delivering the decision the Judge stated that `` It was clear that a good many documents were suspicious on either face and called for Inquiry ''. It was declared that it was essential that due care and attention are to be given to vouching in auditing.

Some computer files were stolen, and security camera tapes identify the perpetrator as Jack Hyde, Ana 's former boss who was fired for sexual assault. Meanwhile, Ana is introduced to her new personal security team. Christian surprises Ana with a new house and has hired architect Gia Matteo to rebuild it. Ana is dismayed when Gia, an attractive young woman, openly flirts with Christian in Ana 's presence. Ana privately threatens to dismiss Gia if she continues her flirtatious behavior, forcing her to stop. When Christian is away on a business trip, Ana disregards his wishes that she stay at home, and goes out for a drink with her friend, Kate Kavanagh. Kate, who is dating Christian 's younger brother, Elliot, confides to Ana that their relationship may be fizzling ; Elliot is working closely with Gia, the architect, and Kate is suspicious about their relationship. When Ana returns home, she encounters Jack Hyde, who holds her hostage and attempts to kidnap her. Ana 's security team subdue him and he is arrested. After an argument with Christian about her having sneaked out to see Kate, Ana berates Christian for being overly controlling and possessive and demands more freedom. Soon after, Christian surprises Ana with a trip to Aspen, bringing along Kate, Elliot, Mia, and José. Christian and Ana continue with their erotic sexual experimentation, but matters become complicated when Ana announces she is pregnant. Christian is deeply disturbed, saying he had other plans for their early years together. He leaves, going on a night - long drunken bender. The next day, Ana discovers that Christian had recently contacted his ex-lover and former BDSM dominant, Elena Lincoln. Meanwhile, Jack Hyde is released on a $500,000 bail. After some days, mayhem erupts when Jack Hyde phones Ana demanding a ransom for Mia, Christian 's abducted sister. Hyde demands $5,000,000 in cash in two hours or Mia will be killed. He warns Ana to tell no one and to bring the money alone. Ana takes some cash and a revolver from the house safe, then goes to the bank to withdraw the full amount. The suspicious bank manager calls Christian. He thinks Ana is leaving him but then notes the coincidence of Hyde 's recent release and Ana 's sudden large cash withdrawal. Hyde instructs Ana to get into a car parked in the alley and to hand over her phone to the driver to discard. Ana tricks Hyde by taking the bank manager 's phone. She exits the back entrance to discover that the driver and Jack 's accomplice is her co-worker, Liz. She is the woman who drove the car that chased them down. Ana arrives at the drop - off site with the money. Hyde, psychotic and vengeful, attacks Ana, kicking her in the abdomen. Liz tries to stop Jack as Ana pulls out the revolver and shoots Hyde in the leg. Christian and his security team, who electronically tracked Ana 's cell phone, arrive and apprehend Hyde and Liz. Ana blacks out as she hears Christian calling her. Ana awakens three days later in the hospital with Christian at her side. Though angry at Ana 's recklessness and still anxious about fatherhood, Christian realizes how important their baby is to her, and they reconcile. Christian 's adoptive mother, Grace, convinces Christian that Ana will not leave him. Ana returns home the next day. Christian 's private investigator, Welch, reports that Christian and Hyde shared the same foster family. It is also learned that Hyde blackmailed Liz into being his accomplice. Christian and Ana later locate where Christian 's birth mother is buried ; they visit and Christian lays flowers on her grave. Two years later, Christian and Ana have had their child who they have named Teddy. Ana is now pregnant with their second child. They play with their son in the yard of their mansion.

In the United States and Canada, Fifty Shades Freed was released alongside Peter Rabbit and The 15 : 17 to Paris, and was projected to gross $37 -- 40 million from 3,700 theaters in its opening weekend. It made $5.6 million from Thursday night previews, down 2 % from the $5.7 million made by Darker the previous year. It ended up making $38.8 million over the weekend, the lowest of the trilogy but still enough to take first place at the box office. Worldwide, the film was expected to make $80 -- 90 million from 57 countries, including France, Germany, the UK, Australia, Brazil, Mexico and Japan, in its first three days for a worldwide debut of $113 -- 130 million. It ended up grossing $98.1 million from overseas for global debut of $136.9 million ; it marked a 7 % decrease from the previous film but still finished first in 54 of the 57 markets. Its leading countries were Germany ( $10.7 million ), the United Kingdom ( $8.8 million ) and France ( $8.7 million ). Critical response ( edit ) On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 12 % based on 122 reviews, and an average rating of 3.2 / 10. The website 's critical consensus reads, `` Fifty Shades Freed brings its titillating trilogy to a clumsy conclusion, making for a film franchise that adds up to a distinctly dissatisfying ménage à trois. '' On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 31 out of 100 based on 41 critics, indicating `` generally unfavorable reviews. '' Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of `` B + '' on an A+ to F scale, the same score earned by Darker, while comScore reported that 56 % of females ( who made up 81 % of the opening weekend ) gave the film a `` definite recommend ''. Writing for Variety, Guy Lodge was critical of the film, saying `` Indeed, a sex - free, PG - 13 version of Freed could be cut without shedding a second of narrative coherence, such as it is ; one could ask what the point of that would be, though similar queries might be leveled at the film as it stands. '' Rolling Stone 's Peter Travers gave the film zero out of four, stating `` With this last entry, we have officially hit the bottom of the barrel. Whips, chains, butt plugs and nipple clips are nothing compared to the sheer torture of watching this movie. '' Robbie Collins from The Telegraph gave the film one out of five stars, and wrote `` This is a film in which one of the more emotionally detailed performances is given by a product - placement Audi. '' Jeannette Catsoulis writing for The New York Times found the film to be significantly inferior to Kim Basinger 's 91⁄2 Weeks stating : `` Layering a damp - squib thriller subplot beneath what appears to be an ad campaign for the one - percent lifestyle, the returning director and screenwriter test the newly married couple with an inconvenient pregnancy and an unconvincing car chase. There 's an out - of - left - field abduction and a marital tiff over email addresses ; but these narrative fragments, lazily tossed together alongside a neglected supporting cast, are no more than a flimsy causeway connecting bonking sessions. '' Conversely, IndieWire reviewer Manuela Lazic gave the film three out of four stars, saying `` Finally, the Fifty Shades phenomenon has yielded a disarming comedy that makes this ridiculous material fun to watch.

Compare `` crossing the Rubicon ''. Examples ( edit ) There is a common motif in Russian folk tales, where a vityaz ( Russian knight ) comes to a fork in the road and sees a menhir with an inscription that reads : `` If you ride to the left, you will lose your horse, if you ride to the right, you will lose your head ''. The phrase appears in the Book of Ezekiel ( Ezekiel 21 : 19 -- 23 NRSV ). `` Mortal, mark out two roads for the sword of the king of Babylon to come ; both of them shall issue from the same land. And make a signpost, make it for a fork in the road leading to a city ; mark out the road for the sword to come to Rabbah of the Ammonites or to Judah and to Jerusalem the fortified. A fork in the road is mused upon by Robert Frost in his poem `` The Road Not Taken '', which begins, `` Two roads diverged in a yellow wood...

Kansas City lost in the ALDS to the Oakland Athletics Front office Owner ( s ) David Glass Manager Ned Yost General Manager Dayton Moore President of Baseball Operations Dan Glass The Kansas City Royals are an American professional baseball team based in Kansas City, Missouri. The Royals compete in Major League Baseball ( MLB ) as a member team of the American League ( AL ) Central division. The team was founded as an expansion franchise in 1969, and has participated in four World Series, winning in 1985 and 2015, and losing in 1980 and 2014. The name Royals originates from the American Royal, a livestock show, horse show, rodeo, and championship barbeque competition held annually in Kansas City since 1899. The name also fits into something of a theme for other professional sports franchises in the city, including the Kansas City Chiefs of the NFL, the former Kansas City Kings of the NBA, and the former Kansas City Monarchs of the Negro National League. In 1968, the team held a name - the - team contest that received more than 17,000 entries. Sanford Porte, a bridge engineer from the suburb of Overland Park, Kansas was named the winner for his `` Royals '' entry. His reason had nothing to do with royalty. `` Kansas City 's new baseball team should be called the Royals because of Missouri 's billion - dollar livestock income, Kansas City 's position as the nation 's leading stocker and feeder market and the nationally known American Royal parade and pageant, '' Porte wrote. The team 's board voted 6 - 1 on the name, with the only opposition coming from team owner Ewing Kauffman, who eventually changed his vote and said the name had grown on him. Entering the American League in 1969 along with the Seattle Pilots, the club was founded by Kansas City businessman Ewing Kauffman. The franchise was established following the actions of Stuart Symington, then - United States Senator from Missouri, who demanded a new franchise for the city after the Athletics ( Kansas City 's previous major league team that played from 1955 to 1967 ) moved to Oakland, California in 1968. Since April 10, 1973, the Royals have played at Kauffman Stadium, formerly known as Royals Stadium. The new team quickly became a powerhouse, appearing in the playoffs seven times from 1976 to 1985, winning one World Series championship and another AL pennant, led by stars such as Amos Otis, Hal McRae, John Mayberry, George Brett, Frank White, Willie Wilson, and Bret Saberhagen. The team remained competitive throughout the early 1990s, but then had only one winning season from 1995 to 2012. For 28 consecutive seasons ( 1986 -- 2013 ), the Royals did not qualify to play in the Major League Baseball postseason, one of the longest postseason droughts during baseball 's current wild - card era. The team broke this streak in 2014 by securing the franchise 's first wild card berth and advancing to the World Series. The Royals followed this up by winning the team 's first Central Division title in 2015 and defeating the Mets for their first World Series title in 30 years.

In their inaugural game, on April 8, 1969, the Royals defeated the Minnesota Twins 4 -- 3 in 12 innings. The Royals wore their trademark powder blue road uniforms from 1973 to 1991 and reintroduced it in 2008 as an alternate jersey. The team was quickly built through a number of trades engineered by its first General Manager, Cedric Tallis, including a trade for Lou Piniella, who won the Rookie of the Year during the Royals ' inaugural season, center fielder Amos Otis, who became the team 's first great star, first baseman John Mayberry, who provided power, second baseman Cookie Rojas, shortstop Fred Patek, designated hitter Hal McRae, and others. The Royals also invested in a strong farm system and soon developed such future stars as pitchers Paul Splittorff, Dennis Leonard, and Steve Busby, infielders George Brett and Frank White, and outfielder Al Cowens. In 1971, the Royals had their first winning season, with manager Bob Lemon leading them to a second - place finish. In 1973, under manager Jack McKeon, the Royals adopted their iconic `` powder blue '' road uniforms and moved from Municipal Stadium to the brand - new Royals Stadium ( now known as Kauffman Stadium ). The 1973 All - Star Game was hosted at Royals Stadium, with Otis and Mayberry in the AL starting lineup. The event was previously held at Municipal Stadium in 1960, when the Athletics were based in Kansas City. Manager Whitey Herzog replaced McKeon in 1975, and the Royals quickly became the dominant franchise in the American League 's Western Division, winning three straight division championships from 1976 to 1978. However, the Royals lost to the New York Yankees in three straight American League Championship Series encounters. 1980 -- 1984 : from pennant to Pine Tar Incident ( edit ) After the Royals finished in second place in 1979, Herzog was fired and replaced by Jim Frey. Under Frey, the Royals rebounded in 1980 and advanced to the ALCS, where they again faced the Yankees. The Royals vanquished the Yankees in a three - game sweep punctuated by a George Brett home run off of Yankees ' star relief pitcher Goose Gossage. After reaching their first World Series, the Royals fell to the Philadelphia Phillies in six games. Game 6 was also significant because it remains the most - watched game in World Series history with a television audience of 54.9 million viewers. The baseball bat used by third baseman George Brett in the `` Pine Tar Incident '' on July 24, 1983 In July 1983, while the Royals were headed for a second - place finish behind the Chicago White Sox another chapter in the team 's rivalry with the New York Yankees occurred. In what has come to be known as `` the Pine Tar Incident '', umpires discovered illegal placement of pine tar ( more than 18 inches up the handle ) on third baseman George Brett 's bat after he had hit a two - run home run off Gossage that put the Royals up 5 -- 4 in the top of the 9th. After Yankee Manager Billy Martin came out of the dugout to talk to home plate umpire Tim McClelland, McClelland and the other umpires mulled over the bat ( measuring it over home plate, touching it, etc. ). McClelland then pointed to Brett in the dugout and gave the `` out '' sign, disallowing the home run. Enraged, Brett stormed out of the dugout toward McClelland and Martin, and McClelland ejected Brett. The homer was later reinstated by AL President Lee MacPhail, and the Royals won the game after it was resumed several weeks later. The 1983 season was also notable for some transitional changes in the Royals organization. First, owner Ewing Kauffman sold 49 % of his interest to Memphis developer Avron Fogelman. Second, John Schuerholz was named general manager. Schuerholz soon bolstered the farm system with pitchers Bud Black, Danny Jackson, Mark Gubicza, David Cone, and Bret Saberhagen, as well as hitters such as Kevin Seitzer. Thanks to the sudden and surprising maturation ( specifically, in pitching ) of most of the aforementioned players, the Royals won their fifth division championship in 1984, relying on Brett 's bat and the young pitching staff of Saberhagen, Gubicza, Charlie Leibrandt, Black and Jackson. The Royals were then swept by the Detroit Tigers in the American League Championship Series. The Tigers went on to win the World Series. 1985 : `` the I - 70 Series '' ( edit ) For more details on this topic, see 1985 Kansas City Royals season. The Commissioner 's Trophy from the 1985 World Series at Royals Stadium In the 1985 regular season the Royals topped the Western Division for the sixth time in ten years, led by Bret Saberhagen 's Cy Young Award - winning performance and George Brett 's self described best `` all around year. '' Throughout the ensuing playoffs, the Royals came back from 2 - 0 and 3 - 1 deficits, but managed to win the Series. In game three, with KC down 2 games to 0, George Brett homered twice and doubled off the fence in right field to put Kansas City back into the series. With the Royals down three - games - to - one in the American League Championship Series against the Toronto Blue Jays, the Royals eventually rallied to win the series 4 -- 3. 1985 World Series ( edit ) Main article : 1985 World Series In the 1985 World Series ( nicknamed the `` I - 70 Series '' because the two teams are both located in the state of Missouri and connected by Interstate 70 ) against the cross-state St. Louis Cardinals, the Royals again fell behind, three games to one. The key game in their comeback was Game 6. Facing elimination, the Royals trailed 1 -- 0 in the bottom of the 9th inning, before rallying to score two runs and win. 1986 -- 1994 : staying in the picture ( edit ) The Royals maintained a reputation as one of the American League West 's top teams throughout the late 1980s. The club posted a winning record in three of the four seasons following its 1985 World Series championship, while developing young stars such as Bo Jackson, Tom Gordon, and Kevin Seitzer. The Royals finished the 1989 season with a 92 -- 70 record ( third - best in the major leagues ) but did not qualify for the playoffs, finishing second in their division behind the eventual World Series champion Oakland Athletics. George Brett bats during a 1990 game at Royals Stadium. At the end of the 1989 season, the team boasted a powerhouse pitching rotation, including the AL Cy Young Award - winner Bret Saberhagen ( who set franchise record 23 wins that year ), two - time All - Star Mark Gubicza ( a 15 - game winner in 1989 ) and 1989 AL Rookie of the Year runner - up Tom Gordon ( who won 17 games that year ). But the organization felt it was still missing a few necessary pieces to give its divisional rival Oakland Athletics a run for their money. So prior to the 1990 season, the Royals acquired Mark Davis, the 1989 National League Cy Young Award - winner and league leader in saves, signing him to a 4 - year, $13 million contract ( the largest annual salary in baseball history at the time ). The Royals also signed starting pitcher Storm Davis, who was coming off a career - high 19 - game win season ( third - best in the AL ), to a three - year $6 million contract. Despite the promising off - season moves, the team suffered critical bullpen injuries while both newly signed Davises experienced lackluster seasons in 1990. The Royals concluded the season with a 75 -- 86 record, in second - to - last place in the AL West ( and with the worst franchise record since 1970 ). Bo Jackson -- the team 's potential future franchise player -- suffered a devastating hip injury while playing football in the off - season, so the Royals waived him during spring training in 1991. Though the team dropped out of contention from 1990 to 1992, the Royals still could generally be counted on to post winning records through the strike - shortened 1994 season. With no playoff appearances despite the winning records during this era, many of the team 's highlights instead centered around the end of George Brett 's career, such as his third and final batting title in 1990 -- which made him the first player to win batting titles in three different decades -- and his 3,000 th hit. 1995 -- 2002 : decline in the post-kauffman era ( edit ) At the start of the 1990s, the Royals had been hit with a double - whammy when General Manager John Schuerholz departed in 1990 and team owner Ewing Kauffman died in 1993. Shortly before Kauffman 's death, he set up an unprecedented complex succession plan to keep the team in Kansas City. The team was donated at his death to the Greater Kansas City Community Foundation and Affiliated Trusts with operating decisions of the team decided by a five - member group chaired by Wal - Mart executive David Glass. According to the plan the Royals had six years to find a local owner for the team before opening ownership to an outside bidder. The new owners would be required to say they would keep the team in Kansas City. Kauffman had feared that new owners would move it noting, `` No one would want to buy a baseball team that consistently loses millions of dollars and had little prospect of making money because it was in a small city. '' If no owner could be found the Kauffman restrictions were to end on January 1, 2002 and the team was to be sold to the highest bidder. In 1999, New York City lawyer and minor league baseball owner Miles Prentice, vowing not to move the team, bid $75 million for the team. This was the minimum amount Kauffman had stipulated the team could be sold for. MLB rejected Prentice 's first bid without specifying any reason. In a final round of bids on March 13, 2000, the Foundation voted to accept Glass ' bid of $96 million, rejecting Prentice 's revised bid of $115 million. During the interregnum under Foundation ownership, the team declined. In 1994 season, the Royals reduced payroll by trading pitcher David Cone and outfielder Brian McRae, then continued their salary dump in the 1995 season. The team payroll, which had previously remained among the league 's highest, was sliced in half from $40.5 million in 1994 ( fourth - highest in the major leagues ) to $18.5 million in 1996 ( second - lowest in the major leagues ). As attendance slid and the average MLB salary continued to rise, rather than pay higher salaries or lose their players to free agency, the Royals traded their remaining stars such as Kevin Appier, Johnny Damon and Jermaine Dye. By 1999, the team 's payroll had fallen again to $16.5 million. Making matters worse, most of the younger players that the Royals received in exchange for these All - Stars proved of little value, setting the stage for an extended downward spiral. Indeed, the Royals set a franchise low with a. 398 winning percentage ( 64 -- 97 record ) in 1999, and lost 97 games again in 2001. In the middle of this era, in 1997, the Royals declined the opportunity to switch to the National League as part of a realignment plan to introduce the Arizona Diamondbacks and Tampa Bay Devil Rays as expansion teams. The Milwaukee Brewers made the switch instead. In 2002, the Royals set a new team record for futility, losing 100 games for the first time in franchise history. They fired manager Tony Muser, and he was replaced by Tony Peña. 2003 : a winning season ( edit ) The 2003 season saw a temporary end to the losing, when manager Tony Peña, in his first full season with the club, guided the team to its first winning record ( 83 -- 79 ) since 1994 and finished in third place in the AL Central. He was named the American League Manager of the Year for his efforts and shortstop Ángel Berroa was named AL Rookie of the Year. Gil Meche pitching in 2008 2004 -- 2008 : rock bottom ( edit ) From the 2004 season through the 2012 season, the Royals posted nine consecutive losing records -- the longest streak in team history. In six of those seasons the team finished in last place in the American League Central, and in eight of those nine seasons the team also lost at least 90 games. The worst seasons came in 2004 -- 2006, when the Royals lost at least 100 games each year and set the franchise 's all - time record for losses ( 56 -- 106 in 2005 ). Picked by many to win their division in 2004 after faring well in the free agent market, the Royals got off to a disappointing start and by late June were back in a rebuilding mode, releasing veteran reliever Curtis Leskanic and trading veteran reliever Jason Grimsley and superstar center fielder Carlos Beltrán for prospects, all within a week of each other. The team subsequently fell apart completely, losing 104 games and breaking the franchise record set just two years earlier. The Royals did, however, see promising seasons from two rookies, center fielder David DeJesus and starting pitcher Zack Greinke. The team continued a youth movement in 2005, but finished with a 56 -- 106 record (. 346 ), a full 43 games out of first place, marking the third time in four seasons that the team reestablished the mark for worst record in franchise history. The season also saw the Royals lose a franchise record 19 games in a row. During the season manager Tony Peña quit and was replaced by interim manager Bob Schaefer until the Indians ' bench coach Buddy Bell was chosen as the next manager. Looking for a quick turnaround, general manager Allard Baird signed several veteran players prior to the 2006 season, including Doug Mientkiewicz, Mark Grudzielanek, Joe Mays and Scott Elarton. Nevertheless, the Royals struggled through another 100 - loss season in 2006, becoming just the eleventh team in major league history to lose 100 games in three straight seasons. During the season Baird was fired as GM and replaced by Dayton Moore. Kansas City entered the 2007 season looking to rebound from four out of five seasons ending with at least 100 losses. The Royals outbid the Cubs and Blue Jays for free agent righty Gil Meche, signing him to five - year, $55 million contract, the largest contract in Royals history. Reliever Octavio Dotel also inked a one - year, $5 million contract. The team also added several new prospects, including Alex Gordon and Billy Butler. Among Dayton Moore 's first acts as General Manager was instating a new motto for the team : `` True. Blue. Tradition. '' In June 2007, the Royals had their first winning month since July 2003, and followed it up with a winning July. The Royals finished the season 69 -- 93, but 2007 marked the club 's first season with fewer than 100 losses since 2003. Manager Buddy Bell resigned following the 2007 season. The Royals hired Trey Hillman, formerly the manager of the Nippon Ham Fighters and a minor league manager with the New York Yankees, to be the 15th manager in franchise history. The 2008 season began with the release of fan favorite Mike Sweeney and the trade of Ángel Berroa to the Dodgers. Through 13 games in 2008, the Royals were 8 -- 5 and in first place in the AL Central, a vast improvement over their start from the previous season. However, by the All - Star break, the Royals were again in losing territory, with their record buoyed only by a 13 -- 5 record in interleague play, the best in the American League. The team finished the season in fourth place with a 75 -- 87 record. 2009 -- 2012 : Kauffman renovations and further rebuilding ( edit ) Kauffman Stadium underwent renovations in 2009, including the addition of a high - definition scoreboard. Zack Greinke did not allow an earned run in the first 24 innings of the 2009 season. Prior to the 2009 season, the Royals renovated Kauffman Stadium. After the season began, the Royals ended April at the top of the AL Central, all of which raised excitement levels among fans. However, the team faded as the season progressed and finished the year with a final record of 65 -- 97, in a fourth place tie in its division. The season was highlighted by starter Zack Greinke, who did not allow an earned run in the first 24 innings of the season, went on to finish the year with a Major League - leading 2.16 earned run average, and won the American League Cy Young Award. Greinke joined Bret Saberhagen ( in 1985 and 1989 ) and David Cone ( in 1994 ) as the only three players in Royals history to receive the award. The Royals began the 2010 season with a rocky start, and after the team 's record fell to 12 -- 23, manager Trey Hillman was fired. Former Milwaukee Brewers skipper Ned Yost took over as manager. At the end of the 2010 season, the Royals finished with a 67 -- 95 record, in last place in the division for the sixth time in seven years. The Royals also set a dubious franchise record during the season, allowing 42 runs in a three - day span from July 25 to 27. The Royals began 2011 with a hot start with a 10 -- 4 record after 14 games, but success faded as the season progressed. The Royals last had a. 500 record at 22 -- 22, and by the All - Star break, the Royals had a record of 37 -- 54, the worst in the American League. Almost all of the Royals ' bullpen was called up in 2011 and the call up of the infielders Eric Hosmer, Mike Moustakas, Manny Piña, Johnny Giavotella, and Salvador Pérez. Hosmer won the AL Rookie of the Month award in July and September and finished the season with 19 home runs. Moustakas collected a fifteen - game hitting streak, which tied the largest such streak by a Royal rookie. The Royals finished the 2011 season with a 71 -- 91 record. The 2012 team saw more of the same, as they improved by one game to 72 -- 90. The 2012 Major League Baseball All - Star Game was hosted by the Royals at Kauffman Stadium on July 10, 2012 ( in addition to the 2012 Home Run Derby, All - Star Futures Game and Taco Bell All - Star Legends and Celebrity Softball Game during the All - Star break ), which the National League won 8 -- 0. The 2012 season marked the third time the `` Midsummer Classic '' was held in Kansas City. 2013 : return to respectability ( edit ) On December 10, 2012, in an attempt to strengthen the pitching staff ( which was among the worst in baseball in 2012 ), the Royals traded for Rays pitchers James Shields and Wade Davis giving Tampa top prospects Wil Myers, Jake Odorizzi, Mike Montgomery, and Patrick Leonard. This trade helped catalyze a return to winning records. In the 2013 season, the Royals remained over. 500 nearly most of April during regular season play. The team also did not commit an error in its first seven games ( for ​ 64 ⁄ innings ) for the first time in team history. On September 22, the Royals won their 82nd game of the season to clinch the franchise 's first winning season since 2003. The Royals finished the season 86 -- 76, securing the team 's best winning percentage since 1994. 2014 : return to the World Series ( edit ) The 2014 season was even more successful, featuring a return to the postseason for the first time in 29 years, and what would unfold as a historic playoff run to the 2014 World Series. Entering the 2014 season, the Royals had the longest playoff drought of any team in the four main American professional sports leagues ( NFL, MLB, NHL, and NBA ). On July 21, 2014, the Royals had a losing record ( 48 -- 50 ) and were eight games behind the Detroit Tigers in the AL Central standings. But spurred by a 22 -- 5 record from July 22 to August 19 coinciding with a mediocre 12 - 15 stretch by the Tigers, the team surged into first - place in the AL Central. The Royals reached the top of the division standings on August 11, after winning their eighth game in a row. This marked the latest date the Royals had led their division since August 29, 2003. The team retained its division lead for a month, before falling out of first - place permanently on September 12. They finished the 2014 regular season with a record 89 -- 73, still the most wins for the Royals since 1989. Though the team finished one game behind Detroit in the AL Central, the Royals secured their first - ever wild card berth. After qualifying for the postseason, the Royals embarked on a record - setting eight - game winning streak. They hosted the Oakland Athletics in the 2014 American League Wild Card Game and won 9 -- 8 on a Salvador Pérez walk - off single in the 12th inning, having earlier rallied back from a 7 -- 3 deficit in the eighth. The Royals then swept the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in the 2014 American League Division Series. In Game 1 of the ALDS, the score was 2 -- 2 going into the 11th inning, when Mike Moustakas hit a game - winning solo home run. The next day, Kansas City beat the Angels 4 -- 1 in another extra-innings affair, in the process setting an MLB postseason record of three straight extra-inning wins. The Royals then completed the sweep at home, winning 8 -- 3 in game three and advancing to the 2014 American League Championship Series against the Baltimore Orioles. In the opening game of the ALCS on October 11, 2014, the Royals defeated the Orioles 8 -- 6, with two home runs in the 10th inning. Thus, in eight extra innings over five postseason games in 2014, they succeeded in hitting four homers in extra innings, more than any team in the history of Major League Baseball. In the second ALCS game, the Royals again beat the Orioles 6 -- 4, behind Lorenzo Cain 's four hits, including an RBI single. After game three, the ALCS was delayed one day due to rainy weather, when the Royals hosted the Orioles at Kauffman Stadium on October 14, 2014. Pitcher Jeremy Guthrie allowed only one run as KC beat the Orioles 2 -- 1, taking a 3 -- 0 lead in the series. In Game four, the Royals completed the sweep of the Orioles with another 2 -- 1 win to advance to the World Series for the first time since 1985. The win marked the team 's eighth consecutive postseason win in one year, breaking a major league record previously held by the Colorado Rockies in 2007 and Cincinnati Reds in 1976. It also marked the Royals ' 11th win in a row overall in postseason play, dating back to the franchise 's final three wins of the 1985 Series, the third - longest multi-year postseason streak in baseball history. See also : 2014 World Series The Royals faced the San Francisco Giants in the 2014 World Series. They had home - field advantage, due to the American League 's win in the 2014 All - Star Game. After setting an AL record by winning eight straight games to reach the World Series, the Royals opened the series by losing 7 -- 1 in the first game against starter Madison Bumgarner. The Royals bounced back with a 7 -- 2 win in game two to tie the series at 1 -- 1. The Royals won game three in San Francisco 3 - 2 to take the series lead for the first time. In game four, the Royals lost 11 - 4, which tied the series with the Giants. In game five, they lost 5 - 0 to the Giants against starter Madison Bumgarner. In game six, the Royals beat the Giants 10 - 0. In game seven, the Royals started RHP Jeremy Guthrie against Giants pitcher Tim Hudson. Guthrie lasted ​ 3 ⁄ innings before he was replaced by Kelvin Herrera, who himself lasted ​ 2 ⁄ innings. He was then replaced by Wade Davis, who pitched in two innings. Closer Greg Holland ended the game. On the Giants side, Hudson lasted only ​ 1 ⁄ innings before he was replaced by Jeremy Affeldt, who was later replaced by Madison Bumgarner. The Royals lost game seven, 3 -- 2, with the tying run ( Alex Gordon ) on third base in the bottom of the ninth with two outs, when Salvador Pérez fouled out to Pablo Sandoval to end the game and the series. 2015 : World Series champions ( edit ) See also : 2015 World Series Royals celebrating winning the 2015 World Series After earning a wild - card entry to the playoffs in 2014, in 2015 the Royals won the franchise 's first division title since 1985 and first Central division title ever ( the Central was created in 1994 ). The Royals went on to win the 2015 World Series -- the first championship for the Royals since 1985 -- beating the New York Mets four games to one. The Royals entered the 2015 All - Star break with the best record in the American League ( 52 -- 34 ). The team continued its momentum into the second half of the season, and on July 26, Royals management traded three prospects Brandon Finnegan, John Lamb, and Cody Reed for 2014 All - Star pitcher Johnny Cueto to help bolster its starting pitching rotation, as well as trading for super-utility player Ben Zobrist. The team ended the regular season with a record of 95 -- 67, best in the American League, and the organization 's best since 1980. The Royals faced the Houston Astros in the ALDS. Down 2 -- 1 in the series and trailing 6 -- 2 in the 8th inning of Game 4, the Royals rallied for 5 runs en route to a 9 -- 6 win before Cueto 's gem in Game 5 powered the Royals to a second consecutive ALCS. The Royals defeated the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 6, to win the 2015 ALCS and earn a trip to face the New York Mets in the 2015 World Series. The Royals beat the New York Mets 4 games to 1 to become the 2015 World Series champions. It was the Royals ' first World Series title since 1985. The series win was sealed after the Royals beat the Mets 7 - 2 in the 12th inning of Game 5. The Royals rallied in the 9th inning down 2 - 0 to tie the score 2 - 2, forcing the game into extra innings. The five - run 12th inning was initiated by a Perez single and Dyson pinch - running for him. This was followed by a single from Christian Colon, doubles from both Alcides Escobar and Lorenzo Cain, scoring runs from Jarrod Dyson, Colon, Paulo Orlando ( who reached base on an error by Daniel Murphy ), Escobar and Ben Zobrist ( who was intentionally walked ). Wade Davis, who had n't allowed a run yet that postseason, closed out the game with a flawless 12th, allowing a hit and striking out Wilmer Flores to end the game and win the World Series for the Royals. Rivalries ( edit ) St. Louis Cardinals ( edit ) Main article : Cardinals -- Royals rivalry The Royals ' most prominent rivalry is with the intrastate St. Louis Cardinals. For geographic reasons, the teams long played exhibition games, but a true rivalry began with the Royals ' victory over the Cardinals in the 1985 World Series, known as the `` I - 70 Series. '' Notably, the manager for the Cardinals in the series was Whitey Herzog, who had been the Royals ' manager from 1975 to 1979, and led Kansas City to the franchise 's first three playoff appearances -- in 1976, 1977, and 1978 -- before getting fired just shortly after the Royals were eliminated from the playoffs in 1979. Interleague play in 1997 allowed the I - 70 Series to be revived in non-exhibition games. The first few seasons of the series were rather even, with the Cardinals holding a slight advantage with a 14 -- 13 record through the 2003 season. Through the 2016 season, the Cardinals hold the series advantage 51 -- 39. Historic rivalry ( edit ) From 1976 to 1980, the Royals faced the New York Yankees four times in five years in the American League Championship Series. The Yankees won in 1976, 1977 and 1978, while the Royals won in 1980. In a 2013 article about the 1983 Pine Tar Incident involving the two teams, Lou Pinella said : `` As a team, we did n't really like Kansas City. We had played them in the ' 76, ' 77 and ' 78 postseason and beaten them every time. There was no love lost between the teams. We did n't like each other. They were our big rivals... '' George Brett agreed : `` I hated everyone on the Yankees, I really did. I hated ' em all, back in that era.

The show chronicles the events of widowed father, Danny Tanner, who enlists his brother - in - law and best friend to help raise his three daughters. It aired from September 22, 1987, to May 23, 1995, broadcasting eight seasons and 192 episodes. While never a critical favorite, the series was consistently in the Nielsen Top 30 ( from 1988 onward ) and gained even more popularity in syndicated reruns. It has also had tie - in merchandise marketed, such as a series of paperback books. A sequel series, Fuller House, premiered on Netflix on February 26, 2016.

Over time, the three men as well as the children bond and become closer to one another. In season two, Danny is reassigned from his duties as sports anchor by his television station to become co-host of a local morning television show, Wake Up, San Francisco, and is teamed up with Nebraska native Rebecca Donaldson. Jesse and Becky eventually fall in love and get married in season four. In season five, Becky gives birth to twin sons, Nicky and Alex. Main cast ( edit ) Main article : List of Full House and Fuller House characters John Stamos as Jesse Katsopolis Bob Saget as Danny Tanner Dave Coulier as Joey Gladstone Candace Cameron as D.J. Tanner Jodie Sweetin as Stephanie Tanner Mary - Kate and Ashley Olsen as Michelle Tanner Lori Loughlin as Rebecca Donaldson Katsopolis Andrea Barber as Kimmy Gibbler Scott Weinger as Steve Hale Blake and Dylan Tuomy - Wilhoit as Nicky and Alex Katsopolis Jump up ^ The character 's surname was changed from `` Cochran '' to `` Katsopolis '' after the first season ended. Production ( edit ) Casting ( edit ) John Posey as Danny Tanner in the pilot ( shown with Sweetin and Cameron as Stephanie and D.J. ) The producers ' first choice to play the character of Danny Tanner was Bob Saget. Saget was not available to appear in the pilot due to his commitment as an on - air contributor to CBS 's The Morning Program. The producers instead cast actor John Posey to play Danny. Posey only appeared in the unaired pilot ( which is included on the DVD release of Season 1 ). John Stamos 's character was originally named Jesse Cochran ; Stamos reportedly wanted his character to better reflect his Greek heritage, so producers decided to change the character 's surname to Katsopolis ( beginning with season two ). To comply with child labor laws, twins Ashley and Mary - Kate Olsen were cast to alternate in the role of Michelle during tapings. The girls were jointly credited as `` Mary Kate Ashley Olsen '' in seasons two through seven because the producers did not want audiences to know that the Michelle character was played by twins. ( In an occasional running gag, both twins would occasionally appear together in fantasy sequences. ) All six of the original cast members remained with the show through its entire eight - year run, with five characters added to the cast along the way. Kimmy Gibbler, a recurring character in seasons one through four, was upgraded to a regular in season five. Rebecca Donaldson ( later Katsopolis ) originally appeared for six episodes in season two as Danny 's co-host on Wake Up, San Francisco ; producers decided to expand her role and made her a regular the following season. Nicky and Alex Katsopolis, the twin sons of Jesse and Rebecca, made their debut in season five. As babies, the children were played by Daniel and Kevin Renteria, and in season six, the roles of the twins were succeeded by Blake and Dylan Tuomy - Wilhoit. The last character added was Steve Hale, who was D.J. 's boyfriend in seasons six and seven. He returned in the second half of the series finale after Kimmy set him up with D.J. to be her date for the senior prom. He was played by Scott Weinger. Comet, the family dog, was played by a golden retriever named Buddy. Buddy later appeared in the original Air Bud ( 1997 ) before dying of lung cancer at the age of nine. Taping ( edit ) The series was created by Jeff Franklin and executive produced by Franklin, along with Thomas L. Miller and Robert L. Boyett. The series was produced by Jeff Franklin Productions and Miller - Boyett Productions, in association with Lorimar - Telepictures ( 1987 -- 88 ), Lorimar Television ( 1988 -- 93 ), and then by Warner Bros. Television ( 1993 -- 95 ) after Lorimar was folded into Warner Bros. 's existing television production division. Although the series was set in San Francisco, the sitcom itself was taped at the Warner Bros. Studios in Los Angeles. Outside of certain excerpts in the opening title sequences, the only episode to have actually been taped in San Francisco was the first episode of season eight, `` Comet 's Excellent Adventure ''. There were also a few episodes which were filmed on - location elsewhere, most notably Hawaii in the season three premiere `` Tanner 's Island '', and at Walt Disney World for the two - part sixth - season finale `` The House Meets the Mouse ''. The series experienced heavy turnover with its writing staff throughout its run, the first season in particular had at least three writing staff changes with Lenny Ripps ( who remained with the show until the early part of the fourth season, by then serving as a creative consultant ) and Russell Marcus being the only writers surviving the changes through the entire season. Show creator and executive producer Jeff Franklin was the only writer to remain with the series throughout its entire eight - season run ( Franklin also wrote and directed several episodes during the first five seasons ). Marc Warren and Dennis Rinsler joined the series ' writing staff in the second season as producers and remained with the show until its 1995 cancellation ; Warren and Rinsler took over as head writers by season five and assumed showrunning duties as executive producers for the sixth season to allow Franklin to focus on Hangin ' With Mr. Cooper ( Full House served as Cooper 's lead - in when the former aired on Tuesday nights during the 1992 -- 93 season ). Theme song ( edit ) The show 's theme song, `` Everywhere You Look '', was performed by Jesse Frederick, who co-wrote the song with writing partner Bennett Salvay and series creator Jeff Franklin. Various instrumental versions of the theme song were used in the closing credits ; the version used during seasons three through eight was also used in the opening credits in some early syndication runs, although the song was almost always truncated to the chorus for broadcast. Seasons one through five used a longer version of the theme song. In syndicated airings, the line `` you miss your old familiar friends, but waiting just around the bend '' replaced the lines starting with `` how did I get delivered here, somebody tell me please... '' ( after ABC Family acquired the series in 2003, it became the first television outlet to air the long versions of the theme since the series ' ABC run, which were included only in select episodes from the first five seasons, whereas the full version was used in most episodes during those seasons ). Episodes ( edit ) Main article : List of Full House episodes Full House originally aired on Fridays from September 1987 to August 1991, which spanned the show 's first four seasons, and later became the flagship program of ABC 's newly launched TGIF block in September 1989. The show was briefly moved to Tuesdays during the 1987 -- 88 season and then aired twice a week on Tuesdays and Fridays for a few months in order to help the series build an audience. It remained on Fridays permanently for the next three seasons, as the show 's ratings increased. Full House was moved to Tuesdays full - time for season five and remained there until the series ended in 1995. While the show 's first season was not very successful, mostly because it was a new series placed in an 8 p.m. Eastern timeslot ( most freshman series start out in protected time slots preceded by successful lead - ins ), the show quickly became popular during its second season as it was placed immediately following the established hit show Perfect Strangers ( which was also produced by Tom Miller and Bob Boyett ). From season three onwards, it was ranked among Nielsen 's Top 30 shows ( a ratings increase which allowed the series to move back to Fridays at 8 p.m. ). By the fourth season, the series jumped to the Top 20 and remained there until the seventh season ( the series peaked at the top ten during seasons five and six ). In 1995, despite the fact the show was still rated in the top 25, ABC announced that it was canceling the show after eight seasons due to the increasing costs of producing the series. The one - hour series finale was watched by 24.3 million viewers, ranking No. 7 for the week and attracting a 14.6 household rating and a 25 percent audience share.

( September 2012 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Warner Bros. Television Distribution handles the domestic and international syndication rights to the series. During the summer of 1991, reruns of the early seasons began airing in a daily daytime strip on NBC. Starting in September 1991, Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution began distributing Full House for broadcast in off - network syndication and was syndicated on various local stations nationwide until 2003. In 1998, Atlanta - based cable superstation TBS ( which became a general entertainment cable channel in October 2007 ) and Chicago - based superstation WGN ( which carried the series locally in the Chicago market via WGN - TV ) obtained cable rights to the series and aired the show every weekday until 2002 when it was dropped from the schedules of both networks ; the series returned to TBS on December 9, 2013. In September 2003, ABC Family acquired the series ; as a result, ABC Family became the first network since ABC to air the original extended version of the theme song, featured in select episodes of the first five seasons ; by the time ABC Family 's rights to the series expired in December 2013, the channel ran the closing credits over the last 30 seconds of the final scene, albeit at the bottom of the screen ( it was previously played over the channel 's genericized credit sequence design ). In other broadcast and cable syndication runs ( as well as most other episodes aired on ABC Family ), a shortened version of the main theme with alternate lyrics is used for all episodes of the first five seasons ; however, an altered version of the opening credits for seasons six and seven is used, removing the lyric `` Whatever happened to predictability ; the milkman, the paperboy, evenin ' TV '' that was kept in the long version of the theme during those seasons ( the season eight title sequence airs as is ). Nick at Nite acquired the series in 2003, and aired it from October 6 of that year until April 10, 2009 ; several months later on August 31, 2009, it moved to sister channel The N and continued to air on that channel after its September 28, 2009, rebrand as TeenNick, where it remained until October 24, 2010. The following day on October 25, the series returned to Nick at Nite after a one - year absence, airing in the hour leading into the start of Nickelodeon 's broadcast day. Soon after, though, it was dropped from Nick at Nite again, returning to TeenNick until September 2012, where it was then transferred back to Nick at Nite. When NickSplat lost an hour of broadcast, the series returned to TeenNick again on October 2, 2017. In 2014, episodes have averaged 1.5 million viewers on Nick at Nite, which is up 7 percent from 2013 and a 0.4 rating in the key 18 -- 49 demographic, up 8 percent from 2013. On September 29, 2017, Hulu acquired the streaming rights to Full House along with fellow Warner Bros. TV productions Family Matters, Hangin ' with Mr. Cooper, Perfect Strangers and Step by Step in addition to Disney - ABC TV productions Boy Meets World, Dinosaurs and Home Improvement. Critical reception ( edit ) This section may be unbalanced towards certain viewpoints. Please improve the article by adding information on neglected viewpoints, or discuss the issue on the talk page. ( January 2017 ) Despite the show 's popularity, critical acclaim by viewers, and cult following, critics ' reviews for Full House were by most accounts mediocre, particularly in its early years but became more positive in later years. The first season holds an aggregate score of 31 / 100 ( `` Generally unfavorable reviews '' ) on Metacritic. In Slate, Willa Paskin referred to the series as `` a hackneyed and saccharine family sitcom ''. Isaac Feldberg opined that it was `` archetypally average, hiding behind a ubiquitous laugh track and obnoxiously on - the - nose life lessons. '' Reunions ( edit ) During Bob Saget 's final season as host of America 's Funniest Home Videos, six other Full House cast alumni ( John Stamos, Dave Coulier, Candace Cameron, Jodie Sweetin, Andrea Barber, and Lori Loughlin ) reunited on the May 9, 1997, episode ( the episode which preceded Saget 's final episode as host of that series ). In a December 2008 news story, it was reported that John Stamos was planning a reunion movie. This idea was quickly withdrawn, because reportedly most of the cast was not interested. In 2009, Stamos announced that a feature film based on the show was still planned. Stamos told The New York Daily News, `` I 'm working on a movie idea, but it would n't be us playing us. I 'm not 100 % sure, but it would probably take place in the first few years. '' Stamos posited Steve Carell and Tracy Morgan for the roles of Danny and Joey respectively. In 2012, eight of the Full House cast members reunited in Los Angeles for their 25th anniversary. Publicists for Mary - Kate and Ashley Olsen said that they `` were n't able to attend, given their work schedules. '' On July 19, 2013, the original Jesse and the Rippers ( the band which Jesse Katsopolis served as frontman, until he was voted out in season 8 ) reunited on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. The group performed a medley of covers including the Beach Boys ' `` Forever, '' Elvis Presley 's `` Little Sister, '' `` Hippy Hippy Shake '', and ending with the Full House theme `` Everywhere You Look ''. Bob Saget and Lori Loughlin made cameo appearances. In January 2014, Saget, Stamos, and Coulier appeared on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. They each reprised their characters, while Fallon dressed in child 's pajamas in a bed framed by four gigantic pencils, similar to Michelle Tanner 's bed from the show. Saget, Stamos, and Coulier said some of their famous catchphrases from the show, as well as singing `` The Teddy Bear '' song. Stamos, Saget and Coulier also appeared together in a 2014 commercial for Dannon Oikos Greek Yogurt ( for which Stamos serves as spokesperson ) that debuted during Super Bowl XLVIII, days after their appearance on Late Night. Spin - off series ( edit ) Main article : Fuller House ( TV series ) In August 2014, reports circulated that Warner Bros. Television was considering a series spin - off. John Stamos, who has an ownership stake in the show, headed up the attempt to get the series back into production. Netflix closed a deal to produce a 13 - episode sequel series tentatively titled Fuller House, with many of the original series cast members reprising their roles. Notably, Mary - Kate and Ashley Olsen both declined to reprise the role of Michelle in the first season, although the creators and producers said they could still possibly appear in future seasons. Stamos would guest star as well and serve as producer. Filming began on July 25, 2015. Like the original series, the show is set in San Francisco. The original series idea was focused on D.J., a veterinarian struggling to raise three boys after her firefighter husband, Tommy Fuller is killed in the line of duty ; Stephanie, who is aspiring to become a musician ; and Kimmy, who is a party planner and a single mother to a teenage daughter, Ramona. The show 's premise follows one similar to the original series when Stephanie makes plans to put her career on hold for a while and move in with D.J. to help take care of her children. Almost immediately afterwards, Kimmy makes the same offer for her and Ramona to move in and help out. Netflix premiered the series on February 26, 2016, with the premiere episode featuring a Tanner family reunion. As of September 22, 2017 there have been three seasons of the series. Other media ( edit ) DVD Releases ( edit ) Warner Home Video released all eight seasons of the series on DVD in Region 1 between 2005 and 2007. A complete series box - set containing all 192 episodes was released on November 6, 2007. As of 2016, the complete series is available for purchase via online retailers such as Amazon.

( October 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Books based on Full House are geared toward children primarily between the ages of 8 and 14. Warner Bros., which holds the rights to Full House and its associated characters, would not permit others to use their characters, and selected who could write books based on the television series. The books are based on the Silhouette romance novels by Mills & Boon. Full House Michelle # 7 : Summer Rhapsody is a Silhouette Special Edition # 75 by Nancy John and Laura O'Neil in February 1983. The series includes the following : Full House Stephanie : These 33 books were written from the point of view of the Tanners ' middle daughter, Stephanie Tanner. They take place with Stephanie in a different middle school, likely because of a slightly different redistricting plan compared to the one mentioned in season seven 's `` Fast Friends ''. She has different best friends as well, Allie Taylor and Darcy Powell. Though these are book creations, she has known Allie since kindergarten, and there are several places in the first five seasons of Full House where fans think an unnamed extra could be Allie. This series begins with Stephanie being pressured to join a clique called the Flamingos, by completing a series of dares. She almost does the last one, though she is not sure if she wants to before D.J. catches her trying to steal Danny 's phone card. Stephanie explains tearfully what was happening, and D.J. helps her to understand what the Flamingos were really up to : they wanted to use the phone card to call their boyfriends.

( May 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) `` Big Apple Corner '' at 54th Street and Broadway, in Manhattan 's Theater District `` Big Apple '' is a nickname for New York City. It was first popularized in the 1920s by John J. Fitz Gerald, a sports writer for the New York Morning Telegraph. Its popularity since the 1970s is due in part to a promotional campaign by the New York tourist authorities. Contents ( hide ) 1 Origin of the name 2 Racing context 3 Popularity 4 In popular culture 5 References 6 External links Origin of the name ( edit ) Although the history of Big Apple was once thought a mystery, a clearer picture of the term 's history has emerged due to the work of amateur etymologist Barry Popik, and Gerald Cohen of Missouri University of Science and Technology. A number of false theories had previously existed, including a claim that the term derived from a woman named Eve who ran a brothel in the city. This was subsequently exposed as a hoax. The earliest known usage of ' big apple ' appears in the book The Wayfarer in New York ( 1909 ), in which author Edward S. Martin writes : Kansas is apt to see in New York a greedy city... It inclines to think that the big apple gets a disproportionate share of the national sap. William Safire considered this the coinage, but the Random House Dictionary of American Slang has described the usage as `` metaphorical or perhaps proverbial, rather than a concrete example of the later slang term ''. Racing context ( edit ) This section relies largely or entirely upon a single source. Relevant discussion may be found on the talk page. Please help improve this article by introducing citations to additional sources. ( May 2016 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The Big Apple was popularized as a name for New York City by John J. Fitz Gerald in a number of horse - racing articles for the New York Morning Telegraph in the 1920s. The earliest of these was a casual reference on 3rd May, 1921 : J.P. Smith, with Tippity Witchet and others of the L.T. Bauer string, is scheduled to start for `` the big apple '' to - morrow after a most prosperous Spring campaign at Bowie and Havre de Grace. Fitz Gerald referred to the `` big apple '' frequently thereafter. He explained his use in a column dated February 18, 1924, under the headline `` Around the Big Apple '' : The Big Apple. The dream of every lad that ever threw a leg over a thoroughbred and the goal of all horsemen. There 's only one Big Apple. That 's New York. Fitz Gerald 's reference to `` dusky '' stable hands suggests the term 's origin may lie in African - American culture. Evidence for this may be found in the Chicago Defender, an African - American newspaper that had a national circulation. Writing for the Defender on September 16, 1922, `` Ragtime '' Billy Tucker used the name `` big apple '' to refer to New York in a non-horse - racing context : I trust your trip to ' the big apple ' ( New York ) was a huge success and only wish that I had been able to make it with you. Tucker had also earlier used `` big apple '' as a reference to Los Angeles. It is possible that he simply understood `` big apple '' as a nickname for any large city : Dear Pal, Tony : No, Ragtime Billy Tucker has n't dropped completely out of existence, but is still in the ' Big Apple ', Los Angeles. Popularity ( edit ) The New York Mets Home Run Apple located in Citi Field. By the late 1920s, New York writers other than Fitz Gerald were starting to use `` Big Apple '' and were using it in contexts other than horse - racing. `` The Big Apple '' was a popular song and dance in the 1930s. Walter Winchell and other writers continued to use the term in the 1940s and 1950s, but by the 1960s it had generally come to be known as an old name for New York. In the early 1970s, however, the New York Convention and Visitors Bureau ( now NYC & Company, New York City 's official marketing and tourism organization ) began to promote the city 's `` Big Apple '' nickname under the leadership of its president, Charles Gillett. It has remained popular since then. Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani in 1997 signed legislation designating as `` Big Apple Corner '' the southwest corner of West 54th Street and Broadway, the corner on which John J. Fitz Gerald lived from 1934 to 1963. As part of the celebrations following as his election as President of the United States in 2016, Donald Trump hosted a party which he named ' The Big Apple Ball ' and which featured themed decorations and cut - outs of New York landmarks in honor of his home city. Today the name enjoys exclusive ubiquity in literature and speech referring to New York City, and is used with regularity by journalists and news - headline writers across the English - speaking world. In popular culture ( edit ) The term `` big apple '' was used by Frank Sinatra in conversation with opera singer Dorothy Kirsten on an episode of the NBC radio program Light Up Time on March 28, 1950. In Evita, Buenos Aires is referred to as `` B.A., Buenos Aires, Big Apple '' in the song Eva, Beware of the City. This line, produced by lyricist Tim Rice, does not appear to reflect any pre-existing usage. The New York Mets baseball team have featured a `` Home Run Apple '' that rises whenever a Mets player hits a home run. It has become a symbol of the Mets baseball team, recognized throughout Major League Baseball as an iconic feature of the Mets ' stadiums. It first appeared in Shea Stadium, and the original can still be seen on display at Citi Field, outside the Jackie Robinson Rotunda. Citi Field now uses a new apple, one that is much larger than original. Uses of the term abound elsewhere in the names of cultural products and events in or concerning New York, including the Big Apple Anime Fest, the Big Apple Theater Festival, Jess Teong 's The Kid from the Big Apple and Kajagoogoo 's Big Apple, and playful uses of the nickname have been seen, such as Patrick Downey 's 2008 historical study of New York City 's criminal underworld, entitled Bad Seeds in the Big Apple.

Although the song was never formally released as a single in the US, and thus was not eligible to appear on the US Billboard Hot 100 under the rules then in place, it spent three weeks at number 1 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart in early 1995 and reached number 22 on Billboard 's Hot 100 Airplay chart. In the United Kingdom, `` Love Will Keep Us Alive '' was issued as a single and peaked at number 52 on the UK Singles Chart. Aside from being on the album Hell Freezes Over, the song appears on the Eagles ' box set, Selected Works 1972 - 1999 and the 2003 compilation album, The Very Best Of. Paul Carrack recorded the song for his 1996 album, Blue Views ; it also featured on his 2006 compilation album, Greatest Hits - The Story So Far. In 2011, Paul Carrack and Timothy B. Schmit recorded the song in London with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, and released it in the UK on the Carrack label. Contents 1 Background 2 Personnel 3 Charts 3.1 Year - end charts 4 Cover versions 5 References 6 External links Background ( edit ) According to the liner notes that accompanied their 2003 greatest hits CD, this song was written when Carrack, Capaldi, and Schmit were planning to form a band with Don Felder and Max Carl during the late eighties or early nineties. The band had the working name of Malibu Men 's Choir. This never materialized, so Schmit proposed the song for the Eagles ' reunion album. According to Felder, they sent demo tapes to the Eagles manager, Irving Azoff, who rejected it as not good enough. Felder thought it ironic that the Eagles would later record one of those rejected songs.

The eye of a storm is a roughly circular area, typically 30 -- 65 km ( 20 -- 40 miles ) in diameter. It is surrounded by the eyewall, a ring of towering thunderstorms where the most severe weather and highest winds occur. The cyclone 's lowest barometric pressure occurs in the eye and can be as much as 15 percent lower than the pressure outside the storm. In strong tropical cyclones, the eye is characterized by light winds and clear skies, surrounded on all sides by a towering, symmetric eyewall. In weaker tropical cyclones, the eye is less well defined and can be covered by the central dense overcast, an area of high, thick clouds that show up brightly on satellite imagery. Weaker or disorganized storms may also feature an eyewall that does not completely encircle the eye or have an eye that features heavy rain. In all storms, however, the eye is the location of the storm 's minimum barometric pressure -- where the atmospheric pressure at sea level is the lowest.

The eye may be clear or have spotty low clouds ( a clear eye ), it may be filled with low - and mid-level clouds ( a filled eye ), or it may be obscured by the central dense overcast. There is, however, very little wind and rain, especially near the center. This is in stark contrast to conditions in the eyewall, which contains the storm 's strongest winds. Due to the mechanics of a tropical cyclone, the eye and the air directly above it are warmer than their surroundings. While normally quite symmetric, eyes can be oblong and irregular, especially in weakening storms. A large ragged eye is a non-circular eye which appears fragmented, and is an indicator of a weak or weakening tropical cyclone. An open eye is an eye which can be circular, but the eyewall does not completely encircle the eye, also indicating a weakening, moisture - deprived cyclone. Both of these observations are used to estimate the intensity of tropical cyclones via Dvorak analysis. Eyewalls are typically circular ; however, distinctly polygonal shapes ranging from triangles to hexagons occasionally occur. While typical mature storms have eyes that are a few dozen miles across, rapidly intensifying storms can develop an extremely small, clear, and circular eye, sometimes referred to as a pinhole eye. Storms with pinhole eyes are prone to large fluctuations in intensity, and provide difficulties and frustrations for forecasters. Small / minuscule eyes -- those less than 10 nmi ( 19 km, 12 mi ) across -- often trigger eyewall replacement cycles, where a new eyewall begins to form outside the original eyewall. This can take place anywhere from fifteen to hundreds of kilometers ( ten to a few hundred miles ) outside the inner eye. The storm then develops two concentric eyewalls, or an `` eye within an eye ''. In most cases, the outer eyewall begins to contract soon after its formation, which chokes off the inner eye and leaves a much larger but more stable eye. While the replacement cycle tends to weaken storms as it occurs, the new eyewall can contract fairly quickly after the old eyewall dissipates, allowing the storm to re-strengthen. This may trigger another re-strengthen cycle of eyewall replacement. Eyes can range in size from 370 km ( 230 mi ) ( Typhoon Carmen ) to a mere 3.7 km ( 2.3 mi ) ( Hurricane Wilma ) across. While it is uncommon for storms with large eyes to become very intense, it does occur, especially in annular hurricanes. Hurricane Isabel was the eleventh most powerful North Atlantic hurricane in recorded history, and sustained a large, 65 -- 80 km ( 40 -- 50 mi ) - wide eye for a period of several days. Formation and detection ( edit ) See also : Tropical cyclogenesis Tropical cyclones form when the energy released by the condensation of moisture in rising air causes a positive feedback loop over warm ocean waters. Typically, eyes are easy to spot using weather radar. This radar image of Hurricane Andrew clearly shows the eye over southern Florida. Tropical cyclones typically form from large, disorganized areas of disturbed weather in tropical regions. As more thunderstorms form and gather, the storm develops rainbands which start rotating around a common center. As the storm gains strength, a ring of stronger convection forms at a certain distance from the rotational center of the developing storm. Since stronger thunderstorms and heavier rain mark areas of stronger updrafts, the barometric pressure at the surface begins to drop, and air begins to build up in the upper levels of the cyclone. This results in the formation of an upper level anticyclone, or an area of high atmospheric pressure above the central dense overcast. Consequently, most of this built up air flows outward anticyclonically above the tropical cyclone. Outside the forming eye, the anticyclone at the upper levels of the atmosphere enhances the flow towards the center of the cyclone, pushing air towards the eyewall and causing a positive feedback loop. However, a small portion of the built - up air, instead of flowing outward, flows inward towards the center of the storm. This causes air pressure to build even further, to the point where the weight of the air counteracts the strength of the updrafts in the center of the storm. Air begins to descend in the center of the storm, creating a mostly rain - free area -- a newly formed eye. There are many aspects of this process which remain a mystery. Scientists do not know why a ring of convection forms around the center of circulation instead of on top of it, or why the upper - level anticyclone only ejects a portion of the excess air above the storm. Many theories exist as to the exact process by which the eye forms : all that is known for sure is that the eye is necessary for tropical cyclones to achieve high wind speeds. The formation of an eye is almost always an indicator of increasing tropical cyclone organisation and strength. Because of this, forecasters watch developing storms closely for signs of eye formation. For storms with a clear eye, detection of the eye is as simple as looking at pictures from a weather satellite. However, for storms with a filled eye, or an eye completely covered by the central dense overcast, other detection methods must be used. Observations from ships and Hurricane Hunters can pinpoint an eye visually, by looking for a drop in wind speed or lack of rainfall in the storm 's center. In the United States, South Korea, and a few other countries, a network of NEXRAD Doppler weather radar stations can detect eyes near the coast. Weather satellites also carry equipment for measuring atmospheric water vapor and cloud temperatures, which can be used to spot a forming eye. In addition, scientists have recently discovered that the amount of ozone in the eye is much higher than the amount in the eyewall, due to air sinking from the ozone - rich stratosphere. Instruments sensitive to ozone perform measurements, which are used to observe rising and sinking columns of air, and provide indication of the formation of an eye, even before satellite imagery can determine its formation. Associated phenomena ( edit ) A satellite photo of Typhoon Amber of the 1997 Pacific typhoon season exhibiting an outer and inner eyewall, while undergoing an eyewall replacement cycle Eyewall replacement cycles ( edit ) Main article : Eyewall replacement cycle Eyewall replacement cycles, also called concentric eyewall cycles, naturally occur in intense tropical cyclones, generally with winds greater than 185 km / h ( 115 mph ), or major hurricanes ( Category 3 or higher on the Saffir -- Simpson hurricane scale ). When tropical cyclones reach this intensity, and the eyewall contracts or is already sufficiently small ( see above ), some of the outer rainbands may strengthen and organize into a ring of thunderstorms -- an outer eyewall -- that slowly moves inward and robs the inner eyewall of its needed moisture and angular momentum. Since the strongest winds are located in a cyclone 's eyewall, the tropical cyclone usually weakens during this phase, as the inner wall is `` choked '' by the outer wall. Eventually the outer eyewall replaces the inner one completely, and the storm can re-intensify. The discovery of this process was partially responsible for the end of the U.S. government 's hurricane modification experiment Project Stormfury. This project set out to seed clouds outside the eyewall, causing a new eyewall to form and weakening the storm. When it was discovered that this was a natural process due to hurricane dynamics, the project was quickly abandoned. Almost every intense hurricane undergoes at least one of these cycles during its existence. Hurricane Allen in 1980 went through repeated eyewall replacement cycles, fluctuating between Category 5 and Category 3 status on the Saffir - Simpson scale several times. Hurricane Juliette was a rare documented case of triple eyewalls. Moats ( edit ) A moat in a tropical cyclone is a clear ring outside the eyewall, or between concentric eyewalls, characterized by subsidence -- slowly sinking air -- and little or no precipitation. The air flow in the moat is dominated by the cumulative effects of stretching and shearing. The moat between eyewalls is an area in the storm where the rotational speed of the air changes greatly in proportion to the distance from the storm 's center ; these areas are also known as rapid filamentation zones. Such areas can potentially be found near any vortex of sufficient strength, but are most pronounced in strong tropical cyclones. Eyewall mesovortices ( edit ) Eyewall mesovortices are small scale rotational features found in the eyewalls of intense tropical cyclones. They are similar, in principle, to small `` suction vortices '' often observed in multiple - vortex tornadoes. In these vortices, wind speeds may be greater than anywhere else in the eyewall. Eyewall mesovortices are most common during periods of intensification in tropical cyclones. Eyewall mesovortices often exhibit unusual behavior in tropical cyclones. They usually rotate around the low pressure center, but sometimes they remain stationary. Eyewall mesovortices have even been documented to cross the eye of a storm. These phenomena have been documented observationally, experimentally, and theoretically. Eyewall mesovortices are a significant factor in the formation of tornadoes after tropical cyclone landfall. Mesovortices can spawn rotation in individual thunderstorms ( a mesocyclone ), which leads to tornadic activity. At landfall, friction is generated between the circulation of the tropical cyclone and land. This can allow the mesovortices to descend to the surface, causing tornadoes. Stadium effect ( edit ) View of Typhoon Maysak 's eye from the International Space Station on March 31, 2015, displaying a pronounced stadium effect. The stadium effect is a phenomenon observed in strong tropical cyclones. It is a fairly common event, where the clouds of the eyewall curve outward from the surface with height. This gives the eye an appearance resembling an open dome from the air, akin to a sports stadium. An eye is always larger at the top of the storm, and smallest at the bottom of the storm because the rising air in the eyewall follows isolines of equal angular momentum, which also slope outward with height. In tropical cyclones with very small eyes, the sloping phenomenon is much more pronounced. Eye - like features ( edit ) An eye - like structure is often found in intensifying tropical cyclones. Similar to the eye seen in hurricanes or typhoons, it is a circular area at the circulation center of the storm in which convection is absent. These eye - like features are most normally found in intensifying tropical storms and hurricanes of Category 1 strength on the Saffir - Simpson scale. For example, an eye - like feature was found in Hurricane Beta when the storm had maximum wind speeds of only 80 km / h ( 50 mph ), well below hurricane force. The features are typically not visible on visible wavelengths or infrared wavelengths from space, although they are easily seen on microwave satellite imagery. Their development at the middle levels of the atmosphere is similar to the formation of a complete eye, but the features might be horizontally displaced due to vertical wind shear. Hazards ( edit ) Play media An aircraft flying through a storm 's eyewall and into the calm eye Though the eye is by far the calmest part of the storm, with no wind at the center and typically clear skies, over the ocean it is possibly the most hazardous area. In the eyewall, wind - driven waves all travel in the same direction. In the center of the eye, however, the waves converge from all directions, creating erratic crests that can build on each other to become rogue waves. The maximum height of hurricane waves is unknown, but measurements during Hurricane Ivan when it was a Category 4 hurricane estimated that waves near the eyewall exceeded 40 m ( 130 ft ) from peak to trough. A common mistake, especially in areas where hurricanes are uncommon, is for residents to exit their homes to inspect the damage while the calm eye passes over, only to be caught off guard by the violent winds in the opposite eyewall. Other cyclones ( edit ) The North American blizzard of 2006, an extratropical storm, showed an eye - like structure at its peak intensity ( here seen just to the east of the Delmarva Peninsula ). Main article : Cyclone Though only tropical cyclones have structures officially termed `` eyes '', there are other weather systems that can exhibit eye - like features. Polar lows ( edit ) Polar lows are mesoscale weather systems, typically smaller than 1,000 km ( 600 mi ) across, found near the poles. Like tropical cyclones, they form over relatively warm water and can feature deep convection and winds of gale force or greater. Unlike storms of tropical nature, however, they thrive in much colder temperatures and at much higher latitudes. They are also smaller and last for shorter durations, with few lasting longer than a day or so. Despite these differences, they can be very similar in structure to tropical cyclones, featuring a clear eye surrounded by an eyewall and bands of rain and snow.. Extratropical cyclones ( edit ) Extratropical cyclones are areas of low pressure which exist at the boundary of different air masses. Almost all storms found at mid-latitudes are extratropical in nature, including classic North American nor'easters and European windstorms. The most severe of these can have a clear `` eye '' at the site of lowest barometric pressure, though it is usually surrounded by lower, non-convective clouds and is found near the back end of the storm. Subtropical cyclones ( edit ) Subtropical cyclones are low - pressure systems with some extratropical characteristics and some tropical characteristics. As such, they may have an eye while not being truly tropical in nature. Subtropical cyclones can be very hazardous, generating high winds and seas, and often evolve into fully tropical cyclones. For this reason, the National Hurricane Center began including subtropical storms in its naming scheme in 2002. Tornadoes ( edit ) Tornadoes are destructive, small - scale storms, which produce the fastest winds on earth. There are two main types -- single - vortex tornadoes, which consist of a single spinning column of air, and multiple - vortex tornadoes, which consist of small `` suction vortices, '' resembling mini-tornadoes themselves, all rotating around a common center. Both of these types of tornadoes are theorized to have calm eyes. These theories are supported by doppler velocity observations by weather radar and eyewitness accounts. Extraterrestrial vortices ( edit ) A hurricane - like storm on the south pole of Saturn displaying an eyewall tens of kilometers high See also : Extraterrestrial vortex NASA reported in November 2006 that the Cassini spacecraft observed a `` hurricane - like '' storm locked to the south pole of Saturn with a clearly defined eyewall. The observation was particularly notable as eyewall clouds had not previously been seen on any planet other than Earth ( including a failure to observe an eyewall in the Great Red Spot of Jupiter by the Galileo spacecraft ). In 2007, very large vortices on both poles of Venus were observed by the Venus Express mission of the European Space Agency to have a dipole eye structure.

The madrasa Al - Fihri founded is still in operation today as the University of Al Quaraouiyine. It is the oldest continually operating educational institution in the world and is sometimes referred to as the world 's oldest university, by being the first institution to award degrees indicative of different levels of study. The mosque is also still in operation, and is one of the largest in North Africa. The library Al - Fihri founded at the university is one of the world 's oldest libraries. The library underwent restoration and reopened to the public in May 2016. The library 's collection of over 4000 manuscripts includes a 9th - century Qur'an and the earliest collection of hadiths. Mariam, Fatima 's sister, was the sponsor of the Al - Andalus mosque, also in Fes. Both were part of a larger tradition of women founding mosques.

{ "text": "Facial hair - wikipedia Facial hair Jump to : navigation, search Facial hair is hair grown on the face, usually on the chin, cheeks, and upper lip region. It is typically a secondary sex characteristic of human males. Men typically start developing facial hair in the later years of puberty or adolescence, between seventeen and twenty years of age, and most do not finish developing a full adult beard until their early twenties or later. This varies, as boys may first develop facial hair between fourteen and sixteen years of age, and boys as young as eleven have been known to develop facial hair. Women are also capable of developing facial hair, especially after menopause, though typically significantly less than men. Men may style their facial hair into beards, moustaches, goatees or sideburns ; others completely shave their facial hair. The term whiskers, when used to refer to human facial hair, indicates the hair on the chin and cheeks.

The moustache forms its own stage in the development of facial hair in adolescent males. Facial hair in males does not always appear in a specific order during puberty and varies among some individuals but may follow this process : The first facial hair to appear tends to grow at the corners of the upper lip ( age 11 -- 15 ). It then spreads to form a moustache over the entire upper lip ( age 16 -- 17 ). This is followed by the appearance of hair on the upper part of the cheeks and the area under the lower lip ( age 16 -- 18 ). It eventually spreads to the sides and lower border of the chin and the rest of the lower face to form a full beard ( age 17 -- 21 ). Although this order is commonly seen, it can vary widely, with some facial hair starting from the chin and up towards the sideburns. As with most human biological processes, this specific order may vary among some individuals depending on one 's genetic heritage or environment. Military ( edit ) Main article : Facial hair in the military Depending on the periods and countries, facial hair was prohibited in the army or, on the contrary, an integral part of the uniform. In religions ( edit ) Many religious male figures are recorded to have had facial hair ; for example, all the prophets mentioned in the Abrahamic religions ( Judaism, Christianity and Islam ) were known to grow their beards. Other religions, such as Sikhism, encourage growing beards. Amish men grow beards after marriage, but continue to shave their moustaches in order to avoid historical associations with military facial hair due to their pacifistic beliefs. There are various hadiths that describe the necessary beard as its entirety, such as Sunan Abu Dawood 33 ; 4183, which says, `` The Prophet saw a boy with part of his head shaved and part left unshaven. He forbade them to do that, saying : Shave it all or leave it all. '' Therefore, most non-taqlid Muslims such as the ghair muqallids, Salafis and Ahle Hadith view its growing as wajib and fardh. The reasoning for the command was reportedly to differ the Muslims from non-Muslims deriving from Sahih Bukhari, `` Do otherwise than those who ascribe partners to Allah ( the mushriks ). '' On women ( edit ) Women typically have little hair on the face, apart from eyebrows and the vellus hair that covers most of the body. However, in some cases, women have noticeable facial hair growth, most commonly after menopause. Excessive hairiness ( especially facially ) is known as hirsutism and is usually an indication of atypical hormonal variation. In contemporary Western culture, many women depilate facial hair that appears, as considerable social stigma is associated with facial hair on women, and freak shows and circuses have historically displayed bearded women. Many women globally choose to totally remove their facial hair by professional laser treatment.

It was released in the United Kingdom on 29 October 2015 through Republic Records as the fourth single from his debut studio album Chaos and the Calm ( 2015 ) after originally being included on Bay 's 2014 Let It Go EP. The single was certified silver in the United Kingdom in February 2017. Contents ( hide ) 1 Background 2 Music video 3 Charts 4 Certifications 5 Release history 6 References Background ( edit ) Bay told PopCrush the song is `` about a few different experiences and scenarios '' saying `` I was really keen to ( move away from home ) when I was 18, and I moved about 2 - 3 hours away... Suddenly, I was really aware of the feeling every time I went home back to the town where I grew up in. When ( I 'd see my home town friends ) again, there was always that talk of we 're all back in this town -- it was a small town. We 'd come together and one of the stories amongst all of this is always, `` I saw that girl who I had something going on with and it really it sort of fizzled out and did n't end up being anything because we both went to different parts of the country. '' Some people have that feeling of `` what if? '' and that slight feeling of regret that they moved away. So the song is kind of referencing that whole part of your life where you leave and whenever you come back to visit, there 's those things that make you think `` What if I had n't left? '' There 's those reminders, maybe still there. Or maybe you 've come back to visit as well and it 's kind of about chance meeting between two people who started from the same place, went away and came back again. '' Music video ( edit ) A music video to accompany the release of `` If You Ever Want To Be In Love '' was first released onto YouTube on 29 October 2015 at a total length of four minutes and forth - three seconds. The clip was directed by Sophie Mueller and sees Bay performing in a small venue not dissimilar from the pubs and clubs he was playing before the album 's release.

He has been one of the highest - paid athletes in the world for several years. Woods is generally considered one of the greatest golfers of all time. Following an outstanding junior, college, and amateur career, Woods was 20 years old when he turned professional at the end of summer in 1996. By the end of April 1997, he had won three PGA Tour events in addition to his first major, the 1997 Masters. Woods won this tournament by 12 strokes in a record - breaking performance and earned $486,000. He first reached the number one position in the world rankings in June 1997, less than a year after turning pro. Throughout the 2000s, Woods was the dominant force in golf -- he won the 2000 U.S. Open by a record 15 - shot margin. He was the top - ranked golfer in the world from August 1999 to September 2004 ( 264 weeks ) and again from June 2005 to October 2010 ( 281 weeks ). Woods took a self - imposed hiatus from professional golf from December 2009 to early April 2010 to resolve marital issues. Woods and his estranged wife Elin eventually divorced. His many alleged extramarital indiscretions were revealed by several women, through many worldwide media sources. This coincided with a series of injuries, treatments by the controversial doctor Anthony Galea, who had been linked to HGH, and a loss of golf form. His placement in the Official World Golf Rankings gradually fell to a low of No. 58 in November 2011. He ended a career - high winless streak of 107 weeks when he triumphed in the Chevron World Challenge in December 2011. After winning the Arnold Palmer Invitational on March 25, 2013, he ascended to the No. 1 ranking once again, holding the top spot until May 2014, by which time he had been ranked number one for a record total of 683 weeks. From 2014 -- 2017, Woods had been unable to recapture his dominant form, undergoing four back surgeries in 2014, 2015 and 2017. In May 2016, Woods dropped out of the world top 500 for the first time in his professional career. After falling to # 1199 in the World Golf Ranking in December 2017, Woods rose over 1000 places by mid-2018. In September 2018, he won his first tournament in five years with a victory at the Tour Championship and moved to # 13 in the Official World Golf Rankings. Woods has broken numerous golf records. He has been World Number One for the most consecutive weeks and for the greatest total number of weeks of any golfer. He has been awarded PGA Player of the Year a record eleven times, the Byron Nelson Award for lowest adjusted scoring average a record eight times, and has the record of leading the money list in ten different seasons. He has won 14 professional major golf championships, where he trails only Jack Nicklaus who leads with 18, and 80 PGA Tour events, second all - time behind Sam Snead ( 82 ). Woods leads all active golfers in career major wins and career PGA Tour wins. He is the youngest player to achieve the career Grand Slam, and the youngest and fastest to win 50 tournaments on tour. Additionally, Woods is only the second golfer ( after Nicklaus ) to have achieved a career Grand Slam three times. Woods has won 18 World Golf Championships, and won at least one of those events in each of the first 11 years after they began in 1999. Woods and Rory McIlroy are the only golfers to win both The Silver Medal and The Gold Medal at The Open Championship.

He is the only child of their marriage, and has two half - brothers, Earl Jr. and Kevin, as well as a half - sister named Royce from his father 's first marriage. Kultida ( née Punsawad ) is originally from Thailand, where Earl had met her on a tour of duty in 1968. She is of mixed Thai, Chinese, and Dutch ancestry. Earl was a retired lieutenant colonel and Vietnam War veteran who was mostly African American with traces of European descent. Earl 's mother Maude Carter was light skinned. Some people suggested that she had Native American and Chinese ancestry. Tiger refers to his ethnic make - up as `` Cablinasian '' ( a syllabic abbreviation he coined from Caucasian, Black, American Indian, and Asian ). Woods ' first name -- Eldrick -- was coined by his mother because it began with `` E '' ( for Earl ) and ended with `` K '' ( for Kultida ). His middle name Tont is a traditional Thai name. He was nicknamed Tiger in honor of his father 's friend Col. Vuong Dang Phong, who had also been known as Tiger. Woods ' niece, Cheyenne Woods, played for the Wake Forest University golf team and turned professional in 2012, when she made her pro debut in the LPGA Championship. Early Life and Amateur golf career Woods grew up in Orange County, California. He was a child prodigy who was introduced to golf before the age of two by his athletic father, Earl Woods. Earl was a single - digit handicap amateur golfer who also was one of the earliest African - American college baseball players at Kansas State University. Tiger 's father was a member of the military and had playing privileges at the Navy golf course beside the Joint Forces Training Base in Los Alamitos, which allowed Tiger to play there. Tiger also played at the par 3 Heartwell golf course in Long Beach, as well as some of the municipals in Long Beach. In 1978, Tiger putted against comedian Bob Hope in a television appearance on The Mike Douglas Show. At age three, he shot a 48 over nine holes at the Navy course. At age five, he appeared in Golf Digest and on ABC 's That 's Incredible! Before turning seven, Tiger won the Under Age 10 section of the Drive, Pitch, and Putt competition, held at the Navy Golf Course in Cypress, California. In 1984 at the age of eight, he won the 9 -- 10 boys ' event, the youngest age group available, at the Junior World Golf Championships. He first broke 80 at age eight. He went on to win the Junior World Championships six times, including four consecutive wins from 1988 to 1991. Woods ' father Earl wrote that Tiger first defeated him at the age of 11 years, with Earl trying his best. Earl lost to Tiger every time from then on. Woods first broke 70 on a regulation golf course at age 12. When Woods was 13 years old, he played in the 1989 Big I, which was his first major national junior tournament. In the final round, he was paired with pro John Daly, who was then relatively unknown. The event 's format placed a professional with each group of juniors who had qualified. Daly birdied three of the last four holes to beat Woods by only one stroke. As a young teenager, Woods first met Jack Nicklaus in Los Angeles at the Bel - Air Country Club, when Nicklaus was performing a clinic for the club 's members. Woods was part of the show, and he impressed Nicklaus and the crowd with his skills and potential. Earl Woods had researched in detail the career accomplishments of Nicklaus and had set his young son the goals of breaking those records. Woods was 15 - years - old and a student at Western High School in Anaheim when he became the youngest U.S. Junior Amateur champion ; this was a record that stood until it was broken by Jim Liu in 2010. He was named 1991 's Southern California Amateur Player of the Year ( for the second consecutive year ) and Golf Digest Junior Amateur Player of the Year. In 1992, he defended his title at the U.S. Junior Amateur Championship, becoming the tournament 's first two - time winner. He also competed in his first PGA Tour event, the Nissan Los Angeles Open ( he missed the 36 - hole cut ), and was named Golf Digest Amateur Player of the Year, Golf World Player of the Year, and Golfweek National Amateur of the Year. The following year, Woods won his third consecutive U.S. Junior Amateur Championship ; he remains the event 's only three - time winner. In 1994, at the TPC at Sawgrass in Florida, he became the youngest winner of the U.S. Amateur Championship, a record he held until 2008 when it was broken by Danny Lee. He was a member of the American team at the 1994 Eisenhower Trophy World Amateur Golf Team Championships ( winning ), and the 1995 Walker Cup ( losing ). Woods graduated from Western High School at age 18 in 1994 and was voted `` Most Likely to Succeed '' among the graduating class. He had starred for the high school 's golf team under coach Don Crosby. Woods overcame difficulties with stuttering as a boy. This was not known until he wrote a letter to a boy who contemplated suicide. Woods wrote, `` I know what it 's like to be different and to sometimes not fit in. I also stuttered as a child and I would talk to my dog and he would sit there and listen until he fell asleep. I also took a class for two years to help me, and I finally learned to stop. '' College golf career Woods was heavily recruited by college golf powers. He chose Stanford University, the 1994 NCAA champions. He enrolled at Stanford in the fall of 1994 under a golf scholarship and won his first collegiate event, the 40th Annual William H. Tucker Invitational, that September. He selected a major in economics and was nicknamed `` Urkel '' by college teammate Notah Begay III. In 1995, he successfully defended his U.S. Amateur title at the Newport Country Club in Rhode Island and was voted Pac - 10 Player of the Year, NCAA First Team All - American, and Stanford 's Male Freshman of the Year ( an award that encompasses all sports ). At age 19 ( two years before he won the tournament ), Woods participated in his first PGA Tour major, the 1995 Masters, and tied for 41st as the only amateur to make the cut. At age 20 in 1996, he became the first golfer to win three consecutive U.S. Amateur titles and won the NCAA individual golf championship. In winning the silver medal as leading amateur at The Open Championship, he tied the record for an amateur aggregate score of 281. He left college after two years in order to turn professional in the golf industry. In 1996, Woods moved out of California, stating in 2013 that it was due to the state 's high tax rate. Professional career Main article : Professional golf career of Tiger Woods Woods in 2001 Woods turned pro at age 20 in August 1996 and immediately signed advertising deals with Nike, Inc. and Titleist that ranked as the most lucrative endorsement contracts in golf history at that time. Woods was named Sports Illustrated 's 1996 Sportsman of the Year and PGA Tour Rookie of the Year. On April 13, 1997, he won his first major, the Masters, in record - breaking fashion and became the tournament 's youngest winner at age 21. Two months later, he set the record for the fastest ascent to No. 1 in the Official World Golf Rankings. After a lackluster 1998, Woods finished the 1999 season with eight wins, including the PGA Championship, a feat not achieved since 1974. In 2000, Woods won six consecutive events on the PGA Tour, which was the longest winning streak since Ben Hogan did it in 1948. One of these was the 2000 U.S. Open, where he broke or tied nine tournament records in what Sports Illustrated called `` the greatest performance in golf history '', in which Woods won the tournament by a record 15 - stroke margin and earned a check for $800,000. At age 24, he became the youngest golfer to achieve the Career Grand Slam. At the end of 2000, Woods had won nine of the twenty PGA Tour events he entered and had broken the record for lowest scoring average in tour history. He was named the Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the Year, the only athlete to be honored twice, and was ranked by Golf Digest magazine as the twelfth - best golfer of all time. Woods at the 2004 Ryder Cup When Woods won the 2001 Masters, he became the only player to win four consecutive major professional golf titles, although not in the same calendar year. Following a stellar 2001 and 2002 in which Woods continued to dominate the tour, Woods ' career hit a slump. He did not win a major in 2003 or 2004. In September 2004, Vijay Singh overtook Woods in the Official World Golf Rankings, ending Woods ' record streak of 264 weeks at # 1. Woods rebounded in 2005, winning six official PGA Tour money events and reclaiming the top spot in July after swapping it back and forth with Singh over the first half of the year. Woods began dominantly in 2006, winning his first two PGA tournaments but failing to capture his fifth Masters championship in April. Following the death of his father in May, Woods took a nine - week hiatus from the tour and appeared rusty upon his return at the U.S. Open at Winged Foot, where he missed the cut. However, he quickly returned to form and ended the year by winning six consecutive tour events. At the season 's close, Woods had 54 total wins that included 12 majors ; he had broken the tour records for both total wins and total majors wins over eleven seasons. Woods at the 2006 Masters Woods continued to excel in 2007 and the first part of 2008. In April 2008, he underwent knee surgery and missed the next two months on the tour. Woods returned for the 2008 U.S. Open, where he struggled the first day but ultimately claimed a dramatic sudden death victory over Rocco Mediate that followed an 18 - hole playoff, after which Mediate said, `` This guy does things that are just not normal by any stretch of the imagination, '' and Kenny Perry added, `` He beat everybody on one leg. '' Two days later, Woods announced that he would miss the remainder of the season due to additional knee surgery, and that his knee was more severely damaged than previously revealed, prompting even greater praise for his U.S. Open performance. Woods called it `` my greatest ever championship. '' In Woods ' absence, TV ratings for the remainder of the season suffered a huge decline from 2007. Woods competing at the third annual Earl Woods Memorial Pro-Am ( July 1, 2009 ) Woods had a much anticipated return to golf in 2009, when he performed well. His comeback included a spectacular performance at the 2009 Presidents Cup, but he failed to win a major, the first year since 2004 that he had not done so. After his marital infidelities came to light and received massive media coverage at the end of 2009 ( see further details below ), Woods announced in December that he would be taking an indefinite break from competitive golf. In February 2010, he delivered a televised apology for his behavior, saying `` I was wrong and I was foolish. '' During this period, several companies ended their endorsement deals with Woods. Woods returned to competition in April at the 2010 Masters, where he finished tied for fourth place. He followed the Masters with poor showings at the Quail Hollow Championship and the Players Championship, where he withdrew in the fourth round, citing injury. Shortly afterward, Hank Haney, Woods ' coach since 2003, resigned the position. In August, Woods hired Sean Foley as Haney 's replacement. The rest of the season went badly for Woods, who failed to win a single event for the first time since turning professional, while nevertheless finishing the season ranked No. 2 in the world. Woods at a Chevron World Challenge charity event ( 2011 ) In 2011, Woods ' performance continued to suffer ; this took its toll on his ranking. After falling to No. 7 in March, he rebounded to No. 5 with a strong showing at the 2011 Masters Tournament, where he tied for fourth place. Due to leg injuries incurred at the Masters, he missed several summer stops on the PGA Tour. In July, he fired his longtime caddy Steve Williams ( who was shocked by the dismissal ), and replaced him on an interim basis with friend Bryon Bell. After returning to tournament play in August, Woods continued to falter, and his ranking gradually fell to a low of # 58. He rose to No. 50 in mid-November after a third - place finish at the Emirates Australian Open, and broke his winless streak with a victory at December 's Chevron World Challenge. Woods began his 2012 season with two tournaments ( the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship and the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am ) where he started off well, but struggled on the final rounds. Following the WGC - Accenture Match Play Championship, where he was knocked out in the second round by missing a 5 - foot putt, Woods revised his putting technique and tied for second at the Honda Classic, with the lowest final round score in his PGA Tour career. After a short time off due to another leg injury, Woods won the Arnold Palmer Invitational, his first win on the PGA Tour since the BMW Championship in September 2009. Following several dismal performances, Woods notched his 73rd PGA Tour win at the Memorial Tournament in June, tying Jack Nicklaus in second place for most PGA Tour victories ; a month later, Woods surpassed Nicklaus with a win at the AT&T National, to trail only Sam Snead, who accumulated 82 PGA tour wins. The year 2013 would bring a return of Woods ' dominating play. In January, he won the Farmers Insurance Open by four shots for his 75th PGA Tour win. It was the seventh time he had won the event. In March, he won the WGC - Cadillac Championship, also for the seventh time, giving him his 17th WGC title and first since 2009. Two weeks later, he won the Arnold Palmer Invitational, winning the event for a record - tying 8th time. The win moved him back to the top of the world rankings. To commemorate that achievement, Nike was quick to launch an ad with the tagline `` winning takes care of everything ''. During the 2013 Masters, Woods faced disqualification after unwittingly admitting in a post-round interview with ESPN that he had taken an illegal drop on the par - 5 15th hole when his third shot had bounced off the pin and into the water. After further review of television footage, Woods was assessed a two - stroke penalty for the drop but was not disqualified. He finished tied for fourth in the event. Woods won The Players Championship in May 2013, his second career win at the event, notching his fourth win of the 2013 season. It was the quickest he had gotten to four wins in any season in his professional career. Woods practicing before the 2014 Quicken Loans National Woods had a poor showing at the 2013 U.S Open as a result of an elbow injury sustained at The Players Championship. In finishing at 13 - over-par, he recorded his worst score as a professional and finished 12 strokes behind winner Justin Rose. After a prolonged break because of the injury, during which he missed the Greenbrier Classic and his own AT&T National, he returned at the Open Championship at Muirfield. Despite being in contention all week and beginning the final round only two strokes behind Lee Westwood, he struggled with the speed of the greens and could only manage a 3 - over-par 74 that left him tied for 6th place, five strokes behind eventual winner Phil Mickelson. Two weeks later, Woods returned to form at the WGC - Bridgestone Invitational, recording his 5th win of the season and 8th win at the event in its 15 - year history. His second round 61 matched his record score on the PGA Tour and could easily have been a 59 were it not for some short missed birdie putts on the closing holes. This gave him a seven stroke lead that he held onto for the rest of the tournament. Woods would never contend at the PGA Championship at Oak Hill Country Club and would come short of winning a major for the 5th full season, only contending in two of the four majors in 2013. After a slow start to 2014, Woods injured himself during the final round of the Honda Classic and was unable to finish the tournament. He withdrew after the 13th hole, citing back pain. He subsequently competed in the WGC - Cadillac Championship but was visibly in pain during much of the last round. He was forced to skip the Arnold Palmer Invitational at the end of March 2014, and after undergoing back surgery, he announced on April 1 that he would miss the Masters for the first time since 1994. Woods returned at the Quicken Loans National in June, however he stated that his expectations for the week were low. He would struggle with nearly every aspect of his game and miss the cut. He next played at The Open Championship, contested at Hoylake, where Woods had won eight years prior. Woods fired a brilliant 69 in the first round to put himself in contention, but shot 77 on Friday and would eventually finish 69th. Despite his back pain, he played at the 2014 PGA Championship where he failed to make the cut. On August 25, 2014, Woods and his swing coach Sean Foley parted ways. In the four years under Foley, he won eight times but no majors. He had previously won eight majors with Harmon and six with Haney. Woods said there is currently no timetable to find a replacement swing coach. On February 5, 2015, Woods withdrew from the Farmers Insurance Open after another back injury. Woods stated on his website that it was unrelated to his previous surgery and he would take a break from golf until his back healed. He returned for the Masters, finishing in a tie for 17th. In the final round, Woods injured his wrist after his club hit a tree root. He later stated that a bone popped out of his wrist, but he adjusted it back into place and finished the round. Woods then missed the cut at the 2015 U.S. Open and Open Championship, the first time Woods missed the cut at consecutive majors, finishing near the bottom of the leaderboard both times. He finished tied for 18th at the Quicken Loans National on August 2. In late August 2015, Woods played quite well at the Wyndham Championship finishing the tournament at 13 - under, only four strokes behind the winner, and tied for 10th place. Woods offered only a brief comment on the speculation that he was still recovering from back surgery, saying it was `` just my hip '' but offering no specifics. Woods at the 2018 U.S. Open Woods had back surgery on September 16, 2015. In late March 2016, he announced that he would miss the Masters while he recovered from the surgery ; he had also missed the 2014 Masters due to a back problem. `` I 'm absolutely making progress, and I 'm really happy with how far I 've come, '' he explained in a statement. `` But I still have no timetable to return to competitive golf. '' However, he did attend the Masters Champions Dinner on April 5, 2016. For the first time in his career, he missed all four majors in one year due to problems with his back. In October 2016, he told Charlie Rose on PBS that he still wanted to break Jack Nicklaus 's record of 18 major titles. Woods underwent back surgery in December 2016 and spent the next 15 months off the Tour. He made his return to competitive golf in the Hero World Challenge. Woods ' back problems continued to hinder him in 2017, as he missed the cut at the Farmers Insurance Open in January, and pulled out of a European Tour event in Dubai on February 3. On March 31, Woods announced on his website that he would not be playing in the 2017 Masters Tournament despite being cleared to play by his doctors. Woods said that although he was happy with his rehabilitation, he did not feel `` tournament ready. '' On April 20, Woods announced that he had undergone his fourth back surgery since 2014 to alleviate back and leg pain. Recovery time required up to six months, meaning that Woods would spend the rest of the year without playing any professional golf. Woods returned to competitive golf at the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas. He shot rounds of 69 - 68 - 75 - 68 and finished tied for 9th place. His world ranking went from 1,199 th to 668th, which was the biggest jump in the world rankings in his career. On Sunday, March 11, 2018, he finished one - shot back and tied for second at the Valspar Championship in Florida, his first top - five finish on the PGA Tour since 2013. He then tied for sixth with a score of five under par at the 2018 Open Championship. At the last major of the year Woods finished second at the 2018 PGA Championship, two shots behind the winner Brooks Koepka. It was his best result in a major since 2009 ( second at the 2009 PGA Championship ) and moved up to 26th in the world rankings. His final round of 64 was his best ever final round in a major. Woods got back in the winner 's circle for the 80th time in his PGA Tour career on September 23, 2018, when he won the season - ending Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club for the second time, and that tournament for the third time. He shot rounds of 65 - 68 - 65 - 71 to win by two strokes over Billy Horschel. He nearly also won the FedEx Cup, but Justin Rose made a birdie on the 18th hole to win by 41 points over Woods. Honors Woods checking his drive in 2007 On August 20, 2007, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and his wife Maria Shriver announced that Woods would be inducted into the California Hall of Fame. He was inducted December 5, 2007 at The California Museum for History, Women and the Arts in Sacramento. In December 2009, Woods was named `` Athlete of the Decade '' by the Associated Press. He was named Associated Press Male Athlete of the Year a record - tying four times, and is one of only two people to be named Sports Illustrated 's Sportsman of the Year more than once. Since his record - breaking win at the 1997 Masters, Woods became the biggest name in golf, and his presence in tournaments drew a huge fan following. Some sources have credited him for dramatically increasing prize money in golf, generating interest in new PGA tournament audiences, and for drawing the largest TV ratings in golf history. Endorsements During the first decade of his professional career, Woods was the world 's most marketable athlete. Shortly after his 21st birthday in 1996, he signed endorsement deals with numerous companies, including General Motors, Titleist, General Mills, American Express, Accenture, and Nike, Inc. In 2000, he signed a 5 - year, $105 million contract extension with Nike, which was the largest endorsement package signed by a professional athlete at that time. Woods ' endorsement has been credited with playing a significant role in taking the Nike Golf brand from a `` start - up '' golf company earlier in the previous decade to becoming the leading golf apparel company in the world and a major player in the equipment and golf ball market. Nike Golf is one of the fastest growing brands in the sport, with an estimated $600 million in sales. Woods has been described as the `` ultimate endorser '' for Nike Golf, frequently seen wearing Nike gear during tournaments, and even in advertisements for other products. Woods receives a percentage from the sales of Nike Golf apparel, footwear, golf equipment, golf balls, and has a building named after him at Nike 's headquarters campus in Beaverton, Oregon. Woods visiting aircraft carrier USS George Washington ( CVN - 73 ) in the Persian Gulf before participating in the 2004 Dubai Desert Classic In 2002, Woods was involved in every aspect of the launch of Buick 's Rendezvous SUV. A company spokesman stated that Buick was happy with the value of Woods ' endorsement, pointing out that more than 130,000 Rendezvous vehicles were sold in 2002 and 2003. `` That exceeded our forecasts, '' he was quoted as saying, `` It has to be in recognition of Tiger. '' In February 2004, Buick renewed Woods ' endorsement contract for another five years, in a deal reportedly worth $40 million. Woods collaborated closely with TAG Heuer to develop the world 's first professional golf watch, which was released in April 2005. The lightweight, titanium - construction watch, designed to be worn while playing the game, incorporates numerous innovative design features to accommodate golf play. It is capable of absorbing up to 5,000 Gs of shock, far in excess of the forces generated by a normal golf swing. In 2006, the TAG Heuer Professional Golf Watch won the prestigious iF product design award in the Leisure / Lifestyle category. Woods preparing for a photo shoot in 2006 Woods also endorsed the Tiger Woods PGA Tour series of video games ; he has done so since 1999. In 2006, he signed a six - year contract with Electronic Arts, the series ' publisher. In February 2007, Woods, Roger Federer and Thierry Henry became ambassadors for the `` Gillette Champions '' marketing campaign. Gillette did not disclose financial terms, though an expert estimated the deal could total between $10 million and $20 million. In October 2007, Gatorade announced that Woods would have his own brand of sports drink starting in March 2008. `` Gatorade Tiger '' was his first U.S. deal with a beverage company and his first licensing agreement. Although no figures were officially disclosed, Golfweek magazine reported that it was for five years and could pay him as much as $100 million. The company decided in early fall 2009 to discontinue the drink due to weak sales. In October 2012, it was announced that Woods had signed an exclusive endorsement deal with Fuse Science, Inc, a sports nutrition firm. In 1997, Woods and golfer Arnold Palmer initiated a case against Bruce Matthews ( the owner of Gotta Have It Golf, Inc. ) and others in the effort to stop the unauthorized sale of their images and alleged signatures in the memorabilia market. Matthews and associated parties counterclaimed that Woods and his company, ETW Corporation, committed several acts including breach of contract, breach of implied duty of good faith, and violations of Florida 's Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act. Palmer also was named in the counter-suit, accused of violating the same licensing agreement in conjunction with his company Arnold Palmer Enterprises. On March 12, 2014, a Florida jury ruled in favor of Gotta Have It on its breach of contract and other related claims, rejected ETW 's counterclaims, and awarded Gotta Have It $668,346 in damages. The award may end up exceeding $1 million once interest has been factored in, though the ruling may be appealed. In August 2016, Woods announced that he would be seeking a new golf equipment partner after the news of Nike 's exit from the equipment industry. It was announced on January 25, 2017, that he would be signing a new club deal with TaylorMade. He added the 2016 M2 driver along with the 2017 M1 fairway woods, with irons to be custom made at a later date. He also added his Scotty Cameron Newport 2 GSS, a club he used to win 13 of his 14 majors. Also, in late 2016, he would add Monster Energy as his primary bag sponsor, replacing MusclePharm. Accumulated wealth According to Golf Digest, Woods made $769,440,709 from 1996 to 2007, and the magazine predicted that Woods would pass one billion dollars in earnings by 2010. In 2009, Forbes confirmed that Woods was indeed the world 's first athlete to earn over a billion dollars in his career, after accounting for the $10 million bonus Woods received for the FedEx Cup title. The same year, Forbes estimated his net worth to be $600 million, making him the second richest person of color in the United States, behind only Oprah Winfrey. In 2015, Woods ranked ninth in Forbes ' list of world 's highest - paid athletes, being the top among Asian Americans or the fourth among African Americans. Woods is currently considered to be the highest - paid golfer. Tiger - Proofing Early in Woods ' career, a small number of golf experts expressed concern about his impact on the competitiveness of the game and the public appeal of professional golf. Sportswriter Bill Lyon of Knight Ridder asked in a column, `` Is n't Tiger Woods actually bad for golf? '' ( though Lyon ultimately concluded that he was not ). At first, some pundits feared that Woods would drive the spirit of competition out of the game of golf by making existing courses obsolete and relegating opponents to simply competing for second place each week. A related effect was measured by University of California economist Jennifer Brown, who found that other golfers scored higher when competing against Woods than when he was not in the tournament. The scores of highly skilled ( exempt ) golfers are nearly one stroke higher when playing against Woods. This effect was larger when he was on winning streaks and disappeared during his well - publicized slump in 2003 -- 04. Brown explains the results by noting that competitors of similar skill can hope to win by increasing their level of effort, but that, when facing a `` superstar '' competitor, extra exertion does not significantly raise one 's level of winning while increasing risk of injury or exhaustion, leading to reduced effort. Many courses in the PGA Tour rotation ( including major championship sites like Augusta National ) have added yardage to their tees in an effort to reduce the advantage of long hitters like Woods, a strategy that became known as `` Tiger - Proofing ''. Woods said he welcomed the change, in that adding yardage to courses did not affect his ability to win. Career achievements Main article : List of career achievements by Tiger Woods Woods has won 80 official PGA Tour events, including 14 majors. He is 14 -- 1 when going into the final round of a major with at least a share of the lead. Multiple golf experts have heralded Woods as `` the greatest closer in history ''. He owns the lowest career scoring average and the most career earnings of any player in PGA Tour history. Woods ' victory at the 2013 Players Championship also marked a win in his 300th PGA Tour start. He also won golf tournaments in his 100th ( in 2000 ) and 200th ( in 2006 ) tour starts. Woods has spent the most consecutive and cumulative weeks atop the world rankings. He is one of five players ( along with Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, and Jack Nicklaus ) to have won all four professional major championships in his career, known as the Career Grand Slam, and was the youngest to do so. Woods is the only player to have won all four professional major championships in a row, accomplishing the feat in the 2000 -- 2001 seasons.

After Usain Bolt and Michael Phelps, he holds the third highest number of Guinness World Records claimed by a sportsman within one discipline.

However, when he did not upgrade his equipment in the following years ( insisting upon the use of True Temper Dynamic Gold steel - shafted clubs and smaller steel clubheads that promoted accuracy over distance ), many opponents caught up to him. Phil Mickelson even made a joke in 2003 about Woods using `` inferior equipment '', which did not sit well with Nike, Titleist or Woods. During 2004, Woods finally upgraded his driver technology to a larger clubhead and graphite shaft, which, coupled with his clubhead speed, made him one of the Tour 's lengthiest players off the tee once again. Despite his power advantage, Woods has always focused on developing an excellent all - around game. Although in recent years he has typically been near the bottom of the Tour rankings in driving accuracy, his iron play is generally accurate, his recovery and bunker play is very strong, and his putting ( especially under pressure ) is possibly his greatest asset. He is largely responsible for a shift to higher standards of athleticism amongst professional golfers, and is known for utilizing more hours of practice than most. From mid-1993 ( while he was still an amateur ) until 2004, Woods worked almost exclusively with leading swing coach Butch Harmon. From mid-1997, Harmon and Woods fashioned a major redevelopment of Woods ' full swing, achieving greater consistency, better distance control, and better kinesiology. The changes began to pay off in 1999. From March 2004 to 2010, Woods was coached by Hank Haney, who worked on flattening his swing plane. Woods continued to win tournaments with Haney, but his driving accuracy dropped significantly. Haney resigned in May 2010 and was replaced by Sean Foley. Fluff Cowan served as Woods ' caddie from the start of his professional career until Woods dismissed him in March 1999. He was replaced by Steve Williams, who became a close friend of Woods and is often credited with helping him with key shots and putts. In June 2011, Woods dismissed Williams and replaced him with friend Bryon Bell on an interim basis. Joe LaCava, a former caddie of both Fred Couples and Dustin Johnson, was hired by Woods shortly after and has remained Woods ' caddie since then, but he has seen limited work.

Other ventures Tiger Woods Foundation The Tiger Woods Foundation was established in 1996 by Woods and his father Earl, with the primary goal of promoting golf among inner - city children. The foundation has conducted junior golf clinics across the country, and sponsors the Tiger Woods Foundation National Junior Golf Team in the Junior World Golf Championships. As of December 2010, TWF employed approximately 55 people. The foundation operates the Tiger Woods Learning Center, a $50 million, 35,000 - square - foot ( 3,250 m2 ) facility in Anaheim, California, providing college - access programs for underserved youth. The TWLC opened in 2006 and features seven classrooms, extensive multi-media facilities and an outdoor golf teaching area. The center has since expanded to four additional campuses : two in Washington, D.C. ; one in Philadelphia ; and one in Stuart, Florida. Woods giving a speech at We Are One : The Obama Inaugural Celebration at the Lincoln Memorial ( January 2009 ) The foundation benefits from the annual Chevron World Challenge and AT&T National golf tournaments hosted by Woods. In October 2011, the foundation hosted the first Tiger Woods Invitational at Pebble Beach. Other annual fundraisers have included the concert events Block Party, last held in 2009 in Anaheim, and Tiger Jam, last held in 2011 in Las Vegas after a one - year hiatus. Tiger Woods Design In November 2006, Woods announced his intention to begin designing golf courses around the world through a new company, Tiger Woods Design. A month later, he announced that the company 's first course would be in Dubai as part of a 25.3 million - square - foot development, The Tiger Woods Dubai. The Al Ruwaya Golf Course was initially expected to finish construction in 2009. As of February 2010, only seven holes had been completed ; in April 2011, The New York Times reported that the project had been shelved permanently. In 2013, the partnership between Tiger Woods Design and Dubai Holding was dissolved. Tiger Woods Design has taken on two other courses, neither of which has materialized. In August 2007, Woods announced The Cliffs at High Carolina, a private course in the Blue Ridge Mountains near Asheville, North Carolina. After a groundbreaking in November 2008, the project suffered cash flow problems and suspended construction. A third course, in Punta Brava, Mexico, was announced in October 2008, but incurred delays due to issues with permits and an environmental impact study. Construction on the Punta Brava course has not yet begun. These projects have encountered problems that have been attributed to factors that include overly optimistic estimates of their value, declines throughout the global economy ( particularly the U.S. crash in home prices ), and the decreased appeal and marketability of Woods following his 2009 infidelity scandal. Writings Woods wrote a golf instruction column for Golf Digest magazine from 1997 to February 2011. In 2001 he wrote a best - selling golf instruction book, How I Play Golf, which had the largest print run of any golf book for its first edition, 1.5 million copies. In March 2017, he published a memoir, The 1997 Masters : My Story, co-authored by Lorne Rubenstein, which focuses on his first Masters win. Personal Life Marriage and children In November 2003, Woods became engaged to Elin Nordegren, a Swedish former model and daughter of former minister of migration Barbro Holmberg and radio journalist Thomas Nordegren. They were introduced during The Open Championship in 2001 by Swedish golfer Jesper Parnevik, who had employed her as an au pair. They married on October 5, 2004, at the Sandy Lane resort in Barbados, and lived at Isleworth, a community in Windermere, a suburb of Orlando, Florida. In 2006, they purchased a $39 - million estate in Jupiter Island, Florida, and began constructing a 10,000 - square - foot home ; Woods moved there in 2010 following the couple 's divorce. Woods and Nordegren 's first child was a girl born in 2007, whom they named Sam Alexis Woods. Woods chose the name because his own father had always called him Sam. Their son, Charlie Axel Woods, was born in 2009. Infidelity scandal and fallout In November 2009, the National Enquirer published a story claiming that Woods had had an extramarital affair with New York City nightclub manager Rachel Uchitel, who denied the claim. Two days later, around 2 : 30 a.m. on November 27, Woods was driving from his Florida mansion in his Cadillac Escalade SUV when he collided with a fire hydrant, a tree, and several hedges near his home. He was treated for minor facial lacerations and received a ticket for careless driving. Following intense media speculation about the cause of the accident, Woods released a statement on his website and took sole responsibility for the accident, calling it a `` private matter '' and crediting his wife for helping him from the car. On November 30, Woods announced that he would not be appearing at his own charity golf tournament, the Chevron World Challenge, nor any other tournaments in 2009, due to his injuries. On December 2, following Us Weekly 's previous day reporting of a purported mistress and subsequent release of a voicemail message allegedly left by Woods for the woman, Woods released a further statement. He admitted `` transgressions '' and apologized to `` all of those who have supported ( him ) over the years '', while reiterating his and his family 's right to privacy. Over the next few days, more than a dozen women claimed in various media outlets to have had affairs with Woods. On December 11, he released a third statement admitting to infidelity and apologizing again, as well as announcing that he would be taking `` an indefinite break from professional golf. '' In the days and months following Woods 's admission of multiple infidelities, several companies re-evaluated their relationships with him. Accenture, AT&T, Gatorade and General Motors completely ended their sponsorship deals, while Gillette suspended advertising featuring Woods. TAG Heuer dropped Woods from advertising in December 2009 and officially ended their deal when his contract expired in August 2011. Golf Digest suspended Woods 's monthly column beginning with the February 2010 issue. In contrast, Nike continued to support Woods, as did Electronic Arts, which was working with Woods on the game Tiger Woods PGA Tour Online. A December 2009 study estimated the shareholder loss caused by Woods 's affairs to be between $5 billion and $12 billion. On February 19, 2010, Woods gave a televised statement in which he said he had undertaken a 45 - day therapy program beginning at the end of December. He again apologized for his actions. `` I thought I could get away with whatever I wanted to, '' he said. `` I felt that I had worked hard my entire life and deserved to enjoy all the temptations around me. I felt I was entitled. Thanks to money and fame, I did n't have to go far to find them. I was wrong. I was foolish. '' He said he did not know yet when he would be returning to golf. He announced a few weeks later on March 16 that he would play in the 2010 Masters Tournament on April 8. After seven years of marriage, Woods and his wife Elin divorced on August 23, 2010. 2017 arrest On May 29, 2017, Woods was arrested near his Jupiter Island, Florida, home by the Palm Beach County Sheriff 's Office at about 3 : 00 a.m. EDT for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. He was asleep in his car, which was stationary in a traffic lane with its engine running. He later stated that he was taking prescription drugs and did not realize how they might interact together. On July 3, 2017, Woods tweeted that he had completed an out - of - state intensive program to tackle an unspecified issue. On August 9, 2017, Woods, who skipped his arraignment, entered a not guilty plea through his attorney Douglas Duncan and agreed to take part in a first - time DUI offender program and attend another arraignment on October 25. At a hearing on October 27, 2017, Woods pleaded guilty to reckless driving. He received a year of probation, was fined $250, and ordered to undergo 50 hours of community service along with regular drug tests. He was not allowed to drink alcohol during the probation, and if he violates the probation he will be sentenced to 90 days in jail with an additional $500 fine. Other pursuits United States President Barack Obama and Woods meet in the Oval Office, April 2009 Woods shoots a handgun at a shooting range outside San Diego. Woods was raised as a Buddhist, and he actively practiced his faith from childhood until well into his adult, professional golf career. In a 2000 article, Woods was quoted as saying that he `` believes in Buddhism... not every aspect, but most of it. '' He has attributed his deviations and infidelity to his losing track of Buddhism. He said, `` Buddhism teaches me to stop following every impulse and to learn restraint. Obviously I lost track of what I was taught. '' Woods is registered as an independent voter. In January 2009, Woods delivered a speech commemorating the military at the We Are One : The Obama Inaugural Celebration at the Lincoln Memorial. In April 2009, Woods visited the White House while promoting the golf tournament he hosts, the AT&T National. In December 2016 and again in November 2017, Woods played golf with President Donald Trump at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach. Woods underwent laser eye surgery in 1999. Before this surgery, he was severely myopic, his eyesight having a rating of 11 diopters. The surgery was successful ( it has meant that he does not need to wear glasses or use contact lenses ), as he immediately started winning tour events. He received money from TLC Laser Eye Centers to endorse them. In 2007, he had further laser eye surgery when his vision began to deteriorate again. On March 18, 2013, Woods announced that he and Olympic gold medal skier Lindsey Vonn were dating. They split up in May 2015.

{ "text": "Fifty Shades ( novel series ) - wikipedia Fifty Shades ( novel series ) For the film series, see Fifty Shades ( film series ). Fifty Shades Trilogy pack set Fifty Shades of Grey Fifty Shades Darker Fifty Shades Freed Grey Darker Author E.L. James Country United Kingdom Language English Genre Erotic romance Publisher Vintage Books Published 2011 -- 2017 Media type Print ( Paperback ) Fifty Shades is a series of erotic novels by E.L. James. Initially a trilogy consisting of Fifty Shades of Grey ( 2011 ), Fifty Shades Darker, and Fifty Shades Freed ( 2012 ), the series traces the deepening relationship between a college graduate, Anastasia Steele, and a young business magnate, Christian Grey. Grey introduces Ana to the world of BDSM. James has spoken of her shock at the success of the book, `` The explosion of interest has taken me completely by surprise '' she said. James has described the Fifty Shades trilogy as `` my midlife crisis, writ large. All my fantasies in there, and that 's it. '' She did not start to write until January 2009, as she revealed while still active on FanFiction.Net : `` I started writing in January 2009 after I finished the Twilight saga, and I have n't stopped since. I discovered Fan Fiction in August 2009. Since then I have written my two fics and plan on doing at least one more. After that... who knows? '' In August 2013, sales of the trilogy saw James top the Forbes ' list of the highest - earning authors with earnings of $95 m which included $5 m for the film rights to Fifty Shades of Grey. However, the books have also been largely panned by critics, with the first entry in particular `` being ridiculed by virtually every critic who has read it. '' Since 2015 the series has been expanded with a parallel set of novels `` as told by Christian '' : Grey follows the events of Fifty Shades of Grey but from the perspective of Christian Grey, while Darker ( 2017 ) does the same for the plot of Fifty Shades Darker.

Carla May Wilks : Ana 's mother. Ethan Kavanagh : Kate Kavanagh 's older brother. Critical reception ( edit ) Salman Rushdie said about the book : `` I 've never read anything so badly written that got published. It made Twilight look like War and Peace. '' Maureen Dowd described the book in The New York Times as being written `` like a Brontë devoid of talent, '' and said it was `` dull and poorly written. '' Jesse Kornbluth of The Huffington Post said : `` As a reading experience, Fifty Shades... is a sad joke, puny of plot ''. Princeton professor April Alliston wrote, `` Though no literary masterpiece, Fifty Shades is more than parasitic fan fiction based on the recent Twilight vampire series. '' Entertainment Weekly writer Lisa Schwarzbaum gave the book a `` B + '' rating and praised it for being `` in a class by itself. '' British author Jenny Colgan in The Guardian wrote `` It is jolly, eminently readable and as sweet and safe as BDSM ( bondage, discipline, sadism and masochism ) erotica can be without contravening the trade descriptions act '' and also praised the book for being `` more enjoyable '' than other `` literary erotic books ''. However, The Telegraph criticized the book as `` treacly cliché '' but also wrote that the sexual politics in Fifty Shades of Grey will have female readers `` discussing it for years to come. '' A reviewer for the Ledger - Enquirer described the book as guilty fun and escapism, but that it `` also touches on one aspect of female existence ( female submission ). And acknowledging that fact -- maybe even appreciating it -- should n't be a cause for guilt. '' The New Zealand Herald stated that the book `` will win no prizes for its prose '' and that `` there are some exceedingly awful descriptions, '' but it was also an easy read ; `` ( If you only ) can suspend your disbelief and your desire to -- if you 'll pardon the expression -- slap the heroine for having so little self respect, you might enjoy it. '' The Columbus Dispatch stated that, `` Despite the clunky prose, James does cause one to turn the page. '' Metro News Canada wrote that `` suffering through 500 pages of this heroine 's inner dialogue was torturous, and not in the intended, sexy kind of way ''. Jessica Reaves, of the Chicago Tribune, wrote that the `` book 's source material is n't great literature '', noting that the novel is `` sprinkled liberally and repeatedly with asinine phrases '', and described it as `` depressing ''. The book garnered some accolades. In December 2012, it won both `` Popular Fiction '' and `` Book of the Year '' categories in the UK National Book Awards. In that same month, Publishers Weekly named E.L. James the ' Publishing Person of the Year ', causing an `` outcry from the literary world ''. For example, `` What was Publishers Weekly thinking? '' asked Los Angeles Times writer Carolyn Kellogg, while a New York Daily News headline read, `` Civilization ends : E.L. James named Publishers Weekly 's ' Person of the Year '. '' Depiction of BDSM ( edit ) Fifty Shades trilogy has also attracted criticism due to its depictions of BDSM, with Katie Roiphe of Newsweek asking `` But why, for women especially, would free will be a burden?... It may be that power is not always that comfortable, even for those of us who grew up in it ; it may be that equality is something we want only sometimes and in some places and in some arenas ; it may be that power and all of its imperatives can be boring. '' Zap2it 's Andrea Reiher expressed frustration at Roiphe 's depiction of the series, stating that `` ( b ) eing submissive sexually is not tantamount to being the victim of abuse '' or that they 're `` giving up their power or their equality with their partner ''. Other sites such as Jezebel have responded to the article, with Jezebel listing reasons for Fifty Shades of Grey 's popularity, stating that `` the vast majority of fans fawn over the emotional relationship Anastasia and Christian have, not about the sex. '' In an interview with Salon, several dominatrices have responded that while submission can be an escape from daily stresses, they also frequently have male clients and that trust is a big factor in dominant / submissive relationships. One interviewed former dominatrix and author, Melissa Febos, stated that even if the book 's popularity was a result of women 's `` current anxieties about equality '' that it `` does n't mean that it 's ' evidence of unhappiness, or an invalidation of feminism, '... it might actually be a sign of progress that millions of women are so hungrily pursuing sexual fantasies independent of men. '' Writing in The Huffington Post, critic Soraya Chemaly argued that interest in the series was not a trend, but squarely within the tradition and success of the romance category which is driven by tales of virgins, damaged men and submission / dominance themes. Instead, she wrote, the books are notable not for transgressive sex but for how women are using technology to subvert gendered shame by exploring explicit sexual content privately using e-readers. Instead of submission fantasies representing a post-feminist discomfort with power and free will, women 's open consumption, sharing and discussion of sexual content is a feminist success. At the beginning of the media hype, Dr. Drew and sexologist Logan Levkoff discussed the book on The Today Show, about whether Fifty Shades perpetuated violence against women ; Levkoff said that while that is an important subject, this trilogy had nothing to do with it -- this was a book about a consensual relationship. Dr. Drew commented that the book was `` horribly written '' in addition to being `` disturbing '' but stated that `` if the book enhances women 's real - life sex lives and intimacy, so be it. '' Amy Bonomi, a Human Development and Family Studies professor argues that the relationship portrayed is non-consensual : `` Unable to bear the thought of being alone, Christian employs strategies to `` trap '' Anastasia, including keeping his violent tendencies private, limiting Anastasia 's availability of help and support from her friends and family through his nondisclosure agreement and through verbal and nonverbal intimidation, and attempts to convince Anastasia that she finds his punishments pleasurable '' Censorship or removal of books ( edit ) In March 2012, branches of the public library in Brevard County, Florida, removed copies of Fifty Shades of Grey from their shelves, with an official stating that it did not meet the selection criteria for the library and that reviews for the book had been poor. A representative for the library stated that it was due to the book 's sexual content and that other libraries had declined to purchase copies for their branches. Deborah Caldwell - Stone of the American Library Association commented that `` If the only reason you do n't select a book is that you disapprove of its content, but there is demand for it, there 's a question of whether you 're being fair. In a public library there is usually very little that would prevent a book from being on the shelf if there is a demand for the information. '' Brevard County public libraries later made their copies available to their patrons due to public demand. In Macaé, Brazil, Judge Raphael Queiroz Campos ruled in January 2013 that bookstores throughout the city must either remove the series entirely from their shelves or ensure that the books are wrapped and placed out of the reach of minors. The judge stated that he was prompted to make such an order after seeing children reading them, basing his decision on a law stating that `` magazines and publications whose content is improper or inadequate for children and adolescents can only be sold if sealed and with warnings regarding their content ''. Film adaptations ( edit ) Main articles : Fifty Shades ( film series ), Fifty Shades of Grey ( film ), Fifty Shades Darker ( film ), and Fifty Shades Freed ( film ) A film adaptation of the book was produced by Focus Features, Michael De Luca Productions, and Trigger Street Productions, with Universal Pictures and Focus Features securing the rights to the trilogy in March 2012. Universal is also the film 's distributor. Charlie Hunnam was originally cast in the role of Christian Grey alongside Dakota Johnson in the role of Anastasia Steele, but Hunnam gave up the part in October 2013, with Jamie Dornan announced for the role on 23 October. The film was released on 13 February 2015, and became an immediate success, making it to # 1 at the box office with $558.5 million. However, critical reactions were generally negative. After the first film premiered at a special fan screening in New York City on 6 February 2015, director Sam Taylor - Johnson confirmed two sequels to be succeeded after the first film, with Fifty Shades Darker to be released February 10, 2017.

Written by Diane Warren, the song debuted at number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 ( the first # 1 for the band after 28 years together ). It is one of three songs performed by the band for the film, the other two being `` What Kind of Love Are You On '' and `` Sweet Emotion ''. The song stayed at number one for four weeks from September 5 to 26, 1998. The song also stayed at number 1 for several weeks in several other countries. It sold over a million copies in the UK and reached number four on the UK Singles Chart.

Brolin said he missed Streisand when they were asleep, and Warren wrote down the words `` I do n't want to miss a thing '', before there was even a song. Reception ( edit ) `` When I first heard it, '' recalled drummer Joey Kramer, `` it was just a demo with piano and singing. It was difficult to imagine what kind of touch Aerosmith could put on it and make it our own... As soon as we began playing it as a band, then it instantly became an Aerosmith song. '' This song was Aerosmith 's biggest hit, debuting at number 1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, where it stayed for four weeks in September, and reaching number 1 around the world, including Australia, the Philippines, Germany, Ireland, Austria, Norway, Italy, the Netherlands, and Switzerland. The chorus is reminiscent of an earlier song Diane Warren that cowrote : `` Just Like Jesse James '', on Cher 's 1989 album Heart of Stone. The song helped introduce Aerosmith to a new generation and remains a slow dance staple. It was one of many songs written by Warren in that period. The original version was a collaboration between Chicago musician Phil Kosch of Treaty of Paris and Super Happy Fun Club, and nephew of chart topping writer Lou Bega. Bega introduced the two and they penned the initial track, but ultimately Kosch was uncredited. The song was nominated for both an Academy Award for Best Original Song and a Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Original Song. Track listing ( edit ) CD single `` I Do n't Want to Miss a Thing '' -- 4 : 57 `` I Do n't Want to Miss a Thing '' ( Rock Mix ) -- 4 : 30 `` Taste of India '' ( Rock Remix ) -- 5 : 52 `` Animal Crackers '' -- 2 : 35 The song appeared on the Argentine version and a European re-released version of the album Nine Lives. It also appeared on the Japanese version of Just Push Play. CD single 2 `` I Do n't Want to Miss a Thing '' ( Pop Mix ) -- 5 : 03 `` Pink '' ( live ) -- 3 : 48 `` Crash '' -- 4 : 30 `` Crash '' and the original `` Pink '' appeared as tracks 9 and 11, respectively, on all versions of Nine Lives.

It features the band playing the song intertwined with scenes from the film Armageddon. It features an appearance by Steven Tyler 's daughter Liv, who plays Grace Stamper in the film. Steven Tyler injured his knee the day before the shoot, so they used a lot of close - ups because his movement was limited. The video begins with shots of the moon in orbit and several asteroids passing by safely and then a view of Earth before zooming in to show Steven Tyler singing. The shots interchange between the band and Mission Control viewing the band singing via their monitors. As the video progresses it reveals that the band is playing in front of what appears to be the fictional Space Shuttle Freedom. Along with Aerosmith, a full hand orchestra plays in sync with the melody. Then smoke surrounds the orchestra and the members of Aerosmith as Freedom takes off from the launch pad. Finally, the screen goes out as a tearful Grace touches one of the monitors to reach out to her father ( real life father Steven Tyler in the video ; on - screen father Harry Stamper, played by Bruce Willis, in the film ). The video was highly successful and greatly contributed to the song 's success, receiving heavy airplay on MTV and went on to become the second most popular video of 1998, only behind Brandy and Monica 's `` The Boy is Mine ''. It also won awards for MTV Video Music Award for Best Video from a Film, and Best Video at Boston Music Awards.

The Duke boys race around in their customized 1969 Dodge Charger stock car, dubbed ( The ) General Lee, evading crooked and corrupt county commissioner Boss Hogg ( Sorrell Booke ) and his bumbling and corrupt Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane ( James Best ) along with his deputy ( s ), and always managing to get caught in the middle of the various escapades and incidents that often occur in the area. Bo and Luke had previously been sentenced to probation for illegal transportation of moonshine ; their Uncle Jesse made a plea bargain with the U.S. Government to refrain from distilling moonshine in exchange for Bo and Luke 's freedom. As a result, Bo and Luke are on probation and not allowed to carry firearms -- instead, they often use compound bows, sometimes with arrows tipped with dynamite -- or to leave Hazzard County unless they get probation permission from their probation officer, Boss Hogg, although the exact details of their probation terms vary from episode to episode. Sometimes it is implied that they would be jailed for merely crossing the county line ; on other occasions, it is shown that they may leave Hazzard, as long as they are back within a certain time limit. Several other technicalities of their probation also came into play at various times. Corrupt county commissioner Jefferson Davis ( J.D. ) `` Boss '' Hogg, who either runs or has fingers in virtually everything in Hazzard County, is forever angry with the Dukes, especially Bo and Luke, for always foiling his crooked schemes. He is always looking for ways to get them out of the picture so that his plots have a chance of succeeding. Many episodes revolve around Hogg trying to engage in an illegal scheme, sometimes with aid of hired criminal help. Some of these are get - rich - quick schemes, though many others affect the financial security of the Duke farm, which Hogg has long wanted to acquire for various reasons. Other times, Hogg hires criminals from out of town to do his dirty work for him, and often tries to frame Bo and Luke for various crimes as part of these plots. Bo and Luke always seem to stumble over Hogg 's latest scheme, sometimes by curiosity, and often by sheer luck, and put it out of business. Despite the Dukes often coming to his rescue ( see below ), Hogg forever seems to have an irrational dislike of the clan, particularly Bo and Luke, often accusing them of spying on him, robbing or planning to rob him, and other supposedly nefarious actions, as he believes they are generally out to get him. The role of Boss Hogg was played by Sorrell Booke, who performed frequently on radio, stage, and film prior to his role in The Dukes of Hazzard. Boss Hogg is one of only two characters to appear in every episode of the TV series, the other being Uncle Jesse Duke. His namesake is Jefferson Davis, the President of the Confederate States of America. The other main characters of the show include local mechanic Cooter Davenport ( Ben Jones ), who in early episodes was portrayed as a wild, unshaven rebel, often breaking or treading on the edge of the law, before settling down to become the Duke family 's best friend ( he is often referred to as an `` honorary Duke '' ) and owns the local garage ; and Enos Strate ( Sonny Shroyer ), an honest but naive young deputy who, despite his friendship with the Dukes ( and his crush on Daisy ), is reluctantly forced to take part in Hogg and Rosco 's crooked schemes. In the third and fourth seasons, when Enos leaves for his own show, he is replaced by Deputy Cletus Hogg ( Rick Hurst ), Boss 's cousin, who is slightly more wily than Enos but still a somewhat reluctant player in Hogg 's plots. Owing to their fundamentally good natures, the Dukes often wind up helping Boss Hogg out of trouble, albeit grudgingly. More than once Hogg is targeted by former associates who are either seeking revenge or have double crossed him after a scheme has unraveled in one way or another. Sheriff Coltrane also finds himself targeted in some instances. On such occasions, Bo and Luke usually have to rescue their adversaries as an inevitable precursor to defeating the bad guys ; in other instances, the Dukes join forces with Hogg and Coltrane to tackle bigger threats to Hazzard or one of their respective parties. These instances became more frequent as the show progressed, and later seasons saw a number of stories where the Dukes and Hogg ( and Coltrane ) temporarily work together. Production ( edit ) The series was developed from the 1975 film Moonrunners. Created by Gy Waldron in collaboration with ex-moonshiner Jerry Rushing, this movie shares many identical and very similar names and concepts with the subsequent TV series. Although itself essentially a comedy, this original movie was much cruder and edgier than the family - friendly TV series that would evolve from it. In 1977, Waldron was approached by Warner Bros. with the idea of developing Moonrunners into a television series. Waldron reworked various elements from Moonrunners, and from it was devised what would become The Dukes of Hazzard. Production began in October 1978 with the original intention of only nine episodes being produced as mid-season filler. The first five episodes were filmed in Covington and Conyers, Georgia and surrounding areas, including some location work in nearby Atlanta. After completing production on the fifth episode, `` High Octane '', the cast and crew broke for Christmas break, expecting to return in several weeks ' time to complete the ordered run of episodes. In the meantime, executives at Warner Bros. were impressed by the rough preview cuts of the completed episodes and saw potential in developing the show into a full - running series ; part of this plan was to move production from Georgia to the Warner Bros. lot in Burbank, California, primarily to simplify production as well as develop a larger workshop to service the large number of automobiles needed for the series. Rushing appeared as shady used car dealer Ace Parker in the third episode produced, `` Repo Men '' ( the fourth to be broadcast ). Rushing believed this to be the start of a recurring role, in return for which he would supply creative ideas from his experiences : many of the Dukes ( and thus Moonrunners ) characters and situations were derived from Rushing 's experiences as a youth, and much of the character of Bo Duke he states to be based on him. However, `` Repo Men '' would turn out to be the character 's only appearance in the entire show 's run, leading to a legal dispute in the following years over the rights to characters and concepts between Rushing and Warner Bros., although he remained on good terms with cast and crew and in recent years has made appearances at several fan conventions. By the end of the first ( half ) season, the family - friendly tone of The Dukes of Hazzard was mostly in place. When the show returned for a second season in Fall 1979 ( its first full season ), with a few further minor tweaks, the show quickly found its footing as a family - friendly comedy - adventure series. By the third season, starting in Fall 1980, the template was well set in place for that which would be widely associated with the show. As well as its regular car chases, jumps and stunts, The Dukes of Hazzard relied on character familiarity, with each character effectively serving the same role within a typical episode, and with Deputy Cletus replacing Deputy Enos in Seasons 3 and 4, and Coy and Vance Duke temporarily replacing Bo and Luke ( due to a salary dispute ) for most of Season 5, being the only major cast changes through the show 's run ( Ben Jones and James Best both left temporarily during the second season due to different disputes with producers, but both returned within a few episodes ). Of the characters, only Uncle Jesse and Boss Hogg appeared in all 145 episodes ; Daisy appears in all but one, the third season 's `` To Catch a Duke ''. The General Lee also appears in all but one ( the early first - season episode `` Mary Kaye 's Baby '', the fourth to be produced and the third broadcast ).

More mature and rational than his cousin Bo, he is typically the one who thinks of the plan that will get the two out of whatever trouble they have got into. Luke wears a checked blue shirt ( a plain blue shirt in most, though not all, second - series episodes ) and a denim jacket over it in first season and a few later second - season which means he wears Double Denim episodes and he also wears Dark Blue jeans with a belt with a fish belt buckle with black boots and later brown boots and a few other checker and plaid shirts in later episodes and seasons of the show. He is a veteran of the United States Marine Corps and a former boxer. Luke was the first Duke to perform the `` hood slide '' across The General Lee, which is seen in the opening credits of the show ( a shot taken from the second episode, `` Daisy 's Song '' ) and later told by Tom Wopat to be an accident, because his foot got caught on the side of the General Lee when he attempted to jump across the hood ; he also caught his thigh on the hood 's radio antenna, cutting himself, resulting in such antennas being removed from later versions of the General Lee which those later versions looked similar to the ones in The Dukes of Hazzard film. However, the `` hood slide '' quickly proved popular and became a regular staple of episodes. The only episode to directly reference the age difference between Luke and Bo is in the seventh season opener, the `` flashback '' episode `` Happy Birthday, General Lee, '' where it is stated that Luke had already been in the Marines while Bo was in his last year at high school. Though Bo and Luke share the CB call sign `` Lost Sheep, '' in Season One episode `` Money to Burn, '' Luke referred to himself ( singularly ) as `` Sittin ' Duck. '' Bo Duke ( John Schneider ) is the blond - haired, younger Duke boy ( Wopat and Schneider are nine years apart from each other 's age when Bo and Luke are supposed to be three years apart from each other 's age ). He is more of the `` shoot first, ask questions later '' type than Luke, and is often the one to get the duo into the various scrapes in which they find themselves, although the character did mature slightly as the series progressed ; he is also the one more likely to have his eye, or heart, distracted by a pretty girl. Bo has a crush on many women in some episodes, which proves to be the Achilles ' heel that leads the Dukes into trouble in several episode plots. Bo usually wears a cream - yellow shirt ; it is a stronger yellow in the first and second season, a lighter cream color from the third season, and in the sixth and seventh season has more of a grey hue to it, in season 6 and season 7 he wears a tan brown shirt and more of dark blue jeans. ( The only break from this norm is in the second episode produced and broadcast, `` Daisy 's Song, '' where Bo wears a red shirt for much of the story, and a sequence in the fifth episode, `` High Octane, '' where he wears a light blue shirt. Many early publicity shots show the character to be wearing a dark blue denim shirt. ) For the first two seasons he wears a blue T - shirt underneath ( brown in the first episode ) ; this was slowly phased out during the third season. An ex-stock car driver, Bo is the one who drives The General Lee most of the time with Luke riding shotgun. He and Luke take turns of driving the General Lee in some episodes as they share the car with each other ( very early episodes suggest that it belongs solely to him ; Luke is said to have a car that Cooter had wrecked shortly prior to the start of the opening episode, `` One Armed Bandits '' ). Bo is known for his rebel yell, `` Yeeeee - Haaa, '' which he usually yells when the General Lee is airborne during a jump. The Duke boys share the CB call sign or handle `` Lost Sheep ''. Daisy Duke ( Catherine Bach ) is Bo, Luke, Coy, and Vance 's cousin. She is beautiful, honest, and kind, although she can sometimes be slightly over-trusting and naïve, which has led the Duke family into trouble on a number of occasions, but for the most part can handle herself well. She sometimes aspires to be a songwriter and singer, and at other times, a reporter. She races around Hazzard with her cousins, first in a yellow and black 1974 Plymouth Road Runner ( later a 1972 model was used ) and then, from mid-Season 2 on, in her trademark white 1980 Jeep CJ - 7, christened `` Dixie '' with a golden eagle emblem on the hood ( and the name `` Dixie '' on the hood sides ). Daisy works as a waitress at the Boar 's Nest, the local bar and pub owned by Boss Hogg, as part of an agreement with Boss Hogg so that he would give Uncle Jesse and the boys a loan for a lower interest rate so the boys could purchase the entry fee for a race in which they wished to race the General Lee. The arrangement was supposed to be for an indefinite time, but there are several times throughout the series when Hogg fires her. However, he always ends up rehiring her at the end of each episode because of various circumstances. Although Hogg is a nemesis to Daisy and her family, she is best friends with Hogg 's wife Lulu. Daisy often uses her sex appeal and her position at the restaurant to get insider information to help the Dukes in foiling Hogg 's various schemes. She also has the distinction of having her trademark provocatively high - cut jean short shorts named after her : `` Daisy Dukes ''. Her CB handle is `` Bo Peep. '' Occasionally, the variant of `` Country Cousin '' is used. Jesse Duke ( Denver Pyle ), referred to by just about everyone in Hazzard other than Boss Hogg as `` Uncle Jesse '', is the patriarch of the Duke clan, and the father - figure to all Dukes who stay with him on the somewhat dilapidated `` Duke Farm. '' Jesse apparently has no children of his own, and happily provides for his nephews and niece in the unexplained absence of all of their parents ( Gy Waldron, the creator of the show, states on the DVDs that their parents were killed in a car wreck, but it was never mentioned in the show ). In the third broadcast episode, `` Mary Kaye 's Baby '', Jesse says that he has delivered many babies, including Bo and Luke. Jesse Duke, in his youth, had been a ridge - runner in direct competition with Boss Hogg whom he always calls `` JD ''. However, while both Boss Hogg and Uncle Jesse would scowl at the mention of the other 's name, the two enjoyed a lifelong `` friendship '' of sorts, with one helping the other when in desperate need. Jesse educated his nephews against Hogg, and often provides the cousins with inspirational sage advice. Uncle Jesse drives a white 1973 Ford F - 100 pickup truck. In the barn, he also has his old moonshine - running car, called `` Sweet Tillie '' in its first appearance ( in the first - season episode `` High Octane '' ), but referred to as `` Black Tillie '' in subsequent appearances. In the second - season episode `` Follow That Still '' and the sixth - season episode `` The Boars Nest Bears '', the marriage to and death of his wife is mentioned ; he also mentions marrying her in the first - season episode `` Luke 's Love Story ''. His CB handle is `` Shepherd. '' Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane ( James Best ) ( 1979 -- 1985, 1997, 2000 ) is the bumbling and corrupt sheriff of Hazzard County and right - hand man and brother - in - law of its corrupt county administrator, Jefferson Davis `` J.D. '' Hogg ( `` Boss Hogg '' ), whom Rosco calls his `` little fat buddy '', `` Little Chrome Dome '', `` Little Meadow - Muffin '', and several other names. In the early episodes, it is mentioned that Rosco spent the first 20 years of his career as a mostly honest lawman, but after the county voted away his pension Rosco joined Hogg in an effort to fund his retirement in his last couple of years as sheriff. Early episodes also portray him as a fairly hard - nosed, somewhat darker policeman character, who even shoots a criminal during the first season. As the series progressed and producers recognized how popular it had become with children, James Best altered his portrayal into a more bumbling, comical character. By the end of the first season, his origin had been virtually forgotten ( and his job as sheriff appeared to become open ended ). Rosco is also the younger brother of Lulu Coltrane Hogg ( Boss Hogg 's wife ). Rosco frequently initiates car chases with Bo and Luke Duke, but the Duke boys usually elude Rosco by outwitting him, with Rosco typically wrecking his patrol car as a result from which he would nearly always escape unscathed. ( Only two episodes -- the fourth season 's `` Coltrane vs. Duke '' and season six 's `` Too Many Roscos '' -- toy with the concept of him being injured. The first episode has him faking injury so the Duke Boys would lose the General Lee while the latter has James Best playing two characters. His normal character, Rosco, is presumed drowned while a criminal that looks like Rosco has a headache. ) These chases are often the result of Rosco setting up illegal speed traps such as false or changing speed limit signs and various other trickery, which would evolve into being increasingly more cartoonish and far - fetched as the seasons passed. While he enjoys `` hot pursuit '' he seemingly ( Boss Hogg as well ) never intends for anyone to get seriously hurt. His middle initial, ' P ', was added at the start of the second season, and only one episode ( the third season 's `` Mrs. Rosco P. Coltrane '', in which he is subjected to a scam marriage ) reveals his middle name, `` Purvis ''. Rosco also has a soft spot for his basset hound Flash, introduced at the start of the third season. His radio codename is `` Red Dog ''. When James Best briefly boycotted the show during the mid-second season, he was temporarily replaced by several `` one - off '' Sheriffs, the longest standing being Sheriff Grady Bird, played by Dick Sargent, who appeared in two episodes ( `` Jude Emery '' and `` Officer Daisy Duke '' ). Boss Jefferson Davis `` J.D. '' Hogg ( Sorrell Booke ) is the wealthiest man in Hazzard County and owns most of its property and businesses -- whether directly or by holding the mortgages over the land. Usually dressed in an all - white suit, he is the fat, greedy, corrupt County Commissioner with visions of grandeur, a voracious appetite for food, who constantly orders Rosco to `` Get them Duke Boys! '' He is also Bo and Luke 's Probation officer, when Bo and Luke need to leave Hazzard they always get permission from him. Boss Hogg is also married to ( and dominated by ) Rosco 's `` fat sister '' ( Lulu Hogg ), a point that does not always sit well with either Boss Hogg or Rosco ; Hogg sometimes claims that Rosco is indebted to him because of it, though his on - screen interactions with Lulu typically show him loving her deeply ( and giving in to her stronger personality ). In addition to his role as county commissioner he is also the police commissioner, land commissioner, and bank president. Boss is also the chief of the Hazzard Fire Department and the owner of or primary mortgage holder on most of the places in the county, including the Boar 's Nest, Rhubottem 's Store, Cooter 's garage and the Duke Farm. It is implied in some episodes that he is the Justice of the Peace but in others Hazzard relies on a circuit judge. In the episode `` Coltrane vs. Duke '', Hogg represents Rosco when he sues the Dukes, implying that he is a licensed attorney. His vehicle is a white 1970 Cadillac Coupe de Ville convertible, with bull horns mounted on the hood. In the first few seasons, he is almost always driven around by a chauffeur. His old moonshine - running car was called the `` Grey Ghost ''. Every morning, Boss Hogg would drink coffee and eat raw liver ( Sorrell Booke, a method actor, actually ate the raw liver ). Boss Hogg is described in one analysis as `` an ineffectual bad guy -- hence amusing ''. Cooter Davenport ( Ben Jones ) is the Hazzard County mechanic, nicknamed `` Crazy Cooter '' ( a `` cooter '' is a large freshwater turtle, common in the Southeast ). In the early episodes, he is a wild man, often breaking the law ( such as stealing the Sheriff 's patrol car for impounding his in `` One Armed Bandits '', reportedly borrowing Luke 's car prior to the same episode and using it to `` run the sheriff off the road to make him mad '' to facilitate the aforementioned theft of the sheriff 's car, running moonshine for Boss Hogg in `` Mary Kaye 's Baby '', seemingly breaking into Boss Hogg 's home to retrieve a trophy for an upcoming race in `` Luke 's Love Story '', and `` borrowing '' the President 's Limousine for a joy - ride ( `` Limo One Is Missing '' ) when it is accidentally left unguarded. By the end of the first season, he has settled down and become an easy going good ol ' boy. Although not mentioned in the first couple of episodes, by the mid-first season, he owns `` Cooter 's Garage '' in Hazzard County Square, directly across from the Sheriff 's Department. Cooter is an `` Honorary Duke '', as he shares the same values and often assists the Dukes in escaping Rosco 's clutches, or helps them to foil Boss Hogg 's schemes. During the second season, Ben Jones left the series for a few episodes due to a dispute over whether the character should be clean shaven or have a full beard. In his absence, Cooter 's place was filled by several of Cooter 's supposed cousins who were never mentioned before or since. Jones returned when the dispute was solved -- Cooter would be clean shaven ( although, for continuity reasons, with the episodes being broadcast in a different order to that which they were filmed, he was not clean shaven until the third season onwards ). Cooter drives a variety of trucks, including Fords, Chevys, and GMCs. His CB handle is `` Crazy Cooter '' and he often starts his CB transmissions with `` Breaker one, Breaker one, I might be crazy but I ai n't dumb, Craaaazy Cooter comin ' atcha, come on. '' Deputy Enos Strate ( Sonny Shroyer ) ( 1979 -- 1980, 1982 -- 1985, 1997, 2000 ) is a friend of the Dukes, but, while working for Rosco and Boss is often forced into pursuing the Dukes and / or arresting them on trumped - up charges. In the early episodes, Enos is shown to be a rather good driver ( and respected as such by Bo and Luke ), but by the end of the first season, he is shown to be as incompetent a driver as Rosco. When he returns from his stint in Los Angeles, he seems to be able to stand up to Boss and Rosco slightly more, and sometimes refuses to participate in their schemes. In the early episodes, Rosco frequently calls him `` jackass '', which soon evolved into the more family - friendly `` dipstick '' as the show became a hit with younger viewers ( though Boss Hogg, who would also use the term `` jackass '' of Sheriff Rosco, would occasionally return to calling Enos this in later seasons ). Enos has a crush on Daisy Duke that she often uses to the Dukes ' advantage in unraveling Hogg and Rosco 's schemes. Enos is very much in love with Daisy, and although Daisy seems to love him back, it is supposedly only as a close friend. In the penultimate episode, `` Enos and Daisy 's Wedding '', the two plan on getting married, only to have Enos call it off at the last minute due to an attack of hives, brought on by the excitement of possibly being married to Daisy. Later, in the first reunion movie, Enos and Daisy become a pair again and plan to get married, but this time Daisy backs out at the last minute, upon the unexpected sight of her ex-husband. Deputy Cletus Hogg ( Rick Hurst ) ( 1979 -- 1982, 1997, 2000 ), Boss Hogg 's second cousin twice removed, is generally friendly and dim - witted. Like Enos, Cletus is often forced by Rosco and Hogg to chase the Dukes on trumped up charges. While Cletus is good - hearted, and sometimes resentful of having to treat the Dukes in such a way, he is somewhat more willing to go along with Hogg and Rosco than Enos. Cletus has a crush ( though not as bad as Enos ' crush ) on Daisy and is even convinced she wants to marry him. Like Enos and Rosco, Cletus frequently ends up landing in a pond when pursuing the Duke boys in a car chase. Cletus makes his first appearance as the driver of a bank truck, part of Hogg 's latest get - rich - scheme, in the first - season episode `` Money To Burn '', and becomes temporary deputy while Enos is away in the second - season episodes `` The Meeting '' and `` Road Pirates ''. Leaving a job at the local junkyard, he becomes permanent deputy in the third season 's `` Enos Strate to the Top ''. After Enos ' return, the pair both serve as deputies and share the same patrol car until 1997 's reunion movie. Each of the Hazzard County Sheriff 's Department officers drives various mid - to late - 1970s Chrysler mid-size B body patrol cars, most often a Dodge Monaco or Plymouth Fury. Coy Duke ( Byron Cherry ) ( 1982 -- 1983 ), is another blond - haired cousin who moves to Uncle Jesse 's farm along with his cousin Vance after Bo and Luke left Hazzard to join the NASCAR circuit in season 5. Like his cousin Bo, he often drives the General Lee and is a bit wilder than Vance and chases women ; he and Vance are only in the first 19 episodes of season 5 and Coy and Vance are in only one episode with their cousins Bo and Luke when they return from the NASCAR Circuit. Supposedly, with cousin Vance, Coy had previously lived on the Duke farm until 1976, before the series had started. Vance Duke ( Christopher Mayer ) ( 1982 -- 1983 ), an obvious replacement for Luke, filled the void of a dark - haired Duke on the show. Like Luke, Vance is more the thinker and the planner of the duo along with being more mature than Coy and he is also a former Merchant Marine. The Balladeer ( voice of Waylon Jennings ) sings and plays the Dukes of Hazzard theme song, `` Good Ol ' Boys '', and also serves as the show 's narrator. During each episode, he provides an omniscient viewpoint of the situations presented, and regularly interjects comical asides during crucial plot points ( often, during a freeze frame of a cliffhanger scene right before a commercial break ) and `` down home '' aphorisms. ( These freeze - frame cliffhangers were often abridged in showings in some countries, such as the commercial - free BBC in the United Kingdom. ) After numerous requests from fans to see the Balladeer on - screen, Jennings finally appeared in one episode, the seventh season 's aptly titled `` Welcome, Waylon Jennings '', in which he was presented as an old friend of the Dukes. Flash ( Sandy and others ) is a slow - paced Basset Hound and Rosco 's loyal companion, who hates Hogg but loves the Dukes. She first appeared in the first official third - season episode `` Enos Strate to the Top '' ( season opener `` Carnival of Thrills '' was held over from the previous season ), although was not formally `` introduced '' in that episode. Initially referred to as a boy, Flash is later regularly a girl ( despite an occasional male reference afterwards ). Flash was added at the start of the third season, after James Best suggested to the producers that Rosco have a dog. Rosco doted on Flash, often calling her `` Velvet Ears. '' Flash was portrayed by several Basset Hounds ( distinguishable by different facial colors ), the most regular being `` Sandy ''. James Best bought a share of Sandy, who was rescued from an animal shelter and was trained by Alvin Mears of Alvin Animal Rentals. Sandy lived to age 14. A stuffed dog named Flush was used for dangerous work. The pilot episode was to include a barber modeled after Floyd Lawson on The Andy Griffith Show as a regular character, but was eliminated when the final draft of the pilot 's script was written and before the show was cast. When John Schneider auditioned for the role of Bo Duke, he came to the audition in a dilapidated pickup truck, sporting a week - long beard growth, wearing overalls and a white T - shirt with a pack of cigarettes rolled up in a sleeve collar, and carrying a can of beer, trying to look the part. At the audition, Schneider drank the beer and said he was from Snellville. The producers bought his `` Good Ol ' Boy '' act and Schneider was hired on the spot. Recurring characters ( edit ) Character Actor Info Lulu Coltrane Hogg Peggy Rea Boss Hogg 's wife, Hughie Hogg 's aunt, and Rosco 's sister. Lulu constantly challenged her husband for authority and rallied for the equality of women in Hazzard, and was one of the few people in Hazzard whom Boss was actually intimidated by, though he genuinely loved and cared for her. Although much mentioned, Lulu only appeared once during the first season ( in the episode `` Repo Men '' ) and once during the second season ( `` The Rustlers '' ), before her appearances gradually increased over the third season. By the fourth season, she was a frequently - seen recurring character. Initially in her single first and second season appearances, she was portrayed to be rather spoiled and selfish ; as her appearances increased, the character evolved into being more caring and kind -- often to the contrast of Boss, and which on occasion proved to be his downfall or Achilles ' heel. Although Boss is a nemesis to the Dukes, Lulu is best friends with Daisy. Myrtle / Mabel Tillingham Lindsay Bloom Mabel is Hogg 's cousin who runs the Hazzard Phone Company, who often sneak listens to calls and lets Hogg know what 's going on. Her name mysteriously changed from Myrtle to Mabel midway through the second season. Longstreet B. Davenport Ernie Lively ( credited as Ernie W. Brown ) L.B. was Cooter 's cousin who filled for Cooter when he was away from the garage in several second - season episodes ( in reality, this was to cover for Ben Jones ' absence, after a disagreement with producers as to whether Cooter should have a beard or not ). L.B. appeared in the episodes `` Follow that Still '', `` Duke of Duke '' `` The Runaway '', before Jones returned to the series ; the episode `` Grannie Annie '' also features another temporary Cooter replacement, Mickey Jones as B.B. Davenport. Ernie Lively also played a different character named `` Dobro Doolan '', a friend of Bo and Luke, in the first episode of the series, `` One Armed Bandits '' ( where he was credited as Ernie Brown ), and as a guard called Clyde in the later sixth - season episode `` The Ransom of Hazzard County ''. With Cooter 's temporary absence, it was never fully explained why one of his relations was suddenly running the garage in his place ; and in a similar vein to Coy and Vance in the fifth season, both of these cousins of Cooter were very much clones of the original character, and were never mentioned before or after their temporary spells replacing the original character. Hughie Hogg Jeff Altman Boss Hogg 's young nephew, said to be as crooked as -- maybe even more crooked than -- Hogg. Dressed in an all - white suit just like his Uncle Boss, Hughie drove or was chauffeured around in a white VW Beetle with bull horns on the hood, similar to Boss Hogg 's Cadillac. Typically, Boss Hogg would call in Hughie once per season to come up with a particularly dastardly scheme to get rid of the Dukes. Hughie 's seemingly flawless plots would always end up in disaster, and Boss Hogg would end up throwing him out of Hazzard at the end of the episode. Despite this, Hogg would always give Hughie `` one last chance '' on his next appearance. On some later appearances, Hughie would worm is way back into Hazzard by coming up with a scheme and then persuading Hogg to go along with it, often by bribery. The character of Hughie was first introduced in the episode `` Uncle Boss '', produced as the second episode of the second season but not broadcast until the third season ( for unknown reasons, and just several episodes prior to `` The Return of Hughie Hogg '' ). By that time, Hughie had already been seen as Temporary Sheriff in the second - season episode `` Arrest Jesse Duke '' in which he appeared in a secondary role, written in at the last minute to cover Sheriff Rosco 's absence during James Best 's temporary boycott of the show. He acted somewhat out of character of his usual conniving self in the episode, due to being given most of Rosco 's lines. Like the two Hazzard County deputies, Hughie has eyes for Daisy Duke, but his feelings are merely of a selfish lustful nature ; Daisy despises Hughie, and thus the only reason that she 'll ever appear to return Hughie 's interest is merely to charm him into relaxing his guard or lure him away from a certain area till other townspeople can prepare to act against him, thus preventing him from subjecting Hazzard County to additional corruption. Wayne / Norris Roger Torrey One of Hughie 's loyal duo of henchman. Played by the same actor but with different names on different occasions. Floyd / Barclay Pat Studstill The other of Hughie 's duo of henchman. He and Norris were both bigger than Bo and Luke, but nonetheless struggled in fights against them. Again played by the same actor, but with different names on different occasions. Emery Potter Charlie Dell Emery Potter is the part - time Hazzard County registrar and chief teller of the Hazzard Bank. Emery is a meek, soft - spoken man with a low tolerance for anything exciting. He is a friend of the Dukes, and sometimes falls under Hogg 's crooked schemes simply because he is too timid to stand up for himself. First seen in the second - season episode `` People 's Choice '', the character made several return appearances across the seasons. He has also served as Temporary Deputy on occasion. Dr. Henry `` Doc '' Petticord Patrick Cranshaw Hazzard County 's ancient, long - serving physician. Miz ( Emma ) Tisdale Nedra Volz The postmistress of the Hazzard Post Office, Miz Tisdale ( `` Emma '' to Jesse Duke ) was an elderly woman who drove a motorcycle and had a huge crush on Uncle Jesse because they knew each - other long ago. She was also a reporter for the Hazzard Gazzette. Sheriff Edward Thomas `` Big Ed '' Little Don Pedro Colley The hulking chief law enforcement officer ( driving a 1975 Plymouth Fury patrol car ) of neighboring Chickasaw County, and the only recurring character in the series played by a black actor. Sheriff Little had a tendency to punch and kick fenders and doors off of cars he wrecked, in anger. He was also not afraid to pull out his trusty 12 - gauge shotgun and open fire. He is also a Left hander Police officer, The ill - tempered sheriff hated Bo, Luke, Daisy, Coy, Vance, Uncle Jesse, Cooter, Enos and Cletus immensely and they were well aware that Bo and Luke were not allowed to enter his county. Sheriff Little was constantly irritated by the bumbling performance of Rosco and the crookedness of Hogg, although he thought highly of Enos ; Little was strict, by - the - book, and a competent law officer, everything that Sheriff Rosco was not ( although he too had little luck in capturing Bo and Luke ). He had a wife named Rachel and also a daughter. Before Sheriff Little was introduced, in the third - season episode `` My Son, Bo Hogg '', several first and second - season episodes saw several similar tough - as - nails Sheriffs from adjoining counties. Mr. Rhuebottom John Wheeler A local store owner, seen occasionally from the fourth - season episode `` Pin the Tail on the Dukes '' onwards. ( The Rhuebottom General Store shopfront is seen as early as the first - season episode `` Luke 's Love Story '' ) Dr. `` Doc '' Appleby Elmore Vincent, later Parley Baer Elderly successor to Doc Petticord. Played by Elmore Vincent on the character 's first appearance, in the fourth - season episode `` Dear Diary '', before Parley Baer took over the role in subsequent appearances. Elton Ritchie Montgomery A disc jockey on the local WHOGG radio station, seen in the sixth - season episode `` Enos 's Last Chance '' and the late seventh - season episode `` Strange Visitor To Hazzard '', and referred to along with the radio station in several other episodes. Other than actor M.C. Gainey ( who played Sheriff Rosco in the 2005 movie version and had previously played a villain in the fourth - season episode `` Bad Day in Hazzard '' ), Ritchie Montgomery is the only actor to appear in both episode ( s ) of the TV series and the 2005 movie ( where he plays the small role of a State Trooper ). Montgomery mentions this in a feature on DVD versions of the movie. Notable guest appearances ( edit ) Throughout its network television run, The Dukes of Hazzard had a consistent mix of up - and - comers and established stars make guest appearances.

The race cars supplied for both part 1 and part 2 of Undercover Dukes were supplied by Labonte 's race owner, Billy Hagan. However, the emblems of the sponsors of the cars ( at that time Labonte was sponsored by Budweiser ) were covered to avoid paying royalties. The celebrity speed trap ( edit ) During the show 's second season, the show 's writers began flirting with the idea of incorporating a `` celebrity speed trap '' into some of the episodes, as a means to feature top country stars of the day performing their hits. On its first couple of instances, the `` Speed Trap '' was featured early in the story, but for most of the cases, it was featured in the last few minutes of an episode, often used when the main story was running too short to fill episode time. The `` celebrity speed trap '' feature was essentially similar : Aware that a big - name country star was passing through the area, Boss Hogg would order Rosco to lower the speed limit on a particular road to an unreasonable level ( using a reversible sign, with one speed limit on one side and another, far lower, on the back ), so that the targeted singer would be in violation of the posted limit. The singer would be required to give a free performance at the Boar 's Nest in exchange for having their citations forgiven ; the performer would then perform one of their best - known hits or other popular country music standard, while the Dukes, Boss, Rosco, Enos, Cletus, Cooter, and other patrons whooped and hollered in enjoyment of the performance. More often than not, the performer would give a sarcastic parting shot to Boss and Rosco. Singers who were featured in the `` speed trap '' segments were : Hoyt Axton Donna Fargo Freddy Fender Doug Kershaw ( on the original soundtrack ) The Oak Ridge Boys ( twice ) Roy Orbison Buck Owens Johnny Paycheck ( lip - syncing an original recording ) Mel Tillis Dottie West Tammy Wynette Waylon Jennings ( the show 's narrator ) Honorable Mentions : Mickey Gilley, Loretta Lynn Gilley 's and Lynn 's appearances were not solely for the celebrity speed trap. After performing a concert in Hazzard, Gilley was nabbed while leaving and forced to do a second show to nullify his citation. Lynn was kidnapped by criminals wanting to break into the music business. Loretta Lynn was the very first country music guest star on the show in 1979 and had an entire show titled `` Find Loretta Lynn. '' Note : Janie Fricke was the only guest country star who did not perform a song, celebrity speed trap or otherwise. She played an accomplice to a robber in an episode who hid money in the dashboard of the car that was to become the General Lee. Casting of Coy & Vance ( edit ) Christopher Mayer and Byron Cherry as Vance and Coy Duke, respectively The Dukes of Hazzard was consistently among the top - rated television series ( at one point, ranking second only to Dallas, which immediately followed the show on CBS ' Friday night schedule ). With that success came huge profits in merchandising, with a wide array of Dukes of Hazzard toys and products being licensed and becoming big sellers. However, over the course of the show 's fourth season, series stars Tom Wopat and John Schneider became increasingly concerned about a contract dispute over their salaries and merchandising royalties owed to them over the high sales of Dukes products. Neither were being paid what was owed to them and this became very frustrating to the duo. As a result, in the spring of 1982, as filming was due to begin on the fifth season, Wopat and Schneider did not report to the set in protest over the matter. Catherine Bach also considered walking out due to similar concerns, but Wopat and Schneider convinced her to stay, insisting that if she left then there may not be a show to come back to, and that settling the issue was up to them. Production was pushed back by a few weeks as fairly similar looking replacements were subsequently, hastily hired : Byron Cherry as Coy Duke and Christopher Mayer as Vance Duke. Bo and Luke were said to have gone to race on the NASCAR circuit ; how they managed to do this, bearing in mind the terms of their probation, was never explained. Cherry and Mayer were originally contracted at just ten episodes as stand - ins, still with hope that a settlement might be reached with Wopat and Schneider ( in total, they made 19 episodes including 1 with Bo and Luke ). Some scripts for Coy and Vance were originally written for Bo and Luke but with their names quite literally crossed out and Coy and Vance penned in. The new Dukes -- previously - unmentioned nephews of Uncle Jesse, who were said to have left the farm in 1976, before the show had started -- were unpopular with the great majority of viewers, and the ratings immediately sank. Much of the criticism was that Coy and Vance were nothing but direct clones of Bo and Luke, with Coy a direct `` carbon copy '' replacement for Bo and Vance for Luke, with little variation in character. This was something that even show creator Gy Waldron has said was wrong, and that he insisted, unsuccessfully, that audiences would not accept direct character clones and the two replacements should be taken in a different direction characterwise, but was overridden by producers. Waldron also commented that if Bach too had walked, the show would have most probably been cancelled. It was reported that prior to filming, Cherry and Mayer were given Bo and Luke episodes to watch, to study and learn to emulate them, although Cherry has said in interviews that he does n't recall this ever happening. Hit hard by the significant drop in ratings, Warner Bros. renegotiated with Wopat and Schneider, and eventually a settlement was reached, and the original Duke boys returned to the series in early 1983, four episodes from the conclusion of the fifth season. Initially, part of the press release announcing Wopat and Schneider 's return suggested that Cherry and Mayer would remain as part of the cast ( though presumably in a reduced role ), but it was quickly realized that `` four Duke boys '' would not work within the context of the series, and due to the huge unpopularity associated with their time on the show, they were quickly written out of the same episode in which Bo and Luke returned. Return of Bo and Luke ( edit ) Although Coy and Vance were never popular with the majority, a few viewers were disappointed by their departure episode, `` Welcome Back, Bo ' N ' Luke '', which was for the most part a standard episode, with the return of Bo and Luke and the departure of Coy and Vance tacked onto the beginning ( Bo and Luke return from their NASCAR tour just as Coy and Vance leave Hazzard to tend to a sick relative ). Even a few viewers commented that they were disappointed by this, and that they would have liked to have seen both pairs of Duke boys team up to tackle a particularly dastardly plot by Boss Hogg before Coy and Vance 's departure, but as it turned out, Coy and Vance had little dialogue and were gone by the first commercial break, never to be seen again. While the return of Bo and Luke was welcomed by ardent and casual viewers alike, and as a result ratings recovered slightly, the show never completely regained its former popularity. One of Wopat and Schneider 's disputes even before they left was what they considered to be increasingly weak and formulaic scripts and episode plots. With Wopat and Schneider 's return, the producers agreed to try a wider scope of storylines. However, although it continued for two more seasons, the show never fully returned to its former glory. Many cast members decried the miniature car effects newly incorporated to depict increasingly absurd General Lee and patrol car stunts ( which had previously been performed with real cars by stunt drivers ). The miniature car effects were intended as a budget saving measure ( to save the cost of repairing or replacing damaged vehicles ) and to help compete visually with KITT from the NBC series Knight Rider. In February 1985, The Dukes of Hazzard ended its run after seven seasons. Vehicles ( edit ) Main article : General Lee ( car ) The General Lee ( Dodge Charger ) ( edit ) The General Lee Charger The General Lee on public display The General Lee was based on a 1969 Dodge Charger owned by Bo and Luke ( the series used mostly 1969 Chargers in the beginning ; later on, they also modified 1968 Chargers to look like 1969s by installing 1969 - model taillamps, taillamp panels, and grilles ). It was orange with a Confederate battle flag painted on the roof, the words `` GENERAL LEE '' over each door, and the number `` 01 '' on each door. In the original five Georgia - filmed episodes, a Confederate flag along with a checkered racing flag in a criss - cross pattern could be seen behind the rear window ; this was removed when it was felt that this extra detail did not show up enough on - screen to warrant the already very tight time constraints of preparing and repairing each example of the car. The name refers to the American Civil War Confederate General Robert E. Lee. The television show was based on the movie Moonrunners, in turn based on actual moonshine runners who used a 1958 Chrysler named Traveler, after General Lee 's horse ( with a slight spelling change ). Traveler was originally intended to be the name of the Duke boys ' stock car too, until producers agreed that General Lee had more punch to it. Since it was built as a race car, the doors were welded shut. Through the history of the show, an estimated 309 Chargers were used ; 17 are still known to exist in various states of repair. A replica was owned by John Schneider, known as `` Bo 's General Lee. '' In 2008, Schneider sold `` Bo 's General Lee '' at the Barrett - Jackson automobile auction for $230,000. An eBay auction which garnered a bid of $9,900,500 for the car was never finalized, with the purported bidder claiming his account had been hacked. The underside of the hood has the signatures of the cast from the 1997 TV movie. Schneider has also restored over 20 other General Lees to date. In 2008, a replica of the General Lee fetched a high bid of $450,000 at the Barrett - Jackson auto auction, indicating the significant interest in the car as a cultural icon. In 2012, the `` General Lee 1 '', the first car used in filming the series, was purchased at auction by golfer Bubba Watson for $110,000. The car had been scrapped after being wrecked during the famous opening jump shoot, and was later discovered in a junk - yard by the president of the North American General Lee fan club. In 2015, following a wave of sentiment against confederate symbolism in the wake of shootings in Charleston, SC, ( relating to photos where the attacker had posed with the Confederate flag ), Bubba Watson announced that he would remove the Confederate Flag from the roof of General Lee 1 and repaint it with the US National Flag. The show also used 1968 Chargers ( which shared the same sheet metal ) by changing the grille and taillight panel to the 1969 style, and removing the round side marker lights. These Chargers performed many record - breaking jumps throughout the show, almost all of them resulting in a completely destroyed car. The 1970 Chargers were modified by removing the chrome bumper and changing the taillights. The Duke boys added a custom air horn to the General Lee that played the first twelve notes of the song Dixie. The Dixie horn was not originally planned, until a Georgia local hot rod racer drove by and sounded his car 's Dixie horn. The producers immediately rushed after him asking where he had bought the horn. Warner Bros. purchased several Chargers for stunts, as they generally destroyed at least one or two cars per episode. By the end of the show 's sixth season, the Chargers were becoming harder to find, and more expensive. In addition, the television series Knight Rider began to rival the General Lee 's stunts. As such, the producers used 1 : 8 scale miniatures, filmed by Jack Sessums ' crew, or recycled stock jump footage -- the latter being a practice that had been in place to an extent since the second season, and had increased as the seasons passed. Some of the 01 and Confederate flag motifs were initially hand painted, but as production sped up, these were replaced with vinyl decals for quick application ( and removal ), as needed. During the first five episodes of the show that were filmed in Georgia, the cars involved with filming were given to the crew at H&H body shop near the filming location. At this shop, the men worked day and night to prepare the wrecked cars for the next day while still running their body shop during the day. Time was of the essence, and the men that worked at this shop worked hard hours to get the cars prepared for the show. The third episode `` Mary Kaye 's Baby '' is the only one in which the General Lee does not appear. Instead, the Dukes drove around in a blue 1975 Plymouth Fury borrowed from Cooter that Luke later destroyed by shooting an arrow at the car, whose trunk had been leaking due to the moonshine stowed in the back. The Duke boys ' CB handle was ( jointly ) `` Lost Sheep ''. Originally when the show was conceived, their handle was to be `` General Lee '' to match their vehicle, but this was only ever used on - screen on one occasion, in the second episode, `` Daisy 's Song '', when Cooter calls Bo and Luke over the CB by this handle, although they were actually driving Daisy 's Plymouth Roadrunner ( see below ) at the time. As it became obvious that the `` General Lee '' handle would be out of place when the Duke boys were in another vehicle, the `` Lost Sheep '' handle was devised ( with Uncle Jesse being `` Shepherd '' and Daisy being `` Bo Peep '' ). Hazzard police cars ( AMC Matador, Dodge Polara, Dodge Monaco, Plymouth Fury ) ( edit ) 1970 's era Plymouth Fury similar to the ones used in the series The 1975 AMC Matador was one of many different Hazzard County police cars used on the series, mostly in the first season ; they had light bars and working radios. A 1972 Dodge Polara and a 1974 Dodge Monaco were used during the pilot episode `` One Armed Bandits '', these were also seen in the show 's title sequence. From the second season, the 1977 Dodge Monaco was mostly used. From mid-season four the similar looking 1978 Plymouth Fury was used instead. The Matadors and Furies were former Los Angeles Police Department vehicles, while the Monacos were former California Highway Patrol units. Plymouth Road Runner ( edit ) A 1974 Plymouth Road Runner ( yellow with a black stripe ) was Daisy Duke 's car in the first five episodes of the first season. For the last episodes of the first season a similarly painted 1971 model with a matching `` Road Runner '' stripe was used. In the second season Bo and Luke send it off a cliff in `` The Runaway. '' Another identical Plymouth 1971 model car appeared in the background a few more episodes along with the Jeep CJ - 7 until it was finally dropped altogether. Jeep CJ - 7 ( edit ) Dixie was the name given to Daisy Duke 's white 1980 Jeep CJ - 7 `` Golden Eagle '' which had a golden eagle emblem on the hood and the name `` Dixie '' on the sides. Like other vehicles in the show, there was actually more than one Jeep used throughout the series. Sometimes it would have an automatic transmission, and other times it would be a manual. The design of the roll cage also varied across the seasons. When the Jeep was introduced at the end of the second season 's `` The Runaway '', it was seen to have doors and a slightly different paint job, but, bar one appearance in the next produced episode, `` Arrest Jesse Duke '' ( actually broadcast before `` The Runaway '', causing a continuity error ), thereafter the doors were removed and the paint job was made all - white, with `` Dixie '' painted on the sides of the hood. These Jeeps were leased to the producers of the show by American Motors Corporation in exchange for a brief mention in the closing credits of the show. Ford F - 100 pickup truck ( edit ) Uncle Jesse 's truck was a white Ford pickup truck, most commonly a Sixth generation ( 1973 -- 1977 ) F100 Styleside. However, in the earliest episodes it had a Flareside bed, and varied between F100 and F250 models throughout the show 's run. Bo, Luke and Daisy also drove Jesse 's truck on occasion. Cadillac Coupe de Ville ( edit ) A White 1970 Cadillac De Ville convertible was used as Boss Hogg 's car, notably with large bull horns as a hood ornament. In early seasons, Hogg was almost always driven by a chauffeur, who was normally nameless and had little or no dialogue, but identified on occasion as being called `` Alex '' ; and played by several different uncredited actors, including stuntman Gary Baxley. This chauffeur would often be dressed in a red plaid shirt and deep brown or black Stetson hat, but on occasion would be an older man, sometimes dressed in more typical chauffeur attire. Hogg is first seen to drive for himself in the second season opener `` Days of Shine and Roses '', where he and Jesse challenge each other to one last moonshine race. From the fourth season onward, except for a couple of brief reappearances of the chauffeur ( during the fourth season ), Hogg drove himself around in his Cadillac ( or occasionally driven by Rosco and, in the series ' finale, by Uncle Jesse ) and frequently challenged others by invoking his driving expertise from his days as a ridge - runner. Unlike other vehicles in the series, Boss Hogg 's Cadillac is typically treated with kid gloves. The car is almost always seen with its convertible top down, with the top only being seen in two episodes, `` Daisy 's Song '' ( the chauffeur was called `` Eddie '' in this episode ), the second to be produced and broadcast, and briefly in the second - season episode `` Witness for the Persecution '', when Cooter is returning it to the Court House after repairs. Ford custom 500 ( edit ) A Green and blacked out 1971 Ford Custom 500 sedan named Black Tilly was used by Uncle Jesse to make moonshine runs. Theme song ( edit ) Main article : Theme from The Dukes of Hazzard ( Good Ol ' Boys ) The theme song `` The Good Ol ' Boys '' was written and performed by Waylon Jennings. He was also `` The Balladeer '' ( as credited ), and served as narrator of the show. However, the version released as a single is not the same version that was used in the show 's opening credits ; the single version has a repeat of the chorus and an instrumental to pad out the length, uses a different instrumental mix that emphasizes the bass, and replaces the last verse with an inside joke about how the TV show producers `` keep on showing ( Jennings 's ) hands and not ( his ) face on TV. '' In 1980, the song reached # 1 on the American Country chart and peaked at # 21 on the Billboard Hot 100. Broadcast history ( edit ) The series was originally broadcast in America by CBS on Friday nights, at 9 : 00 p.m. and later 8 : 00 p.m., preceding Dallas. Until TNN ( The Nashville Network ) was purchased by Viacom, it aired reruns of The Dukes of Hazzard. Some months after the creation of `` The National Network '' ( shortly before its change to `` Spike TV '' ), the program was absent from much of television for quite some time. Viacom 's country music - themed cable network CMT ( the former sister network to TNN ) aired the show from 2005 to 2007 at 8 : 00 p.m. and 9 : 00 p.m. eastern time every weekday. CMT began airing the series in late February 2005. It also aired Monday -- Thursday on ABC Family. The series was broadcast by BBC1 in the United Kingdom, debuting on Saturday March 3, 1979 at 9 : 00 pm ( just several months after it began in the US ). Popular with all ages ( and as some of the more adult elements of very early episodes faded out of the series ), it quickly moved from its post-watershed position to a more family - friendly Monday evening slot at 7 : 20 pm. Soon a massive hit, it moved from Monday evenings to prime time Saturday evening ( times varied, but typically around 5 : 25 pm ), where it stayed for a number of years. Later when ratings began to dip ( partly caused by the change to Coy and Vance, and partly to do with competition from ITV, with new hit shows such as The A-Team ), it moved back to Mondays, making the odd return for short runs on Saturdays. Late episodes also popped up occasionally on Sunday afternoons, and the remaining episodes of the final season were broadcast on weekday mornings during school holidays in the late 1980s. In 1992, UK satellite channel Sky1 bought a package of the program, owning the rights to the first 60 episodes produced ( running up to `` The Fugitive '' ), showing the series on Saturday afternoons at 4 p.m. They later showed the episodes they owned again, including a stint showing it in a weekday 3 p.m. slot, running for fifty minutes ( including commercials ) with the episodes heavily edited for time as a result, often leaving gaps in the plot. Despite requests from fans, they did not secure the rights to later episodes. The series was later run on the satellite channels Granada Plus and TNT. UK satellite channel Bravo began airing reruns in August 2005. In Brazil, the series was named Os Gatões ( The Big Hunks ), which limited its popularity among the male audience. The series was also shown in the Netherlands by Dutch broadcasting organization AVRO, with Dutch subtitles, rather than being dubbed. It was shown on Nine Network in Australia from September 1979 until the end of the series, and repeated throughout the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s. It was quietly rerun on Pay TV channel TV1 in the 2000s, but is now shown on Nine Network 's subchannel, Go!. The series was popular in Colombia, dubbed to Spanish. Some late - night reruns continue to the present time. In Italy the series started to air in September 1981 on Canale 5, under the title Hazzard and quickly became very popular with the viewers. CMT aired The Dukes Ride Again, a special marathon which featured episodes from the first two seasons, on the weekend of September 10, 2010 and have begun airing episodes weeknights at 7 pm and 11 pm Eastern time starting September 13, 2010. The series aired weekdays on New Zealand 's channel The Box. Previously it aired on TVNZ for its original run, being repeated on Saturday afternoons in the early 1990s. CMT began to re-air The Dukes of Hazzard reruns in high - definition, on January 5, 2014. TV Land began to air The Dukes of Hazzard reruns on June 10, 2015, but removed them just three weeks later as a response to the Charleston church shooting and the ensuing debate over the modern display of the Confederate flag. Syndication ( edit ) Soon before the series ended its original run on CBS, The Dukes of Hazzard went into off - network syndication. Although not as widely run as it was back in the 1980s and the years since, reruns of the program do continue to air in various parts of the United States. Notably, television stations that aired the show in syndication include KCOP Los Angeles, WGN - TV Chicago, KBHK San Francisco, WKBD Detroit, WTAF / WTXF Philadelphia, KTXL Sacramento, WVTV Milwaukee, KMSP Minneapolis -- Saint Paul, among others. Nationwide, the show also aired on ABC Family ( 2000 -- 2001, 2004 ) and CMT ( 2005 -- 2007, 2010 -- 2012, 2014 -- 15 ) and TV Land ( 2015 ) ; TV Land dropped the show in the wake of protests and controversy surrounding the display of the Confederate flag. The Nashville Network bought The Dukes of Hazzard from Warner Bros. in 1997 for well over $10 million ; not only did it improve the network 's ratings, the show was also popular among younger viewers, a demographic TNN had a notorious difficulty in drawing ; The Dukes of Hazzard has run either on TNN or sister network CMT ever since. Nielsen ratings ( edit ) Year Viewers ( Millions ) Rating 1978 -- 1979 21.0 # 20 1979 -- 1980 18.38 # 9 1980 -- 1981 21.81 # 2 1981 -- 1982 18.41 # 6 1982 -- 1983 17.2 # 29 1983 -- 1984 16.4 # 36 1984 -- 1985 13.8 # 61 Episode list ( edit ) Main article : List of The Dukes of Hazzard episodes The show ran for seven seasons and a total of 145 episodes. Many of the episodes followed a similar structure `` out - of - town crooks pull a robbery or commit a crime or scandal, Duke boys blamed, spend the rest of the hour clearing their names, the General Lee flies and the squad cars crash ''. Spin - offs ( edit ) A spin off named Enos aired on CBS starring Sonny Shroyer and lasted 18 episodes before being cancelled. An animated version of the show called The Dukes aired in 1983 and produced by Hanna - Barbera. The first season fell under the Coy and Vance era of the live - action show and thus they were adapted into animated form. By the second season, Bo and Luke had returned, and they replaced Coy and Vance in the cartoon. Several video games based on the show were created : The Dukes of Hazzard for ColecoVision ( 1984 ) and ZX Spectrum ( 1985 ) ; also planned for the Atari 2600 The Dukes of Hazzard : Racing for Home ( 1999 ) The Dukes of Hazzard II : Daisy Dukes It Out ( 2000 ) The Dukes of Hazzard : Return of the General Lee ( 2004 ) In 2005, the Humana Festival of New American Plays premiered a full - length comedy - drama entitled Hazzard County by Allison Moore. The story centers on a young widowed mother and a visit she receives from a big city television producer. Interspersed with recollections of Bo, Luke, and Daisy, the play takes a deep look at southern `` good ol ' boy '' culture and its popularization through the lens of American mass media. In 2014, AutoTrader made a commercial where Bo and Luke shop for a new car while being chased. Films ( edit ) There were two made - for - TV reunion movies that aired on CBS, The Dukes of Hazzard : Reunion! ( 1997 ) and The Dukes of Hazzard : Hazzard in Hollywood ( 2000 ). Also made were The Dukes of Hazzard in 2005 and a direct - to - video prequel The Dukes of Hazzard : The Beginning in 2007. Home media ( edit ) DVD ( edit ) Warner Home Video has released all seven seasons of The Dukes of Hazzard on DVD in Regions 1 and 2. The two TV - movies that followed the series were released on DVD in Region 1 on June 10, 2008 and in Region 4 on June 4, 2014. In Region 4, Warner has released only the first six seasons on DVD and the two TV movies. The Complete Series & 2 unrated feature films box set was released on DVD in Region 1 on November 14, 2017.

Legacy and influence in popular culture ( edit ) In 2005, Tom Wopat and John Schneider were reunited during `` Exposed '', a fifth season episode of the television series Smallville. Wopat guest - starred as Kansas State Senator Jack Jennings, an old friend of Clark Kent 's adoptive father Jonathan Kent ( portrayed by Schneider ). In the episode, Jennings drives a 1968 Dodge Charger -- the same body style as The General Lee. Lizard Lick Towing featured an episode with its repossession specialists Ronnie Shirley and Bobby Brantley repossess a General Lee replica. In 2015, in the wake of renewed debate about the symbolism of the Confederate battle flag ( which was prominently featured on the General Lee ' s roof and panel behind the rear window in the first five episodes ), reruns of the original series were pulled from circulation. Warner Bros., which owns the property, announced it would also no longer create merchandise bearing the flag, including miniatures of the General Lee. Although this has led to people making their own custom General Lees and selling them. Tourist attraction ( edit ) Artifacts from the show are on display in Luray, Virginia, Nashville, Tennessee and in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Cooter 's Place in Luray is overseen by Ben `` Cooter '' Jones from the series. The Gatlinburg location features a gift shop, Dukes of Hazzard - themed indoor mini golf and go - cart track, with a small display of costumes, collectibles and artifacts from the show. Covington and Conyers, Georgia ; where the original five episodes were produced, have been two major tourist attractions for Dukes of Hazzard fans. Dixie Outfitters in Branson, Missouri on Highway 76 has the General Lee and Rosco 's police car signed by Daisy, Cooter, Cletus and Enos.

The film was directed, produced, and written by Tyler Perry, who also makes an appearance in the film as his signature character Madea. Although the film and play share the same title, the film is not an adaptation of Perry 's play of the same name ; the two works have different storylines. Contents ( hide ) 1 Plot 2 Cast 3 Differences from the stage play 4 Music 5 Reception 5.1 Critical reaction 6 References 7 External links Plot ( edit ) This article 's plot summary may be too long or excessively detailed. Please help improve it by removing unnecessary details and making it more concise. ( August 2015 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The film opens with April ( Taraji P. Henson ), a self - centered, alcoholic singer, performing at a nightclub where she works. On the other side of town, Madea ( Tyler Perry ) and Joe Simmons ( Perry ) catch Jennifer ( Hope Olaidè Wilson ), Manny ( Kwesi Boakye ), and Byron ( Freddy Siglar ) breaking into their house. After hearing the children 's troubles, Madea welcomes and feeds them. Jennifer tells Madea that they 're living with their grandmother, whom they have n't seen in four days. They tell Madea that their only other relative is their Aunt April. April shares her home with her shady boyfriend, Randy ( Brian White ), who 's married with children. The next morning, Madea brings the kids to April 's house, but April does n't want to be bothered. Meanwhile, Pastor Brian ( Marvin Winans ) sends a Colombian immigrant named Sandino ( Adam Rodríguez ) to her house for work and a place to stay. April puts Sandino in her basement and wants to lock him down there because she does n't know him that well. While working around the house, Sandino surprises April by cleaning himself up and becoming very handsome. When Randy arrives, he sees April with the kids and Sandino and heckles him while making subtle advances at Jennifer. Shortly afterward, Pastor Brian and Wilma ( Gladys Knight ), a church member, come to inform April that her mother died from a fatal brain aneurysm while riding on a city bus. April is devastated by the news and seeks comfort from Randy ; however, he is sleeping and shrugs her off. Later, Sandino comforts April as she tells him about her mother 's death and the last time she spoke with her. Depressed, Jennifer goes to Madea wanting to know how to pray. However, Madea, inexperienced with prayer, attempts to instruct her in a scene that plays out comically. The same night, Wilma sings `` The Need to Be '', an uplifting song for women, and Tanya ( Mary J. Blige ), the nightclub bartender, sings `` I Can Do Bad ''. Before singing the song, Tanya is fed up with April 's attitude and tries to help her friend, despite the fact that she ca n't help April if she ca n't help herself. Over time, Sandino and April become best friends, and Sandino fixes a ruined bedroom in her house. This makes Manny and Byron happy, but upsets Jennifer, who feels April does not want them there. While on a date, Sandino tells April he does n't understand why she is with Randy and asks if she loves Randy. He tells her what true love is to him. One Sunday morning, Sandino eagerly knocks on April 's bedroom door to get April ready for church, but Randy threatens to have Sandino deported if he continues to spend time with April. Late the next night, Manny needs his insulin shot, and Jennifer goes to the kitchen to get it. As she prepares the shot, Randy approaches and attempts to rape her, but Sandino fights him off. April walks in on the fight and Randy claims Jennifer offered him sex for money. April claims to believe him and sends Randy to take a bath. When he is in the tub, April threatens to electrocute him with a plugged - in radio. Sandino arrives and tries to stop her, but April is enraged, as she explains that she was sexually assaulted by her step - father, who then lied about it to her mother, thus causing April to lose her faith in the people that cared about her. After saying does he want her to put it down twice, she drops the plugged - in radio into the water, giving Randy a severe electric shock. Randy barely jumps out just in time and Sandino orders him to leave. April goes to the bar for a drink and blames herself for not seeing the signs. Sandino tries to stop her from drinking, but she pushes him away. She then asks Sandino if he is a child molester, because of all the attention he gives the children. Sandino tells April of his childhood as a child laborer and explains that he loves the children so much because he sees himself in them. Feeling hurt at her unfair accusations, Sandino says farewell to the children and leaves. Jennifer and April begin to get along and connect after April tells Jennifer about her bad experience as a child. Jennifer tells April that she should recognize Sandino as a good man. Eventually, Sandino returns and April apologizes to him and admits that she loves him like a friend. Sandino tells her that she ca n't love anyone until she learns to love herself. He tells April that he is in love with her but he wants April to love him back the same way he loves her. He shows her by kissing her. Eventually, April and Sandino get married. April and Sandino then hold a block party for their reception with Tanya singing `` Good Woman Down '', dedicated to April, then the new couple is shown embracing and sharing a passionate kiss. Cast ( edit ) Taraji P. Henson as April Adam Rodriguez as Sandino Brian White as Randy Mary J. Blige as Tanya Gladys Knight as Wilma Marvin Winans as Pastor Brian Hope Olaidé Wilson as Jennifer Kwesi Boakye as Manny Freddy Siglar as Byron Tyler Perry as Mabel `` Madea '' Simmons and Uncle Joe Simmons Differences from the stage play ( edit ) Tyler Perry 's famous characters, Mr. Brown and Cora, had main roles in the stage play ; they are absent in the film. In the film, several characters refer to Cora, but she is not seen ; Mr. Brown is neither seen nor mentioned. The original plot ( in the stage play ) focused on two sisters feuding because Maylee is engaged to her sister Vivanne 's ex-husband, Anthony, and Anthony is holding her back from her parental responsibilities. In the film, April 's sister is a drug addict and thief who neglected her children and is deceased. Her mother assumed custody of the children but has recently disappeared without explanation, and circumstances have forced April to reluctantly take her niece and nephews in. The stage play characters Vivanne, Keisha, Bobby, Maylee, and Anthony do not exist in the film. Music ( edit ) The film features 13 songs, including two new songs by Blige. Perry was not able to produce a soundtrack album for the film due to the various record companies involved. `` Good Woman Down '' ( Robert F. Aries, Blige, Sean Garrett, Freddie Jackson, Meli'sa Morgan ) -- Mary J. Blige `` I Can Do Bad '' ( Blige, Chuck Harmon, Shaffer Smith ) -- Mary J.

Rotten Tomatoes reported that 63 % of critics gave positive reviews based on 43 reviews with an average score of 5.9 / 10, giving it a `` Fresh '' rating, with the general consensus being though somewhat formulaic and predictable, Perry succeeds in mixing broad humor with sincere sentimentality to palatable effect.

Bloody Mary recipe at International Bartenders Association Bloody Mary A Bloody Mary is a cocktail containing vodka, tomato juice, and combinations of other spices and flavorings including Worcestershire sauce, hot sauces, garlic, herbs, horseradish, celery, olives, salt, black pepper, lemon juice, lime juice and / or celery salt. In the United States, it is usually consumed in the morning or early afternoon, and is popular as a hangover cure. The Bloody Mary was invented in the 1920s or 1930s ; there are various theories as to the origin of the drink, as well as the origin of its name. It has many variants, most notably the Red Snapper, the Virgin Mary, the Caesar, and the michelada. Seafood Bloody Mary. Surf and Turf Bloody Mary Contents 1 History 2 Origin of the name 3 Preparation and serving 4 See also 5 References 6 External links History ( edit ) Fernand Petiot claimed to have invented the Bloody Mary in 1921, well before any of the later claims, according to his grand - daughter. He was working at the New York Bar in Paris at the time, which later became Harry 's New York Bar, a frequent Paris hangout for Ernest Hemingway and other American expatriates. The original cocktail is said to have been created on the spur - of - the - moment, according to the bar 's own traditions, consisting only of vodka and tomato juice. Harry 's Bar also claims to have created numerous other classic cocktails, including the White Lady and the Side Car. New York 's 21 Club has two claims associated with it. One is that it was invented in the 1930s by a bartender named Henry Zbikiewicz, who was charged with mixing Bloody Marys. Another attributes its invention to the comedian George Jessel, who frequented the 21 Club. In 1939, Lucius Beebe printed in his gossip column This New York one of the earliest U.S. references to this drink, along with the original recipe : `` George Jessel 's newest pick - me - up which is receiving attention from the town 's paragraphers is called a Bloody Mary : half tomato juice, half vodka ''. Fernand Petiot later claimed to have invented the modern Bloody Mary in 1934 as a refinement to Jessel 's drink, at the King Cole Room in New York 's St. Regis Hotel, according to the hotel 's own history. When Petiot spoke to The New Yorker magazine in July 1964, he said : `` I initiated the Bloody Mary of today, '' he told us. `` Jessel said he created it, but it was really nothing but vodka and tomato juice when I took it over. I cover the bottom of the shaker with four large dashes of salt, two dashes of black pepper, two dashes of cayenne pepper, and a layer of Worcestershire sauce ; I then add a dash of lemon juice and some cracked ice, put in two ounces of vodka and two ounces of thick tomato juice, shake, strain, and pour. We serve a hundred to a hundred and fifty Bloody Marys a day here in the King Cole Room and in the other restaurants and the banquet rooms. '' The cocktail was claimed as a new cocktail under the name `` Red Hammer '' in Life magazine in 1942, consisting of tomato juice, vodka, and lemon juice. Less than a month later in the same magazine, an advertisement for French 's Worcestershire Sauce suggested that it be added to a virgin `` Tomato Juice Cocktail '' along with tomato juice, salt, and pepper. The addition of salt to the alcoholic beverage was suggested that same year in a story in Hearst 's International Combined with Cosmopolitan. Origin of the name ( edit ) The name `` Bloody Mary '' is associated with a number of historical figures -- particularly Queen Mary I of England, who was nicknamed as such in Foxe 's Book of Martyrs for attempting to re-establish the Catholic Church in England -- and fictional women from folklore. Some drink aficionados believe the inspiration for the name was Hollywood star Mary Pickford. Others trace the name to a waitress named Mary who worked at a Chicago bar called the Bucket of Blood. The tradition at Harry 's New York Bar in Paris, according to manager Alain Da Silva in a 2011 interview, is that one of the patrons for whom the cocktail was first mixed in 1920 or 1921 declared, `` It looks like my girlfriend who I met in a cabaret '' ; the cabaret 's name was the Bucket of Blood and the girlfriend 's name was Mary, so the patrons and bartender `` Pete '' Petiot agreed to call it a `` Bloody Mary ''. Yet another suggested origin of `` Bloody Mary '' is that the name in English simply arose from `` a failure to pronounce the Slav syllables of a drink called Vladimir '', which gains some credibility from the anecdotal observation that the customer at The New York Bar for whom Fernand Petiot prepared the drink in 1920 / 21 was Vladimir Smirnov, of the Smirnoff vodka family. Preparation and serving ( edit ) In the United States, the Bloody Mary is a common `` Hair of the dog '' drink, reputed to cure hangovers with its combination of a heavy vegetable base ( to settle the stomach ), salt ( to replenish lost electrolytes ), and alcohol ( to relieve head and body aches ). Most medical advice suggests that the alcohol only numbs the discomfort : Only rest, water, and electrolyte replacement can cure a hangover. Nonetheless, Bloody Mary enthusiasts enjoy some relief from the numbing effects of the alcohol, as well as the placebo effect. Its reputation as a restorative beverage contributes to the popularity of the Bloody Mary in the morning and early afternoon, especially at brunches. The drink is traditionally served over ice in a tall glass, such as a highball, flared pint or hurricane glass. The two critical ingredients, vodka and tomato juice, are relatively simple ; however, the drink almost never consists of these two ingredients alone. Among the more common additions to the juice base are salt or celery salt ( either mixed in or as a salted rim ), cracked pepper, hot sauce ( such as Tabasco ), citrus juices ( especially lemon or lime ), Worcestershire sauce, celery seed, horseradish, clam juice or olive brine, brown sugar or molasses, and / or bitters. Some or all of these ingredients can come pre-mixed with the tomato juice as a single `` Bloody Mary mix '' to which the vodka is added, or the drink may be hand - constructed by the bartender from raw ingredients according to the patron 's preference. A common garnish is a celery stalk when served in a tall glass ; other common garnishes include olives, cheese cubes, a dill pickle spear, lemon wedges, dried sausage, and / or shrimp ( as the taste of the drink is often reminiscent of shrimp cocktail sauce ). There is a considerable amount of variation available in the drink 's construction and presentation including the use of different base spirits like bourbon, rye, tequila, or gin. Gin is often preferred in the UK, sometimes called a Red Snapper ( although this name is also used for other variants ), or Ruddy Mary. In addition to the aforementioned more traditional ingredients, practically anything can be added to the drink itself or as a garnish according to the drinker 's wishes or the bartender 's or establishment 's traditions. Some variations of the Bloody Mary served by restaurants are designed to be a meal as well as a drink, coming with massive `` garnishes '' on skewers inserted into the glass, including ribs, miniature hamburgers called `` sliders '', grilled or fried shrimp, kebabs, sandwich wedges, fruit slices, and even sashimi. The drink itself can be served in any of a variety of glasses, from wine glasses to schooners or beer steins, according to tradition or availability. It is a tradition in the upper Midwest, particularly in Wisconsin, to serve a Bloody Mary with a small beer chaser. A Virgin Mary, also known as a `` Bloody Virgin '' or `` Bloody Shame '' ( the latter especially in Australia ) is a non-alcoholic cocktail, generally using the same ingredients and garnish as a Bloody Mary ( according to local custom ), but with the spirits replaced by additional tomato juice or prepared mix.

Contents ( hide ) 1 History 2 Controversy 3 Accidents and Deaths 4 External links 5 References History ( edit ) The gym company launched in 1999 in Preston, Lancashire as part of Richard Branson 's Virgin Group, initially headquartered in Milton Keynes. In 2013 headquarters were moved to the Barbican in London leaving a small call centre in Milton Keynes. In South Africa the company bought the assets of the ' Health and Racquet Club ' chain after the latter 's parent company, Leisurenet, had been placed in liquidation in October 2000 for 319.6 million South African Rand ( approximately £ 24.5 m as at November 2011 ). The South African company also runs Virgin Life Care. In 2002, by which point the company had 350,000 members, Branson sold 55 percent of the company to Bridgepoint Capital for £ 40 million. In 2005, Branson bought out Bridgepoint 's stake in the business for £ 134.5 million. It subsequently expanded its operations in 2004 to Italy. By 2005 the company had 25 clubs in the UK, 77 clubs in South Africa and 12 clubs in Continental Europe. It opened its first Australian club in Sydney in late 2008, with further clubs launch in Singapore and Thailand in 2015. On 1 November 2006 it took over the UK - based operation of the more prestigious Holmes Place chain, thus increasing its UK chain of clubs from 24 to 72 overnight. On 26 April 2011 it announced the takeover of UK gym operator Esporta 's 55 clubs increasing the UK business to 124 clubs. The current Group CEO is Paul Woolf, who succeeded founder Matthew Bucknall in late 2013. In 2014 Virgin Active launched a new low - cost gym called Virgin Active RED in South Africa. The RED gyms focuses on first timers who may be intimidated by training by strategically placing exercise equipment in different stages around the gym and further having touch screen computers and other technologies placed in these predefined area 's teaching the user how to do the exercise correctly. On 16 April 2015, it was reported that Virgin Group and their private equity backers had sold 80 % of Virgin Active to the South African investment firm Brait, owned by the billionaire Christo Wiese. The sale price was £ 682 million for an 80 % stake, valuing the business at £ 1.3 billion, including debt, and the transaction was completed in July 2015. The company will continue to operate under the Virgin Active brand. In 2016 they began the sale of 35 clubs to Nuffield health In 2017 they completed a sale of 15 clubs to David Lloyd Controversy ( edit ) In December 2015, the South African Competition Tribunal announced that it is investigating Virgin Active 's South African operations and the Discovery Group for contravening the Competition Act. The investigation is ongoing. Accidents and deaths ( edit ) In March 2003, 32 year old City banker Katarzyna Woja stepped out of the lift at the Virgin Active ( then Holmes Place ) Broadgate Health Club in central London, when its cable snapped and the hydraulic cabin plunged downwards. Woja became trapped between the cabin 's mantel and the lift shaft and was dragged downwards, suffering horrific injuries. She died soon after. Although she was with seven other people in the lift, she was the only one injured in the accident, as she was the last one to step out of the lift. Following a lengthy investigation by health and safety experts Holmes Place ( bought by Virgin Active ) was charged with six breaches of the Health and Safety at Work Act while the lift manufacturer ThyssenKrupp was charged with four breaches. In December 2011 Virgin 's flag ship club in High Street Kensington was accused of covering up the death of model and city worker Elsa Carneau, who drowned in the swimming pool at the west London club. A fire crew and paramedics tried to revive the Imperial College graduate for almost an hour before she was taken to Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, where she was pronounced dead. Westminster coroner 's court heard that staff at the club administered CPR incorrectly and falsified paperwork relating to CCTV checks to pretend that they had been monitoring the pool in a `` distasteful '' attempt to cover their tracks. Firemen also described how a man, who said he was a member of staff, had stood by filming efforts to resuscitate Carneau on his mobile telephone. Pierre Carneau, the victim 's father criticised Virgin active for not apologising for the accident. He stated `` It was an accident waiting to happen. If things had been done properly, I think there 's a chance our daughter may still be alive. '' Virgin Active admitted health and safety breaches and was fined £ 100,000 at Southwark Crown Court in December last year. An investigation found `` serious shortcomings in the management of risks connected with swimming activity at the club '' going back to 2009. In April 2014, three gym goers were where injured when a suspended ceiling collapsed on to a line of rowing machines at the Virgin Active on Chiswick High Road, in West London.

( April 2013 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The current Capital of Brazil ( Brasil ) is Brasília. The city of Salvador is usually called the `` first capital of Brazil '' for being more than two centuries the seat for the Portuguese colonial administration in Brazil ( general government and viceroyalty ). History ( edit ) Salvador was established in 1549 by the first Governor - General of Portuguese South America shortly after colonisation began. The city became the seat of the first Catholic bishopric of Brazil in 1552, and is still the center of Brazilian Catholicism. In the 17th century Rio de Janeiro became a far more practical export port than Salvador, and the colonial administration was moved in 1763. In 1808 the Portuguese royal family and most of the aristocracy in the Portuguese capital Lisbon fled Portugal ahead of Napoleon 's invasion. The Portuguese capital was temporarily transferred from Europe to Rio de Janeiro. The city remained the capital after the independence of Brazil in 1822 and after the abolition of the monarchy in 1889. In the 1950s plans were considered for moving the federal capital from the east coast to the interior ; the interior was sparsely populated and it was hoped that moving the capital to the region would help populate the area. The new capital, Brasília, was inaugurated as the federal capital on 21 April 1960 after being purpose built at great cost of 2 trillion U.S. dollars.

It is a spin - off of the hit television series, Kath & Kim created by Gina Riley and Jane Turner, and is written by and starring Riley, Turner, and Magda Szubanski. The film was released in Australia in September 2012, and arrived on Blu - ray and DVD on 23 May 2013. It premiered on Australian television just five days after, on the Seven Network. Contents ( hide ) 1 Plot 2 Cast 3 Production 4 Reception 5 Box office 6 References 7 External links Plot ( edit ) Kath Day - Knight ( Jane Turner ) is still living in Fountain Lakes, Melbourne, however Kel ( Glenn Robbins ) has become a bore after their honeymoon period, and Kim ( Gina Riley ) has moved back in after a divorce with Brett ( Peter Rowsthorn ), despite receiving marriage counselling from Marion ( Marg Downey ). While visiting the local pharmacy for wart remover, Kath fills out a form for a chance to win a holiday to ( the fictional ) `` Kingdom of Papilloma '', on the heel of Italy ( with the real scenes being filmed in Positano ). Initially asking Kel, who refuses to travel because of his fear of flying and his dedication to watching the finals of MasterChef, Kath reluctantly decides to take Kim and Sharon ( Magda Szubanski ) along on the trip. Coincidentally, Prue ( Jane Turner ) and Trude ( Gina Riley ) are clandestinely embarking on a holiday to Italy at the same time. After a 50 - plus hour flight, the three arrive in Italy exhausted. Becoming energised again following a stop at a cheap knock - off fashion shop, they arrive in Papilloma to find that their accommodation has closed down. Deciding to take their complimentary trip to the castle which sits atop the hill, they meet page Alain ( Richard E. Grant ), who Sharon takes a liking to, and King Javier ( Rob Sitch ), who takes a liking to Kath, and allows all three to stay in the castle, under the impression the three are rich from their imitation - brand clothing and can save him from bankruptcy. Meanwhile, a strange noise can be heard echoing throughout the castle, eyes watch from holes in pictures, and a masked figure, revealed to be the son of Javier, Prince Julio ( Erin Mullally ), becomes attracted to Kim ( thinking that she is royalty from her top bearing the title `` Princess '' ). Javier shows Kath through the town, where it becomes apparent that he is not liked by the poor townspeople, being spat at and having a tomato thrown at him. He later invites the three to a ' 80s-esque club, where they dance to `` Wake Me Up Before You Go - Go '' before Javier arrests a gay couple who were dancing, informing Kath that homosexuality is illegal in Papilloma. At a later date, the three are invited to a royal ball, to which Kim wears a large gypsy - inspired pink dress. The masked figure approaches and proposes to Kim, who initially refuses because she thinks his mask is hiding a disfigurement. Disregarding Javier 's protests, Julio unmasks himself, revealing a handsome face, blond hair hidden by a wig and his crooked teeth to be fake. The invited townspeople gasp as it becomes apparent from his appearance he is not the queen 's son. Kim then accepts ( stating that she 's `` done worse '' ), and the imminent royal wedding makes worldwide news. The same night, a fire is noticed on one of the castle 's turrets. Rushing inside, the royals, along with Kath, Kim and Sharon, discover that the queen has appeared and set the castle on fire from Kim and Sharon 's bedroom using Kim 's hair straightener. However, the queen is suddenly killed by a falling chandelier and the fire is put out ; Javier puts the girls ' minds at ease when he explains that the queen was locked up because she was `` crazy '', jealous of his attraction to Kath and the source of the noises made around the castle. Back in Australia, Kel is watching MasterChef with Brett when a news update from Papilloma about the royal wedding interrupts the show, and Brett realises it is Kim getting hitched. Javier is then shown grabbing Kath 's backside, and Kel thinks she is having an affair. The pair decide to fly to Papilloma, but not before Kel receives hypnosis therapy from Marion to combat his fear of flying, which turns strangely sexual and programs him with the phrase `` Tray tables up ''. While on the flight with Brett and Epponnee - Rae ( Morghyne de Vries ), now a spoiled brat who participates in child beauty pageants, Kel hears the phrase during the announcement that the flight will soon be touching down. In a trance, he makes his way to the toilet, where he undresses before later collecting his luggage, opens the sealed door ( with the plane having just pulled into the airport ), triggering the evacuation slide and leaves. In Papilloma, Kath confronts Javier about being a despot, who rules Papilloma as an absolute monarch. Kel interrupts Javier attempting to put the moves on Kim, and the two engage in a sword duel for her affections ; Kel wins and Javier flees. Kim and Sharon become lost before the wedding after exploring their shared bedroom 's closet, with Kim having been sabotaged and attempted to be killed by maid Isabella ( Jessica De Gouw ), who loves Julio and earlier had been teased by Kim. After Kim and Sharon come across a disco - like chamber, it is revealed that Alain has kept all of the imprisoned townspeople and homosexuals there, and they are soon freed, as Kath and Kel, making their way to the wedding, discover the lost Kim and Sharon. Kim laments her messy hair, however Kath, in a fantasy moment, practices her amateur TAFE - learnt `` wicca '' on Kim, giving her a makeover ( but not before turning her into Dame Edna ). With the four finally arriving at the wedding, Epponnee - Rae and Brett ( who made their way to Papilloma with Prue and Trude, who are also in attendance ) interrupt Kim and Julio 's vows, and set off a heated argument in which it is revealed that Kim is not actually royalty, and that Julio ( who had earlier revealed that his mother is Elle Macpherson ) is not Javier 's son, as he fathered no children. Gary Poole ( Mick Molloy, who earlier appeared in a flashback ), Kath 's ex-husband and Kim 's father, is revealed to be an extradited royal descendant, therefore making Kath a queen and Kim a princess. Alain also confesses he was `` forced '' to make love to the queen, and fathered a daughter, the maid Isabella, who professes her love for Prince Julio. Following the unsuccessful wedding, the royals ( including Kath and Kim ) along with Kel and Brett appear on a balcony above the town square, where the townspeople chant for food. Javier decides to relinquish some of his power ( allowing Papilloma to become a democracy ), and a party with plentiful food is later thrown, which the townspeople attend. At the party, Sharon passionately kisses Alain, who tells her he ca n't return her affections because she 's gay ( which had been hinted at throughout the film, referencing Szubanski 's real - life coming out ), leaving her confused and disheartened before she meets Stephanie ( Tasneem Roc ), who shares her interest in golf and netball. Kath and Kim later discuss returning to Australia after their eventful, fairy tale - like holiday.

The title was later changed with Riley stating that the new title reflects the elements of the storyline of Kath and Kim in a fractured fairytale. The holiday scenes were shot in Positano, Italy and filming took a total of two weeks. Reception ( edit ) The film opened at number one at the Australian box office, taking in $2.1 million. It was the second highest opening for an Australian film in 2012, behind The Sapphires. The film received primarily negative reviews from critics, with a 26 % `` rotten '' approval rating at review aggregate website Rotten Tomatoes and a 5.2 / 10 rating on IMDb. ABC Television 's film review series At the Movies rated the film two stars out of five ; critic David Stratton, who reviewed the film, admitted he was not a fan of the television show that inspired it. Box office ( edit ) As of 16 October 2012 the film had grossed $6,150,771 at the Australian box office. References ( edit ) Jump up ^ `` ' Kath and Kimderella ' movie trailer released - watch ''.

The CM process is widely used by military engineering organizations to manage changes throughout the system lifecycle of complex systems, such as weapon systems, military vehicles, and information systems. Outside the military, the CM process is also used with IT service management as defined by ITIL, and with other domain models in the civil engineering and other industrial engineering segments such as roads, bridges, canals, dams, and buildings.

CM verifies that a system performs as intended, and is identified and documented in sufficient detail to support its projected life cycle. The CM process facilitates orderly management of system information and system changes for such beneficial purposes as to revise capability ; improve performance, reliability, or maintainability ; extend life ; reduce cost ; reduce risk and liability ; or correct defects. The relatively minimal cost of implementing CM is returned many fold in cost avoidance. The lack of CM, or its ineffectual implementation, can be very expensive and sometimes can have such catastrophic consequences such as failure of equipment or loss of life. CM emphasizes the functional relation between parts, subsystems, and systems for effectively controlling system change. It helps to verify that proposed changes are systematically considered to minimize adverse effects. Changes to the system are proposed, evaluated, and implemented using a standardized, systematic approach that ensures consistency, and proposed changes are evaluated in terms of their anticipated impact on the entire system. CM verifies that changes are carried out as prescribed and that documentation of items and systems reflects their true configuration. A complete CM program includes provisions for the storing, tracking, and updating of all system information on a component, subsystem, and system basis. A structured CM program ensures that documentation ( e.g., requirements, design, test, and acceptance documentation ) for items is accurate and consistent with the actual physical design of the item. In many cases, without CM, the documentation exists but is not consistent with the item itself. For this reason, engineers, contractors, and management are frequently forced to develop documentation reflecting the actual status of the item before they can proceed with a change. This reverse engineering process is wasteful in terms of human and other resources and can be minimized or eliminated using CM. History ( edit ) Configuration Management originated in the United States Department of Defense in the 1950s as a technical management discipline for hardware material items -- and it is now a standard practice in virtually every industry. The CM process became its own technical discipline sometime in the late 1960s when the DoD developed a series of military standards called the `` 480 series '' ( i.e., MIL - STD - 480, MIL - STD - 481 and MIL - STD - 483 ) that were subsequently issued in the 1970s. In 1991, the `` 480 series '' was consolidated into a single standard known as the MIL -- STD -- 973 that was then replaced by MIL -- HDBK -- 61 pursuant to a general DoD goal that reduced the number of military standards in favor of industry technical standards supported by standards developing organizations ( SDO ). This marked the beginning of what has now evolved into the most widely distributed and accepted standard on CM, ANSI -- EIA -- 649 -- 1998. Now widely adopted by numerous organizations and agencies, the CM discipline 's concepts include systems engineering ( SE ), integrated logistics support ( ILS ), Capability Maturity Model Integration ( CMMI ), ISO 9000, Prince2 project management method, COBIT, Information Technology Infrastructure Library ( ITIL ), product lifecycle management, and application lifecycle management. Many of these functions and models have redefined CM from its traditional holistic approach to technical management. Some treat CM as being similar to a librarian activity, and break out change control or change management as a separate or stand alone discipline. Overview ( edit ) CM is the practice of handling changes systematically so that a system maintains its integrity over time. CM implements the policies, procedures, techniques, and tools that manage, evaluate proposed changes, track the status of changes, and maintain an inventory of system and support documents as the system changes. CM programs and plans provide technical and administrative direction to the development and implementation of the procedures, functions, services, tools, processes, and resources required to successfully develop and support a complex system. During system development, CM allows program management to track requirements throughout the life - cycle through acceptance and operations and maintenance. As changes inevitably occur in the requirements and design, they must be approved and documented, creating an accurate record of the system status. Ideally the CM process is applied throughout the system lifecycle. Most professionals mix up or get confused with Asset Management ( AM ), where it inventories the assets on hand. The key difference between CM and AM is that the former does not manage the financial accounting aspect but on service that the system supports. The CM process for both hardware - and software - configuration items comprises five distinct disciplines as established in the MIL -- HDBK -- 61A and in ANSI / EIA - 649. These disciplines are carried out as policies and procedures for establishing baselines and for performing a standard change - management process. The IEEE 12207 process IEEE 12207.2 also has these activities and adds `` Release management and delivery ''. The five disciplines are : CM Planning and Management : a formal document and plan to guide the CM program that includes items such as : personnel responsibilities and resources training requirements administrative meeting guidelines, including a definition of procedures and tools baselining processes configuration control and configuration - status accounting naming conventions audits and reviews subcontractor / vendor CM requirements Configuration Identification ( CI ) : consists of setting and maintaining baselines, which define the system or subsystem architecture, components, and any developments at any point in time. It is the basis by which changes to any part of a system are identified, documented, and later tracked through design, development, testing, and final delivery. CI incrementally establishes and maintains the definitive current basis for Configuration Status Accounting ( CSA ) of a system and its configuration items ( CIs ) throughout their lifecycle ( development, production, deployment, and operational support ) until disposal. Configuration Control : includes the evaluation of all change - requests and change - proposals, and their subsequent approval or disapproval. It covers the process of controlling modifications to the system 's design, hardware, firmware, software, and documentation. Configuration Status Accounting : includes the process of recording and reporting configuration item descriptions ( e.g., hardware, software, firmware, etc. ) and all departures from the baseline during design and production. In the event of suspected problems, the verification of baseline configuration and approved modifications can be quickly determined. Configuration Verification and Audit : an independent review of hardware and software for the purpose of assessing compliance with established performance requirements, commercial and appropriate military standards, and functional, allocated, and product baselines. Configuration audits verify that the system and subsystem configuration documentation complies with the functional and physical performance characteristics before acceptance into an architectural baseline. Software ( edit ) Main article : Software configuration management The traditional software configuration management ( SCM ) process is looked upon by practitioners as the best solution to handling changes in software projects. It identifies the functional and physical attributes of software at various points in time, and performs systematic control of changes to the identified attributes for the purpose of maintaining software integrity and traceability throughout the software development life cycle. The SCM process further defines the need to trace changes, and the ability to verify that the final delivered software has all of the planned enhancements that are supposed to be included in the release. It identifies four procedures that must be defined for each software project to ensure that a sound SCM process is implemented. They are : Configuration identification Configuration control Configuration status accounting Configuration audits These terms and definitions change from standard to standard, but are essentially the same. Configuration identification is the process of identifying the attributes that define every aspect of a configuration item. A configuration item is a product ( hardware and / or software ) that has an end - user purpose. These attributes are recorded in configuration documentation and baselined. Baselining an attribute forces formal configuration change control processes to be effected in the event that these attributes are changed. Configuration change control is a set of processes and approval stages required to change a configuration item 's attributes and to re-baseline them. Configuration status accounting is the ability to record and report on the configuration baselines associated with each configuration item at any moment of time. Configuration audits are broken into functional and physical configuration audits. They occur either at delivery or at the moment of effecting the change. A functional configuration audit ensures that functional and performance attributes of a configuration item are achieved, while a physical configuration audit ensures that a configuration item is installed in accordance with the requirements of its detailed design documentation. Configuration Management database ( edit ) The Information Technology Infrastructure Library ( ITIL ) specifies the use of a Configuration management system ( CMS ) or Configuration management database ( CMDB ) as a means of achieving industry best practices for Configuration Management. CMDBs are used to track Configuration Items ( CIs ) and the dependencies between them, where CIs represent the things in an enterprise that are worth tracking and managing, such as but not limited to computers, software, software licenses, racks, network devices, storage, and even the components within such items. The benefits of a CMS / CMDB includes being able to perform functions like root cause analysis, impact analysis, change management, and current state assessment for future state strategy development. Example systems, commonly identifies themselves as IT Service Management ( ITSM ) systems, include FreshService, ServiceNow and Samanage. Information assurance ( edit ) For information assurance, CM can be defined as the management of security features and assurances through control of changes made to hardware, software, firmware, documentation, test, test fixtures, and test documentation throughout the life cycle of an information system. CM for information assurance, sometimes referred to as Secure Configuration Management, relies upon performance, functional, and physical attributes of IT platforms and products and their environments to determine the appropriate security features and assurances that are used to measure a system configuration state. For example, configuration requirements may be different for a network firewall that functions as part of an organization 's Internet boundary versus one that functions as an internal local network firewall. Maintenance systems ( edit ) Configuration management is used to maintain an understanding of the status of complex assets with a view to maintaining the highest level of serviceability for the lowest cost. Specifically, it aims to ensure that operations are not disrupted due to the asset ( or parts of the asset ) overrunning limits of planned lifespan or below quality levels. In the military, this type of activity is often classed as `` mission readiness '', and seeks to define which assets are available and for which type of mission ; a classic example is whether aircraft on board an aircraft carrier are equipped with bombs for ground support or missiles for defense. Operating system configuration Management ( edit ) Configuration management can be used to maintain OS configuration files. Example systems include Ansible, Bcfg2, CFEngine, Chef, Otter, Puppet, Quattor, SaltStack, and Vagrant. Many of these systems utilize Infrastructure as Code to define and maintain configuration. A theory of configuration maintenance was worked out by Mark Burgess, with a practical implementation on present day computer systems in the software CFEngine able to perform real time repair as well as preventive maintenance. Preventive maintenance ( edit ) Main article : Preventive maintenance Understanding the `` as is '' state of an asset and its major components is an essential element in preventive maintenance as used in maintenance, repair, and overhaul and enterprise asset management systems. Complex assets such as aircraft, ships, industrial machinery etc. depend on many different components being serviceable. This serviceability is often defined in terms of the amount of usage the component has had since it was new, since fitted, since repaired, the amount of use it has had over its life and several other limiting factors. Understanding how near the end of their life each of these components is has been a major undertaking involving labor - intensive record keeping until recent developments in software. Predictive maintenance ( edit ) Main article : Predictive maintenance Many types of component use electronic sensors to capture data which provides live condition monitoring. This data is analyzed on board or at a remote location by computer to evaluate its current serviceability and increasingly its likely future state using algorithms which predict potential future failures based on previous examples of failure through field experience and modeling. This is the basis for `` predictive maintenance ''. Availability of accurate and timely data is essential in order for CM to provide operational value and a lack of this can often be a limiting factor. Capturing and disseminating the operating data to the various support organizations is becoming an industry in itself. The consumers of this data have grown more numerous and complex with the growth of programs offered by original equipment manufacturers ( OEMs ). These are designed to offer operators guaranteed availability and make the picture more complex with the operator managing the asset but the OEM taking on the liability to ensure its serviceability. Standards ( edit ) A number of standards support or include configuration management, including : ANSI / EIA - 649 - 1998 National Consensus Standard for Configuration Management EIA - 649 - A 2004 National Consensus Standard for Configuration Management TechAmerica / ANSI EIA - 649 - B 2011 Configuration Management Standard ISO 10007 : 2003 Quality management systems - Guidelines for configuration management Federal Standard 1037C GEIA Standard 836 - 2002 Configuration Management Data Exchange and Interoperability IEEE 829 Standard for Software Test Documentation 828 - 2012 IEEE Standard for Configuration Management in Systems and Software Engineering. 2012. doi : 10.1109 / IEEESTD. 2012.6170935.

Construction agencies such as the Federal Highway Administration have used configuration management for their infrastructure projects. There are construction - based configuration management tools that aim to document change orders and RFIs in order to ensure a project stays on schedule and on budget. These programs can also store information to aid in the maintenance and modification of the infrastructure when it is completed. One such application, ccsNet, was tested in a case study funded by the Federal Transportation Administration ( FTA ) in which the efficacy of configuration management was measured through comparing the approximately 80 % complete construction of the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transit Agency ( LACMTA ) 1st and 2nd segments of the Red Line, a $5.3 billion rail construction project. This study yielded results indicating a benefit to using configuration management on projects of this nature. See also ( edit ) Wikimedia Commons has media related to Configuration Management.

Contents ( hide ) 1 Biography and personality 2 Health problems 3 Political leanings 4 Relationship with the teenagers 5 References Biography and personality ( edit ) Red is the perpetually disgruntled, ill - tempered father of Eric and Laurie Forman and Kitty Forman 's husband as well as the foster father to Steven Hyde. He is seemingly insensitive to other people, but admits frequently in the series that this is to maintain his self - identity of being a `` man ''. In some episodes, his tough exterior crumbles when he encounters other people 's needs and he eventually makes decisions that show an ethical regard for doing what is right. His relationship with his children is complex. Although he dotes on his lying, manipulative, promiscuous daughter, Laurie ( with whom, tellingly, Kitty has a strained and contentious relationship ), he points out Eric 's perceived flaws and faults mercilessly. The two clash in most episodes with Eric teasing his father, or `` poking the bear ''. Red frequently threatens to `` stick my foot up your ass '' to Eric but is never seen physically disciplining his son, usually punishing him with chores, fines, and, once, by imposing a strict curfew, which leads to windows being nailed shut, bed checks, etc. until Kitty calls an end to it. Eric usually views these paternal idiosyncracies in a humorous light, even lampooning them, but sometimes seems to be holding in his own anger and doing a slow burn. On other occasions, father and son unite to collude in a scheme or plot, share a joke, or even face the displeasure of Kitty together. Many episodes show the respect between the two characters, with Red even admitting on one occasion that his love for Eric does not need to be articulated, it is `` just a given ''. Despite Red 's firm stance with his son, he protects Eric when the situation calls for it ; for example, in one episode when Bob accuses Eric of being a poor influence on his daughter, Red gives him a cold send - off. Red finds his neighbors, Bob and Midge Pinciotti, perplexing and vexatious. Bob is genial but insensitive, and Midge is rather dim - witted. Their daughter, Donna, is Eric 's girlfriend. Red dislikes spending time in their company, although frequently compelled to do so by his wife, Kitty. In particular, his views of Bob range from annoyance to contempt. Despite this antagonistic attitude, several episodes portray Red as a good neighbor who will come to the assistance of Bob when absolutely needed. Red shows very strict discipline to those with lesser authority than himself ( especially the teenagers ), from which he seems to take joy. In his youth, Red served in the U.S. Navy ( in the season 3 episode, `` Jackie Bags Hyde '', he is shown wearing the dress - blue uniform of a Chief Petty Officer for Veterans Day ) and often brings up memories of his service in Korea. Red was a Boatswain Mate in the Navy during World War II and Korea. Since he served on a destroyer but saw land combat in Guadalcanal ( August 1942 -- February 1943 ) and Korea ( 1950 -- 1953 ) it would appear that he served as a Seabee, an assault boat pilot, or in EOD ( Explosive Ordnance Disposal ). He might have also served on board a submarine, as evidenced in Season 8, Episode 6 `` Long Away ''. He is wearing Submarine Warfare ( Dolphins ) on his garrison cap during the Veterans reunion. On one occasion, when Red and Kitty are making out in their car, a policeman knocks on the window, not realizing it is a married couple inside. Red sharply dispatches him and Kitty says, `` How sweet, you let him off with a warning ''. In one episode, he and Eric have both completely forgotten about Kitty 's birthday, which deeply upsets her. After purchasing her some very low quality `` gifts '' from the only open nearby establishment, a garage, items Kitty immediately recognizes as junk, Red cheers her up by taking her square - dancing, an activity she enjoys. Red loves to drink beer and consume food which is bad for his health, having suffered from a heart attack on one occasion. Red is also shown as a die - hard fan of the Green Bay Packers, even, in one episode, threatening to kick out visiting new neighbors, Josh and Jeff who are a gay male couple, solely because they were Minnesota Vikings fans. He is also a fan of the Milwaukee Bucks and the Milwaukee Brewers. Health problems ( edit ) Red 's health has been the subject of humor on occasion. In the third and sixth seasons, he is briefly put on a diet that requires him to cut out red meat among other foods that he generally likes and, in stereotypical sitcom fashion, he is forced to eat `` healthy '' food that is good for him but that he finds unappealing. On both occasions, he defies the diet by eating `` real food '' behind Kitty 's back. When faced with mush, he comments `` This is n't food, this is what food eats! '' When faced with his diet in the sixth season, after his heart attack upon learning Laurie has married Fez ( he has a problem with foreigners, he throws the list of what he can not have away, explaining to Kitty that if he had known what he would be asked to give up, `` I would have walked straight into that bright light and never looked back! '' At one point, shortly after finding out that Eric and Donna were moving to Madison, Red went fishing to calm down, and comes back with the surprising news that he is proud of Eric for his initiative in moving away and becoming engaged, and even more so for his standing up to Red by insisting on marrying Donna despite Red 's disapproval. A surprised Kitty and an overjoyed Eric listen while Red agrees to pay for both the wedding and Eric 's college fund. He also shakes Eric 's hand, proudly telling his son that he is now a man and he has his blessing. After his heart attack, which prompts Eric to stay home, Red 's attitude towards Eric does a complete reversal, and Red goes back to calling his son `` dumbass '', presumably due to his disappointment in Eric 's failure to live up to his expectations yet again, although he told Eric that he was proud of him for deciding to stay and help the family instead of leaving for college. This reversal could be due to Eric leaving Donna at the altar and subsequently spending a year doing nothing, or the producers ' use of a `` Reset Button '' to get the status quo back. Political leanings ( edit ) For the first few seasons of the series ' run, Red is established as a blue collar conservative. He made a joke at Nixon 's expense in the first season after Eric streaked through the crowd while wearing a Nixon mask and, in a pivotal moment, expressed disdain for Gerald Ford ( when allowed to ask President Ford a question he said `` Hey ' Gerry ', here 's my question : ' How the hell could you pardon Nixon? ' '' ) in front of the entire town. However, without precedent, later seasons portrayed him to be a staunch Republican, who became angry when Eric made an anti-Nixon joke in the fifth season, which Eric tries to cover by replying, `` Nixon was framed and Kennedy was a commie. '' It is likely that, like many Republican voters in the 1970s, Red is disappointed in Nixon and Ford, but afterwards leans back to supporting the Republican Party. In addition, many Nixon supporters felt that pardoning Nixon was akin to admitting he was guilty. Red feels strongly about the founding principles of the American government, owing to his service in the Navy as a Boatswain 's Mate. He also tries to live up to what are generally considered American `` family values '' : hard work, devotion to his family and being faithful to his wife. He is disgusted by swinger sex clubs ( which he considers immoral ) and political corruption ( on hearing that Jackie 's wealthy father may be able to bribe his way out of jail, an appalled Red mutters, `` I 'm so glad I took a piece of shrapnel to make that possible '' ). Red also dislikes foreigners, which is the main reason he does n't see eye - to - eye with Fez. One episode, `` Hunting '' saw him taking offense at Fez 's remark of, `` Not everything in the Constitution makes sense. '' He dislikes anyone and anything not from America -- despite driving a Toyota. In fact out of everyone in his family he was the most comfortable and casual when Hyde 's biological father William Barnett ( an African - American ) came to his house. He once described Canada and France as `` lesser countries '', and was upset to find that his daughter Laurie 's room had posters of foreign cars on her bedroom walls after Hyde moved into it, and generally refers to the rest of the world as `` not America ''. Along with Canada and France, Red also dislikes Germany, Japan and Great Britain, though not explicitly stated, Italy ( for their role in World War II ) and, especially, North Korea as he fought there. He also seems bitter about America not winning the Vietnam War, claiming, `` We did n't lose the war, it was a tie ''. In one episode, while Hyde was stating a conspiracy theory about the government putting tracking devices in their brains, Red patriotically replied, `` Without our government, you 'd be stuck in Siberia now, sucking the juice from a rotten commie potato. Let me tell you something. If the U.S. government decides to stick a tracking device up your ass, you say, ' Thank You! and God Bless America! ' '' Insulting communists is a favorite pastime with Red such as when he calls Eric `` the laziest non-communist I ever met ''. However, when he sells his muffler shop so he can retire he says he does not care if the store is converted to a `` communist recreation center ''. Relationship with the teenagers ( edit ) Though deep down, Red genuinely does care about Eric 's friends, he does n't like them frequently hanging out in his home. One of his favorite phrases to describe Eric and his friends is `` dumbass ''. He also threatens the teens that he will put his `` foot in your ass ''. In the finale, he claims that he once put his foot in someone 's ass in Iwo Jima, but his refusal to further elaborate on the experience implies that it was not something he 's proud of. His antagonism towards the teenagers is mainly because Red prefers peace and quiet, believing that since he has worked hard and raised his children, he deserves time to himself and with Kitty. With regards to his neighbors Bob and Midge Pinciotti, it is indicated that Red used to enjoy their friendship before they started to get involved `` into every fad there is ''. Even though he feels that Bob is a `` good neighbor and a good friend '', he gets easily annoyed in Bob 's presence. He is a tough, no - nonsense father and tends to favor his daughter Laurie ( Lisa Robin Kelly & Christina Moore ) and foster son Hyde ( Danny Masterson ) over his son Eric ( Topher Grace ), whom he considers soft, skinny, twitchy and wimpy. He always sees Laurie as `` a giant apple '' instead of the mean - spirited, promiscuous person she truly is, but becomes wiser to her in the second season after finding out she lied to him about moving in with a friend when she was really living with a young man. In one episode, Kitty asks Red why he is so tough on Eric, only to have Red respond, `` The same reason my old man was so tough on me '', indicating that he went through a similar childhood to Eric 's. Though Red often puts his own son down because he wants him to `` be a man like himself '', it can not be denied that Eric is merely a younger version of his father in the sense that both have a very dry sense of humor and tend to be the sanest persons in their respective circles of friends. On a few occasions in season one, Red shows Eric affection. When the two return from a wrestling match, they wrestle for a bit before Red gave Eric a hug. Later on, when Red 's mother dies, Red calls Eric over for a hug with him and Kitty in a family moment. In the final episode of season seven, as Eric is leaving for Africa, Red has a real heart - to - heart talk with Eric, in which he admitted he loved him and that he would miss him, culminating in a hug between father and son. In the season 8 premiere, Kitty tries to get Red to say something nice for Eric on the tape recorder. Red consistently refuses and appears to revel in Eric being gone. However, when Kitty questions his feelings on the matter, Red admitted that he honestly missed Eric. ( Unbeknownst to Red, though, Kitty secretly recorded him saying this ). Red also seems to respect his son 's resistance as shown when he told Eric he respected him for staying with Donna despite Red 's efforts. Most of the time, Red treats Eric 's friend Hyde ( Danny Masterson ), who moved in with the Formans ' at the end of the first season, better than he treats his own son ; perhaps this is because Red thinks Hyde needs a father figure as his own left him. Red also shows appreciation to Hyde for his mechanical skills, evident from when he opened his own muffler store. Hyde quickly assembles muffler displays, while Eric is putting up decorations. Also, Red often more readily has heart - to - hearts with Hyde than with Eric. When Hyde is arrested for possession of marijuana ( which had actually belonged to Jackie ), he wanted to throw Hyde out, but soon had a change of heart and let him stay after learning the truth. However, this does n't stop Red from giving Hyde an extremely long scolding. Hyde assumed the Forman 's would want him to move out on his eighteenth birthday because all of Hyde 's relatives had to move out of their places when they were eighteen. Red told Hyde that he needed to stay at the Forman 's house so he would not end up like his relatives ( who were either dead, in jail, or `` pumping gas '' ). Much of this comes from Hyde 's troubled background and Red 's view that Hyde just needs some direction in life. On the other hand, a few instances have shown that Red still cares about Eric, and it is clear that Red 's being hard on him is Red 's way of trying to toughen Eric up to prepare him for the real world ( he once stated that, as Eric 's father, it was his job to make Eric a man, `` which he 's not '' ). Red once told Eric, `` I love you '', but he was drugged after a visit to the dentist. After Eric later said it back and some awkwardness ensued, Red said that you should only say that when you 're drunk, dying or in trouble -- `` Otherwise, it 's just a given ''. Like Kitty, Red is often forced to act as a parental figure for Eric 's friends Kelso ( Ashton Kutcher ), Fez ( Wilmer Valderrama ), Jackie ( Mila Kunis ), Hyde ( Danny Masterson ) and Donna ( Laura Prepon ) -- albeit reluctantly. He usually only helps out at Kitty 's insistence or simply to get the teens out of his house. Red actually likes Donna, mostly because he thinks that if Eric has a son with her he will be good at sports and both freely and cheerily admits she is too good for his own son, and also that if Eric and Donna get married Eric will leave the house. Red has a low opinion of Kelso and Fez, calling Kelso a `` Kettlehead '' and referring to Fez as the `` foreign kid '', and sometimes by the generic names of `` Haji '', `` Sabu '', `` Ali Baba '', `` Tutankhamun '' or `` Anwar ''. However, he has bonded with them both a few times throughout the series, such as when he cooperated with Kelso to change the Pong electronic game so they can make the paddles smaller, thus making the game more fun. Red also bonded with Fez when he gave Fez advice that it is not a good idea to mix women and alcohol together. Early on, Red stated that Jackie is his favorite out of all of Eric 's friends. He says unlike the others, she is `` not useless '' because she perfectly held a flashlight for him while he worked on his car, while Eric was incapable of this simple task. Jackie has hugged Red on a few occasions, at least half of which he returned. In the final season, Red takes a liking to Hyde 's new friend and co-worker, Randy Pearson ( Josh Meyers ). Red respects Randy simply because he 's the polar opposite of Eric : masculine, crafty and not at all obsessed with Star Wars ( though in one episode, it is shown that Randy is indeed a fan ). Unlike Kitty, Red had no problem with him starting a relationship with Donna. References ( edit ) Jump up ^ `` Twiz Tv ''.

The series is based on Piper Kerman 's memoir, Orange Is the New Black : My Year in a Women 's Prison ( 2010 ), about her experiences at FCI Danbury, a minimum - security federal prison. Orange Is the New Black premiered on July 11, 2013 on the streaming service Netflix. In February 2016, the series was renewed for a fifth, sixth, and seventh season. The fifth season was released on June 9, 2017. The series is produced by Tilted Productions in association with Lionsgate Television. Orange Is the New Black has become Netflix 's most - watched original series. It has received critical acclaim and many accolades. For its first season, the series garnered 12 Primetime Emmy Award nominations, including Outstanding Comedy Series, Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series, and Outstanding Directing for a Comedy Series, winning three. A new Emmy rule in 2015 forced the series to change categories from comedy to drama. For its second season, the series received four Emmy nominations, including Outstanding Drama Series, and Uzo Aduba won for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series. Orange Is the New Black is the first series to score Emmy nominations in both comedy and drama categories.

Piper had been convicted of transporting a suitcase full of drug money for her girlfriend Alex Vause ( Laura Prepon ), an international drug smuggler. The offense was 10 years prior to the start of the series and in that time Piper had moved on to a quiet, law - abiding life among New York 's upper middle class. Her sudden and unexpected indictment severely disrupted her relationships with her fiancé, family and friends. In prison, Piper is reunited with Alex ( who named Piper in her trial, resulting in Piper 's arrest ) and they re-examine their relationship. Simultaneously, Piper must learn how to survive in prison and how to overcome its numerous, inherent struggles. Episodes often feature flashbacks of significant events from various inmates ' and prison guards ' pasts. These flashbacks typically explain how the inmate came to be in prison or develop the character 's backstory. The show pays close attention to how corruption, drug smuggling, funding cuts, overcrowding and guard brutality affect the prisoners ' health and well - being and the prison 's basic ability to fulfil its fundamental responsibilities and ethical obligations as a federal corrections institution. One of the show 's key conflicts involves the prison Director of Human Activities, Joe Caputo, whose efforts and aims as a warden constantly conflict with the business interests of MCC, which acquired the facility when it was about to be shut down.

She then set up a meeting with Kerman to pitch her on a TV adaptation, which she notes she `` screwed up '' as she spent most of the time asking Kerman about her experiences she described in the book rather than selling her on the show. This appealed to Kerman as it let her know that she was a fan and she signed off on the adaptation. Kohan would later go on to describe the main character, Piper Chapman, as a `` trojan horse '' for the series, allowing it to focus on characters whose demographics would not normally be represented on TV. In July 2011, it was revealed that Netflix was in negotiations with Lionsgate for a 13 - episode TV adaptation of Kerman 's memoirs with Kohan as creator. In November 2011, negotiations were finalized and the series had been greenlit. Casting announcements began in August 2012 with Taylor Schilling, the first to be cast, in the lead role as Piper Chapman, followed by Jason Biggs as Piper 's fiancé Larry Bloom. Laura Prepon and Yael Stone were next to join the series. Abigail Savage, who plays Gina, and Alysia Reiner, who plays Fig, had auditioned for role of Alex Vause. Prepon initially auditioned for Piper Chapman, however Kohan felt she would not worry about her ( in prison ), noting a `` toughness and a presence to her that was n't right for the character. '' Kohan instead gave her the role of Alex. Stone had originally auditioned for the role of Nicky Nichols, but she was not considered `` tough enough '' for the character ; she was asked to audition for Lorna Morello instead. Likability was important for Morello, whom casting director Jen Euston deemed `` a very helpful, nice, sweet Italian girl. '' Laverne Cox, a black transgender woman, was cast as Sophia Burset, a transgender character. The Advocate touted Orange Is the New Black as possibly the first women - in - prison narrative to cast a transgender woman for this type of role. Natasha Lyonne was to audition for Alex, but was asked to read for the character Nicky Nichols ; `` ( Kohan knew ) she could do Nicky with her eyes closed. She was perfect, '' said Euston. Uzo Aduba read for the part of Janae Watson but was offered the character Suzanne `` Crazy Eyes '' Warren. Taryn Manning was offered the role of Tiffany `` Pennsatucky '' Doggett. This American Life host Ira Glass was offered a role as a public radio host, but he declined. The role instead went to Robert Stanton, who plays the fictional host Maury Kind. The series is set in a fictional prison in Litchfield, New York, which is a real town in upstate New York, but it does not have a federal penitentiary. The series began filming in the old Rockland Children 's Psychiatric Center in Rockland County, New York, on March 7, 2013. The title sequence features photos of real former female prisoners including Kerman herself. On June 27, 2013, prior to the series premiere, Netflix renewed the show for a second season consisting of 13 episodes. For the second season, Uzo Aduba, Taryn Manning, Danielle Brooks, and Natasha Lyonne were promoted to series regulars. Laura Prepon did not return as a series regular for a second season because of scheduling conflicts, but returned for season 3 as a regular. On May 5, 2014, the series was renewed for a third season, as revealed by actress Laura Prepon. For the third season, several actors were promoted to series regulars, including Selenis Leyva, Adrienne C. Moore, Dascha Polanco, Nick Sandow, Yael Stone, and Samira Wiley. Both Jason Biggs and Pablo Schreiber were confirmed as not returning for the third season, but Schreiber appeared in the 10th episode of the third season. The series was renewed for a fourth season on April 15, 2015, prior to its third - season premiere. For the fourth season, Jackie Cruz and Lea DeLaria were promoted to series regulars ; with Elizabeth Rodriguez also being promoted by the season 's sixth episode. On February 5, 2016, the series was renewed for a fifth, sixth and seventh season.

Broadcast ( edit ) Netflix is famously tight - fisted when it comes to offering up viewership data about its original series. But execs with the streaming giant have repeatedly confirmed that OITNB is its most - watched original series. That has been backed up by the efforts of outside measurement companies to track viewing in the Netflix eco-system. -- Variety The series began airing on broadcast television in New Zealand on TV2 on August 19, 2013. It premiered in Australia on October 9, 2013, on Showcase. The second season began on Showcase on July 16, 2014, and the third season premiered on June 11, 2015. The first season began airing on broadcast television in the UK on Sony Channel from April 19, 2017. In April 2017, it was reported that a cybercriminal had stolen the first ten episodes of the fifth season in a security breach of a post-production company. Netflix failed to respond to ransom demands, and the cybercriminal leaked the episodes online. Netflix confirmed the security breach and an ongoing investigation by federal law enforcement. Multichannel News reported that demand for the series significantly increased over the seven - day period following the leak of the episodes. It was also said that the leak would likely cause a decrease in demand for the fifth season when Netflix releases it in June. Ratings ( edit ) Orange Is the New Black generated more viewers and hours viewed in its first week than the other Netflix original series House of Cards and Arrested Development. In October 2013, Netflix stated that the show is a `` tremendous success '' for the streaming platform. `` It will end the year as our most watched original series ever and, as with each of our other previously launched originals, enjoys an audience comparable with successful shows on cable and broadcast TV. '' As reported in February 2016, Orange Is the New Black remains Netflix 's most - watched original series. In 2016, a New York Times study of the 50 TV shows with the most Facebook Likes found that Orange Is the New Black is one of the shows most watched in urban areas, and despite its `` minority - rich ensemble cast, '' the series `` appeals more to a white audience.

{ "text": "You ca n't have your cake and eat it - wikipedia You ca n't have your cake and eat it You ca n't have your cake and eat it ( too ) is a popular English idiomatic proverb or figure of speech. The proverb literally means `` you can not simultaneously retain your cake and eat it ''. Once the cake is eaten, it is gone. It can be used to say that one can not or should not have or want more than one deserves or is reasonable, or that one can not or should not try to have two incompatible things. The proverb 's meaning is similar to the phrases `` you ca n't have it both ways '' and `` you ca n't have the best of both worlds. '' Many people are confused by the meaning of `` have '' and `` eat '' in the order as used here, although still understand the proverb and its intent and use it in this form. Some people feel the above form of the proverb is incorrect and illogical and instead prefer : `` You ca n't eat your cake and ( then still ) have it too '', which is in fact closer to the original form of the proverb ( see further explanations below ) but uncommon today. Another variant uses `` keep '' instead of `` have ''. Having to choose whether to have or eat your cake illustrates the concept of trade - offs or opportunity cost. Contents 1 History 2 Literal meaning 3 Other languages 4 References 5 External links History ( edit ) The order of the clauses in the saying has been the subject of some debate, and was even used in forensic linguistics ( contributing to the identification and arrest of the so - called Unabomber ). An early recording of the phrase is in a letter on 14 March 1538 from Thomas, Duke of Norfolk, to Thomas Cromwell, as `` a man can not have his cake and eat his cake ''. The phrase occurs with the clauses reversed in John Heywood 's `` A dialogue Conteinyng the Nomber in Effect of All the Prouerbes in the Englishe Tongue '' from 1546, as `` wolde you bothe eate your cake, and have your cake? ''. In John Davies ' `` Scourge of Folly '' of 1611, the same order is used, as `` A man can not eat his cake and haue it stil. '' In Jonathan Swift 's 1738 farce `` Polite Conversation '', the character Lady Answerall says `` she can not eat her cake and have her cake. '' The order was reversed again in a posthumous adaptation of `` Polite Conversation '' in 1749, `` Tittle Tattle ; or, Taste A-la - Mode '', as `` And she can not have her Cake and eat her Cake. '' From 1812 ( R.C. Knopf 's `` Document Transcriptions of War of 1812 '' ( 1959 ) VI. 204 ) is a modern - sounding recording of `` We can not have our cake and eat it too. '' According to the Google Ngram Viewer, the eat - first order was more common until about 1935, since which time the have - first order has become much more popular. Literal meaning ( edit ) Paul Brians, Professor of English at Washington State University, points out that perhaps a more logical or easier to understand version of this saying is, `` You ca n't eat your cake and have it too. '' Professor Brians writes that a common source of confusion about this idiom stems from the verb to have which in this case indicates that once eaten, keeping possession of the cake is no longer possible, seeing that it is in your stomach ( and no longer exists as a cake ). Alternatively, the two verbs can be understood to represent a sequence of actions, so one can indeed `` have '' one 's cake and then `` eat '' it. Consequently, the literal meaning of the reversed idiom does n't match the metaphorical meaning. The phrase can also have specialized meaning in academic contexts ; Classicist Katharina Volk of Columbia University has used the phrase to describe the development of poetic imagery in Latin didactic poetry, naming the principle behind the imagery 's adoption and application the `` have - one 's - cake - and - eat - it - too principle ''. In English, `` have '' can mean `` eat '', as in `` Let 's have breakfast '' or `` I 'm having a sandwich ''. So the saying `` You ca n't have your cake and eat it too '' may mean that you ca n't eat the cake and then eat it again ; or less metaphorically, that what you want is unreasonable. This interpretation makes sense in both the `` have - eat '' and `` eat - have '' iterations of the idiom, and might explain why the earliest known iteration is `` have - eat ''.

Contents ( hide ) 1 Plot 2 Cast 2.1 The Bellas 2.2 Additional characters 3 Production 3.1 Filming 4 Release 4.1 Box office 4.2 Critical response 5 References 6 External links Plot ( edit ) Two years after the events of the second movie, the Bellas have graduated college, but have jobs which they all hate. Desperate to see each other again to sing once more, Beca ( Anna Kendrick ), Fat Amy ( Rebel Wilson ), Chloe ( Brittany Snow ), Aubrey ( Anna Camp ), Lilly ( Hana Mae Lee ), Stacie ( Alexis Knapp ), Cynthia - Rose ( Ester Dean ), Florencia ( Chrissie Fit ), Jessica ( Kelley Jakle ), and Ashley ( Shelley Regner ) are all thrilled to learn that Emily ( Hailee Steinfeld ), now a senior at Barden and leader of the Barden Bellas, has seemingly asked for the Bellas to reunite at an event in New York Aquarium to sing with each other once more. Upon arriving at the reunion they are told that the reunion was not for the Bellas to sing together, but to watch Emily sing with the new Bellas. They later gather at a bar in disappointment and Emily apologizes as she thought it would be the only way for them to see each other again. They all express how much they miss each other. Suddenly, Aubrey convinces them to join a USO performance accessed by her Army officer father. If they win the competition, they get to open for DJ Khaled. The Bellas gladly accept, all except for Stacie who is eight months pregnant at the moment and is unable to go with them. The Bellas later arrive at a hangar where two soldiers, Chicago ( Matt Lanter ) and Zeke ( Troy Ian Hall ) introduce them to their competition, revealed to be three other groups who use instruments, unlike the Bellas. When the band Evermoist, led by their leader Calamity ( Ruby Rose ) begin to mock and belittle the Bellas, the competitors are challenged to a riff - off by the Bellas, who leave defeated when the other groups compete using their musical instruments. The Bellas are taken to a fancy hotel in Spain, where Chloe begins to catch an eye for Chicago. Fat Amy finds an old stuffed bunny sitting in her bed, which she recognizes as an old toy she used to hold when she was very little as her father Fergus ( John Lithgow ) sang her to sleep every night. Amy then realizes that her father is staying in the same hotel she is in and is shocked upon the discovery, seeing as how Fergus is an international criminal. Later that night, the Bellas are invited to a party at DJ Khaled 's suite at the hotel, where Fat Amy splits with the group when she is called to be at a poker tournament. The tournament was set up by Fergus, who promptly begs for Amy to be back in his life. A hesitant Amy finally agrees to do so after seeing how much he has changed. Beca, after having her breasts grabbed by Chloe, who develops a friendship with DJ Khaled 's music producer Theo ( Guy Burnet ), is taken to DJ Khaled 's music editing room. Beca produces a mix which impresses Theo who is prompted to send the mix to DJ Khaled. Moments later, the party is thrown into chaos when Aubrey accidentally sets the suite on fire. The Bellas are left in disgrace after the incident with no hopes of winning the competition until Stacie calls the girls to inform she has given birth to a baby girl and named her Bella. This motivates the Bellas to just perform their hearts out without trying to win. Back at the USO competition, the Bellas perform tremendously to adoring crowds through different performances, repairing their reputation and chances to win in the process. Fergus is accepted by Amy, who believes he came to one of their performances to see her. He accidentally reveals that he has not seen her perform at all, while confessing that he is only trying to acquire an offshore account Amy 's mother set up which contains US $ 180 million. After Amy shuts out Fergus again, Chicago and Zeke escort her away from her father, who swears revenge on her. Meanwhile, only Beca is asked personally by DJ Khaled to open for him, disregarding the other Bellas. Beca politely declines the offer and leaves to her room. Later, the Bellas are taken away by a Frenchman in a dark grey van out onto a yacht in a nearby harbor. The yacht belongs to Fergus, who is using the Bellas as a means to get Amy to come for him. Amy and Beca hear of the kidnapping and decide to rescue the Bellas. Beca distracts Fergus by having the Bellas perform `` Toxic '' for him and two of his men, just as Amy sets the yacht to explode. The Bellas escape the yacht just before it blows. Fergus survives the explosion and is arrested for his crimes. After the Bellas are rescued by the military, Fat Amy reveals DJ Khaled 's proposition to Beca to the others. They encourage her to take the chance, and they all agree that now it 's time to move on with their lives, with Amy using her bank account for multiple tributes to singers named Amy, Aubrey trying to be a birthing coach, Flo 's juice cart becoming part of an international brand, Chloe getting accepted into vet school, Cynthia - Rose staying at the base to get into flight school, Emily going back to Barden to prepare for her upcoming abnormal psychology test while continuing her songwriting, and Lilly revealing that the reason she was quiet was because she was possessed by Satan and the yacht incident snapped her out of it, and that her real name is Ester. They know very well they 'll be separated, but still be connected to each other as a family. Later at the USO 's final performance, Beca opens for DJ Khaled and sings on stage, and afterwards brings up the Bellas onstage for the girls to sing their final performance with the other competitors gladly watching the Bellas sing `` Freedom! ' 90 '' to their hearts content. Gail ( Elizabeth Banks ) and John ( John Michael Higgins ) ( who were the Bellas ' public announcers in the previous installments ) finish filming the Bellas as part of a documentary they have been making about the girls throughout the whole film, only to be appalled when John realizes they did n't record the Bellas ' final performance, which was supposed to be the documentary 's big ending. A series of mid credit scenes reveal the Bellas ' separate story arcs closed out to their mostly happy endings, with Lilly hanging around with DJ Dragon Nutz, whom she flirted with earlier, Chloe and Chicago making out whilst Beca, watching uncomfortably, speaks with Theo about her new job now that he works for her, and Aubrey reconnects with her father.

'' Director, star, and producer of the second film Elizabeth Banks acknowledged the possibility of a third film during promotion of Pitch Perfect 2, saying, `` I will say, it would be disingenuous to say that no one 's talking about a Pitch Perfect 3 ; the possibility of it.

However, on February 6, she posted a photo on Instagram, confirming her return, and was on set the following day. Filming ( edit ) Principal photography on the film began on January 5, 2017, and took place in Atlanta, Georgia, and Cádiz, Spain. Filming wrapped on April 3, 2017.

In the United States and Canada, Pitch Perfect 3 was released alongside the openings of Downsizing and Father Figures, and the wide expansions of The Shape of Water and Darkest Hour, and was projected to gross $27 -- 35 million from 3,447 theaters in its opening weekend.

Critical response ( edit ) On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 31 % based on 116 reviews and an average rating of 4.7 / 10. The website 's critical consensus reads, `` Pitch Perfect 3 strains to recapture the magic that helped the original spawn a franchise, but ends up sending this increasingly unnecessary trilogy out on a low note. '' On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 40 out of 100 based on 35 critics, indicating `` mixed or average reviews ''. Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of `` A -- '' on an A+ to F scale, the same score earned by its predecessor. Owen Gleiberman of Variety praising the cast and said, `` The new film does n't add anything revolutionary to the Pitch Perfect formula. It still sounds like we 're in middle - period Glee written by someone who finds Ryan Murphy too solemn. But as directed by Trish Sie, the movie is bubbly, it 's fast, it 's hella synthetic - clever, and it 's an avid showcase for the personalities of its stars. '' In a review for The Hollywood Reporter, Frank Scheck wrote ``... what started out as a charmingly offbeat comic premise has inevitably degenerated into the sort of crass commercialism that probably would make the Bellas themselves turn up their noses.

The government claimed that the action would curtail the shadow economy and crack down on the use of illicit and counterfeit cash to fund illegal activity and terrorism. The sudden nature of the announcement and the prolonged cash shortages in the weeks that followed created significant disruption throughout the economy, threatening economic output. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the demonetisation in an unscheduled live televised address at 20 : 00 Indian Standard Time ( IST ) on 8 November. In the announcement, PM Modi declared that use of all ₹ 500 and ₹ 1000 banknotes of the Mahatma Gandhi Series would be invalid past midnight, and announced the issuance of new ₹ 500 and ₹ 2000 banknotes of the Mahatma Gandhi New Series in exchange for the old banknotes. The BSE SENSEX and NIFTY 50 stock indices fell over 6 percent on the day after the announcement. In the days following the demonetisation, the country faced severe cash shortages with severe detrimental effects across the economy. People seeking to exchange their bank notes had to stand in lengthy queues, and several deaths were linked to the rush to exchange cash. Initially, the move received support from several bankers as well as from some international commentators. The move has also been criticised as poorly planned and unfair, and was met with protests, litigation, and strikes against the government in several places across India. Debates also took place concerning the move in both houses of parliament. The move reduced the country 's industrial production and its GDP growth rate. By the end of August 2017, 99 % of the banned currency had been deposited in banks : only approximately ₹ 14,000 crore of the total demonetised currency had been discarded, leading analysts to state that the effort had failed to remove black money from the economy. In June 2018, Reuters reported that all the farmers they had spoken to in Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh said that demonetization had made things worse for them.

In 1946, the pre-independence government hoped demonetisation would penalise Indian businesses that were concealing the fortunes amassed supplying the Allies in World War II. In 1978, the Janata Party coalition government demonetised banknotes of 1000, 5000 and 10,000 rupees, again in the hopes of curbing counterfeit money and black money. In 2012, the Central Board of Direct Taxes had recommended against demonetisation, saying in a report that `` demonetisation may not be a solution for tackling black money or shadow economy, which is largely held in the form of benami properties, bullion and jewellery. '' According to data from income tax probes, black money holders kept only 6 % or less of their wealth as cash, suggesting that targeting this cash would not be a successful strategy. On 28 October 2016 the total banknotes in circulation in India were valued at ₹ 17.77 trillion ( US $260 billion ) ; what proportion of this derived from ₹ 500 and ₹ 1,000 banknotes was unknown. In its annual report of March 2016, the Reserve Bank of India ( RBI ) stated that total bank notes in circulation valued ₹ 16.42 trillion ( US $240 billion ) of which nearly 86 % ( around ₹ 14.18 trillion ( US $210 billion ) ) derived from ₹ 500 and ₹ 1,000 banknotes. In terms of volume, the report stated that 24 % ( around 22.03 billion ) of the total 9026.6 crore ( 90.26 billion ) banknotes in circulation were ₹ 500 and ₹ 1,000 banknotes. The Bharatiya Janata Party ( BJP ) had previously expressed opposition to demonetisation. BJP spokesperson Meenakshi Lekhi had said in 2014 that members of the public who were often illiterate and had no access to banking facilities would be adversely affected by such a policy. Demonetisation process ( edit ) Demonetized ₹ 500 of the Mahatma Gandhi Series Demonetized ₹ 1,000 of the Mahatma Gandhi Series The plan to demonetise the ₹ 500 and ₹ 1000 banknotes was initiated between six and ten months before it was announced, and was kept confidential, with only ten people being completely aware of it. The preparations for printing new ₹ 500 and ₹ 2000 bank notes began in early May 2016. The Union cabinet was informed about the plan on 8 November 2016 in a meeting called by the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Public announcement ( edit ) On 8 November 2016, Modi announced the demonetisation in an unscheduled live national televised address at 20 : 15 Indian Standard Time. In the announcement, Modi declared circulation of all ₹ 500 and ₹ 1,000 banknotes of the Mahatma Gandhi Series as invalid effective from the midnight of the same day, and announced the issuance of new ₹ 500 and ₹ 2,000 banknotes of the Mahatma Gandhi New Series in exchange for the old notes. After Modi 's announcement, the Governor of the Reserve Bank of India, Urjit Patel, and Economic Affairs Secretary, Shaktikanta Das, stated that while the supply of notes of all denominations had increased by 40 percent between 2011 and 2016, the ₹ 500 and ₹ 1,000 banknotes increased by 76 percent and 109 percent, respectively, owing to forgery. They said that forged cash was used to fund terrorist activities, and that the demonetisation was meant to counter this. After demonetisation, only 0.0035 % of the ₹ 1,000 banknotes were found to be fake. Patel also stated that the decision had been made about six months ago, and the printing of new banknotes of denomination ₹ 500 and ₹ 2,000 had already started. However, only the top members of the government, security agencies and the central bank were aware of the move. But media had reported in October 2016 about the introduction of ₹ 2,000 denomination well before the official announcement by RBI. This statement has led to much debate, because the Reserve Bank governor six months before the announcement was Raghuram Rajan, while the new banknotes have the signature of the newly appointed governor, Urjit Patel. Exchange of old notes ( edit ) People gathered at ATM of Axis Bank on 16 November 2016 in Mehsana, Gujarat to withdraw cash following deposit of demonetised currency notes in bank on 15 November 2016. The Reserve Bank of India stipulated that the demonetised notes could be deposited with banks over a period of fifty days until 30 December 2016. The banknotes could also be exchanged for legal tender over the counter at all banks. The limit for such exchange was ₹ 4,000 per person from 8 to 13 November, was increased to ₹ 4,500 per person from 14 to 17 November, reduced to ₹ 2,000 per person from 18 November. International airports also facilitated an exchange of notes for foreign tourists and out - bound travelers, amounting to a total value of ₹ 5,000 per person. The exchange of banknotes was stopped completely on 25 November : Modi had previously stated that the volume of exchange would be increased after 24 November. Withdrawal limits ( edit ) Cash withdrawals from bank accounts were restricted to ₹ 10,000 per day and ₹ 20,000 per week per account from 10 to 13 November. This limit was increased to ₹ 24,000 per week from 14 November 2016. A daily limit on withdrawals from ATMs was also imposed varying from ₹ 2,000 per day till 14 November, and ₹ 2,500 per day till 31 December. This limit was increased to ₹ 4,500 per day from 1 January, and again to ₹ 10,000 from 16 January 2017. Limits placed vide the circulars cited above on cash withdrawals from Current accounts / Cash credit accounts / Overdraft accounts stand withdrawn with immediate effect. RBI increased the withdrawal limit from Savings Bank account to ₹ 50,000 from the earlier ₹ 24,000 on 20 February 2017 and then on 13 March 2017, it removed all withdrawal limits from Savings Bank Accounts. Under the revised guidelines issued on 17 November 2016, families were allowed to withdraw ₹ 250,000 ( ₹ 2.5 lakh ) for wedding expenses from one account provided it was KYC compliant. The rules were also changed for farmers who are permitted to withdraw ₹ 25,000 per week from their accounts against crop loans. Ordinance ( edit ) The Specified Bank Notes ( Cessation of Liabilities ) Ordinance, 2016 was issued on 28 December 2016 ceasing the liability of the government for the banned bank notes, and also imposing fines on people found carrying out transactions with them after 8 November 2016 ; or holding more than ten of them after 30 December 2016. The ordinance also provided for the exchange of the bank notes after 30 December for non-resident citizens and others on a case by case basis. Fuel pumps, government hospitals, railway and airline booking counters, state - government recognised dairies and ration stores, and crematoriums were allowed to accept the banned ₹ 500 and ₹ 1,000 bank notes until 2 December 2016. Information leaks ( edit ) A fortnight before the official announcement, a news report in the Hindi daily Dainik Jagran quoting RBI sources speaking of the planned release of new 2000 rupee notes alongside withdrawal of 500 and 1000 rupee notes. Similar news was reported in The Hindu Business Line on 21 October 2016, also describing a forthcoming 2000 rupee note and the possible withdrawal of 500 and 1000 rupee notes. The chairman of the State Bank of India had also openly spoken in April 2016 about the possibility of demonetisation of ₹ 500 and ₹ 1000 notes. Prominent businessmen stated after the announcement of demonetisation that they had received prior warning of the move, allowing them to convert their money into smaller denominations. A BJP MLA from Rajasthan, Bhawani Singh Rajawat, claimed in a video that wealthy businessmen were informed about the demonetisation before it occurred. He later denied the comments. More than 30 politicians belonging to the BJP were arrested and investigated for having unaccounted money in the new 2000 rupee denomination. Initial reactions ( edit ) Support ( edit ) The decision met with mixed initial reactions. Several bankers like Arundhati Bhattacharya ( Chairperson of State Bank of India ) and Chanda Kochhar ( MD & CEO of ICICI Bank ) appreciated the move in the sense that it would help curb black money. Businessmen Anand Mahindra ( Mahindra Group ), Sajjan Jindal ( JSW Group ), Kunal Bahl ( Snapdeal and FreeCharge ) also supported the move adding that it would also accelerate e-commerce. Infosys founder N.R. Narayana Murthy praised the move. The Indian National Congress spokesperson Randeep Surjewala welcomed the move but remained sceptical on the consequences that would follow. Chief Minister of Bihar Nitish Kumar supported the move. The demonetisation also got support from Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh Nara Chandrababu Naidu. Former Chief Election Commissioner of India S.Y. Quraishi said demonetisation could lead to long term electoral reforms. Indian social activist Anna Hazare hailed demonetisation as a revolutionary step. The former President of India Pranab Mukherjee welcomed the demonetisation move by calling it bold step. The opinion of the masses varied both ways on micro-blogs and social media sites like Twitter. By and large, international response was positive which saw the move as a bold crackdown on corruption. International Monetary Fund ( IMF ) issued a statement supporting Modi 's efforts to fight corruption by the demonetisation policy. Chinese state media Global Times praised the move and termed it as `` fierce fight against black money and corruption. '' Former Prime Minister of Finland and Vice-President of European Commission Jyrki Katainen welcomed the demonetisation move stressing that bringing transparency will strengthen Indian economy. BBC 's South Asia Correspondent Justin Rowlatt in his article praised the move for its secrecy. Tim Worstall termed the demonetisation as welcome macroeconomic effect in his article in Forbes magazine. Swedish Minister of Enterprise Mikael Damberg supported the move by calling it bold decision. Indian - American economist Jagdish Bhagwati praised the demonetisation. Criticism ( edit ) The Indian Supreme Court while hearing one among a slew of cases filed against the sudden demonetisation decision in various courts, observed that it `` appears to be carpet bombing and not surgical strike '' which government repeatedly claims it to be. Nobel laureate Indian economist Amartya Sen, severely criticised the demonetisation move calling it a `` despotic action '' among other things. Former Senior Vice-President and Chief Economist of the World Bank, Kaushik Basu, called it a ' major mistake ' and said that the ' damage ' is likely to be much greater than any possible benefits. Pronab Sen, former Chief Statistician and Planning Commission of India member, called it a `` hollow move '' since it did not really address any of the purported goals of tackling black money or fake currency. Prabhat Patnaik, a former professor of economics at the Jawaharlal Nehru University, Delhi called the move ' witless ' and ' anti-people '. He criticised the simple way in which black money was assumed as `` a hoard of cash '', saying that it would have little effect in eliminating `` black activities '' while `` causing much hardship to common people. '' Noted economist and journalist, T.N. Ninan wrote in the Business Standard that demonetisation ' looks like a bad idea, badly executed on the basis of some half - baked notions '. Deepak Parekh ( Chairman of HDFC ) had initially appreciated the decision to ban the ₹ 500 and ₹ 1000 notes, but later said that the move had derailed the economy, and expressed skepticism about its outcome. Industrialist Rajiv Bajaj criticised the demonetisation, saying that not just the execution, but the concept of demonetisation was wrong in itself. Chief Ministers of several Indian states like Mamata Banerjee, Arvind Kejriwal and Pinarayi Vijayan have criticised and led major protests against the decision in their states and in parliament. Initially, the move to demonetise and try to hinder black money was appreciated, but the manner in which it was carried out by causing hardships to common people was criticised. A Public Interest Litigation ( PIL ) was filed in Madras High Court by M Seeni Ahamed, General Secretary of the Indian National League, to scrap the decision. The High Court dismissed the PIL stating that it could not interfere in monetary policies of the government. Similar PILs were also filed in the Supreme Court of India. Supreme Court of India is yet to decide on the matter. It is listed for hearing on 2 December 2016. Several government ministers had declared before the demonetisation that they were holding large amounts of cash, including Arun Jaitley, who had more than 65 lakh rupees in cash. This led to speculation about whether and when the ministers had deposited the cash they held. Steve Forbes described the move as ' Sickening And Immoral '. He stated that `` What India has done is commit a massive theft of people 's property without even the pretense of due process -- a shocking move for a democratically elected government. '' Nobel laureate Paul Krugman said that it is difficult to see gains from demonetisation, while there may be significant costs to it. The demonetisation also came in for sharp criticism from media outside India, with the New York Times saying that the demonetisation was `` atrociously planned '' and that it did not appear to have combatted black money, while an article in The Guardian stated that `` Modi has brought havoc to India ''. The Harvard Business Review called it `` a case study in poor policy and even poorer execution '' The frequent change in the narrative on objectives of the demonetisation to its visible impact on the poorest of the poor made other critiques calling government 's narrative as spins in view of the `` pointless suffering on India 's poorest. '' A Parliamentary panel report in April 2017 stated that rural households and honest taxpayers were the worst hit by demonetisation. It said that it was not just the poor that suffered, but the manufacturing sector was impacted too. According to the panel, demonetisation created significant disruption throughout economy, because it was carried out without prior study or research. Opposition ( edit ) A Congress led opposition which includes 13 political parties, opposed the current government on the demonetisation issue in the Winter Session of the Indian Parliament on 16 November 2016. The Chief Minister of West Bengal Mamata Banerjee also met the President Pranab Mukherjee to oppose the demonetisation. The debate on demonetisation is known to be initiated by Indian National Congress and Anand Sharma in the Rajya Sabha on 16 November 2016, while Banerjee is known to be the first to oppose the current government on the demonetisation. On 16 November 2016, Banerjee led a rainbow delegation comprising political parties of Trinamool Congress, Aam Aadmi Party, BJP ally Shiv Sena, Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti ( of Hardik Patel ) and National Conference to Rashtrapati Bhawan to protest against the decision to withdraw the ₹ 500 and ₹ 1000 banknotes. A memorandum was submitted to the President of India Pranab Mukherjee demanding rollback of the decision. Outside the Parliament in a rally the same day, Saugata Roy, a member of parliament from the opposition Trinamool Congress Party, commented, `` People are in utter distress, especially the informal sector is totally disrupted. Poor people, daily wage earners, they 're all facing difficulty. '' In the demonetisation debate on the first day of the winter session of Parliament at the Rajya Sabha, Pramod Tiwari from the Indian National Congress compared Narendra Modi to Benito Mussolini, Adolf Hitler and Muammar Gaddafi. Prem Chand Gupta, a member of the Rashtriya Janata Dal, questioned a statement of Modi from the unscheduled TV broadcast on 8 November, `` If it was planned 10 months ago, how did RBI Governor Urjit Patel sign on new note? ''. Praful Patel, a member of the Nationalist Congress Party, stated that `` the government was not even prepared to recalibrate the ATMs while announcing the move. People 's suffering are unimaginable. Nobody is questioning the government 's intention, but you are unprepared to execute the move ''. Later, the former Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh Mayawati Prabhu Das stated the situation to `` a financial emergency '', by saying `` It looks as if Bharat has shut down. '' Also, Sitaram Yechury from Communist Party of India, questioned the government on the demonetisation move by stating `` only 6 % of black money in India is in cash to drive his point that demonetisation wo n't curb illicit wealth. '' On 17 November 2016, in a rally against demonetisation of ₹ 500 and ₹ 1000 notes, led by the Chief Minister of Delhi Arvind Kejriwal and his West Bengal counterpart Mamata Banerjee at Azadpur Mandi, the biggest vegetable and fruits wholesale hub in the national capital ; Kejriwal demanded the withdrawal of demonetisation in 3 days. Banerjee also stated `` I give the government 3 day ultimatum, fix things or withdraw the demonetisation scheme ''. In the demonetisation debate on the second and third day of the Winter Session of Parliament, on 17 and 18 November 2016, the opposition and the government clashed over the demonetisation issue, bringing the house to continuous halts. On 24 November 2016, in the demonetisation debate, the former prime minister of India Manmohan Singh said `` this scheme will hurt small industries, the farming sector. The GDP can decline by about 3 per cent due to this move '', while he also questioned `` I would like to ask the Prime Minister examples of countries where people have deposited their money in the banks and not allowed to withdraw their own money. '' and later also said `` It is no good that on each day banks bring out new notifications. It does n't reflect properly on Prime Minister 's Office, Finance Minister and the Reserve Bank of India. Cooperative banking system has been prevented from handling cash ''. Singh at last termed the demonetisation move as an `` organised loot, legalised plunder of the common people ''. As the demonetisation was opposed in both houses of the parliament, it triggered organised nationwide strikes across India. Opposition parties like Indian National Congress, Bahujan Samaj Party, Trinamool Congress, DMK, JD ( U ), AIADMK, Nationalist Congress Party, Left, Rashtriya Janata Dal and the Samajwadi Party decided to observe ' Akrosh Diwas ' as, a protest campaign day on 28 November and launch protests in front of banks, demanding that money be returned to people. In the state of Bihar, 15 trains were blocked and stranded, while the states of West Bengal, Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh saw protest marches and rallies led by opposition parties. In the state of Kerala, shops and business establishments were shut, with school and colleges closed throughout the state, while movements of private vehicles were also disrupted in Northern Kerala. Effects and Analysis ( edit ) Black money ( edit ) The government had estimated that ₹ 3 trillion, or approximately 20 %, of the demonetised notes would be permanently removed from circulation. However, by 30 December 2016, approximately 97 % of the demonetised banknotes, or ₹ 14.97 trillion ( $220 billion ) of the ₹ 15.4 trillion that had been demonetised, had been deposited with the banking system. A Central Bank report released in August 2017 stated that a total 99 % of the ₹ 500 and ₹ 1000 notes that were demonetised returned to the banking system, a figure far larger than the government had expected at the time of banning the notes. Therefore, the government failed in its aim of purging black money from the economy. Modi had stated that due to demonetisation, corrupt officials, businessmen and criminals -- popularly believed to hoard large amounts of illicit cash -- would be stuck with `` worthless pieces of paper ''. Economic analyst Vivek Kaul stated in a BBC article that `` demonetisation had been a failure of epic proportions. '' Human trafficking ( edit ) Nobel laureate Kailash Satyarthi and others working to fight human trafficking said that the note ban had led to a huge fall in sex trafficking, but that the trade had already begun rebounding by the following month. Satyarthi said the demonetisation would be effective in combating exploitation of children as well as corruption and would be a great obstacle to traffickers. However, two months later he expressed his disappointment on Rs 2000 notes being pushed into human trafficking in absence of other concrete steps. Radical groups ( edit ) Demonetisation had badly hit Maoist and Naxalites as well. The surrender rate has reached its highest since demonetisation was announced. It is said that the money these organisations collected over the years have now lost their value making them take such a decision. The move also reportedly crippled Communist guerrilla groups ( Naxalites ) financing through money laundering. On 10 November the police arrested a petrol pump owner at Ranchi when he reportedly tried to deposit ₹ 2.5 billion, belonging to a person affiliated with the banned Communist Party of India ( Maoist ). According to Chhattisgarh Police demonetisation has affected the Naxalite activities. It is reported that insurgents have stashed more than ₹ 70 billion in the Bastar region. Cash shortage ( edit ) Queue at an ATM for ₹ 100 banknotes in Howrah, on 8 November 2016, 22 : 23 ( IST ) Social media campaign ' Live ATM Alert ' for working ATMs The scarcity of cash due to demonetisation led to chaos, and most people holding old banknotes faced difficulties in exchanging them due to endless queues outside banks and ATMs across India, which became a daily routine for millions of people waiting to deposit or exchange the ₹ 500 and ₹ 1000 banknotes since 9 November. ATMs were running out of cash after a few hours of being functional, and around half the ATMs in the country were non-functional. Sporadic violence was reported in New Delhi, but there were no reports of any grievous injury, people attacked bank premises and ATMs, and a ration shop was looted in Madhya Pradesh after the shop owner refused to accept ₹ 500 banknotes. The CMD of Punjab National Bank said that panic after demonetisation started fading on 19 November 2016. As of 18 December 2016, there were still long queues at banks and ATMs. Three months after the withdrawal of banknotes, a quarter of the ATMs were still short of cash. ' Live ATM Alert ' was a hashtag campaign started by a group of youngsters from a Facebook community called ' 7PM Status '. It launched a campaign for crowdsourcing locations of ATMs in their vicinity that were live and working. The public were asked to post the location and details of ATMs that were live and dispensing cash, including a hashtag # LiveATMAlert or by tagging the group in their post in Facebook or Twitter. The group would in turn collate all gathered information and broadcast it to their followers at regular intervals. The cash shortage was still ongoing in the month of April 2017, five months after the demonetisation. According to a survey, the situation was as bad as 83 % of people being unable to withdraw money in Hyderabad, while in Pune, the figure was 69 %. As of 10 December, ₹ 242 crore in new notes had been seized. Reports in the media noted that although the general public faced a severe cash shortage, some individuals were able to amass crores of rupees in new notes ; they thus described the demonetisation exercise as being futile. Deaths ( edit ) Several people were reported to have died from standing in queues for hours to exchange their old banknotes. Deaths were also attributed to lack of medical help due to refusal of old banknotes by hospitals. As of 15 November 2016, the attributed death toll was 25. and 33 deaths as of 18 November. In an interview, Chief Minister of Delhi Arvind Kejriwal lashed out at a BBC reporter who asked him to justify his 19 November claim that 55 deaths were linked to demonetisation. By the end of the year, opposition leaders claimed that over 100 people had died due to demonetisation. In March 2017, the government stated that they received no official report on deaths connected to demonetisation. Stock market decline ( edit ) As a combined effect of demonetisation and US presidential election, the stock market indices dropped to an around six - month low in the week following the announcement. The day after the demonetisation announcement, BSE SENSEX crashed nearly 1,689 points and NIFTY 50 plunged by over 541 points. By the end of the intraday trading section on 15 November 2016, the BSE SENSEX index was lower by 565 points and the NIFTY 50 index was below 8100 intraday. Transportation disruption ( edit ) After the demonetisation was announced, about 800,000 truck drivers were affected with scarcity of cash, with around 400,000 trucks stranded at major highways across India were reported. While major highway toll junctions on the Gujarat and Delhi - Mumbai highways also saw long queues as toll plaza operators refused the old banknotes. Nitin Gadkari, the Minister of Transport, subsequently announced a suspension of toll collections on all national highways across India until midnight of 11 November, later extended until 14 November and again until midnight of 18 November, and yet again till 2 December. Agriculture ( edit ) Transactions in the Indian agriculture sector are heavily dependent on cash and were adversely affected by the demonetisation of ₹ 500 and ₹ 1,000 banknotes. Due to scarcity of the new banknotes, many farmers have insufficient cash to purchase seeds, fertilisers and pesticides needed for the plantation of rabi crops usually sown around mid-November. Farmers and their unions conducted protest rallies in Gujarat, Amritsar and Muzaffarnagar against the demonetisation as well as against restrictions imposed by the Reserve Bank of India on district cooperative central banks which were ordered not to accept or exchange the demonetised banknotes. The demonetisation led to unavailability of cash to pay for food products. The reduction in demand that arose in turn led to a crash in the prices of crops. Farmers were unable to recover even the costs of transportation from their fields to the market from the low prices offered. The prices dropped as low as 50 paise per kilo for tomatoes and onions. This forced the farmers across the country to dump their products in desperation. Some farmers resorted to burying unsold vegetables. Agricultural produce such as vegetables, foodgrains, sugarcane, milk and eggs were dumped on roads. Some farmers dumped their produce in protest against the government. Digital transactions and cashless economy ( edit ) The demonetisation was initially seen by some sources as a significant step towards making India a cashless economy. Prime Minister Narendra Modi appealed to Indian population in his radio address in Dec 2016 to go cashless with slogan - ' Less - cash ' first, ' cashless society ' next. More people began using cards and e-wallets, and the demand for point of sales ( POS ) or card swipe machines increased. This led to the acceleration of installation of POS machines According to data of Pine Labs, the demand for its POS machines doubled after the decision. The company stated that the debit card transactions rose by 108 % and credit card transactions by 60 % on 9 November 2016. However concerns were raised regarding the lack security of mobile apps used for digital transactions. Several e-commerce companies hailed the demonetisation decision as an impetus to an increase in digital payments, hoping that it would lead to a decline in COD returns which could cut down their costs. In December 2016, the government launched an app called BHIM ( Bharat Interface for Money ) based on the Unified Payment Interface. In September 2017, Google launched its first India - only banking app using UPI called Google Tez, that can be used by customers of over 50 banks on the UPI platform, and is available in several Indian languages. Both the Immediate Mobile Payments System ( IMPS ) and the Unified Payments Interface ( UPI ), which support instant payments using mobile phones, have grown substantially since demonetisation, even as cash has returned to the economy. After peaking in December 2016, digital transactions declined from January 2017 onwards, thus thwarting the objective of increasing digital payments through demonetisation. GDP growth ( edit ) Global analysts cut their forecasts of India 's GDP growth rate for the financial year 2016 - 17 by 0.5 to 3 percent due to demonetisation. India 's GDP in 2016 is estimated to be US $2.25 trillion, hence, each 1 per cent reduction in growth rate represents a shortfall of US $22.5 billion ( ₹ 1.54 lakh crore ) for the Indian economy. According to Societe Generale, India 's quarterly GDP growth rates would drop below 7 % for an entire year at a stretch for the first time since June 2011. India 's GDP growth for the quarter Jan - Mar ' 17 was 6.1 % as against a forecast of 7.1 % by economists. The GDP growth for the entire fiscal year was 7.1 %, a reduction from the 8 % of the previous year. This drop in GDP was attributed to demonetisation by economists. The GDP growth rate for the quarter April - June 2017 dropped to 5.7 %, in comparison to 7.9 % for the same quarter in the previous year. This drop in GDP growth was attributed to demonetisation. This was the lowest growth in GDP since 2014. Drop in industrial output ( edit ) There was a reduction in industrial output as industries were hit by the cash crisis. The Purchasing Managers ' Index ( PMI ) fell to 46.7 in November from 54.5 in October, recording its sharpest reduction in three years. A reading above 50 indicates growth and a reading below shows contraction. This indicates a slowdown in both, manufacturing and services industries. The PMI report also showed that the reduction in inflation in November was due to shortage in money supply. The growth in eight core sectors such as cement, steel and refinery products, which constitute 38 % of the Index of Industrial Production ( IIP ), was only to 4.9 percent in November as compared with 6.6 percent in October. Unemployment ( edit ) There was a loss of jobs due to demonetisation, particularly in the unorganised and informal sector and in small enterprises. Labour union jobs were crashed. Around 1.5 million jobs were lost in first four months of 2017 ( i.e ) from January 2017 to April 2017 as an effect of demonetisation. Tax impacts ( edit ) The Finance Ministry instructed all revenue intelligence agencies to join the crackdown on foreign exchange traders, hawala operators and jewellers besides tracking movement of demonetised currency notes. It was reported that the Prime Minister 's Office ( PMO ) and the Prime Minister Modi himself were directly coordinating the raids conducted by the Income Tax, Enforcement Directorate ( ED ) and other agencies. As of 23 December, PMO received around 700 calls giving information about black money and it directly forwarded the information to various law enforcement agencies for further action. Income Tax departments raided various illegal tax - evasive businesses in Delhi, Mumbai, Chandigarh, Ludhiana and other cities that traded with demonetised currency. The Enforcement Directorate issued several FEMA notices to forex and gold traders. Large sum of cash in defunct notes were seized in different parts of the country. In Chhattisgarh liquid cash worth of ₹ 4.4 million ( US $66,000 ) was seized. The number of I-T returns filed between 1 April 2017 and 5 August 2017 grew by 24.7 per cent to 2.82 crore over the same period in 2016, and the advance tax collections between 1 April 2017 and 5 August 2017 rose 41.8 % over the corresponding period in 2016. Aarati Krishnan, writing for The Hindu, writes that the impact of demonetisation on tax base has been mostly a good news. An analysis of the economic data shows that there has been no substantial increase in the number of new tax payers or direct tax collection due to demonetisation. As the use of the demonetised notes had been allowed by the government for the payment of municipal and local body taxes, it led to people using the demonetised ₹ 500 and ₹ 1,000 notes to pay large amounts of outstanding and advance taxes. As a result, revenue collections of the local civic bodies jumped. The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation reported collecting about ₹ 1.6 billion ( US $24 million ) in cash payments of outstanding and advance taxes, within 4 days. People left with old notes ( edit ) The government had initially announced that any person who is unable to deposit the old notes by 31 December 2016 would be given an opportunity to do so until a later date. However, the government allowed only Non-Resident Indians ( NRIs ) to deposit old notes after 31 December 2016. As a result, many people with legitimately earned old notes were left stranded with old currency notes. This included housewives with hidden savings, soldiers who were on duty during the demonetisation period, people who had suffered a bereavement, and persons who had old notes received as wedding gifts before the demonetisation. Many people found small amounts of currency stashed away inside quilts, pillows, cupboards, lockers, behind old photographs and wall hangings, in some cases by family members who had died. In one case, two destitute orphans found ₹ 96,000 left by their mother and petitioned the Prime Minister for relief. A poor woman who was unable to get her old notes exchanged stripped outside the RBI office in desperation. OCIs and PIOs were also not allowed to exchange old notes. People petitioned the courts to allow deposit of the old banknotes. The Supreme Court of India also questioned the government on this matter. RBI dividend decline ( edit ) The dividend paid by the Reserve Bank to the government for the financial year 2016 - 17 was Rs. 30.7 lakh crore, as against the expectation of Rs. 74.9 lakh crore. This was less than half the dividend of Rs 65.9 lakh crore paid by the RBI in 2015 - 16. This decrease was due to demonetisation. It was estimated that this decrease in income for the government could cause the fiscal deficit for the financial year 2016 - 17 to increase from the targeted 3.2 % to 3.4 %. To avoid increasing the fiscal deficit, the government would have to reduce spending on social schemes, or increase revenue through taxes or other means. Evasion attempts ( edit ) A jewellery store in a shopping mall with a notice `` We accept ₹ 500 and ₹ 1000 notes '', even after they were no longer valid banknotes. Gold purchases ( edit ) In Gujarat, Delhi and many other major cities, sales of gold increased on 9 November, with an increased 20 to 30 % premium surging the price as much as ₹ 45,000 ( US $670 ) from the ruling price of ₹ 31,900 ( US $480 ) per 10 grams ( 0.35 oz ). Income Tax officials raided multiple branches of Axis Bank and found bank officials involved in money laundering acts, exchanging old notes for gold. Donations in temples ( edit ) In India, the cash deposited into hundis, or cash collection boxes in temples and gurudwaras are exempted from inquiry by the tax department. This exemption is sometimes misused to launder money. After the note ban, there was a spike in donations in the form of the demonetised notes in temples. Authorities of Sri Jalakanteswarar temple at Vellore discovered cash worth ₹ 4.4 million ( US $66,000 ) from the temple hundi in the form of defunct notes. Multiple Bank transactions ( edit ) There have been reports of people circumventing the restrictions imposed on exchange transactions by conducting multiple transactions at different bank branches and also sending hired people, employees and followers in groups to exchange large amounts of banned currency at banks. In response, the government announced that it would start marking customers with indelible ink. This was in addition to other measures proposed to ensure that the exchange transactions are carried out only once by each person. Railway bookings ( edit ) As soon as the demonetisation was announced, it was observed by the Indian Railways authorities that a large number of people started booking tickets particularly in classes 1A and 2A for the longest distance possible, to get rid of unaccounted cash. A senior official said, `` On November 13, 42.7 million passengers were nationally booked across all classes. Of these, only 1,209 were 1A and 16,999 for 2A. It is a sharp dip from the number of passengers booked on November 9, when 27,237 passengers had booked tickets in 1A and 69,950 in 2A. '' The Railways Ministry and the Railway Board responded swiftly and decided that cancellation and refund of tickets of value ₹ 10,000 and above will not be allowed by any means involving cash. The payment can only be through cheque / electronic payment. Tickets above ₹ 10,000 can be refunded by filing ticket deposit receipt only on surrendering the original ticket. A copy of the PAN card must be submitted for any cash transaction above ₹ 50,000. The railway claimed that since the Railway Board on 10 November imposed a number of restrictions to book and cancel tickets, the number of people booking 1A and 2A tickets came down. Backdated accounting ( edit ) The Enforcement Directorate raided several forex establishments making back dated entries. Money laundering using backdated accounting was carried out by co-operative banks, jewellers, sellers of iPhones, and several other businesses.

It was released as the lead single from the album on June 25, 2001. The track was composed primarily by bassist Mark Hoppus about meeting a girl at a rock concert. It was inspired by the band 's early days touring punk rock clubs, mainly Soma in their hometown of San Diego. The song 's creation stems from Blink - 182 manager Rick DeVoe 's opinion that the album lacked a catchy, `` feel - good '' song. Hoppus composed `` The Rock Show '' in response, while guitarist Tom DeLonge composed the album 's second single, `` First Date ''. The song was influenced by bands such as the Ramones, Screeching Weasel, and the Descendents. The song peaked at number two on Billboard 's Modern Rock Tracks chart, making it the most successful single from the album. It also reached number 14 in the United Kingdom. The song 's music video finds the band given an unusually large budget for the video, and spending needlessly on random things. In promotion of the single, Blink - 182 performed the song live on late - night talk show Late Show with David Letterman.

The group had written a dozen songs after three weeks and invited the band 's manager, Rick DeVoe, to be the first person outside Blink - 182 to hear the new material, which the band found `` catchy ( but with ) a definitive edge ''. DeVoe sat in the control room and quietly listened to the recordings, and pressed the band at the end on why there was no `` Blink - 182 good - time summer anthem ( thing ) ''. DeLonge and Hoppus were furious, remarking, `` You want a fucking single? I 'll write you the cheesiest, catchiest, throwaway fucking summertime single you 've ever heard! '' Hoppus went home and wrote `` The Rock Show '' in ten minutes, and DeLonge similarly wrote `` First Date '', which became the most successful singles from the record and future live staples. Hoppus wrote the song based on his memories of the San Diego club Soma. In their early days, Blink - 182 performed dozens of concerts at the venue, mainly at the 5305 Metro Street location. `` It was covered with graffiti, it stunk, it was made of concrete and metal so the sound sucked and the toilets were always over-flowing. It was the best, we loved it, '' he recalled. Barker rememberd that the song 's arrangement was worked in the Famous Stars and Straps warehouse in San Diego. The band felt the song captured `` the spirit of the Ramones and Screeching Weasel, '' and `` ( it was ) definitely influenced by bands like the Descendents. '' The band members expanded upon this in a 2001 interview with BBC Music : `` I think it 's actually as if we built a punk rock time capsule and went back to five years ago when we were writing songs. We wrote that song as a mid-tempo punk - pop song about a girl, and it ended up being one of the better ones on the record. '' Although it only peaked at number 71 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 33 on the Mainstream Top 40 chart, it reached number two on Billboard 's Modern Rock Tracks chart. Reception ( edit ) Eric Aiese of Billboard examined the song through the lens of its airplay competition : `` As the face of rock radio has yielded toward the emerging hard sounds on `` nu metal, '' Blink continues to provide a contrasting voice (... ) `` The Rock Show '' clearly shows the band 's talent for writing -- and performing -- hooks. '' Music video ( edit ) The band filmed a music video that included them trashing televisions, trains, taking the homeless for a spa makeover, handing out cash to strangers and paying dancers to mow people 's lawns. The relatively large budget for the video, reportedly $500,000, was the basis of the joke and needlessly spent. The video recalls that of `` Taxloss '' by Mansun.

Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. ( February 2013 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Cerebral lobes Lateral surface of cerebrum. 4 lobes are shown. Medial surface of cerebrum. 5 lobes are shown. Identifiers NeuroNames hier - 1210 NeuroLex ID Lobe of cerebral cortex TA A14. 1.09. 005 FMA 61823 77800, 61823 Anatomical terms of neuroanatomy ( edit on Wikidata ) The lobes of the brain were originally a purely anatomical classification, but have been shown also to be related to different brain functions. The cerebrum, the largest portion of the human brain, is divided into lobes, but so is the cerebellum. If not specified, the expression `` lobes of the brain '' refers to the cerebrum. Terminologia Anatomica ( 1998 ) divides cerebrum into 6 lobes. Contents ( hide ) 1 Frontal lobe 2 Parietal lobe 3 Occipital lobe 4 Temporal lobe 5 Limbic lobe 6 Insular cortex 7 Additional images 8 See also 9 References 10 External links Frontal lobe ( edit ) Main article : Frontal lobe The frontal lobe is located at the front of each cerebral hemisphere and positioned in front of the parietal lobe and above and in front of the temporal lobe. It is separated from parietal lobe by a space between tissues called the central sulcus, and from the temporal lobe by a deep fold called the lateral sulcus also called the Sylvian fissure. The precentral gyrus, forming the posterior border of the frontal lobe, contains the primary motor cortex, which controls voluntary movements of specific body parts. The frontal lobe contains most of the dopamine - delicate neurons in the cerebral cortex. The dopamine system is associated with reward, attention, short - term memory tasks, planning, and motivation. Dopamine tends to limit and select sensory information arriving from the thalamus to the forebrain. A report from the National Institute of Mental Health says a gene variant that reduces dopamine activity in the prefrontal cortex is related to poorer performance and inefficient functioning of that brain region during working memory tasks, and to a slightly increased risk for schizophrenia. Parietal lobe ( edit ) Main article : Parietal lobe The parietal lobe is positioned above the occipital lobe and behind the frontal lobe and central sulcus. The parietal lobe integrates sensory information among various modalities, including spatial sense and navigation ( proprioception ), the main sensory receptive area for the sense of touch ( mechanoreception ) in the somatosensory cortex which is just posterior to the central sulcus in the postcentral gyrus, and the dorsal stream of the visual system. The major sensory inputs from the skin ( touch, temperature, and pain receptors ), relay through the thalamus to the parietal lobe. Several areas of the parietal lobe are important in language processing. The somatosensory cortex can be illustrated as a distorted figure -- the homunculus ( Latin : `` little man '' ), in which the body parts are rendered according to how much of the somatosensory cortex is devoted to them. The superior parietal lobule and inferior parietal lobule are the primary areas of body or spatial awareness. A lesion commonly in the right superior or inferior parietal lobule leads to hemineglect. Occipital lobe ( edit ) Main article : Occipital lobe The occipital lobe is the visual processing center of the mammalian brain containing most of the anatomical region of the visual cortex. The primary visual cortex is Brodmann area 17, commonly called V1 ( visual one ). Human V1 is located on the medial side of the occipital lobe within the calcarine sulcus ; the full extent of V1 often continues onto the posterior pole of the occipital lobe. V1 is often also called striate cortex because it can be identified by a large stripe of myelin, the Stria of Gennari. Visually driven regions outside V1 are called extrastriate cortex. There are many extrastriate regions, and these are specialized for different visual tasks, such as visuospatial processing, color differentiation, and motion perception. Temporal lobe ( edit ) Main article : Temporal lobe The temporal lobe is located beneath the lateral fissure on both cerebral hemispheres of the mammalian brain. The temporal lobe is involved in processing sensory input into derived meanings for the appropriate retention of visual memories, language comprehension, and emotion association. Limbic lobe ( edit ) Main article : Limbic lobe The limbic lobe is an arc - shaped region of cortex on the medial surface of each cerebral hemisphere of the mammalian brain, consisting of parts of the frontal, parietal and temporal lobes. The term is ambiguous, with some authors including the paraterminal gyrus, the subcallosal area, the cingulate gyrus, the parahippocampal gyrus, the dentate gyrus, the hippocampus and the subiculum ; while the Terminologia Anatomica includes the cingulate sulcus, the cingulate gyrus, the isthmus of cingulate gyrus, the fasciolar gyrus, the parahippocampal gyrus, the parahippocampal sulcus, the dentate gyrus, the fimbrodentate sulcus, the fimbria of hippocampus, the collateral sulcus, and the rhinal sulcus, and omits the hippocampus. Insular cortex ( edit ) Main article : Insular cortex The insular cortex is a portion of the cerebral cortex folded deep within the lateral sulcus ( the fissure separating the temporal lobe from the parietal and frontal lobes ). The insulae are believed to be involved in consciousness and play a role in diverse functions usually linked to emotion or the regulation of the body 's homeostasis. These functions include perception, motor control, self - awareness, cognitive functioning, and interpersonal experience. In relation to these, it is involved in psychopathology. The insular cortex is divided into two parts : the larger anterior insula and the smaller posterior insula in which more than a dozen field areas have been identified. The cortical area overlying the insula toward the lateral surface of the brain is the operculum ( meaning lid ). The opercula are formed from parts of the enclosing frontal, temporal, and parietal lobes. Additional images ( edit ) Interior view of brain.

Originally recorded by McGuffey Lane then by Steve Earle in 1984, it has also been released as a single by The Forester Sisters and Doug Supernaw, the latter of whom took it to Top 20 on the Billboard country charts in early 1995. Contents 1 Content 2 Recording history 3 Reception 4 Chart history 4.1 Steve Earle 4.2 The Forester Sisters 4.3 Doug Supernaw 5 References 6 External links Content ( edit ) `` What 'll You Do About Me '' is an uptempo describing a stalker who is singing to his object of affection. Specifically, what initially began as a one - night stand between the narrator and the woman in question ultimately results in the narrator developing an obsessive behavior towards her that he shamelessly declares unstoppable regardless of any attempt on the woman 's part to isolate herself from the narrator or to prevent his behavior from escalating. Recording History ( edit ) McGuffey Lane was the first artist or group to record the song in 1984 on their album Day by Day for Atlantic Records. Steve Earle was the second artist to record the song, doing so also in 1984, on Epic Records. Released as a single that year, Earle 's rendition peaked at number 76 on the country charts. However, this version was not included on an album until 2005, when Koch Records included it on a reissue of the compilation album Early Tracks ( 1987 ). Other subsequent recordings of the song include John Schneider on his album Too Good to Stop Now ( 1984 ), Randy Travis on his album Always & Forever ( 1987 ), The Forester Sisters on their album I Got a Date ( 1992 ), Nitty Gritty Dirt Band on their album Not Fade Away ( 1992 ), and Doug Supernaw on his album Deep Thoughts from a Shallow Mind ( 1995 ). The Forester Sisters and Supernaw both released their versions as singles also. Supernaw 's rendition was the highest - peaking of the three, peaking at number 16 on the U.S. country charts. Reception ( edit ) In his book Steve Earle : Fearless Heart, Outlaw Poet, author David McGee describes Earle 's rendition as having `` a hard country edge and snarling, borderline confrontational vocal. '' He compared it to Travis 's recording, saying that his interpretation showed a `` cool, maybe even slightly goofy would - be paramour (... ) treating it as a humorous depiction of all - consuming love -- no harm, no foul. '' In Richard Carlin 's book Country Music : A Biographical Dictionary, the author says that since Supernaw 's version was released while the O.J. Simpson trials were underway, the trials `` offered a somewhat creepy parallel to the song, which seemed to be sympathetic toward the abusive man.

( August 2007 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Overtime is a method of determining a winner in an ice hockey game when the score is tied after regulation. The main methods of determining a winner in a tied game are the overtime period ( commonly referred to as overtime ), the shootout, or a combination of both. If league rules dictate a finite time in which overtime may be played, with no penalty shoot - out to follow, the game 's winning team may or may not be necessarily determined.

Although in the past, full - length overtime periods were played, overtimes today are golden goal ( a form of sudden death ), meaning that the game ends immediately when a player scores a goal. North American overtime ( edit ) From November 21, 1942, when overtime was eliminated due to war time restrictions and continuing until the 1983 -- 84 season, all NHL regular - season games tied after 60 minutes of play ended as ties. On June 23, 1983, the NHL introduced a regular - season overtime period of five minutes. If the five - minute overtime period ended with no scoring, the game ended as a tie ( the World Hockey Association had used a 10 - minute regular season overtime period, as had the NHL prior to World War II ). In the first games to go to overtime, on October 5, 1983, the Minnesota North Stars and Los Angeles Kings skated to a 3 -- 3 tie, and the Detroit Red Wings and Winnipeg Jets tied 6 -- 6. The first regular - season game decided by overtime was on October 8, 1983, as the New York Islanders beat the Washington Capitals 8 -- 7. In 1987 -- 88 and since 1995, the American Hockey League has awarded teams one point in the standings for an overtime loss ( OTL ). In 1998, the AHL introduced a rule where teams will play the five - minute overtime period with four skaters and a goaltender, rather than at full strength ( five skaters ), except in two - man advantage situations. In a two - man advantage situation, the team with the advantage will play with five skaters against three skaters. The rule was popular and adopted by the NHL and ECHL the next season. Alex Ovechkin has the record for most NHL overtime goals with 20. In the Stanley Cup playoffs and in all one - game playoffs, overtime periods are played like regulation periods except for the golden goal rule -- in an overtime period, the game ends when one team scores a goal ; the teams are at full strength ( five skaters, barring penalties ), there is no shootout, and each overtime period is 20 minutes with full intermissions between overtime periods. Three of the game 's legendary players, Mark Messier ( 109 playoff goals ), Mario Lemieux ( 77 goals ), and Gordie Howe ( 68 goals ) never scored a playoff overtime goal. In many leagues ( including the NHL for regular - season games since the 2005 -- 06 season ) and in international competitions, a failure to reach a decision in a single overtime may lead to a shootout. Some leagues may eschew overtime periods altogether and end games in shootout should teams be tied at the end of regulation. In the ECHL, regular season overtime periods are played four on four for one five - minute period. In the Southern Professional Hockey League, regular season overtime periods are played three on three for one five - minute period, with penalties resulting in the opponents skating one additional player on ice ( up to two additional players ) for the penalty for the first three minutes, and a penalty shot in the final two minutes. The AHL, since the 2014 -- 15 season, extended the overtime to seven minutes, with the last three minutes reduced further to three men aside and teams getting an additional skater for each opponent 's penalty. The idea of using 3 - on - 3 skaters for the entirety of a five - minute overtime period for a regular season game was adopted by the NHL on June 24, 2015, for use in the 2015 -- 16 NHL season. International overtime ( edit ) In IIHF play, rules for overtime depend on the stage of the competition. For a round robin or preliminary round game that goes to overtime, the teams will play a maximum of five minutes of 3 - on - 3 hockey in the `` golden goal '' format. If no one scores in the five minute overtime, a three - round shootout will decide the winner. In the case of a playoff game or a bronze medal game, the teams will play a maximum of ten minutes of 4 - on - 4 hockey in the `` golden goal '' format. If there is no score in the overtime, a five - round shootout will decide the winner. If the gold medal game of a top category IIHF championship goes to overtime, the teams will play a maximum of twenty minutes of 5 - on - 5 hockey in the `` golden goal '' format. If there is no winner after the overtime, a five - round shootout will decide the winner. In all cases, the teams must change ends, and defend the same side that they did in the second period. Shootout ( edit ) International shootouts ( edit ) In international competition, shootouts ( or more formally, game - winning shots ( GWS ), and, in some European countries, bullets, or bullits ), are often used. Each coach selects three skaters from their team to take penalty shots one at a time against the opposing goaltender, with teams alternating shots. Each team gets one shot per round. The winner is the team with more goals after three rounds or the team that amasses an unreachable advantage before then ( ex. a team gains a two - goal lead with only one round left ). If the shootout is tied after three rounds, tie - breaker rounds are played one at a time ( with each team taking one additional shot ) until there is a winner. The IIHF first adopted the game - winning - shot procedure in 1992 when a new playoff procedure in the Winter Olympics and World Championships required a winner for each game. At that time, the shootout was five rounds and only used for knock - out games. In 2006, it was reduced to three rounds and used for all games, eliminating the possibility of tied games at IIHF events. Tie - breaker rounds are still used as needed, and the same or new players can take the tie - break shots, which is also done in reverse order. As of May 2016, all IIHF preliminary round games that are not decided by overtime, are decided by a three - round shootout. However, all playoff, bronze medal games and gold medal games of IIHF top level championships ( especially the Olympics ) are decided by five round shootouts. North American shootouts ( edit ) Most lower minor leagues ( ECHL, Central, UHL ) have featured a shootout where, at the end of regulation, a shootout similar to the international tournament format is used. However, in 2000, the ECHL adopted the AHL 's four - on - four overtime before the shootout. For the 2004 -- 05 AHL season, the AHL adopted a five - man shootout, which was first used in that league in 1986 -- 87. The standard five - man shootout is used after four - on - four overtime for all minor leagues in North America. The AHL switched to the NHL formatted three - man shootout for the 2014 -- 15 season. The Central Collegiate Hockey Association added the shootout as of the 2008 -- 09 season. Following the lead of minor leagues, as of the 2005 -- 06 season, the NHL ends exhibition and regular season games still tied after a five - minute - length, three - skaters - per - side overtime period ( as of the 2015 -- 16 NHL season onwards ) with a shootout. The NHL format is a three - round shootout with tiebreaker rounds as needed. All skaters ( except goalies ) on a team 's roster must shoot before any player can shoot a second time. On December 16, 2014 the longest shootout in NHL history went to 20 rounds before Nick Bjugstad of the Florida Panthers scored to defeat the Washington Capitals ; the previous record was 15 rounds. The shootout is not used in the playoffs for any North American league. Instead, full 20 - minute overtime periods are played until one team scores a goal. In the National Hockey League and American Hockey League All - Star Skills Competitions, the competition ends in a penalty shootout known as the Breakaway Relay. Tactics ( edit ) Tactics are very important during penalty shots and overtime shootouts for both the shooter and the goalie. Both shooters and goalies commonly consult their teammates and coaches for advice on the opposing player 's style of play. Shooters often consider the goalie 's strengths and weaknesses ( such as a fast glove or stick save ), preferred goaltending style ( such as butterfly or stand - up ) and method of challenging the shooter. Goaltenders often consider the shooter 's shot preference, expected angle of attack, a patented move a shooter commonly uses and even handedness of the shooter. Most shooters attempt to out - deke the goalie in order to create a better scoring chance. Former Detroit Red Wings forward Pavel Datsyuk and New York Rangers forward Martin St. Louis are examples of players who commonly use this tactic. However, it is not uncommon for a shooter to simply shoot for an opening without deking. This is commonly referred to as sniping. This is most commonly performed when a goalie challenges a shooter by giving them an open hole ( by keeping a glove, pad or stick out of position or being out of sound goaltending position altogether to tempt the shooter to aim for the given opening ). Former NHL forwards Markus Näslund and Brett Hull are two players commonly referred to as snipers. Very rarely a shooter may take a slapshot or wrist shot from the point or top of the slot. This is almost exclusively performed when a shooter either has a high level of confidence in their shot or they attempt to catch the goalie by surprise. Retired player Brian Rolston, Detroit Red Wings winger Todd Bertuzzi, Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Chris Pronger, and Vancouver Canucks winger Daniel Sedin have all used this tactic with success. List of notable overtime games ( edit ) The longest overtime game in history was an in Norwegian GET - ligaen. The game ended after 157 : 14 of overtime, in the 8th overtime period.

Detroit Red Wings ' Mud Bruneteau ends the longest Stanley Cup playoff game to date, scoring the game 's only goal in a 1 -- 0 victory over the Montreal Maroons. The goal comes at 16 : 30 of sextuple overtime for a total of 176 : 30 of game play. It is also the longest NHL ice hockey game ever played. The game is a mere 3 : 30 short of the equivalent of playing three games back - to - back - to - back. February 4, 1939 : The Boston Bruins ' Mel Hill scores his third overtime goal of the Bruins ' Stanley Cup semi-final series against the New York Rangers, setting an unsurpassed ( as of now ) NHL record for most overtime goals in a single playoff series, earning him the nickname thereafter of `` Sudden Death '' Hill. The series itself involves four overtime games, two of which go to triple overtime. April 23, 1950 : Pete Babando scores at 8 : 31 of double overtime to give the Detroit Red Wings a 4 -- 3 win in the seventh game of the 1950 Stanley Cup Finals over the New York Rangers. It is the first time that a seventh game of a Final series goes to overtime. April 21, 1951 : Bill Barilko scores at 2 : 53 of overtime to give the Toronto Maple Leafs a 3 -- 2 win in the fifth game of the 1951 Stanley Cup Finals over the Montreal Canadiens. All five games in the series need to have overtime to be decided. April 16, 1954 : Tony Leswick 's shot hit Montreal Canadiens ' defenceman Doug Harvey 's glove and went into the net at 4 : 20 of overtime to give the Detroit Red Wings a 2 -- 1 win in the seventh game of the 1954 Stanley Cup Finals over the Canadiens. No seventh game of a Final series has gone to overtime since. April 23, 1964 : Bobby Baun of the Toronto Maple Leafs nets a game winner against Detroit 1 : 43 into overtime in game six of the Finals to tie the series 3 -- all. The goal is notable because Baun broke his ankle earlier in the game. It was frozen and taped, and Baun returned to the ice to score the winning goal. May 10, 1970 : One of the most indelible moments in sports history is the sight of Bobby Orr 's `` in flight '' goal that gave the Boston Bruins a 4 -- 3 win and a four - game sweep of the St. Louis Blues in the Stanley Cup Finals. May 24, 1980 : Bob Nystrom of the New York Islanders scores the Stanley Cup clinching goal at 7 : 11 of overtime, beating the Philadelphia Flyers in six games for the title. April 14, 1981 : After sitting on the bench for the entire game, Mike Crombeen scored the winning goal at 5 : 16 of double overtime to give the St. Louis Blues a 4 - 3 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins. April 10, 1982 : `` Miracle on Manchester '' -- Rookie Daryl Evans gives the Los Angeles Kings a 6 -- 5 win over the Edmonton Oilers at 2 : 35 of overtime. The Kings had trailed the Oilers 5 -- 0 after the second period of game three of the Smythe Division Semi-final. This still remains the largest single game playoff comeback in NHL history. May 5, 1986 : Doug Wickenheiser 's overtime goal gives the St. Louis Blues a 6 -- 5 win over the Calgary Flames in game six of the Campbell Conference Final. The goal, known as the `` Monday Night Miracle '', caps a 5 -- 2 comeback and makes it more impressive that the three goals needed to tie the game were scored in the last ten minutes of the third period. May 18, 1986 : A Brian Skrudland goal ends the shortest overtime in NHL history at just nine seconds. The winning goal gives the Montreal Canadiens a 3 -- 2 victory over the Calgary Flames in game two of the 1986 Stanley Cup Finals. April 18, 1987 : `` Easter Epic '' -- Pat LaFontaine of New York Islanders scores a goal against Washington Capitals at 8 : 47 of quadruple overtime which ends the longest game seven in NHL playoff history. Islanders goaltender Kelly Hrudey makes a record 73 saves. May 15, 1990 : After hardly playing in overtime, Petr Klima came off the bench late in triple overtime and scored almost immediately to end the longest overtime in NHL Finals history, with 4 : 47 left. The goal gave the Edmonton Oilers a 3 -- 2 victory over the Boston Bruins to open the 1990 Stanley Cup Finals, setting the stage for the Oilers ' fifth cup in seven years. April 24, 1993 : In game four of the Adams division semi-final between the Buffalo Sabres and the Boston Bruins, Sabres forward Brad May scores in overtime to give Buffalo a 6 -- 5 win and sweep the Bruins in the series, four games to none. Due to Buffalo commentator Rick Jeanneret 's colorful play call when May scored, this game has been referred to in Buffalo as `` May Day ''. April to June 1993 : After losing in overtime of game one of the Adams division semi-final to the Quebec Nordiques, the Montreal Canadiens go on to win ten consecutive overtime games en route to winning the Stanley Cup. The Habs score another overtime winner the following year against the Boston Bruins, making it eleven consecutive playoff overtime wins. May 14, 1993 : In game seven of the Patrick Division Finals, David Volek who spent most of the season as a healthy scratch, scored the series winning goal to give the New York Islanders a 4 - 3 victory ending the Pittsburgh Penguins chances at a threepeat. April 27, 1994 : Dominik Hašek of the Buffalo Sabres stops all 70 shots produced by the New Jersey Devils as Dave Hannan scores the lone goal over a sprawling Martin Brodeur at 5 : 43 of quadruple overtime in game six of the Eastern Conference quarterfinal matchup. April 30, 1994 : Pavel Bure scores 2 : 20 into double overtime of the seventh game of the opening round of Vancouver 's playoff series with Calgary. The win gives the Vancouver Canucks three consecutive overtime wins over the favored Calgary Flames, who squander a 3 -- 1 series lead. May 27, 1994 : Stéphane Matteau scores the game - winning goal at 4 : 24 of double overtime with a wrap - around, beating Martin Brodeur and the New Jersey Devils in game seven, advancing the New York Rangers to the Stanley Cup Finals ( where they would ultimately win it for the first time since 1940 ). It is Matteau 's second goal in double overtime periods of the series. April 24, 1996 : Petr Nedved scores with 44.6 seconds remaining in quadruple overtime to give the Pittsburgh Penguins a 3 -- 2 win over the Washington Capitals to tie their Eastern Conference quarter - final series at two games apiece. June 6, 1996 : Uwe Krupp became the 12th player in NHL history to end the Stanley Cup Finals in overtime, scoring a goal at 4 : 31 of triple overtime, giving the Colorado Avalanche a 1 -- 0 win and a sweep of the Florida Panthers. June 19, 1999 : Brett Hull scores with 5 : 09 left in triple overtime of game six to win the Stanley Cup for the Dallas Stars over the Buffalo Sabres. The goal is considered controversial by some fans due to disagreement on if the goal by Hull was legal or not. ( see 1999 Stanley Cup Finals ). May 5, 2000 : Keith Primeau of the Philadelphia Flyers put a shot over the left shoulder of Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Ron Tugnutt with 7 : 59 left in quintuple overtime, ending the longest game since 1936. June 6, 2000 : Jason Arnott scores on Dallas Stars ' goalie Ed Belfour in double overtime of game six to give the New Jersey Devils their second Stanley Cup. April 12, 2007 : Roberto Luongo, goaltender for the Vancouver Canucks, wins his first career playoff game while making 72 saves, one shy of Kelly Hrudey 's record. The game is the sixth longest ever, going into quadruple overtime. Henrik Sedin scores the winning goal in the Western Quarterfinals, beating the Dallas Stars 5 -- 4 in game 1. The game is Vancouver 's longest in history, and the Star 's second longest, behind their five - overtime loss to Anaheim in 2003. May 5, 2008 : Brenden Morrow scores on San Jose Sharks goalie Evgeni Nabokov at 9 : 03 of quadruple overtime in game six of the Western Conference Semi-final between the Sharks and Stars. The game sees an incredible goaltending duel as Nabokov makes 53 saves in the loss while Marty Turco of Dallas makes 61 saves for the win.

The movement consists of several distinct organizations that are legally independent from each other, but are united within the movement through common basic principles, objectives, symbols, statutes and governing organisations. The movement 's parts are : The International Committee of the Red Cross ( ICRC ) is a private humanitarian institution founded in 1863 in Geneva, Switzerland, in particular by Henry Dunant and Gustave Moynier. Its 25 - member committee has a unique authority under international humanitarian law to protect the life and dignity of the victims of international and internal armed conflicts. The ICRC was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize on three occasions ( in 1917, 1944 and 1963 ). The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies ( IFRC ) was founded in 1919 and today it coordinates activities between the 190 National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies within the Movement. On an international level, the Federation leads and organizes, in close cooperation with the National Societies, relief assistance missions responding to large - scale emergencies. The International Federation Secretariat is based in Geneva, Switzerland. In 1963, the Federation ( then known as the League of Red Cross Societies ) was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize jointly with the ICRC. National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies exist in nearly every country in the world. Currently 190 National Societies are recognized by the ICRC and admitted as full members of the Federation. Each entity works in its home country according to the principles of international humanitarian law and the statutes of the international Movement. Depending on their specific circumstances and capacities, National Societies can take on additional humanitarian tasks that are not directly defined by international humanitarian law or the mandates of the international Movement. In many countries, they are tightly linked to the respective national health care system by providing emergency medical services.

( August 2012 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The International Committee of the Red Cross ( ICRC ) ( edit ) Solferino, Jean - Henri Dunant and the foundation of the ICRC ( edit ) Jean - Henri Dunant, author of A Memory of Solferino. Until the middle of the 19th century, there were no organized and / or well - established army nursing systems for casualties and no safe and protected institutions to accommodate and treat those who were wounded on the battlefield. A devout Reformed Christian, the Swiss businessman Jean - Henri Dunant, in June 1859, traveled to Italy to meet French emperor Napoléon III with the intention of discussing difficulties in conducting business in Algeria, at that time occupied by France. He arrived in the small town of Solferino on the evening of 24 June after the Battle of Solferino, an engagement in the Austro - Sardinian War. In a single day, about 40,000 soldiers on both sides died or were left wounded on the field. Jean - Henri Dunant was shocked by the terrible aftermath of the battle, the suffering of the wounded soldiers, and the near - total lack of medical attendance and basic care. He completely abandoned the original intent of his trip and for several days he devoted himself to helping with the treatment and care for the wounded. He took point in organizing an overwhelming level of relief assistance with the local villagers to aid without discrimination. Original document of the First Geneva Convention, 1864 Back in his home in Geneva, he decided to write a book entitled A Memory of Solferino which he published using his own money in 1862. He sent copies of the book to leading political and military figures throughout Europe, and people he thought could help him make a change. In addition to penning a vivid description of his experiences in Solferino in 1859, he explicitly advocated the formation of national voluntary relief organizations to help nurse wounded soldiers in the case of war, an idea that was inspired by Christian teaching regarding social responsibility, as well as his experience after the battlefield of Solferino. In addition, he called for the development of an international treaty to guarantee the protection of medics and field hospitals for soldiers wounded on the battlefield. In 1863, Gustave Moynier, a Geneva lawyer and president of the Geneva Society for Public Welfare, received a copy of Dunant 's book and introduced it for discussion at a meeting of that society. As a result of this initial discussion the society established an investigatory commission to examine the feasibility of Dunant 's suggestions and eventually to organize an international conference about their possible implementation. The members of this committee, which has subsequently been referred to as the `` Committee of the Five, '' aside from Dunant and Moynier were physician Louis Appia, who had significant experience working as a field surgeon ; Appia 's friend and colleague Théodore Maunoir, from the Geneva Hygiene and Health Commission ; and Guillaume - Henri Dufour, a Swiss Army general of great renown. Eight days later, the five men decided to rename the committee to the `` International Committee for Relief to the Wounded ''. In October ( 26 -- 29 ) 1863, the international conference organized by the committee was held in Geneva to develop possible measures to improve medical services on the battlefield. The conference was attended by 36 individuals : eighteen official delegates from national governments, six delegates from other non-governmental organizations, seven non-official foreign delegates, and the five members of the International Committee. The states and kingdoms represented by official delegates were : Austrian Empire, Grand Duchy of Baden, Kingdom of Bavaria, Second French Empire, Kingdom of Hanover, Grand Duchy of Hesse, Kingdom of Italy, Kingdom of the Netherlands, Kingdom of Prussia, Russian Empire, Kingdom of Saxony, Spanish Empire, United Kingdoms of Sweden and Norway, and United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. `` Committee of the Five '' : Gustave Moynier, Guillaume - Henri Dufour, Henry Dunant, Louis Appia, Théodore Maunoir Among the proposals written in the final resolutions of the conference, adopted on 29 October 1863, were : The foundation of national relief societies for wounded soldiers ; Neutrality and protection for wounded soldiers ; The utilization of volunteer forces for relief assistance on the battlefield ; The organization of additional conferences to enact these concepts ; The introduction of a common distinctive protection symbol for medical personnel in the field, namely a white armlet bearing a red cross.

War 1939 - 1945. Geneva, Central Prisoners of war Agency, Electoral building / Palace of the General Council Only one year later, the Swiss government invited the governments of all European countries, as well as the United States, Brazil, and Mexico, to attend an official diplomatic conference. Sixteen countries sent a total of twenty - six delegates to Geneva. On 22 August 1864, the conference adopted the first Geneva Convention `` for the Amelioration of the Condition of the Wounded in Armies in the Field ''. Representatives of 12 states and kingdoms signed the convention : Grand Duchy of Baden Kingdom of Belgium Kingdom of Denmark Second French Empire Grand Duchy of Hesse Kingdom of Italy Kingdom of the Netherlands Kingdom of Portugal and the Algarves Kingdom of Prussia Switzerland Kingdom of Spain Kingdom of Württemberg The convention contained ten articles, establishing for the first time legally binding rules guaranteeing neutrality and protection for wounded soldiers, field medical personnel, and specific humanitarian institutions in an armed conflict. Directly following the establishment of the Geneva Convention, the first national societies were founded in Belgium, Denmark, France, Oldenburg, Prussia, Spain, and Württemberg. Also in 1864, Louis Appia and Charles van de Velde, a captain of the Dutch Army, became the first independent and neutral delegates to work under the symbol of the Red Cross in an armed conflict. Three years later in 1867, the first International Conference of National Aid Societies for the Nursing of the War Wounded was convened. Also in 1867, Jean - Henri Dunant was forced to declare bankruptcy due to business failures in Algeria, partly because he had neglected his business interests during his tireless activities for the International Committee. Controversy surrounding Dunant 's business dealings and the resulting negative public opinion, combined with an ongoing conflict with Gustave Moynier, led to Dunant 's expulsion from his position as a member and secretary. He was charged with fraudulent bankruptcy and a warrant for his arrest was issued. Thus, he was forced to leave Geneva and never returned to his home city. In the following years, national societies were founded in nearly every country in Europe. The project resonated well with patriotic sentiments that were on the rise in the late - nineteenth - century, and national societies were often encouraged as signifiers of national moral superiority. In 1876, the committee adopted the name `` International Committee of the Red Cross '' ( ICRC ), which is still its official designation today. Five years later, the American Red Cross was founded through the efforts of Clara Barton. More and more countries signed the Geneva Convention and began to respect it in practice during armed conflicts. In a rather short period of time, the Red Cross gained huge momentum as an internationally respected movement, and the national societies became increasingly popular as a venue for volunteer work. When the first Nobel Peace Prize was awarded in 1901, the Norwegian Nobel Committee opted to give it jointly to Jean - Henri Dunant and Frédéric Passy, a leading international pacifist. More significant than the honor of the prize itself, this prize marked the overdue rehabilitation of Jean - Henri Dunant and represented a tribute to his key role in the formation of the Red Cross. Dunant died nine years later in the small Swiss health resort of Heiden. Only two months earlier his long - standing adversary Gustave Moynier had also died, leaving a mark in the history of the Committee as its longest - serving president ever. In 1906, the 1864 Geneva Convention was revised for the first time. One year later, the Hague Convention X, adopted at the Second International Peace Conference in The Hague, extended the scope of the Geneva Convention to naval warfare. Shortly before the beginning of the First World War in 1914, 50 years after the foundation of the ICRC and the adoption of the first Geneva Convention, there were already 45 national relief societies throughout the world. The movement had extended itself beyond Europe and North America to Central and South America ( Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Cuba, Mexico, Peru, El Salvador, Uruguay, Venezuela ), Asia ( the Republic of China, Japan, Korea, Siam ), and Africa ( Union of South Africa ). The ICRC during World War I ( edit ) French postcard celebrating the role of Red Cross nurses during the First World War, 1915 Ernest Hemingway in uniform as a Red Cross ambulance driver With the outbreak of World War I, the ICRC found itself confronted with enormous challenges that it could handle only by working closely with the national Red Cross societies. Red Cross nurses from around the world, including the United States and Japan, came to support the medical services of the armed forces of the European countries involved in the war. On 15 August 1914, immediately after the start of the war, the ICRC set up its International Prisoners - of - War ( POW ) Agency, which had about 1,200 mostly volunteer staff members by the end of 1914. By the end of the war, the Agency had transferred about 20 million letters and messages, 1.9 million parcels, and about 18 million Swiss francs in monetary donations to POWs of all affected countries. Furthermore, due to the intervention of the Agency, about 200,000 prisoners were exchanged between the warring parties, released from captivity and returned to their home country. The organizational card index of the Agency accumulated about 7 million records from 1914 to 1923. The card index led to the identification of about 2 million POWs and the ability to contact their families. The complete index is on loan today from the ICRC to the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum in Geneva. The right to access the index is still strictly restricted to the ICRC. During the entire war, the ICRC monitored warring parties ' compliance with the Geneva Conventions of the 1907 revision and forwarded complaints about violations to the respective country. When chemical weapons were used in this war for the first time in history, the ICRC vigorously protested against this new type of warfare. Even without having a mandate from the Geneva Conventions, the ICRC tried to ameliorate the suffering of civil populations. In territories that were officially designated as `` occupied territories '', the ICRC could assist the civilian population on the basis of the Hague Convention 's `` Laws and Customs of War on Land '' of 1907. This convention was also the legal basis for the ICRC 's work for prisoners of war. In addition to the work of the International Prisoner - of - War Agency as described above this included inspection visits to POW camps. A total of 524 camps throughout Europe were visited by 41 delegates from the ICRC until the end of the war. Between 1916 and 1918, the ICRC published a number of postcards with scenes from the POW camps. The pictures showed the prisoners in day - to - day activities such as the distribution of letters from home. The intention of the ICRC was to provide the families of the prisoners with some hope and solace and to alleviate their uncertainties about the fate of their loved ones. After the end of the war, between 1920 and 1922, the ICRC organized the return of about 500,000 prisoners to their home countries. In 1920, the task of repatriation was handed over to the newly founded League of Nations, which appointed the Norwegian diplomat and scientist Fridtjof Nansen as its `` High Commissioner for Repatriation of the War Prisoners ''. His legal mandate was later extended to support and care for war refugees and displaced persons when his office became that of the League of Nations `` High Commissioner for Refugees ''. Nansen, who invented the Nansen passport for stateless refugees and was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1922, appointed two delegates from the ICRC as his deputies. Red Cross ambulance from 1917 A year before the end of the war, the ICRC received the 1917 Nobel Peace Prize for its outstanding wartime work. It was the only Nobel Peace Prize awarded in the period from 1914 to 1918. In 1923, the International Committee of the Red Cross adopted a change in its policy regarding the selection of new members. Until then, only citizens from the city of Geneva could serve in the Committee. This limitation was expanded to include Swiss citizens. As a direct consequence of World War I, an treaty was adopted in 1925 which outlawed the use of suffocating or poisonous gases and biological agents as weapons. Four years later, the original Convention was revised and the second Geneva Convention `` relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War '' was established. The events of World War I and the respective activities of the ICRC significantly increased the reputation and authority of the Committee among the international community and led to an extension of its competencies. As early as in 1934, a draft proposal for an additional convention for the protection of the civil population in occupied territories during an armed conflict was adopted by the International Red Cross Conference. Unfortunately, most governments had little interest in implementing this convention, and it was thus prevented from entering into force before the beginning of World War II. The ICRC and World War II ( edit ) Red Cross message from Łódź, Poland, 1940. The legal basis of the work of the ICRC during World War II were the Geneva Conventions in their 1929 revision. The activities of the Committee were similar to those during World War I : visiting and monitoring POW camps, organizing relief assistance for civilian populations, and administering the exchange of messages regarding prisoners and missing persons. By the end of the war, 179 delegates had conducted 12,750 visits to POW camps in 41 countries. The Central Information Agency on Prisoners - of - War ( Agence centrale des prisonniers de guerre ) had a staff of 3,000, the card index tracking prisoners contained 45 million cards, and 120 million messages were exchanged by the Agency. One major obstacle was that the Nazi - controlled German Red Cross refused to cooperate with the Geneva statutes including blatant violations such as the deportation of Jews from Germany and the mass murders conducted in the Nazi concentration camps. Moreover, two other main parties to the conflict, the Soviet Union and Japan, were not party to the 1929 Geneva Conventions and were not legally required to follow the rules of the conventions. During the war, the ICRC was unable to obtain an agreement with Nazi Germany about the treatment of detainees in concentration camps, and it eventually abandoned applying pressure in order to avoid disrupting its work with POWs. The ICRC was also unable to obtain a response to reliable information about the extermination camps and the mass killing of European Jews, Roma, et al. After November 1943, the ICRC achieved permission to send parcels to concentration camp detainees with known names and locations. Because the notices of receipt for these parcels were often signed by other inmates, the ICRC managed to register the identities of about 105,000 detainees in the concentration camps and delivered about 1.1 million parcels, primarily to the camps Dachau, Buchenwald, Ravensbrück, and Sachsenhausen. It is known that Dr Maurice Rossel during World War II had been sent to Berlin as a delegate of the International Red Cross, as such he visited Theresienstadt in 1944. Claude Lanzmann recorded his experiences in 1979, producing a documentary entitled Visitor from the living. Marcel Junod, delegate of the ICRC, visiting POWs in Germany On 12 March 1945, ICRC president Jacob Burckhardt received a message from SS General Ernst Kaltenbrunner accepting the ICRC 's demand to allow delegates to visit the concentration camps. This agreement was bound by the condition that these delegates would have to stay in the camps until the end of the war. Ten delegates, among them Louis Haefliger ( Camp Mauthausen ), Paul Dunant ( Camp Theresienstadt ) and Victor Maurer ( Camp Dachau ), accepted the assignment and visited the camps. Louis Haefliger prevented the forceful eviction or blasting of Mauthausen - Gusen by alerting American troops, thereby saving the lives of about 60,000 inmates. Another example of great humanitarian spirit was Friedrich Born ( 1903 -- 1963 ), an ICRC delegate in Budapest who saved the lives of about 11,000 to 15,000 Jewish people in Hungary. Marcel Junod ( 1904 -- 1961 ), a physician from Geneva, was another famous delegate during the Second World War. An account of his experiences, which included being one of the first foreigners to visit Hiroshima after the atomic bomb was dropped, can be found in the book Warrior without Weapons. In 1944, the ICRC received its second Nobel Peace Prize. As in World War I, it received the only Peace Prize awarded during the main period of war, 1939 to 1945. At the end of the war, the ICRC worked with national Red Cross societies to organize relief assistance to those countries most severely affected. In 1948, the Committee published a report reviewing its war - era activities from 1 September 1939 to 30 June 1947. Since January 1996, the ICRC archive for this period has been open to academic and public research. Budapest 1945. Repatriation of 2000 Italian prisoners of war The ICRC after World War II ( edit ) The ICRC Headquarters in Geneva On 12 August 1949, further revisions to the existing two Geneva Conventions were adopted. An additional convention `` for the Amelioration of the Condition of Wounded, Sick and Shipwrecked Members of Armed Forces at Sea '', now called the second Geneva Convention, was brought under the Geneva Convention umbrella as a successor to the 1907 Hague Convention X. The 1929 Geneva convention `` relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War '' may have been the second Geneva Convention from a historical point of view ( because it was actually formulated in Geneva ), but after 1949 it came to be called the third Convention because it came later chronologically than the Hague Convention. Reacting to the experience of World War II, the Fourth Geneva Convention, a new Convention `` relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War '', was established. Also, the additional protocols of 8 June 1977 were intended to make the conventions apply to internal conflicts such as civil wars. Today, the four conventions and their added protocols contain more than 600 articles, a remarkable expansion when compared to the mere 10 articles in the first 1864 convention. In celebration of its centennial in 1963, the ICRC, together with the League of Red Cross Societies, received its third Nobel Peace Prize. Since 1993, non-Swiss individuals have been allowed to serve as Committee delegates abroad, a task which was previously restricted to Swiss citizens. Indeed, since then, the share of staff without Swiss citizenship has increased to about 35 %. On 16 October 1990, the UN General Assembly decided to grant the ICRC observer status for its assembly sessions and sub-committee meetings, the first observer status given to a private organization. The resolution was jointly proposed by 138 member states and introduced by the Italian ambassador, Vieri Traxler, in memory of the organization 's origins in the Battle of Solferino. An agreement with the Swiss government signed on 19 March 1993, affirmed the already long - standing policy of full independence of the Committee from any possible interference by Switzerland. The agreement protects the full sanctity of all ICRC property in Switzerland including its headquarters and archive, grants members and staff legal immunity, exempts the ICRC from all taxes and fees, guarantees the protected and duty - free transfer of goods, services, and money, provides the ICRC with secure communication privileges at the same level as foreign embassies, and simplifies Committee travel in and out of Switzerland. At the end of the Cold War, the ICRC 's work actually became more dangerous. In the 1990s, more delegates lost their lives than at any point in its history, especially when working in local and internal armed conflicts. These incidents often demonstrated a lack of respect for the rules of the Geneva Conventions and their protection symbols. Among the slain delegates were : Frédéric Maurice. He died on 19 May 1992 at the age of 39, one day after a Red Cross transport he was escorting was attacked in the Bosnian city of Sarajevo. Fernanda Calado ( Spain ), Ingeborg Foss ( Norway ), Nancy Malloy ( Canada ), Gunnhild Myklebust ( Norway ), Sheryl Thayer ( New Zealand ), and Hans Elkerbout ( Netherlands ). They were murdered at point - blank range while sleeping in the early hours of 17 December 1996 in the ICRC field hospital in the Chechen city of Nowije Atagi near Grozny. Their murderers have never been caught and there was no apparent motive for the killings. Rita Fox ( Switzerland ), Véronique Saro ( Democratic Republic of Congo, formerly Zaire ), Julio Delgado ( Colombia ), Unen Ufoirworth ( DR Congo ), Aduwe Boboli ( DR Congo ), and Jean Molokabonge ( DR Congo ). On 26 April 2001, they were en route with two cars on a relief mission in the northeast of the Democratic Republic of Congo when they came under fatal fire from unknown attackers. Ricardo Munguia ( El Salvador ). He was working as a water engineer in Afghanistan and travelling with local colleagues on 27 March 2003 when their car was stopped by unknown armed men. He was killed execution - style at point - blank range while his colleagues were allowed to escape. He was 39 years old. The killing prompted the ICRC to temporarily suspend operations across Afghanistan. Vatche Arslanian ( Canada ). Since 2001, he worked as a logistics coordinator for the ICRC mission in Iraq. He died when he was travelling through Baghdad together with members of the Iraqi Red Crescent. On 8 April 2003 their car accidentally came into the cross fire of fighting in the city. Nadisha Yasassri Ranmuthu ( Sri Lanka ). He was killed by unknown attackers on 22 July 2003 when his car was fired upon near the city of Hilla in the south of Baghdad. Emmerich Pregetter ( Austria ). He was an ICRC Logistics Specialist who was killed by a swarm of killer bees on 11 August 2008 while travelling with a convoy of ICRC trucks carrying construction material for rehabilitation of a surgical health clinic in the area of Jebel Marra, West Darfur, Sudan. Afghanistan ( edit ) ICRC is active in the Afghanistan conflict areas and has set up six physical rehabilitation centers to help land mine victims. Their support extends to the national and international armed forces, civilians and the armed opposition. They regularly visit detainees under the custody of the Afghan government and the international armed forces, but have also occasionally had access since 2009 to people detained by the Taliban. They have provided basic first aid training and aid kits to both the Afghan security forces and Taliban members because, according to an ICRC spokesperson, `` ICRC 's constitution stipulates that all parties harmed by warfare will be treated as fairly as possible ''. The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent societies ( IFRC ) ( edit ) History ( edit ) Henry Davison, Founding father of the League of Red Cross societies. In 1919, representatives from the national Red Cross societies of Britain, France, Italy, Japan, and the US came together in Paris to found the `` League of Red Cross Societies ''. The original idea was Henry Davison 's, then president of the American Red Cross. This move, led by the American Red Cross, expanded the international activities of the Red Cross movement beyond the strict mission of the ICRC to include relief assistance in response to emergency situations which were not caused by war ( such as man - made or natural disasters ). The ARC already had great disaster relief mission experience extending back to its foundation. The formation of the League, as an additional international Red Cross organization alongside the ICRC, was not without controversy for a number of reasons. The ICRC had, to some extent, valid concerns about a possible rivalry between both organizations. The foundation of the League was seen as an attempt to undermine the leadership position of the ICRC within the movement and to gradually transfer most of its tasks and competencies to a multilateral institution. In addition to that, all founding members of the League were national societies from countries of the Entente or from associated partners of the Entente. The original statutes of the League from May 1919 contained further regulations which gave the five founding societies a privileged status and, due to the efforts of Henry P. Davison, the right to permanently exclude the national Red Cross societies from the countries of the Central Powers, namely Germany, Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey, and in addition to that the national Red Cross society of Russia. These rules were contrary to the Red Cross principles of universality and equality among all national societies, a situation which furthered the concerns of the ICRC. The first relief assistance mission organized by the League was an aid mission for the victims of a famine and subsequent typhus epidemic in Poland. Only five years after its foundation, the League had already issued 47 donation appeals for missions in 34 countries, an impressive indication of the need for this type of Red Cross work. The total sum raised by these appeals reached 685 million Swiss francs, which were used to bring emergency supplies to the victims of famines in Russia, Germany, and Albania ; earthquakes in Chile, Persia, Japan, Colombia, Ecuador, Costa Rica, and Turkey ; and refugee flows in Greece and Turkey. The first large - scale disaster mission of the League came after the 1923 earthquake in Japan which killed about 200,000 people and left countless more wounded and without shelter. Due to the League 's coordination, the Red Cross society of Japan received goods from its sister societies reaching a total worth of about $100 million. Another important new field initiated by the League was the creation of youth Red Cross organizations within the national societies. A stamp from Turkey to support the Red Crescent, 1938. A joint mission of the ICRC and the League in the Russian Civil War from 1917 to 1922 marked the first time the movement was involved in an internal conflict, although still without an explicit mandate from the Geneva Conventions. The League, with support from more than 25 national societies, organized assistance missions and the distribution of food and other aid goods for civil populations affected by hunger and disease. The ICRC worked with the Russian Red Cross society and later the society of the Soviet Union, constantly emphasizing the ICRC 's neutrality. In 1928, the `` International Council '' was founded to coordinate cooperation between the ICRC and the League, a task which was later taken over by the `` Standing Commission ''. In the same year, a common statute for the movement was adopted for the first time, defining the respective roles of the ICRC and the League within the movement. During the Abyssinian war between Ethiopia and Italy from 1935 to 1936, the League contributed aid supplies worth about 1.7 million Swiss francs. Because the Italian fascist regime under Benito Mussolini refused any cooperation with the Red Cross, these goods were delivered solely to Ethiopia. During the war, an estimated 29 people lost their lives while being under explicit protection of the Red Cross symbol, most of them due to attacks by the Italian Army. During the Civil War in Spain from 1936 to 1939 the League once again joined forces with the ICRC with the support of 41 national societies. In 1939 on the brink of the Second World War, the League relocated its headquarters from Paris to Geneva to take advantage of Swiss neutrality.

In 1952, the 1928 common statute of the movement was revised for the first time. Also, the period of decolonization from 1960 to 1970 was marked by a huge jump in the number of recognized national Red Cross and Red Crescent societies. By the end of the 1960s, there were more than 100 societies around the world. On December 10, 1963, the Federation and the ICRC received the Nobel Peace Prize. In 1983, the League was renamed to the `` League of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies '' to reflect the growing number of national societies operating under the Red Crescent symbol. Three years later, the seven basic principles of the movement as adopted in 1965 were incorporated into its statutes. The name of the League was changed again in 1991 to its current official designation the `` International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies ''. In 1997, the ICRC and the IFRC signed the Seville Agreement which further defined the responsibilities of both organizations within the movement. In 2004, the IFRC began its largest mission to date after the tsunami disaster in South Asia. More than 40 national societies have worked with more than 22,000 volunteers to bring relief to the countless victims left without food and shelter and endangered by the risk of epidemics. Presidents of the IFRC ( edit ) As of November 2009, the president of the IFRC is Tadateru Konoe ( Japanese Red Cross ). The vice presidents are Annemarie Huber - Hotz ( Switzerland ), Osvaldo Manuel Ferrero ( Argentina ), Abbas Gullet ( Kenya ), Francesco Rocca ( Italy ) and Baige Zhao ( China ). Former presidents ( until 1977 titled `` Chairman '' ) have been : 1919 -- 1922 : Henry Davison ( U.S. ) 1922 -- 1935 : John Barton Payne ( U.S. ) 1935 -- 1938 : Cary Travers Grayson ( U.S. ) 1938 -- 1944 : Norman Davis ( U.S. ) 1944 -- 1945 : Jean de Muralt ( Switzerland ) 1945 -- 1950 : Basil O'Connor ( U.S. ) 1950 -- 1959 : Emil Sandström ( Sweden ) 1959 -- 1965 : John MacAulay ( Canada ) 1965 -- 1977 : José Barroso Chávez ( Mexico ) 1977 -- 1981 : Adetunji Adefarasin ( Nigeria ) 1981 -- 1987 : Enrique de la Mata ( Spain ) 1987 -- 1997 : Mario Enrique Villarroel Lander ( Venezuela ) 1997 -- 2000 : Astrid Nøklebye Heiberg ( Norway ) 2001 -- 2009 : Juan Manuel del Toro y Rivera ( Spain ) 2009 -- : Tadateru Konoé ( Japan ) Activities ( edit ) Organization of the Movement ( edit ) Entry to the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum in Geneva. Altogether, there are about 97 million people worldwide who serve with the ICRC, the International Federation, and the National Societies, the majority with the latter. The 1965 International Conference in Vienna adopted seven basic principles which should be shared by all parts of the Movement, and they were added to the official statutes of the Movement in 1986. Fundamental principles of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement ( edit ) At the 20th International Conference in Neue Hofburg, Vienna, from 2 -- 9 October 1965, `` proclaimed '' seven fundamental principles which are shared by all components of the Movement, and they were added to the official statutes of the Movement in 1986. The durability and universal acceptance is a result of the process through which they came into being in the form they have. Rather than an effort to arrive at agreement, it was an attempt to answer the question of what did they have in common, over the past 100 years, those operations and organisational units that were successful? As a result, the Fundamental Principles of the Red Cross and Red Crescent were not revealed, but found - through a deliberate and participative process of discovery. That makes it even more important to note that the text that appears under each `` heading '' is an integral part of the Principle in question and not an interpretation that can vary with time and place. Humanity The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, born of a desire to bring assistance without discrimination to the wounded on the battlefield, endeavours, in its international and national capacity, to prevent and alleviate human suffering wherever it may be found. Its purpose is to protect life and health and to ensure respect for the human being. It promotes mutual understanding, friendship, cooperation and lasting peace amongst all peoples. Impartiality It makes no discrimination as to nationality, race, religious beliefs, class or political opinions. It endeavours to relieve the suffering of individuals, being guided solely by their needs, and to give priority to the most urgent cases of distress. Neutrality In order to continue to enjoy the confidence of all, the Movement may not take sides in hostilities or engage at any time in controversies of a political, racial, religious or ideological nature. Independence The Movement is independent. The National Societies, while auxiliaries in the humanitarian services of their governments and subject to the laws of their respective countries, must always maintain their autonomy so that they may be able at all times to act in accordance with the principles of the Movement. Voluntary Service It is a voluntary relief movement not prompted in any manner by desire for gain. Unity There can be only one Red Cross or one Red Crescent Society in any one country. It must be open to all. It must carry on its humanitarian work throughout its territory. Universality The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, in which all Societies have equal status and share equal responsibilities and duties in helping each other, is worldwide. Activities and organization of the International conference and the Standing Commission ( edit ) Main article : Standing Commission of the Red Cross and Red Crescent The International Conference of the Red Cross and Red Crescent, which occurs once every four years, is the highest institutional body of the Movement. It gathers delegations from all of the national societies as well as from the ICRC, the IFRC and the signatory states to the Geneva Conventions. In between the conferences, the Standing Commission of the Red Cross and Red Crescent acts as the supreme body and supervises implementation of and compliance with the resolutions of the conference. In addition, the Standing Commission coordinates the cooperation between the ICRC and the IFRC. It consists of two representatives from the ICRC ( including its president ), two from the IFRC ( including its president ), and five individuals who are elected by the International Conference. The Standing Commission convenes every six months on average. Moreover, a convention of the Council of Delegates of the Movement takes place every two years in the course of the conferences of the General Assembly of the International Federation. The Council of Delegates plans and coordinates joint activities for the Movement. Activities and organization of the ICRC ( edit ) The mission of the ICRC and its responsibilities within the Movement ( edit ) The emblem of the International Committee of the Red Cross ( French : Comité international de la croix - rouge ). The official mission of the ICRC as an impartial, neutral, and independent organization is to stand for the protection of the life and dignity of victims of international and internal armed conflicts. According to the 1997 Seville Agreement, it is the `` Lead Agency '' of the Movement in conflicts. The core tasks of the Committee, which are derived from the Geneva Conventions and its own statutes, are the following : to monitor compliance of warring parties with the Geneva Conventions to organize nursing and care for those who are wounded on the battlefield to supervise the treatment of prisoners of war to help with the search for missing persons in an armed conflict ( tracing service ) to organize protection and care for civil populations to arbitrate between warring parties in an armed conflict Legal status and organization ( edit ) The ICRC is headquartered in the Swiss city of Geneva and has external offices in about 80 countries. It has about 12,000 staff members worldwide, about 800 of them working in its Geneva headquarters, 1,200 expatriates with about half of them serving as delegates managing its international missions and the other half being specialists like doctors, agronomists, engineers or interpreters, and about 10,000 members of individual national societies working on site. According to Swiss law, the ICRC is defined as a private association. Contrary to popular belief, the ICRC is not a non-governmental organization in the most common sense of the term, nor is it an international organization. As it limits its members ( a process called cooptation ) to Swiss nationals only, it does not have a policy of open and unrestricted membership for individuals like other legally defined NGOs. The word `` international '' in its name does not refer to its membership but to the worldwide scope of its activities as defined by the Geneva Conventions. The ICRC has special privileges and legal immunities in many countries, based on national law in these countries or through agreements between the Committee and respective national governments. According to its statutes it consists of 15 to 25 Swiss - citizen members, which it coopts for a period of four years. There is no limit to the number of terms an individual member can have although a three - quarters majority of all members is required for re-election after the third term. The leading organs of the ICRC are the Directorate and the Assembly. The Directorate is the executive body of the Committee. It consists of a general director and five directors in the areas of `` Operations '', `` Human Resources '', `` Resources and Operational Support '', `` Communication '', and `` International Law and Cooperation within the Movement ''. The members of the Directorate are appointed by the Assembly to serve for four years. The Assembly, consisting of all of the members of the Committee, convenes on a regular basis and is responsible for defining aims, guidelines, and strategies and for supervising the financial matters of the Committee. The president of the Assembly is also the president of the Committee as a whole. Furthermore, the Assembly elects a five - member Assembly Council which has the authority to decide on behalf of the full Assembly in some matters. The Council is also responsible for organizing the Assembly meetings and for facilitating communication between the Assembly and the Directorate. Due to Geneva 's location in the French - speaking part of Switzerland, the ICRC usually acts under its French name Comité international de la Croix - Rouge ( CICR ). The official symbol of the ICRC is the Red Cross on white background with the words `` COMITE INTERNATIONAL GENEVE '' circling the cross. Funding and financial matters ( edit ) The 2009 budget of the ICRC amounts to more than 1 billion Swiss francs. Most of that money comes from the States, including Switzerland in its capacity as the depositary state of the Geneva Conventions, from national Red Cross societies, the signatory states of the Geneva Conventions, and from international organizations like the European Union. All payments to the ICRC are voluntary and are received as donations based on two types of appeals issued by the Committee : an annual Headquarters Appeal to cover its internal costs and Emergency Appeals for its individual missions. The ICRC is asking donors for more than 1.1 billion Swiss francs to fund its work in 2010. Afghanistan is projected to become the ICRC 's biggest humanitarian operation ( at 86 million Swiss francs, an 18 % increase over the initial 2009 budget ), followed by Iraq ( 85 million francs ) and Sudan ( 76 million francs ). The initial 2010 field budget for medical activities of 132 million francs represents an increase of 12 million francs over 2009. Activities and organization of the International Federation ( edit ) The mission of the IFRC and its responsibilities within the Movement ( edit ) Emblem of the IFRC The IFRC coordinates cooperation between national Red Cross and Red Crescent societies throughout the world and supports the foundation of new national societies in countries where no official society exists. On the international stage, the IFRC organizes and leads relief assistance missions after emergencies such as natural disasters, manmade disasters, epidemics, mass refugee flights, and other emergencies. As per the 1997 Seville Agreement, the IFRC is the Lead Agency of the Movement in any emergency situation which does not take place as part of an armed conflict. The IFRC cooperates with the national societies of those countries affected -- each called the Operating National Society ( ONS ) -- as well as the national societies of other countries willing to offer assistance -- called Participating National Societies ( PNS ). Among the 187 national societies admitted to the General Assembly of the International Federation as full members or observers, about 25 -- 30 regularly work as PNS in other countries. The most active of those are the American Red Cross, the British Red Cross, the German Red Cross, and the Red Cross societies of Sweden and Norway. Another major mission of the IFRC which has gained attention in recent years is its commitment to work towards a codified, worldwide ban on the use of land mines and to bring medical, psychological, and social support for people injured by land mines. The tasks of the IFRC can therefore be summarized as follows : to promote humanitarian principles and values to provide relief assistance in emergency situations of large magnitude, such as natural disasters to support the national societies with disaster preparedness through the education of voluntary members and the provision of equipment and relief supplies to support local health care projects to support the national societies with youth - related activities Legal status and organization ( edit ) The IFRC has its headquarters in Geneva. It also runs five zone offices ( Africa, Americas, Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East - North Africa ), 14 permanent regional offices and has about 350 delegates in more than 60 delegations around the world. The legal basis for the work of the IFRC is its constitution. The executive body of the IFRC is a secretariat, led by a secretary general. The secretariat is supported by five divisions including `` Programme Services '', `` Humanitarian values and humanitarian diplomacy '', `` National Society and Knowledge Development '' and `` Governance and Management Services ''. The highest decision making body of the IFRC is its General Assembly, which convenes every two years with delegates from all of the national societies. Among other tasks, the General Assembly elects the secretary general. Between the convening of General Assemblies, the Governing Board is the leading body of the IFRC. It has the authority to make decisions for the IFRC in a number of areas. The Governing Board consists of the president and the vice presidents of the IFRC, the chairpersons of the Finance and Youth Commissions, and twenty elected representatives from national societies. The symbol of the IFRC is the combination of the Red Cross ( left ) and Red Crescent ( right ) on a white background surrounded by a red rectangular frame. Funding and financial matters ( edit ) The main parts of the budget of the IFRC are funded by contributions from the national societies which are members of the IFRC and through revenues from its investments. The exact amount of contributions from each member society is established by the Finance Commission and approved by the General Assembly. Any additional funding, especially for unforeseen expenses for relief assistance missions, is raised by `` appeals '' published by the IFRC and comes for voluntary donations by national societies, governments, other organizations, corporations, and individuals. National societies within the Movement ( edit ) Official recognition of a national society ( edit ) An ambulance owned by the Mexican Red Cross An Israeli stamp commemorating the 25th. anniversary of Magen David Adom, Date of issue 01.11. 1955 National Red Cross and Red Crescent societies exist in nearly every country in the world. Within their home country, they take on the duties and responsibilities of a national relief society as defined by International Humanitarian Law. Within the Movement, the ICRC is responsible for legally recognizing a relief society as an official national Red Cross or Red Crescent society. The exact rules for recognition are defined in the statutes of the Movement. Article 4 of these statutes contains the `` Conditions for recognition of National Societies. '' In order to be recognized in terms of Article 5, paragraph 2 b ) as a National Society, the Society shall meet the following conditions : Be constituted on the territory of an independent State where the Geneva Convention for the Amelioration of the Condition of the Wounded and Sick in Armed Forces in the Field is in force. Be the only National Red Cross and - or Red Crescent Society of the said State and be directed by a central body which shall alone be competent to represent it in its dealings with other components of the Movement. Be duly recognized by the legal government of its country on the basis of the Geneva Conventions and of the national legislation as a voluntary aid society, auxiliary to the public authorities in the humanitarian field. Have an autonomous status which allows it to operate in conformity with the Fundamental Principles of the Movement. Use the name and emblem of the Red Cross or Red Crescent in conformity with the Geneva Conventions. Be so organized as to be able to fulfill the tasks defined in its own statutes, including the preparation in peace time for its statutory tasks in case of armed conflict. Extend its activities to the entire territory of the State. Recruit its voluntary members and its staff without consideration of race, sex, class, religion or political opinions. Adhere to the present Statutes, share in the fellowship which unites the components of the Movement and co-operate with them. Respect the Fundamental Principles of the Movement and be guided in its work by the principles of international humanitarian law. Once a National Society has been recognized by the ICRC as a component of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement ( the Movement ), it is in principle admitted to the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies in accordance with the terms defined in the Constitution and Rules of Procedure of the International Federation. There are today 190 National Societies recognized within the Movement and which are members of the International Federation. The most recent National Societies to have been recognized within the Movement are the Maldives Red Crescent Society ( 9 November 2011 ), the Cyprus Red Cross Society and the South Sudan Red Cross Society ( 12 November 2013 ). Activities of national societies on a national and International stage ( edit ) Despite formal independence regarding its organizational structure and work, each national society is still bound by the laws of its home country. In many countries, national Red Cross and Red Crescent societies enjoy exceptional privileges due to agreements with their governments or specific `` Red Cross Laws '' granting full independence as required by the International Movement. The duties and responsibilities of a national society as defined by International Humanitarian Law and the statutes of the Movement include humanitarian aid in armed conflicts and emergency crises such as natural disasters through activities such as Restoring Family Links. Depending on their respective human, technical, financial, and organizational resources, many national societies take on additional humanitarian tasks within their home countries such as blood donation services or acting as civilian Emergency Medical Service ( EMS ) providers. The ICRC and the International Federation cooperate with the national societies in their international missions, especially with human, material, and financial resources and organizing on - site logistics. History of the emblems ( edit ) For more details on this topic, see Emblems of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. Emblems in use ( edit ) The Red Cross ( edit ) The flag of Switzerland is where the original Red Cross was derived from. The Red Cross emblem was officially approved in Geneva in 1863. The Red Cross flag is not to be confused with the Saint George 's Cross which is on the flag of England, Barcelona, Georgia, Freiburg im Breisgau, and several other places. In order to avoid this confusion the protected symbol is sometimes referred to as the `` Greek Red Cross '' ( now Hellenic Red Cross ) ; that term is also used in United States law to describe the Red Cross. The red cross of the Saint George cross extends to the edge of the flag, whereas the red cross on the Red Cross flag does not. The Red Cross flag is the colour - switched version of the Flag of Switzerland. In 1906, to put an end to the argument of the Ottoman Empire that the flag took its roots from Christianity, it was decided to promote officially the idea that the Red Cross flag had been formed by reversing the federal colours of Switzerland, although no clear evidence of this origin had ever been found. The Red Crescent ( edit ) Flag of the Ottoman Empire. This is where the original Red Crescent was derived from. The Red Crescent emblem was first used by ICRC volunteers during the armed conflict between the Ottoman Empire and Russia ( 1876 -- 1878 ). The symbol was officially adopted in 1929, and so far 33 states in the Muslim world have recognized it. In common with the official promotion of the red cross symbol as a colour reversal of the Swiss flag ( rather than a religious symbol ), the red crescent is similarly presented as being derived from a colour reversal of the flag of the Ottoman Empire. Nowadays, the Red Crescent symbol is used within a few Muslim countries including Turkey, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Malaysia, and Bangladesh. The Red Crystal ( edit ) International emblem for Magen David Adom outside Israel On 8 December 2005, in response to growing pressure to accommodate Magen David Adom ( MDA ), Israel 's national emergency medical, disaster, ambulance and blood bank service, as a full member of the Red Cross and Red Crescent movement, a new emblem ( officially the Third Protocol Emblem, but more commonly known as the Red Crystal ) was adopted by an amendment of the Geneva Conventions known as Protocol III. Recognized emblems in disuse ( edit ) The Red Lion and Sun ( edit ) The Red Lion and Sun Society of Iran was established in 1922 and admitted to the Red Cross and Red Crescent movement in 1923. However, some report the symbol was introduced at Geneva in 1864 as a counter example to the crescent and cross used by two of Iran 's rivals, the Ottoman and the Russian empires. Though that claim is inconsistent with the Red Crescent 's history, that history also suggests that the Red Lion and Sun, like the Red Crescent, may have been conceived during the 1877 -- 1878 war between Russia and Turkey. Due to the emblem 's association with the Iranian monarchy, the Islamic Republic of Iran replaced the Red Lion and Sun with the Red Crescent in 1980, consistent with two existing Red Cross and Red Crescent symbols. Though the Red Lion and Sun has now fallen into disuse, Iran has in the past reserved the right to take it up again at any time ; the Geneva Conventions continue to recognize it as an official emblem, and that status was confirmed by Protocol III in 2005 even as it added the Red Crystal. Unrecognized emblems ( edit ) The Red Star of David ( Magen David Adom ) ( edit ) A Magen David Adom worker in the Tel Aviv civil defense, 1939 For over 50 years, Israel requested the addition of a red Star of David, arguing that since Christian and Muslim emblems were recognized, the corresponding Jewish emblem should be as well. This emblem has been used by Magen David Adom ( MDA ), or Red Star of David, the national first - aid society of Israel of 1930, but it is not recognized by the Geneva Conventions as a protected symbol. The first use of the '' Magen David Adom '' was during the Anglo Boer War in South Africa ( 1899 - 1902 ) when it was used by the Ambulance Corps founded by Ben Zion Aaron in Johannesburg as a first aid corps to assist the Boer forces. Permission was given by President Paul Kruger of the South African Republic for the Star of David to be used as its insignia, rather than the conventional red cross. The Red Cross and Red Crescent movement repeatedly rejected Israel 's request over the years, stating that the Red Cross and Red Crescent emblems were not meant to represent Christianity and Islam but was colour reversals of the Swiss and the Ottoman flags, and also that if Jews ( or another group ) were to be given another emblem, there would be no end to the number of religious or other groups claiming an emblem for themselves. They reasoned that a proliferation of red symbols would detract from the original intention of the Red Cross emblem, which was to be a single emblem to mark vehicles and buildings protected on humanitarian grounds. Certain Arab nations, such as Syria, also protested against the entry of MDA into the Red Cross movement, making consensus impossible for a time. However, from 2000 to 2006 the American Red Cross withheld its dues ( a total of $42 million ) to the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies ( IFRC ) because of IFRC 's refusal to admit MDA ; this ultimately led to the creation of the Red Crystal emblem and the admission of MDA on June 22, 2006. The Red Star of David is not recognized as a protected symbol outside Israel ; instead the MDA uses the Red Crystal emblem during international operations in order to ensure protection. Depending on the circumstances, it may place the Red Star of David inside the Red Crystal, or use the Red Crystal alone. 1996 hostage crisis allegations ( edit ) The Australian TV network ABC and the indigenous rights group Friends of Peoples Close to Nature released a documentary called Blood on the Cross in 1999. It alleged the involvement of the Red Cross with the British and Indonesian military in a massacre in the Southern Highlands of West Papua during the World Wildlife Fund hostage crisis of May 1996, when Western and Indonesian activists were held hostage by separatists. Following the broadcast of the documentary, the Red Cross announced publicly that it would appoint an individual outside the organization to investigate the allegations made in the film and any responsibility on its part. Piotr Obuchowicz was appointed to investigate the matter. The report categorically states that the Red Cross personnel accused of involvement were proven not to have been present ; that a white helicopter was probably used in a military operation, but the helicopter was not a Red Cross helicopter, and must have been painted by one of several military organizations operating in the region at the time. Perhaps the Red Cross logo itself was also used, although no hard evidence was found for this ; that this was part of the military operation to free the hostages, but was clearly intended to achieve surprise by deceiving the local people into thinking that a Red Cross helicopter was landing ; and that the Red Cross should have responded more quickly and thoroughly to investigate the allegations than it did.

The park is being designed to open the three rivers to public access in a way that was impossible during Pittsburgh 's Industrial Age. Three Rivers Park offers continuous trails and green space along a more than 13 - mile waterfront loop. Contained within the project site boundaries are shorelines, public and private property, and several bridges. The Three Rivers Heritage Trail regional trail system runs through the park, as does the multi-state Great Allegheny Passage trail. The logo of Three Rivers Park is the outline shape of Fort Pitt, the 18th century outpost of the British Empire at the confluence of the Monongahela, Allegheny, and Ohio Rivers. The design aims to capture the historical significance of Pittsburgh, with added graphic elements of water and leaf shapes to acknowledge the region 's natural history. The logo appears on signage throughout Three Rivers Park and mile markers embedded in the trail which reference Point State Park 's fountain as Mile 0.

The winning firm chosen was Chan Krieger Sieniewicz of Cambridge, Massachusetts. Chan Krieger and Riverlife held dozens of public meetings to garner feedback from Pittsburgh citizens about the future of the riverfronts. The vision for Three Rivers Park was first unveiled in Riverlife 's 2001 `` A Vision Plan for Pittsburgh 's Riverfronts. '' The vision plan was accepted by the City of Pittsburgh.

{ "text": "Watts truce - wikipedia Watts truce The Watts truce was a 1992 peace agreement among rival street gangs in Los Angeles, California, declared in the neighborhood of Watts. The truce was declared in the days just before the 1992 Los Angeles riots, and although not universally adhered to, was a major component of the decline of street violence in the city during the 1990s, 2000s and 2010s. Contents ( hide ) 1 Background 2 1992 Truce 3 See also 4 References 5 External links Background ( edit ) The truce was influenced by the decision between two rival sets ( sub-groups ) within the extensive Crips gang to call a ceasefire. Many of the large American street gangs, such as the Crips and their primary rivals the Bloods, had formed in the late 1960s and the 1970s to fight each other, but by the 1980s disorganization and the growth of crack cocaine had led to infighting among sets within the gangs. By the early 1990s, after 20 years of increasing internecine gang warfare across public housing projects that saw peak crime rates in Los Angeles, gang members themselves began trying to stem the violence. 1992 truce ( edit ) In late April 1992, sets from Crips and Bloods in the Watts neighborhood in southern Los Angeles convened to negotiate peace. The Grape Street Crips from the Jordan Downs Projects, the P Jay Watts Crips from the Imperial Courts housing projects, and the Bounty Hunter Bloods from the Nickerson Gardens housing projects met in the Imperial Courts Project gym. Football legend and activist Jim Brown, and hip - hop artists of the West Coast Rap All - Stars, helped the rivals to negotiate their truce, and the factions would go on to draft a formal peace treaty modelled on a ceasefire 1949 Armistice Agreements reached between Israel and Egypt. Within days of the truce, despite the relative lawlessness caused by the 1992 Los Angeles riots, most of the African - American and Latino gangs in the city declared themselves at peace and there were no major flare ups in violence. The Watts truce is generally credited with contributing to the trend in declining street violence rates in Los Angeles.

The majority of states in the world have a unitary system of government. Of the 192 UN member states, 165 are governed as unitary states. In a unitary state, sub-national units are created and abolished ( an example being the 22 mainland regions of France being merged into 13 ), and their powers may be broadened and narrowed, by the central government. Although political power may be delegated through devolution to local governments by statute, the central government remains supreme ; it may abrogate the acts of devolved governments or curtail their powers. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is an example of a unitary state. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have a degree of autonomous devolved power, but such power is delegated by the Parliament of the United Kingdom, which may enact laws unilaterally altering or abolishing devolution ( England does not have any devolved power ). Many unitary states have no areas possessing a degree of autonomy. In such countries, sub-national regions can not decide their own laws. Examples are the Republic of Ireland and the Kingdom of Norway. In federal states, the sub-national governments share powers with the central government as equal actors through a written constitution, to which the consent of both is required to make amendments. This means that the sub-national units have a right of existence and powers that can not be unilaterally changed by the central government. Unitary states are contrasted with federations. An example of a federation is the United States of America. Under the U.S. Constitution, powers are shared between the federal government and the states. The Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution grants unenumerated powers to the states ; however, in practice, the federal government 's ability to deny funding of federal programs to non-compliant states is a powerful method of persuasion.

The battles were fought on April 19, 1775 in Middlesex County, Province of Massachusetts Bay, within the towns of Lexington, Concord, Lincoln, Menotomy ( present - day Arlington ), and Cambridge. They marked the outbreak of armed conflict between the Kingdom of Great Britain and its thirteen colonies in America. In late 1774, Colonial leaders adopted the Suffolk Resolves in resistance to the alterations made to the Massachusetts colonial government by the British parliament following the Boston Tea Party. The colonial assembly responded by forming a Patriot provisional government known as the Massachusetts Provincial Congress and calling for local militias to train for possible hostilities. The Colonial government exercised effective control of the colony outside of British - controlled Boston. In response, the British government in February 1775 declared Massachusetts to be in a state of rebellion. About 700 British Army regulars in Boston, under Lieutenant Colonel Francis Smith, were given secret orders to capture and destroy Colonial military supplies reportedly stored by the Massachusetts militia at Concord. Through effective intelligence gathering, Patriot leaders had received word weeks before the expedition that their supplies might be at risk and had moved most of them to other locations. On the night before the battle, warning of the British expedition had been rapidly sent from Boston to militias in the area by several riders, including Paul Revere and Samuel Prescott, with information about British plans. The initial mode of the Army 's arrival by water was signaled from the Old North Church in Boston to Charlestown using lanterns to communicate `` one if by land, two if by sea ''. The first shots were fired just as the sun was rising at Lexington. Eight militiamen were killed, including Ensign Robert Munroe, their third in command. The British suffered only one casualty. The militia were outnumbered and fell back, and the regulars proceeded on to Concord, where they broke apart into companies to search for the supplies. At the North Bridge in Concord, approximately 400 militiamen engaged 100 regulars from three companies of the King 's troops at about 11 : 00 am, resulting in casualties on both sides. The outnumbered regulars fell back from the bridge and rejoined the main body of British forces in Concord. The British forces began their return march to Boston after completing their search for military supplies, and more militiamen continued to arrive from neighboring towns. Gunfire erupted again between the two sides and continued throughout the day as the regulars marched back towards Boston. Upon returning to Lexington, Lt. Col. Smith 's expedition was rescued by reinforcements under Brigadier General Hugh Percy, a future duke of Northumberland styled at this time by the courtesy title Earl Percy. The combined force of about 1,700 men marched back to Boston under heavy fire in a tactical withdrawal and eventually reached the safety of Charlestown. The accumulated militias then blockaded the narrow land accesses to Charlestown and Boston, starting the Siege of Boston. Ralph Waldo Emerson describes the first shot fired by the Patriots at the North Bridge in his `` Concord Hymn '' as the `` shot heard round the world ''.

They had occupied Boston since 1768 and had been augmented by naval forces and marines to enforce what the colonists called The Intolerable Acts, which had been passed by the British Parliament to punish the Province of Massachusetts Bay for the Boston Tea Party and other acts of defiance. General Thomas Gage was the military governor of Massachusetts and commander - in - chief of the roughly 3,000 British military forces garrisoned in Boston. He had no control over Massachusetts outside of Boston, however, where implementation of the Acts had increased tensions between the Patriot Whig majority and the pro-British Tory minority. Gage 's plan was to avoid conflict by removing military supplies from Whig militias using small, secret, and rapid strikes. This struggle for supplies led to one British success and several Patriot successes in a series of nearly bloodless conflicts known as the Powder Alarms. Gage considered himself to be a friend of liberty and attempted to separate his duties as governor of the colony and as general of an occupying force. Edmund Burke described Gage 's conflicted relationship with Massachusetts by saying in Parliament, `` An Englishman is the unfittest person on Earth to argue another Englishman into slavery. '' The colonists had been forming militias since the very beginnings of Colonial settlement for the purpose of defense against Indian attacks. These forces also saw action in the French and Indian War between 1754 and 1763 when they fought alongside British regulars. Under the laws of each New England colony, all towns were obligated to form militia companies composed of all males 16 years of age and older ( there were exemptions for some categories ), and to ensure that the members were properly armed. The Massachusetts militias were formally under the jurisdiction of the provincial government, but militia companies throughout New England elected their own officers. Gage effectively dissolved the provincial government under the terms of the Massachusetts Government Act, and these existing connections were employed by the colonists under the Massachusetts Provincial Congress for the purpose of resistance to the military threat from Britain. British government preparations A February 1775 address to King George III, by both houses of Parliament, declared that a state of rebellion existed : We... find that a part of your Majesty ' s subjects, in the Province of the Massachusetts Bay, have proceeded so far to resist the authority of the supreme Legislature, that a rebellion at this time actually exists within the said Province ; and we see, with the utmost concern, that they have been countenanced and encouraged by unlawful combinations and engagements entered into by your Majesty 's subjects in several of the other Colonies, to the injury and oppression of many of their innocent fellow - subjects, resident within the Kingdom of Great Britain, and the rest of your Majesty ' s Dominions... We... shall... pay attention and regard to any real grievances... laid before us ; and whenever any of the Colonies shall make a proper application to us, we shall be ready to afford them every just and reasonable indulgence. At the same time we... beseech your Majesty that you will... enforce due obedience to the laws and authority of the supreme Legislature ; and... it is our fixed resolution, at the hazard of our lives and properties, to stand by your Majesty against all rebellious attempts in the maintenance of the just rights of your Majesty, and the two Houses of Parliament. On April 14, 1775, Gage received instructions from Secretary of State William Legge, Earl of Dartmouth, to disarm the rebels and to imprison the rebellion 's leaders, but Dartmouth gave Gage considerable discretion in his commands. Gage 's decision to act promptly may have been influenced by information he received on April 15, from a spy within the Provincial Congress, telling him that although the Congress was still divided on the need for armed resistance, delegates were being sent to the other New England colonies to see if they would cooperate in raising a New England army of 18,000 colonial soldiers. Francis Smith, commander of the military expedition, in a 1763 portrait On the morning of April 18, Gage ordered a mounted patrol of about 20 men under the command of Major Mitchell of the 5th Regiment of Foot into the surrounding country to intercept messengers who might be out on horseback. This patrol behaved differently from patrols sent out from Boston in the past, staying out after dark and asking travelers about the location of Samuel Adams and John Hancock. This had the unintended effect of alarming many residents and increasing their preparedness. The Lexington militia in particular began to muster early that evening, hours before receiving any word from Boston. A well - known story alleges that after nightfall one farmer, Josiah Nelson, mistook the British patrol for the colonists and asked them, `` Have you heard anything about when the regulars are coming out? '' upon which he was slashed on his scalp with a sword. However, the story of this incident was not published until over a century later, which suggests that it may be little more than a family myth. Lieutenant Colonel Francis Smith received orders from Gage on the afternoon of April 18 with instructions that he was not to read them until his troops were underway. He was to proceed from Boston `` with utmost expedition and secrecy to Concord, where you will seize and destroy... all Military stores... But you will take care that the soldiers do not plunder the inhabitants or hurt private property. '' Gage used his discretion and did not issue written orders for the arrest of rebel leaders, as he feared doing so might spark an uprising. American preparations Margaret Kemble Gage may have given military intelligence to the rebels. On March 30, 1775, the Massachusetts Provincial Congress issued the following resolution : Whenever the army under command of General Gage, or any part thereof to the number of five hundred, shall march out of the town of Boston, with artillery and baggage, it ought to be deemed a design to carry into execution by force the late acts of Parliament, the attempting of which, by the resolve of the late honourable Continental Congress, ought to be opposed ; and therefore the military force of the Province ought to be assembled, and an army of observation immediately formed, to act solely on the defensive so long as it can be justified on the principles of reason and self - preservation. The rebellion 's leaders -- with the exception of Paul Revere and Joseph Warren -- had all left Boston by April 8. They had received word of Dartmouth 's secret instructions to General Gage from sources in London well before they reached Gage himself. Adams and Hancock had fled Boston to the home of one of Hancock 's relatives in Lexington, where they thought they would be safe from the immediate threat of arrest. The Massachusetts militias had indeed been gathering a stock of weapons, powder, and supplies at Concord and much further west in Worcester. An expedition from Boston to Concord was widely anticipated. After a large contingent of regulars alarmed the countryside by an expedition from Boston to Watertown on March 30, The Pennsylvania Journal, a newspaper in Philadelphia, reported, `` It was supposed they were going to Concord, where the Provincial Congress is now sitting. A quantity of provisions and warlike stores are lodged there... It is... said they are intending to go out again soon. '' On April 18, Paul Revere began the `` midnight ride '' to Concord to warn the inhabitants that the British appeared to be planning an expedition. The ride was finished by Samuel Prescott. Upon hearing Prescott 's news, the townspeople decided to remove the stores and distribute them among other towns nearby. The colonists were also aware that April 19 would be the date of the expedition, despite Gage 's efforts to keep the details hidden from all the British rank and file and even from the officers who would command the mission. There is reasonable speculation that the confidential source of this intelligence was Margaret Gage, General Gage 's New Jersey - born wife, who had sympathies with the Colonial cause and a friendly relationship with Warren. Between 9 and 10 pm on the night of April 18, 1775, Joseph Warren told Revere and William Dawes that the British troops were about to embark in boats from Boston bound for Cambridge and the road to Lexington and Concord. Warren 's intelligence suggested that the most likely objectives of the regulars ' movements later that night would be the capture of Adams and Hancock. They did not worry about the possibility of regulars marching to Concord, since the supplies at Concord were safe, but they did think their leaders in Lexington were unaware of the potential danger that night. Revere and Dawes were sent out to warn them and to alert colonial militias in nearby towns. Militia forces assemble Further information : Minutemen Dawes covered the southern land route by horseback across Boston Neck and over the Great Bridge to Lexington. Revere first gave instructions to send a signal to Charlestown using lanterns hung in the steeple of Boston 's Old North Church. He then traveled the northern water route, crossing the mouth of the Charles River by rowboat, slipping past the British warship HMS Somerset at anchor. Crossings were banned at that hour, but Revere safely landed in Charlestown and rode west to Lexington, warning almost every house along the route. Additional riders were sent north from Charlestown. Silversmith Paul Revere and several other messengers on horseback sounded the alarm that the regulars were leaving Boston. After they arrived in Lexington, Revere, Dawes, Hancock, and Adams discussed the situation with the militia assembling there. They believed that the forces leaving the city were too large for the sole task of arresting two men and that Concord was the main target. The Lexington men dispatched riders to the surrounding towns, and Revere and Dawes continued along the road to Concord accompanied by Samuel Prescott. In Lincoln, they ran into the British patrol led by Major Mitchell. Revere was captured, Dawes was thrown from his horse, and only Prescott escaped to reach Concord. Additional riders were sent out from Concord. The ride of Revere, Dawes, and Prescott triggered a flexible system of `` alarm and muster '' that had been carefully developed months before, in reaction to the colonists ' impotent response to the Powder Alarm. This system was an improved version of an old notification network for use in times of emergency. The colonists had periodically used it during the early years of Indian wars in the colony, before it fell into disuse in the French and Indian War. In addition to other express riders delivering messages, bells, drums, alarm guns, bonfires and a trumpet were used for rapid communication from town to town, notifying the rebels in dozens of eastern Massachusetts villages that they should muster their militias because over 500 regulars were leaving Boston. This system was so effective that people in towns 25 miles ( 40 km ) from Boston were aware of the army 's movements while they were still unloading boats in Cambridge. These early warnings played a crucial role in assembling a sufficient number of colonial militia to inflict heavy damage on the British regulars later in the day. Adams and Hancock were eventually moved to safety, first to what is now Burlington and later to Billerica. A National Park Service map showing the routes of the initial Patriot messengers and of the British expedition British forces advance Around dusk, General Gage called a meeting of his senior officers at the Province House. He informed them that instructions from Lord Dartmouth had arrived, ordering him to take action against the colonials. He also told them that the senior colonel of his regiments, Lieutenant Colonel Smith, would command, with Major John Pitcairn as his executive officer. The meeting adjourned around 8 : 30 pm, after which Earl Percy mingled with town folk on Boston Common. According to one account, the discussion among people there turned to the unusual movement of the British soldiers in the town. When Percy questioned one man further, the man replied, `` Well, the regulars will miss their aim. '' `` What aim? '' asked Percy. `` Why, the cannon at Concord '' was the reply. Upon hearing this, Percy quickly returned to Province House and relayed this information to General Gage. Stunned, Gage issued orders to prevent messengers from getting out of Boston, but these were too late to prevent Dawes and Revere from leaving. 1775 map of the battles and of the Siege of Boston The British regulars, around 700 infantry, were drawn from 11 of Gage 's 13 occupying infantry regiments. Major Pitcairn commanded ten elite light infantry companies, and Lieutenant Colonel Benjamin Bernard commanded 11 grenadier companies, under the overall command of Lieutenant Colonel Smith. Of the troops assigned to the expedition, 350 were from grenadier companies drawn from the 4th ( King 's Own ), 5th, 10th, 18th ( Royal Irish ), 23rd, 38th, 43rd, 47th, 52nd and 59th Regiments of Foot, and the 1st Battalion of His Majesty 's Marine Forces. Protecting the grenadier companies were about 320 light infantry from the 4th, 5th, 10th, 23rd, 38th, 43rd, 47th, 52nd, and 59th Regiments, and the 1st Battalion of the Marines. Each company had its own lieutenant, but the majority of the captains commanding them were volunteers attached to them at the last minute, drawn from all the regiments stationed in Boston. This lack of familiarity between commander and company would cause problems during the battle. The British began to awaken their troops at 9 pm on the night of April 18 and assembled them on the water 's edge on the western end of Boston Common by 10 pm. Colonel Smith was late in arriving, and there was no organized boat - loading operation, resulting in confusion at the staging area. The boats used were naval barges that were packed so tightly that there was no room to sit down. When they disembarked near Phipps Farm in Cambridge, it was into waist - deep water at midnight. After a lengthy halt to unload their gear, the regulars began their 17 miles ( 27 km ) march to Concord at about 2 am. During the wait they were provided with extra ammunition, cold salt pork, and hard sea biscuits. They did not carry knapsacks, since they would not be encamped. They carried their haversacks ( food bags ), canteens, muskets, and accoutrements, and marched off in wet, muddy shoes and soggy uniforms. As they marched through Menotomy, sounds of the colonial alarms throughout the countryside caused the few officers who were aware of their mission to realize they had lost the element of surprise. At about 3 am, Colonel Smith sent Major Pitcairn ahead with six companies of light infantry under orders to quick march to Concord. At about 4 am Smith made the wise but belated decision to send a messenger back to Boston asking for reinforcements. The Battles Lexington BEP engraved vignette Battle of Lexington which appeared on the $20 National Bank Note Battle of Lexington, April 19, 1775, New York Public Library Although often styled a battle, in reality the engagement at Lexington was a minor brush or skirmish. As the regulars ' advance guard under Pitcairn entered Lexington at sunrise on April 19, 1775, about 80 Lexington militiamen emerged from Buckman Tavern and stood in ranks on the village common watching them, and between 40 and 100 spectators watched from along the side of the road. Their leader was Captain John Parker, a veteran of the French and Indian War, who was suffering from tuberculosis and was at times difficult to hear. Of the militiamen who lined up, nine had the surname Harrington, seven Munroe ( including the company 's orderly sergeant, William Munroe ), four Parker, three Tidd, three Locke, and three Reed ; fully one quarter of them were related to Captain Parker in some way. This group of militiamen was part of Lexington 's `` training band '', a way of organizing local militias dating back to the Puritans, and not what was styled a minuteman company. After having waited most of the night with no sign of any British troops ( and wondering if Paul Revere 's warning was true ), at about 4 : 15 a.m., Parker got his confirmation. Thaddeus Bowman, the last scout that Parker had sent out, rode up at a gallop and told him that they were not only coming, but coming in force and they were close. Captain Parker was clearly aware that he was outmatched in the confrontation and was not prepared to sacrifice his men for no purpose. He knew that most of the colonists ' powder and military supplies at Concord had already been hidden. No war had been declared. ( The Declaration of Independence was a year in the future. ) He also knew the British had gone on such expeditions before in Massachusetts, found nothing, and marched back to Boston. Parker had every reason to expect that to occur again. The Regulars would march to Concord, find nothing, and return to Boston, tired but empty - handed. He positioned his company carefully. He placed them in parade - ground formation, on Lexington Common. They were in plain sight ( not hiding behind walls ), but not blocking the road to Concord. They made a show of political and military determination, but no effort to prevent the march of the Regulars. Many years later, one of the participants recalled Parker 's words as being what is now engraved in stone at the site of the battle : `` Stand your ground ; do n't fire unless fired upon, but if they mean to have a war, let it begin here. '' According to Parker 's sworn deposition taken after the battle : I... ordered our Militia to meet on the Common in said Lexington to consult what to do, and concluded not to be discovered, nor meddle or make with said Regular Troops ( if they should approach ) unless they should insult or molest us ; and, upon their sudden Approach, I immediately ordered our Militia to disperse, and not to fire : -- Immediately said Troops made their appearance and rushed furiously, fired upon, and killed eight of our Party without receiving any Provocation therefor from us. -- John Parker Rather than turn left towards Concord, Marine Lieutenant Jesse Adair, at the head of the advance guard, decided on his own to protect the flank of the British column by first turning right and then leading the companies onto the Common itself, in a confused effort to surround and disarm the militia. Major Pitcairn arrived from the rear of the advance force and led his three companies to the left and halted them. The remaining companies under Colonel Smith lay further down the road toward Boston. First shot A British officer ( probably Pitcairn, but accounts are uncertain, as it may also have been Lieutenant William Sutherland ) then rode forward, waving his sword, and called out for the assembled militia to disperse, and may also have ordered them to `` lay down your arms, you damned rebels! '' Captain Parker told his men instead to disperse and go home, but, because of the confusion, the yelling all around, and due to the raspiness of Parker 's tubercular voice, some did not hear him, some left very slowly, and none laid down their arms. Both Parker and Pitcairn ordered their men to hold fire, but a shot was fired from an unknown source. The first of four engravings by Amos Doolittle from 1775. Doolittle visited the battle sites and interviewed soldiers and witnesses. Contains controversial elements, possibly inaccuracies. Fire from the militia may have occurred but is not depicted. ( A ) t 5 o'clock we arrived ( in Lexington ), and saw a number of people, I believe between 200 and 300, formed in a common in the middle of town ; we still continued advancing, keeping prepared against an attack though without intending to attack them ; but on our coming near them they fired on us two shots, upon which our men without any orders, rushed upon them, fired and put them to flight ; several of them were killed, we could not tell how many, because they were behind walls and into the woods. We had a man of the 10th light Infantry wounded, nobody else was hurt. We then formed on the Common, but with some difficulty, the men were so wild they could hear no orders ; we waited a considerable time there, and at length proceeded our way to Concord. -- Lieutenant John Barker, 4th Regiment of Foot According to one member of Parker 's militia, none of the Americans had discharged their muskets as they faced the oncoming British troops. The British did suffer one casualty, a slight wound, the particulars of which were corroborated by a deposition made by Corporal John Munroe. Munroe stated that : After the first fire of the regulars, I thought, and so stated to Ebenezer Munroe... who stood next to me on the left, that they had fired nothing but powder ; but on the second firing, Munroe stated they had fired something more than powder, for he had received a wound in his arm ; and now, said he, to use his own words, ' I 'll give them the guts of my gun. ' We then both took aim at the main body of British troops the smoke preventing our seeing anything but the heads of some of their horses and discharged our pieces. Some witnesses among the regulars reported the first shot was fired by a colonial onlooker from behind a hedge or around the corner of a tavern. Some observers reported a mounted British officer firing first. Both sides generally agreed that the initial shot did not come from the men on the ground immediately facing each other. Speculation arose later in Lexington that a man named Solomon Brown fired the first shot from inside the tavern or from behind a wall, but this has been discredited. Some witnesses ( on each side ) claimed that someone on the other side fired first ; however, many more witnesses claimed to not know. Yet another theory is that the first shot was one fired by the British, that killed Asahel Porter, their prisoner who was running away ( he had been told to walk away and he would be let go, though he panicked and began to run ). Historian David Hackett Fischer has proposed that there may actually have been multiple near - simultaneous shots. Historian Mark Urban claims the British surged forward with bayonets ready in an undisciplined way, provoking a few scattered shots from the militia. In response the British troops, without orders, fired a devastating volley. This lack of discipline among the British troops had a key role in the escalation of violence. Witnesses at the scene described several intermittent shots fired from both sides before the lines of regulars began to fire volleys without receiving orders to do so. A few of the militiamen believed at first that the regulars were only firing powder with no ball, but when they realized the truth, few if any of the militia managed to load and return fire. The rest ran for their lives. We Nathaniel Mulliken, Philip Russell, ( and 32 other men... ) do testify and declare, that on the nineteenth in the morning, being informed that... a body of regulars were marching from Boston towards Concord... About five o'clock in the morning, hearing our drum beat, we proceeded towards the parade, and soon found that a large body of troops were marching towards us, some of our company were coming to the parade, and others had reached it, at which time, the company began to disperse, whilst our backs were turned on the troops, we were fired on by them, and a number of our men were instantly killed and wounded, not a gun was fired by any person in our company on the regulars to our knowledge before they fired on us, and continued firing until we had all made our escape. The regulars then charged forward with bayonets. Captain Parker 's cousin Jonas was run through. Eight Lexington men were killed, and ten were wounded. The only British casualty was a soldier who was wounded in the thigh. The eight colonists killed were John Brown, Samuel Hadley, Caleb Harrington, Jonathon Harrington, Robert Munroe, Isaac Muzzey, Asahel Porter, and Jonas Parker. Jonathon Harrington, fatally wounded by a British musket ball, managed to crawl back to his home, and died on his own doorstep. One wounded man, Prince Estabrook, was a black slave who was serving in the militia. The companies under Pitcairn 's command got beyond their officers ' control in part because they were unaware of the actual purpose of the day 's mission. They fired in different directions and prepared to enter private homes. Colonel Smith, who was just arriving with the remainder of the regulars, heard the musket fire and rode forward from the grenadier column to see the action. He quickly found a drummer and ordered him to beat assembly. The grenadiers arrived shortly thereafter, and once order was restored among the soldiers, the light infantry were permitted to fire a victory volley, after which the column was reformed and marched on toward Concord. Concord The second of four engravings by Amos Doolittle from 1775, depicting the British entering Concord In response to the raised alarm, the militiamen of Concord and Lincoln had mustered in Concord. They received reports of firing at Lexington, and were not sure whether to wait until they could be reinforced by troops from towns nearby, or to stay and defend the town, or to move east and greet the British Army from superior terrain. A column of militia marched down the road toward Lexington to meet the British, traveling about 1.5 miles ( 2 km ) until they met the approaching column of regulars. As the regulars numbered about 700 and the militia at this time only numbered about 250, the militia column turned around and marched back into Concord, preceding the regulars by a distance of about 500 yards ( 457 m ). The militia retreated to a ridge overlooking the town, and their officers discussed what to do next. Caution prevailed, and Colonel James Barrett withdrew from the town of Concord and led the men across the North Bridge to a hill about a mile north of town, where they could continue to watch the troop movements of the British and the activities in the center of town. This step proved fortuitous, as the ranks of the militia continued to grow as minuteman companies arriving from the western towns joined them there. The search for militia supplies When the British troops arrived in the village of Concord, Lt. Col. Smith divided them to carry out Gage 's orders. The 10th Regiment 's company of grenadiers secured South Bridge under Captain Mundy Pole, while seven companies of light infantry under Captain Parsons, numbering about 100, secured the North Bridge, where they were visible across the cleared fields to the assembling militia companies. Captain Parsons took four companies from the 5th, 23rd, 38th and 52nd Regiments up the road 2 miles ( 3.2 km ) beyond the North Bridge to search Barrett 's Farm, where intelligence indicated supplies would be found. Two companies from the 4th and 10th Regiments were stationed to guard their return route, and one company from the 43rd remained guarding the bridge itself. These companies, which were under the relatively inexperienced command of Captain Walter Laurie, were aware that they were significantly outnumbered by the 400 - plus militiamen. The concerned Captain Laurie sent a messenger to Lt. Col. Smith requesting reinforcements. Using detailed information provided by Loyalist spies, the grenadier companies searched the small town for military supplies. When they arrived at Ephraim Jones 's tavern, by the jail on the South Bridge road, they found the door barred shut, and Jones refused them entry. According to reports provided by local Loyalists, Pitcairn knew cannon had been buried on the property. Jones was ordered at gunpoint to show where the guns were buried. These turned out to be three massive pieces, firing 24 - pound shot, that were much too heavy to use defensively, but very effective against fortifications, with sufficient range to bombard the city of Boston from other parts of nearby mainland. The grenadiers smashed the trunnions of these three guns so they could not be mounted. They also burned some gun carriages found in the village meetinghouse, and when the fire spread to the meetinghouse itself, local resident Martha Moulton persuaded the soldiers to help in a bucket brigade to save the building. Nearly a hundred barrels of flour and salted food were thrown into the millpond, as were 550 pounds of musket balls. Of the damage done, only that done to the cannon was significant. All of the shot and much of the food was recovered after the British left. During the search, the regulars were generally scrupulous in their treatment of the locals, including paying for food and drink consumed. This excessive politeness was used to advantage by the locals, who were able to misdirect searches from several smaller caches of militia supplies. Barrett 's Farm had been an arsenal weeks before, but few weapons remained now, and according to family legend, these were quickly buried in furrows to look like a crop had been planted. The troops sent there did not find any supplies of consequence. The North bridge The reconstructed North Bridge in Minute Man National Historical Park, Concord Colonel Barrett 's troops, upon seeing smoke rising from the village square as the British burned cannon carriages, and seeing only a few light infantry companies directly below them, decided to march back toward the town from their vantage point on Punkatasset Hill to a lower, closer flat hilltop about 300 yards ( 274 m ) from the North Bridge. As the militia advanced, the two British companies from the 4th and 10th Regiments that held the position near the road retreated to the bridge and yielded the hill to Barrett 's men. Five full companies of Minutemen and five more of militia from Acton, Concord, Bedford and Lincoln occupied this hill as more groups of men streamed in, totaling at least 400 against Captain Laurie 's light infantry companies, a force totaling 90 -- 95 men. Barrett ordered the Massachusetts men to form one long line two abreast on the highway leading down to the bridge, and then he called for another consultation. While overlooking North Bridge from the top of the hill, Barrett, Lt. Col. John Robinson of Westford and the other Captains discussed possible courses of action. Captain Isaac Davis of Acton, whose troops had arrived late, declared his willingness to defend a town not their own by saying, `` I 'm not afraid to go, and I have n't a man that 's afraid to go. '' Barrett told the men to load their weapons but not to fire unless fired upon, and then ordered them to advance. Laurie ordered the British companies guarding the bridge to retreat across it. One officer then tried to pull up the loose planks of the bridge to impede the colonial advance, but Major Buttrick began to yell at the regulars to stop harming the bridge. The Minutemen and militia from Concord, Acton and a handful of Westford Minutemen, advanced in column formation, two by two, led by Major Buttrick, Lt. Col. Robinson, then Capt. Davis, on the light infantry, keeping to the road, since it was surrounded by the spring floodwaters of the Concord River. The third of four engravings by Amos Doolittle from 1775, depicting the engagement at the North Bridge Captain Laurie then made a poor tactical decision. Since his summons for help had not produced any results, he ordered his men to form positions for `` street firing '' behind the bridge in a column running perpendicular to the river. This formation was appropriate for sending a large volume of fire into a narrow alley between the buildings of a city, but not for an open path behind a bridge. Confusion reigned as regulars retreating over the bridge tried to form up in the street - firing position of the other troops. Lieutenant Sutherland, who was in the rear of the formation, saw Laurie 's mistake and ordered flankers to be sent out. But as he was from a company different from the men under his command, only three soldiers obeyed him. The remainder tried as best they could in the confusion to follow the orders of the superior officer. A shot rang out. It was likely a warning shot fired by a panicked, exhausted British soldier from the 43rd, according to Captain Laurie 's report to his commander after the fight. Two other regulars then fired immediately after that, shots splashing in the river, and then the narrow group up front, possibly thinking the order to fire had been given, fired a ragged volley before Laurie could stop them. Two of the Acton Minutemen, Private Abner Hosmer and Captain Isaac Davis, who were at the head of the line marching to the bridge, were hit and killed instantly. Rev. Dr. Ripley recalled : The Americans commenced their march in double file... In a minute or two, the Americans being in quick motion and within ten or fifteen rods of the bridge, a single gun was fired by a British soldier, which marked the way, passing under Col. Robinson 's arm and slightly wounding the side of Luther Blanchard, a fifer, in the Acton Company. Four more men were wounded. Major Buttrick then yelled to the militia, `` Fire, for God 's sake, fellow soldiers, fire! '' At this point the lines were separated by the Concord River and the bridge, and were only 50 yards ( 46 m ) apart. The few front rows of colonists, bound by the road and blocked from forming a line of fire, managed to fire over each other 's heads and shoulders at the regulars massed across the bridge. Four of the eight British officers and sergeants, who were leading from the front of their troops, were wounded by the volley of musket fire. At least three privates ( Thomas Smith, Patrick Gray, and James Hall, all from the 4th ) were killed or mortally wounded, and nine were wounded. In 1824, Reverend and Minuteman Joseph Thaxter wrote : I was an eyewitness to the following facts. The people of Westford and Acton, some few of Concord, were the first who faced the British at Concord bridge. The British had placed about ninety men as a guard at the North Bridge ; we had then no certain information that any had been killed at Lexington, we saw the British making destruction in the town of Concord ; it was proposed to advance to the bridge ; on this Colonel Robinson, of Westford, together with Major Buttrick, took the lead ; strict orders were given not to fire, unless the British fired first ; when they advanced about halfway on the causeway the British fired one gun, a second, a third, and then the whole body ; they killed Colonel Davis, of Acton, and a Mr. Hosmer. Our people then fired over one another 's heads, being in a long column, two and two ; they killed two and wounded eleven. Lieutenant Hawkstone, said to be the greatest beauty of the British army, had his cheeks so badly wounded that it disfigured him much, of which he bitterly complained. On this, the British fled, and assembled on the hill, the north side of Concord, and dressed their wounded, and then began their retreat. As they descended the hill near the road that comes out from Bedford they were pursued ; Colonel Bridge, with a few men from Bedford and Chelmsford, came up, and killed several men. The regulars found themselves trapped in a situation where they were both outnumbered and outmaneuvered. Lacking effective leadership and terrified at the superior numbers of the enemy, with their spirit broken, and likely not having experienced combat before, they abandoned their wounded, and fled to the safety of the approaching grenadier companies coming from the town center, isolating Captain Parsons and the companies searching for arms at Barrett 's Farm. After the fight Statue memorializing the battle at the North Bridge, inscribed with verse from Emerson 's `` Concord Hymn '' The colonists were stunned by their success. No one had actually believed either side would shoot to kill the other. Some advanced ; many more retreated ; and some went home to see to the safety of their homes and families. Colonel Barrett eventually began to recover control. He moved some of the militia back to the hilltop 300 yards ( 274 m ) away and sent Major Buttrick with others across the bridge to a defensive position on a hill behind a stone wall. Lieutenant Colonel Smith heard the exchange of fire from his position in the town moments after he received the request for reinforcements from Laurie. He quickly assembled two companies of grenadiers to lead toward the North Bridge himself. As these troops marched, they met the shattered remnants of the three light infantry companies running towards them. Smith was concerned about the four companies that had been at Barrett 's, since their route to town was now unprotected. When he saw the Minutemen in the distance behind their wall, he halted his two companies and moved forward with only his officers to take a closer look. One of the Minutemen behind that wall observed, `` If we had fired, I believe we could have killed almost every officer there was in the front, but we had no orders to fire and there was n't a gun fired. '' During a tense standoff lasting about 10 minutes, a mentally ill local man named Elias Brown wandered through both sides selling hard cider. At this point, the detachment of regulars sent to Barrett 's farm marched back from their fruitless search of that area. They passed through the now mostly - deserted battlefield, and saw dead and wounded comrades lying on the bridge. There was one who looked to them as if he had been scalped, which angered and shocked the British soldiers. They crossed the bridge and returned to the town by 11 : 30 a.m., under the watchful eyes of the colonists, who continued to maintain defensive positions. The regulars continued to search for and destroy colonial military supplies in the town, ate lunch, reassembled for marching, and left Concord after noon. This delay in departure gave colonial militiamen from outlying towns additional time to reach the road back to Boston. Return march Concord to Lexington A National Park Service map showing the retreat from Concord and Percy 's rescue Lieutenant Colonel Smith, concerned about the safety of his men, sent flankers to follow a ridge and protect his forces from the roughly 1,000 colonials now in the field as the British marched east out of Concord. This ridge ended near Meriam 's Corner, a crossroads about a mile ( 2 km ) outside the village of Concord, where the main road came to a bridge across a small stream. To cross the narrow bridge, the British had to pull the flankers back into the main column and close ranks to a mere three soldiers abreast. Colonial militia companies arriving from the north and east had converged at this point, and presented a clear numerical advantage over the regulars. The British were now witnessing once again what General Gage had hoped to avoid by dispatching the expedition in secrecy and in the dark of night : the ability of the colonial militiamen to rise and converge by the thousands when British forces ventured out of Boston. As the last of the British column marched over the narrow bridge, the British rear guard wheeled and fired a volley at the colonial militiamen, who had been firing irregularly and ineffectively from a distance but now had closed to within musket range. The colonists returned fire, this time with deadly effect. Two regulars were killed and perhaps six wounded, with no colonial casualties. Smith sent out his flanking troops again after crossing the small bridge. On Brooks Hill ( also known as Hardy 's Hill ) about 1 mile ( 1.6 km ) past Meriam 's Corner, nearly 500 militiamen had assembled to the south of the road, awaiting opportunity to fire down upon the British column on the road below. Smith 's leading forces charged up the hill to drive them off, but the colonists did not withdraw, inflicting significant casualties on the attackers. Smith withdrew his men from Brooks Hill, and the column continued on to another small bridge into Lincoln, at Brooks Tavern, where more militia companies intensified the attack from the north side of the road. This statue known as The Lexington Minuteman is commonly believed to depict Captain John Parker. It is by Henry Hudson Kitson and stands at the town green of Lexington, Massachusetts. The regulars soon reached a point in the road now referred to as the `` Bloody Angle '' where the road rises and curves sharply to the left through a lightly - wooded area. At this place, the militia company from Woburn had positioned themselves on the southeast side of the bend in the road in a rocky, lightly - wooded field. Additional militia flowing parallel to the road from the engagement at Meriam 's Corner positioned themselves on the northwest side of the road, catching the British in a crossfire, while other militia companies on the road closed from behind to attack. Some 500 yards ( 460 m ) further along, the road took another sharp curve, this time to the right, and again the British column was caught by another large force of militiamen firing from both sides. In passing through these two sharp curves, the British force lost thirty soldiers killed or wounded, and four colonial militia were also killed, including Captain Jonathan Wilson of Bedford, Captain Nathan Wyman of Billerica, Lt. John Bacon of Natick, and Daniel Thompson of Woburn. The British soldiers escaped by breaking into a trot, a pace that the colonials could not maintain through the woods and swampy terrain. Colonial forces on the road itself behind the British were too densely packed and disorganized to mount more than a harassing attack from the rear. As militia forces from other towns continued to arrive, the colonial forces had risen to about 2,000 men. The road now straightened to the east, with cleared fields and orchards along the sides. Lt. Col. Smith sent out flankers again, who succeeded in trapping some militia from behind and inflicting casualties. British casualties were also mounting from these engagements and from persistent long - range fire from the militiamen, and the exhausted British were running out of ammunition. When the British column neared the boundary between Lincoln and Lexington, it encountered another ambush from a hill overlooking the road, set by Captain John Parker 's Lexington militiamen, including some of them bandaged up from the encounter in Lexington earlier in the day. At this point, Lt. Col. Smith was wounded in the thigh and knocked from his horse. Major John Pitcairn assumed effective command of the column and sent light infantry companies up the hill to clear the militia forces. The light infantry cleared two additional hills as the column continued east -- `` The Bluff '' and `` Fiske Hill '' -- and took still more casualties from ambushes set by fresh militia companies joining the battle. In one of the musket volleys from the colonial soldiers, Major Pitcairn 's horse bolted in fright, throwing Pitcairn to the ground and injuring his arm. Now both principal leaders of the expedition were injured or unhorsed, and their men were tired, thirsty, and exhausting their ammunition. A few surrendered or were captured ; some now broke formation and ran forward toward Lexington. In the words of one British officer, `` we began to run rather than retreat in order... We attempted to stop the men and form them two deep, but to no purpose, the confusion increased rather than lessened... the officers got to the front and presented their bayonets, and told the men if they advanced they should die. Upon this, they began to form up under heavy fire. '' Only one British officer remained uninjured among the three companies at the head of the British column as it approach Lexington Center. He understood the column 's perilous situation : `` There were very few men had any ammunition left, and so fatigued that we could not keep flanking parties out, so that we must soon have laid down our arms, or been picked off by the Rebels at their pleasure -- nearer to -- and we were not able to keep them off. '' He then heard cheering further ahead. A full brigade, about 1,000 men with artillery under the command of Earl Percy, had arrived to rescue them. It was about 2 : 30 p.m., and the British column had now been on the march since 2 o'clock in the morning. Westford Minuteman, Rev. Joseph Thaxter, wrote of his account : We pursued them and killed some ; when they got to Lexington, they were so close pursued and fatigued, that they must have soon surrendered, had not Lord Percy met them with a large reinforcement and two field - pieces. They fired them, but the balls went high over our heads. But no cannon ever did more execution, such stories of their effects had been spread by the tories through our troops, that from this time more wont back than pursed. We pursued to Charlestown Common, and then retired to Cambridge. When the army collected at Cambridge, Colonel Prescott with his regiment of minute men, and John Robinson, his Lieutenant Colonel, were prompt at being at their post. In their accounts afterward, British officers and soldiers alike noted their frustration that the colonial militiamen fired at them from behind trees and stone walls, rather than confronting them in large, linear formations in the style of European warfare. This image of the individual colonial farmer, musket in hand and fighting under his own command, has also been fostered in American myth : `` Chasing the red - coats down the lane / Then crossing the fields to emerge again / Under the trees at the turn of the road, / And only pausing to fire and load. '' To the contrary, beginning at the North Bridge and throughout the British retreat, the colonial militias repeatedly operated as coordinated companies, even when dispersed to take advantage of cover. Reflecting on the British experience that day, Earl Percy understood the significance of the American tactics : During the whole affair the Rebels attacked us in a very scattered, irregular manner, but with perseverance & resolution, nor did they ever dare to form into any regular body. Indeed, they knew too well what was proper, to do so. Whoever looks upon them as an irregular mob, will find himself much mistaken. They have men amongst them who know very well what they are about, having been employed as Rangers against the Indians & Canadians, & this country being much covered with wood, and hilly, is very advantageous for their method of fighting. Percy 's rescue The fourth of four engravings by Amos Doolittle from 1775, showing Percy 's rescue in Lexington General Gage had anticipated that Lt. Col. Smith 's expedition might require reinforcement, so Gage drafted orders for reinforcing units to assemble in Boston at 4 a.m. But in his obsession for secrecy, Gage had sent only one copy of the orders to the adjutant of the 1st Brigade, whose servant then left the envelope on a table. Also at about 4 a.m., the British column was within three miles of Lexington, and Lt. Col. Smith now had clear indication that all element of surprise had been lost and that alarm was spreading throughout the countryside. So he sent a rider back to Boston with a request for reinforcements. At about 5 a.m., the rider reached Boston, and the 1st Brigade was ordered to assemble : the line infantry companies of the 4th, 23rd, and 47th Regiments, and a battalion of Royal Marines, under the command of Earl Percy. Unfortunately for the British, once again only one copy of the orders were sent to each commander, and the order for the Royal Marines was delivered to the desk of Major John Pitcairn, who was already on the Lexington Common with Smith 's column at that hour. After these delays, Percy 's brigade, about 1,000 strong, left Boston at about 8 : 45 a.m., headed toward Lexington. Along the way, the story is told, they marched to the tune of `` Yankee Doodle '' to taunt the inhabitants of the area. By the Battle of Bunker Hill less than two months later, the song would become a popular anthem for the colonial forces. Percy took the land route across Boston Neck and over the Great Bridge, which some quick - thinking colonists had stripped of its planking to delay the British. His men then came upon an absent - minded tutor at Harvard College and asked him which road would take them to Lexington. The Harvard man, apparently oblivious to the reality of what was happening around him, showed him the proper road without thinking. ( He was later compelled to leave the country for inadvertently supporting the enemy. ) Percy 's troops arrived in Lexington at about 2 : 00 p.m. They could hear gunfire in the distance as they set up their cannon and deployed lines of regulars on high ground with commanding views of the town. Colonel Smith 's men approached like a fleeing mob with the full complement of colonial militia in close formation pursuing them. Percy ordered his artillery to open fire at extreme range, dispersing the colonial militiamen. Smith 's men collapsed with exhaustion once they reached the safety of Percy 's lines. Against the advice of his Master of Ordnance, Percy had left Boston without spare ammunition for his men or for the two artillery pieces they brought with them, thinking the extra wagons would slow him down. Each man in Percy 's brigade had only 36 rounds, and each artillery piece was supplied with only a few rounds carried in side - boxes. After Percy had left the city, Gage directed two ammunition wagons guarded by one officer and thirteen men to follow. This convoy was intercepted by a small party of older, veteran militiamen still on the `` alarm list, '' who could not join their militia companies because they were well over 60 years of age. These men rose up in ambush and demanded the surrender of the wagons, but the regulars ignored them and drove their horses on. The old men opened fire, shot the lead horses, killed two sergeants, and wounded the officer. The British survivors ran, and six of them threw their weapons into a pond before they surrendered. Lexington to Menotomy Percy 's return to Charlestown ( detail from 1775 map of the battle ) Percy assumed control of the combined forces of about 1,700 men and let them rest, eat, drink, and have their wounds tended at field headquarters ( Munroe Tavern ) before resuming the march. They set out from Lexington at about 3 : 30 p.m., in a formation that emphasized defense along the sides and rear of the column. Wounded regulars rode on the cannon and were forced to hop off when they were fired at by gatherings of militia. Percy 's men were often surrounded, but they had the tactical advantage of interior lines. Percy could shift his units more easily to where they were needed, while the colonial militia were required to move around the outside of his formation. Percy placed Smith 's men in the middle of the column, while the 23rd Regiment 's line companies made up the column 's rear guard. Because of information provided by Smith and Pitcairn about how the Americans were attacking, Percy ordered the rear guard to be rotated every mile or so, to allow some of his troops to rest briefly. Flanking companies were sent to both sides of the road, and a powerful force of Marines acted as the vanguard to clear the road ahead. During the respite at Lexington, Brigadier General William Heath arrived and took command of the militia. Earlier in the day, he had traveled first to Watertown to discuss tactics with Joseph Warren, who had left Boston that morning, and other members of the Massachusetts Committee of Safety. Heath and Warren reacted to Percy 's artillery and flankers by ordering the militiamen to avoid close formations that would attract cannon fire. Instead, they surrounded Percy 's marching square with a moving ring of skirmishers at a distance to inflict maximum casualties at minimum risk. A few mounted militiamen on the road would dismount, fire muskets at the approaching regulars, then remount and gallop ahead to repeat the tactic. Unmounted militia would often fire from long range, in the hope of hitting somebody in the main column of soldiers on the road and surviving, since both British and colonials used muskets with an effective combat range of about 50 yards ( 46 m ). Infantry units would apply pressure to the sides of the British column. When it moved out of range, those units would move around and forward to re-engage the column further down the road. Heath sent messengers out to intercept arriving militia units, directing them to appropriate places along the road to engage the regulars. Some towns sent supply wagons to assist in feeding and rearming the militia. Heath and Warren did lead skirmishers in small actions into battle themselves, but it was the presence of effective leadership that probably had the greatest impact on the success of these tactics. Percy wrote of the colonial tactics, `` The rebels attacked us in a very scattered, irregular manner, but with perseverance and resolution, nor did they ever dare to form into any regular body. Indeed, they knew too well what was proper, to do so. Whoever looks upon them as an irregular mob, will find himself very much mistaken. '' The Jason Russell House in Arlington The fighting grew more intense as Percy 's forces crossed from Lexington into Menotomy. Fresh militia poured gunfire into the British ranks from a distance, and individual homeowners began to fight from their own property. Some homes were also used as sniper positions, turning the situation into a soldier 's nightmare : house - to - house fighting. Jason Russell pleaded for his friends to fight alongside him to defend his house by saying, `` An Englishman 's home is his castle. '' He stayed and was killed in his doorway. His friends, depending on which account is to be believed, either hid in the cellar, or died in the house from bullets and bayonets after shooting at the soldiers who followed them in. The Jason Russell House still stands and contains bullet holes from this fight. A militia unit that attempted an ambush from Russell 's orchard was caught by flankers, and eleven men were killed, some allegedly after they had surrendered. Percy lost control of his men, and British soldiers began to commit atrocities to repay for the supposed scalping at the North Bridge and for their own casualties at the hands of a distant, often unseen enemy. Based on the word of Pitcairn and other wounded officers from Smith 's command, Percy had learned that the Minutemen were using stone walls, trees and buildings in these more thickly settled towns closer to Boston to hide behind and shoot at the column. He ordered the flank companies to clear the colonial militiamen out of such places. Many of the junior officers in the flank parties had difficulty stopping their exhausted, enraged men from killing everyone they found inside these buildings. For example, two innocent drunks who refused to hide in the basement of a tavern in Menotomy were killed only because they were suspected of being involved with the day 's events. Although many of the accounts of ransacking and burnings were exaggerated later by the colonists for propaganda value ( and to get financial compensation from the colonial government ), it is certainly true that taverns along the road were ransacked and the liquor stolen by the troops, who in some cases became drunk themselves. One church 's communion silver was stolen but was later recovered after it was sold in Boston. Aged Menotomy resident Samuel Whittemore killed three regulars before he was attacked by a British contingent and left for dead. ( He recovered from his wounds and later died in 1793 at age 98. ) All told, far more blood was shed in Menotomy and Cambridge than elsewhere that day. The colonists lost 25 men killed and nine wounded there, and the British lost 40 killed and 80 wounded, with the 47th Foot and the Marines suffering the highest casualties. Each was about half the day 's fatalities. Menotomy to Charlestown The British troops crossed the Menotomy River ( today known as Alewife Brook ) into Cambridge, and the fight grew more intense. Fresh militia arrived in close array instead of in a scattered formation, and Percy used his two artillery pieces and flankers at a crossroads called Watson 's Corner to inflict heavy damage on them. Earlier in the day, Heath had ordered the Great Bridge to be dismantled. Percy 's brigade was about to approach the broken - down bridge and a riverbank filled with militia when Percy directed his troops down a narrow track ( now Beech Street, near present - day Porter Square ) and onto the road to Charlestown. The militia ( now numbering about 4,000 ) were unprepared for this movement, and the circle of fire was broken. An American force moved to occupy Prospect Hill ( in modern - day Somerville ), which dominated the road, but Percy moved his cannon to the front and dispersed them with his last rounds of ammunition. A large militia force arrived from Salem and Marblehead. They might have cut off Percy 's route to Charlestown, but these men halted on nearby Winter Hill and allowed the British to escape. Some accused the commander of this force, Colonel Timothy Pickering, of permitting the troops to pass because he still hoped to avoid war by preventing a total defeat of the regulars. Pickering later claimed that he had stopped on Heath 's orders, but Heath denied this. It was nearly dark when Pitcairn 's Marines defended a final attack on Percy 's rear as they entered Charlestown. The regulars took up strong positions on the hills of Charlestown. Some of them had been without sleep for two days and had marched 40 miles ( 64 km ) in 21 hours, eight hours of which had been spent under fire. But now they held high ground protected by heavy guns from HMS Somerset. Gage quickly sent over line companies of two fresh regiments -- the 10th and 64th -- to occupy the high ground in Charlestown and build fortifications. Although they were begun, the fortifications were never completed and would later be a starting point for the militia works built two months later in June before the Battle of Bunker Hill. General Heath studied the position of the British Army and decided to withdraw the militia to Cambridge. Aftermath The Siege of Boston 1775 -- 1776 In the morning, Boston was surrounded by a huge militia army, numbering over 15,000, which had marched from throughout New England. Unlike the Powder Alarm, the rumors of spilled blood were true, and the Revolutionary War had begun. Now under the leadership of General Artemas Ward, who arrived on the 20th and replaced Brigadier General William Heath, they formed a siege line extending from Chelsea, around the peninsulas of Boston and Charlestown, to Roxbury, effectively surrounding Boston on three sides. In the days immediately following, the size of the colonial forces grew, as militias from New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Connecticut arrived on the scene. The Second Continental Congress adopted these men into the beginnings of the Continental Army. Even now, after open warfare had started, Gage still refused to impose martial law in Boston. He persuaded the town 's selectmen to surrender all private weapons in return for promising that any inhabitant could leave town. The battle was not a major one in terms of tactics or casualties. However, in terms of supporting the British political strategy behind the Intolerable Acts and the military strategy behind the Powder Alarms, the battle was a significant failure because the expedition contributed to the fighting it was intended to prevent, and because few weapons were actually seized. The battle was followed by a war for British political opinion. Within four days of the battle, the Massachusetts Provincial Congress had collected scores of sworn testimonies from militiamen and from British prisoners. When word leaked out a week after the battle that Gage was sending his official description of events to London, the Provincial Congress sent a packet of these detailed depositions, signed by over 100 participants in the events, on a faster ship. The documents were presented to a sympathetic official and printed by the London newspapers two weeks before Gage 's report arrived. Gage 's official report was too vague on particulars to influence anyone 's opinion. George Germain, no friend of the colonists, wrote, `` the Bostonians are in the right to make the King 's troops the aggressors and claim a victory. '' Politicians in London tended to blame Gage for the conflict instead of their own policies and instructions. The British troops in Boston variously blamed General Gage and Colonel Smith for the failures at Lexington and Concord. The day after the battle, John Adams left his home in Braintree to ride along the battlefields. He became convinced that `` the Die was cast, the Rubicon crossed. '' Thomas Paine in Philadelphia had previously thought of the argument between the colonies and the Home Country as `` a kind of law - suit '', but after news of the battle reached him, he `` rejected the hardened, sullen - tempered Pharaoh of England forever. '' George Washington received the news at Mount Vernon and wrote to a friend, `` the once - happy and peaceful plains of America are either to be drenched in blood or inhabited by slaves. Sad alternative! But can a virtuous man hesitate in his choice? '' A group of hunters on the frontier named their campsite Lexington when they heard news of the battle in June. It eventually became the city of Lexington, Kentucky. Legacy Gravemarkers along Battle Road in Lexington are maintained with Britain 's 1775 version of the Union Flag. It was important to the early American government that an image of British fault and American innocence be maintained for this first battle of the war. The history of Patriot preparations, intelligence, warning signals, and uncertainty about the first shot was rarely discussed in the public sphere for decades. The story of the wounded British soldier at the North Bridge, hors de combat, struck down on the head by a Minuteman using a hatchet, the purported `` scalping '', was strongly suppressed. Depositions mentioning some of these activities were not published and were returned to the participants ( this notably happened to Paul Revere ). Paintings portrayed the Lexington fight as an unjustified slaughter. The issue of which side was to blame grew during the early nineteenth century. For example, older participants ' testimony in later life about Lexington and Concord differed greatly from their depositions taken under oath in 1775. All now said the British fired first at Lexington, whereas fifty or so years before, they were n't sure. All now said they fired back, but in 1775, they said few were able to. The `` Battle '' took on an almost mythical quality in the American consciousness. Legend became more important than truth. A complete shift occurred, and the Patriots were portrayed as actively fighting for their cause, rather than as suffering innocents. Paintings of the Lexington skirmish began to portray the militia standing and fighting back in defiance. Ralph Waldo Emerson immortalized the events at the North Bridge in his 1837 `` Concord Hymn ''. The `` Concord Hymn '' became important because it commemorated the beginning of the American Revolution, and that for much of the 19th century it was a means by which Americans learned about the Revolution, helping to forge the identity of the nation. After 1860, several generations of schoolchildren memorized Henry Wadsworth Longfellow 's poem `` Paul Revere 's Ride ''. Historically it is inaccurate ( for example, Paul Revere never made it to Concord ), but it captures the idea that an individual can change the course of history. By the rude bridge that arched the flood Their flag to April 's breeze unfurled Here once the embattled farmers stood And fired the shot heard round the world. -- First verse of Emerson 's `` Concord Hymn '' In the 20th century, popular and historical opinion varied about the events of the historic day, often reflecting the political mood of the time. Isolationist anti-war sentiments before the World Wars bred skepticism about the nature of Paul Revere 's contribution ( if any ) to the efforts to rouse the militia. Anglophilia in the United States after the turn of the twentieth century led to more balanced approaches to the history of the battle. During World War I, a film about Paul Revere 's ride was seized under the Espionage Act of 1917 for promoting discord between the United States and Britain. During the Cold War, Revere was used not only as a patriotic symbol, but also as a capitalist one. In 1961, novelist Howard Fast published April Morning, an account of the battle from a fictional 15 - year - old 's perspective, and reading of the book has been frequently assigned in American secondary schools. A film version was produced for television in 1987, starring Chad Lowe and Tommy Lee Jones. In the 1990s, parallels were drawn between American tactics in the Vietnam War and those of the British Army at Lexington and Concord. The site of the battle in Lexington is now known as the Lexington Battle Green, has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and is a National Historic Landmark. Several memorials commemorating the battle have been established there. The lands surrounding the North Bridge in Concord, as well as approximately 5 miles ( 8.0 km ) of the road along with surrounding lands and period buildings between Meriam 's Corner and western Lexington are part of Minuteman National Historical Park. There are walking trails with interpretive displays along routes that the colonists might have used that skirted the road, and the Park Service often has personnel ( usually dressed in period dress ) offering descriptions of the area and explanations of the events of the day. A bronze bas relief of Major Buttrick, designed by Daniel Chester French and executed by Edmond Thomas Quinn in 1915, is in the park, along with French 's Minute Man statue. The American Battlefield Trust and its partners have saved one acre of the battlefield at the site of Parker 's Revenge. Four current units of the Massachusetts National Guard units ( 181st Infantry, 182nd Infantry, 101st Engineer Battalion, and 125th Quartermaster Company ) are derived from American units that participated in the Battles of Lexington and Concord. There are only thirty current units of the U.S. Army with colonial roots. Several ships of the United States Navy, including two World War II aircraft carriers, were named in honor of the Battle of Lexington. Commemorations Daniel Chester French 's Minute Man Patriots ' Day, an observed legal holiday is celebrated annually in honor of the battle in Massachusetts. It is recognized by that state, as well as by Connecticut, Maine, and by the Wisconsin public schools, on the third Monday in April. Re-enactments of Paul Revere 's ride are staged, as are the battle on the Lexington Green, and ceremonies and firings are held at the North Bridge. Centennial commemoration On April 19, 1875, President Ulysses S. Grant and members of his cabinet joined 50,000 people to mark the 100th anniversary of the battles. The sculpture by Daniel Chester French, The Minute Man, located at the North Bridge, was unveiled on that day. A formal ball took place in the evening at the Agricultural Hall in Concord. Sesquicentennial commemoration In April 1925 the United States Post Office issued three stamps commemorating the 150th anniversary of the Battles at Lexington and Concord. The Lexington -- Concord commemorative stamps were the first of many commemoratives issued to honor the 150th anniversaries of events that surrounded America 's War of Independence. The three stamps were first placed on sale in Washington, D.C. and in five Massachusetts cities and towns that played major roles in the Lexington and Concord story : Lexington, Concord, Boston, Cambridge, and Concord Junction ( as West Concord was then known ). This is not to say that other locations were not involved in the battles. Washington at Cambridge Shot heard round the World Birth of Liberty, by Henry Sandham The Minute Man by Daniel Chester French Issues of 1925 Bicentennial commemoration 1970 Franklin Mint medallion commemorating Lexington and Concord 1775 The Town of Concord invited 700 prominent U.S. citizens and leaders from the worlds of government, the military, the diplomatic corps, the arts, sciences, and humanities to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the battles. On April 19, 1975, as a crowd estimated at 110,000 gathered to view a parade and celebrate the Bicentennial in Concord, President Gerald Ford delivered a major speech near the North Bridge, which was televised to the nation. Freedom was nourished in American soil because the principles of the Declaration of Independence flourished in our land. These principles, when enunciated 200 years ago, were a dream, not a reality. Today, they are real. Equality has matured in America. Our inalienable rights have become even more sacred. There is no government in our land without consent of the governed. Many other lands have freely accepted the principles of liberty and freedom in the Declaration of Independence and fashioned their own independent republics. It is these principles, freely taken and freely shared, that have revolutionized the world. The volley fired here at Concord two centuries ago, ' the shot heard round the world ', still echoes today on this anniversary. -- President Gerald R. Ford President Ford laid a wreath at the base of The Minute Man statue and then respectfully observed as Sir Peter Ramsbotham, the British Ambassador to the United States, laid a wreath at the grave of British soldiers killed in the battle.

See also American Revolutionary War portal Philadelphia portal List of American Revolutionary War battles Notes ^ Jump up to : The exact number of militia on the Lexington common when the clash occurred is a matter of debate. Coburn, p. 165 -- 67, identifies 77 individuals by name who mustered for the encounter, but he also notes that no official roll was ever submitted to the Provincial Congress. Fischer, pp. 400, 183, cites contemporaneous accounts and those of other historians that put the number between 50 and 70 militia, but notes that Sylvanus Wood, in an account taken 50 years later, recalled only counting 38 militia. Jump up ^ Chidsey, p. 29, estimates the colonial force at 500 by the time the confrontation occurred at the North Bridge. Coburn, pp. 80 -- 81, counts about 300 specifically, plus several uncounted companies. Jump up ^ The peak strength of militias that massed around the British column on April 19 is uncertain. Many of the militiamen who joined the battle at various locations during the day continued to follow the British column all the way to Charlestown, but some also dropped out and returned home. Coburn located muster rolls for 79 militia and minute companies engaged that day, listing 3,960 officers and soldiers in all. But there are no tallies for six of these companies, and some units known to be present during the day ( such as the Lincoln militia company ) are not included at all. Jump up ^ Chidsey, p. 6. This is the total size of Smith 's force. Jump up ^ Coburn, p. 64. This force is six light infantry companies under Pitcairn. Jump up ^ Coburn, p. 77 and other sources indicate `` three companies ''. Chidsey, p. 28 gives a company size `` nominally of 28 ''. Jump up ^ Coburn, p. 114 gives the size of Percy 's force at 1,000. This count reflects that estimate plus the departing strength, less casualties. ^ Jump up to : Chidsey, p. 47, cites all casualty figures except missing - in - action. Coburn, pp. 156 -- 59, cites by town and name the American losses, and by company the British losses, including missing - in - action ( from Gage 's report ). Chidsey, Coburn, and Fischer disagree on some American counts : Chidsey and Fischer count 39 wounded, Coburn says 42. Fischer, pp. 320 -- 21, also records 50 American killed - in - action, in contrast to Chidsey and Coburn 's 49. Jump up ^ French, pp. 2, 272 - 273. A controversial interpretation holds that the Battle of Point Pleasant on October 10, 1774 in what is now West Virginia was the initial military engagement of the Revolutionary War, and a 1908 United States Senate resolution designating it as such. However, few historians subscribe to this interpretation, even in West Virginia. ( 1 ) Jump up ^ `` Captain Parker 's Company of Militia ''. The Lexington Minute Men. Retrieved 2018 - 04 - 12.

Jump up ^ Both the British and the local militias were armed with smooth - bore muskets that had an effective range of aimed fire of only 80 - 100 yards ( 75 - 90 m ), although the musket ball could have serious effect at a greater distance, if it happened by chance to hit a person. There is no record that any soldiers on either side were armed with longer - range, more accurate rifles. Dr. Benjamin Church, a member of the Massachusetts Provincial Congress and the Committee of Safety, informed General Gage in March, 1775, that the colonial militiamen `` from their adroitness in the habitual use of the firelock suppose themselves sure of their mark at a distance of 200 rods. '' Even if Church meant yards rather than rods ( 600 feet versus 3300 feet ), it is unclear whether he was profoundly ignorant of the capabilities of a musket, was exaggerating in order to mislead Gage ( as Church later claimed when accused of being a spy ), or was ridiculing the American militiamen.

However, there is no evidence that the term Bloody Angle was ever used by the battle participants or local residents following April 19, 1775, nor did historians use the term prior to the mid-20th century.

{ "text": "Cold War - wikipedia Cold War This article is about the state of political tension from 1947 -- 1991. For the current state of political tension, see Cold War II. For other uses, see Cold War ( disambiguation ). `` Cold warrior '' redirects here. For other uses, see Cold warrior ( disambiguation ). The Cold War ( 1947 -- 1991 ) East German construction workers building the Berlin Wall, 1961 ; The Apollo -- Soyuz Test Project crew, 1975 ; Shootdown of Korean Air Lines Flight 007 on 1 September 1983, one of the tensest moments of the Cold War ; During the Cold War, the US conducted around 1,054 nuclear tests by official count, between 1945 and 1992 ; The fall of the Berlin Wall, 1989 ; Tanks in Red Square during the August Coup, four months before the USSR collapse, 1991. The Cold War was a state of geopolitical tension after World War II between powers in the Eastern Bloc ( the Soviet Union and its satellite states ) and powers in the Western Bloc ( the United States, its NATO allies and others ). Historians do not fully agree on the dates, but a common timeframe is the period between 1947, the year the Truman Doctrine, a U.S. foreign policy pledging to aid nations threatened by Soviet expansionism, was announced, and either 1989, when communism fell in Eastern Europe, or 1991, when the Soviet Union collapsed. The term `` cold '' is used because there was no large - scale fighting directly between the two sides, but they each supported major regional wars known as proxy wars. The Cold War split the temporary wartime alliance against Nazi Germany, leaving the Soviet Union and the United States as two superpowers with profound economic and political differences. The USSR was a Marxist -- Leninist state led by its Communist Party, which in turn was dominated by a leader with different titles over time, and a small committee called the Politburo. The Party controlled the press, the military, the economy and many organizations. It also controlled the other states in the Eastern Bloc, and funded Communist parties around the world, sometimes in competition with Communist China, particularly following the Sino - Soviet split of the 1960s. In opposition stood the capitalist West, led by the United States, a federal republic with a two - party presidential system. The First World nations of the Western Bloc were generally liberal democratic with a free press and independent organizations, but were economically and politically entwined with a network of banana republics and other authoritarian regimes throughout the Third World, most of which were the Western Bloc 's former colonies. Some major Cold War frontlines such as Vietnam, Indonesia, and the Congo were still Western colonies in 1947. A neutral bloc arose with the Non-Aligned Movement, which sought good relations with both sides. The two superpowers never engaged directly in full - scale armed combat, but they were heavily armed in preparation for a possible all - out nuclear world war. Each side had a nuclear strategy that discouraged an attack by the other side, on the basis that such an attack would lead to the total destruction of the attacker -- the doctrine of mutually assured destruction ( MAD ). Aside from the development of the two sides ' nuclear arsenals, and their deployment of conventional military forces, the struggle for dominance was expressed via proxy wars around the globe, psychological warfare, massive propaganda campaigns and espionage, far - reaching embargos, rivalry at sports events, and technological competitions such as the Space Race. The first phase of the Cold War began in the first two years after the end of the Second World War in 1945. The USSR consolidated its control over the states of the Eastern Bloc, while the United States began a strategy of global containment to challenge Soviet power, extending military and financial aid to the countries of Western Europe ( for example, supporting the anti-communist side in the Greek Civil War ) and creating the NATO alliance. The Berlin Blockade ( 1948 -- 49 ) was the first major crisis of the Cold War. With the victory of the communist side in the Chinese Civil War and the outbreak of the Korean War ( 1950 -- 53 ), the conflict expanded. The USSR and the USA competed for influence in Latin America and the decolonizing states of Africa and Asia. The Hungarian Revolution of 1956 was stopped by the Soviets. The expansion and escalation sparked more crises, such as the Suez Crisis ( 1956 ), the Berlin Crisis of 1961, and the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962. Meanwhile, an international peace movement took root and grew among citizens around the world, first in Japan from 1954, when people became concerned about nuclear weapons testing, but soon also in Europe and the US. The peace movement, and in particular the anti-nuclear movement, gained pace and popularity from the late 1950s and early 1960s, and continued to grow through the ' 70s and ' 80s with large protest marches, demonstrations and various non-parliamentary activism opposing war and calling for global nuclear disarmament. Following the Cuban Missile Crisis, a new phase began that saw the Sino - Soviet split complicate relations within the communist sphere, while US allies, particularly France, demonstrated greater independence of action. The USSR crushed the 1968 Prague Spring liberalization program in Czechoslovakia, and the Vietnam War ( 1955 -- 75 ) ended with the defeat of the US - backed Republic of Vietnam, prompting further adjustments. By the 1970s, both sides had become interested in making allowances in order to create a more stable and predictable international system, ushering in a period of détente that saw Strategic Arms Limitation Talks and the US opening relations with the People 's Republic of China as a strategic counterweight to the Soviet Union. Détente collapsed at the end of the decade with the beginning of the Soviet -- Afghan War in 1979. The early 1980s were another period of elevated tension, with the Soviet downing of Korean Air Lines Flight 007 ( 1983 ), and the `` Able Archer '' NATO military exercises ( 1983 ). The United States increased diplomatic, military, and economic pressures on the Soviet Union, at a time when the communist state was already suffering from economic stagnation. On 12 June 1982, a million protesters gathered in Central Park, New York to call for an end to the Cold War arms race and nuclear weapons in particular. In the mid-1980s, the new Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev introduced the liberalizing reforms of perestroika ( `` reorganization '', 1987 ) and glasnost ( `` openness '', c. 1985 ) and ended Soviet involvement in Afghanistan. Pressures for national independence grew stronger in Eastern Europe, especially Poland. Gorbachev meanwhile refused to use Soviet troops to bolster the faltering Warsaw Pact regimes as had occurred in the past. The result in 1989 was a wave of revolutions that peacefully ( with the exception of the Romanian Revolution ) overthrew all of the communist regimes of Central and Eastern Europe. The Communist Party of the Soviet Union itself lost control and was banned following an abortive coup attempt in August 1991. This in turn led to the formal dissolution of the USSR in December 1991 and the collapse of communist regimes in other countries such as Mongolia, Cambodia and South Yemen. The United States remained as the world 's only superpower. The Cold War and its events have left a significant legacy. It is often referred to in popular culture, especially in media featuring themes of espionage ( notably the internationally successful James Bond book and film franchise ) and the threat of nuclear warfare. Meanwhile, a renewed state of tension between the Soviet Union 's successor state, Russia, and the United States in the 2010s ( including its Western allies ) has been referred to as the Second Cold War.

Contemplating a world living in the shadow of the threat of nuclear warfare, Orwell looked at James Burnham 's predictions of a polarized world, writing : Looking at the world as a whole, the drift for many decades has been not towards anarchy but towards the reimposition of slavery... James Burnham 's theory has been much discussed, but few people have yet considered its ideological implications -- that is, the kind of world - view, the kind of beliefs, and the social structure that would probably prevail in a state which was at once unconquerable and in a permanent state of `` cold war '' with its neighbours. In The Observer of 10 March 1946, Orwell wrote, `` after the Moscow conference last December, Russia began to make a ' cold war ' on Britain and the British Empire. '' The first use of the term to describe the specific post-war geopolitical confrontation between the USSR and the United States came in a speech by Bernard Baruch, an influential advisor to Democratic presidents, on 16 April 1947. The speech, written by journalist Herbert Bayard Swope, proclaimed, `` Let us not be deceived : we are today in the midst of a cold war. '' Newspaper columnist Walter Lippmann gave the term wide currency with his book The Cold War ; when asked in 1947 about the source of the term, Lippmann traced it to a French term from the 1930s, la guerre froide. Background Main article : Origins of the Cold War Russian Revolution Allied troops in Vladivostok, August 1918, during the Allied intervention in the Russian Civil War. While most historians trace its origins to the period immediately following World War II, others argue that it began with the October Revolution in Russia in 1917 when the Bolsheviks took power. In 1919 Lenin stated that his new state was surrounded by a `` hostile capitalist encirclement '', and he viewed diplomacy as a weapon that should be used in order to keep the Soviet Union 's enemies divided, beginning with the establishment of the Communist International, which called for revolutionary upheavals abroad. Historian Max Beloff argues that the Soviets saw `` no prospect of permanent peace '', with the 1922 Soviet Constitution proclaiming : Since the time of the formation of the soviet republics, the states of the world have divided into two camps : the camp of capitalism and the camp of socialism. There - in the camp of capitalism - national enmity and inequality, colonial slavery, and chauvinism, national oppression and pogroms, imperialist brutalities and wars. Here - in the camp of socialism - mutual confidence and peace, national freedom and equality, a dwelling together in peace and the brotherly collaboration of peoples. According to British historian Christopher Sutton : In what some have called the First Cold War, from Britain 's intervention in the Russian Civil War in 1918 to its uneasy alliance with the Soviet Union against the Axis powers in 1941, British distrust of the revolutionary and regicidal Bolsheviks resulted in domestic, foreign, and colonial policies aimed at resisting the spread of communism. This conflict after 1945 took on new battlefields, new weapons, new players, and a greater intensity, but it was still fundamentally a conflict against Soviet imperialism ( real and imagined ). The idea of long - term continuity is a minority scholarly view that has been challenged. Frank Ninkovich writes : As for the two cold wars thesis, the chief problem is that the two periods are incommensurable. To be sure, they were joined together by enduring ideological hostility, but in the post-World War I years Bolshevism was not a geopolitical menace. After World War II, in contrast, the Soviet Union was a superpower that combined ideological antagonism with the kind of geopolitical threat posed by Germany and Japan in the Second World War. Even with more amicable relations in the 1920s, it is conceivable that post-1945 relations would have turned out much the same. Beginnings of World War II After signing the Molotov -- Ribbentrop Pact and German -- Soviet Frontier Treaty, the Soviet Union forced the Baltic countries -- Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania -- to allow it to station Soviet troops in their countries under pacts of `` mutual assistance ''. Finland rejected territorial demands, prompting a Soviet invasion in November 1939. The resulting Winter War ended in March 1940 with Finnish concessions. Britain and France, treating the Soviet attack on Finland as tantamount to its entering the war on the side of the Germans, responded to the Soviet invasion by supporting the USSR 's expulsion from the League of Nations. In June 1940, the Soviet Union forcibly annexed Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, and the disputed Romanian regions of Bessarabia, Northern Bukovina and Hertza. But after the German Army invaded the Soviet Union in June 1941 and the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor in December 1941, the Soviet Union and the Allied powers formed an alliance of convenience. Britain signed a formal alliance and the United States made an informal agreement. In wartime, the United States supplied Britain, the Soviet Union and other Allied nations through its Lend - Lease Program. However, Stalin remained highly suspicious and he believed that the British and the Americans had conspired to ensure that the Soviets bore the brunt of the fighting against Nazi Germany. According to this view, the Western Allies had deliberately delayed opening a second anti-German front in order to step in at the last minute and shape the peace settlement. Thus, Soviet perceptions of the West left a strong undercurrent of tension and hostility between the Allied powers. End of World War II ( 1945 -- 1947 ) Wartime CONFERENCES regarding post-war Europe Further information : Tehran Conference and Yalta Conference The `` Big Three '' at the Yalta Conference : Winston Churchill, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Joseph Stalin, 1945. The Allies disagreed about how the European map should look, and how borders would be drawn, following the war. Each side held dissimilar ideas regarding the establishment and maintenance of post-war security. Some scholars contend that all the Western Allies desired a security system in which democratic governments were established as widely as possible, permitting countries to peacefully resolve differences through international organizations. Others note that the Atlantic powers were divided in their vision of the new post-war world. Roosevelt 's goals -- military victory in both Europe and Asia, the achievement of global American economic supremacy over the British Empire, and the creation of a world peace organization -- were more global than Churchill 's, which were mainly centered on securing control over the Mediterranean, ensuring the survival of the British Empire, and the independence of Central and Eastern European countries as a buffer between the Soviets and the United Kingdom. The Soviet Union sought to dominate the internal affairs of countries that bordered it. During the war, Stalin had created special training centers for communists from different countries so that they could set up secret police forces loyal to Moscow as soon as the Red Army took control. Soviet agents took control of the media, especially radio ; they quickly harassed and then banned all independent civic institutions, from youth groups to schools, churches and rival political parties. Stalin also sought continued peace with Britain and the United States, hoping to focus on internal reconstruction and economic growth. In the American view, Stalin seemed a potential ally in accomplishing their goals, whereas in the British approach Stalin appeared as the greatest threat to the fulfillment of their agenda. With the Soviets already occupying most of Central and Eastern Europe, Stalin was at an advantage and the two western leaders vied for his favors. The differences between Roosevelt and Churchill led to several separate deals with the Soviets. In October 1944, Churchill traveled to Moscow and proposed the `` percentages agreement '' to divide the Balkans into respective spheres of influence, including giving Stalin predominance over Romania and Bulgaria and Churchill carte blanche over Greece. At the Yalta Conference of February 1945, Roosevelt signed a separate deal with Stalin in regard of Asia and refused to support Churchill on the issues of Poland and the Reparations. Roosevelt ultimately approved the percentage agreement, but there was still apparently no firm consensus on the framework for a post-war settlement in Europe. Post-war Allied occupation zones in Germany. At the Second Quebec Conference, a high - level military conference held in Quebec City, 12 -- 16 September 1944, Churchill and Roosevelt reached agreement on a number of matters, including a plan for Germany, based on Henry Morgenthau Jr. 's original proposal. The memorandum drafted by Churchill provided for `` eliminating the warmaking industries in the Ruhr and the Saar... looking forward to converting Germany into a country primarily agricultural and pastoral in its character. '' However, it no longer included a plan to partition the country into several independent states. On 10 May 1945, President Truman signed the U.S. occupation directive JCS 1067. The directive, which was in effect for over two years, and was enthusiastically supported by Stalin, directed the U.S. forces of occupation to ``... take no steps looking toward the economic rehabilitation of Germany ''. Some historians have argued that the Cold War began when the US negotiated a separate peace with Nazi SS General Karl Wolff in northern Italy. The Soviet Union was not allowed to participate and the dispute led to heated correspondence between Franklin Roosevelt and Stalin. General Wolff, a war criminal, appears to have been guaranteed immunity at the Nuremberg trials by Office of Strategic Services ( OSS ) commander ( and later CIA director ) Allen Dulles when they met in March 1945. Wolff and his forces were being considered to help implement Operation Unthinkable, a secret plan to invade the Soviet Union which Winston Churchill advocated during this period. In April 1945, President Roosevelt died and was succeeded by Harry S. Truman, who distrusted Stalin and turned for advice to an elite group of foreign policy intellectuals. Both Churchill and Truman opposed, among other things, the Soviets ' decision to prop up the Lublin government, the Soviet - controlled rival to the Polish government - in - exile in London, whose relations with the Soviets had been severed. Following the Allies ' May 1945 victory, the Soviets effectively occupied Central and Eastern Europe, while strong US and Western allied forces remained in Western Europe. In Germany and Austria, France, Britain, the Soviet Union and the United States established zones of occupation and a loose framework for parceled four - power control. The 1945 Allied conference in San Francisco established the multi-national United Nations ( UN ) for the maintenance of world peace, but the enforcement capacity of its Security Council was effectively paralyzed by individual members ' ability to use veto power. Accordingly, the UN was essentially converted into an inactive forum for exchanging polemical rhetoric, and the Soviets regarded it almost exclusively as a propaganda tribune. Potsdam Conference and surrender of Japan Main articles : Potsdam Conference and Surrender of Japan Clement Attlee, Harry S. Truman and Joseph Stalin at the Potsdam Conference, 1945. At the Potsdam Conference, which started in late July after Germany 's surrender, serious differences emerged over the future development of Germany and the rest of Central and Eastern Europe. Moreover, the participants ' mounting antipathy and bellicose language served to confirm their suspicions about each other 's hostile intentions and entrench their positions. At this conference Truman informed Stalin that the United States possessed a powerful new weapon. Stalin was aware that the Americans were working on the atomic bomb and, given that the Soviets ' own rival program was in place, he reacted to the news calmly. The Soviet leader said he was pleased by the news and expressed the hope that the weapon would be used against Japan. One week after the end of the Potsdam Conference, the US bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Shortly after the attacks, Stalin protested to US officials when Truman offered the Soviets little real influence in occupied Japan. Beginnings of the Eastern Bloc Main article : Eastern Bloc Further information : Post -- World War II economic expansion Post-war territorial changes in Europe and the formation of the Eastern Bloc, the so - called ' Iron Curtain '. During the opening stages of World War II, the Soviet Union laid the foundation for the Eastern Bloc by invading and then annexing several countries as Soviet Socialist Republics, by agreement with Nazi Germany in the Molotov -- Ribbentrop Pact. These included eastern Poland ( incorporated into the Byelorussian SSR and the Ukrainian SSR ), Latvia ( which became the Latvian SSR ), Estonia ( which became the Estonian SSR ), Lithuania ( which became the Lithuanian SSR ), part of eastern Finland ( which became the Karelo - Finnish SSR ) and eastern Romania ( which became the Moldavian SSR ). The Central and Eastern European territories liberated from the Nazis and occupied by the Soviet armed forces were added to the Eastern Bloc by converting them into satellite states, such as : People 's Republic of Albania ( 11 January 1946 ) People 's Republic of Bulgaria ( 15 September 1946 ) Polish People 's Republic ( 19 January 1947 ) People 's Republic of Romania ( 13 April 1948 ) Czechoslovak Socialist Republic ( 9 May 1948 ) Hungarian People 's Republic ( 20 August 1949 ) German Democratic Republic ( 7 October 1949 ) The Soviet - style regimes that arose in the Bloc not only reproduced Soviet command economies, but also adopted the brutal methods employed by Joseph Stalin and the Soviet secret police in order to suppress both real and potential opposition. In Asia, the Red Army had overrun Manchuria in the last month of the war, and it went on to occupy the large swathe of Korean territory located north of the 38th parallel. As part of consolidating Stalin 's control over the Eastern Bloc, the People 's Commissariat for Internal Affairs ( NKVD ), led by Lavrentiy Beriya, supervised the establishment of Soviet - style secret police systems in the Bloc that were supposed to crush anti-communist resistance. When the slightest stirrings of independence emerged in the Bloc, Stalin 's strategy matched that of dealing with domestic pre-war rivals : they were removed from power, put on trial, imprisoned, and in several instances, executed. British Prime Minister Winston Churchill was concerned that, given the enormous size of Soviet forces deployed in Europe at the end of the war, and the perception that Soviet leader Joseph Stalin was unreliable, there existed a Soviet threat to Western Europe. After World War II, US officials guided Western European leaders in establishing their own secret security force to prevent subversion in the Western bloc, which evolved into Operation Gladio. Preparing for a `` new War '' Further information : X Article § The Long Telegram, Iron Curtain, and Restatement of Policy on Germany Remains of the `` iron curtain '' in Czech Republic. In February 1946, George F. Kennan 's `` Long Telegram '' from Moscow helped to articulate the US government 's increasingly hard line against the Soviets, and became the basis for US strategy toward the Soviet Union for the duration of the Cold War. That September, the Soviet side produced the Novikov telegram, sent by the Soviet ambassador to the US but commissioned and `` co-authored '' by Vyacheslav Molotov ; it portrayed the US as being in the grip of monopoly capitalists who were building up military capability `` to prepare the conditions for winning world supremacy in a new war ''. On 6 September 1946, James F. Byrnes delivered a speech in Germany repudiating the Morgenthau Plan ( a proposal to partition and de-industrialize post-war Germany ) and warning the Soviets that the US intended to maintain a military presence in Europe indefinitely. As Byrnes admitted a month later, `` The nub of our program was to win the German people... it was a battle between us and Russia over minds... '' A few weeks after the release of this `` Long Telegram '', former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill delivered his famous `` Iron Curtain '' speech in Fulton, Missouri. The speech called for an Anglo - American alliance against the Soviets, whom he accused of establishing an `` iron curtain '' from `` Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic ''. Only a week later, on 13 March Stalin responded vigorously to the speech, saying that Churchill could be compared to Hitler insofar as he advocated the racial superiority of English - speaking nations so that they could satisfy their hunger for world domination, and that such a declaration was `` a call for war on the U.S.S.R. '' The Soviet leader also dismissed the accusation that the USSR was exerting increasing control over the countries lying in its sphere. He argued that there was nothing surprising in `` the fact that the Soviet Union, anxious for its future safety, ( was ) trying to see to it that governments loyal in their attitude to the Soviet Union should exist in these countries ''. 1 Beginnings of the Cold War ( 1947 -- 1953 ) Main article : Cold War ( 1947 -- 1953 ) Containment and the Truman Doctrine Main articles : Containment and Truman Doctrine European military alliances European economic alliances By 1947, US president Harry S. Truman was outraged by the Soviet Union 's perceived resistance to American demands in Iran, Turkey and Greece, as well as their rejection of the Baruch Plan on nuclear weapons. In February 1947, the British government announced that it could no longer afford to finance the Kingdom of Greece in its civil war against Communist - led insurgents. The US government 's response to this announcement was the adoption of containment, the goal of which was to stop the spread of Communism. Truman delivered a speech that called for the allocation of $400 million to intervene in the war and unveiled the Truman Doctrine, which framed the conflict as a contest between free peoples and totalitarian regimes. American policymakers accused the Soviet Union of conspiring against the Greek royalists in an effort to expand Soviet influence even though Stalin had told the Communist Party to cooperate with the British - backed government. ( The insurgents were helped by Josip Broz Tito 's Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia against Stalin 's wishes. ) Enunciation of the Truman Doctrine marked the beginning of a US bipartisan defense and foreign policy consensus between Republicans and Democrats focused on containment and deterrence that weakened during and after the Vietnam War, but ultimately persisted thereafter. Moderate and conservative parties in Europe, as well as social democrats, gave virtually unconditional support to the Western alliance, while European and American Communists, financed by the KGB and involved in its intelligence operations, adhered to Moscow 's line, although dissent began to appear after 1956. Other critiques of the consensus policy came from anti-Vietnam War activists, the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament and the anti-nuclear movement. Marshall Plan and czechoslovak coup d'état Main articles : Marshall Plan, Western Bloc, and 1948 Czechoslovak coup d'état The labeling used on Marshall Plan aid to Western Europe ; Map of Cold - War era Europe and the Near East showing countries that received Marshall Plan aid. The red columns show the relative amount of total aid received per nation ; Construction in West Berlin under Marshall Plan aid. In early 1947, France, Britain and the United States unsuccessfully attempted to reach an agreement with the Soviet Union for a plan envisioning an economically self - sufficient Germany, including a detailed accounting of the industrial plants, goods and infrastructure already removed by the Soviets. In June 1947, in accordance with the Truman Doctrine, the United States enacted the Marshall Plan, a pledge of economic assistance for all European countries willing to participate, including the Soviet Union. Under the plan, which President Harry S. Truman signed on 3 April 1948, the US government gave to Western European countries over $13 billion ( equivalent to $189.39 billion in 2016 ) to rebuild the economy of Europe. Later, the program led to the creation of the Organisation for European Economic Co-operation. The plan 's aim was to rebuild the democratic and economic systems of Europe and to counter perceived threats to Europe 's balance of power, such as communist parties seizing control through revolutions or elections. The plan also stated that European prosperity was contingent upon German economic recovery. One month later, Truman signed the National Security Act of 1947, creating a unified Department of Defense, the Central Intelligence Agency ( CIA ), and the National Security Council ( NSC ). These would become the main bureaucracies for US policy in the Cold War. Stalin believed that economic integration with the West would allow Eastern Bloc countries to escape Soviet control, and that the US was trying to buy a pro-US re-alignment of Europe. Stalin therefore prevented Eastern Bloc nations from receiving Marshall Plan aid. The Soviet Union 's alternative to the Marshall Plan, which was purported to involve Soviet subsidies and trade with central and eastern Europe, became known as the Molotov Plan ( later institutionalized in January 1949 as the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance ). Stalin was also fearful of a reconstituted Germany ; his vision of a post-war Germany did not include the ability to rearm or pose any kind of threat to the Soviet Union. In early 1948, following reports of strengthening `` reactionary elements '', Soviet operatives executed a coup d'état in Czechoslovakia, the only Eastern Bloc state that the Soviets had permitted to retain democratic structures. The public brutality of the coup shocked Western powers more than any event up to that point, set in a motion a brief scare that war would occur and swept away the last vestiges of opposition to the Marshall Plan in the United States Congress. The twin policies of the Truman Doctrine and the Marshall Plan led to billions in economic and military aid for Western Europe, Greece, and Turkey. With the US assistance, the Greek military won its civil war. Under the leadership of Alcide De Gasperi the Italian Christian Democrats defeated the powerful Communist - Socialist alliance in the elections of 1948. At the same time there was increased intelligence and espionage activity, Eastern Bloc defections and diplomatic expulsions. Cominform and the Tito -- Stalin split Main articles : Cominform and Tito -- Stalin Split In September 1947, the Soviets created Cominform, the purpose of which was to enforce orthodoxy within the international communist movement and tighten political control over Soviet satellites through coordination of communist parties in the Eastern Bloc. Cominform faced an embarrassing setback the following June, when the Tito -- Stalin Split obliged its members to expel Yugoslavia, which remained communist but adopted a non-aligned position. Berlin Blockade and airlift Main article : Berlin Blockade C - 47s unloading at Tempelhof Airport in Berlin during the Berlin Blockade. The United States and Britain merged their western German occupation zones into `` Bizonia '' ( 1 January 1947, later `` Trizonia '' with the addition of France 's zone, April 1949 ). As part of the economic rebuilding of Germany, in early 1948, representatives of a number of Western European governments and the United States announced an agreement for a merger of western German areas into a federal governmental system. In addition, in accordance with the Marshall Plan, they began to re-industrialize and rebuild the German economy, including the introduction of a new Deutsche Mark currency to replace the old Reichsmark currency that the Soviets had debased. Shortly thereafter, Stalin instituted the Berlin Blockade ( 24 June 1948 -- 12 May 1949 ), one of the first major crises of the Cold War, preventing food, materials and supplies from arriving in West Berlin. The United States, Britain, France, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and several other countries began the massive `` Berlin airlift '', supplying West Berlin with food and other provisions. The Soviets mounted a public relations campaign against the policy change. Once again the East Berlin communists attempted to disrupt the Berlin municipal elections ( as they had done in the 1946 elections ), which were held on 5 December 1948 and produced a turnout of 86.3 % and an overwhelming victory for the non-communist parties. The results effectively divided the city into East and West versions of its former self. 300,000 Berliners demonstrated and urged the international airlift to continue, and US Air Force pilot Gail Halvorsen created `` Operation Vittles '', which supplied candy to German children. In May 1949, Stalin backed down and lifted the blockade. In 1952, Stalin repeatedly proposed a plan to unify East and West Germany under a single government chosen in elections supervised by the United Nations if the new Germany were to stay out of Western military alliances, but this proposal was turned down by the Western powers. Some sources dispute the sincerity of the proposal. Beginnings of NATO and Radio Free Europe Main articles : NATO, Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty, and Eastern Bloc media and propaganda President Truman signs the North Atlantic Treaty with guests in the Oval Office. Britain, France, the United States, Canada and other eight western European countries signed the North Atlantic Treaty of April 1949, establishing the North Atlantic Treaty Organization ( NATO ). That August, the first Soviet atomic device was detonated in Semipalatinsk, Kazakh SSR. Following Soviet refusals to participate in a German rebuilding effort set forth by western European countries in 1948, the US, Britain and France spearheaded the establishment of West Germany from the three Western zones of occupation in April 1949. The Soviet Union proclaimed its zone of occupation in Germany the German Democratic Republic that October. Media in the Eastern Bloc was an organ of the state, completely reliant on and subservient to the communist party, with radio and television organizations being state - owned, while print media was usually owned by political organizations, mostly by the local communist party. Soviet propaganda used Marxist philosophy to attack capitalism, claiming labor exploitation and war - mongering imperialism were inherent in the system. Along with the broadcasts of the British Broadcasting Corporation ( BBC ) and the Voice of America to Central and Eastern Europe, a major propaganda effort begun in 1949 was Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty, dedicated to bringing about the peaceful demise of the communist system in the Eastern Bloc. Radio Free Europe attempted to achieve these goals by serving as a surrogate home radio station, an alternative to the controlled and party - dominated domestic press. Radio Free Europe was a product of some of the most prominent architects of America 's early Cold War strategy, especially those who believed that the Cold War would eventually be fought by political rather than military means, such as George F. Kennan. American policymakers, including Kennan and John Foster Dulles, acknowledged that the Cold War was in its essence a war of ideas. The United States, acting through the CIA, funded a long list of projects to counter the communist appeal among intellectuals in Europe and the developing world. The CIA also covertly sponsored a domestic propaganda campaign called Crusade for Freedom. In the early 1950s, the US worked for the rearmament of West Germany and, in 1955, secured its full membership of NATO. In May 1953, Beria, by then in a government post, had made an unsuccessful proposal to allow the reunification of a neutral Germany to prevent West Germany 's incorporation into NATO. Chinese Civil War and SEATO Main articles : Chinese Civil War and Southeast Asia Treaty Organization Mao Zedong and Joseph Stalin in Moscow, December 1949. In 1949, Mao Zedong 's People 's Liberation Army defeated Chiang Kai - shek 's United States - backed Kuomintang ( KMT ) Nationalist Government in China, and the Soviet Union promptly created an alliance with the newly formed People 's Republic of China. According to Norwegian historian Odd Arne Westad, the communists won the Civil War because they made fewer military mistakes than Chiang Kai - Shek made, and because in his search for a powerful centralized government, Chiang antagonized too many interest groups in China. Moreover, his party was weakened during the war against Japan. Meanwhile, the communists told different groups, such as the peasants, exactly what they wanted to hear, and they cloaked themselves under the cover of Chinese nationalism. Chiang and his KMT government retreated to the island of Taiwan. Confronted with the communist revolution in China and the end of the American atomic monopoly in 1949, the Truman administration quickly moved to escalate and expand its containment policy. In NSC 68, a secret 1950 document, the National Security Council proposed to reinforce pro-Western alliance systems and quadruple spending on defense. United States officials moved thereafter to expand containment into Asia, Africa, and Latin America, in order to counter revolutionary nationalist movements, often led by communist parties financed by the USSR, fighting against the restoration of Europe 's colonial empires in South - East Asia and elsewhere. In the early 1950s ( a period sometimes known as the `` Pactomania '' ), the US formalized a series of alliances with Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Thailand and the Philippines ( notably ANZUS in 1951 and SEATO in 1954 ), thereby guaranteeing the United States a number of long - term military bases. Korean War Main article : Korean War U.S. Marines engaged in street fighting during the liberation of Seoul, September 1950. One of the more significant examples of the implementation of containment was US intervention in the Korean War. In June 1950, Kim Il - sung 's North Korean People 's Army invaded South Korea. Stalin approved and sent advisers to plan the North Korean invasion. To Stalin 's surprise, the UN Security Council backed the defense of South Korea, though the Soviets were then boycotting meetings in protest that Taiwan and not Communist China held a permanent seat on the Council. A UN force of personnel from South Korea, the United States, the United Kingdom, Turkey, Canada, Colombia, Australia, France, South Africa, the Philippines, the Netherlands, Belgium, New Zealand and other countries joined to stop the invasion. General Douglas MacArthur, UN Command CiC ( seated ), observes the naval shelling of Incheon from the USS Mt. McKinley, 15 September 1950. Among other effects, the Korean War galvanised NATO to develop a military structure. Public opinion in countries involved, such as Great Britain, was divided for and against the war. Many feared an escalation into a general war with Communist China, and even nuclear war. The strong opposition to the war often strained Anglo - American relations. For these reasons British officials sought a speedy end to the conflict, hoping to unite Korea under United Nations auspices and withdrawal of all foreign forces. Even though the Chinese and North Koreans were exhausted by the war and were prepared to end it by late 1952, Stalin insisted that they continue fighting, and the Armistice was approved only in July 1953, after Stalin 's death. North Korean leader Kim Il Sung created a highly centralized, totalitarian dictatorship -- which continues to date -- according himself unlimited power and generating a formidable cult of personality. In the South, the American - backed strongman Syngman Rhee ran a significantly less brutal but deeply corrupt and authoritarian regime. After Rhee was overthrown in 1960, South Korea fell within a year under a period of military rule that lasted until the re-establishment of a multi-party system in the late 1980s. Crisis and escalation ( 1953 -- 1962 ) Main article : Cold War ( 1953 -- 1962 ) NATO and Warsaw Pact troop strengths in Europe in 1959. Khrushchev, Eisenhower and de-Stalinization In 1953, changes in political leadership on both sides shifted the dynamic of the Cold War. Dwight D. Eisenhower was inaugurated president that January. During the last 18 months of the Truman administration, the American defense budget had quadrupled, and Eisenhower moved to reduce military spending by a third while continuing to fight the Cold War effectively. After the death of Joseph Stalin, Nikita Khrushchev became the Soviet leader following the deposition and execution of Lavrentiy Beria and the pushing aside of rivals Georgy Malenkov and Vyacheslav Molotov. On 25 February 1956, Khrushchev shocked delegates to the 20th Congress of the Soviet Communist Party by cataloguing and denouncing Stalin 's crimes. As part of a campaign of de-Stalinization, he declared that the only way to reform and move away from Stalin 's policies would be to acknowledge errors made in the past. On 18 November 1956, while addressing Western ambassadors at a reception at the Polish embassy in Moscow, Khrushchev used his famous `` Whether you like it or not, history is on our side. We will bury you '' expression, shocking everyone present. He later claimed that he had not been talking about nuclear war, but rather about the historically determined victory of communism over capitalism. In 1961, Khrushchev declared that even if the USSR was behind the West, within a decade its housing shortage would disappear, consumer goods would be abundant, and within two decades, the `` construction of a communist society '' in the USSR would be completed `` in the main ''. Eisenhower 's secretary of state, John Foster Dulles, initiated a `` New Look '' for the containment strategy, calling for a greater reliance on nuclear weapons against US enemies in wartime. Dulles also enunciated the doctrine of `` massive retaliation '', threatening a severe US response to any Soviet aggression. Possessing nuclear superiority, for example, allowed Eisenhower to face down Soviet threats to intervene in the Middle East during the 1956 Suez Crisis. US plans for nuclear war in the late 1950s included the `` systematic destruction '' of 1200 major urban centers in the Eastern Bloc and China, including Moscow, East Berlin and Beijing, with their civilian populations among the primary targets. Warsaw Pact and Hungarian Revolution Main articles : Warsaw Pact and Hungarian Revolution of 1956 The maximum territorial extent of countries in the world under Soviet influence, after the Cuban Revolution of 1959 and before the official Sino - Soviet split of 1961. While Stalin 's death in 1953 slightly relaxed tensions, the situation in Europe remained an uneasy armed truce. The Soviets, who had already created a network of mutual assistance treaties in the Eastern Bloc by 1949, established a formal alliance therein, the Warsaw Pact, in 1955. The Hungarian Revolution of 1956 March of protesters in Budapest, on 25 October ; A destroyed Soviet T - 34 - 85 tank in Budapest. The Hungarian Revolution of 1956 occurred shortly after Khrushchev arranged the removal of Hungary 's Stalinist leader Mátyás Rákosi. In response to a popular uprising, the new regime formally disbanded the secret police, declared its intention to withdraw from the Warsaw Pact and pledged to re-establish free elections. The Soviet Army invaded. Thousands of Hungarians were arrested, imprisoned and deported to the Soviet Union, and approximately 200,000 Hungarians fled Hungary in the chaos. Hungarian leader Imre Nagy and others were executed following secret trials. From 1957 through 1961, Khrushchev openly and repeatedly threatened the West with nuclear annihilation. He claimed that Soviet missile capabilities were far superior to those of the United States, capable of wiping out any American or European city. However, Khrushchev rejected Stalin 's belief in the inevitability of war, and declared his new goal was to be `` peaceful coexistence ''. This formulation modified the Stalin - era Soviet stance, where international class conflict meant the two opposing camps were on an inevitable collision course where communism would triumph through global war ; now, peace would allow capitalism to collapse on its own, as well as giving the Soviets time to boost their military capabilities, which remained for decades until Gorbachev 's later `` new thinking '' envisioning peaceful coexistence as an end in itself rather than a form of class struggle. The events in Hungary produced ideological fractures within the communist parties of the world, particularly in Western Europe, with great decline in membership as many in both western and communist countries felt disillusioned by the brutal Soviet response. The communist parties in the West would never recover from the effect the Hungarian Revolution had on their membership, a fact that was immediately recognized by some, such as the Yugoslavian politician Milovan Đilas who shortly after the revolution was crushed said that `` The wound which the Hungarian Revolution inflicted on communism can never be completely healed ''. America 's pronouncements concentrated on American strength abroad and the success of liberal capitalism. However, by the late 1960s, the `` battle for men 's minds '' between two systems of social organization that Kennedy spoke of in 1961 was largely over, with tensions henceforth based primarily on clashing geopolitical objectives rather than ideology. Berlin ultimatum and European integration Main articles : Berlin Crisis of 1961 § Berlin ultimatum, and European integration During November 1958, Khrushchev made an unsuccessful attempt to turn all of Berlin into an independent, demilitarized `` free city '', giving the United States, Great Britain, and France a six - month ultimatum to withdraw their troops from the sectors they still occupied in West Berlin, or he would transfer control of Western access rights to the East Germans. Khrushchev earlier explained to Mao Zedong that `` Berlin is the testicles of the West. Every time I want to make the West scream, I squeeze on Berlin. '' NATO formally rejected the ultimatum in mid-December and Khrushchev withdrew it in return for a Geneva conference on the German question. More broadly, one hallmark of the 1950s was the beginning of European integration -- a fundamental by - product of the Cold War that Truman and Eisenhower promoted politically, economically, and militarily, but which later administrations viewed ambivalently, fearful that an independent Europe would forge a separate détente with the Soviet Union, which would use this to exacerbate Western disunity. Competition in the Third World Main articles : Decolonization § After 1945, Wars of national liberation, 1953 Iranian coup d'état, 1954 Guatemalan coup d'état, and Congo Crisis Western colonial empires in Asia and Africa all collapsed in the years after 1945 Nationalist movements in some countries and regions, notably Guatemala, Indonesia and Indochina were often allied with communist groups, or perceived in the West to be allied with communists. In this context, the United States and the Soviet Union increasingly competed for influence by proxy in the Third World as decolonization gained momentum in the 1950s and early 1960s ; additionally, the Soviets saw continuing losses by imperial powers as presaging the eventual victory of their ideology. Both sides were selling armaments to gain influence. 1961 Soviet postage stamp demanding freedom for African nations. 1961 Soviet stamp commemorating Patrice Lumumba, prime minister of the Republic of the Congo. The United States made use of the Central Intelligence Agency ( CIA ) to do away with a string of unfriendly Third World governments and to support allied ones. In 1953, President Eisenhower 's CIA implemented Operation Ajax, a covert operation aimed at the overthrow of the Iranian prime minister, Mohammad Mosaddegh. The popularly elected and non-aligned Mosaddegh had been a Middle Eastern nemesis of Britain since nationalizing the British - owned Anglo - Iranian Oil Company in 1951. Winston Churchill told the United States that Mosaddegh was `` increasingly turning towards communism. '' The pro-Western shah, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, assumed control as an autocratic monarch. The shah 's policies included the banning of the communist Tudeh Party of Iran and general suppression of political dissent by SAVAK, the shah 's domestic security and intelligence agency. In Guatemala, a CIA - backed military coup ousted the left - wing President Jacobo Árbenz in 1954. The post-Arbenz government -- a military junta headed by Carlos Castillo Armas -- repealed a progressive land reform law, returned nationalized property belonging to the United Fruit Company, set up a National Committee of Defense Against Communism, and decreed a Preventive Penal Law Against Communism at the request of the United States. The non-aligned Indonesian government of Sukarno was faced with a major threat to its legitimacy beginning in 1956, when several regional commanders began to demand autonomy from Jakarta. After mediation failed, Sukarno took action to remove the dissident commanders. In February 1958, dissident military commanders in Central Sumatera ( Colonel Ahmad Hussein ) and North Sulawesi ( Colonel Ventje Sumual ) declared the Revolutionary Government of the Republic of Indonesia - Permesta Movement aimed at overthrowing the Sukarno regime. They were joined by many civilian politicians from the Masyumi Party, such as Sjafruddin Prawiranegara, who were opposed to the growing influence of the communist Partai Komunis Indonesia party. Due to their anti-communist rhetoric, the rebels received arms, funding, and other covert aid from the CIA until Allen Lawrence Pope, an American pilot, was shot down after a bombing raid on government - held Ambon in April 1958. The central government responded by launching airborne and seaborne military invasions of rebel strongholds Padang and Manado. By the end of 1958, the rebels were militarily defeated, and the last remaining rebel guerilla bands surrendered by August 1961. In the Republic of the Congo, newly independent from Belgium since June 1960, the CIA - cultivated President Joseph Kasa - Vubu ordered the dismissal of the democratically elected Prime Minister Patrice Lumumba and the Lumumba cabinet in September ; Lumumba called for Kasa - Vubu 's dismissal instead. In the ensuing Congo Crisis, the CIA - backed Colonel Mobutu Sese Seko quickly mobilized his forces to seize power through a military coup d'état. An animated map shows the order of independence of the African nations, 1950 -- 2011. In British Guiana, the leftist People 's Progressive Party ( PPP ) candidate Cheddi Jagan won the position of chief minister in a colonially administered election in 1953, but was quickly forced to resign from power after Britain 's suspension of the still - dependent nation 's constitution. Embarrassed by the landslide electoral victory of Jagan 's allegedly Marxist party, the British imprisoned the PPP 's leadership and maneuvered the organization into a divisive rupture in 1955, engineering a split between Jagan and his PPP colleagues. Jagan again won the colonial elections in 1957 and 1961 ; despite Britain 's shift to a reconsideration of its view of the left - wing Jagan as a Soviet - style communist at this time, the United States pressured the British to withhold Guyana 's independence until an alternative to Jagan could be identified, supported, and brought into office. Worn down by the communist guerrilla war for Vietnamese independence and handed a watershed defeat by communist Viet Minh rebels at the 1954 Battle of Dien Bien Phu, the French accepted a negotiated abandonment of their colonial stake in Vietnam. In the Geneva Conference, peace accords were signed, leaving Vietnam divided between a pro-Soviet administration in North Vietnam and a pro-Western administration in South Vietnam at the 17th parallel north. Between 1954 and 1961, Eisenhower 's United States sent economic aid and military advisers to strengthen South Vietnam 's pro-Western regime against communist efforts to destabilize it. Many emerging nations of Asia, Africa, and Latin America rejected the pressure to choose sides in the East - West competition. In 1955, at the Bandung Conference in Indonesia, dozens of Third World governments resolved to stay out of the Cold War. The consensus reached at Bandung culminated with the creation of the Belgrade - headquartered Non-Aligned Movement in 1961. Meanwhile, Khrushchev broadened Moscow 's policy to establish ties with India and other key neutral states. Independence movements in the Third World transformed the post-war order into a more pluralistic world of decolonized African and Middle Eastern nations and of rising nationalism in Asia and Latin America. Sino - Soviet split Main article : Sino - Soviet split A map showing the relations of the communist states after the Sino - Soviet split as of 1980 : The USSR and pro-Soviet communist states China and pro-Chinese communist states Neutral communist nations ( North Korea and Yugoslavia ) Non-communist states The period after 1956 was marked by serious setbacks for the Soviet Union, most notably the breakdown of the Sino - Soviet alliance, beginning the Sino - Soviet split. Mao had defended Stalin when Khrushchev attacked him after his death in 1956, and treated the new Soviet leader as a superficial upstart, accusing him of having lost his revolutionary edge. For his part, Khrushchev, disturbed by Mao 's glib attitude toward nuclear war, referred to the Chinese leader as a `` lunatic on a throne ''. After this, Khrushchev made many desperate attempts to reconstitute the Sino - Soviet alliance, but Mao considered it useless and denied any proposal. The Chinese - Soviet animosity spilled out in an intra-communist propaganda war. Further on, the Soviets focused on a bitter rivalry with Mao 's China for leadership of the global communist movement. Historian Lorenz M. Lüthi argues : The Sino - Soviet split was one of the key events of the Cold War, equal in importance to the construction of the Berlin Wall, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Second Vietnam War, and Sino - American rapprochement. The split helped to determine the framework of the Second Cold War in general, and influenced the course of the Second Vietnam War in particular. Space race Main article : Space Race The United States reached the moon in 1969. On the nuclear weapons front, the United States and the USSR pursued nuclear rearmament and developed long - range weapons with which they could strike the territory of the other. In August 1957, the Soviets successfully launched the world 's first intercontinental ballistic missile ( ICBM ) and in October, launched the first Earth satellite, Sputnik 1. The launch of Sputnik inaugurated the Space Race. This culminated in the Apollo Moon landings, which astronaut Frank Borman later described as `` just a battle in the Cold War. '' Cuban Revolution and the Bay of Pigs invasion Main articles : Cuban Revolution and Bay of Pigs Invasion Che Guevara ( left ) and Fidel Castro ( right ) in 1961. In Cuba, the 26th of July Movement seized power in 1 January 1959, toppling President Fulgencio Batista, whose unpopular regime had been denied arms by the Eisenhower administration. Diplomatic relations between Cuba and the United States continued for some time after Batista 's fall, but President Eisenhower deliberately left the capital to avoid meeting Cuba 's young revolutionary leader Fidel Castro during the latter 's trip to Washington, D.C. in April, leaving Vice President Richard Nixon to conduct the meeting in his place. Cuba began negotiating arms purchases from the Eastern Bloc in March 1960. In January 1961, just prior to leaving office, Eisenhower formally severed relations with the Cuban government. In April 1961, the administration of newly elected American President John F. Kennedy mounted an unsuccessful CIA - organized ship - borne invasion of the island at Playa Girón and Playa Larga in Santa Clara Province -- a failure that publicly humiliated the United States. Castro responded by publicly embracing Marxism -- Leninism, and the Soviet Union pledged to provide further support. Berlin Crisis of 1961 Main articles : Berlin Crisis of 1961, Berlin Wall, and Eastern Bloc emigration and defection Soviet and American tanks face each other at Checkpoint Charlie, during the Berlin Crisis of 1961. The Berlin Crisis of 1961 was the last major incident in the Cold War regarding the status of Berlin and post -- World War II Germany. By the early 1950s, the Soviet approach to restricting emigration movement was emulated by most of the rest of the Eastern Bloc. However, hundreds of thousands of East Germans annually emigrated to West Germany through a `` loophole '' in the system that existed between East and West Berlin, where the four occupying World War II powers governed movement. The emigration resulted in a massive `` brain drain '' from East Germany to West Germany of younger educated professionals, such that nearly 20 % of East Germany 's population had migrated to West Germany by 1961. That June, the Soviet Union issued a new ultimatum demanding the withdrawal of Allied forces from West Berlin. The request was rebuffed, and on 13 August, East Germany erected a barbed - wire barrier that would eventually be expanded through construction into the Berlin Wall, effectively closing the loophole. Cuban Missile Crisis and Khrushchev 's ouster Main articles : Cuban Project and Cuban Missile Crisis Aerial photograph of a Soviet missile site in Cuba, taken by a US spy aircraft, 1 November 1962. Continuing to seek ways to oust Castro following the Bay of Pigs Invasion, Kennedy and his administration experimented with various ways of covertly facilitating the overthrow of the Cuban government. Significant hopes were pinned on a covert program named the Cuban Project, devised under the Kennedy administration in 1961. In February 1962, Khrushchev learned of the American plans regarding Cuba : a `` Cuban project '' -- approved by the CIA and stipulating the overthrow of the Cuban government in October, possibly involving the American military -- and yet one more Kennedy - ordered operation to assassinate Castro. Preparations to install Soviet nuclear missiles in Cuba were undertaken in response. Alarmed, Kennedy considered various reactions, and ultimately responded to the installation of nuclear missiles in Cuba with a naval blockade and presented an ultimatum to the Soviets. Khrushchev backed down from a confrontation, and the Soviet Union removed the missiles in return for an American pledge not to invade Cuba again. Castro later admitted that `` I would have agreed to the use of nuclear weapons... we took it for granted that it would become a nuclear war anyway, and that we were going to disappear. '' The Cuban Missile Crisis ( October -- November 1962 ) brought the world closer to nuclear war than ever before. The aftermath of the crisis led to the first efforts in the nuclear arms race at nuclear disarmament and improving relations, although the Cold War 's first arms control agreement, the Antarctic Treaty, had come into force in 1961. In 1964, Khrushchev 's Kremlin colleagues managed to oust him, but allowed him a peaceful retirement. Accused of rudeness and incompetence, he was also credited with ruining Soviet agriculture and bringing the world to the brink of nuclear war. Khrushchev had become an international embarrassment when he authorized construction of the Berlin Wall, a public humiliation for Marxism -- Leninism. Confrontation through détente ( 1962 -- 1979 ) Main article : Cold War ( 1962 -- 1979 ) NATO and Warsaw Pact troop strengths in Europe in 1973. United States Navy F - 4 Phantom II intercepts a Soviet Tupolev Tu - 95 D aircraft in the early 1970s. In the course of the 1960s and 1970s, Cold War participants struggled to adjust to a new, more complicated pattern of international relations in which the world was no longer divided into two clearly opposed blocs. From the beginning of the post-war period, Western Europe and Japan rapidly recovered from the destruction of World War II and sustained strong economic growth through the 1950s and 1960s, with per capita GDPs approaching those of the United States, while Eastern Bloc economies stagnated. As a result of the 1973 oil crisis, combined with the growing influence of Third World alignments such as the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ( OPEC ) and the Non-Aligned Movement, less - powerful countries had more room to assert their independence and often showed themselves resistant to pressure from either superpower. Meanwhile, Moscow was forced to turn its attention inward to deal with the Soviet Union 's deep - seated domestic economic problems. During this period, Soviet leaders such as Leonid Brezhnev and Alexei Kosygin embraced the notion of détente. French withdrawal from NATO Main article : NATO § French withdrawal The unity of NATO was breached early in its history, with a crisis occurring during Charles de Gaulle 's presidency of France from 1958 onwards. De Gaulle protested at the United States ' strong role in the organization and what he perceived as a special relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom. In a memorandum sent to President Dwight D. Eisenhower and Prime Minister Harold Macmillan on 17 September 1958, he argued for the creation of a tripartite directorate that would put France on an equal footing with the United States and the United Kingdom, and also for the expansion of NATO 's coverage to include geographical areas of interest to France, most notably French Algeria, where France was waging a counter-insurgency and sought NATO assistance. Considering the response given to be unsatisfactory, de Gaulle began the development of an independent French nuclear deterrent and in 1966 withdrew from NATO 's military structures and expelled NATO troops from French soil. Invasion of Czechoslovakia Main articles : Prague Spring and Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia The 1968 invasion of Czechoslovakia was one of the biggest military operations on European soil since World War II In 1968, a period of political liberalization in Czechoslovakia called the Prague Spring took place that included `` Action Program '' of liberalizations, which described increasing freedom of the press, freedom of speech and freedom of movement, along with an economic emphasis on consumer goods, the possibility of a multiparty government, limiting the power of the secret police and potentially withdrawing from the Warsaw Pact. Leonid Brezhnev and Richard Nixon in Washington, 1973 ; this was a high - water mark in détente between the USSR and the US. In answer to the Prague Spring, on 20 August 1968, the Soviet Army, together with most of their Warsaw Pact allies, invaded Czechoslovakia. The invasion was followed by a wave of emigration, including an estimated 70,000 Czechs and Slovaks initially fleeing, with the total eventually reaching 300,000. The invasion sparked intense protests from Yugoslavia, Romania, China, and from Western European communist parties. Brezhnev Doctrine Main article : Brezhnev Doctrine In September 1968, during a speech at the Fifth Congress of the Polish United Workers ' Party one month after the invasion of Czechoslovakia, Brezhnev outlined the Brezhnev Doctrine, in which he claimed the right to violate the sovereignty of any country attempting to replace Marxism -- Leninism with capitalism. During the speech, Brezhnev stated : When forces that are hostile to socialism try to turn the development of some socialist country towards capitalism, it becomes not only a problem of the country concerned, but a common problem and concern of all socialist countries. The doctrine found its origins in the failures of Marxism -- Leninism in states like Poland, Hungary and East Germany, which were facing a declining standard of living contrasting with the prosperity of West Germany and the rest of Western Europe.

Johnson on 29 September 1967. Under the Lyndon B. Johnson Administration, which gained power after the assassination of John F. Kennedy, the U.S. took a more hardline stance on Latin America -- sometimes called the `` Mann Doctrine ''. In 1964, the Brazilian military overthrew the government of president João Goulart with U.S. backing. In late April 1965, the U.S. sent some 22,000 troops to the Dominican Republic for a one - year occupation in an invasion codenamed Operation Power Pack, citing the threat of the emergence of a Cuban - style revolution in Latin America. Héctor García - Godoy acted as provisional president, until conservative former president Joaquín Balaguer won the 1966 presidential election against non-campaigning former President Juan Bosch. Activists for Bosch 's Dominican Revolutionary Party were violently harassed by the Dominican police and armed forces. Alexei Kosygin ( left ) next to US President Lyndon B. Johnson ( right ) during the Glassboro Summit Conference, 23 June 1967. In Indonesia, the hardline anti-communist General Suharto wrested control of the state from his predecessor Sukarno in an attempt to establish a `` New Order ''. From 1965 to 1966, with the aid of the United States and other Western governments, the military led the mass killing of more than 500,000 members and sympathizers of the Indonesian Communist Party and other leftist organizations, and detained hundreds of thousands more in prison camps around the country under extremely inhumane conditions. A top - secret CIA report stated that the massacres `` rank as one of the worst mass murders of the 20th century, along with the Soviet purges of the 1930s, the Nazi mass murders during the Second World War, and the Maoist bloodbath of the early 1950s. '' These killings served U.S. strategic interests and constitute a major turning point in the Cold War as the balance of power shifted in Southeast Asia. Escalating the scale of American intervention in the ongoing conflict between Ngô Đình Diệm 's South Vietnamese government and the communist National Front for the Liberation of South Vietnam ( NLF ) insurgents opposing it, Johnson deployed some 575,000 troops in Southeast Asia to defeat the NLF and their North Vietnamese allies in the Vietnam War, but his costly policy weakened the US economy and, by 1975, it ultimately culminated in what most of the world saw as a humiliating defeat of the world 's most powerful superpower at the hands of one of the world 's poorest nations. Chilean leader Augusto Pinochet shaking hands with Henry Kissinger in 1976. In Chile, the Socialist Party candidate Salvador Allende won the presidential election of 1970, becoming the first democratically elected Marxist to become president of a country in the Americas. The CIA targeted Allende for removal and operated to undermine his support domestically, which contributed to a period of unrest culminating in General Augusto Pinochet 's coup d'état on 11 September 1973. Pinochet consolidated power as a military dictator, Allende 's reforms of the economy were rolled back, and leftist opponents were killed or detained in internment camps under the Dirección de Inteligencia Nacional ( DINA ). The Pinochet regime would go on to be one of the leading participants in Operation Condor, an international campaign of political assassination and state terrorism organized by right - wing military dictatorships in the Southern Cone of South America that was covertly supported by the US government. Henry Kissinger, who was US National Security Advisor and Secretary of State under Presidents Nixon and Ford, was a central figure in the Cold War while in office ( 1969 -- 1977 ). The Middle East remained a source of contention. Egypt, which received the bulk of its arms and economic assistance from the USSR, was a troublesome client, with a reluctant Soviet Union feeling obliged to assist in both the 1967 Six - Day War ( with advisers and technicians ) and the War of Attrition ( with pilots and aircraft ) against pro-Western Israel. Despite the beginning of an Egyptian shift from a pro-Soviet to a pro-American orientation in 1972 ( under Egypt 's new leader Anwar Sadat ), rumors of imminent Soviet intervention on the Egyptians ' behalf during the 1973 Yom Kippur War brought about a massive American mobilization that threatened to wreck détente. Although pre-Sadat Egypt had been the largest recipient of Soviet aid in the Middle East, the Soviets were also successful in establishing close relations with communist South Yemen, as well as the nationalist governments of Algeria and Iraq. Iraq signed a 15 - year Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation with the Soviet Union in 1972. According to historian Charles R.H. Tripp, the treaty upset `` the U.S. - sponsored security system established as part of the Cold War in the Middle East. It appeared that any enemy of the Baghdad regime was a potential ally of the United States. '' In response, the U.S. covertly financed Kurdish rebels led by Mustafa Barzani during the Second Iraqi -- Kurdish War ; the Kurds were defeated in 1975, leading to the forcible relocation of hundreds of thousands of Kurdish civilians. Indirect Soviet assistance to the Palestinian side of the Israeli -- Palestinian conflict included support for Yasser Arafat 's Palestine Liberation Organization ( PLO ). U.S. combat operations during the Battle of Ia Drang, South Vietnam, November 1965. In Africa, Somali army officers led by Siad Barre carried out a bloodless coup in 1969, creating the socialist Somali Democratic Republic. The Soviet Union vowed to support Somalia. Four years later, the pro-American Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie was overthrown in a 1974 coup by the Derg, a radical group of Ethiopian army officers led by the pro-Soviet Mengistu Haile Mariam, who built up relations with the Cubans and the Soviets. When fighting between the Somalis and Ethiopians broke out in the 1977 -- 1978 Somali - Ethiopian Ogaden War, Barre lost his Soviet support and turned to the Safari Club -- a group of pro-American intelligence agencies including Iran, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia -- for support and weapons. The Ethiopian military was supported by Cuban soldiers along with Soviet military advisors and armaments. The 1974 Portuguese Carnation Revolution against the authoritarian Estado Novo returned Portugal to a multi-party system and facilitated the independence of the Portuguese colonies Angola and East Timor. In Africa, where Angolan rebels had waged a multi-faction independence war against Portuguese rule since 1961, a two - decade civil war replaced the anti-colonial struggle as fighting erupted between the communist People 's Movement for the Liberation of Angola ( MPLA ), backed by the Cubans and the Soviets, and the National Liberation Front of Angola ( FNLA ), backed by the United States, the People 's Republic of China, and Mobutu 's government in Zaire. The United States, the apartheid government of South Africa, and several other African governments also supported a third faction, the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola ( UNITA ). Without bothering to consult the Soviets in advance, the Cuban government sent a number of combat troops to fight alongside the MPLA. Foreign mercenaries and a South African armoured column were deployed to support UNITA, but the MPLA, bolstered by Cuban personnel and Soviet assistance, eventually gained the upper hand. During the Khmer Rouge regime led by Pol Pot, 1 to 3 million people died due to the policies of his four - year premiership. During the Vietnam War, North Vietnam invaded and occupied parts of Cambodia to use as military bases, which contributed to the violence of the Cambodian Civil War between the pro-American government of Lon Nol and communist Khmer Rouge insurgents. Documents uncovered from the Soviet archives reveal that the North Vietnamese invasion of Cambodia in 1970 was launched at the request of the Khmer Rouge after negotiations with Nuon Chea. US and South Vietnamese forces responded to these actions with a bombing campaign and ground incursion, the effects of which are disputed by historians. Under the leadership of Pol Pot, the Khmer Rouge would eventually kill 1 -- 3 million Cambodians in the killing fields, out of a 1975 population of roughly 8 million. Martin Shaw described these atrocities as `` the purest genocide of the Cold War era. '' Backed by the Kampuchean United Front for National Salvation, an organization of Khmer pro-Soviet Communists and Khmer Rouge defectors led by Heng Samrin, Vietnam invaded Cambodia on 22 December 1978. The invasion succeeded in deposing Pol Pot, but the new state would struggle to gain international recognition beyond the Soviet Bloc sphere -- despite the previous international outcry at Pol Pot 's DK regime 's gross human rights violations, and it would be bogged down in a guerrilla war led from refugee camps located in the border with Thailand. Following Khmer Rouge 's destruction, Cambodia 's national reconstruction would be severely hampered and Vietnam would suffer a punitive Chinese attack. Sino - American rapprochement Main article : 1972 Nixon visit to China Mao Zedong and US President Richard Nixon, during his visit in China. As a result of the Sino - Soviet split, tensions along the Chinese -- Soviet border reached their peak in 1969, and United States President Richard Nixon decided to use the conflict to shift the balance of power towards the West in the Cold War. The Chinese had sought improved relations with the Americans in order to gain advantage over the Soviets as well. In February 1972, Nixon announced a stunning rapprochement with Mao 's China by traveling to Beijing and meeting with Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai. At this time, the USSR achieved rough nuclear parity with the United States ; meanwhile, the Vietnam War both weakened America 's influence in the Third World and cooled relations with Western Europe. Although indirect conflict between Cold War powers continued through the late 1960s and early 1970s, tensions were beginning to ease. Nixon, Brezhnev, and détente Main articles : Strategic Arms Limitation Talks, Vladivostok Summit Meeting on Arms Control, Helsinki Accords, and Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe Leonid Brezhnev and Jimmy Carter sign the SALT II treaty, 18 June 1979, in Vienna. Following his visit to China, Nixon met with Soviet leaders, including Brezhnev in Moscow. These Strategic Arms Limitation Talks resulted in two landmark arms control treaties : SALT I, the first comprehensive limitation pact signed by the two superpowers, and the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty, which banned the development of systems designed to intercept incoming missiles. These aimed to limit the development of costly anti-ballistic missiles and nuclear missiles. Nixon and Brezhnev proclaimed a new era of `` peaceful coexistence '' and established the groundbreaking new policy of détente ( or cooperation ) between the two superpowers. Meanwhile, Brezhnev attempted to revive the Soviet economy, which was declining in part because of heavy military expenditures. Between 1972 and 1974, the two sides also agreed to strengthen their economic ties, including agreements for increased trade. As a result of their meetings, détente would replace the hostility of the Cold War and the two countries would live mutually. Meanwhile, these developments coincided with the `` Ostpolitik '' of West German Chancellor Willy Brandt. Other agreements were concluded to stabilize the situation in Europe, culminating in the Helsinki Accords signed at the Conference on Security and Co-operation in Europe in 1975. Iranian people protesting against the Pahlavi dynasty, during the Iranian Revolution. Kissinger and Nixon were `` realists '' who deemphasized idealistic goals like anti-communism or promotion of democracy worldwide, because those goals were too expensive in terms of America 's economic capabilities. Instead of a Cold War they wanted peace, trade and cultural exchanges. They realized that Americans were no longer willing to tax themselves for idealistic foreign policy goals, especially for containment policies that never seemed to produce positive results. Instead Nixon and Kissinger sought to downsize America 's global commitments in proportion to its reduced economic, moral and political power. They rejected `` idealism '' as impractical and too expensive ; neither man showed much sensitivity to the plight of people living under Communism. Kissinger 's realism fell out of fashion as idealism returned to American foreign policy with Carter 's moralism emphasizing human rights, and Reagan 's rollback strategy aimed at destroying Communism. Late 1970s deterioration of relations In the 1970s, the KGB, led by Yuri Andropov, continued to persecute distinguished Soviet personalities such as Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn and Andrei Sakharov, who were criticising the Soviet leadership in harsh terms. Indirect conflict between the superpowers continued through this period of détente in the Third World, particularly during political crises in the Middle East, Chile, Ethiopia, and Angola. Although President Jimmy Carter tried to place another limit on the arms race with a SALT II agreement in 1979, his efforts were undermined by the other events that year, including the Iranian Revolution and the Nicaraguan Revolution, which both ousted pro-US regimes, and his retaliation against Soviet intervention in Afghanistan in December. `` Second Cold War '' ( 1979 -- 1985 ) Main article : Cold War ( 1979 -- 1985 ) The term second Cold War refers to the period of intensive reawakening of Cold War tensions and conflicts in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Tensions greatly increased between the major powers with both sides becoming more militaristic. Diggins says, `` Reagan went all out to fight the second cold war, by supporting counterinsurgencies in the third world. '' Cox says, `` The intensity of this ' second ' Cold War was as great as its duration was short. '' Soviet War in Afghanistan Main articles : War in Afghanistan ( 1978 -- present ) and Soviet -- Afghan War President Reagan publicizes his support by meeting with Afghan Mujahideen leaders in the White House, 1983. In April 1978, the communist People 's Democratic Party of Afghanistan ( PDPA ) seized power in Afghanistan in the Saur Revolution. Within months, opponents of the communist government launched an uprising in eastern Afghanistan that quickly expanded into a civil war waged by guerrilla mujahideen against government forces countrywide. The Islamic Unity of Afghanistan Mujahideen insurgents received military training and weapons in neighboring Pakistan and China, while the Soviet Union sent thousands of military advisers to support the PDPA government. Meanwhile, increasing friction between the competing factions of the PDPA -- the dominant Khalq and the more moderate Parcham -- resulted in the dismissal of Parchami cabinet members and the arrest of Parchami military officers under the pretext of a Parchami coup. By mid-1979, the United States had started a covert program to assist the mujahideen. In September 1979, Khalqist President Nur Muhammad Taraki was assassinated in a coup within the PDPA orchestrated by fellow Khalq member Hafizullah Amin, who assumed the presidency. Distrusted by the Soviets, Amin was assassinated by Soviet special forces in December 1979. A Soviet - organized government, led by Parcham 's Babrak Karmal but inclusive of both factions, filled the vacuum. Soviet troops were deployed to stabilize Afghanistan under Karmal in more substantial numbers, although the Soviet government did not expect to do most of the fighting in Afghanistan. As a result, however, the Soviets were now directly involved in what had been a domestic war in Afghanistan. Carter responded to the Soviet intervention by withdrawing the SALT II treaty from the Senate, imposing embargoes on grain and technology shipments to the USSR, and demanding a significant increase in military spending, and further announced that the United States would boycott the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow. He described the Soviet incursion as `` the most serious threat to the peace since the Second World War ''. Reagan and Thatcher Further information : Reagan Doctrine and Thatcherism Thatcher 's Ministry meets with Reagan 's Cabinet at the White House, 1981. The world map of military alliances in 1980 In January 1977, four years prior to becoming president, Ronald Reagan bluntly stated, in a conversation with Richard V. Allen, his basic expectation in relation to the Cold War. `` My idea of American policy toward the Soviet Union is simple, and some would say simplistic, '' he said. `` It is this : We win and they lose. What do you think of that? '' In 1980, Ronald Reagan defeated Jimmy Carter in the 1980 presidential election, vowing to increase military spending and confront the Soviets everywhere. Both Reagan and new British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher denounced the Soviet Union and its ideology. Reagan labeled the Soviet Union an `` evil empire '' and predicted that Communism would be left on the `` ash heap of history, '' while Thatcher inculpated the Soviets as `` bent on world dominance. '' In 1982 Reagan tried to cut off Moscow 's access to hard currency by impeding its proposed gas line to Western Europe. It hurt the Soviet economy, but it also caused ill will among American allies in Europe who counted on that revenue. Reagan retreated on this issue. By early 1985, Reagan 's anti-communist position had developed into a stance known as the new Reagan Doctrine -- which, in addition to containment, formulated an additional right to subvert existing communist governments. Besides continuing Carter 's policy of supporting the Islamic opponents of the Soviet Union and the Soviet - backed PDPA government in Afghanistan, the CIA also sought to weaken the Soviet Union itself by promoting Islamism in the majority - Muslim Central Asian Soviet Union. Additionally, the CIA encouraged anti-communist Pakistan 's ISI to train Muslims from around the world to participate in the jihad against the Soviet Union. Polish Solidarity movement and martial law Main articles : Solidarity ( Polish trade union ) and Martial law in Poland Further information : Soviet reaction to the Polish crisis of 1980 -- 81 Pope John Paul II provided a moral focus for anti-communism ; a visit to his native Poland in 1979 stimulated a religious and nationalist resurgence centered on the Solidarity movement that galvanized opposition and may have led to his attempted assassination two years later. In December 1981, Poland 's Wojciech Jaruzelski reacted to the crisis by imposing a period of martial law. Reagan imposed economic sanctions on Poland in response. Mikhail Suslov, the Kremlin 's top ideologist, advised Soviet leaders not to intervene if Poland fell under the control of Solidarity, for fear it might lead to heavy economic sanctions, representing a catastrophe for the Soviet economy. Soviet and US military and economic issues Further information : Era of Stagnation, Strategic Defense Initiative, SS - 20 Saber, and MGM - 31 Pershing US and USSR / Russian nuclear weapons stockpiles, 1945 -- 2006. Delta 183 launch vehicle lifts off, carrying the Strategic Defense Initiative sensor experiment `` Delta Star ''. Moscow had built up a military that consumed as much as 25 percent of the Soviet Union 's gross national product at the expense of consumer goods and investment in civilian sectors. Soviet spending on the arms race and other Cold War commitments both caused and exacerbated deep - seated structural problems in the Soviet system, which saw at least a decade of economic stagnation during the late Brezhnev years. Soviet investment in the defense sector was not driven by military necessity, but in large part by the interests of massive party and state bureaucracies dependent on the sector for their own power and privileges. The Soviet Armed Forces became the largest in the world in terms of the numbers and types of weapons they possessed, in the number of troops in their ranks, and in the sheer size of their military -- industrial base. However, the quantitative advantages held by the Soviet military often concealed areas where the Eastern Bloc dramatically lagged behind the West. For example, the Persian Gulf War demonstrated how the armor, fire control systems and firing range of the Soviet 's most common main battle tank, the T - 72, were drastically inferior to the American M1 Abrams, yet the USSR fielded almost three times as many T - 72 's as the US deployed M1 's. By the early 1980s, the USSR had built up a military arsenal and army surpassing that of the United States. Soon after the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, president Carter began massively building up the United States military. This buildup was accelerated by the Reagan administration, which increased the military spending from 5.3 percent of GNP in 1981 to 6.5 percent in 1986, the largest peacetime defense buildup in United States history. Tensions continued intensifying in the early 1980s when Reagan revived the B - 1 Lancer program that was canceled by the Carter administration, produced LGM - 118 Peacekeepers, installed US cruise missiles in Europe, and announced his experimental Strategic Defense Initiative, dubbed `` Star Wars '' by the media, a defense program to shoot down missiles in mid-flight. With the background of a buildup in tensions between the Soviet Union and the United States, and the deployment of Soviet RSD - 10 Pioneer ballistic missiles targeting Western Europe, NATO decided, under the impetus of the Carter presidency, to deploy MGM - 31 Pershing and cruise missiles in Europe, primarily West Germany. This deployment would have placed missiles just 10 minutes ' striking distance from Moscow. After ten - year - old American Samantha Smith wrote a letter to Yuri Andropov expressing her fear of nuclear war, Andropov invited Smith to the Soviet Union. After Reagan 's military buildup, the Soviet Union did not respond by further building its military because the enormous military expenses, along with inefficient planned manufacturing and collectivized agriculture, were already a heavy burden for the Soviet economy. At the same time, Saudi Arabia increased oil production, even as other non-OPEC nations were increasing production. These developments contributed to the 1980s oil glut, which affected the Soviet Union, as oil was the main source of Soviet export revenues. Issues with command economics, oil price decreases and large military expenditures gradually brought the Soviet economy to stagnation. On 1 September 1983, the Soviet Union shot down the Korean Air Lines Flight 007, a Boeing 747 with 269 people aboard, including sitting Congressman Larry McDonald, when it violated Soviet airspace just past the west coast of Sakhalin Island near Moneron Island -- an act which Reagan characterized as a `` massacre ''. This act increased support for military deployment, overseen by Reagan, which stood in place until the later accords between Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev. The Able Archer 83 exercise in November 1983, a realistic simulation of a coordinated NATO nuclear release, was perhaps the most dangerous moment since the Cuban Missile Crisis, as the Soviet leadership feared that a nuclear attack might be imminent. American domestic public concerns about intervening in foreign conflicts persisted from the end of the Vietnam War. The Reagan administration emphasized the use of quick, low - cost counter-insurgency tactics to intervene in foreign conflicts. In 1983, the Reagan administration intervened in the multisided Lebanese Civil War, invaded Grenada, bombed Libya and backed the Central American Contras, anti-communist paramilitaries seeking to overthrow the Soviet - aligned Sandinista government in Nicaragua. While Reagan 's interventions against Grenada and Libya were popular in the United States, his backing of the Contra rebels was mired in controversy. The Reagan administration 's backing of the military government of Guatemala during the Guatemalan Civil War, in particular the regime of Efraín Ríos Montt, was also controversial. Meanwhile, the Soviets incurred high costs for their own foreign interventions. Although Brezhnev was convinced in 1979 that the Soviet war in Afghanistan would be brief, Muslim guerrillas, aided by the US, China, Britain, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, waged a fierce resistance against the invasion. The Kremlin sent nearly 100,000 troops to support its puppet regime in Afghanistan, leading many outside observers to dub the war `` the Soviets ' Vietnam ''. However, Moscow 's quagmire in Afghanistan was far more disastrous for the Soviets than Vietnam had been for the Americans because the conflict coincided with a period of internal decay and domestic crisis in the Soviet system. A senior US State Department official predicted such an outcome as early as 1980, positing that the invasion resulted in part from a `` domestic crisis within the Soviet system... It may be that the thermodynamic law of entropy has... caught up with the Soviet system, which now seems to expend more energy on simply maintaining its equilibrium than on improving itself. We could be seeing a period of foreign movement at a time of internal decay ''. Final years ( 1985 -- 1991 ) Main article : Cold War ( 1985 -- 1991 ) Gorbachev 's reforms Further information : Mikhail Gorbachev, Perestroika, and Glasnost Mikhail Gorbachev and Ronald Reagan sign the INF Treaty at the White House, 1987. By the time the comparatively youthful Mikhail Gorbachev became General Secretary in 1985, the Soviet economy was stagnant and faced a sharp fall in foreign currency earnings as a result of the downward slide in oil prices in the 1980s. These issues prompted Gorbachev to investigate measures to revive the ailing state. An ineffectual start led to the conclusion that deeper structural changes were necessary and in June 1987 Gorbachev announced an agenda of economic reform called perestroika, or restructuring. Perestroika relaxed the production quota system, allowed private ownership of businesses and paved the way for foreign investment. These measures were intended to redirect the country 's resources from costly Cold War military commitments to more productive areas in the civilian sector. Despite initial skepticism in the West, the new Soviet leader proved to be committed to reversing the Soviet Union 's deteriorating economic condition instead of continuing the arms race with the West. Partly as a way to fight off internal opposition from party cliques to his reforms, Gorbachev simultaneously introduced glasnost, or openness, which increased freedom of the press and the transparency of state institutions. Glasnost was intended to reduce the corruption at the top of the Communist Party and moderate the abuse of power in the Central Committee. Glasnost also enabled increased contact between Soviet citizens and the western world, particularly with the United States, contributing to the accelerating détente between the two nations. Thaw in relations Further information : Reykjavík Summit, Intermediate - Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, START I, and Treaty on the Final Settlement with Respect to Germany The beginning of the 1990s brought a thaw in relations between the superpowers. In response to the Kremlin 's military and political concessions, Reagan agreed to renew talks on economic issues and the scaling - back of the arms race. The first summit was held in November 1985 in Geneva, Switzerland. At one stage the two men, accompanied only by an interpreter, agreed in principle to reduce each country 's nuclear arsenal by 50 percent. A second summit, was held in October 1986, Reykjavík, Iceland. Talks went well until the focus shifted to Reagan 's proposed Strategic Defense Initiative, which Gorbachev wanted eliminated. Reagan refused. The negotiations failed, but the third summit in 1987 led to a breakthrough with the signing of the Intermediate - Range Nuclear Forces Treaty ( INF ). The INF treaty eliminated all nuclear - armed, ground - launched ballistic and cruise missiles with ranges between 500 and 5,500 kilometers ( 300 to 3,400 miles ) and their infrastructure. `` Tear down this wall! '' speech : Reagan speaking in front of the Brandenburg Gate, 12 June 1987. East -- West tensions rapidly subsided through the mid-to - late 1980s, culminating with the final summit in Moscow in 1989, when Gorbachev and George H.W. Bush signed the START I arms control treaty. During the following year it became apparent to the Soviets that oil and gas subsidies, along with the cost of maintaining massive troops levels, represented a substantial economic drain. In addition, the security advantage of a buffer zone was recognised as irrelevant and the Soviets officially declared that they would no longer intervene in the affairs of allied states in Central and Eastern Europe. In 1989, Soviet forces withdrew from Afghanistan and by 1990 Gorbachev consented to German reunification, the only alternative being a Tiananmen Square scenario. When the Berlin Wall came down, Gorbachev 's `` Common European Home '' concept began to take shape. On 3 December 1989, Gorbachev and Reagan 's successor, George H.W. Bush, declared the Cold War over at the Malta Summit ; a year later, the two former rivals were partners in the Gulf War against Iraq ( August 1990 -- February 1991 ). Eastern Europe breaks away Main article : Revolutions of 1989 By 1989, the Soviet alliance system was on the brink of collapse, and, deprived of Soviet military support, the communist leaders of the Warsaw Pact states were losing power. Grassroots organizations, such as Poland 's Solidarity movement, rapidly gained ground with strong popular bases. In 1989, the communist governments in Poland and Hungary became the first to negotiate the organizing of competitive elections. In Czechoslovakia and East Germany, mass protests unseated entrenched communist leaders. The communist regimes in Bulgaria and Romania also crumbled, in the latter case as the result of a violent uprising. Attitudes had changed enough that US Secretary of State James Baker suggested that the American government would not be opposed to Soviet intervention in Romania, on behalf of the opposition, to prevent bloodshed. The tidal wave of change culminated with the fall of the Berlin Wall in November 1989, which symbolized the collapse of European communist governments and graphically ended the Iron Curtain divide of Europe. The 1989 revolutionary wave swept across Central and Eastern Europe and peacefully overthrew all of the Soviet - style communist states : East Germany, Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia and Bulgaria ; Romania was the only Eastern - bloc country to topple its communist regime violently and execute its head of state. Soviet republics break away Further information : Economy of the Soviet Union and Baltic Way The human chain in Lithuania during the Baltic Way, 23 August 1989. In the USSR itself, glasnost weakened the bonds that held the Soviet Union together and by February 1990, with the dissolution of the USSR looming, the Communist Party was forced to surrender its 73 - year - old monopoly on state power. At the same time freedom of press and dissent allowed by glasnost and the festering `` nationalities question '' increasingly led the Union 's component republics to declare their autonomy from Moscow, with the Baltic states withdrawing from the Union entirely. Soviet dissolution Main articles : History of the Soviet Union ( 1982 -- 91 ), The Barricades, 1991 Soviet coup d'état attempt, Dissolution of the Soviet Union, and Commonwealth of Independent States Leaders of the Soviet Republics sign the Belovezha Accords which eliminated the USSR and established the Commonwealth of Independent States, 1991. Gorbachev 's permissive attitude toward Central and Eastern Europe did not initially extend to Soviet territory ; even Bush, who strove to maintain friendly relations, condemned the January 1991 killings in Latvia and Lithuania, privately warning that economic ties would be frozen if the violence continued. The USSR was fatally weakened by a failed coup and a growing number of Soviet republics, particularly Russia, who threatened to secede from the USSR. The Commonwealth of Independent States, created on 21 December 1991, is viewed as a successor entity to the Soviet Union but, according to Russia 's leaders, its purpose was to `` allow a civilized divorce '' between the Soviet Republics and is comparable to a loose confederation. The USSR was declared officially dissolved on 26 December 1991. US President at that time, George H.W. Bush, expressed his emotions : `` The biggest thing that has happened in the world in my life, in our lives, is this : By the grace of God, America won the Cold War. '' Aftermath Main articles : Effects of the Cold War, Frozen conflict, Post-Soviet states, Post-Soviet conflicts, Yugoslav Wars, and Cold War II Changes in national boundaries after the end of the Cold War. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Russia drastically cut military spending, and restructuring the economy left millions unemployed. The capitalist reforms culminated in a recession in the early 1990s more severe than the Great Depression as experienced by the United States and Germany. In the 25 years following the end of the Cold War, only five or six of the post-communist states are on a path to joining the rich and capitalist world while most are falling behind, some to such an extent that it will take several decades to catch up to where they were before the collapse of communism. The Cold War continues to influence world affairs. The post-Cold War world is considered to be unipolar, with the United States the sole remaining superpower. The Cold War defined the political role of the United States after World War II -- by 1989 the United States had military alliances with 50 countries, with 526,000 troops stationed abroad, with 326,000 in Europe ( two - thirds of which in west Germany ) and 130,000 in Asia ( mainly Japan and South Korea ). The Cold War also marked the zenith of peacetime military -- industrial complexes, especially in the United States, and large - scale military funding of science. These complexes, though their origins may be found as early as the 19th century, snowballed considerably during the Cold War. Since the end of the Cold War, the EU has expanded eastwards into the former Warsaw Pact and parts of the former Soviet Union Cumulative U.S. military expenditures throughout the entire Cold War amounted to an estimated $8 trillion. Further nearly 100,000 Americans lost their lives in the Korean and Vietnam Wars. Although Soviet casualties are difficult to estimate, as a share of their gross national product the financial cost for the Soviet Union was much higher than that incurred by the United States. In addition to the loss of life by uniformed soldiers, millions died in the superpowers ' proxy wars around the globe, most notably in Southeast Asia. Most of the proxy wars and subsidies for local conflicts ended along with the Cold War ; interstate wars, ethnic wars, revolutionary wars, as well as refugee and displaced persons crises have declined sharply in the post-Cold War years. Left over from the Cold War are numbers stations, which are shortwave radio stations thought to be used to broadcast covert messages, some of which can still be heard today. However, the aftermath of the Cold War is not always easily erased, as many of the economic and social tensions that were exploited to fuel Cold War competition in parts of the Third World remain acute. The breakdown of state control in a number of areas formerly ruled by communist governments produced new civil and ethnic conflicts, particularly in the former Yugoslavia. In Central and Eastern Europe, the end of the Cold War has ushered in an era of economic growth and an increase in the number of liberal democracies, while in other parts of the world, such as Afghanistan, independence was accompanied by state failure. In popular culture See also : Culture during the Cold War During the Cold War itself, with the United States and the Soviet Union invested heavily in propaganda designed to influence the hearts and minds of people around the world, especially using motion pictures. The Cold War endures as a popular topic reflected extensively in entertainment media, and continuing to the present with numerous post-1991 Cold War - themed feature films, novels, television, and other media. In 2013, a KGB - sleeper - agents - living - next - door action drama series, The Americans, set in the early 1980s, was ranked # 6 on the Metacritic annual Best New TV Shows list ; its six - season run concluded in May of 2018. At the same time, movies like Crimson Tide ( 1995 ) are shown in their entirety to educate college students about the Cold War.

In particular, historians have sharply disagreed as to who was responsible for the breakdown of Soviet -- US relations after the Second World War ; and whether the conflict between the two superpowers was inevitable, or could have been avoided. Historians have also disagreed on what exactly the Cold War was, what the sources of the conflict were, and how to disentangle patterns of action and reaction between the two sides. Although explanations of the origins of the conflict in academic discussions are complex and diverse, several general schools of thought on the subject can be identified. Historians commonly speak of three differing approaches to the study of the Cold War : `` orthodox '' accounts, `` revisionism '', and `` post-revisionism ''. `` Orthodox '' accounts place responsibility for the Cold War on the Soviet Union and its expansion further into Europe. `` Revisionist '' writers place more responsibility for the breakdown of post-war peace on the United States, citing a range of US efforts to isolate and confront the Soviet Union well before the end of World War II. `` Post-revisionists '' see the events of the Cold War as more nuanced, and attempt to be more balanced in determining what occurred during the Cold War. Much of the historiography on the Cold War weaves together two or even all three of these broad categories.

According to the journalist Kathy Kadane, `` As many as 5,000 names were furnished over a period of months to the Army there, and the Americans later checked off the names of those who had been killed or captured. '' Despite Martens later denials of any such intent, these actions almost certainly aided in the death or detention of many innocent people. They also sent a powerful message that the US government agreed with and supported the army 's campaign against the PKI, even as that campaign took its terrible toll in human lives.

Washington did everything in its power to encourage and facilitate the army - led massacre of alleged PKI members, and U.S. officials worried only that the killing of the party 's unarmed supporters might not go far enough, permitting Sukarno to return to power and frustrate the ( Johnson ) Administration 's emerging plans for a post-Sukarno Indonesia. This was efficacious terror, an essential building block of the neoliberal policies that the West would attempt to impose on Indonesia after Sukarno 's ouster.

Thambidurai Website Speaker 's Official Website The Speaker of the Lok Sabha is the presiding officer of the Lok Sabha, the lower house of the Parliament of India. The speaker is elected in the very first meeting of the Lok Sabha following general elections. Serving for a term of five years, the Speaker chosen from amongst the members of the Lok Sabha, and is by convention a member of the ruling party or alliance. The current speaker is Sumitra Mahajan of the Bharatiya Janata Party, who is presiding over the 16th Lok Sabha. She is the second woman to hold the office, after her immediate predecessor Meira Kumar. Contents ( hide ) 1 Powers and functions of the Speaker 2 Removal of the Speaker 3 Protem Speaker 4 List of Speakers 5 References 6 External links Powers and functions of the Speaker ( edit ) The Speaker of the Lok Sabha conducts the business in house ; and decides whether a bill is a money bill or not. They maintain discipline and decorum in the house and can punish a member for their unruly behaviour by suspending them. They also permit the moving of various kinds of motions and resolutions such as a motion of no confidence, motion of adjournment, motion of censure and calling attention notice as per the rules. The Speaker decides on the agenda to be taken up for discussion during the meeting. The date of election of speaker is fixed by the President. Further, all comments and speeches made by members of the House are addressed to the speaker. The speaker also presides over the joint sitting of both Houses of Parliament. The counterpart of the Speaker in the Rajya Sabha is the Chairman, who is the Vice President of India. In the warrant of precedence, the speaker of Lok Sabha comes next only to The Deputy Prime Minister of India. Speaker has the sixth rank in the political executive of India Removal of the Speaker ( edit ) Speaker can be removed by the Lok Sabha by a resolution passed by an effective majority of the House as per Articles 94 and 96. Speaker is also removed on getting disqualified for being Lok Sabha member under sections 7 & 8 of Representation of the People Act, 1951. This would arise out of speaker 's wrong certification of a bill as money bill inconsistent with the definition given in Articles 110 of the constitution. When courts uphold the unconstitutional act of the speaker for wrong certification of a bill as money bill, it amounts to disrespecting the constitution deserving conviction under Prevention of Insults to National Honour Act, 1971 which is applicable for disqualification of speaker 's Lok Sabha membership under section 8k of Representation of the People Act, 1951. However the omissions in the procedure committed by the speaker in the Lok Sabha can not be challenged in court of law per Article 122 Protem Speaker ( edit ) After a general election and the formation of a new government, a list of senior Lok Sabha members prepared by the Legislative Section is submitted to the Minister of Parliamentary Affairs, who selects a protem speaker. The appointment has to be approved by the president. The first meeting after the election when the Speaker and the Deputy Speaker are selected by members of the Parliament is held under the pro tem Speaker. In absence of the Speaker, the Deputy Speaker acts as Speaker and in the absence of both a committee of six member selected by the Speaker will act as Speaker according to their seniority.

The series was created in 2012 by Joseph Fink and Jeffrey Cranor. Published by Night Vale Presents since March 15, 2015, the podcast was previously published by Commonplace Books. Cecil Gershwin Palmer -- the host, main character, and narrator -- is voiced by Cecil Baldwin, while secondary characters are sometimes voiced by guest stars -- such as Dylan Marron, who voices Carlos. The podcast typically airs on the first and fifteenth of every month, and consists of `` news, announcements and advertisements '' from the desert town, located `` somewhere in the Southwestern United States. '' In an interview with NPR, Joseph Fink said that he `` came up with this idea of a town in that desert where all conspiracy theories were real, and we would just go from there with that understood.

See also : List of Welcome to Night Vale episodes Every episode of the podcast includes a piece of music as `` the weather '', each by a different independently published artist. The theme and background instrumental music to the series were created by the musician and composer Disparition. In October 2013, Welcome to Night Vale began presenting live shows, which continued into 2014 with a tour of the West Coast. In addition, it was announced during the episode `` The Auction '' that a novel would be published in 2015. Fink stated that `` it 's going to have all the characters and weird atmosphere that you want from Night Vale, with a brand new story that explores parts of Night Vale that we just have n't been able to get into with the podcast ''. When the book became available for pre-order the following March, it became Amazon 's # 2 title seven months ahead of its October release date. Welcome to Night Vale 's plot consists of longform storytelling. Individual episodes usually function as standalone narratives and only rarely contain significant developments in storyline. The writers employ running jokes and plot arcs, advanced slowly through the events described in the podcast. For example, The Glow Cloud, one of the series ' most iconic characters, hypnotizes the townspeople with its colors and noxious gas, making people chant `` ALL HAIL THE MIGHTY GLOW CLOUD '', and eventually becomes president of Night Vale 's school board. Another running joke is that the job with the highest death rate is being an intern at the radio station ; the only interns and former interns who are currently alive include ( in order of appearance ) Cecil, Chad Bowinger, Dana Cardinal, Maureen, Vithya and Kareem. Characters and narratives may emerge and develop slowly, while unrelated stories may combine to form new plot points. Major stories which have occurred include the development of a romantic relationship between Cecil and Carlos ; the stranding of several characters, including Carlos, in a `` desert otherworld '' ; the invasion of Night Vale by the corporation StrexCorp, from the rival town of Desert Bluffs, and StrexCorp 's eventual expulsion from Night Vale ; the 2014 mayoral elections, with subsequent terrorist activities by failed mayoral candidates The Faceless Old Woman Who Secretly Lives in Your Home and Hiram McDaniels ; and the complications surrounding McDaniels ' subsequent imprisonment and trial. The series ' fourth anniversary in June 2016 coincided with a two - part climax to the most recent storyline : the invasion of Night Vale by mysterious strangers, led by a demonic beagle puppy accidentally summoned from Hell by Chad Bowinger, a former radio intern. The early plot point of a miniature city buried under the town 's bowling alley resurfaced after this, in addition to the sporadic appearance of Huntokar, a deer - headed deity with connections to both the tiny city and Night Vale 's unusual nature.

'' Novels ( edit ) Welcome to Night Vale ( edit ) Main article : Welcome to Night Vale ( novel ) In October 2015 Fink and Cranor released a novel by the same name, Welcome to Night Vale. It is told primarily from the viewpoints of Jackie Fierro and Diane Crayton, both citizens of Night Vale who have been featured in the podcast. Critical reception for the book has been positive. It Devours! ( edit ) In the March 15, 2017 episode of the podcast, Fink announced a second novel, titled It Devours!, which will deal with Carlos and his team of scientists investigating the Cult of the Smiling God. It will be released October 17, 2017. Night Vale Presents podcasts ( edit ) Night Vale Presents, the overall banner for the Welcome to Night Vale podcast, began launching more serial fiction podcasts in early 2016. The first, Alice Is n't Dead, was written by Night Vale cowriter Joseph Fink, and was performed by Jasika Nicole, who played Dana on Night Vale. The story was presented as monologues broadcast over a trucker CB radio, as a woman drives a truck across America, looking for her missing wife. The first season of 10 episodes was released between March and July, 2016, and a second season began airing in April 2017. The second Night Vale Presents podcast was Within the Wires, written by Night Vale cowriter Jeffrey Cranor and Janina Matthewson, who also performed the lead character. This story was told as a series of relaxation tapes prepared for a patient in a mysterious medical center known as `` The Institute. '' As the story unfolds, it became clear that the narrator of the tapes had a connection to the patient, and may have had a secret agenda. The first season of 10 episodes was released between June and November, 2016. A third podcast, The Orbiting Human Circus ( of the Air ), was released October 12, 2016. This podcast was written by and stars musician Julian Koster. Reception ( edit ) The show has been described as `` the news from Lake Wobegon as seen through the eyes of Stephen King '', and Christopher Wynn of The Dallas Morning News characterized it as `` NPR meets The Mothman Prophecies ''. The Daily Dot 's Gavia Baker - Whitelaw compared the podcast to being `` caught somewhere between Weird Twitter and ' Tales of the Unexplained ' '' and said that it is `` well worth a listen -- although possibly not after dark, if you live in a small town yourself ''. Colin Griffith of The A.V. Club said the show is `` really well done, offering a surrealist / absurdist ( and occasionally existentialist ) take on community radio, with dispatches from the small, delectably nightmarish desert town of Night Vale ''. Writing for TechGeek, Erin Hill considered the uniqueness of the podcast to be `` its presentation of what is ordinary '', adding that `` many of the things that Cecil reports goes against our idea of normal, but ( everything ) is presented in a manner that makes it seem mundane ''. In July 2013, Welcome to Night Vale was ranked second on the top 10 audio podcasts list on iTunes, behind radio program This American Life. During the same month, it surpassed This American Life to become first on the podcasts list, having received 150,000 downloads during a single week. In December 2013, The A.V. Club ranked the show 7th on its Best Podcasts of 2013 list. Co-producer Jeffrey Cranor attributed this spike in popularity to both Tumblr and fans of the television series Hannibal. Max Sebela, a creative strategist for Tumblr, stated that the fan following began to `` spiral out of control '' beginning on July 5, with that week having `` 20,000 - plus posts about ' Night Vale, ' with 183,000 - plus individual blogs participating in the conversation, and 680,000 - plus notes ''. The Twitter account for the podcast has been noted as having more than 20,000 followers by July 2013. According to The Daily Dot, new listeners primarily come through fan following and word of mouth primarily on Tumblr with fan fiction and fan art focusing on the romantic relationship between the show 's narrator and scientist Carlos. Fans have published `` fanscripts '', transcripts of the podcast, in order to widen the accessibility of Welcome to Night Vale. On October 15, 2015 producers Joseph Fink and Jeffrey Cranor were interviewed on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and Cecil Baldwin appeared for a Community Calendar public service message for Night Vale. Mike Rugnetta of PBS 's web show Idea Channel compares the show to horror writer H.P. Lovecraft 's style of writing about fear of what we do n't know. He says `` But Night Vale turns Lovecraft 's ' unimaginable terror ' into ' drab mundanity '. '' References ( edit ) Jump up ^ `` WELCOME TO NIGHT VALE ''. Disparition.

{ "text": "Do n't throw the baby out with the bathwater - wikipedia Do n't throw the baby out with the bathwater Jump to : navigation, search Do n't throw the baby out with the bathwater is an idiomatic expression for an avoidable error in which something good is eliminated when trying to get rid of something bad, or in other words, rejecting the favorable along with the unfavorable. A slightly different explanation suggests that this flexible catchphrase has to do with discarding the essential while retaining the superfluous because of excessive zeal. In other words, the idiom is applicable not only when throwing out the baby with the bathwater, but also when someone might throw out the baby and keep the bathwater. Contents ( hide ) 1 History 2 Alternative expressions 3 Notes 4 References 5 External links History ( edit ) Earliest record of the phrase from Narrenbeschwörung ( Appeal to Fools ) by Thomas Murner, 1512 This idiom derives from a German proverb, das Kind mit dem Bade ausschütten. The earliest record of this phrase is in 1512, in Narrenbeschwörung ( Appeal to Fools ) by Thomas Murner ; and this book includes a woodcut illustration showing a woman tossing a baby out with waste water. It is a common catchphrase in German, with examples of its use in work by Martin Luther, Johannes Kepler, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Otto von Bismarck, Thomas Mann, and Günter Grass. Thomas Carlyle adapted the concept in an 1849 essay on slavery : And if true, it is important for us, in reference to this Negro Question and some others. The Germans say, `` you must empty - out the bathing - tub, but not the baby along with it. '' Fling - out your dirty water with all zeal, and set it careening down the kennels ; but try if you can keep the little child! Carlyle is urging his readers to join in the struggle to end slavery, but he also encourages them to be mindful of the need to try to avoid harming the slaves themselves in the process. Some claim the phrase originates from a time when the whole household shared the same bath water. The head of household ( Lord ) would bathe first, followed by the men, then the Lady and the women, then the children, followed lastly by the baby. The water would be so black from dirt that a baby could be accidentally `` tossed out with the bathwater ''. Others state there is no historical evidence that there is any connection with the practice of several family members using the same bath water, the baby being bathed last.

The film received generally positive reviews from critics and, at the 75th Academy Awards, it was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. A sleeper hit, the film became the highest - grossing romantic comedy of all time, and grossed $241.4 million in North America, despite never reaching number one at the box office during its release. It was the highest - grossing film to accomplish this feat until the animated film Sing grossed $268 million in 2016. The film inspired the short - lived 2003 TV series My Big Fat Greek Life and a film sequel titled My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2, which was released on March 25, 2016.

The daughter of staunchly proud Greek immigrants, she was raised to follow her cultural tradition of marriage and motherhood. Her golden - child sister Athena met her family 's expectations by marrying young to another Greek and becoming, in Toula 's words, `` a Greek baby - breeding machine ''. Toula still lives with her parents and works at Dancing Zorba 's, her family 's restaurant in Chicago. Toula longs for her own life away from the restaurant and her intrusive family. Frumpy and cynical, she fears her life will never change. One day at the restaurant, Toula notices a handsome young customer -- Ian Miller, a school teacher. She tries to speak to him, only to embarrass herself with her social awkwardness. Ian is bewildered by her behavior, and Toula figures she 's lost her chance to get to know him. Toula 's idea for independence is taking computer classes at a community college. When Toula approaches her father Gus about the classes, he forbids it, thinking she wants to leave her family. He insists she 's `` smart enough for a girl '' and it is too dangerous for her to be out in the city alone. After some crafty persuasion by his wife, Maria, Gus reluctantly permits Toula to attend classes. As her classes progress, Toula gains self - confidence. She trades her thick glasses for contact lenses and her baggy, drab clothes for flattering, colorful outfits. She updates her hairdo and learns to apply makeup. With her new computer skills and polished image, Toula asks her mother and her Aunt Voula to convince Gus that Toula should work at Voula 's travel agency instead of the restaurant. Toula thrives in her new job, and one day she sees Ian walking by the travel agency. He notices Toula, not recognizing that she is the same woman who tried to talk to him at Dancing Zorba 's. Despite Toula 's lingering shyness, they introduce themselves and begin dating. When Ian realizes Toula was the woman at the restaurant, Toula is sure Ian will lose interest. Instead, he loves her even more for who she is, and they become a couple. Because Ian is not Greek, Toula keeps the relationship secret from her family, but her parents find out when a family friend sees them kissing in a parking lot. As she feared, Gus is angry because Ian is not an ethnic Greek -- referring to Ian as a `` Xeno '' -- and both Gus and Maria tell Toula to end the relationship. Toula insists she loves Ian. Her parents try to dissuade her by bringing various Greek bachelors home to meet her, all to no avail. When Ian proposes to Toula, she happily accepts, but Gus is upset that Ian did not ask him for permission to date Toula, let alone marry her. Ian tries to adapt to the family 's Greek customs and mannerisms. Ian and Toula can not marry in the Greek Orthodox Church unless Ian coverts, and Toula is already worried the wedding will be a fiasco. She suggests to Ian that they elope instead. He refuses, saying it 's important to her family to marry in their religion, then he will be baptized Greek Orthodox. Ian 's willingness to do this encourages Gus and Maria to gradually accept Ian into the family. As Toula feared, her numerous well - meaning female relatives take over much of the wedding plans, while the men keep testing Ian. Her cousin Nikki selects tacky bridesmaids dresses without Toula 's permission ; her brother Nick semi-jokingly threatens Ian that he 'll kill him if he ever hurts Toula. Other cousins trick Ian into saying inappropriate things in Greek. When Toula invites Ian 's quiet, reserved parents to meet her parents at their home, she insists that it be a simple dinner with just the six of them. Toula and Ian arrive to find all of Toula 's extended family at the dinner, where they dance and drink for hours. Ian 's parents are unaware of Greek culture and are shocked by the family 's rambunctiousness. On the wedding day, Toula is nervous and surrounded by relatives, but the traditional Greek wedding goes perfectly. At the reception, Gus gives a speech accepting Ian and his parents as family. He then presents the newlyweds with a deed to a house. Both Ian and Toula are deeply touched by Gus 's generosity. Following the reception, Toula and Ian leave for a honeymoon in Greece, both appreciating the craziness of their Greek family. An epilogue shows the couple 's life six years later. Toula got pregnant `` a minute later '' after their honeymoon with their daughter Paris. As Ian and Toula are walking Paris from their house to Greek school, Paris asks why she has to go to Greek school. Toula replies that she had to go to Greek school as a child, so Paris will too. But she assures her that when the time comes, she can marry whomever she wants. As they walk, it is revealed that their home is next door to Toula 's parents. Cast ( edit ) Nia Vardalos as Fotoula `` Toula '' Portokalos - Miller John Corbett as Ian Miller Lainie Kazan as Maria Portokalos Michael Constantine as Kostas `` Gus '' Portokalos Andrea Martin as Aunt Voula Louis Mandylor as Nick Portokalos Gia Carides as Cousin Nikki Gerry Mendicino as Uncle Taki Joey Fatone as Cousin Angelo Bess Meisler as Yiayia ( Grandma ) Stavroula Logothettis as Athena Portokalos Ian Gomez as Mike, Ian 's best man ; he is Vardalos ' real - life husband Bruce Gray as Rodney Miller Fiona Reid as Harriet Miller Jayne Eastwood as Mrs. White Arielle Sugarman as Paris Miller Production ( edit ) Development ( edit ) My Big Fat Greek Wedding started as a one - woman play written by and starring Vardalos, performed for six weeks at the Hudson Backstage Theatre in Los Angeles in the summer of 1997. Vardalos later jokingly stated that she only wrote the play `` to get a better agent. '' The play was based on Vardalos 's own family in Winnipeg in Canada and on her experience marrying a non-Greek man ( actor Ian Gomez ). The play was popular, and was sold out for much of its run, in part due to Vardalos 's marketing it across Greek Orthodox churches in the area. A number of Hollywood executives and celebrities saw it, including actress Rita Wilson, who is herself of Greek origin ; Wilson convinced her husband, actor Tom Hanks, to see it as well. Vardalos began meeting various executives about making a film version of the play and began writing a screenplay as well. However, the meetings proved fruitless because the executives insisted on making changes that they felt would make the film more marketable, which Vardalos objected to : these included changing the plot, getting a known actress in the lead role ( Marisa Tomei was one name mentioned ), and changing the family 's ethnicity to Hispanic. Two months after the play 's initial run ended, Hanks 's production company, Playtone, contacted Vardalos about producing a film based on her vision for it ; they also agreed to remount the play in early 1998, this time at LA 's Globe Theatre. Hanks later said that casting Vardalos in the lead role `` brings a huge amount of integrity to the piece, because it 's Nia 's version of her own life and her own experience. I think that shows through on the screen and people recognize it. '' In 2000, while in Toronto doing pre-production for the film, Vardalos and Playtone producer Gary Goetzman overheard actor John Corbett ( who was in town shooting the film Serendipity ) at a bar, telling a friend of his about having read the script for My Big Fat Greek Wedding, and being upset that he could n't make the auditions. Vardalos and Goetzman approached Corbett and offered him the part of Ian Miller on the spot, which he accepted. Filming ( edit ) Parts of the film were shot in Greektown, Toronto Despite being based on life in the Greek community of Winnipeg, the film was set in Chicago and shot in both Toronto and Chicago. Toronto 's Ryerson University and Greektown neighborhood feature prominently in the film. The home used to depict Gus and Maria Portokalos ' residence ( as well as the home bought next door at the end of the film for Toula and Ian ) is located on Glenwood Crescent just off O'Connor Drive in East York. The real home representing the Portokalos ' residence actually has most of the external ornamentation that was shown in the film. Also, some minor parts of the movie were shot in Jarvis High School in Toronto. Release ( edit ) After a February 2002 premiere, it was initially released in the United States via a limited release on April 19, 2002 before receiving a wider release worldwide over the summer, including a wide release in the United States on August 2. Box Office performance ( edit ) My Big Fat Greek Wedding became a sleeper hit and grew steadily from its limited release. Despite never hitting the number one spot and being an independent film with a $5 million budget, it ultimately grossed over $368.7 million worldwide, becoming one of the top romantic films of the 21st century according to Echo Bridge Entertainment. It was the fifth highest - grossing film of 2002 in the United States and Canada, with USD $241,438,208, and the highest - grossing romantic comedy in history. Domestically, it also held the record for the highest - grossing film never having been number one on the weekly North American box office charts, until the release of the 2016 animated film, Sing. The film is among the most profitable of all time, with a 6150 % return on a ( inflation adjusted ) cost of $6 million to produce. Critical reception ( edit ) On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating 76 % based on 121 reviews, with an average rating of 6.7 / 10. The site 's critical consensus reads, `` Though it sometimes feels like a television sitcom, My Big Fat Greek Wedding is good - hearted, lovable, and delightfully eccentric, with a sharp script and lead performance from Nia Vardalos. '' On Metacritic, which assigns a rating out to reviews, the film has an average score of 62 out of 100, based on 29 critics, indicating `` generally favorable reviews ''. Accolades ( edit ) 2008 : AFI 's 10 Top 10 : Nominated Romantic Comedy Film 10th - anniversary edition ( edit ) In 2012, a 10th anniversary edition of the film was released via DVD and Blu - ray. The edition contains a digital copy of the film and features deleted scenes as well as a 30 - minute retrospective with Vardalos and Corbett. Lawsuit ( edit ) The cast ( with the exception of Vardalos, who had a separate deal ), as well as Hanks ' production company, Playtone, later sued the studio for their part of the profits, charging that Gold Circle Films was engaging in so - called `` Hollywood accounting '' practices. Legacy ( edit ) Television series ( edit ) Main article : My Big Fat Greek Life The film inspired the brief 2003 TV series My Big Fat Greek Life, with most of the major characters played by the same actors, with the exception of Steven Eckholdt replacing Corbett as the husband. Corbett had already signed on to the TV series Lucky. He was scheduled to appear as the best friend of his replacement 's character, but the show was cancelled before he appeared. The show received poor reviews from critics noting the random character entrances and serious plot `` adjustments '' that did not match the film. The seven episodes from the series are available on DVD from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, whose TV studio division produced the show. Sequel ( edit ) Main article : My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 In a 2009 interview for her film My Life in Ruins, asked about a possible sequel for My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Vardalos stated that she had an idea for a sequel and had started writing it, hinting that, like Ruins, the film would be set in Greece. Asked about a sequel again in a November 2012 interview, she stated, `` Well, actually, yes. And it 's only now that I 've really become open to the idea. Over the years, I 've heard from everybody about what the sequel should be. People next to me at Starbucks would say, ' Hey, let me tell you my idea, ' and I 'd be like, ' Hey, I 'm just trying to get a cup of coffee. ' I never thought much about it. But then when John ( Corbett ) and I recently sat down to do that interview ( for the 10th anniversary edition ), we laughed so hard through the whole thing. It made me think that it 's time. He said, `` Come on, write something, will you? '' And I now think I will. We have such an easy chemistry together. And we have chemistry because we never ' did it. ' That 's the surefire way to kill chemistry in a scene. You have to make sure your actors do n't ' do it ' off - screen. If they do n't ' do it, ' then they 'll have chemistry on camera. '' On May 27, 2014, various news and media outlets reported that a sequel was in the works. Nia Vardalos later confirmed this via Twitter, and she also has written a script for the film. The first trailer for My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 was aired on NBC 's The Today Show on November 11, 2015 and it was released on March 25, 2016, to generally negative reviews and comparatively minor box office success to the original.

The song is the title track of their album of the same name and was released as the fourth and final single from the album in early 1983. The song became their breakthrough hit, establishing the duo worldwide. Its music video helped to propel the song to number 2 on the UK Singles Chart and number 1 on the US Billboard Hot 100. It was the first single released by Eurythmics in the US. `` Sweet Dreams ( Are Made of This ) '' is arguably Eurythmics ' signature song. Following its success, their previous single, `` Love Is a Stranger '', was re-released and also became a worldwide hit. On Rolling Stone 's The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time issue in 2003, `` Sweet Dreams ( Are Made of This ) '' was ranked number 356. Eurythmics has regularly performed the song in all their live sets since 1982, and it is often performed by Lennox on her solo tours. In 1991, the song was remixed and reissued to promote Eurythmics ' Greatest Hits album. It re-charted in the UK, reaching number 48, and was also a moderate hit in dance clubs. Another remix by Steve Angello was released in France in 2006, along with the track `` I 've Got a Life '' ( peaking at number 10 ).

Although the two of them also broke up as a couple, they continued to work together. They became interested in electronic music, bought new synthesisers and started playing on it. According to Stewart, he managed to produce the beat and riff of the song on a synthesiser, and Lennox, on hearing it, said : `` What the hell is that? '' and started playing on another synthesiser, and beginnings of the song came out of the two duelling synths. According to Lennox, the lyrics reflected the unhappy time after the break up of The Tourists, when she felt that they were `` in a dream world '', and that whatever they were chasing was never going to happen. She said : `` '' Sweet dreams are made of this '' is basically me saying : `` Look at the state of us. How can it get worse? I was feeling very vulnerable. The song was an expression of how I felt : hopeless and nihilistic. '' Stewart however thought the lyrics too depressing, and added the `` hold your head up, moving on '' line to make it more uplifting. Lennox also said that people had misinterpreted lines like `` Some of them want to use you... some of them want to be abused '' to be about sex or S&M when that was not the intent. Recording ( edit ) The original recording 's main instrumentation featured a sequenced analog synthesizer riff, which Stewart accidentally discovered in the studio when he played a bass track backward. Apart from the synthesizer, the arrangement also uses a Movement Systems Drum Computer, a piano in the middle eight, and Lennox 's multitracked harmony vocals. According to Stewart, the record company did not think the song to be suitable as a single as it lacks a chorus, and did not want to release it as a single. However, when a radio DJ in Cleveland kept playing the song from the album and it received a strongly positive audience reaction, the label then decided to release it. Chart performance ( edit ) `` Sweet Dreams '' was Eurythmics ' commercial breakthrough in the United Kingdom and all over the world. The single entered the UK chart at number 63 in February 1983 and reached number two the following month. `` Sweet Dreams '' was the first ever single release by Eurythmics in the United States when it was released in May 1983. The single debuted at number 90 and slowly eased up the chart. By August, the single had reached number two and stayed there for four weeks, kept from the top by The Police 's `` Every Breath You Take '' before `` Sweet Dreams '' took the number one spot. Music video ( edit ) The music video for `` Sweet Dreams '' was directed by Chris Ashbrook and filmed in January 1983, shortly before the single and the album was released. The video received heavy airplay on the then - fledgling MTV channel and is widely considered a classic clip from the early - MTV era. The music video begins with a fist ( presumably Stewart 's ) pounding on a table, with the camera panning up to reveal Lennox in a boardroom, with images of a Saturn V launch projected on a screen behind her, which are later replaced by a shot of a crowd walking down a street. Stewart is shown typing on a computer ( actually an MCS drum computer ). The camera cuts to Lennox and Stewart meditating on the table. Stewart is next shown playing a cello in a field. The scene then returns to the boardroom, with Lennox and Stewart lying down on the table, and a cow walking around them. Stewart is shown again typing on the computer, with the cow chewing something right next to him. The scene cuts to the duo in a field, with a herd of cows, and Stewart still typing. Lennox and Stewart are then seen floating in a boat, with Stewart again playing a cello. The video ends with Lennox lying in bed, with the last shot being a book on a nightstand bearing a cover identical to the album. The screen then fades to black as Lennox turns off the bedside lamp. The video has more than 210 million views on YouTube as of May, 2018. Lennox 's androgynous visual image, with close - cropped, orange - coloured hair, and attired in a man 's suit brandishing a cane, immediately made her a household name. Her gender - bending image would be further explored in other Eurythmics videos such as `` Love Is a Stranger '' and `` Who 's That Girl? ''. A second video was also produced, featuring Lennox and Stewart on a train. A close - up shot of Lennox 's lips is occasionally seen in the train car 's window as she sings the song.

This version became an MTV staple and helped to establish the band in the mainstream. Their groundbreaking video was directed by Dean Karr and produced by Arthur Gorson. It also appears on the band 's greatest hits album, Lest We Forget : The Best Of. This version is featured on the soundtracks to the films Enron : The Smartest Guys in the Room ( 2005 ) and Gamer ( 2009 ). It is also featured in the films House on Haunted Hill ( 1999 ), Trick ' r Treat ( 2007 ), the trailer to Wrath of the Titans ( 2012 ), in the pilot of The Following and on the BBC drama Luther. In Manson 's autobiography, The Long Hard Road Out of Hell, he states that Nothing Records did not want to release this as a single. They wanted to release their cover of Screamin ' Jay Hawkins ' `` I Put a Spell on You '', which, according to Manson, `` was far too dark, sprawling and esoteric, even for some of our fans. '' Marilyn Manson added some extra lines to the lyrics that are not present in the Eurythmics version : `` I wan na use you and abuse you / I wan na know what 's inside you '' along with `` I 'm gon na use you and abuse you / I got ta know what 's inside you. '' The video for Manson 's cover contains several clips of Manson and bandmates in what appears to be an abandoned building. In between the clips are a number of surreal shots of Manson wearing a wedding gown, Manson wandering around an abandoned street in a tutu, birds fluttering around him and leaving droppings on his body, and of him riding a pig wearing a cowboy hat and covered with mud. In 2010 the music video was rated the `` Scariest music video ever made '' by Billboard, beating Michael Jackson 's Thriller for the top spot. Dave Stewart has said that he liked Marilyn Manson 's version of his song and that `` the video was one of the scariest things ( he ) 'd seen at the time.

{ "text": "Catholic Church in England and Wales - wikipedia Catholic Church in England and Wales Jump to : navigation, search Not to be confused with Catholic Church in the United Kingdom. Catholic Church in England and Wales Westminster Cathedral, London Classification Catholic Polity Episcopal Pope Pope Francis Archbishop Vincent Nichols Apostolic Nuncio Edward Joseph Adams Region England and Wales Language English, Welsh, Latin Headquarters Westminster Cathedral, City of Westminster, London Founder Augustine of Canterbury, by tradition Origin c. 200s : Christianity in Roman Britain c. 500s : Anglo - Saxon Christianity Separations Church of England ( 1534 / 1558 ) Members 4.2 million ( ~ 8 % ) The Catholic Church in England and Wales is part of the worldwide Catholic Church in full communion with the Pope. Celtic Christianity, with some traditions different from those of Rome, was present in Roman Britain from the first century AD, but after the departure of the Roman legions was in retreat to Paganism. In 597 AD, the first authoritative papal mission, establishing a direct link from the Kingdom of Kent to the See of Rome and to the Benedictine form of monasticism, was carried into effect by Augustine of Canterbury. The English Church continuously adhered to the See of Rome for almost a thousand years from the time of Augustine of Canterbury, but in 1534, during the reign of King Henry VIII, the church, through a series of legislative acts between 1533 and 1536 became independent from the Pope for a period as the Church of England, a national church with Henry declaring himself Supreme Head. Under Henry 's son, King Edward VI, the Church of England became more influenced by the European Protestant movement. The English Church was brought back under full papal authority in 1553, at the beginning of the reign of Queen Mary I, and Catholicism was enforced by the Marian persecutions ; however, when Queen Elizabeth I came to the throne in 1558, the Church of England 's independence from Rome was reasserted through the settlement of 1559, which shifted the Church of England 's teaching and practice, and in the Act of Uniformity, which caused a rift between Catholics and Queen. In 1570 Pope Pius V responded, in his bull Regnans in Excelsis, calling on all Catholics to rebel against Elizabeth and excommunicating anyone who obeyed her. The Parliament of England made the fact of being a Jesuit or seminarian treasonable in 1571. Priests found celebrating Mass were often hanged, drawn and quartered, rather than being burned at the stake. The Catholic Church ( along with other non-established churches ) continued in England, although it was at times subject to various forms of persecution. Most recusant members ( except those in diaspora on the Continent, in heavily Catholic areas in the north, or part of the aristocracy ) practised their faith in private for all practical purposes. In 1766, the Pope recognised the English Monarchy as lawful, and this led eventually to the Roman Catholic Relief Act 1829. Dioceses ( replacing districts ) were re-established by Pope Pius IX in 1850. Along with the 22 Latin Rite dioceses, there are the Eastern Catholic diocese of the Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of Holy Family of London and the Syro - Malabar Catholic Eparchy of Great Britain. At the 2001 United Kingdom census, there were 4.2 million Catholics in England and Wales, some eight per cent of the population. One hundred years earlier, in 1901, they represented only 4.8 per cent of the population. In 1981, 8.7 per cent of the population of England and Wales were Catholic. In 2009, an Ipsos Mori poll found that 9.6 per cent, or 5.2 million persons of all ethnicities were Catholic in England and Wales. Sizeable populations include North West England where one in five is Catholic, a result of large - scale Irish immigration in the nineteenth century as well as the high number of English recusants in Lancashire.

Much of Great Britain was incorporated into the Roman Empire in 43 AD, after Claudius led the Roman conquest of Britain, conquering lands inhabited by Celtic Britons. The indigenous religious traditions of the Britons, under their priests the Druids were suppressed ; most notably Gaius Suetonius Paulinus launched an attack on Ynys Môn in 60 AD and destroyed the shrine and sacred groves there. In the years following this, Roman influence saw the importation of several religious cults into Britain, including Roman mythology, Mithraism and the imperial cult. One of these sects, then disapproved by the Roman authorities, was the Levantine - originated religion of Christianity. While it is unclear exactly how it arrived, the earliest British figures considered saints by the Christians are St. Alban, followed by Ss. Julius and Aaron, living in the 3rd century. Eventually, the position of the Roman authorities on Christianity moved from hostility, to toleration with the Edict of Milan in 313 AD and then enforcement as state religion following the Edict of Thessalonica in 380 AD, becoming a key component of Romano - British culture and society. Records note that Romano - British bishops, such as Restitutus, attended the Council of Arles in 314, which confirmed the theological findings of an earlier convocation held in Rome ( the Council of Rome ) in 313. The Roman departure from Britain in the following century and the subsequent Germanic invasions sharply decreased contact between Britain and Continental Europe. Christianity, however, continued to flourish in the Brittonic areas of Great Britain. During this period certain practices and traditions took hold in Britain and in Ireland that are collectively known as Celtic Christianity. Distinct features of Celtic Christianity include a unique monastic tonsure and calculations for the date of Easter. Regardless of these differences, historians do not consider this Celtic or British Christianity a distinct church separate from general Western European Christianity. Conversion of the Anglo - Saxons ( edit ) In 597, Pope Gregory I sent Augustine of Canterbury and 40 missionaries from Rome to evangelise the Anglo - Saxons, a process completed by the 7th century. The Gregorian mission, as it is known, is of particular interest in the Catholic Church as it was the first official Papal mission to found a church. With the help of Christians already residing in Kent, Augustine established an archbishopric in Canterbury, the old capital of Kent, and, having received the pallium earlier ( linking his new diocese to Rome ), became the first in the series of Catholic archbishops of Canterbury, four of whom ( Laurence, Mellitus, Justus and Honorius ) were part of the original band of Benedictine missionaries. ( The last Catholic archbishop of Canterbury was Reginald Pole, who died in 1558. ) During this time of mission, Rome pursued greater unity with the local church in Britain, particularly on the question of dating Easter. Columbanus, Columba 's fellow countryman and churchman, had asked for a papal judgement on the Easter question as did abbots and bishops of Ireland. Later, in his Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum, Bede explained the reasons for the discrepancy : `` He ( Columba ) left successors distinguished for great charity, Divine love, and strict attention to the rules of discipline following indeed uncertain cycles in the computation of the great festival of Easter, because far away as they were out of the world, no one had supplied them with the synodal decrees relating to the Paschal observance. '' A series of synods were held to resolve the matter, culminating with the Synod of Whitby in 644. The missionaries also introduced the Rule of Benedict, the continental rule, to Anglo - Saxon monasteries in England. Wilfrid, a Benedictine consecrated archbishop of York ( in 664 ), was particularly skilled in promoting the Benedictine Rule. Over time, the Benedictine, continental rule engrafted upon the monasteries and parishes of England, drawing them closer to The Continent and Rome. As a result, the pope was often called upon to intervene in quarrels, affirm monarchs, and decide jurisdictions. In 787, for example, Pope Adrian I elevated Lichfield to an archdiocese and appointed Hygeberht its first archbishop. Later, in 808, Pope Leo III helped restore King Eardwulf of Northumbria to his throne ; and in 859, Pope Leo IV confirmed and anointed Alfred the Great king, according to Anglo - Saxon Chronicle. Individual Benedictines seemed to play an important role throughout this period. For example, before Benedictine monk St. Dunstan was consecrated archbishop of Canterbury in 960, Pope John XII had him appointed legate, commissioning him ( along with Ethelwold and Oswald ) to restore discipline in the existing monasteries of England, many of which were destroyed by Danish invaders. Norman Church in England and Wales ( edit ) Our Lady of Walsingham Control of the English Church passed from the Anglo - Saxons to the Normans following the Norman conquest of England. The two clerics most prominent associated with this process were the continental - born Lanfranc and Anselm ; both men were Benedictines. Anselm later became a Doctor of the Church. A century later, Pope Innocent III had to confirm the primacy of Canterbury over four Welsh churches for many reasons, but primarily to sustain the importance of the Gregorian foundation of Augustine 's mission. During mediaeval times, England and Wales were part of western Christendom. During this period, monasteries and convents, such as those at Shaftesbury and Shrewsbury, were prominent features of society providing lodging, hospitals and education. Likewise, schools like Oxford University and Cambridge University were important. Members of religious orders, notably the Dominicans and Franciscans, settled in both schools and maintained houses for students. Clerics like Archbishop Walter de Merton founded Merton College at Oxford and three different popes -- Gregory IX, Nicholas IV, and John XXII -- gave Cambridge the legal protection and status to compete with other European medieval universities. Pilgrimage was a prominent feature of mediaeval Catholicism, and England and Wales were amply provided with many popular sites of pilgrimage. The village of Walsingham, Norfolk became an important shrine after a noblewoman called Richeldis de Faverches experienced a vision of the Virgin Mary in 1061, asking her to build a replica of the Holy House at Nazareth. In 1170, Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury was murdered in Canterbury Cathedral, by followers of King Henry II and was quickly canonised as a martyr for the faith. This resulted in Canterbury becoming a major place of pilgrimage and inspired the Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer. There were also shrines at Holywell in Wales which commemorated St Winefride and at Westminster Abbey to Edward the Confessor to name but a few. An Englishman, Nicholas Breakspear, became Pope Adrian IV, ruling from 1154 to 1159. Fifty - six years later, Cardinal Stephen Langton, the first of English cardinals and later Archbishop of Canterbury ( 1208 -- 28 ), became a pivotal figure in the dispute between King John and Pope Innocent III. This critical situation led to the signing and later promulgation of the Magna Charta in 1215. Protestantism and Catholic resistance ( edit ) A banner showing the Holy Wounds of Jesus Christ which was carried by partisans during the Pilgrimage of Grace. England remained a Catholic country until 1534, when it first officially separated from Rome during the reign of King Henry VIII. In response to the Pope 's refusal to annul Henry 's marriage to Catherine of Aragon, Parliament denied the Pope 's authority over the English Church, made the king Head of the Church in England, and dissolved the monasteries and religious orders in England. Henry did not himself accept Protestant innovations in doctrine or liturgy -- but he extended toleration, and even promotion, to clergy with Protestant sympathies in return for support for his break with Rome. On the other hand, failure to accept this break, particularly by prominent persons in church and state, was regarded by Henry as treason, resulting in the execution of Thomas More, former Lord Chancellor, and John Fisher, Bishop of Rochester, among others. The See of Rome Act 1536 enforced the separation from Rome, while the ' Pilgrimage of Grace ' of 1536 and ' Bigod 's Rebellion ' of 1537, risings in the North against the religious changes, were bloodily repressed. In 1536 - 41 Henry VIII engaged in a large - scale Dissolution of the Monasteries, which controlled most of the wealth of the church, and much of the richest land. He disbanded monasteries, priories, convents and friaries in England, Wales and Ireland, appropriated their income, disposed of their assets, and provided pensions for the former residents. He did not turn these properties over to a Protestant church of England ( which indeed did not yet exist ) : they were sold, mostly to pay for the wars. The historian G.W. Bernard argues : The dissolution of the monasteries in the late 1530s was one of the most revolutionary events in English history. There were nearly 900 religious houses in England, around 260 for monks, 300 for regular canons, 142 nunneries and 183 friaries ; some 12,000 people in total, 4,000 monks, 3,000 canons, 3,000 friars and 2,000 nuns... one adult man in fifty was in religious orders. Nevertheless, Henry maintained a strong preference for traditional Catholic practices and, during his reign, Protestant reformers were unable to make many changes to the practices of the Church of England. Indeed, this part of Henry 's reign saw the trial for heresy of Protestants as well as Catholics. The 1547 to 1553 reign of the boy King Edward VI saw the Church of England become more influenced by Protestantism in its faith and worship, with the ( Latin ) Mass replaced by the ( English ) Book of Common Prayer, representational art and statues in church buildings destroyed, and Catholic practices which had survived during Henry 's reign, for instance the public saying of prayers to the Virgin Mary such as the Salve Regina, ended. The Western Rising took place in 1549. The institutional Church in England returned to Catholic practice during the reign of the Catholic Queen Mary I from 1553 to 1558. Mary was determined to bring back the whole of England to the Catholic faith. This aim was not necessarily at odds with the feeling of a large section of the populace ; Edward 's Protestant reformation had not been well received everywhere, and there was ambiguity in the responses of the parishes. Mary also had some powerful families behind her. The Jerningham family together with other East Anglian Catholic families such as the Bedingfelds, Waldegraves, Rochesters together with the Huddlestons of Sawston Hall were `` the key to Queen Mary 's successful accession to the throne. Without them she would never have made it. '' However, Mary 's executions of 300 Protestants by burning at the stake proved counterproductive, as they were extremely unpopular among the populace. For example, instead of executing Archbishop Cranmer for treason for supporting Queen Jane, she had him tried for heresy and burned at a stake. With the assistance of Foxe 's Book of Martyrs, which glorified the Protestants killed at the time and vilified Catholics, this practice ensured her a place in popular memory as Bloody Mary -- for centuries after the idea of another reconciliation with Rome was linked in many English people 's minds with a renewal of Mary 's fiery stakes. When Mary died and Elizabeth I became queen in 1558, the religious situation in England was confused. Throughout the see - sawing religious landscape of the reigns of Henry VIII, Edward VI, and Mary I, a significant proportion of the population ( especially in the rural and outlying areas of the country ), are likely to have continued to hold Catholic views, at least in private. By the end of Elizabeth I 's reign, however, England was clearly a Protestant country, and Catholics were a minority. Elizabeth 's first act was to reverse her sister 's re-establishment of Catholicism by Acts of Supremacy and Uniformity. The Act of Supremacy of 1558 made it a crime to assert the authority of any foreign prince, prelate, or other authority, and was aimed at abolishing the authority of the Pope in England. A third offence was high treason, punishable by death. The Oath of Supremacy, imposed by the Act of Supremacy 1558, provided for any person taking public or church office in England to swear allegiance to the monarch as Supreme Governor of the Church of England. Failure to so swear was a crime, although it did not become treason until 1562, when the Supremacy of the Crown Act 1562 made a second offence of refusing to take the oath treason. However, during the first years of her reign there was relative leniency towards Catholics who were willing to keep their religion private, especially if they were prepared to continue to attend their parish churches. The wording of the official prayer book had been carefully designed to make this possible by omitting aggressively `` heretical '' matter, and at first many English Catholics did in fact worship with their Protestant neighbours, at least until this was formally forbidden by Pope Pius V 's 1570 bull, Regnans in Excelsis, which also declared that Elizabeth was not a rightful queen and should be deposed, formally excommunicated her and any who obeyed her and obliged all Catholics to attempt to overthrow her. In response, the `` Act to retain the Queen 's Majesty 's subjects in their obedience '', passed in 1581, made it high treason to reconcile anyone or to be reconciled to `` the Romish religion '', or to procure or publish any papal Bull or writing whatsoever. The celebration of mass was prohibited under penalty of a fine of two hundred marks and imprisonment for one year for the celebrant, and a fine of one hundred marks and the same imprisonment for those who heard the Mass. This act also increased the penalty for not attending the Anglican service to the sum of twenty pounds a month, or imprisonment till the fine be paid, or till the offender went to the Protestant Church. A further penalty of ten pounds a month was inflicted on anyone keeping a schoolmaster who did not attend the Protestant service. The schoolmaster himself was to be imprisoned for one year. In the setting of England 's wars with Catholic powers such as France and Spain, culminating in the attempted invasion by the Spanish Armada in 1588, the Papal bull unleashed a nationalistic feeling which equated Protestantism with loyalty to a highly popular monarch, rendering every Catholic a potential traitor, even in the eyes of those who were not themselves extreme Protestants. The Rising of the North, the Throckmorton plot and the Babington plot, together with other subversive activities of supporters of Mary, Queen of Scots, all reinforced the association of Catholicism and treachery in the popular mind. The climax of Elizabeth 's persecution of Catholics was reached in 1585 by the `` Act against Jesuits, Seminary priests and other such like disobedient persons ''. This statute, under which most of the English Catholic martyrs were executed, made it high treason for any Jesuit or any seminary priest to be in England at all, and felony for any one to harbour or relieve them. The last of Elizabeth 's anti-Catholic laws was the `` Act for the better discovery of wicked and seditious persons terming themselves Catholics, but being rebellious and traitorous subjects ''. Its effect was to prohibit all recusants from removing more than five miles from their place of abode, and to order all persons suspected of being Jesuits or seminary priests, and not answering satisfactorily, to be imprisoned till they did so. However, Elizabeth did not believe that her anti-Catholic policies constituted religious persecution, finding it hard, in the context of the uncompromising wording of the Papal Bull against her, to distinguish between those Catholics engaged in conflict with her from those Catholics with no such designs. The number of English Catholics executed under Elizabeth was significant, including Edmund Campion, Robert Southwell, and Margaret Clitherow. Elizabeth herself signed the death warrant that led to regicide, the beheading of her cousin, Mary, Queen of Scots. Because of the persecution in England, Catholic priests in England were trained abroad at the English College in Rome, the English College in Douai, the English College at Valladolid in Spain, and at the English College in Seville. Given that Douai was located in the Spanish Netherlands, part of the dominions of Elizabethan England 's greatest enemy, and Valladolid and Seville in Spain itself, they became associated in the public eye with political as well as religious subversion. It was this combination of nationalistic public opinion, sustained persecution, and the rise of a new generation which could not remember pre-Reformation times and had no pre-established loyalty to Catholicism, that reduced the number of Catholics in England during this period -- although the overshadowing memory of Queen Mary I 's reign was another factor that should not be underestimated. Nevertheless, by the end of the reign probably 20 % of the population were still Catholic, with another 10 % dissident `` Puritan '' Protestants, and the remainder more or less reconciled to the `` official '' church. The reign of James I ( 1603 -- 1625 ) was marked by a measure of tolerance, though less so after the discovery of the Gunpowder Plot conspiracy of a small group of Catholic conspirators who aimed to kill both King and Parliament and establish a Catholic monarchy. A mix of persecution and tolerance followed : Ben Jonson and his wife, for example, in 1606 were summoned before the authorities for failure to take communion in the Church of England, yet the King tolerated some Catholics at court ; for example George Calvert, to whom he gave the title Baron Baltimore, and the Duke of Norfolk, head of the Howard family. The reign of Charles I ( 1625 -- 49 ) saw a small revival of Catholicism in England, especially among the upper classes. As part of the royal marriage settlement Charles 's Catholic wife, Henrietta Maria, was permitted her own royal chapel and chaplain. Henrietta Maria was in fact very strict in her religious observances, and helped create a court with continental influences, where Catholicism was tolerated, even somewhat fashionable. Some anti-Catholic legislation became effectively a dead letter. The Counter-Reformation on the Continent of Europe had created a more vigorous and magnificent form of Catholicism ( i.e., Baroque, notably found in the architecture and music of Austria, Italy and Germany ) that attracted some converts, like the poet Richard Crashaw. Ironically, the explicitly Catholic artistic movement ( i.e., Baroque ) ended up `` providing the blueprint, after the fire of London, for the first new Protestant churches to be built in England. '' While Charles remained firmly Protestant, he was personally drawn towards a consciously ' High Church ' Anglicanism. This affected his appointments to Anglican bishoprics, in particular the appointment of William Laud as Archbishop of Canterbury. How many Catholics and Puritans there were is still open to debate. Religious conflict between Charles and other `` High '' Anglicans and Calvinists - at this stage mostly still within the Church of England ( the Puritans ) - formed a strand of the anti-monarchical leanings of the troubled politics of the period. The religious tensions between a court with ' Papist ' elements and a Parliament where the Puritans were strong was one of the major factors behind the English Civil War, in which almost all Catholics supported the King. The victory of the Parliamentarians meant a strongly Protestant, anti-Catholic ( and, incidentally, anti-Anglican ) regime under Oliver Cromwell. The restoration of the monarchy under Charles II ( 1660 -- 85 ) also saw the restoration of a Catholic - influenced court like his father 's. However, although Charles himself had Catholic leanings, he was first and foremost a pragmatist and realised the vast majority of public opinion in England was strongly anti-Catholic, so he agreed to laws such as the Test Act requiring any appointee to any public office or member of Parliament to deny Catholic beliefs such as transubstantiation. As far as possible, however, he maintained tacit tolerance. Like his father, he married a Catholic, Catherine of Braganza. ( He would become Catholic himself on his deathbed ). James II was the last Catholic to have reigned as monarch of England. Charles ' brother and heir James, Duke of York ( later James II ) converted to Catholicism in 1668 -- 1669. When Titus Oates in 1678 alleged a ( totally imaginary ) ' Popish Plot ' to assassinate Charles and put James in his place, he unleashed a wave of Parliamentary and public hysteria which led to anti-Catholic purges, and another wave of sectarian persecution, which Charles was either unable or unwilling to prevent. Throughout the early 1680s the Whig element in Parliament attempted to remove James as successor to the throne. Their failure saw James become, in 1685, Britain 's first openly Catholic monarch since Mary I ( and last to date ). He promised religious toleration for Catholic and Protestants on an equal footing, but it is in doubt whether he did this to gain support from Dissenters or whether he was truly committed to tolerance ( Contemporary Catholic regimes in Spain and Italy, for example, were hardly tolerant of Protestantism, while those in France and Poland had practised forms of toleration ). James ' clear intent to work towards the restoration of the Church of England to the Catholic fold encouraged converts like the poet John Dryden, who wrote `` The Hind and the Panther '', celebrating his conversion. Protestant fears mounted as James placed Catholics in the major commands of the existing standing army, dismissed the Protestant Bishop of London and dismissed the Protestant Fellows of Magdalen College and replaced them with a wholly Catholic board. The last straw was the birth of a Catholic heir in 1688, portending a return to a Pre-Reformation Catholic dynasty. In what came to be known as the Glorious Revolution, Parliament deemed James to have abdicated ( effectively deposing him, though Parliament refused to call it that ) in favor of his Protestant daughter and son - in - law and nephew, Mary II and William III. Although this affair is celebrated as solidifying both English liberties and the Protestant nature of the kingdom, some argue that it was `` fundamentally a coup spearheaded by a foreign army and navy. '' James fled into exile, and with him many Catholic nobility and gentry. The Act of Settlement 1701, which remains in operation today, established the royal line through Sophia, Electress of Hanover, and specifically excludes any Catholic or anyone who marries a Catholic from the throne. This Act was partially changed when the ban on the monarch 's marrying a Catholic was eliminated ( along with the rule of male succession ). Henry Benedict Stuart ( Cardinal - Duke of York ), the last Jacobite heir to publicly assert a claim to the thrones of England, Scotland, and Ireland, died in Rome in 1807. A monument to the Royal Stuarts exists today at Vatican City. Franz, Duke of Bavaria, head of the Wittelsbach family, is the most senior descendant of King Charles I and is considered by Jacobites to be the heir of the Stuarts. Recusants and moves towards Emancipation ( edit ) The years from 1688 to the early 19th century were in some respects the nadir for Catholicism in England. Deprived of their dioceses, four Apostolic Vicariates were set up throughout England until the re-establishment of the diocesan episcopacy in 1850. Although the persecution was not violent as in the past, Catholic numbers, influence and visibility in English society reached their lowest ebb. Their civil rights were severely curtailed : their right to own property or inherit land was greatly limited, they were burdened with special taxes, they could not send their children abroad for Catholic education, they could not vote, and priests were liable to imprisonment. There was no longer, as once in Stuart times, any notable Catholic presence at court, in public life, in the military or professions. Many of the Catholic nobles and gentry who had preserved on their lands among their tenants small pockets of Catholicism had followed James into exile, and others, at least outwardly, conformed to Anglicanism, meaning fewer such Catholic communities survived intact. A bishop at this time ( roughly from 1688 to 1850 ) was called a Vicar apostolic. A Vicar Apostolic was a titular bishop ( as opposed to a diocesan bishop ) through whom the pope exercised jurisdiction over a particular church territory in England. Interestingly, English - speaking colonial America came under the jurisdiction of the Vicar Apostolic of the London. As titular bishop over Catholics in British America, he was important to the government not only in regard to its English - speaking North American colonies, but also after the Seven Years ' War when the British Empire, in 1763, acquired the French - speaking ( and predominantly Catholic ) territory of Canada. Only after the Treaty of Paris in 1783 and in 1789 with the consecration of John Carroll, a friend of Benjamin Franklin, did the U.S. have its own diocesan bishop, free of the Vicar Apostolic of London, James Robert Talbot. Geographical distribution of English Catholic Recusancy, 1715 -- 1720. Most Catholics retreated to complete isolation from a popular Protestant mainstream, and Catholicism in England in this period is politically, if not socially, invisible to history, Alexander Pope being one memorable English Catholic of the 18th century and the other being a member of the Catholic gentry, the Duke of Norfolk, the Premier Duke in the peerage of England and as Earl of Arundel, the Premier Earl. In virtue of his status and as head of the Howard family ( which included the Earl of Carlisle, the Earl of Suffolk, the Earl of Berkshire, and the Earl of Effingham ), the Duke was always at court. Pope, however, seemed to benefit from the isolation. In 1713, when he was 25, he took subscriptions for a project that filled his life for the next seven years, the result being a new version of Homer 's Iliad. Samuel Johnson pronounced it the greatest translation ever achieved in the English language. Over time, Pope became the greatest poet of the age, the Augustan Age, especially for his mock - heroic poems, Rape of the Lock and The Dunciad. Around this time, in 1720, Clement XI proclaimed Anselm of Canterbury a Doctor of the Church. In 1752, mid-century, Great Britain adopted the Gregorian calendar decreed by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582. Later in the century there was some liberalisation of the anti-Catholic laws on the basis of Enlightenment ideals. In 1778 a Catholic Relief Act allowed Catholics to own property, inherit land and join the army. Hardline Protestant mobs reacted in the Gordon Riots in 1780, attacking any building in London which was associated with Catholicism or owned by Catholics. Other reforms allowed the clergy to operate more openly and thus allowed permanent missions to be set up in the larger towns. Stonyhurst College, for example, was re-established in 1791 for wealthier Catholics. In 1837, James Arundel, the tenth Baron Arundel of Wardour, bequeathed to Stonyhurst the Arundel Library, which contained the vast Arundel family collection, including some of the school 's most important books and manuscripts such as a Shakespeare First Folio and a manuscript copy of Froissart 's Chronicles, looted from the body of a dead Frenchman after the Battle of Agincourt. Yet Catholic recusants as a whole remained a small group, except where they stayed the majority religion in various pockets, notably in rural Lancashire and Cumbria, or were part of the Catholic aristocracy and squirearchy. One of the most interesting contemporary descendents of recusants is Timothy Radcliffe, former Master of the Order of Preachers ( Dominicans ) and writer. Radcliffe is related to three former cardinals -- Weld, Vaughan and Hume ( the last because his cousin Lord Hunt is married to Hume 's sister ), and his family is connected to many of the great recusant English Catholic families, the Arundels, Tichbournes, Tablots, Stonors, and Weld - Blundells. Finally, history can not forget the famous recusant, Maria Fitzherbert, who during this period secretly married the Prince of Wales, Prince Regent, and future George IV in 1785. The British Constitution, however, did not accept it and George IV later moved on. Cast aside by the establishment, she was adopted by the town of Brighton, whose citizens, both Catholic and Protestant, called her `` Mrs. Prince ''. According to journalist, Richard Abbott, `` Before the town had a ( Catholic ) church of its own, she had a priest say Mass at her own house, and invited local Catholics '', suggesting the recusants of Brighton were not very undiscovered. In a new study of the English Catholic community, 1688 -- 1745, Gabriel Glickman notes that Catholics, especially those whose social position gave them access to the courtly centres of power and patronage, had a significant part to play in 18th - century England. They were not as marginal as one might think today. For example, Alexander Pope was not the only Catholic whose contributions ( especially, Essays on Man ) help define the temper of an early English Enlightenment. In addition to Pope, Glickman notes, a Catholic architect, James Gibbs, returned baroque forms to the London skyline and a Catholic composer, Thomas Arne, composed `` Rule Britannia. '' According to reviewer Aidan Bellenger, Glickman also suggests that `` rather than being the victims of the Stuart failure, ' the unpromising setting of exile and defeat ' had ' sown the seed of a frail but resilient English Catholic Enlightenment. ' '' Yale University historian Steve Pincus likewise argues in his book, 1688 : The First Modern Revolution, that Catholics under William and Mary and their successors experienced considerable freedom. Coming of the Irish and English converts ( edit ) Statue of Cardinal Newman outside the Church of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, London After this moribund period, the first signs of a revival occurred as thousands of French Catholics fled France during the French Revolution. The leaders of the Revolution were virulently anti-Catholic, even singling out priests and nuns for summary execution or massacre, and England was seen as a safe haven from Jacobin violence. Also around this time ( 1801 ), a new political entity was formed, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, which merged the Kingdom of Great Britain with the Kingdom of Ireland, thus increasing the number of Catholics in the new state. Pressure for abolition of anti-Catholic laws grew, particularly with the need for Catholic recruits to fight in the Napoleonic Wars. Despite the strong opposition of King George III, which delayed reform, 1829 brought the culmination of the liberalisation of the anti-Catholic laws. Parliament passed the Roman Catholic Relief Act 1829, giving Catholics almost equal civil rights, including the right to vote and to hold most public offices. If Catholics were rich, however, exceptions were always made, even before the changes. For example, American ministers to the Court of St. James 's were often struck by the prominence of wealthy American - born Catholics, titled ladies among the nobility, like Louisa ( Caton ), granddaughter of Charles Carroll of Carrollton, and her two sisters, Mary Ann and Elizabeth. After Louisa 's first husband ( Sir Felton Bathurst - Hervey ) died, Louisa later married the son of the Duke of Leeds, and had the Duke of Wellington as her European protector. Her sister, Mary Ann, married the Marquess of Wellesley, the brother of the Duke of Wellington ; and her other sister, Elizabeth ( Lady Stafford ), married another British nobleman. Though British law required an Anglican marriage service, each of the sisters and their Protestant spouses had a Catholic ceremony afterwards. At Louisa 's first marriage, the Duke of Wellington escorted the bride. In the 1840s and 1850s, especially during the Great Irish Famine, while much of the large outflow of emigration from Ireland was headed to the United States to seek work, hundreds of thousands of Irish people also migrated across the channel to England and Scotland, and established communities in cities there, including London, Liverpool, Manchester and Glasgow, but also in towns and villages up and down the country, thus giving English Catholicism a numerical boost. Also significant was the rise in the 1830s and 1840s of the Oxford Movement, which claimed Catholic validity for Anglican orders and sought to revive some elements of Catholic theology and ritual within the Church of England ( creating Anglo - Catholicism ). A proportion of the Anglicans who were involved in the Oxford Movement or `` Tractarianism '' were ultimately led beyond these positions and converted to the Catholic Church, including, in 1845, the movement 's principal intellectual leader, John Henry Newman. More new Catholics would come from the Anglican Church, often via high Anglicanism, for at least the next hundred years, and something of this continues. Prominent intellectual and artistic figures who turned to Catholicism in the 19th and 20th centuries included the leading architect of the Gothic Revival, Augustus Pugin, the artist Graham Sutherland and literary figures such as Newman, Gerard Manley Hopkins, G.K. Chesterton, Ronald Knox, Siegfried Sassoon, Evelyn Waugh, Edith Sitwell, Graham Greene and Muriel Spark. Prominent cradle Catholics included the film director, Alfred Hitchcock, writers such as Hilaire Belloc, Lord Acton, and J.R.R. Tolkien and the composer Edward Elgar, whose oratorio The Dream of Gerontius was based on a 19th - century poem by Newman. At various points after the 16th century hopes have been entertained by many English Catholics that the `` reconversion of England '' was near at hand. Additionally, with the arrival of immigrant masses of Irish Catholics, some considered that a `` second spring '' of Catholicism across Britain was developing. Rome responded by re-establishing the Catholic hierarchy in 1850, creating 12 Catholic dioceses in England from existing apostolic vicariates and appointing diocesan bishops ( to replace earlier titular bishops ) with fixed sees on a more traditional Catholic pattern. The Catholic Church in England and Wales had 22 dioceses immediately before the Reformation, but none of the current 22 bear close resemblance ( geographically ) to those 22 earlier pre-Reformation dioceses. The re-established diocesan episcopacy specifically avoided using places that were seats of Church of England dioceses as seats, in effect temporarily abandoning the titles of Catholic dioceses before Elizabeth I because of the Ecclesiastical Titles Act of 1851, which in England favoured a state church ( i.e., Church of England ) and denied arms and legal existence to territorial Catholic sees on the basis that the state could not grant such `` privileges '' to `` entities '' that allegedly did not exist. Some of the Catholic dioceses, however, took the titles of bishoprics which had previously existed in England but were no longer used by the Anglican Church ( e.g. Beverley - later divided into Leeds and Middlesbrough, Hexham - later changed to Hexham and Newcastle ). In the few cases where a Catholic diocese bears the same title as an Anglican one in the same town or city ( e.g. Birmingham, Liverpool, Portsmouth, and Southwark ) -- this is the result of the Church of England ignoring the prior existence there of a Catholic see and of the technical repeal of the Ecclesiastical Titles Act in 1871. Of course, the Act was only carried out in England. For example, the official recognition afforded by the grant of arms to the archdiocese of St. Andrews and Edinburgh, brought into being by Lord Lyon in 1989, was made on the grounds that the Ecclesiastical Titles Act of 1851 never applied to Scotland. In recent times, former Conservative Cabinent Minister, John Gummer, who is a prominent convert to Catholicism and columnist for the Catholic Herald in 2007, objected to the fact that no Catholic diocese can have the same name as an Anglican diocese ( such as London, Canterbury, Durham, etc. ) `` even though those dioceses had, shall we say, been borrowed. '' Contemporary English Catholicism ( edit ) Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral, Liverpool Oratory Church of St Aloysius Gonzaga, Oxford, with the flag of the Vatican City flying at half staff the day after the death of Pope John Paul II. English Catholicism continued to grow throughout the first two thirds of the 20th century, when it was associated primarily with elements in the English intellectual class and the ethnic Irish population. Numbers attending Mass remained very high in stark contrast with the Anglican church ( although not to other Protestant churches ), Clergy numbers, which began the 20th century at under 3,000, reached a high of 7,500 in 1971. By the latter years of the twentieth century low numbers of vocations also affected the church with ordinations to the priesthood dropping from the hundreds in the late 20th century into the teens in 2006 - 2011 ( 16 in 2009 for example ) and a recovery into the 20 's thereafter, with a prediction for 2018 of 24. As in other English - speaking countries such as the United States and Australia, the movement of Irish Catholics out of the working - class into the middle - class suburban mainstream often meant their assimilation with broader, secular English society and loss of a separate Catholic identity. The Second Vatican Council has been followed, as in other Western countries, by divisions between traditional Catholicism and a more liberal form of Catholicism claiming inspiration from the Council. This caused difficulties for not a few pre-conciliar converts, though others have still joined the Church in recent decades ( for instance, Malcolm Muggeridge and Joseph Pearce ), and public figures ( often descendants of the recusant families ) such as Paul Johnson ; Peter Ackroyd ; Antonia Fraser ; Mark Thompson, Director General of the BBC ; Michael Martin, first Catholic to hold the office of Speaker of the House of Commons since the Reformation ; Chris Patten, first Catholic to hold the post of Chancellor of Oxford since the Reformation ; Piers Paul Read ; Helen Liddel, Britain 's High Commissioner to Australia ; and former Prime Minister 's wife, Cherie Blair, have no difficulty making their Catholicism known in public life. The former Prime Minister, Tony Blair, was received into full communion with the Catholic Church in 2007. Catherine Pepinster, Editor of Tablet, notes : `` The impact of Irish immigrants is one. There are numerous prominent campaigners, academics, entertainers ( like Danny Boyle the most successful Catholic in showbiz owing to his film, Slumdog Millionaire ), politicians and writers. But the descendants of the recusant families are still a force in the land. '' Since the Council the Church in England has tended to focus on ecumenical dialogue with the Anglican Church rather than winning converts from it as in the past. However, the 1990s have seen a number of conversions from Anglicanism to the Catholic Church, largely prompted by the Church of England 's decision to ordain women as priests ( among other moves away from traditional doctrines and structures ). The resultant converts included members of the Royal Family ( Katharine, Duchess of Kent, her son Lord Nicholas Windsor and her grandson Baron Downpatrick ), a number of Anglican priests. Converts to Catholicism in Britain, for this reason, tend to be more conservative and even traditionalist than Catholics on the European mainland, often opposing trends within the Catholic Church similar to those which induced them to abandon Anglicanism in the first place. The spirit of ecumenism fostered by Vatican II resulted in 1990 with the Catholic Church in England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland, joining Churches Together in Britain and Ireland as an expression of the churches ' commitment to work ecumenically. Recently, for example, a memorial was put up to St John Houghton and fellow Carthusian monks martyred at the London Charterhouse, 1535. Anglican priest, Geoffrey Curtis, campaigned for it with the current Archbishop of Canterbury 's blessing. Also, in another ecumenical gesture, a plaque in Holywell Street, Oxford, now commemorates the Catholic martyrs of England. It reads : `` Near this spot George Nichols, Richard Yaxley, Thomas Belson, and Humphrey Pritchard were executed for their Catholic faith, 5 July 1589. '' And at Lambeth Palace, in February 2009, the Archbishop of Canterbury hosted a reception to launch a book, Why Go To Church?, by Fr Timothy Radcliffe OP, one of Britain 's best known religious and the former master of the Dominican Order. A large number of young Dominican friars attended. Fr Radcliffe said, `` I do n't think there have been so many Dominicans in one place since the time of Robert Kilwardby, the Dominican Archbishop of Canterbury in the 13th century. '' The Church 's principles of social justice influenced initiatives to tackle the challenges of poverty and social inclusion. In Southampton, Fr Pat Murphy O'Connor founded the St Dismas Society as an agency to meet the needs of ex-prisoners discharged from Winchester prison. Some of St Dismas Society 's early members went on to help found the Simon Community in Sussex then in London. Their example gave new inspiration to other clergy, such as the Revd Kenneth Leech ( CofE ) of St Anne 's Church, Soho who helped found the homeless charity Centrepoint, and the Revd Bruce Kenrick ( Church of Scotland ) who helped found the homeless charity Shelter. In 1986 Cardinal Basil Hume established the Cardinal Hume Centre to work with homeless young people, badly housed families and local communities to access accommodation, support and advice, education, training and employment opportunities. In 2006 Cardinal Cormac Murphy - O'Connor instituted an annual Mass in Support of Migrant Workers at Westminster Cathedral in partnership with the ethnic chaplains of Brentwood, Southwark and Westminster. Organisation ( edit ) The Catholic Church in England and Wales has five provinces : Birmingham, Cardiff, Liverpool, Southwark and Westminster. There are 22 dioceses which are divided into parishes ( for comparison, the Church of England and Church in Wales currently have a total of 50 dioceses ). In addition to these, there are four dioceses covering England and Wales for specific groups which are the Bishopric of the Forces, the Eparchy for Ukrainians, the Syro - Malabar Catholic Eparchy of Great Britain and the Personal Ordinariate for former Anglicans. The Catholic bishops in England and Wales come together in a collaborative structure known as the Bishops ' Conference. Currently the Archbishop of Westminster, Vincent Gerard Nichols, is the President of the Bishops ' Conference. For this reason in the global Catholic Church ( outside England ), he is de facto Primate of England though not in the eyes of English law and the established Church of England. Historically, the avoidance of the title of `` Primate '' was to eschew whipping up anti-Catholic tension, in the same way the bishops of the restored hierarchy avoided using current titles of Anglican sees ( Archbishop of Westminster rather than `` Canterbury '' or `` London '' ). However, the Archbishop of Westminster had certain privileges : he was the only metropolitan in the country until 1911 ( when the archdioceses of Birmingham and Liverpool were created ) and he has always acted as leader at meetings of the English bishops. Although the bishops of the restored hierarchy took new titles, such as that of Westminster, they saw themselves very much in continuity with the pre-Reformation Church. Westminster in particular saw itself as the continuation of Canterbury, hence the similarity of the coat of arms of the two sees ( with Westminster believing it has more right to it since it features the pallium, no longer given to Anglican archbishops ). At the back of Westminster Cathedral is a list of Popes and, alongside this, a list of Catholic Archbishops of Canterbury beginning with Augustine of Canterbury and the year they received the pallium. After Cardinal Pole, the last Catholic incumbent of Canterbury, the names of the Catholic vicars apostolic or titular bishops ( from 1685 ) are recorded and then the Archbishops of Westminster, in one unimpaired line, from 597 to the present, according to the Archdiocese of Westminster. To highlight this continuity or unimpaired line today, the installation rites of pre-Reformation Catholic Archbishops of Canterbury and earlier Archbishops of Westminster were used at the installation of the current Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster, Vincent Gerard Nichols. He became the forty - third of English cardinals since the 12th century.

By April 2012 the ordinariate numbered about 1200, including five bishops and 60 priests. The ordinariate has recruited a group of aristocrats as honorary vice-presidents to help out. These include the Duke of Norfolk, the Countess of Oxford and Asquith and the Duchess of Somerset. Other vice-presidents include Lord Nicholas Windsor, Sir Josslyn Gore - Booth and the Squire de Lisle, whose ancestor Ambrose de Lisle was a 19th - century Catholic convert who advocated the corporate reunion of the Anglican Church with Rome. According to the group leader, Mgr Keith Newton, the ordinariate will `` work on something with an Anglican flavour, but they are not bringing over any set of Anglican liturgy. '' The director of music at Westminster Abbey ( Anglican ), lay Catholic James O'Donnell, likens the ordinariate to a Uniate church or one of the many non-Latin Catholic rites, saying : `` This is a good opportunity for us to remember that there is n't a one size fits all, and that this could be a good moment to adopt the famous civil service philosophy - ' celebrating diversity '. '' In May 2013, a former Anglican priest, Alan Hopes, was appointed the new Bishop of East Anglia, whose diocese includes the Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham. Eastern Catholic rites ( edit ) A Ukrainian Greek Catholic parish church in Wolverhampton, England There exists the Apostolic Exarchate for Ukrainians which serves the 15,000 Ukrainian Greek Catholics in Great Britain, with a cathedral and various churches across the country. The Lebanese Maronite Order ( LMO ) runs in England and Wales. The LMO is an order of the Maronite Catholic Church, serving Maronite Catholics in England and Wales. The Revd Augustine Aoun is the parish priest for Maronites. The LMO runs a few churches, for example Our Lady of Sorrows in Paddington and Our Lady of Lebanon in Swiss Cottage. There are also Catholic chaplains of the Eritrean, Chaldean, Syriac, Syro - Malabar, Syro - Malankara, and Melkite Rites. For information about the Syro - Malabar chaplaincy within the Diocese of Westminster in London, see Syro - Malabar Catholic Church of London. Mass in the Syro - Malabar rite is celebrated each Sunday in St Joseph 's Catholic Church, New Zealand Road, Cardiff. Demography ( edit ) General Statistics ( edit ) Migration from Ireland in the 19th and 20th centuries and more recent Eastern European migration have significantly increased the numbers of Catholics in England and Wales. While figures for England and Wales alone are difficult to estimate, the ethnic make - up of the Catholic population in the UK ( which includes Northern Irish as British ) in 2008 was as follows : White British 74.6 % White Eastern European 9.5 % White Irish 4.4 % White Other 3.9 % Black African 2.5 % Mixed other 1.9 % Afro - Caribbean / Other 1.7 % Asian 1.5 % The White Eastern European members are mainly from Poland, with smaller numbers from Lithuania, Latvia, and Slovakia.

One of the most notable Poles at this time, who eventually settled in England, was Joseph Conrad. At the end of the Second World War, many Polish servicemen were unable to return to their homeland following the imposition of a communist regime hostile to their return, and the Polish Resettlement Corps was formed by the British government to ease their transition into British life. They were joined by several thousand Displaced Persons ( DPs ), many were their family members. This influx of Poles gave rise to the 1947 Polish Resettlement Act which allowed approximately 250,000 Polish Servicemen and their dependents, to settle in Britain. Many assimilated into existing Catholic congregations. According to the Polish Catholic Mission in England and Wales in 1948 the Catholic hierarchy in England Wales agreed the appointment of a vicar delegate, nominated by the Polish Episcopate, with ordinary power over the Polish clergy and laity throughout England and Wales with certain exceptions relating to marriage. Subsequently, whenever a Polish Catholic community emerges within England and Wales, the vicar delegate appoints a Polish priest to organise a local branch of the Polish Catholic Mission. A priest thus appointed is the priest in charge, not a parish priest. There are no Polish parishes or quasiparishes in England and Wales ( in accordance with Canons 515 § 1 and 516 § 1 ) with the exception of the church at Devonia Road in London. A Polish Community is sometimes referred to as a `` parish '' but is not a parish in the canonical sense. Hence the Community is not a juridical person. The canonical juridical personality which represents the interests of all Polish Communities is vested in the Polish Catholic Mission. Since the 2004 accession of Poland to the European Union there has been further large - scale Polish immigration to the UK. Currently the Polish Catholic Mission includes around 219 parishes and pastoral centres with 114 priests. The current rector of the Polish Catholic Mission is Rev. Stefan Wylężek. In Poland, the Polish Bishops Conference has a delegate with special responsibility for émigré Poles. The current postholder is Bishop Ryszard Karpiński. The Tablet reported in December 2007 that the Polish Catholic Mission says these parishes follow a pastoral programme set by the Polish conference of bishops and are viewed as `` an integral part of the Polish church ''. In December 2007 Cardinal Cormac Murphy - O'Connor said `` I 'm quite concerned that Poles are creating a separate Church in Britain -- I would want them to be part of the Catholic life of this country. I would hope those responsible for the Polish Church here, and the Poles themselves, will be aware that they should become a part of local parishes as soon as possible when they learn enough of the language. '' Mgr Kukla stressed that the Polish Catholic Mission continues to have a `` good relationship '' with the hierarchy in England and Wales and said `` Integration is a long process. '' Significantly, the Polish Mission co-operated fully with the English hierarchy 's recent research enquiry into the needs of migrants in London 's catholic community. `` The Ground of Justice '' report by Francis Davis and Jolanta Stanke et al. Von Hügel Institute at St Edmund 's College, Cambridge was commissioned by Archbishop Kevin McDonald of Southwark, and Bishop Thomas McMahon of Brentwood. 1000 people attending Mass in three London dioceses were surveyed using anonymous questionnaires available in Polish, Lithuanian, Chinese, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and English. The congregations were from mainstream Diocesan parishes, ethnic chaplaincies, and churches of the Polish Vicariate. The report findings described how 86 % of eastern Europeans said the availability of Mass in their mother tongue was a reason for their choosing to worship in a particular church. The report 's recommendations emphasised cooperation with key overseas bishops conferences, dioceses, and religious institutes on the recruitment and appointment of ethnic chaplains ; the recognition of language skills as a legitimate training activity and cost for seminarians, clergy, parish volunteer and lay employees ; and the consolidation of dispersed charitable funds for pastoral development and the poor in London. Adoption Controversy ( edit ) On November 3, 2016, John Bingham reported in The Daily Telegraph that Cardinal Vincent Nichols officially acknowledged that the Catholic Church in England and Wales had pressured young, unmarried mothers in the country to put their children up for adoption in agencies linked to the Catholic Church throughout the decades following World War II and offered an apology.

The name ' Ecclesia Anglicana, ' or English Church, was of course employed, but always in the Catholic and Papal use of the term as signifying that part of the one Catholic Church under the jurisdiction of the Pope which was situated in England, and precisely in the same way as the Church in Scotland was called the ' Ecclesia Scotticana, ' the Church in France, the ' Ecclesia Gallicana, ' and the Church in Spain the ' Ecclesia Hispanica.

Once again the Irish were pushed west to poorer lands, an exodus that prefigured the disposition of the American Indians over the next two centuries.

If Puritans probably represented 10 -- 20 percent of the national population, most of them still worshiping within the Church of England, Catholics were much harder to count. Open ' recusants ' -- Catholics who paid fines to avoid attending the Church of England -- numbered sixty thousand in 1640. Many more, however, reluctantly attended services on Sunday with scowls or for as short a time as possible. The more identifiable of these were called ' Church Papists ' ; the less important, ordinary grumblers who merely talked of preferring the older ceremonies were uncountable. In the north and west, at least half the population outside the towns were Catholic to some degree. By this broad definition, Catholics would have numbered 10 -- 15 percent of the total English population. Practicing Catholics, however, could not have been more than 2 -- 3 percent. Catholicism survived most strongly among the nobility, of whom 15 -- 20 percent clung to the old faith, including many leading magnates in an arc from Cumberland, Westmoreland, and Lancashire south to Derby, Worchestershire, and Hereforshire. However, even solidly Protestant East Anglian counties like Suffolk and Essex each had three, four, or a half - dozen aristocratic families holding to the religion of their forebears. This is perhaps one reason why the populace took Catholic ' plots ' so seriously : What they called popery was especially visible among the powerful and influential.

Priests found celebrating Mass were often hanged, drawn and quartered, rather than being burned at the stake. The Catholic Church ( along with other non-established churches ) continued in England, although it was at times subject to various forms of persecution. Most recusant members ( except those in diaspora on the Continent, in heavily Catholic areas in the north, or part of the aristocracy ) practised their faith in private for all practical purposes. In 1766, the Pope recognised the English Monarchy as lawful, and this led eventually to the Roman Catholic Relief Act 1829. Dioceses ( replacing districts ) were re-established by Pope Pius IX in 1850. Along with the 22 Latin Rite dioceses, there are the Eastern Catholic diocese of the Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of Holy Family of London and the Syro - Malabar Catholic Eparchy of Great Britain. At the 2001 United Kingdom census, there were 4.2 million Catholics in England and Wales, some eight per cent of the population. One hundred years earlier, in 1901, they represented only 4.8 per cent of the population. In 1981, 8.7 per cent of the population of England and Wales were Catholic.

He loved the scenery and climate so much that he decided to create his own summer estate in the area, which he called his `` little mountain escape '', just as his older brothers and sisters had built opulent summer houses in places such as Newport, Rhode Island, and Hyde Park, New York. Vanderbilt named his estate Biltmore derived from `` Bildt, '' Vanderbilt 's ancestors ' place of origin in Holland, and `` More '', Anglo - Saxon for open, rolling land. A portion of the estate was once the African - American community of Shiloh. Vanderbilt bought almost 700 parcels of land, including over 50 farms and at least five cemeteries. A spokesperson for the estate said in 2017 that archives show much of the land `` was in very poor condition, and many of the farmers and other landowners were glad to sell. '' The Biltmore Estate ( c. 1900 ) Construction of the house began in 1889 and continued well into 1896. In order to facilitate such a large project, a woodworking factory and brick kiln, which produced 32,000 bricks a day, were built onsite, and a three - mile railroad spur was constructed to bring materials to the building site. Construction on the main house required the labor of well over 1,000 workers and 60 stonemasons. Vanderbilt went on extensive buying trips overseas as construction on the house was in progress. He returned to North Carolina with thousands of furnishings for his newly built home including tapestries, hundreds of carpets, prints, linens, and decorative objects, all dating between the 15th century and the late 19th century. Among the few American - made items were the more practical oak drop - front desk, rocking chairs, a walnut grand piano, bronze candlesticks and a wicker wastebasket. George Vanderbilt opened his opulent estate on Christmas Eve 1895 to invited family and friends from across the country, who were encouraged to enjoy leisure and country pursuits. Notable guests to the estate over the years included author Edith Wharton, novelist Henry James, ambassadors Joseph Hodges Choate and Larz Anderson, and Presidents William McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, and Woodrow Wilson. George married Edith Stuyvesant Dresser in 1898 in Paris, France ; their only child, Cornelia Stuyvesant Vanderbilt, was born at Biltmore in the Louis XV room in 1900, and grew up at the estate. Driven by the impact of the newly imposed income taxes, and the fact that the estate was getting harder to manage economically, Vanderbilt initiated the sale of 87,000 acres ( 352 km2 ) to the federal government. After Vanderbilt 's unexpected death in 1914 of complications from an emergency appendectomy, his widow completed the sale to carry out her husband 's wish that the land remain unaltered, and that property became the nucleus of the Pisgah National Forest. Overwhelmed with running such a large estate, Edith began consolidating her interests and sold Biltmore Estate Industries in 1917 and Biltmore Village in 1921. Edith intermittently occupied the house, living in an apartment carved out of the former Bachelors ' Wing, until the marriage of her daughter to John Francis Amherst Cecil in April 1924. The Cecils went on to have two sons who were born in the same room as their mother. In an attempt to bolster the estate 's financial situation during the Great Depression, Cornelia and her husband opened Biltmore to the public in March 1930 at the request of the City of Asheville, which hoped the attraction would revitalize the area with tourism. Biltmore closed during World War II and in 1942, 62 paintings and 17 sculptures were moved to the estate by train from the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. to protect them in the event of an attack on the United States. The Music Room on the first floor was never finished, so it was used for storage until 1944, when the possibility of an attack became more remote. Among the works stored were the Gilbert Stuart portrait of George Washington and works by Rembrandt, Raphael, and Anthony van Dyck. David Finley, the gallery director, was a friend of Edith Vanderbilt and had stayed at the estate. After the divorce of the Cecils in 1934, Cornelia left the estate never to return ; however, John Cecil maintained his residence in the Bachelors ' Wing until his death in 1954. Their eldest son George Henry Vanderbilt Cecil, occupied rooms in the wing until 1956. At this point Biltmore House ceased to be a family residence and has continued to be operated as a historic house museum. Younger son William A.V. Cecil, Sr. returned to the estate in 1960 and joined his brother to manage the estate and make it a profitable and self - sustaining enterprise like his grandfather envisioned. He eventually inherited the estate upon the death of his mother, Cornelia, in 1976, while his brother, George, inherited the then more profitable dairy farm which was split off into Biltmore Farms. In 1995, while celebrating the 100th anniversary of the estate, Cecil turned over control of the company to his son, William A.V. Cecil, Jr. The Biltmore Company is privately held and of the 4,306.86 acres that make up Biltmore Estate, only 1.36 acres are in the city limits of Asheville, and the Biltmore House is not part of any municipality. The estate was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1963, and remains a major tourist attraction in Western North Carolina with over 1 million visitors each year. Architecture ( edit ) Waddesdon Manor was a principal source for the east elevation Vanderbilt commissioned prominent New York architect Richard Morris Hunt, who had previously designed houses for various Vanderbilt family members, to design the house in the Châteauesque style, using French Renaissance chateaus that Vanderbilt and Hunt had visited in early 1889, including Château de Blois, Chenonceau and Chambord in France and Waddesdon Manor in England, as inspiration with their steeply pitched roofs, turrets and sculptural ornamentation. Hunt sited the four - story Indiana limestone - built home to face east with a 375 - foot facade to fit into the mountainous topography behind. The facade is asymmetrically balanced with two projecting wings connecting to the entrance tower with an open loggia to the left side and a windowed arcade to the right which held the Winter Garden that was fashionable during the Victorian era. The entrance tower contains a series of windows with decorated jambs that extend from the front door to the most decorated dormer at Biltmore on the fourth floor. The carved decorations include trefoils, flowing tracery, rosettes, gargoyles, and at prominent lookouts, grotesques. The staircase is one of the more prominent features of the east facade, with its three - story, highly decorated winding balustrade with carved statues of St. Louis and Joan of Arc by the Austrian - born architectural sculptor Karl Bitter. The south facade has the smallest dimensions for the house and is dominated by three large dormers on the east side and a polygonal turret on the west side. An arbor is attached to the house and is accessed from the library which is located on the ground floor. On the north end of the house, Hunt placed the attached stables, carriage house and its courtyard to protect the house and gardens from the wind. The 12,000 - square - foot complex housed Vanderbilt 's prized driving horses and the carriage house opposite the stables stored his 20 carriages in addition to any of his guest 's carriages. The rear western elevation is less elaborate than the front facade, with some windows not having any decoration at all. Two matching polygonal towers in the center are connected to the polygonal south turret by an open loggia that opens the main rooms of the house to the views of the Blue Ridge Mountains in the distance. The loggia is decorated overhead with terracotta tiles set in a herringbone pattern. The self - supporting ceramic tile vault and arch system was used extensively inside and outside of Biltmore, and was patented by Rafael Guastavino, a Spanish architect and engineer, who personally supervised the installation. The limestone columns were carved to reflect the sunlight in aesthetically pleasing and varied ways per Vanderbilt 's wish. The rusticated base is a contrast to the smooth limestone used on the remainder of the house. The steeply pitched roof is punctuated by 16 chimneys and covered with slate tiles that were affixed one by one. Each tile was drilled at the corners and wired onto the attic 's steel infrastructure. Copper flashing was then installed at the junctions to prevent water from penetrating. The fanciful flashing on the ridge of the roof was embossed with George Vanderbilt 's initials and motifs from his family crest, though the original gold leaf no longer survives. Biltmore House had electricity from the time it was built. With electricity less safe and fire more of a danger at the time, the house had six separate sections divided by brick fire walls. Vanderbilt paid little attention to the family business or his own investments, and it is believed that the construction and upkeep of Biltmore depleted much of his inheritance. Interiors ( edit ) First floor ( edit ) The Triumphal Arch Biltmore has four acres of floor space and a total of 250 rooms in the house including 35 bedrooms for family and guests, 43 bathrooms, 65 fireplaces, three kitchens and 19th - century novelties such as electric elevators, forced - air heating, centrally controlled clocks, fire alarms, and a call - bell system. The principal rooms of the house are located on the ground floor. To the right of the marbled Entrance Hall, the octagonal, sunken Winter Garden is surrounded by stone archways with a ceiling of architecturally sculptured wood and multifaceted glass. The centerpiece is a marble and bronze fountain sculpture titled Boy Stealing Geese created by Karl Bitter. On the walls just outside the Winter Garden are copies of the Parthenon frieze. The Banquet Hall is the largest room in the house, measuring 42 feet wide and 72 feet long, with a 70 - foot - high barrel - vaulted ceiling. The table could seat 64 guests surrounded by rare Flemish tapestries and a triple fireplace that spans one end of the hall. On the opposite end of the hall is an organ gallery that houses a 1916 Skinner pipe organ. Left unfinished with bare brick walls, the Music Room was not completed and opened to the public until 1976. It showcases a mantle designed by Hunt, and a large engraving by Albrecht Dürer called the Triumphal Arch commissioned by Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I. The mantle had been stored in the stable for over 80 years. To the left of the entrance hall is the 90 - foot - long Tapestry Gallery, which leads to the Library, featuring three 16th - century tapestries representing The Triumph of Virtue Over Vice. Elsewhere on the walls are family portraits by John Singer Sargent, Giovanni Boldini and James Whistler. The two - story Library contains over 10,000 volumes in eight languages, reflecting George Vanderbilt 's broad interests in classic literature as well as works on art, history, architecture, and gardening. The second - floor balcony is accessed by an ornate walnut spiral staircase. The baroque detailing of the room is enhanced by the rich walnut paneling and the ceiling painting, The Chariot of Aurora, brought to Biltmore by Vanderbilt from the Palazzo Pisani Moretta in Venice, Italy. The painting by Giovanni Antonio Pellegrini is the most important work by the artist still in existence. Second floor ( edit ) Master bedroom of George Vanderbilt. The second floor is accessed by the cantilevered Grand Staircase of 102 steps spiraling around a four - story, wrought - iron chandelier holding 72 light bulbs. The Second Floor Living Hall is an extension of the grand staircase as a formal hall and portrait gallery, and was restored to its original configuration in 2013. Several large - scale masterpieces are displayed in the hall, including two John Singer Sargent portraits of Biltmore 's architect, Richard Morris Hunt, and landscaper, Frederick Law Olmsted, both commissioned for the home by Vanderbilt. Located nearby in the south tower is George Vanderbilt 's gilded bedroom with furniture designed by Hunt. His bedroom connects to his wife 's Louis XV - style, oval - shaped bedroom in the north tower through a Jacobean carved oak paneled sitting room with an intricate ceiling. The suite of rooms includes the Damask Room ; the Claude Room, named after one of Vanderbilt 's favorite artists, Claude Lorrain ; the Tyrolean Chimney Room ; and the most grand, the Louis XV Room, so named due to its architectural scheme and furnishings that were very popular in the late nineteenth century. The suite was restored and opened to the public for the first time in 100 years in 2011. Third and fourth floors ( edit ) The third floor has a number of guest rooms with names that describe the furnishing or artist that they were decorated with. The fourth floor has 21 bedrooms that were inhabited by housemaids, laundresses, and other female servants. Also included on the fourth floor is an Observatory with a circular staircase that leads to a wrought iron balcony with doorways to the rooftop where Vanderbilt could view his estate. Male servants were not housed here, however, but instead resided in rooms above the stable and complex. Bachelors ' Wing ( edit ) The Billiard Room is decorated with an ornamental plaster ceiling and rich oak paneling and was equipped with both a custom - made pool table and a carom table ( table without pockets ). The room was mainly frequented by men, but ladies were welcome to enter as well. Secret door panels on either side of the fireplace lead to the private quarters of the Bachelors ' Wing where female guests and staff members were not allowed. The wing includes the Smoking Room, which was fashionable for country houses, and the Gun Room, which held mounted trophies and displayed George Vanderbilt 's gun collection. Basement ( edit ) Guests of the estate could enjoy other activities that were found on the basement level, including an indoor 70,000 - gallon ( 265,000 - litre and 265 - cubic meter ) heated swimming pool with underwater lighting, one of the nation 's first bowling alleys installed in a private residence, and a gymnasium with once state - of - the - art fitness equipment. The service hub of the house is also found in the largest basement in the US, as the location for the main kitchen, pastry kitchen, rotisserie kitchen, walk - in refrigerators that provided an early form of mechanical refrigeration, the servants ' dining hall, laundry rooms and additional bedrooms for staff. Park and landscape ( edit ) View of the south side of the house from the Shrub garden Wanting the best, Vanderbilt envisioned a park - like setting for his home and employed landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted to design the grounds. However, Olmsted was not impressed with the condition of the 125,000 acres ( 195 sq mi ; 510 km ) and advised for a park surrounding the house, establishing farms along the river and replanting the rest as a commercial timber forest, a plan to which Vanderbilt agreed. Gifford Pinchot and later Carl A. Schenck were hired to manage the forests, with Schenck establishing the first forestry education program in the U.S., the Biltmore Forest School, on the estate grounds in 1898. Garden at Biltmore Estate ( Asheville, NC ) Another important aspect of the landscaping was the intentionally rustic three - mile ( 5 km ) Approach Road that began at the brick quoined and pebbledash stucco Lodge Gate at the edge of Biltmore Village, and ended at the sphinx - topped stone pillars at the Esplanade. In between, the lane was densely filled with natural and uncultivated looking foliage and shrubbery to provide a relaxing journey for guests. Olmsted made sure to incorporate 75 acres ( 30 ha ) of formal gardens that had been requested by Vanderbilt for the grounds directly surrounding the house. He constructed an Italian formal garden, a walled garden, a shrub and rose garden, fountains, and a conservatory with individual rooms for palms and orchids. There was also a bowling green, an outdoor tea room, and a terrace to incorporate the European statuary that Vanderbilt had brought back from his travels. At the opposite end of the Esplanade is the Rampe Douce, a graduated stairway zigzagging along a rough - cut limestone wall that leads to the grassy slope known as the Vista, topped with a statue of Diana, the goddess of the hunt. Water features were an important aspect of Victorian landscaping and Olmsted incorporated two for the estate : the Bass Pond created from an old creek - fed millpond and the Lagoon. Each was used for guest recreation like fishing and rowing. To supply water for the estate, Olmsted engineered two reservoirs. One was a spring - fed man - made lake on nearby Busbee Mountain. The other was a man - made, brick - lined reservoir, located behind the statue of Diana in the Vista, at an elevation of approximately 266 feet above the Esplanade. Estate ( edit ) Storage facility in the Biltmore Winery, 2017 Vanderbilt 's idea was to replicate the working estates of Europe. He asked Hunt and Olmsted to design a village with architecturally compatible buildings and picturesque landscaping as a source of income through building rental, a place to help carry out philanthropic programs, and an easy point of access between the estate and the train station. The result was Biltmore Village. The village included rental cottages complete with plumbing and central heating, a post office, shops, doctor 's office, school, and a church, known today as the Cathedral of All Souls. Intending that the estate could be self - supporting, Vanderbilt set up scientific forestry programs, poultry farms, cattle farms, hog farms, and a dairy. His wife, Edith, also enthusiastically supported agricultural reform and promoted the establishment of a state agricultural fair. In 1901, the Vanderbilts provided financial assistance to Biltmore Industries, started by Biltmore Village resident Eleanor Vance, which taught young people how to make hand - carved furniture, woven baskets, homespun wool fabric, and more. The estate today covers approximately 8,000 acres ( 13 sq mi ; 32 km ) and is split in half by the French Broad River, overseen by The Biltmore Company, a trust set up by the family. The company is a large enterprise that is one of the largest employers in the Asheville area. Restaurants were opened in 1979 and 1987 as well as four gifts shops in 1993. The former dairy barn was converted into the popular Biltmore Winery in 1985. The AAA four - diamond 210 - room Inn on Biltmore Estate opened in 2001, and in 2010, the estate debuted Antler Hill Village, as well as a remodeled winery, and connected farmyard. In other media ( edit ) The Biltmore Estate licenses its name and design elements to a line of housewares, linens, and luggage called `` Biltmore For Your Home '', marketed exclusively by Belk stores. The house has been featured in `` Empires of the Smoky Skies '', a scenario in Sid Meier 's Civilization V. The estate and its surrounding forest make up the setting of Robert Beatty 's 2015 middle - grade novel Serafina and the Black Cloak and its 2016 sequel Serafina and the Twisted Staff. The grounds and buildings of Biltmore Estate have appeared in a number of major motion pictures and TV series : Tap Roots ( 1948 ) The Swan ( 1956 ) The Pruitts of Southampton ( 1966 ) Being There ( 1979 ) The Private Eyes ( 1980 ) A Breed Apart ( 1984 ) Mr. Destiny ( 1990 ) The Last of the Mohicans ( 1992 ) Forrest Gump ( 1994 ) Richie Rich ( 1994 ) My Fellow Americans ( 1996 ) Patch Adams ( 1998 ) Return to the Secret Garden ( 2000 ) Hannibal ( 2001 ) One Tree Hill ( 2003 ) The Clearing ( 2004 ) The Odd Life of Timothy Green ( 2012 ) Hannibal ( 2015 ) See also ( edit ) List of Gilded Age mansions List of largest houses in the United States Richard Sharp Smith List of National Historic Landmarks in North Carolina National Register of Historic Places listings in Buncombe County, North Carolina References ( edit ) Jump up ^ National Park Service ( 2006 - 03 - 15 ). `` National Register Information System ''.

Larry is hired at the American Museum of Natural History to replace the retiring security guards Cecil Fredericks and his colleagues Gus and Reginald. Larry meets the museum 's neurotic curator Dr. McPhee, and museum docent Rebecca Hutman, who plans to write a dissertation on Sacagawea. On his first night, Cecil hands Larry an instruction manual on what to do in the museum, warning him not to let anything `` in or out. '' Larry soon discovers that at night, the museum 's exhibits come to life and cause havoc for him. Amongst the lively exhibits are a playful Tyrannosaurus skeleton named Rexy ; a mischievous capuchin monkey named Dexter who destroys the instructions ; the warring factions of cowboys and legionnaires led by Jedediah and General Octavius ; violent Attila the Hun ; a talking Easter Island Head that desires gum ; the fire - seeking neanderthals ; and a wax model of Theodore Roosevelt, who is in love with Sacagawea. Roosevelt explains to Larry that the exhibits have come to life every night since the arrival of an Egyptian artifact, the Tablet of Akhmenrah, the mummified pharaoh trapped in his sarcophagus. He also explains to Larry that as night guard, it is his job to make sure that no exhibit sets foot out of the museum, otherwise they will disintegrate into dust if the sun rises while they are outside. The next day, Cecil advises Larry to research history to make up for the instructions ' destruction. He studies in libraries and from Rebecca. Larry puts his new knowledge to good use on his second night, but some of his plans backfire and the neanderthals set their exhibit on fire, leading to one becoming dust after venturing outside. After having doubts and almost getting fired the next day, Larry offers to introduce Sacagawea to Rebecca, but she thinks he is mocking her. On his third night, Larry brings Nick to the museum to watch the exhibits come to life, but they strangely do not. They catch Cecil, Gus, and Reginald stealing artifacts, who explain the tablet 's magic has allowed them to feel physically young in their old age, and plot to frame Larry for the theft while they enjoy a happy retirement. Nick activates the tablet, but Cecil steals it, locking Larry and Nick in the Egyptian exhibit. They free Akhmenrah, and rally the exhibits to stop the thieves and retrieve their colleagues who fled out into Central Park. Gus and Reginald are captured, but Cecil escapes by stagecoach. Larry and several exhibits give chase, where they stop Cecil and recover the tablet, using its magic to escort all of the exhibits back into the museum before sunrise. Rebecca witnesses this and makes amends with Larry, subsequently introduced to Sacagawea. The next day McPhee fires Larry, but when they go into the museum, they find it is crowded due to last night 's strange activities, and Larry is rehired. During the credits, Cecil, Gus, and Reginald were granted mercy by Larry and work as janitors.

Trainers spent several weeks training Crystal, who plays the troublemaking monkey Dexter, to slap and bite Stiller in the film. Robin Williams ' Theodore Roosevelt costume closely resembles that of John Wayne 's character in The Shootist. Director Shawn Levy credited Ben Stiller for the ensemble cast : `` When actors hear that Ben Stiller is in a movie they want to work with him. It ( 's ) a high - water mark and it absolutely draws actors in and I 'm convinced that 's a big part of why we got this cast.

This is a period - correct song. Score ( edit ) Alan Silvestri replaced John Ottman as score composer. Silvestri 's score was used for the teaser trailer of Horton Hears a Who!

James Berardinelli of Reelviews gave it 2 stars out of 4, and commented on Stiller 's performance by stating `` It might be fair to give Ben Stiller an ' A ' for effort, but to call what he does in this movie `` acting '' is a misnomer.

{ "text": "Capacitive coupling - wikipedia Capacitive coupling Jump to : navigation, search Not to be confused with Decoupling capacitor. Capacitive coupling is the transfer of energy within an electrical network or between distant networks by means of displacement current between circuit ( s ) nodes, induced by the electric field. This coupling can have an intentional or accidental effect. Capacitive coupling with high - voltage power lines can light a lamp continuously at low intensity. In its simplest implementation, capacitive coupling is achieved by placing a capacitor between two nodes. Where analysis of many points in a circuit is carried out, the capacitance at each point and between points can be described in a matrix form. Contents ( hide ) 1 Use in analog circuits 2 Use in digital circuits 3 Gimmick loop 4 Parasitic capacitive coupling 5 See also 6 References 7 External links Use in analog circuits ( edit ) Polyester film capacitors, commonly used for coupling between two circuits. In analog circuits, a coupling capacitor is used to connect two circuits such that only the AC signal from the first circuit can pass through to the next while DC is blocked. This technique helps to isolate the DC bias settings of the two coupled circuits. Capacitive coupling is also known as AC coupling and the capacitor used for the purpose is also known as a DC - blocking capacitor. A coupling capacitor 's ability to prevent a DC load from interfering with an AC source is particularly useful in Class A amplifier circuits by preventing a 0 volt input being passed to a transistor with additional resistor biasing ; creating continuous amplification. Capacitive coupling decreases the low frequency gain of a system containing capacitively coupled units. Each coupling capacitor along with the input electrical impedance of the next stage forms a high - pass filter and the sequence of filters results in a cumulative filter with a − 3 dB frequency that may be higher than those of each individual filter. So for adequate low frequency response, the capacitors used must have high capacitance ratings. They should be high enough that the reactance of each is at most a tenth of the input impedance of each stage, at the lowest frequency of interest. See Impedance bridging. Coupling capacitors can also introduce nonlinear distortion at low frequencies. This is not an issue at high frequencies because the voltage across the capacitor stays very close to zero. However, if a signal is allowed to pass through the coupling that is low relative to the RC cutoff frequency, voltages can develop across the capacitor, which for some capacitor types results in changes of capacitance, leading to distortion. This is avoided by choosing capacitor types that have low voltage coefficient, and by using large values that put the cutoff frequency far lower than the frequencies of the signal. These disadvantages of capacitively coupling DC - biased transistor amplifier circuits are largely minimized in directly coupled designs. Use in digital circuits ( edit ) AC coupling is also widely used in digital circuits to transmit digital signals with a zero DC component, known as DC - balanced signals. DC - balanced waveforms are useful in communications systems, since they can be used over AC - coupled electrical connections to avoid voltage imbalance problems and charge accumulation between connected systems or components. For this reason, most modern line codes are designed to produce DC - balanced waveforms. The most common classes of DC - balanced line codes are constant - weight codes and paired - disparity codes. Gimmick loop ( edit ) A gimmick loop is a simple type of capacitive coupler : two closely spaced strands of wire. It provides capacitive coupling of a few picofarads between two nodes. Sometimes the wires are twisted together for physical stability. Parasitic capacitive coupling ( edit ) Capacitive coupling is often unintended, such as the capacitance between two wires or PCB traces that are next to each other. Often one signal can capacitively couple with another and cause what appears to be noise. To reduce coupling, wires or traces are often separated as much as possible, or ground lines or ground planes are run in between signals that might affect each other, so that the lines are capacitively coupled to ground rather than each other. Breadboards are particularly prone to these issues due to the long pieces of metal that line every row creating a several - picofarad capacitor between lines. To prototype high - frequency ( 10s of MHz ) or high - gain analog circuits, often the circuits are built over a ground plane so that the signals couple to ground more than to each other. If a high - gain amplifier 's output capacitively couples to its input it often becomes an electronic oscillator. One rule of thumb says that drivers should be able to drive 25 pF of capacitance which allows for PCB traces up to 0.30 meters.

Her counterpart in the original UK series of The Office is Dawn Tinsley. Her character is initially the receptionist at the paper distribution company Dunder Mifflin, before becoming a saleswoman and eventually office administrator until her termination in the series finale. Her character is shy, growing assertive but amiable, and artistically inclined, and shares romantic interest with Jim Halpert, whom she begins dating in the fourth season and marries and starts a family with as the series continues.

Even minute details, such as how Pam wore her hair each day, were considered by executive producer, Greg Daniels. `` When I went in for The Office, the casting director said to me, ' Please look normal ', '' recalls Jenna Fischer. `` Do n't make yourself all pretty, and dare to bore me with your audition. Those were her words. Dare to bore me. '' Heeding the advice, Fischer said little during the auditions, during which she was interviewed in character by show producers, in an improvisational format, to imitate the show 's documentary premise. `` My take on the character of Pam was that she did n't have any media training, so she did n't know how to be a good interview. And also, she did n't care about this interview, '' she told NPR. `` So, I gave very short one - word answers and I tried very hard not to be funny or clever, because I thought that the comedy would come out of just, you know, the real human reactions to the situation... and they liked that take on it. '' `` When I went in to the audition, the first question that they asked me in the character of Pam -- they said, ' Do you like working as a receptionist? ' I said, ' No. ' And that was it. I did n't speak any more than that. And they started laughing. '' Fischer found herself creating a very elaborate backstory for the character. For the first few seasons, she kept a list of the character history revealed on - screen by the creators, as well as her own imaginative thoughts on Pam 's history. She created a rule with the set 's hair and make - up department that it could n't look as though it took Pam more than 30 minutes to do her hair, and she formulated ideas as to who gave Pam each piece of jewelry she wore or where she went to college. Fischer also carefully crafted Pam 's quiet persona. `` Well, my character of Pam is really stuck, '' she explained to NPR. `` I mean, she 's a subordinate in this office. And so, I think that for her, the only way she can express herself is in the silences, but you can say so much by not saying anything. '' Originally meek and passive, the character grew more assertive as the seasons passed, prompting Fischer to reassess her portrayal. `` I have to approach Pam differently ( now ), '' she explained in Season 4, a defining season in which her character finally begins a long - awaited relationship with Jim and is accepted into the Pratt Institute. `` She is in a loving relationship, she has found her voice, she has started taking art classes. All of these things must inform the character and we need to see changes in the way she moves, speaks, dresses, etc. '' Character history ( edit ) Seasons 1 -- 3 ( edit ) At the beginning of the series, Pam and Roy have been dating for eight years and engaged for three years. Their open - ended engagement has become one of Michael 's running gags and a sore spot for Pam. Pam does not want her current job to become permanent, remarking that `` I do n't think it 's many little girls ' dream to be a receptionist. '' Pam is apathetic toward her work, evidenced by her frequent games of FreeCell on her office computer. However, in the pilot episode, she breaks down crying when Michael pulls an ill - advised prank by telling her that she will be fired. Michael has criticized Pam for simply forwarding calls to voice mail without answering and ( in a deleted scene ) for not sounding enthusiastic enough when speaking on the telephone. Pam is usually happy to abandon her work if asked to do something else by Jim. She will do extra, unnecessary work ( such as making a casket for a dead bird or paper doves for the Office Olympics ) to make other people happy. Despite the abuse she takes from Michael, she never goes any further than calling him a jerk in the pilot. In later seasons, however, she becomes more honest and forward with Michael and will often make sarcastic comments toward him. While engaged to Roy, Pam denies, or is in denial about, having any romantic feelings for Jim. When Jim confesses his love for her at the Dunder Mifflin `` Casino Night '' she turns him down. She later talks to her mom on the phone and says Jim is her best friend ( though she does n't say his name ), and says `` Yeah, I think I am '' to an unheard question. She is interrupted by Jim, who enters and kisses her ; she responds by kissing back. Season three marks a turning point for Pam 's character : she gains self - confidence and appears less passive and more self - assured as the season progresses. In `` Gay Witch Hunt, '' the season 's opener, it is revealed that Pam got cold feet before her wedding and did not marry Roy after all, and that Jim transferred to a different Dunder Mifflin branch, in Stamford, shortly after Pam rejected him a second time, after their kiss. Pam moves into her own apartment, begins taking art classes, a pursuit that Roy had previously dismissed as a waste of time, and buys a new car, a blue Toyota Yaris. Jim returns to Scranton later on as a result of `` The Merger '', and brings along a female co-worker, Karen Filippelli, whom he begins dating. Jim and Pam appeared to have ended all communication after Jim transfers to the Stamford branch ( aside from an episode in which Jim accidentally calls Pam at the end of the work day ), and their episodes together following the branch merge are tense, despite both admitting to still harboring feelings for the other during the presence of the documentary cameras. Meanwhile, Roy vows to win Pam back. Roy 's efforts to improve his relationship with Pam are quite successful, but once Pam and Roy are back together, he falls back into old habits almost immediately. When Roy and Pam attend an after work get - together at a local bar with their co-workers, Pam, feeling that she should be more honest with Roy, tells him about Jim kissing her at `` Casino Night. '' Roy yells, smashes a mirror, and trashes the bar. Pam, frightened and embarrassed by his reaction, breaks up with Roy immediately. Roy vows to kill Jim and in `` The Negotiation '', Roy unsuccessfully tries to attack Jim at work ( Jim is saved by Dwight 's intervention ), and is subsequently fired. Pam later reluctantly agrees to meet Roy for coffee at his request, and after the polite but brief meeting, it appears that their relationship has ended amicably with Roy encouraging Pam to pursue Jim. Pam participates in an art show, but few people attend. Her co-worker, Oscar, brings his partner along who, not knowing that Pam is standing behind him, criticizes her work by proclaiming that `` real art requires courage. '' Oscar then goes on to say that courage is n't one of Pam 's strong points. Affected by this statement, Pam tells the documentary crew that she is going to be more honest, culminating in a dramatic coal walk during the next - to - last episode of the season, `` Beach Games '', and a seemingly sincere speech to Jim in front of the entire office about their relationship. Michael also comes to the art show and reveals his erratically kind heart and loyalty by buying, framing and hanging Pam 's drawing of the Dunder Mifflin building in the office. In the season finale, `` The Job, '' she leaves a friendly note in Jim 's briefcase and an old memento depicting the ' gold medal ' yogurt lid from the Office Olympics, which he sees during an interview for a job at Corporate in New York City. While he is asked how he `` would function here in New York '', Jim is shown to have his mind back in Scranton, still distracted by the thought of Pam. Jim withdraws his name from consideration and drives back to the office, where he interrupts a talking head Pam is doing for the documentary crew by asking her out for dinner. She happily accepts, visibly moved, abandoning a train of thought about how she would be fine if Jim got the job and never came back to Scranton. Karen quits soon after, becoming the regional manager at Dunder Mifflin 's Utica branch. Seasons 4 -- 6 ( edit ) In Season 4, Pam retains the assertiveness she developed in the third season. She wears her hair down and has updated her old dowdy wardrobe. In the season 4 premiere, `` Fun Run '', Jim and Pam confess that they have started dating after the camera crew catches them kissing. The office ultimately learns of their relationship in `` Dunder Mifflin Infinity ''. In `` Chair Model '', after teasing Pam about his impending proposal, Jim tells the documentary crew he is not kidding around about an engagement and shows them a ring he bought a week after he and Pam started dating. In the next few episodes, Jim fake - proposes to Pam multiple times. In `` Goodbye, Toby '', Pam discovers she 's been accepted at Pratt Institute, an art and design school in Brooklyn. In an interview later in the episode, Jim announces that he will propose to Pam that evening. Just as Jim is preparing to propose, however, Andy Bernard stands up and makes his own impromptu proposal to Angela. Having had his thunder stolen by Andy, Jim reluctantly puts the ring back in his jacket pocket, leaving Pam visibly disappointed as she was expecting Jim to propose that night. In the Season 5 premiere, `` Weight Loss '', Pam begins her three - month course at the Pratt Institute. In this episode, Jim proposes in the pouring rain at a rest stop, saying that he `` ca n't wait ''. In `` Business Trip '', Pam learns that she is failing one of her classes and will have to remain in New York another three months to retake it. Although Jim is supportive and tells her he will wait for her to come back `` the right way '', she ultimately makes the decision to return home, saying that she realized she hated graphic design and missed Scranton. A deleted scene for the episode shows Jim looking through Pam 's graphic design projects, which he thinks are `` cool '', as well as a notebook filled with pencil sketches, which he finds a lot more impressive than her graphic design projects, implying her talents lie in hand - drawn works. In `` Two Weeks '', Pam agrees to become Michael 's first saleswoman in his not - yet - established company, The Michael Scott Paper Co., as a supportive Jim looks on. When David Wallace makes an offer to buy the company Michael negotiates in order to get their jobs at Dunder Mifflin back instead, including adding Pam to the sales team. In `` Company Picnic '', Pam, after dominating the company volleyball tournament, injures her ankle during a game and is taken to the hospital against her wishes. At the hospital, the camera crew is stationed outside an exam room while a doctor updates Jim and Pam on her condition. There is no audio as the camera shows Jim and Pam embrace, looking shocked and ecstatic. It is implied that she is pregnant and is confirmed in the Season 6 premiere, `` Gossip ''. Jim and Pam marry early in the season, at Niagara Falls, during the highly anticipated, hour long episode, `` Niagara ''. The ending of the episode, in which their co-workers dance down the aisle, is an imitation of a viral YouTube video -- JK Wedding Entrance Dance. Following the wedding, a multi-episode story arc begins in which it is revealed that Michael hooked up with Pam 's mother the night of the wedding. The two break up during `` Double Date '', an episode that ends with Pam slapping Michael in response to his actions. In `` The Delivery '' of Season 6, Pam and Jim have their first child, a daughter named Cecelia Marie Halpert. Jenna Fischer was granted naming rights by show producers, and chose to name her after her own niece. Season 7 ( edit ) In `` Counseling '', Pam feels inadequate about her poor performance in sales and tricks Gabe into promoting her to a phony new salaried position called office administrator. In `` China '', Pam tries to use her authority as office administrator to force building manager Dwight to stop his annoying cost - cutting measures. Pam threatens to move the office to a new building, which Dwight discovers does n't exist. Pam saves face, however, when Dwight secretly has his assistant provide her with a book on building regulations that proves Dwight 's measures were not allowed. The episode is another example of Dwight 's covert protectiveness and fondness for Pam ( as previously demonstrated in `` The Injury '', `` Back from Vacation '', `` The Job '' and `` Diwali '' ) ; Mindy Kaling said during an online Q&A session that Dwight has a soft spot for her that he does not extend to anyone else at the office. She also uses her position to buy Erin Hannon an expensive desktop computer to replace the terrible one she had to use for years, as well as discreetly giving Andy a new computer, and giving Daryll three sick days. At the end of the episode she proudly says that she is, `` Full on corrupt. '' In `` Goodbye, Michael '', Pam almost misses saying good - bye to Michael, as she spends most of the day out of the office trying to price shredders. Jim figures out Michael 's plan to leave early and tells her by text. Pam reaches the airport in time and is the last person to see Michael before he leaves. Season 8 ( edit ) At the beginning of Season 8, Pam is revealed to be pregnant with her and Jim 's second child, Philip Halpert. The child coincided with Jenna Fischer 's actual pregnancy. She begins her maternity leave after `` Gettysburg ''. Pam returns in `` Jury Duty '', where she and Jim bring Cece and Phillip into the office. In both `` Tallahassee '' and `` Test the Store '' Pam is shown helping, and developing her friendship with Andy. Season 9 ( edit ) Early in season 9, Jim is restless about his life in Scranton and helps a friend start a Sports Marketing business, Athlead, in Philadelphia but he keeps it a secret from Pam until the third episode `` Andy 's Ancestry ''. Although Pam is happy for his decision, she is concerned about the fact that he had kept it a secret from her and she is later disturbed to hear about just how much of their money he had invested. Jim begins spending part of each work week in Philadelphia, but in `` Customer Loyalty '', the strain of this on Pam is evident when she breaks down in tears, and is comforted by Brian, the boom mic operator of the film crew. In `` Moving On '', Pam interviews for a job in Philadelphia to be closer to Jim, but she is turned off by the idea when her prospective new boss bears a striking resemblance in behavior to Michael Scott. Over dinner, Pam reveals to Jim that she does n't really want to move to Philadelphia after all. However, in `` Livin ' the Dream '', when Athlead is bought out and Jim is offered a large sum of money for 3 months to pitch the company across the country, Pam overhears Jim refuse the opportunity because of her and appears to have mixed feelings about this decision. In `` A.A.R.M. '', Pam tells Jim that she 's afraid that he will resent her for making him stay and that she might not be enough for him. Jim asks the camera crew to compile documentary footage of the two of them to show her. When she finishes the montage, which shows Jim taking back a letter he intended to give her with his teapot gift during Christmas ; Jim finally gives her that letter, and she reads it, visibly moved. In the series finale, which takes place a year later, she reveals to Jim that she secretly put the house on the market, so that they can move to Austin, Texas, and take his job back at Athlead ( now Athleap ). Co-worker relations ( edit ) From her years working the front desk, Pam has become well - acquainted with the Dunder - Mifflin staff and is consistently shown to have a thorough understanding of her coworkers ' personalities, including the more eccentric individuals Dwight Schrute and Michael Scott. She uses this familiarity to manipulate them, often for their and the company 's best interests ( such as her giving the staff elaborate instructions on how to handle a heartbroken Michael in `` The Chump '' ) but also occasionally for her own. This familiarity plays a large part in her efficiency as office administrator and was crucial to her being promoted to the previously non-existent position. Jim Halpert ( edit ) Main article : Jim Halpert The `` will they or wo n't they '' tension between Jim and Pam is a strong storyline in the early episodes of The Office, encompassing much of Seasons 1 to 3. In the opener of Season 4, the two characters are revealed to be dating, and as such, other character romances, such as the romance between fellow co-workers Dwight Schrute and Angela Martin, begin to move more toward the forefront of episodes. In Season 6, Jim and Pam are married in the season 's 4th and 5th episodes ( hour long ), a feat considered noteworthy by many television critics, as bringing together the two lead love interests in a television series is often thought to be a risky venture. Their child is born in the second half of the season, during another hour long, `` The Delivery ''. Pam and Jim 's second child is born during season 8. In season 9, their marriage becomes strained when Jim takes up a second job in Philadelphia. They ultimately decide to leave Dunder Mifflin together so Jim can pursue his dream job. Roy Anderson ( edit ) Main article : Roy Anderson ( The Office ) When the series begins, Pam is engaged to her high school sweetheart Roy Anderson ; this engagement is revealed to be three years old and running. They finally set a date, but Pam calls off the wedding at the last minute. They get back together once, briefly, but Pam is much more assertive, and finally breaks up with him after he has a violent outburst. Roy is deeply flawed - he is overbearing, neglectful, dismissive of her desire to be an artist, and offers her sex as a gift on Valentine 's Day. Jim comments in Season 2 that Pam does not like to `` bother '' Roy with her `` thoughts or feelings ''. He tells the camera crew that the only two problems in Pam 's life seemed to be Roy and her job at Dunder Mifflin. In the early seasons, there is a great deal of tension between Jim and Roy, with Roy often acting threateningly towards Jim. In `` Basketball '', when Jim starts to impress Pam with his basketball skills, Roy elbows Jim in the nose. In season 2, when Jim encourages Pam to pursue a graphic arts internship offered by Dunder Mifflin, Roy objects to the opportunity and eventually convinces her that the idea is foolish. Pam ultimately calls off her wedding to Roy, but they remain friendly and he is determined to win her back by being less of a jerk. She reconciles with Roy at Phyllis 's wedding as a response to watching Jim date Karen. In an attempt at a fresh start with Roy, Pam comes clean about Jim kissing her during `` Casino Night ''. Roy flies into a violent rage and Pam ends the relationship on the spot. The next day, Roy attempts to attack Jim in the office but is stopped by Dwight 's pepper spray and is summarily fired. After losing his job, Roy meets Pam for coffee and says that even though Jim is dating Karen, she should at least make an effort to date him ( inasmuch as she called off the wedding because of him ). In season 5, Jim and Roy run into each other at a bar and Roy learns that Jim and Pam are engaged. The mood is somewhat awkward, but Roy is congratulatory, but then makes a somewhat passive - aggressive comment, seemingly meant to make Jim feel insecure about his current role in Pam 's life, which tempts him to drive to Pratt, where she is attending art classes. Jim gets on the freeway, but changes his mind and remembers that he trusts Pam. Jim did n't want to treat Pam the same way Roy treated her. Michael Scott ( edit ) Main article : Michael Scott ( The Office ) In the series pilot, Michael is overtly rude to Pam and at one point fakes her firing, leaving her in tears. He often makes suggestive if harmless remarks about her beauty and general appearance, and at one point lies to the camera that they used to date ( inspiring a horrified `` WHAT??? '' from Pam when an interviewer relays the message to her ). However, his impulsive attempt to kiss her during Diwali is shot down and marked the end of any romantic dreams for Michael with Pam. Over time, the combination of Michael being supportive of her goals, her transition from a bad relationship with Roy to a great one with Jim as well as her finding a job she not only enjoys but is effective at in the office administrator position and Michael finding his own soulmate in Holly Flax made Pam soften her stance towards Michael, and the experience at the Michael Scott Paper Company further bonded them ( as did Michael 's decision to choose Pam instead of Ryan Howard as the only MSPC salesman to keep that job when Michael returned as Branch Manager ). Pam was furious at Michael for dating her mom Helene, and excoriated him at length during `` The Lover '' before eventually slapping him in `` Double Date '', but they once again were able to be civil to each other afterward. Pam does set up boundaries around her personal life that Michael ca n't cross, like telling him that he was n't Cece 's godfather. By Season 7, Pam acts as something of a guardian angel for Michael, steering him away from ( numerous ) bad ideas and towards his ( fewer but real ) good ones, such as his successful efforts to propose to Holly. In Michael 's finale `` Goodbye, Michael '', Pam spends the whole day looking for a shredder, believing that the next day Michael was leaving. As Michael takes off his microphone and heads down the airport concourse, Pam runs to him with no shoes and hugs him as he kisses her cheek. The two have a nice moment and he walks off, leaving her holding her shoes. She then tells the camera that he was happy, wanting to be an advanced rewards member, and was glad to be going home to see Holly. She then is there to watch Michael 's plane take off. In a deleted scene from `` The Inner Circle '', we learn Pam is flattered that Michael named his new puppy `` Pamela Beagsley '', and in `` The List '' she playfully teases Jim by calling their second child `` Little Michael Scott '', further proving that the two have developed a genuine friendship. Toby flenderson ( edit ) Main article : Toby Flenderson Toby, the Human Resources Representative for Dunder Mifflin in the Scranton branch, has a secret crush on Pam. In `` A Benihana Christmas '' she gives him her Dunder - Mifflin bathrobe, a display of friendly affection, after he spent the day feeling bad that Dwight took his. In Dunder Mifflin Infinity, Toby witnesses Pam kissing Jim Halpert in the break room, which prompts him to issue a memo about public displays of affection in the workplace. Later, when Jim and Pam admit they are dating and ask to fill out a disclosure form, he hesitates to give them a form saying they should wait and see. In `` Night Out '', Toby awkwardly rubs her knee while they share a laugh ( and while Jim sits just on her other side ), and the rest of the office watches in horror. In his mortification, Toby immediately announces that he is moving to Costa Rica before jumping over the locked gate and fleeing. In `` Goodbye, Toby '', Toby purchases a DSLR camera just to get a picture with Pam. On the eve of his departure, Pam confesses to the cameras that she always thought Toby was `` kind of cute ''. In `` Niagara '', Pam and Jim are late for their wedding and he is visibly excited at the prospect that the wedding might not happen. In `` Finale '', Pam and Toby dance with each other at Dwight 's wedding, with Toby beginning to cry as Pam comforts him. When she asks, `` is it me? '', he replies that `` it 's everything! ''. Appearances ( edit ) Pam Halpert has appeared in every episode with the exceptions of `` Business Ethics '' ( except for the deleted scenes ), `` St. Patrick 's Day '', and `` New Leads '' in which only her voice is heard, and several season 8 episodes from `` Mrs. California '' to `` Pool Party '', where she did not appear at all as Fischer was on maternity leave. Notes ( edit ) ^ Jump up to : Pam Beesly 's full name is Pamela Morgan Beesly ( later Pamela Morgan Halpert ). In `` The Lover '' Michael says to Pam, `` Pamela Morgan Beesly, you need to apologize to your mother right now. '' In `` Did I Stutter? '' Jim says to Pam, `` You know what would energize me?

{ "text": "Windows 7 editions - wikipedia Windows 7 editions Jump to : navigation, search Part of a series on Windows 7 New features Removed features Editions Windows 7, a major release of the Microsoft Windows operating system, was available in six different editions : Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium, Professional, Enterprise and Ultimate. Only Home Premium, Professional, and Ultimate were widely available at retailers. The other editions focus on other markets, such as the software development world or enterprise use. All editions support 32 - bit IA - 32 CPUs and all editions except Starter support 64 - bit x64 CPUs. 64 - bit installation media is not included in Home - Basic edition packages, but can be obtained separately from Microsoft. According to Microsoft, the features for all editions of Windows 7 are stored on the machine, regardless of which edition is in use. Users who wish to upgrade to an edition of Windows 7 with more features could use Windows Anytime Upgrade to purchase the upgrade and to unlock the features of those editions. Microsoft announced Windows 7 pricing information for some editions on June 25, 2009, and Windows Anytime Upgrade and Family Pack pricing on July 31, 2009. Contents ( hide ) 1 Main editions 2 Special - purpose editions 3 Upgrade editions 3.1 Upgrade compatibility 3.2 Anytime Upgrade editions 4 Derivatives 5 Comparison chart 6 See also 7 Notes 8 References 9 Further reading Main editions ( edit ) Since October 31, 2013, Windows 7 is no longer available in retail ( except for the Professional edition preinstalled which was discontinued on October 31, 2016 ) : Windows 7 Starter Windows 7 Starter is the edition of Windows 7 that contains the fewest features. It is only available in a 32 - bit version and does not include the Windows Aero theme. The desktop wallpaper and visual styles ( Windows 7 Basic ) are not user - changeable. Microsoft originally intended to restrict users of this edition to running three simultaneous applications but this limitation was dropped. This edition was available pre-installed on computers, especially netbooks or Windows Tablets, through system integrators or computer manufacturers using OEM licenses. Windows 7 Home Basic Windows 7 Home Basic was available in `` emerging markets '', in 141 different countries. Some Windows Aero options are excluded along with several new features. Home Basic, along with other editions sold in emerging markets, include geographical activation restriction, which requires users to activate Windows within a certain region or country. Windows 7 Home Premium This edition contains features aimed at the home market segment, such as Windows Media Center, Windows Aero and multi-touch support. It was available in both 32 - bit and 64 - bit versions. Windows 7 Professional This edition is targeted towards enthusiasts, small - business users and schools. It includes all the features of Windows 7 Home Premium, and adds the ability to participate in a Windows Server domain. Additional features include support for up to 192 GB of random - access memory ( increased from 16 GB ), operating as a Remote Desktop server, location aware printing, backup to a network location, Encrypting File System, Presentation Mode, Software Restriction Policies ( but not the extra management features of AppLocker ) and Windows XP Mode. It, too, was available in both 32 - bit and 64 - bit versions. Windows 7 Enterprise This edition targeted the enterprise segment of the market and was sold through volume licensing to companies which have a Software Assurance contract with Microsoft. Additional features include support for Multilingual User Interface ( MUI ) packages, BitLocker Drive Encryption, and UNIX application support. Not available through retail or OEM channels, this edition is distributed through Microsoft Software Assurance ( SA ). As a result it includes several SA - only benefits, including a license allowing the operating of diskless nodes ( diskless PCs ) and activation via VLK. Windows 7 Ultimate Windows 7 Ultimate contains the same features as Windows 7 Enterprise, but unlike the Enterprise edition, it was available to home users on an individual license basis. Windows 7 Home Premium and Windows 7 Professional users are able to upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate for a fee using Windows Anytime Upgrade if they wish to do so. Unlike Windows Vista Ultimate, the Windows 7 Ultimate edition does not include the Windows Ultimate Extras feature or any exclusive features as Microsoft had stated. Mainstream support for all editions ( new features and bug fixes ) ended as of January 2015, but extended support ( security updates ) will continue until January 2020. Special - purpose editions ( edit ) The main editions also can take the form of one of the following special editions : N and KN editions The features in the N and KN Editions are the same as their equivalent full versions, but do not include Windows Media Player or other Windows Media - related technologies, such as Windows Media Center and Windows DVD Maker due to limitations set by the European Union and South Korea, respectively. The cost of the N and KN Editions are the same as the full versions, as the Media Feature Pack for Windows 7 N or Windows 7 KN can be downloaded without charge from Microsoft. VL builds VL builds work with VLKs ( volume license keys ). Volume license keys can be used to activate multiple installations of the software without any mechanism ( such as a product activation mechanism ) checking the total number of installations. The license for the software will place restrictions on the use of the key. Typically, the license will limit the key to a fixed number of installations which must only be within the licensee 's organization and also place the licensee under an obligation to keep a record of the number of installations, keep the key confidential and possibly even require that the licensee organization makes itself available for a software licensing audit to verify that its use of the key is within the terms of the license. Upgrade editions ( edit ) In - place upgrade from Windows Vista with Service Pack 1 to Windows 7 with is supported if the processor architecture and the language are the same and their editions match ( see below ). In - place upgrade is not supported for earlier versions of Windows ; moving to Windows 7 on these machines requires a clean installation, i.e. removal of the old operating system, installing Windows 7 and reinstalling all previously installed programs. Windows Easy Transfer can assist in this process. Microsoft made upgrade SKUs of Windows 7 for selected editions of Windows XP and Windows Vista. The difference between these SKUs and full SKUs of Windows 7 is their lower price and proof of license ownership of a qualifying previous version of Windows. Same restrictions on in - place upgrading applies to these SKUs as well. In addition, Windows 7 is available as a Family Pack upgrade edition in certain markets, to upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium only. It gives licenses to upgrade three machines from Vista or Windows XP to the Windows 7 Home Premium edition. These are not full versions, so each machine to be upgraded must have one of these qualifying previous versions of Windows for them to work. In the United States, this offer expired in early December 2009. In October 2010, to commemorate the anniversary of Windows 7, Microsoft once again made Windows 7 Home Premium Family Pack available for a limited time, while supplies lasted. Upgrade compatibility ( edit ) There are two possible ways to upgrade to Windows 7 from an earlier version of Windows : An in - place install ( labelled `` Upgrade '' in the installer ), where settings and programs are preserved from an older version of Windows. This option is only sometimes available, depending on the editions of Windows being used, and is not available at all unless upgrading from Windows Vista. A clean install ( labelled `` Custom '' in the installer ), where all settings including but not limited to user accounts, applications, user settings, music, photos, and programs are erased entirely and the current operating system is erased and replaced with Windows 7. This option is always available and is required for all versions of Windows XP. The table below lists which upgrade paths allow for an in - place install. Note that in - place upgrades can only be performed when the previous version of Windows is of the same architecture. If upgrading from a 32 - bit installation to a 64 - bit installation or downgrading from 64 - bit installation to 32 - bit installation, a clean install is mandatory regardless of the editions being used.

Requires clean install. Anytime upgrade editions ( edit ) Microsoft also supported in - place upgrades from a lower edition of Windows 7 to a higher one, using the Windows Anytime Upgrade tool. There are currently three retail options available ( though it is currently unclear whether they can be used with previous installations of the N versions ). There are no family pack versions of the Anytime Upgrade editions. It was possible to use the Product Key from a Standard upgrade edition to accomplish an in - place upgrade ( e.g. Home Premium to Ultimate ). Starter to Home Premium Starter to Professional Starter to Ultimate Home Premium to Professional Home Premium to Ultimate Professional to Ultimate Available in retail, and at the Microsoft Store Derivatives ( edit ) Windows Thin PC On February 9, 2011, Microsoft announced Windows Thin PC, a branded derivative of Windows Embedded Standard 7 with Service Pack 1, designed as a lightweight version of Windows 7 for installation on low performance PCs as an alternative to using a dedicated thin client device. It succeeded Windows Fundamentals for Legacy PCs, which was based on Windows XP Embedded. Windows Thin PC was released on June 6, 2011. Windows Thin PC is supported until October 12, 2021. Embedded versions Windows 7 is also currently available as a form of Windows Embedded to developers, named as Windows Embedded Standard 7 ( previously known as Windows Embedded 2011, the newest being Windows Embedded Standard 7 with Service Pack 1 ). Windows Embedded Standard 7 is supported until October 13, 2020.

It continues to strongly influence the politics of India and reflects an opposition to the sectarian strands of Hindu nationalism and Muslim nationalism.

The largest extent of the Gupta Empire India has been unified under many emperors and governments in history. Ancient texts mention India under emperor Bharata and Akhand Bharat, these regions roughly form the entities of modern - day greater India. The Mauryan Empire was the first to unite all of India, and South Asia ( including much of Afghanistan ). In addition, much of India has also been unified under a central government by empires, such as the Gupta Empire, Rashtrakuta Empire, Pala Empire, Mughal Empire, Indian Empire etc. Conception of pan-south asianism India 's concept of nationhood is based not merely on territorial extent of its sovereignty. Nationalistic sentiments and expression encompass that India 's ancient history, as the birthplace of the Indus Valley Civilization and Vedic Civilization, as well as four major world religions -- Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism. Indian nationalists see India stretching along these lines across the Indian Subcontinent. Ages of War and invasion Expansion of the Mughal Empire from 1526 to 1700 The extent of Maratha Empire ( yellow ), without its vassals. India today celebrates many kings and queens for combating foreign invasion and domination, such as Shivaji of the Maratha Empire, Rani Laxmibai of Jhansi, Kittur Chennamma, Maharana Pratap of Rajputana, Prithviraj Chauhan and Tipu Sultan who fought the British. The kings of Ancient India, such as Chandragupta Maurya and Ashoka of the Magadha Empire, are also remembered for their military genius, notable conquests and remarkable religious tolerance. Akbar was a Mughal emperor, was known to have a good relationship with the Roman Catholic Church as well as with his subjects -- Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs and Jains. He forged familial and political bonds with Hindu Rajput kings. Although previous Sultans had been more or less tolerant, Akbar took religious intermingling to new level of exploration. He developed for the first time in Islamic India an environment of complete religious freedom. Akbar undid most forms of religious discrimination, and invited the participation of wise Hindu ministers and kings, and even religious scholars to debate in his court. Colonial - era nationalism Main articles : Indian Independence Movement, Indian rebellion of 1857, and Indian National Congress - Freedom Era See also : Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Aurobindo Ghosh, and 1905 Partition of Bengal The flag adopted in 1931 by the Congress and used by the Provisional Government of Free India during the Second World War. The consolidation of the British East India Company 's rule in the Indian subcontinent during the 18th century brought about socio - economic changes which led to the rise of an Indian middle class and steadily eroded pre-colonial socio - religious institutions and barriers. The emerging economic and financial power of Indian business - owners and merchants and the professional class brought them increasingly into conflict with the British Raj. A rising political consciousness among the native Indian social elite ( including lawyers, doctors, university graduates, government officials and similar groups ) spawned an Indian identity and fed a growing nationalist sentiment in India in the last decades of the nineteenth century. The creation in 1885 of the Indian National Congress in India by the political reformer A.O. Hume intensified the process by providing an important platform from which demands could be made for political liberalisation, increased autonomy, and social reform. The leaders of the Congress advocated dialogue and debate with the Raj administration to achieve their political goals. Distinct from these moderate voices ( or loyalists ) who did not preach or support violence was the nationalist movement, which grew particularly strong, radical and violent in Bengal and in Punjab. Notable but smaller movements also appeared in Maharashtra, Madras and other areas across the south. Swadeshi The controversial 1905 partition of Bengal escalated the growing unrest, stimulating radical nationalist sentiments and becoming a driving force for Indian revolutionaries. The Gandhian era Mohandas Gandhi pioneered the art of Satyagraha, typified with a strict adherence to ahimsa ( non-violence ), and civil disobedience. This permitted common individuals to engage the British in revolution, without employing violence or other distasteful means. Gandhi 's equally strict adherence to democracy, religious and ethnic equality and brotherhood, as well as activist rejection of caste - based discrimination and untouchability united people across these demographic lines for the first time in India 's history. The masses participated in India 's independence struggle for the first time, and the membership of the Congress grew over tens of millions by the 1930s. In addition, Gandhi 's victories in the Champaran and Kheda Satyagraha in 1918 -- 19, gave confidence to a rising younger generation of Indian nationalists that the British Raj could be defeated. National leaders like Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, Jawaharlal Nehru, Maulana Azad, Chakravarti Rajagopalachari, Mohandas Gandhi, Rajendra Prasad and Badshah Khan brought together generations of Indians across regions and demographics, and provided a strong leadership base giving the country political direction. More than just `` Indian '' See also : Demographics of India Indian nationalism is as much a diverse blend of nationalistic sentiments as its people are ethnically and religiously diverse. Thus the most influential undercurrents are more than just Indian in nature. The most controversial and emotionally charged fibre in the fabric of Indian nationalism is religion. Religion forms a major, and in many cases, the central element of Indian life. Ethnic communities are diverse in terms of linguistics, social traditions and history across India. Hindu Rashtra Main article : Hindu nationalism Hindu Flag of the Maratha Empire with two pennants. An important influence upon Hindu consciousness arises from the time of Islamic empires in India. Entering the 20th century, Hindus formed over 75 % of the population and thus unsurprisingly the backbone and platform of the nationalist movement. Modern Hindu thinking desired to unite Hindu society across the boundaries of caste, linguistic groups and ethnicity. In 1925, K.B. Hedgewar founded the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh in Nagpur, Maharashtra, which grew into the largest civil organisation in the country, and more potent, mainstream base of Hindu nationalism. Vinayak Damodar Savarkar coined the term Hindutva for his ideology that described India as a Hindu Rashtra, a Hindu nation. This ideology has become the cornerstone of the political and religious agendas of modern Hindu nationalist bodies like the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Vishwa Hindu Parishad. Hindutva political demands include revoking Article 370 of the Constitution that grants a special semi-autonomous status to the Muslim - majority state of Kashmir, adopting a uniform civil code, thus ending a special legal framework for Muslims. These particular demands are based upon ending laws that Hindu nationalists consider as offering special treatment to Muslims. The qaum Main articles : Indian Muslim nationalism and Two - Nation Theory In 1906 -- 1907, the All India Muslim League was founded, created due to the suspicion of Muslim intellectuals and religious leaders with the Indian National Congress, which was perceived as dominated by Hindu membership and opinions. However, Mahatma Gandhi 's leadership attracted a wide array of Muslims to the independence struggle and the Congress Party. The Aligarh Muslim University and the Jamia Millia Islamia stand apart -- the former helped form the Muslim league, while the JMI was founded to promote Muslim education and consciousness upon nationalistic and Gandhian values and thought. While prominent Muslims like Allama Iqbal, Muhammad Ali Jinnah and Liaquat Ali Khan embraced the notion that Hindus and Muslims were distinct nations, other major leaders like Mukhtar Ahmed Ansari, Maulana Azad and most of Deobandi clerics strongly backed the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi and the Indian independence struggle, opposing any notion of Muslim nationalism and separatism. The Muslim school of Indian nationalism failed to attract Muslim masses and the Islamic nationalist Muslim League enjoyed extensive popular political support. State of Pakistan was ultimately formed following Partition of India Nationalism and politics Prime Minister Indira Gandhi led India to victory in 1971 against Pakistan, imposed the Indian Emergency, led it to become a nuclear power state in 1974 and is blamed for the Khalistan insurgency and Operation Blue Star -- a controversial blend of nationalism and hard politics. The political identity of the Indian National Congress, India 's largest political party and one which controlled government for over 45 years, is reliant on the connection to Mohandas K. Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru, and the Nehru - Gandhi family which has controlled the Congress since independence. The Congress Party 's fortunes up till the 1970s were single - handedly propelled by its legacy as the flagship of India 's Independence Movement, and the core platform of the party today evokes that past strongly, considering itself to be the guardian of India 's independence, democracy and unity. Muslims have remained loyal voters of the Congress Party, seen as defender of Nehruvian secularism. In contrast, the Bharatiya Janata Party employs a more aggressively nationalistic expression. The BJP seeks to preserve and spread the culture of the Hindus, the majority population. It ties nationalism with the aggressive defence of India 's borders and interests against archrivals China and Pakistan, with the defence of the majority 's right to be a majority. Religious nationalist parties include the Shiromani Akali Dal, which is closely identified with the creation of a Sikh - majority state in Punjab and includes many Sikh religious leaders in its organisation. In Maharashtra, the Shiv Sena uses the legacy of the independent Maratha kingdom under famous figures like Shivaji to stir up support, and has adopted Hindutva as well. In Assam, the Asom Gana Parishad is a more state - focused party, arising after the frustration of the United Liberation Front of Asom ( ULFA ) as a benevolent expression of Assamese nationalism. In Tamil Nadu came the first of such parties, the Dravidar Kazhagam ( DK ). Today the DK stands for a collection of parties, with the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam ( DMK ), the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam ( AIADMK ), the Pattali Makkal Katchi ( PMK ) and the Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam ( MDMK ). Caste - based politics invite the participation of the Bahujan Samaj Party and the party of Laloo Prasad Yadav, who build upon the support of poor low - caste and dalit Hindus in the northern, and most populated states of India like Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. Almost every Indian state has a regional party devoted solely to the culture of the native people of that state. Nationalism and military conflicts Main article : Military History of India Further information : Indo - Pakistani Wars, Sino - Indian War, and Chola incident The Indian Armed Forces, over a million troops strong, is the 3rd largest army in the world Military history, both past and present, serves as a source of nationalist sentiment in India. The first reference to armies is found in the Vedas and the epics Ramayana and Mahabaratha. There were many powerful dynasties in India such as the Maha Janapadas, Shishunaga Empire, Gangaridai Empire, Nanda Empire, Maurya Empire, Shunga Empire, Kharavela Empire, Kuninda Kingdom, Chola Empire, Chera Empire, Pandyan Empire, Satavahana Empire, Western Satrap Empire, Kushan Empire, Vakataka Empire, Kalabhras Kingdom, Gupta Empire, Pallava Empire, Kadamba Empire, Western Ganga Kingdom, Vishnukundina Empire, Chalukya Empire, Harsha Empire, Shahi Kingdom, Eastern Chalukya Kingdom, Pratihara Empire, Pala Empire, Rashtrakuta Empire, Paramara Kingdom, Yadava Empire, Chaulukya kingdom, Western Chalukya Empire, Hoysala Empire, Sena Empire, Eastern Ganga Empire, Kakatiya Kingdom, Kalachuri Empire, Delhi Sultanate, Deccan Sultanates, Ahom Kingdom, Vijayanagar Empire, Mysore Kingdom, Mughal Empire, Maratha Empire, Sikh Empire etc. The modern Army of India was raised under the British Raj in the 19th century. Today the Republic of India maintains the world 's third largest armed forces with over a million troops strong. The official defence budget stands at ₹ 1,644,151.9 million ( US $26 billion ) but the actual spending on the armed forces is estimated to be much higher. The army is undergoing rapid expansion and modernisation with plans to have an active military space program, missile defence shield, and nuclear triad capability.

Its campus is located in the western United States in Colorado, immediately north of Colorado Springs in El Paso County. The Academy 's stated mission is `` to educate, train, and inspire men and women to become leaders of character, motivated to lead the United States Air Force in service to our nation. '' It is the youngest of the five U.S. service academies, having graduated its first class 59 years ago in 1959, however it is the third in seniority. Graduates of the Academy 's four - year program receive a Bachelor of Science degree, and are commissioned as second lieutenants in the U.S. Air Force. The Academy is also one of the largest tourist attractions in Colorado, attracting approximately a million visitors each year. Admission is extremely competitive, with nominations divided equally among Congressional districts. Recent incoming classes have had about 1,200 cadets ; historically, just under 1,000 of those will graduate. Tuition along with room and board are all paid for by the Air Force. Cadets receive a monthly stipend, but incur a commitment to serve a number of years of military service after graduation. The program at the Academy is guided by the Air Force 's core values of `` Integrity First, Service Before Self, and Excellence in All We Do '', and based on four `` pillars of excellence '' : military training, academics, athletics and character development. In addition to a rigorous military training regimen, cadets also take a broad academic course load with an extensive core curriculum in engineering, humanities, social sciences, basic sciences, military studies and physical education. All cadets participate in either intercollegiate or intramural athletics, and a thorough character development and leadership curriculum provides cadets a basis for future officership. Each of the components of the program is intended to give cadets the skills and knowledge that they will need for success as officers.

As early as 1918, Lieutenant Colonel A.J. Hanlon wrote, `` As the Military and Naval Academies are the backbone of the Army and Navy, so must the Aeronautical Academy be the backbone of the Air Service. No service can flourish without some such institution to inculcate into its embryonic officers love of country, proper conception of duty, and highest regard for honor. '' Other officials expressed similar sentiments. In 1919, Congressman Charles F. Curry introduced legislation providing for an Academy, but concerns about cost, curriculum and location led to its demise. In 1925, air power pioneer General Billy Mitchell testified on Capitol Hill that it was necessary `` to have an air academy to form a basis for the permanent backbone of your air service and to attend to the... organizational part of it, very much the same way that West Point does for the Army, or that Annapolis does for the Navy. '' Mitchell 's arguments did not gain traction with legislators, and it was not until the late 1940s that the concept of the United States Air Force Academy began to take shape. Support for an air academy got a boost with the National Security Act of 1947, which provided for the establishment of a separate Air Force within the United States military. As an initial measure, Secretary of the Air Force W. Stuart Symington negotiated an agreement where up to 25 % of West Point and Annapolis graduates could volunteer to receive their commissions in the newly established Air Force. This was only intended to be a short term fix, however, and disagreements between the services quickly led to the establishment of the Service Academy Board by Secretary of Defense James Forrestal. In January 1950, the Service Academy Board, headed by Dwight D. Eisenhower, then president of Columbia University, concluded that the needs of the Air Force could not be met by the two existing U.S. service academies and that an air force academy should be established. Following the recommendation of the Board, Congress passed legislation in 1954 to begin the construction of the Air Force Academy, and President Eisenhower signed it into law on 1 April of that year. The legislation established an advisory commission to determine the site of the new school. Among the panel members were Charles Lindbergh, General Carl Spaatz, and Lieutenant General Hubert R. Harmon, who later became the Academy 's first superintendent. The original 582 sites considered were winnowed to three : Alton, Illinois ; Lake Geneva, Wisconsin ; and the ultimate site at Colorado Springs, Colorado. The Secretary of the Air Force, Harold E. Talbott, announced the winning site on 24 June 1954. Meanwhile, Air Training Command ( ATC ) began developing a detailed curriculum for the Academy program. Early years ( edit ) Cadets from the first USAFA class lined up for physical training at Lowry AFB in 1955 The early Air Force Academy leadership had the model of West Point and Annapolis in designing an appropriate curriculum, faculty, and campus. The Academy 's permanent site had not yet been completed when the first class entered, so the 306 cadets from the Class of 1959 were sworn in at a temporary site at Lowry Air Force Base in Denver on 11 July 1955. While at Lowry, they were housed in renovated World War II barracks. There were no upper class cadets to train the new cadets, so the Air Force appointed a cadre of `` Air Training Officers '' ( ATOs ) to conduct training. The ATOs were junior officers, many of whom were graduates of West Point, Annapolis, and The Citadel. They acted as surrogate upper class cadets until the upper classes could be populated over the next several years. The Academy 's dedication ceremony took place on that first day and was broadcast live on national television, with Walter Cronkite covering the event. Arnold W. Braswell, a native of Minden, Louisiana, was commander of the original four cadet squadrons at the academy 1955 to 1958. In developing a distinctive uniform for cadets, the Air Force turned to Hollywood. Famed director Cecil B. DeMille designed the cadet parade uniform ; it is still worn by cadets today. The Class of 1959 established many other important traditions that continue until the present. The first class adopted the Cadet Honor Code, and chose the falcon as the Academy 's mascot. On 29 August 1958, the wing of 1,145 cadets moved to the present site near Colorado Springs, and less than a year later the Academy received accreditation. The first USAFA class graduated and was commissioned on 3 June 1959. Vietnam ( edit ) The Vietnam War was the first war in which Academy graduates fought and died. As such, it had a profound effect on the development of the character of the Academy. Due to the need for more pilots, Academy enrollment grew significantly during this time. The size of the graduating classes went from 217 cadets in 1961 to 745 cadets in 1970. Academy facilities were likewise expanded, and training was modified to better meet the needs of the wartime Air Force. The Jacks Valley field training area was added, the Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape ( SERE ) program was expanded, and light aircraft training started in 1968. Many Academy graduates of this era served with distinction in the Vietnam War. F - 4 Phantom II pilot Steve Ritchie ' 64 and weapon systems officer Jeffrey Feinstein ' 68 each became aces by downing five enemy aircraft in combat. One hundred forty - one graduates died in the conflict ; thirty - two graduates became prisoners of war. Lance Sijan, ' 65, fell into both categories and became the first Academy graduate to be awarded the Medal of Honor due to his heroism while evading capture and in captivity. Sijan Hall, one of the cadet dormitories, is named in his memory. The effects of the anti-war movement were felt at the Academy as well. Because the Academy grounds are generally open to the public, the Academy often became a site for protests by anti-war demonstrators. Regular demonstrations were held at the Cadet Chapel, and cadets often became the targets of protesters ' insults. Other aggravating factors were the presence in the Cadet Wing of cadets motivated to attend the Academy for reasons of draft avoidance, and a number of highly publicized cheating scandals. Morale sometimes suffered as a consequence. Women at the Academy ( edit ) One of the most significant events in the history of the Academy was the admission of women. On 7 October 1975, President Gerald R. Ford signed legislation permitting women to enter the United States service academies. On 26 June 1976, 157 women entered the Air Force Academy with the Class of 1980. Because there were no female upper class cadets, the Air Training Officer model used in the early years of the Academy was revived, and fifteen young female officers were brought in to help with the integration process. The female cadets were initially segregated from the rest of the Cadet Wing but were fully integrated into their assigned squadrons after their first semester. On 28 May 1980, 97 of the original female cadets completed the program and graduated from the Academy -- just over 10 % of the graduating class. Women have made up just over 20 % of the most recent classes, with the class of 2016 having the highest proportion of any class, 25 %. Many of the women from those early classes went on to achieve success within the Cadet Wing and after graduation ( see list of Academy graduates below ). Despite these successes, integration issues were long apparent. Female cadets have had consistently higher dropout rates than men and have left the Air Force in higher numbers than men. Campus and facilities ( edit ) Interior of Cadet Chapel Initial proposals for the Air Force Academy location were between Prescott, Arizona ; Linn, Wisconsin ; Alton, Illinois and Colorado Springs, Colorado. The selection committee cut the final list to only Alton, Linn and Colorado Springs. Final selection was awarded to Colorado Springs. The campus of the Academy covers 18,500 acres ( 29 sq mi ; 75 km ) on the east side of the Rampart Range of the Rocky Mountains, just north of Colorado Springs. Its elevation is normally given as 7,258 feet ( 2,212 m ) above sea level, which is at the cadet area. The Academy was designed by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill ( SOM ) and lead architect Walter Netsch. SOM partner John O. Merrill moved from Chicago to a Colorado Springs field office to oversee the construction and to act as a spokesman for the project. The most controversial aspect of the SOM - designed Air Force Academy was its chapel. It was designed by SOM architect Walter Netsch, who at one point was prepared to abandon the design ; but the accordion - like structure is acknowledged as an iconic symbol of the academy campus. The Cadet Area ( edit ) Main article : United States Air Force Academy, Cadet Area The buildings in the Cadet Area were designed in a distinct, modernist style, and make extensive use of aluminum on building exteriors, suggesting the outer skin of aircraft or spacecraft. On 1 April 2004, fifty years after Congress authorized the building of the Academy, the Cadet Area at the Academy was designated a National Historic Landmark. The main buildings in the Cadet Area are set around a large, square pavilion known as `` the Terrazzo, '' and the most recognizable is the 17 - spired Cadet Chapel. The subject of controversy when it was first built, it is now considered among the most prominent examples of modern American academic architecture. Other buildings on the Terrazzo include Vandenberg Hall and Sijan Hall, the two dormitories ; Mitchell Hall, the cadet dining facility ; and Fairchild Hall, the main academic building, which houses academic classrooms, laboratories, research facilities, faculty offices and the Robert F. McDermott Library. The Aeronautics Research Center ( also known as the `` Aero Lab '' ) contains numerous aeronautical research facilities, including transonic, subsonic, low speed, and cascade wind tunnels ; engine and rocket test cells ; and simulators. The Consolidated Education and Training Facility ( CETF ) was built in 1997 as an annex to Fairchild Hall. It contains chemistry and biology classrooms and labs, medical and dental clinics, and civil engineering and astronautics laboratories. The Cadet Area also contains an observatory and a planetarium for academic use and navigation training. The cadet social center is Arnold Hall, located just outside the Cadet Area, which houses a 3000 - seat theater, a ballroom, a number of lounges, and dining and recreation facilities for cadets and visitors. Harmon Hall is the primary administration building, which houses the offices of the Superintendent and the Superintendent 's staff. The Cadet Area also contains extensive facilities for use by cadets participating in intercollegiate athletics, intramural athletics, physical education classes and other physical training. Set amid numerous outdoor athletic fields are the ' ' Cadet Gymnasium ' ' and the Cadet Fieldhouse. The Fieldhouse is the home to Clune Arena, the ice hockey rink and an indoor track, which doubles as an indoor practice facility for a number of sports. Falcon Stadium, located outside of the Cadet Area, is the football field and site of the graduation ceremonies. Commemorative displays ( edit ) The Class Wall is located just below the Cadet Chapel Many displays around the Cadet Area commemorate heroes and air power pioneers, and serve as an inspiration to cadets. The ' ' War Memorial ' ', a black marble wall located just under the flagpole on the Terrazzo, is etched with the names of Academy graduates who have been killed in combat. The ' ' Honor Wall, ' ' overlooking the Terrazzo, is inscribed with the Cadet Honor Code : `` We will not lie, cheat, or steal, nor tolerate among us anyone who does. '' Just under the Cadet Chapel, the ' ' Class Wall ' ' bears the crests of each of the Academy 's graduating classes. The crest of the current first ( senior ) class is displayed in the center position. Another display often used as a symbol of the Academy, the ' ' Eagle and Fledglings Statue ' ' was given as a gift to the Academy in 1958 by the personnel of Air Training Command. It contains the inscription by Austin Dusty Miller, `` Man 's flight through life is sustained by the power of his knowledge. '' Static air - and spacecraft displays on the Academy grounds include an F - 4, F - 15, F - 16 and F - 105 on the Terrazzo ; a B - 52 by the North Gate ; a T - 38 and A-10 at the airfield ; an F - 100 by the preparatory school ; a SV - 5J lifting body next to the aeronautics laboratory ; and a Minuteman III missile in front of the Fieldhouse. The Minuteman III was removed 9 years ago in August 2008 due to rusting and other internal damage. The `` Core Values Ramp '' ( formerly known as the `` Bring Me Men Ramp '' ) leads down from the main Terrazzo level toward the parade field. On in - processing day, new cadets arrive at the base of the ramp and start their transition into military and Academy life by ascending the ramp to the Terrazzo. From 1964 to 2004, the portal at the base of the ramp was inscribed with the words `` Bring me men... '' taken from the poem, `` The Coming American, '' by Samuel Walter Foss. In a controversial move following the 2003 sexual assault scandal, the words `` Bring me men... '' were taken down and replaced with the Academy 's ( later adopted as the Air Force 's ) core values : `` Integrity first, service before self, and excellence in all we do. '' Air Academy high school ( edit ) Main article : Air Academy High School With an enrollment of over 1300, Air Academy High School is the only high school in the United States built on a military academy. It ranks in the top ten in the state in academic standards. Part of School District 20 ( D20 ), its marching band regularly places in the top ten in state championships. D20 also maintains an elementary school on the academy grounds. Other locations on campus ( edit ) Cadets have the opportunity to fly gliders as part of their training Other locations on campus serve support roles for cadet training and other base functions. Doolittle Hall is the headquarters of the Academy 's Association of Graduates and also serves as the initial reception point for new cadets arriving for Basic Cadet Training. It is named after General Jimmy Doolittle. The Goldwater Visitor Center, named after longtime proponent of the Academy United States Senator Barry Goldwater, is the focal point for family, friends and tourists visiting the Academy grounds. The Academy Airfield is used for training cadets in airmanship courses, including parachute training, soaring and powered flight. Interment at the ' ' Academy Cemetery ' ' is limited to Academy cadets and graduates, certain senior officers, certain Academy staff members, and certain other family members. Air power notables Carl Spaatz, Curtis E. LeMay and Robin Olds, are interred here. The United States Air Force Academy Preparatory School ( usually referred to as the `` Prep School '' ) is a program offered to selected individuals who were not able to obtain appointments directly to the Academy. The program involves intense academic preparation ( particularly in English, math and science ), along with athletic and military training, meant to prepare the students for appointment to the Academy. A high percentage of USAFA Preparatory School students ( known as `` Preppies '' ) earn appointments to the Academy following their year at the Prep School. The Honor Code and character education ( edit ) More than 1,300 basic cadets salute during the ceremonial Oath of Office formation on 26 June 2009. The Cadet Chapel is in the background. The Cadet Honor Code is the cornerstone of a cadet 's professional training and development -- the minimum standard of ethical conduct that cadets expect of themselves and their fellow cadets. The Honor Code was developed and adopted by the Class of 1959, the first class to graduate from the Academy and has been handed down to every subsequent class. The Code itself is simple : We will not lie, steal, or cheat, nor tolerate among us anyone who does. In 1984, the Cadet Wing voted to add an `` Honor Oath, '' which was to be taken by all cadets. The oath is administered to fourth class cadets ( freshmen ) when they are formally accepted into the Wing at the conclusion of Basic Cadet Training. The oath remains unchanged since its adoption in 1984 and consists of a statement of the code, followed by a resolution to live honorably ( the phrase `` So help me God '' is now optional ) : We will not lie, steal or cheat, nor tolerate among us anyone who does. Furthermore, I resolve to do my duty and to live honorably, ( so help me God ). -- `` Honor Code Handbook '' Cadets are considered the `` guardians and stewards '' of the Code. Cadet honor representatives are chosen by senior leadership, and oversee the honor system by conducting education classes and investigating suspected honor violations. Cadets throughout the Wing are expected to sit on Honor Boards as juries that determine whether their fellow cadets violated the code. Cadets also recommend sanctions for violations. The presumed sanction for an honor violation is disenrollment, but mitigating factors may result in the violator being placed in a probationary status for some period of time. This `` honor probation '' is usually only reserved for cadets in their first two years at the Academy. To reinforce the importance of honor, character and integrity to future officers, cadets are given an extensive character and leadership curriculum. The Academy 's Center for Character and Leadership Development provides classroom, seminar, workshop and experiential - based learning programs to all cadets, beginning when they enter Basic Cadet Training and continuing each year through their last semester at the Academy. The Center 's programs, when coupled with the Honor Code and Honor System, establish a foundation for the `` leaders of character '' that the Academy aspires to produce. Organization ( edit ) The Academy 's organization is unusual in a number of respects. Because it is primarily a military unit, much of the Academy 's structure is set up like that of any other Air Force Base. This is particularly true of the non-cadet units -- most assigned to the 10th Air Base Wing -- that provide base services such as security, communications, and engineering. Because the Academy is also a university, however, the organization of the faculty and the Cadet Wing have some aspects that are more similar to the faculty and student body at a civilian college. The Cadet Wing ( edit ) Main article : United States Air Force Academy Cadet Wing Air Force Academy cadets celebrate after graduation. The student body of the Academy is known as the Cadet Wing. The students, called `` cadets '', are divided into four classes, based on their year in school, much like a civilian college. They are not referred to as freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors, however, but as fourth -, third -, second - and first class cadets, respectively. Fourth class cadets ( freshmen ) are often referred to as `` doolies, '' a term derived from the Greek word δοῦλος ( `` doulos '' ) meaning `` slave '' or `` servant. '' Members of the three lower classes are also referred to as `` 4 degrees, '' `` 3 degrees '' or `` 2 degrees '' based on their class. First - class cadets ( seniors ) are referred to as `` firsties. '' In the military structure of the Cadet Wing, first class cadets hold the positions of cadet officers, second class cadets act as the cadet non-commissioned officers and third class cadets represent the cadet junior non-commissioned officers. The Cadet Wing is divided into four groups, of ten cadet squadrons each. Each cadet squadron consists of about 110 cadets, roughly evenly distributed among the four classes. Selected first -, second - and third - class cadets hold leadership, operational and support jobs at the squadron, group and wing levels. Cadets live, march and eat meals with members of their squadrons. Military training and intramural athletics are conducted by squadron as well. Each cadet squadron and cadet group is supervised by a specially selected active duty officer called an Air Officer Commanding ( AOC ). In the case of a cadet squadron, the AOC is normally an active duty Air Force major. For a cadet group, the AOC is normally an active - duty lieutenant colonel. These officers have command authority over the cadets, counsel cadets on leadership and military career issues, oversee military training and serve as role models for the future officers. In addition to an AOC, cadet squadrons and groups are also supervised by an active duty non-commissioned officer known as an Academy Military Trainer ( AMT ), who fulfills a similar job as the AOC. Base organization ( edit ) See also : List of Superintendents of the United States Air Force Academy The Superintendent of the Academy is the commander and senior officer. The position of Superintendent is normally held by an active - duty lieutenant general. The superintendent 's role is roughly similar to that of the president of a civilian university. As such, the Superintendent oversees all aspects of the Academy, including military training, academics, athletics, admissions and also functions as the installation commander of the Academy Reservation. The Academy is a Direct Reporting Unit within the Air Force, so the Superintendent reports directly to the Chief of Staff of the Air Force. Those reporting to the Superintendent include the Dean of the Faculty and Commandant of Cadets, each of whom typically holds the rank of brigadier general, as well as the Director of Athletics, the Commander of the 10th Air Base Wing and the Commander of the Prep School, each of whom typically holds the rank of colonel. The 10th Air Base Wing provides all base support functions that exist at other air force bases, including civil engineering, communications, medical support, personnel, administration, security and base services. The Preparatory School provides an academic, athletic and military program for qualified young men and women who may need certain additional preparation prior to acceptance to the Academy. All flying programs at the Academy are run by the 306th Flying Training Group, which reports to the Air Education and Training Command, ensuring uniformity of flight training with the rest of the Air Force. Board of visitors ( edit ) Congressional oversight of the Academy is exercised through a Board of Visitors ( BOV ), established under Title 10, United States Code, Section 9355. The board inquires into the morale, discipline, curriculum, instruction, physical equipment, fiscal affairs, academic methods and other matters relating to the Academy. The board meets at least four times per year and prepares semi-annual reports containing its views and recommendations submitted concurrently to the Secretary of Defense, the Senate Armed Services Committee, and the House Armed Services Committee. The 15 members of the BOV are variously appointed by the President of the United States, the Vice President, the Senate and House Armed Services Committees and the Speaker of the House of Representatives. Since 2006, the board has been required to include at least two Academy graduates. In July 2009, Speaker Nancy Pelosi appointed Colorado Congressman Jared Polis to the BOV, the first openly gay person to serve on a service academy 's advisory board.

Cadets ' military training occurs throughout their time at the Academy, but is especially intense during their four summers. The first military experience for new cadets ( called `` basic cadets '' ) occurs during the six weeks of Basic Cadet Training ( BCT ), in the summer before their fourth class ( freshman ) year. During BCT, also known as `` beast, '' cadets learn the fundamentals of military and Academy life under the leadership of a cadre of first and second class cadets. Basic cadets learn military customs and courtesies, proper wear of the uniform, drill and ceremony, and study military knowledge and undergo a rigorous physical training program. During the second half of BCT, basic cadets march to Jacks Valley, where they complete the program in a field encampment environment. Upon completion of BCT, basic cadets receive their fourth - class shoulder boards, take the Honor Oath and are formally accepted as members of the Cadet Wing. The fourth - class ( freshman ) year is traditionally the most difficult at the Academy, militarily. In addition to their full academic course loads, heavy demands are placed on fourth class cadets outside of class. Fourth class cadets are expected to learn an extensive amount of military and Academy - related knowledge and have significant restrictions placed on their movement and actions -- traversing the Cadet Area only by approved routes ( including staying on the marble `` strips '' on the Terrazzo ) and interacting with upper class cadets using a very specific decorum. The fourth class year ends with `` Recognition, '' a physically and mentally demanding several - day event which culminates in the award of the Prop and Wings insignia to the fourth class cadets, signifying their ascension to the ranks of upper class cadets. After Recognition, the stringent rules of the fourth class year are relaxed. After the first year, cadets have more options for summer military training. Between their fourth and third class years, cadets undergo training in Air Force operations in a deployed environment ( called Expeditionary Skills and Evasion Training ( ESET ) ) and may participate in flying gliders, cyber-warfare training, satellite and space operations, unmanned systems, or free - fall parachute training. From the late 1960s until the mid-1990s, cadets also completed SERE training in the Jacks Valley complex between their fourth - and third - class years. This program was replaced with Combat Survival Training ( CST ) in 1995 and done away with entirely in 2005. In the summer of 2008, the CST program was reintroduced, but was cut again in 2011 and replaced with ESET for the summer of 2012 ( the Class of 2015 was the first to participate in ESET ). During their last two summers, cadets may serve as BCT cadre, travel to active duty Air Force bases and participate in a variety of other research, aviation and leadership programs. They may also be able to take courses offered by other military services, such as the U.S. Army 's Airborne School at Fort Benning, Georgia, or the Air Assault School, at Fort Campbell, Kentucky. During the academic year, all cadets take formal classes in military theory, operations and leadership. Academics ( edit ) This section does not cite any sources.

( August 2011 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The Eagle and Fledglings Statue at the south end of the Air Gardens is inscribed with the quote, `` Man 's flight through life is sustained by the power of his knowledge '' The Air Force Academy is an accredited four - year university offering bachelor 's degrees in a variety of subjects. Active - duty Air Force officers make up approximately 70 percent of the faculty, with the balance long - term civilian professors, visiting professors from civilian universities and instructors from other U.S. and allied foreign military services. In recent years, civilians have become a growing portion of senior faculty. Every Dean of the Faculty ( equivalent to a Provost at most universities ) has always been an active - duty brigadier general, although technically, a civilian may hold the position. The Dean, the Vice Dean, and each academic department chair hold the academic rank of Permanent Professor. Permanent Professors are nominated by the President of the United States and approved by the Senate, and can serve until age 64. All graduates receive a Bachelor of Science degree, regardless of major, because of the technical content of the core requirements. Cadets may choose from a variety of majors, including engineering, the basic sciences, social sciences and humanities, as well as in a variety of divisional or inter-disciplinary subjects. The academic program has an extensive core curriculum, in which all cadets take required courses in the sciences, engineering, social sciences, humanities, military studies and physical education. Approximately sixty percent of a cadet 's course load is mandated by the core curriculum. As a result, most of a cadet 's first two years are spent in core classes. While core requirements remain significant during the third and fourth years, cadets have more flexibility to focus in their major areas of study, allowing them to participate in international and inter-service Academy exchange programs. Traditionally, the academic program at the Air Force Academy ( as with military academies in general ) has focused heavily on science and engineering, with the idea that many graduates would be expected to manage complex air, space and information technology systems. As a result, the Academy 's engineering programs have traditionally been ranked highly. Over time, however, the Academy broadened its humanities offerings. About 55 % of cadets typically select majors in non-technical disciplines. The academy 's recent implementation of a computer and network security program may represent a return to form. Externally funded research at the Air Force Academy has been a large and growing part of the technical majors. Air Force has ranked highest of all undergraduate - only universities in federally funded research as reported by the National Science Foundation, surpassing $60 million in 2010. Many cadets are involved in research via their major, coordinated in more than a dozen Academy research centers, including the Institute for Information Technology Applications, the Institute for National Security Studies, the Air Force Humanities Institute, the Eisenhower Center for Space and Defense Studies, the Life Sciences Research Center, the Academy Center for Physics Education Research, among others. Athletics ( edit ) Main article : Air Force Falcons United States Air Force Academy Mascot Echo, one of USAFA 's trained prairie falcon mascots All cadets at the Academy take part in the school 's extensive athletic program. The program is designed to enhance the physical conditioning of all cadets, to develop the physical skills necessary for officership, to teach leadership in a competitive environment and to build character. The primary elements of the athletic program are intercollegiate athletics, intramural athletics, physical education, and the physical fitness tests. Physical education ( edit ) Cadets are required to take physical education courses in each of their four years at the Academy. The classes cover a wide range of activities : Swimming and water survival build confidence while teaching important survival skills. Combative sports such as boxing, wrestling, judo and unarmed combat build confidence, teach controlled aggression and develop physical fitness. Cadets also take classes in team sports such as basketball and soccer, in lifetime sports such as tennis and golf and on the physiology of exercise. Fitness tests ( edit ) Each semester, cadets must pass two athletic fitness tests : a 1.5 mi ( 2.4 km ) run to measure aerobic fitness, and a 15 - minute, 5 - event, physical fitness test consisting of pull - ups, a standing long jump, sit - ups, push - ups and a 600 yd ( 550 m ) sprint. Failure to pass a fitness test usually results in the cadet being assigned to reconditioning until he can pass the test. Repeated failures can lead to disenrollment. Intramural athletics ( edit ) All cadets are required to compete in intramural athletics for their entire time at the Academy, unless they are on - season for intercollegiate athletics. Intramural sports put cadet squadrons against one another in many sports, including basketball, cross-country, flag football, ice hockey, racquetball, flickerball, rugby union, boxing, soccer, mountain biking, softball, team handball, tennis, Ultimate, wallyball and volleyball. Winning the Wing Championship in a given sport is a particular source of pride for a cadet squadron. Intercollegiate athletics ( edit ) See also : Air Force Falcons The Academy 's intercollegiate program has 17 men 's and 10 women 's NCAA sanctioned teams, nicknamed the ' ' Falcons. ' ' Men 's teams compete in football, baseball, basketball, ice hockey, cross-country, fencing, golf, gymnastics, indoor and outdoor track, lacrosse, soccer, swimming and diving, tennis, water polo and wrestling. Women 's teams include basketball, cross-country, fencing, gymnastics, indoor and outdoor track, swimming and diving, soccer, tennis and volleyball. The Academy fields a coeducational team in rifle. In addition, the Academy also sponsors two non-NCAA programs : cheerleading and boxing. The Academy also has several club sports, such as rugby, that compete intercollegiately. The men 's and women 's programs compete in NCAA 's Division I, with the football team competing in Division I FBS. Most teams are in the Mountain West Conference ; however, the wrestling team competes in the Big 12 Conference, the gymnastics teams compete in the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation ; the men 's soccer team competes in the Western Athletic Conference ; the men 's hockey team competes in Atlantic Hockey, the water polo team competes in the Western Water Polo Association, the coeducational rifle team competes in the Patriot Rifle Conference, and the men 's lacrosse team competes in the Southern Conference. The men 's boxing team competes in the National Collegiate Boxing Association. For a number of years, only the men 's teams competed in Division I. Women 's teams competed in Division II and were once members of the Continental Divide Conference, then the Colorado Athletic Conference. With new NCAA legislation, beginning in 1996, women 's teams also competed in Division I. Presentation of the Commander in Chief 's Trophy to the Air Force Falcons, May 2, 2017 Air Force has traditional service academy rivalries with Navy and Army. The three service academies compete for the Commander - in - Chief 's Trophy in football each year. Air Force Falcons football has had the best showing of the three, winning the trophy 18 of its 34 years. The Academy also has an in - state rivalry with Colorado State University, which is located in Fort Collins and is a fellow member of the Mountain West Conference. The boxing team, led for 31 years by Coach Ed Weichers, has won 18 national championships. The Academy 's men 's and women 's rugby teams have each won multiple national championships and the women 's side recently had two players selected for the United States national team. The football team has played in 17 bowl games and the basketball team has had strong showings in the last several years, qualifying for the NCAA tournament and, most recently, making the final four of the 2007 NIT Tournament. The men 's ice hockey team won the last two Atlantic Hockey conference tournaments, made the first ever appearance by a service academy in the NCAA hockey tournament in 2007, and made a repeat appearance in 2008. The Air Force Academy 's Men 's Hockey team recently lost in the `` Elite Eight '' of hockey in double overtime. This marked the farthest they had gone in the post-season in school history and the longest an Atlantic Hockey Association team has made it into the post-season. In 2014, Academy Superintendent Lt. Gen. Michelle Johnson responded to reports of allegations of sexual assault and drug use at a December 2011 party by calling for a review of the Athletic Department by the Inspector General. Airmanship ( edit ) Cessna T - 41D of the 557th Flying Training Squadron. 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. ( December 2015 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Cadets have the opportunity to take part in several airmanship activities to include soaring, parachuting, and powered flight. Airmanship activities at the Academy are primarily conducted by the 306th Flying Training Group. The 94th Flying Training Squadron trains cadets in basic airmanship principles through several flights in TG - 16A sailplanes. Each year, several soaring students are selected to become instructor pilots to teach new classes of soaring students. Some of these cadet instructor pilots also compete on the Soaring Racing Team or Acrobatics Team in national competitions. Cadets also have the opportunity to take a parachuting course conducted by the 98th Flying Training Squadron. Each year, hundreds of cadets earn their Basic Parachutist Badge by completing five jumps in the program. A number of cadets are selected for further training and become members of The Wings of Blue, the U.S. Air Force Parachute Team. A powered flight program is conducted under the 557th Flying Training Squadron to expose cadets to the basics of powered flight. The program uses T - 53A aircraft to offer cadets basic flight training and the opportunity to solo. The U.S. Air Force Academy Flying Team is composed of ~ 26 cadets selected to compete in National Intercollegiate Flying Association competitions. The Flying Team uses T - 41D and T - 51A aircraft to compete in precision landing, navigation, and message drop events. Admissions ( edit ) To be eligible to enter the Academy, a candidate must : Be a citizen of the United States ( unless nominated by an official of a country invited by the Department of Defense ) Be unmarried with no dependents Be of good moral character Be at least 17, but less than 23 years of age by 1 July of the year of entry Meet high leadership, academic, physical and medical standards In addition to the normal application process, all candidates must secure a nomination to the Academy, normally from a U.S. Senator or U.S. Representative. Each member of Congress and the Vice President can have five appointees attending the Air Force Academy at any time. The process for obtaining a congressional nomination is not political and candidates do not have to know their senator or representative to secure a nomination. Additional nomination slots are available for children of career military personnel, children of disabled veterans or veterans who were killed in action, or children of Medal of Honor recipients. The admissions process is a lengthy one and applicants usually begin the paperwork during their junior year of high school. Class size ( edit ) There were 306 cadets admitted for the first class ( class of 1959 ). By 1961, class size was down to 271, but due to the need for officers in the Vietnam War, grew to 745 admittees in 1970, and peaking in 1974, with 1,620, and 1975, with 1,626, the largest number ever admitted. After that class sizes shrank down to about 1,300. Despite a peak of 1,350 ( admitted 2004 ) and 1,418 ( admitted 2005 ), from 1995 to 2005 class size averaged about 1,250 freshmen. From 2005 to 2010 class sizes were slightly down from the 2005 peak. The 2013 class ( beginning 2009 ) had 1,286 and the 2014 class ( beginning Fall 2010 ) had 1,285. Cutbacks were ordered in 2011, so by 2012, the entering class ( class of 2016 ) was down to about 1,050. The current class ( class of 2019 ) began with 1,248 students. Traditions ( edit ) Prop and Wings ( edit ) Traditional Prop and Wings insignia, currently used at the U.S. Air Force Academy The Prop and Wings insignia of the Air Service ( 1918 -- 26 ), Air Corps ( 1926 -- 41 ), and Army Air Forces ( 1941 -- 47 ) became the insignia of upperclass cadets at the Air Force Academy beginning with the first class, 1959. The insignia is given to fourth class ( freshmen ) cadets at the Recognition Ceremony near the end of their first year rite of passage. The standard insignia uses the design of the Air Corps Prop and Wings, except that it is all silver instead of the gold wings and silver prop of the earlier design. Cadets who have ancestors who served in the Air Service, Air Corps, or Army Air Forces, or those who are direct descendants of Air Force Academy graduates, are eligible to wear a silver prop and gold wings set of prop and wings. Cadet sabre ( edit ) The Air Force Academy cadet sabre is carried by first class ( senior ) cadets in command positions in the Cadet Wing. All graduates are normally entitled to own no more than two sabres : one for personal use and one to be given as a gift. The Plaque and Sabre Award is the highest award given by the Cadet Wing to dignitaries and other honorees. Class ring ( edit ) The American college tradition of the class ring began with the class of 1835 at the U.S. Military Academy. From there, it spread to the U.S. Naval Academy in the class of 1869. The Air Force Academy continued the tradition, beginning with the first class, 1959, and so is the only service academy to have had class rings for every class since its founding. The Air Force ring is distinctive for being white gold instead of the yellow gold used at the other academies. Each class designs its own class crest ; the only requirements being that each crest include all the elements on the Class of 1959 's crest : the class number, the class year, the Polaris star, and the eagle. One side of the ring bears the academy crest, while the other side bears the class crest ; the center bezel bears the words United States Air Force Academy. Cadets choose their own stones for the center of the ring. The rings are received at the Ring Dance at the beginning of the Graduation Week festivities for the class ahead of the ring recipients. The rings traditionally are placed in glasses of champagne and are caught in the teeth following a toast. During the cadet 's first class ( senior ) year, the ring is worn with the class crest facing the wearer ; following graduation, the ring is turned so that the class crest faces out. The rings of all the academies were originally designed to be worn on the left hand, so that the wearer reads the name of the academy on the bezel while a cadet or midshipman and others can read it after graduation, the rings are now worn on either hand. The Academy 's Association of Graduates ( AOG ) accepts rings of deceased graduates which are melted down to form an ingot of white gold from which a portion of all future rings are made. Both the academy 's Association of Graduates and the Academy Library maintain displays of class rings. Controversies ( edit ) Honor scandals ( edit ) The first Honor scandal broke in 1965, when a resigning cadet reported knowing of more than 100 cadets who had been involved in a cheating ring. One hundred and nine cadets were ultimately expelled. Cheating scandals plagued the Academy again in 1967, 1972, 1984, 2004, 2007, 2012, and 2014. Following each of these events, the Academy thoroughly examined the etiology of the mass cheating in addition to alleged excessive pressures that the academic system at the time placed on cadets and made changes in attempts to reduce the opportunities for future incidents Allegations of sexual harassment, assault and gender bias ( edit ) See also : 2003 United States Air Force Academy sexual assault scandal The sexual assault scandal that broke in 2003 forced the Academy to look more closely at how effectively women had been integrated into cadet life ; concerns with sexual assault, hazing of male cadets, and the disciplinary process during this period were detailed in a 2010 book by a former cadet. Following the scandal and rising concerns about sexual assault throughout the U.S. military, the Department of Defense established a task force to investigate sexual harassment and assault at each of the United States service academies. The report also revealed 92 incidents of reported sexual assault. At the same time, the Academy implemented programs to combat sexual assault, harassment and gender bias. The new programs actively encourage prompt sexual assault reporting. The Academy 's decisive actions of zero tolerance were praised by officials and experts. Following the 2003 crisis, the Department of Defense directed its attention to the problem of sexual harassment and assault at the military academies. The Department of Defense claimed that the program was successful although during the school year 2010 -- 11 there were increased reports of sexual assault at the academy ; however, one goal of the program is increased reporting. There have been several attempts to prosecute cadets for rape since 2003, but only three have been successful convictions, citing the confidential informant program that ran from 2011 - 2012. The informant program was led by former AFOSI agent Brandon Enos, AFOSI 's most successful agent in Air Force Academy 's history in combating sexual assault and drug use amongst cadets. After the confidential informant program was mysteriously disbanded in 2013 on orders from General Johnson, sexual assault reporting fell by half. On 5 January 2012 rape charges were preferred against cadets in three unrelated cases. To help combat these problems, the United States Air Force Office of Special Investigations ( AFOSI ) created a system of cadet informants to hunt for misconduct among students. According to The New York Times in Academic Year 2014, `` after the informant program ended with no further convictions, reports fell by half. '' The New York Times has cited a letter to Congress from former AFOSI Agent, Staff Sergeant Brandon Enos, who said that Lieutenant General Michael C. Gould, the superintendent from 2009 to 2013 and a former quarterback on the team, had repeatedly interfered in cases involving football players. In turn Gould said to the Times that the suggestion that he had interfered with the investigation `` preposterous. '' Gould was found guilty by a report from the Pentagon in June 2016 of interfering with AFOSI investigations from 2011 - 2012, including blocking an investigation into the football coaches. Gould was removed from the College Football Selection Committee but was able to retain his retirement pay. These and other problems again rose to national prominence in the summer of 2014 when The Gazette broke an investigation into behavior by Academy cadets and faculty that included allegations of drug use, alcohol abuse, cheating, and sexual assault. This behavior, described as `` so wild that AFOSI leaders canceled a planned 2012 sting out of concern that undercover agents and confidential informants at a party would n't be enough to protect women from rape, '' prompted the Academy superintendent to call for an investigation of the Academy 's athletic department. Religious atmosphere ( edit ) In 2005, allegations surfaced that some Evangelical Christian cadets and staff were effectively engaging in religious proselytizing at the Academy. These allegations, along with concerns over how the Air Force handles other religious issues, prompted Academy graduate Michael L. Weinstein to file a lawsuit against the Air Force. An Air Force panel investigated the accusations and issued a report on 22 June 2005. The panel 's investigation found a `` religious climate that does not involve overt religious discrimination, but a failure to fully accommodate all members ' needs and a lack of awareness over where the line is drawn between permissible and impermissible expression of beliefs. '' Evidence discovered during the investigation included antisemitic remarks, official sponsorship of a showing of the film The Passion of the Christ and a locker room banner that said academy athletes played for `` Team Jesus. '' In response to the panel 's findings, the Air Force released new guidelines to discourage public prayers at official events or meetings and to facilitate worship by non-Christian religions. In 2010 the academy set up an outdoor worship area for cadets following Wicca, Neo-Druidism, or other earth - based religions to practice their faiths. A 2010 survey found that 41 percent of academy cadets who identified themselves as non-Christian reported they were subjected to unwanted religious proselytizing at least once or twice last year at the school. The survey 's results, however, showed that the number of cadets who felt pressured to join in religious activities had declined from previous years. Colorado congressman Mike Coffman criticized the academy for resisting calls to release details of the survey 's results. In 2012, 66 House Republicans complained about policies set in place the last September to curtail requirements to attend religious events.

Graduates who have lost their medical qualification for commissioning while at their final semester at Academy ( a small number each year ) may receive a degree but are not commissioned. Foreign cadets will commission into their home country 's armed forces. ^ Jump up to : Air Force Academy Admissions Web site, last visited 22 Mar 2007. Archived 27 June 2009 at the Wayback Machine.

The obligation attaches on the first day of a cadet 's second class year, and non-graduates after that point are expected to fulfill their obligations in enlisted service or pay back full tuition. ^ Jump up to : Steven A.

( May 2012 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Shelley Morrison Rachel Mitrani ( 1936 - 10 - 26 ) October 26, 1936 ( age 81 ) New York City, New York U.S. Other names Rachel Dominguez Occupation Actress Years active 1961 -- 2016 Spouse ( s ) Walter Dominguez ( m. 1973 ) Website http://shelleymorrison.com/ Shelley Morrison ( born Rachel Mitrani ; October 26, 1936 ) is an American actress. Early in her career, she was sometimes credited as Rachel Domínguez. Morrison has been a theater and television actress since the early 1960s, predominantly as a character actress in ethnic roles. Her most recognizable role has been as the maid Rosario Salazar in the NBC comedy television series Will & Grace, which she played from 1999 to 2006. She was a regular performer on the sitcom The Flying Nun playing Sister Sixto, a nun known mostly for mangling the English language ; and she continued in television guest roles until securing a recurring role in the soap opera General Hospital in 1982. Contents ( hide ) 1 Early life 2 Career 3 Cancer 4 Activism 5 Personal life 6 References 7 External links Early Life ( edit ) Morrison was born in New York City, the only daughter of Sephardic Jewish ( specifically, Spanish Jewish ) parents, originally surnamed Mitrani. She was raised in the Bronx, New York, and her first language was Spanish. Her father, Maurice Morris, was a clothing manufacturer. Morrison moved to California with her parents in 1946. Career ( edit ) Morrison went on to study acting at Los Angeles City College and landed early film roles in Divorce American Style and How to Save a Marriage ( And Ruin Your Life ). From 1965 to 1967, she appeared four times as an American Indian, Linda Little Trees, in the NBC western television series Laredo ( in the episodes `` Yahoo '', `` Jinx '', `` No Bugles, One Drum '', and `` Split the Difference. '' ) In 1967, she capitalized on her own experiences learning English to play the Puerto Rican nun, Sister Sixto, who had trouble with English in Sally Field 's show The Flying Nun. She would keep this role until the show was cancelled in 1970. Morrison 's most widely recognizable recent role has been as the Salvadoran maid Rosario Inés Consuelo Yolanda Salazar on the NBC sitcom Will & Grace. She appeared in 68 episodes from 1999 to 2006 ( as well as a brief cameo appearance on the September 2016 Will & Grace webisode in support of Hillary Clinton 's presidential campaign ). The role was originally created for a brief one - episode appearance, but Rosario was so popular with viewers that she became a recurring character. In addition to sparring with her libertine and very spoiled employer, Karen Walker ( Megan Mullally ), Rosario married Karen 's gay friend Jack McFarland ( Sean Hayes ) to prevent her impending deportation. Among approximately 25 film appearances and 200 television appearances, Morrison has portrayed a maid or housekeeper on 32 separate occasions. Morrison had just informed her agent not to offer her any more `` maid parts '' when the call came for Will & Grace. In 2017, NBC revived Will & Grace for a new series of episodes. On August 3, 2017, co-creator Max Mutchnick announced to reporters that Morrison had been asked to reprise her role as Salazar on the show, but that she had ultimately decided to retire completely from acting. Although her last official acting role was a voiceover in the 2012 animated film Foodfight!, her final appearance as an actress was the 2016 election - themed webisode of Will & Grace. Cancer ( edit ) Morrison underwent a lumpectomy for breast cancer in 1988, followed by a full mastectomy when the cancer recurred in 1998. She had lung cancer and underwent surgery to remove the upper third of her right lung. Morrison 's lung cancer went into remission, but her breast cancer returned after the treatment in 1988 and 1998. Activism ( edit ) Morrison endorsed U.S. Congressman Dennis Kucinich for President in 2008, actively fundraising, contributing to his campaign, and seeking votes for him. Personal Life ( 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. ( October 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Morrison lives with her husband of many years, Walter Domínguez, a Mexican - American, in a three - story apartment in Los Angeles -- the same apartment in which her father had settled the family five decades earlier. Morrison and Dominguez adopted three sons and three daughters ( adopted through a traditional Native American ceremony ).

( December 2009 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The UK Singles Chart was first compiled in 1969. However the records and statistics listed here date back to 1952 because the Official Charts Company counts a selected period of the New Musical Express chart ( only from 1952 to 1960 ) and the Record Retailer chart from 1960 to 1969 as predecessors for the period prior to 11 February 1969, where multiples of competing charts coexisted side by side. For example, the BBC compiled its own chart based on an average of the music papers of the time ; many songs announced as having reached number one on BBC Radio and Top of the Pops prior to 1969 may not be listed here as chart - toppers since they do not meet the legacy criteria of the Charts Company.

Simply playing or singing on a single without credit will not count, or the top positions would almost certainly belong to session musicians such as Clem Cattini who is reported to have played drums on over 40 number ones.

Seven months later Eddie Fisher became the first act to have two number one singles, with `` I 'm Walking Behind You '' following `` Outside of Heaven ''. In November 1953 Frankie Laine scored a third number one single with `` Answer Me '' and a fourth with `` A Woman in Love '' in October 1956. In 1960 `` It 's Now or Never '' gave Elvis Presley his fifth number - one single. He increased the record ten times until June 1965 when `` Crying in the Chapel '' became his 15th number one. The Beatles then took the record with a 16th, `` Get Back '', and 17th, `` The Ballad of John and Yoko '', their last number one to date. After his death in August 1977, Elvis scored a 17th chart topper with `` Way Down '' to tie. Westlife hold the record for getting into double - figures in the shortest time ( 2 years and 10 months ( ie. 149 weeks ) - more than 3 months quicker than The Beatles ( who took 165 weeks ). Unlike Westlife, however, The Beatles tended to spend several weeks at the summit, slowing down their release rate. ) In 2002, having been used in a Nike World Cup advertisement, a 1968 Elvis song `` A Little Less Conversation '' was remixed as Elvis vs JXL and went straight to the top for 4 weeks, giving Elvis his 18th number one single. Celebrating the 70th anniversary of his birthday, all of Elvis ' 18 number ones were re-issued in 2005. Despite being re-issues, they were given different catalogue numbers and therefore count as separate singles, giving Elvis 21 number one singles. ^ Note : The Shadows, or The Drifters as they were originally called, are credited on twelve # 1 singles. Seven of these share credit with Cliff Richard and some lists recognise only their 5 chart - topping singles without Richard. Paul McCartney ( 25 ) is the highest charting male and British performer, Geri Halliwell ( 14 ) is the highest charting British female performer, Mark Feehily of Westlife ( 15 ) is the highest charting male performer from the LGBT group, Elvis Presley ( 21 ) is the highest charting solo, male, non-British and American performer, Madonna ( 13 ) is the highest charting female non-British performer, Spice Girls ( 9 ) is the highest charting girl group, Beatles ( 17 ) is the highest charting group, male group and British group, ABBA ( 9 ) is the highest charting Swedish and mixed group, Shane Filan of Westlife ( 16 ) is the highest charting solo Irish act, Westlife ( 15 ) is the highest charting non-British group, pop group and Irish group with most number one appearances in the UK Singles Chart.

It spent nine weeks at number one, dropped down for a week, returned to number one for six weeks, dropped down for a further week and returned to number one for a third time for three weeks. The longest unbroken run at number one is `` ( Everything I Do ) I Do It for You '' by Bryan Adams, which spent 16 consecutive weeks in 1991. Below is a table of all singles that have spent 10 or more weeks at the top of the charts : Position Artist Single Year Weeks Frankie Laine `` I Believe '' * 1953 18 weeks Bryan Adams `` ( Everything I Do ) I Do It for You '' 1991 16 weeks Wet Wet Wet `` Love Is All Around '' 1994 15 weeks Drake ( feat.

Biggest - selling singles artists ( edit ) Artists with references have been updated as the original list was published by the Official Charts Company during 2012. This means that positions on this list may not be 100 % accurately reflected as most of the artists are still active and releasing new singles. This includes all singles ( solo, duets and as featuring artists ) and in all formats ( vinyl, cassette, CD, digital ). All singles with collaborations are counted multiple times on the list. Collaborations are important especially for artists of the 21 century. For instance, Rihanna is number 2 on the list but if only solo singles were counted or her shared sales were splitted she would not even be among the TOP 10 best selling artists as around 70 % of her sales are from collaborations.

The addition of downloads to the UK charts meant that singles could reach number one with no physical copy being released. The first single to achieve this was Gnarls Barkley 's `` Crazy '' in early 2006. Since 2014, audio streaming has been included in the calculation of chart position, so it is now possible for a single to reach number one without selling any copies ( if it were only available on streaming services ). In the week ending 24 September 2015, `` What Do You Mean? '' by Justin Bieber became the first number one with over half of its chart sales made up of streaming points, with sales of 30,000 and 36,000 points from 3.6 million streams. Since the incorporation of streaming into the singles chart, the Official Charts Company have continued to compile a sales only chart. In week ending 27 April 2017 `` Sign of the Times '' by Harry Styles became the first number one in the sales only chart to sell less than `` No Tomorrow '' by Orson, with 16,686 copies.

The biggest selling single to never make the top 5 is `` Chasing Cars '' by Snow Patrol, which peaked at number 6 and has sold more copies than `` The A Team ''.

In early September the UK Official Download Chart was launched, and a new live recording of Westlife 's `` Flying Without Wings '' was the first number - one. The first number one to chart without ever receiving a UK physical release was Coldplay 's `` Viva la Vida '' in June 2008. As of 2012, very few songs are given a physical release, and almost the entire chart is released solely on digital download. On 22 June 2008, both songs in the top two were there on downloads alone : `` Viva la Vida '' by Coldplay `` Closer '' by Ne - Yo On 31 August 2008, the top three were download - only at the time : `` I Kissed a Girl '' by Katy Perry `` Pjanoo '' by Eric Prydz `` Disturbia '' by Rihanna On 1 March 2009, the top four were all download - only : `` My Life Would Suck Without You '' by Kelly Clarkson `` Love Story '' by Taylor Swift `` Poker Face '' by Lady Gaga `` Dead and Gone '' by T.I.

Therefore, for example, The Shadows score for their own hits as well as those where they backed Cliff Richard, and Diana Ross scores for both her solo hits and those as Diana Ross & the Supremes. However, Paul McCartney, for example, is not credited for any of The Beatles ' hits as he does not have a separate credit, ( although his hits with Wings do count towards his total as they are classed together in the Guinness Book of Hit Singles ).

Eden Kane scored a no. 1 with `` Well I Ask You '' in 1961 and Peter Sarstedt got a no. 1 with `` Where Do You Go To ( My Lovely ) '' in 1969. A third brother Robin Sarstedt ( real name Clive Sarstedt ) made the Top 3 in 1976 with `` My Resistance Is Low '' making them the only set of three brothers to have separate solo Top Three singles. The first song recorded completely in a foreign language to reach number - one on the UK Singles Charts is `` Je t'aime... moi non plus '' by Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin in 1969 ( French ). The first artist to reach No. 1 on the UK Official Singles Chart based on both sales and streaming figures was Ariana Grande with `` Problem '' on 6 July 2014. The first artist to have singles debut at numbers 1 and 2 simultaneously was Ed Sheeran on 13 January 2017 with `` Shape of You '' and `` Castle on the Hill ''. The first artist to have every song from their album enter the top 20 on the singles chart was Ed Sheeran with ÷. The first female artist to have a top ten single in five consecutive decades is Cher ( 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s and 2000s ). Kylie Minogue follows with a top ten single in four consecutive decades ( 1980s, 1990s, 2000s and 2010s ). Melanie C is the first female performer to top the charts as a solo artist, as part of a duo, quartet and quintet. The first song to have four separate spells at number one with the same artist line - up was `` Three Lions '' by Baddiel & Skinner and The Lightning Seeds. The original 1996 version had two one - week stints in 1996, while the 1998 re-work had one three - week spell at the top. 2018 FIFA World Cup has propelled it to a record - breaking fourth outing at the top in July 2018.

( April 2014 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Chair of St. Augustine, the archiepiscopal throne in Canterbury Cathedral, Kent The formal history of the Church of England is traditionally dated by the Church to the Gregorian mission to England by Saint Augustine of Canterbury in AD 597. As a result of Augustine 's mission, Christianity in England, from Anglican ( English ) perspective, came under the authority of the Pope. However, in 1534 King Henry VIII declared himself to be supreme head of the Church of England. This resulted in a schism with the Papacy. As a result of this schism, many non-Anglicans consider that the Church of England only existed from the 16th century Protestant Reformation. However, Christianity arrived in the British Isles around AD 47 during the Roman Empire according to Gildas 's De Excidio et Conquestu Britanniae. Archbishop Restitutus and others are known to have attended the council of Arles in 314. Christianity developed roots in Sub-Roman Britain and later Ireland, Scotland, and Pictland. The Anglo - Saxons ( Germanic pagans who progressively seized British territory ) during the 5th, 6th and 7th centuries, established a small number of kingdoms and evangelisation of the Anglo - Saxons was carried out by the successors of the Gregorian mission and by Celtic missionaries from Scotland. The church in Wales remained isolated and was only brought within the jurisdiction of English bishops several centuries later. The Church of England became the established church by an Act of Parliament in the Act of Supremacy, beginning a series of events known as the English Reformation. During the reign of Queen Mary I and King Philip, the church was fully restored under Rome in 1555. However, the pope 's authority was again explicitly rejected after the accession of Queen Elizabeth I when the Act of Supremacy 1558 was passed. Catholic and Reformed factions vied for determining the doctrines and worship of the church. This ended with the 1558 Elizabethan Settlement, which developed the understanding that the church was to be `` both Catholic and Reformed ''.

Mayo, Ireland Main article : Celtic Christianity According to medieval traditions, Christianity arrived in Britain in the 1st or 2nd century, although stories involving Joseph of Arimathea, King Lucius, and Fagan are now usually accounted as pious forgeries. The earliest historical evidence of Christianity among the native Britons is found in the writings of such early Christian Fathers as Tertullian and Origen in the first years of the 3rd century, although the first Christian communities probably were established some decades earlier. Three Romano - British bishops, including Restitutus, metropolitan bishop of London, are known to have been present at the Council of Arles in 314. Others attended the Council of Sardica in 347 and that of Ariminum in 360. A number of references to the church in Roman Britain are also found in the writings of 4th century Christian fathers. Britain was the home of Pelagius, who opposed Augustine of Hippo 's doctrine of original sin. The first recorded Christian martyr in Britain, St Alban, is thought to have lived in the early 4th century, and his prominence in English hagiography is reflected in the number of parish churches of which he is patron. Irish Anglicans trace their origins back to the founding saint of Irish Christianity ( St Patrick ) who is believed to have been a Roman Briton and pre-dated Anglo - Saxon Christianity. Anglicans also consider Celtic Christianity a forerunner of their church, since the re-establishment of Christianity in some areas of Great Britain in the 6th century came via Irish and Scottish missionaries, notably followers of St Patrick and St Columba. Augustine and the Anglo - Saxon period ( edit ) Main article : Christianization of the Anglo - Saxon Kingdoms The Anglo - Saxon church at Escomb, County Durham St Mary 's Church, Stow - in - Lindsey, Lincolnshire ( partly Anglo - Saxon and partly Norman ) Typical rural Church of England church, Wiltshire, Easter 2007 Hereford is one of the church 's forty - three cathedrals, many with histories stretching back many centuries Anglicans traditionally date the origins of their Church to the arrival in the Kingdom of Kent of the Gregorian mission to the pagan Anglo - Saxons led by the first Archbishop of Canterbury, St Augustine, at the end of the 6th century. Alone among the kingdoms then existing Kent was Jutish, rather than Anglian or Saxon. However, the origin of the Church in the British Isles extends farther back ( see above ). Æthelberht of Kent 's queen Bertha, daughter of Charibert, one of the Merovingian kings of the Franks, had brought a chaplain ( Liudhard ) with her. Bertha had restored a church remaining from Roman times to the east of Canterbury and dedicated it to Saint Martin of Tours, the patronal saint of the Merovingian royal family. This church, Saint Martin 's, is the oldest church in England still in use today. Æthelberht himself, though a pagan, allowed his wife to worship God in her own way, at St Martin 's. Probably influenced by his wife, Æthelberht asked Pope Gregory I to send missionaries, and in 596 the Pope dispatched Augustine, together with a party of monks. Augustine had served as praepositus ( prior ) of the monastery of Saint Andrew in Rome, founded by Gregory. His party lost heart on the way and Augustine went back to Rome from Provence and asked his superiors to abandon the mission project. The pope, however, commanded and encouraged continuation, and Augustine and his followers landed on the Island of Thanet in the spring of 597. Æthelberht permitted the missionaries to settle and preach in his town of Canterbury, first in Saint Martin 's Church and then nearby at what later became St Augustine 's Abbey. By the end of the year he himself had been converted, and Augustine received consecration as a bishop at Arles. At Christmas 10,000 of the king 's subjects underwent baptism. Augustine sent a report of his success to Gregory with certain questions concerning his work. In 601 Mellitus, Justus and others brought the pope 's replies, with the pallium for Augustine and a present of sacred vessels, vestments, relics, books, and the like. Gregory directed the new archbishop to ordain as soon as possible twelve suffragan bishops and to send a bishop to York, who should also have twelve suffragans. Augustine did not carry out this papal plan, nor did he establish the primatial see at London ( in the Kingdom of the East Saxons ) as Gregory intended, as the Londoners remained heathen. Augustine did consecrate Mellitus as bishop of London and Justus as bishop of Rochester. Pope Gregory issued more practicable mandates concerning heathen temples and usages : he desired that temples become consecrated to Christian service and asked Augustine to transform pagan practices, so far as possible, into dedication ceremonies or feasts of martyrs, since `` he who would climb to a lofty height must go up by steps, not leaps '' ( letter of Gregory to Mellitus, in Bede, i, 30 ). Augustine re-consecrated and rebuilt an old church at Canterbury as his cathedral and founded a monastery in connection with it. He also restored a church and founded the monastery of St Peter and St Paul outside the walls. He died before completing the monastery, but now lies buried in the Church of St Peter and St Paul. In 616 Æthelberht of Kent died. The kingdom of Kent and those Anglo - Saxon kingdoms over which Kent had influence relapsed into heathenism for several decades. During the next 50 years Celtic missionaries evangelised the kingdom of Northumbria with an episcopal see at Lindisfarne and missionaries then proceeded to some of the other kingdoms to evangelise those also. Mercia and Sussex were among the last kingdoms to undergo Christianization. The Synod of Whitby in 664 forms a significant watershed in that King Oswiu of Northumbria decided to follow Roman rather than Celtic practices. The Synod of Whitby established the Roman date for Easter and the Roman style of monastic tonsure in Britain. This meeting of the ecclesiastics with Roman customs and local bishops following Celtic ecclesiastical customs was summoned in 664 at Saint Hilda 's double monastery of Streonshalh ( Streanæshalch ), later called Whitby Abbey. It was presided over by King Oswiu, who did not engage in the debate but made the final ruling. A later archbishop of Canterbury, the Greek Theodore of Tarsus, also contributed to the organisation of Christianity in England, reforming many aspects of the church 's administration. Medieval consolidation ( edit ) As in other parts of medieval Europe, tension existed between the local monarch and the Pope about civil judicial authority over clerics, taxes and the wealth of the Church, and appointments of bishops, notably during the reigns of Henry II and John. As begun by Alfred the Great in 871 and consolidated under William the Conqueror in 1066, England became a politically unified entity at an earlier date than other European countries. One of the effects was that the units of government, both of church and state, were comparatively large. England was divided between the Province of Canterbury and the Province of York under two archbishops. At the time of the Norman Conquest, there were only 15 diocesan bishops in England, increased to 17 in the 12th century with the creation of the sees of Ely and Carlisle. This is far fewer than the numbers in France and Italy. A further four medieval dioceses in Wales came within the Province of Canterbury. Following the depredations of the Viking invasions of the 9th century, most English monasteries had ceased to function and the cathedrals were typically served by small communities of married priests. King Edgar and his Archbishop of Canterbury Dunstan instituted a major reform of cathedrals at a synod at Winchester in 970, where it was agreed that all bishops should seek to establish monasticism in their cathedrals following the Benedictine rule, with the bishop as abbot. Excavations have demonstrated that the reformed monastic cathedrals of Canterbury, Winchester, Sherborne and Worcester were rebuilt on a lavish scale in the late 10th century. However, renewed Viking attacks in the reign of Ethelred, stalled the progress of monastic revival. In 1072, following the Norman Conquest, William the Conqueror and his archbishop Lanfranc sought to complete the programme of reform. Durham and Rochester cathedrals were refounded as Benedictine monasteries, the secular cathedral of Wells was moved to monastic Bath, while the secular cathedral of Lichfield was moved to Chester, and then to monastic Coventry. Norman bishops were seeking to establish an endowment income entirely separate from that of their cathedral body, and this was inherently more difficult in a monastic cathedral, where the bishop was also titular abbot. Hence, following Lanfanc 's death in 1090, a number of bishops took advantage of the vacancy to obtain secular constitutions for their cathedrals -- Lincoln, Sarum, Chichester, Exeter and Hereford ; while the major urban cathedrals of London and York always remained secular. Furthermore, when the bishops ' seats were transferred back from Coventry to Lichfield, and from Bath to Wells, these sees reverted to being secular. Bishops of monastic cathedrals, tended to find themselves embroiled in long - running legal disputes with their respective monastic bodies ; and increasingly tended to reside elsewhere. The bishops of Ely and Winchester lived in London as did the Archbishop of Canterbury. The bishops of Worcester generally lived in York, while the bishops of Carlisle lived at Melbourne in Derbyshire. Monastic governance of cathedrals continued in England, Scotland and Wales throughout the medieval period ; whereas elsewhere in western Europe it was found only at Monreale in Sicily and Downpatrick in Ireland. The shrine of St Swithun in Winchester Cathedral ( in the background is Fedorev 's iconostasis in the retroquire ) An important aspect in the practice of medieval Christianity was the veneration of saints, and the associated pilgrimages to places where the relics of a particular saint were interred and the saint 's tradition honoured. The possession of the relics of a popular saint was a source of funds to the individual church as the faithful made donations and benefactions in the hope that they might receive spiritual aid, a blessing or a healing from the presence of the physical remains of the holy person. Among those churches to benefit in particular were : St. Alban 's Abbey, which contained the relics of England 's first Christian martyr ; Ripon, with the shrine of its founder St. Wilfrid ; Durham, which was built to house the body of Saints Cuthbert of Lindisfarne and Aidan ; Ely, with the shrine of St. Etheldreda ; Westminster Abbey, with the magnificent shrine of its founder St. Edward the Confessor ; and Chichester, which held the honoured remains of St. Richard. All these saints brought pilgrims to their churches, but among them the most renowned was Thomas Becket, the late Archbishop of Canterbury, who was assassinated by henchmen of King Henry II in 1170. As a place of pilgrimage Canterbury was, in the 13th century, second only to Santiago de Compostela. Separation from papal authority ( edit ) The beginning of the Gospel of John in a manuscript of Wycliffe 's English translation ( MS. Hunter 191 ) ( first line : ' In þe bigynnyng was / þe word & þe word / was at god / & god was / þe word. ' ) John Wycliffe ( about 1320 -- 31 December 1384 ) was an English theologian and an early dissident against the Roman Catholic Church during the 14th century. He founded the Lollard movement, which opposed a number of practices of the Church. He was also against papal encroachments on secular power. Wycliffe was associated with statements indicating that the Church in Rome is not the head of all churches, nor did St Peter have any more powers given to him than other disciples. These statements were related to his call for a reformation of its wealth, corruption and abuses. Wycliffe, an Oxford scholar, went so far as to state that ``... The Gospel by itself is a rule sufficient to rule the life of every Christian person on the earth, without any other rule. '' The Lollard movement continued with his pronouncements from pulpits even under the persecution that followed with Henry IV up to and including the early years of the reign of Henry VIII. The first break with Rome ( subsequently reversed ) came when Pope Clement VII refused, over a period of years, to annul Henry 's marriage to Catherine of Aragon, not purely as a matter of principle, but also because the Pope lived in fear of Catherine 's nephew, Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, as a result of events in the Italian Wars. Henry first asked for an annulment in 1527. After various failed initiatives he stepped up the pressure on Rome, in the summer of 1529, by compiling a manuscript from ancient sources arguing that, in law, spiritual supremacy rested with the monarch and also against the legality of Papal authority. In 1531 Henry first challenged the Pope when he demanded 100,000 pounds from the clergy in exchange for a royal pardon for what he called their illegal jurisdiction. He also demanded that the clergy should recognise him as their sole protector and supreme head. The church in England recognised Henry VIII as supreme head of the Church of England on 11 February 1531. Nonetheless, he continued to seek a compromise with the Pope, but negotiations ( which had started in 1530 and ended in 1532 ) with the papal legate Antonio Giovanni da Burgio failed. Efforts by Henry to appeal to Jewish scholarship concerning the contours of levirate marriage were unavailing as well. In May 1532 the Church of England agreed to surrender its legislative independence and canon law to the authority of the monarch. In 1533 the Statute in Restraint of Appeals removed the right of the English clergy and laity to appeal to Rome on matters of matrimony, tithes and oblations. It also gave authority over such matters to the Archbishops of Canterbury and York. This finally allowed Thomas Cranmer, the new Archbishop of Canterbury, to issue Henry 's annulment ; and upon procuring it, Henry married Anne Boleyn. Pope Clement VII excommunicated Henry VIII in 1533. In 1534 the Act of Submission of the Clergy removed the right of all appeals to Rome, effectively ending the Pope 's influence. The first Act of Supremacy confirmed Henry by statute as the Supreme Head of the Church of England in 1536. ( Due to clergy objections the contentious term `` Supreme Head '' for the monarch later became `` Supreme Governor of the Church of England '' -- which is the title held by the reigning monarch to the present. ) Such constitutional changes made it not only possible for Henry to have his marriage annulled but also gave him access to the considerable wealth that the Church had amassed. Thomas Cromwell, as Vicar General, launched a commission of enquiry into the nature and value of all ecclesiastical property in 1535, which culminated in the Dissolution of the Monasteries ( 1536 -- 1540 ). Reformation ( edit ) Main article : English Reformation King Henry VIII was excommunicated by the pope ( portrait of King Henry by Hans Holbein the Younger, 1540s? ) Many Roman Catholics consider the separation of the Church in England from Rome in 1534 to be the true origin of the Church of England, rather than dating it from the mission of St. Augustine in AD 597. While Anglicans acknowledge that Henry VIII 's repudiation of papal authority caused the Church of England to become a separate entity, they believe that it is in continuity with the pre-Reformation Church of England. Apart from its distinct customs and liturgies ( such as the Sarum rite ), the organizational machinery of the Church of England was in place by the time of the Synod of Hertford in 672 -- 673, when the English bishops were first able to act as one body under the leadership of the Archbishop of Canterbury. Henry 's Act in Restraint of Appeals ( 1533 ) and the Acts of Supremacy ( 1534 ) declared that the English crown was `` the only Supreme Head in earth of the Church of England, called Ecclesia Anglicana, '' in order `` to repress and extirpate all errors, heresies, and other enormities and abuses heretofore used in the same. '' The development of the Thirty - Nine Articles of religion and the passage of the Acts of Uniformity culminated in the Elizabethan Religious Settlement. By the end of the 17th century, the English church described itself as both Catholic and Reformed, with the English monarch as its Supreme Governor. MacCulloch commenting on this situation says that it `` has never subsequently dared to define its identity decisively as Protestant or Catholic, and has decided in the end that this is a virtue rather than a handicap. '' King Henry VIII of England ( edit ) The English Reformation was initially driven by the dynastic goals of Henry VIII, who, in his quest for a consort who would bear him a male heir, found it expedient to replace papal authority with the supremacy of the English crown. The early legislation focused primarily on questions of temporal and spiritual supremacy. The Institution of the Christian Man ( also called The Bishops ' Book ) of 1537 was written by a committee of 46 divines and bishops headed by Thomas Cranmer. The purpose of the work, along with the Ten Articles of the previous year, was to implement the reforms of Henry VIII in separating from the Roman Catholic Church and reforming the Ecclesia Anglicana. `` The work was a noble endeavor on the part of the bishops to promote unity, and to instruct the people in Church doctrine. '' The introduction of the Great Bible in 1538 brought a vernacular translation of the Scriptures into churches. The Dissolution of the Monasteries and the seizure of their assets by 1540 brought huge amounts of church land and property under the jurisdiction of the Crown, and ultimately into the hands of the English nobility. This simultaneously removed the greatest centres of loyalty to the pope and created vested interests which made a powerful material incentive to support a separate Christian church in England under the rule of the Crown. Cranmer, Parker and Hooker ( edit ) By 1549, the process of reforming the ancient national church was fully spurred on by the publication of the first vernacular prayer book, the Book of Common Prayer, and the enforcement of the Acts of Uniformity, establishing English as the language of public worship. The theological justification for Anglican distinctiveness was begun by the Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury, the principal author of the first prayer book, and continued by others such as Matthew Parker, Richard Hooker and Lancelot Andrewes. Cranmer had worked as a diplomat in Europe and was aware of the ideas of Reformers such as Andreas Osiander and Friedrich Myconius as well as the Roman Catholic theologian Desiderius Erasmus. Thomas Cranmer ( 1489 -- 1556 ), Archbishop of Canterbury and principal author of the first two Books of Common Prayer During the short reign of Edward VI, Henry 's son, Cranmer and others moved the Church of England significantly towards a more reformed position, which was reflected in the development of the second prayer book ( 1552 ) and in the Forty - Two Articles. This reform was reversed abruptly in the reign of Queen Mary, a Roman Catholic who re-established communion with Rome following her accession in 1553. In the 16th century, religious life was an important part of the cement which held society together and formed an important basis for extending and consolidating political power. Differences in religion were likely to lead to civil unrest at the very least, with treason and foreign invasion acting as real threats. When Queen Elizabeth came to the throne in 1558, a solution was thought to have been found. To minimise bloodshed over religion in her dominions, the religious settlement between the factions of Rome and Geneva was brought about. It was compellingly articulated in the development of the 1559 Book of Common Prayer, the Thirty - Nine Articles, the Ordinal, and the two Books of Homilies. These works, issued under Archbishop Matthew Parker, were to become the basis of all subsequent Anglican doctrine and identity. The new version of the prayer book was substantially the same as Cranmer 's earlier versions. It would become a source of great argument during the 17th century, but later revisions were not of great theological importance. The Thirty - Nine Articles were based on the earlier work of Cranmer, being modelled after the Forty - Two Articles. The bulk of the population acceded to Elizabeth 's religious settlement with varying degrees of enthusiasm or resignation. It was imposed by law, and secured Parliamentary approval only by a narrow vote in which all the Roman Catholic bishops who were not imprisoned voted against. As well as those who continued to recognise papal supremacy, the more militant Protestants, or Puritans as they became known, opposed it. Both groups were punished and disenfranchised in various ways and cracks in the facade of religious unity in England appeared.

Pope Leo X had earlier awarded to Henry himself the title of fidei defensor ( defender of the faith ), partly on account of Henry 's attack on Lutheranism. Some Protestant - influenced changes under Henry included a limited iconoclasm, the abolition of pilgrimages, and pilgrimage shrines, chantries, and the extinction of many saints ' days. However, only minor changes in liturgy occurred during Henry 's reign, and he carried through the Six Articles of 1539 which reaffirmed the Catholic nature of the church. All this took place, however, at a time of major religious upheaval in Western Europe associated with the Reformation ; once the schism had occurred, some reform probably became inevitable. Only under Henry 's son Edward VI ( reigned 1547 -- 1553 ) did the first major changes in parish activity take place, including translation and thorough revision of the liturgy along more Protestant lines. The resulting Book of Common Prayer, issued in 1549 and revised in 1552, came into use by the authority of the Parliament of England. Reunion with Rome ( edit ) Following the death of Edward, his half - sister the Roman Catholic Mary I ( reigned 1553 -- 1558 ) came to the throne. She renounced the Henrician and Edwardian changes, first by repealing her brother 's reforms then by re-establishing unity with Rome. The Marian Persecutions of Protestants and dissenters took place at this time. The queen 's image after the persecutions turned into that of an almost legendary tyrant called Bloody Mary. This view of Bloody Mary was mainly due to the widespread publication of Foxe 's Book of Martyrs during her successor Elizabeth I 's reign. Nigel Heard summarises the persecution thus : `` It is now estimated that the 274 religious executions carried out during the last three years of Mary 's reign exceeded the number recorded in any Catholic country on the continent in the same period. '' Second schism ( edit ) The second schism, from which the present Church of England originates, came later. Upon Mary 's death in 1558, her half - sister Elizabeth I ( reigned 1558 -- 1603 ) came to power. Elizabeth became a determined opponent of papal control and re-introduced separatist ideas. In 1559, Parliament recognised Elizabeth as the Church 's supreme governor, with a new Act of Supremacy that also repealed the remaining anti-Protestant legislation. A new Book of Common Prayer appeared in the same year. Elizabeth presided over the `` Elizabethan Settlement '', an attempt to satisfy the Puritan and Catholic forces in England within a single national Church. Elizabeth was eventually excommunicated on 25 February 1570 by Pope Pius V, finally breaking communion between Rome and the Anglican Church. King James Bible ( edit ) Main article : Authorised King James Version Shortly after coming to the throne, James I attempted to bring unity to the Church of England by instituting a commission consisting of scholars from all views within the Church to produce a unified and new translation of the Bible free of Calvinist and Popish influence. The project was begun in 1604 and completed in 1611 becoming de facto the Authorised Version in the Church of England and later other Anglican churches throughout the communion until the mid-20th century. The New Testament was translated from the Textus Receptus ( Received Text ) edition of the Greek texts, so called because most extant texts of the time were in agreement with it. The Old Testament was translated from the Masoretic Hebrew text, while the Apocrypha was translated from the Greek Septuagint ( LXX ). The work was done by 47 scholars working in six committees, two based in each of the University of Oxford, the University of Cambridge, and Westminster. They worked on certain parts separately ; then the drafts produced by each committee were compared and revised for harmony with each other. This translation had a profound effect on English literature. The works of famous authors such as John Milton, Herman Melville, John Dryden and William Wordsworth are deeply inspired by it. The Authorised Version is often referred to as the King James Version, particularly in the United States. King James was not personally involved in the translation, though his authorisation was legally necessary for the translation to begin, and he set out guidelines for the translation process, such as prohibiting footnotes and ensuring that Anglican positions were recognised on various points. A dedication to James by the translators still appears at the beginning of modern editions. English civil War ( edit ) Cromwell and the corpse of Charles I For the next century, through the reigns of James I and Charles I, and culminating in the English Civil War and the protectorate of Oliver Cromwell, there were significant swings back and forth between two factions : the Puritans ( and other radicals ) who sought more far - reaching reform, and the more conservative churchmen who aimed to keep closer to traditional beliefs and practices. The failure of political and ecclesiastical authorities to submit to Puritan demands for more extensive reform was one of the causes of open warfare. By continental standards the level of violence over religion was not high, but the casualties included a king, Charles I and an Archbishop of Canterbury, William Laud. For about a decade ( 1647 -- 1660 ), Christmas was another casualty as Parliament abolished all feasts and festivals of the Church to rid England of outward signs of Popishness. Under the Protectorate of the Commonwealth of England from 1649 to 1660, Anglicanism was disestablished, presbyterian ecclesiology was introduced as an adjunct to the Episcopal system, the Articles were replaced with a non-Presbyterian version of the Westminster Confession ( 1647 ), and the Book of Common Prayer was replaced by the Directory of Public Worship. Despite this, about one quarter of English clergy refused to conform. In the midst of the apparent triumph of Calvinism, the 17th century brought forth a Golden Age of Anglicanism. The Caroline Divines, such as Andrewes, Laud, Herbert Thorndike, Jeremy Taylor, John Cosin, Thomas Ken and others rejected Roman claims and refused to adopt the ways and beliefs of the Continental Protestants. The historic episcopate was preserved. Truth was to be found in Scripture and the bishops and archbishops, which were to be bound to the traditions of the first four centuries of the Church 's history. The role of reason in theology was affirmed. Restoration and beyond ( edit ) Main article : English Restoration With the Restoration of Charles II, Anglicanism too was restored in a form not far removed from the Elizabethan version. One difference was that the ideal of encompassing all the people of England in one religious organisation, taken for granted by the Tudors, had to be abandoned. The 1662 revision of the Book of Common Prayer became the unifying text of the ruptured and repaired Church after the disaster that was the civil war. When the new king Charles II reached the throne in 1660, he actively appointed his supporters who had resisted Cromwell to vacancies. He translated the leading supporters to the most prestigious and rewarding sees. He also considered the need to reestablish episcopal authority and to reincorporate `` moderate dissenters '' in order to effect Protestant reconciliation. In some cases turnover was heavy -- he made four appointments to the diocese of Worcester in four years 1660 - 63, moving the first three up to better positions. Glorious Revolution and Act of Toleration ( edit ) James II was overthrown by William of Orange in 1688, and the new king moved quickly to ease religious tensions. Many of his supporters had been Nonconformist non-Anglicans. With the Act of Toleration enacted on 24 May 1689, Nonconformists had freedom of worship. That is, those Protestants who dissented from the Church of England such as Baptists, Congregationalists and Quakers were allowed their own places of worship and their own teachers and preachers, subject to acceptance of certain oaths of allegiance. These privileges expressly did not apply to Catholics and Unitarians, and it continued the existing social and political disabilities for dissenters, including exclusion from political office. The religious settlement of 1689 shaped policy down to the 1830s. The Church of England was not only dominant in religious affairs, but it blocked outsiders from responsible positions in national and local government, business, professions and academe. In practice, the doctrine of the divine right of kings persisted Old animosities had diminished, and a new spirit of toleration was abroad. Restrictions on Nonconformists were mostly either ignored or slowly lifted. The Protestants, including the Quakers, who worked to overthrow King James II were rewarded. The Toleration Act of 1689 allowed nonconformists who have their own chapels, teachers, and preachers, censorship was relaxed. The religious landscape of England assumed its present form, with an Anglican established church occupying the middle ground, and Roman Catholics and those Puritans who dissented from the establishment, too strong to be suppressed altogether, having to continue their existence outside the national church rather than controlling it. 18th century ( edit ) This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. ( September 2010 ) Spread of Anglicanism outside England ( edit ) See also : History of the Anglican Communion An Anglican chapel at Sheffield Cathedral The history of Anglicanism since the 17th century has been one of greater geographical and cultural expansion and diversity, accompanied by a concomitant diversity of liturgical and theological profession and practice. At the same time as the English reformation, the Church of Ireland was separated from Rome and adopted articles of faith similar to England 's Thirty - Nine Articles. However, unlike England, the Anglican church there was never able to capture the loyalty of the majority of the population ( who still adhered to Roman Catholicism ). As early as 1582, the Scottish Episcopal Church was inaugurated when James VI of Scotland sought to reintroduce bishops when the Church of Scotland became fully presbyterian ( see Scottish reformation ). The Scottish Episcopal Church enabled the creation of the Episcopal Church in the United States of America after the American Revolution, by consecrating in Aberdeen the first American bishop, Samuel Seabury, who had been refused consecration by bishops in England, due to his inability to take the oath of allegiance to the English crown prescribed in the Order for the Consecration of Bishops. The polity and ecclesiology of the Scottish and American churches, as well as their daughter churches, thus tends to be distinct from those spawned by the English church -- reflected, for example, in their looser conception of provincial government, and their leadership by a presiding bishop or primus rather than by a metropolitan or archbishop. The names of the Scottish and American churches inspire the customary term Episcopalian for an Anglican ; the term being used in these and other parts of the world. See also : American Episcopalians, Scottish Episcopalians At the time of the English Reformation the four ( now six ) Welsh dioceses were all part of the Province of Canterbury and remained so until 1920 when the Church in Wales was created as a province of the Anglican Communion. The intense interest in the Christian faith which characterised the Welsh in the 18th and 19th centuries was not present in the sixteenth and most Welsh people went along with the church 's reformation more because the English government was strong enough to impose its wishes in Wales rather than out of any real conviction. Consecrated in 1612, Saint Peter 's Church, in St George 's, Bermuda, is the oldest Church of England ( now Anglican ) church outside the British Isles, and the oldest Protestant church in the New World. Anglicanism spread outside of the British Isles by means of emigration as well as missionary effort. The 1609 wreck of the flagship of the Virginia Company, the Sea Venture, resulted in the settlement of Bermuda by that Company. This was made official in 1612, when the town of St George 's, now the oldest surviving English settlement in the New World, was established. It is the location of St Peter 's Church, the oldest - surviving Anglican church outside the British Isles ( Britain and Ireland ), and the oldest surviving non-Roman Catholic church in the New World, also established in 1612. It remained part of the Church of England until 1978, when the Anglican Church of Bermuda separated. The Church of England was the state religion in Bermuda and a system of parishes was set up for the religious and political subdivision of the colony ( they survive, today, as both civil and religious parishes ). Bermuda, like Virginia, tended to the Royalist side during the Civil War. The conflict in Bermuda resulted in the expulsion of Independent Puritans from the island ( the Eleutheran Adventurers, who settled Eleuthera, in the Bahamas ). The church in Bermuda, before the Civil War, had a somewhat Presbyterian flavour, but mainstream Anglicanism was asserted afterwards ( although Bermuda is also home to the oldest Presbyterian church outside the British Isles ). Bermudians were required by law in the 17th century to attend Church of England services, and proscriptions similar to those in England existed on other denominations. English missionary organisations such as USPG -- then known as the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, the Society for the Promotion of Christian Knowledge ( SPCK ) and the Church Missionary Society ( CMS ) were established in the 17th and 18th centuries to bring Anglican Christianity to the British colonies. By the 19th century, such missions were extended to other areas of the world. The liturgical and theological orientations of these missionary organisations were diverse. The SPG, for example, was in the 19th century influenced by the Catholic Revival in the Church of England, while the CMS was influenced by the Evangelicalism of the earlier Evangelical Revival. As a result, the piety, liturgy, and polity of the indigenous churches they established came to reflect these diverse orientations. 19th century and after ( edit ) 1801 -- 1914 ( edit ) Church at Blaston, Leicestershire, rebuilt in a simple Gothic style in 1878 Crucifix on the rood screen at Blisland, Cornwall The Plymouth Brethren seceded from the established church in the 1820s. The church in this period was affected by the Evangelical revival and the growth of industrial towns in the Industrial Revolution. There was an expansion of the various Nonconformist churches, notably Methodism. From the 1830s the Oxford Movement became influential and occasioned the revival of Anglo - Catholicism. From 1801 the Church of England and the Church of Ireland were unified and this situation lasted until the disestablishment of the Irish church in 1871 ( by the Irish Church Act, 1869 ). The growth of the twin `` revivals '' in 19th century Anglicanism - -- Evangelical and Catholic - -- was hugely influential. The Evangelical Revival informed important social movements such as the abolition of slavery, child welfare legislation, prohibition of alcohol, the development of public health and public education. It led to the creation of the Church Army, an evangelical and social welfare association and informed piety and liturgy, most notably in the development of Methodism. The Catholic Revival had a more penetrating impact by transforming the liturgy of the Anglican Church, repositioning the Eucharist as the central act of worship in place of the daily offices, and reintroducing the use of vestments, ceremonial, and acts of piety ( such as Eucharistic adoration ) that had long been prohibited in the English church and ( to a certain extent ) in its daughter churches. It influenced Anglican theology, through such Oxford Movement figures as John Henry Newman, Edward Pusey, as well as the Christian socialism of Charles Gore and Frederick Maurice. Much work was done to introduce a more medieval style of church furnishing in many churches. Neo-Gothic in many different forms became the norm rather than the earlier Neo-Classical forms. Both revivals led to considerable missionary efforts in parts of the British Empire. Prime ministers and the Queen ( edit ) Patronage continued to play a central role in Church affairs. Not since Newcastle, over a century before, did a prime minister pay as much attention to church vacancies as William Ewart Gladstone. He annoyed Queen Victoria by making appointments she did not like. He worked to match the skills of candidates to the needs of specific church offices. He supported his party by favouring Liberals who would support his political positions. His counterpart, Disraeli, favoured Conservative bishops to a small extent, but took care to distribute bishoprics so as to balance various church factions. He occasionally sacrificed party advantage to choose a more qualified candidate. On most issues Disraeli and Queen Victoria were close, but they frequently clashed over church nominations because of her aversion to high churchmen. 1914 -- 1970 ( edit ) This section needs expansion.

A chaplain provides spiritual and pastoral support for service personnel, including the conduct of religious services at sea or in the field. The Army Chaplains Department was granted the prefix `` Royal '' in recognition of the chaplains ' wartime service. The Chaplain General of the British Army was Bishop John Taylor Smith who held the post from 1901 to 1925. An attempt to revise the Book of Common Prayer in 1928 was nullified by opposition in the House of Commons. During the Second World War the head of chaplaincy in the British Army was an ( Anglican ) chaplain - general, the Very Revd Charles Symons ( with the military rank of major - general ), who was formally under the control of the Permanent Under - Secretary of State. An assistant chaplain - general was a chaplain 1st class ( full colonel ), and a senior chaplain was a chaplain 2nd class ( lieutenant colonel ). A movement towards unification with the Methodist Church in the 1960s failed to pass through all the required stages on the Anglican side, being rejected by the General Synod in 1972. This was initiated by the Methodists and welcomed on the part of the Anglicans but full agreement on all points could not be reached. 1970 -- present ( edit ) This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. ( October 2010 ) The Church Assembly was replaced by the General Synod in 1970. On 12 March 1994 the Church of England ordained its first female priests. On 11 July 2005 a vote was passed by the Church of England 's General Synod in York to allow women 's ordination as bishops. Both of these events were subject to opposition from some within the church who found difficulties in accepting them. Adjustments had to be made in the diocesan structure to accommodate those parishes unwilling to accept the ministry of women priests. ( See women 's ordination ) The first black archbishop of the Church of England, John Sentamu, formerly of Uganda, was enthroned on 30 November 2005 as Archbishop of York. In 2006 the Church of England at its General Synod made a public apology for the institutional role it played as a historic owner of slave plantations in Barbados and Barbuda. The Reverend Simon Bessant recounted the history of the church on the island of Barbados, West Indies, where through a charitable bequest received in 1710 by the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, thousands of sugar plantation slaves had been appallingly treated and branded using red - hot irons as the property of the `` society ''. In 2010, for the first time in the history of the Church of England, more women than men were ordained as priests ( 290 women and 273 men ).

{ "text": "Smokey Bear - wikipedia Smokey Bear Jump to : navigation, search Smokey Bear Smokey Bear in a poster based on the `` Uncle Sam / Lord Kitchener '' poster First appearance 1944 Created by Advertising Council Smokey Bear is an American advertising mascot created by the Ad Council with artist Albert Staehle, possibly in collaboration with writer and art critic Harold Rosenberg. It is administered by the Ad Council, the United States Forest Service, and the National Association of State Foresters to educate the public about the dangers of wildfires. A campaign featuring Smokey and the slogan `` Smokey Says -- Care Will Prevent 9 out of 10 Forest Fires '' began in 1944. His later slogan, `` Remember... Only YOU Can Prevent Forest Fires '' was created in 1947. In April 2001, the message was updated to `` Only You Can Prevent Wildfires. '' According to the Ad Council, he and his message are recognized in the United States by 95 % of adults and 77 % of children. In 1952, the songwriters Steve Nelson and Jack Rollins had a successful song named `` Smokey the Bear ''. The pair said `` the '' was added to Smokey 's name to keep the song 's rhythm. During the 1950s, that variant of the name became widespread both in popular speech and in print, including at least one standard encyclopedia. A 1955 book in the Little Golden Books series was called Smokey the Bear and he calls himself by this name in the book. It depicted him as an orphaned cub rescued in the aftermath of a forest fire in the Sandia Mountains near Albuquerque, New Mexico. From the beginning, his name was intentionally spelled differently from the adjective `` smoky ''. Smokey Bear 's name and image are protected by U.S. federal law, the Smokey Bear Act of 1952 ( 16 U.S.C. 580 ( p - 2 ) ; 18 U.S.C. 711 ).

Art by Albert Staehle Although the U.S. Forest Service fought wildfires long before World War II, the war brought a new importance and urgency to the effort. The forest service began using colorful posters to educate Americans about the dangers of forest fires. Since most able - bodied men were already serving in the armed forces, none could be spared to fight forest fires on the West Coast. The hope was that local communities, educated about the danger of forest fires, could prevent them from starting in the first place. On August 13, 1942, Disney 's fifth full - length animated motion picture Bambi premiered in New York City. Soon after, Walt Disney allowed his characters to appear in fire prevention public service campaigns. However, Bambi was only loaned to the government for a year, so a new symbol was needed. A bear was chosen. His name was inspired by `` Smokey '' Joe Martin, a New York City Fire Department hero who suffered burns and blindness during a bold 1922 rescue. Smokey 's debut poster was released on August 9, 1944, which is considered the character 's birthday. Overseen by the Cooperative Forest Fire Prevention Campaign, the first poster was illustrated by Albert Staehle. In it Smokey was depicted wearing jeans and a campaign hat, pouring a bucket of water on a campfire. The message underneath reads, `` Smokey says -- Care will prevent 9 out of 10 forest fires! '' Knickerbocker Bears gained the license to produce Smokey Bear dolls in 1944. Also in 1944, Forest Service worker Rudy Wendelin became the full - time campaign artist ; he was considered Smokey Bear 's `` manager '' until Wendelin retired in 1973. In addition, during World War II, the Empire of Japan considered wildfires as a possible weapon. During the Lookout Air Raids of September 1942, the Japanese military attempted without success to set ablaze coastal forests in southwest Oregon. U.S. planners also hoped that if Americans knew how wildfires would harm the war effort, they would better cooperate with the Forest Service to eliminate any kind of fire. The Japanese military renewed their wildfire strategy late in the war : from November 1944 to April 1945, launching some 9,000 fire balloons into the jet stream, with an estimated 10 % reaching the U.S. In the end the balloon bombs caused a total of six fatalities : five school children and their teacher, Elsie Mitchell, who were killed by one of the bombs near Bly, Oregon, on May 5, 1945. A memorial was erected at what today is called the Mitchell Recreation Area. In 1947, the slogan associated with Smokey Bear for more than five decades was finally coined : `` Remember... only YOU can prevent forest fires. '' In 2001, it was officially amended to replace `` forest fires '' with `` wildfires '', as a reminder that other areas ( such as grasslands ) are also in danger of burning. Living symbol ( edit ) Tahoe National Forest Fire Engine 731 and Crew at Smokey Bear Vista Point in June 1990 ( Temporarily assigned to Lincoln National Forest ). Capitan Gap is the pass located in the distance between the Engine and the sign. The living symbol of Smokey Bear was an American black bear three - month - old cub who in the spring of 1950 was caught in the Capitan Gap fire, a wildfire that burned 17,000 acres ( 69 km ) in the Lincoln National Forest, in the Capitan Mountains of New Mexico. Smokey had climbed a tree to escape the blaze, but his paws and hind legs had been burned. According to some stories, he was rescued by a game warden after the fire, but according to the New Mexico State Forestry Division, it was actually a group of soldiers from Fort Bliss, Texas, who had come to help fight the fire, that discovered the bear cub and brought him back to the camp. The original Smokey Bear, playing in his pool at the National Zoo, sometime during the 1950s. At first he was called Hotfoot Teddy, but he was later renamed Smokey, after the mascot. There are conflicting stories regarding the individual or individuals who first helped nurse the cub after the fire. According to the New York Times obituary for Homer C. Pickens, then Assistant Director of the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish, he kept the cub at his home for a while, trying to nurse him back to health. According to other records, including a story in Life magazine, New Mexico Department of Game and Fish Ranger Ray Bell took him to Santa Fe, where he, his wife Ruth, and their children Don and Judy cared for the cub. The story was picked up by the national news services and Smokey became a celebrity. Soon after, Smokey was flown in a Piper Cub airplane to the National Zoo in Washington, D.C. A special room was prepared for him at the St. Louis zoo for an overnight fuel stop during the trip, and when he arrived at the National Zoo, several hundred spectators, including members of the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, photographers, and media, were there to welcome him. Smokey Bear eating from the new `` honey tree '' -- a tree that automatically dispenses honey and berries -- installed in Smokey 's cage in the Summer of 1984. Smokey Bear lived at the National Zoo for 26 years. During that time he received millions of visitors as well as so many letters addressed to him ( up to 13,000 a week ) that in 1964 the United States Postal Service gave him his own ZIP code ( 20252 ). He developed a love for peanut butter sandwiches, in addition to his daily diet of bluefish and trout. Upon his death on November 9, 1976, Smokey 's remains were returned by the government to Capitan, New Mexico, and buried at what is now the Smokey Bear Historical Park. He was buried in a metal box starting around 10 pm. A group of hunters from Houston, who happened to be at the nearby Smokey Bear Cafe, helped with the burial. Two of the hunters reported that the possible reasons for the late night burial were that a freeze was expected the next morning so the grave needed to be covered before then, or that the rangers wanted as little publicity as possible. The plaque at his grave reads, `` This is the resting place of the first living Smokey Bear... the living symbol of wildfire prevention and wildlife conservation. '' The Washington Post ran a semi-humorous obituary for Smokey, labeled `` Bear '', calling him a transplanted New Mexico native who had resided for many years in Washington, D.C., with many years of government service. It also mentioned his family, including his wife, Goldie Bear, and `` adopted son '' Little Smokey. The obituary noted that Smokey and Goldie were not blood - relatives, despite the fact that they shared the same `` last name '' of `` Bear ''. The Wall Street Journal included an obituary for Smokey Bear on the front page of the paper, on November 11, 1976, and so many newspapers included articles and obituaries that the National Zoo archives include four complete scrapbooks devoted to them ( Series 12, boxes 66 - 67 ). Smokey Bear II ( edit ) In 1962, Smokey was paired with a female bear, `` Goldie Bear '', with the hope that perhaps Smokey 's descendants would take over the Smokey Bear title. In 1971, when the pair still had not produced any young, the zoo added `` Little Smokey '', another orphaned bear cub from the Lincoln Forest, to their cage -- announcing that the pair had `` adopted '' this cub. On May 2, 1975, Smokey Bear officially `` retired '' from his role as living mascot, and the title, `` Smokey Bear II '', was bestowed upon Little Smokey in an official ceremony. He died August 11, 1990. Upon his death Smokey 's remains were transported to a U.S. Forest Service facility in Capitan, where he was buried. The facility is now a forest fire / Smokey interpretive center. In the garden adjacent to the interpretive center is the bear 's grave. Thousands every year stop by to pay homage. Popularity ( edit ) `` Only YOU can prevent forest fires! '' The character became a notable part of American popular culture in the 1950s. He appeared on radio programs, in comic strips, and in cartoons. In 1952, after Smokey Bear attracted considerable commercial interest, the Smokey Bear Act, an act of Congress, was passed to remove the character from the public domain and place it under the control of the Secretary of Agriculture. The act provided for the use of Smokey 's royalties for continued education on the subject of forest fire prevention. More than three million dollars have been collected. A Smokey Bear doll was produced by Ideal Toys beginning in 1952 ; the doll included a mail - in card for children to become Junior forest rangers. Within three years half a million children had applied. In April 1964, the character was given his own ZIP code ( postal code ) : 20252. In 1955, the first children 's book was published, followed by many sequels and coloring books. Soon thousands of dolls, toys, and other collectibles were on the market. During the 1950s and 1960s, the Ad Council sponsored radio advertisements, featuring Smokey Bear `` in conversation '' with prominent American celebrity stars such as Bing Crosby, Art Linkletter, Dinah Shore, and Roy Rogers. In 1959, on an episode of Rocky and Friends, there was a Dudley Do - Right episode entitled `` Stokey The Bear '' which was a parody of Smokey. As a result, this episode was eliminated from further distribution. However, it was revived on DVD in 2005 for `` The Complete Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends ''. Smokey 's name and image has been loaned to the Smokey Bear Awards, which are awarded by the United States Forest Service to `` recognize outstanding service in the prevention of wildland fires and to increase public recognition and awareness of the need for continuing fire prevention efforts. '' The Beach Boys bring a reminder of Smokey the Bear on their 1964 album `` All Summer Long '' in the song `` Drive - In '' in the lines `` If you say you watch the movie you 're a couple of liars And ' Remember only you can prevent forest fires ' ''. Though Smokey was originally drawn wearing the campaign hat of the U.S. National Park Service ( which was in turn derived from the cavalry who protected the early U.S. national parks ), the hat itself later became famous by association with the Smokey cartoon character. As such, it is sometimes today called a `` Smokey Bear '' hat by both the military service branches and state police who still employ it. For that reason, truck drivers often refer to state police officers as `` Smokey '' or `` bears ''. Legacy ( edit ) Smokey Bear with members of the Boy Scouts of America and the Camp Fire Girls in 1960 For Smokey 's 40th anniversary in 1984, he was honored with a U.S. postage stamp that pictured a cub hanging onto a burned tree. It was illustrated by Rudy Wendelin. The commercial for his 50th anniversary portrayed woodland animals about to have a surprise birthday party for Smokey, with a cake with candles. When Smokey comes blindfolded, he smells smoke, not realizing it is birthday candles for his birthday. He uses his shovel to destroy the cake. When he takes off his blindfold, he sees that it was a birthday cake for him and apologizes. In 2004, Smokey 's 60th anniversary was celebrated in several ways, including a Senate resolution designating August 9, 2004, as `` Smokey Bear 60th Anniversary '', calling upon the President to issue a proclamation `` calling upon the people of the United States to observe the day with appropriate ceremonies and activities. '' According to Richard Earle, author of The Art of Cause Marketing, the Smokey Bear campaign is among the most powerful and enduring of all public service advertising : `` Smokey is simple, strong, straightforward. He 's a denizen of those woods you 're visiting, and he cares about preserving them. Anyone who grew up watching Bambi realizes how terrifying a forest fire can be. But Smokey would n't run away. Smokey 's strong. He 'll stay and fight the fire if necessary, but he 'd rather have you douse it and cover it up so he does n't have to. '' On the anniversary of finding Smokey Bear in the Capitan Gap fire, May 9, 2000, Marianne Gould from the Smokey Bear Ranger District, Eddie Tudor from the Smokey Bear Museum and Neal Jones from the local Ruidoso, New Mexico radio station created `` Smokey Bear Days ''. The event celebrates the fire prevention message from the Smokey Bear campaign as well as wilderness environment conservation with music concerts, chainsaw carving contests, a firefighter 's `` muster '' competition, food, vendors and a parade. The `` Smokey Bear Days '' celebration is held in Smokey 's hometown of Capitan, New Mexico the first weekend of May every year. In 2008 through 2011, new commercials featuring Smokey rendered in CGI were released. Voices ( edit ) This section does not cite any sources.

Others who have provided a voice to Smokey include Jim Cummings, Roger C. Carmel, Jack Angel, Los Angeles radio station KNX 's George Walsh, and Gene Moss. In June 2008, the Forest Service launched a new series of public service announcements voiced by actor Sam Elliott, simultaneously giving Smokey a new visual design intended to appeal to young adults. Patrick Warburton provides the voice of an anonymous park ranger. Adaptations ( edit ) Smokey Bear at the 2005 National Scout Jamboree Smokey with Thomas Tidwell, Chief of the United States Forest Service, and Arnold Schwarzenegger Smokey Bear -- and parodies of the character -- have been appearing in animation for more than fifty years. In 1956, he made a cameo appearance in the Walt Disney short film In the Bag with a voice provided by Jackson Weaver. Rankin / Bass Productions, in cooperation with Tadahito Mochinaga 's MOM Production in Japan, produced an `` Animagic '' stop motion animated television special, The Ballad of Smokey the Bear, narrated by James Cagney. It aired on November 24, 1966 as part of the General Electric Fantasy Hour on NBC. During the 1969 -- 1970 television season, Rankin / Bass also produced a weekly Saturday Morning cartoon series for ABC, The Smokey Bear Show. This series is animated by Toei Animation in Japan. Steve Nelson and Jack Rollins 's song `` Smokey the Bear '' has been covered by the group Canned Heat, among others. The track is on their CD The Boogie House Tapes 1969 - 1999. `` Smokey the Bear Sutra '' is a 1969 poem by Gary Snyder, which presents environmental concerns in the form of a Buddhist sutra, and depicts Smokey as the reincarnation of the Great Sun Buddha. Fire ecology ( edit ) Main article : Fire ecology The Smokey Bear campaign has been criticized by wildfire policy experts in cases where decades of fire suppression and the indigenous fire ecology were not taken into consideration, creating forests unnaturally dense with fuel. Periodic low - intensity wildfires are an integral component of certain ecosystems that evolved to depend on natural fires for vitality, rejuvenation, and regeneration. Examples are chaparral and closed - cone pine forest habitats, which need fire for seeds and cones to sprout. Wildfires also play a role in the preservation of pine barrens, which are well adapted to small ground fires and rely on periodic fires to remove competing species. When a brushland, woodland, or forested area is not impacted by fire for a long period, large quantities of flammable leaves, branches and other organic matter tend to accumulate on the forest floor and above in brush thickets. When a forest fire eventually does occur, the increased fuel creates a crown fire, which destroys all vegetation and affects surface soil chemistry. Frequent small ' natural ' ground fires prevent the accumulation of fuel and allow large, slow - growing vegetation ( e.g. trees ) to survive. There is increasing use of controlled burns directed by skilled firefighters, and allowing wildland fires not causing human harm or threat to burn out. The goal and theme of the Smokey Bear campaign was adjusted in the 2000s, from `` Only you can prevent forest fires '' to `` Only you can prevent wildfires ''. The purpose is to respond to the criticism, and to distinguish ' bad ' intentional or accidental wildfires from the needs of sustainable forests via natural ' good ' fire ecology.

He played 15 seasons in the National Basketball Association ( NBA ) for the Chicago Bulls and Washington Wizards. His biography on the official NBA website states : `` By acclamation, Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all time. '' Jordan was one of the most effectively marketed athletes of his generation and was considered instrumental in popularizing the NBA around the world in the 1980s and 1990s. He is currently the principal owner and chairman of the NBA 's Charlotte Hornets. Jordan played three seasons for coach Dean Smith at the University of North Carolina. As a freshman, he was a member of the Tar Heels ' national championship team in 1982. Jordan joined the Bulls in 1984 as the third overall draft pick. He quickly emerged as a league star and entertained crowds with his prolific scoring. His leaping ability, demonstrated by performing slam dunks from the free throw line in Slam Dunk Contests, earned him the nicknames Air Jordan and His Airness. He also gained a reputation for being one of the best defensive players in basketball. In 1991, he won his first NBA championship with the Bulls, and followed that achievement with titles in 1992 and 1993, securing a `` three - peat ''. Although Jordan abruptly retired from basketball before the beginning of the 1993 -- 94 NBA season and started a new career playing minor league baseball, he returned to the Bulls in March 1995 and led them to three additional championships in 1996, 1997, and 1998, as well as a then - record 72 regular - season wins in the 1995 -- 96 NBA season. Jordan retired for a second time in January 1999, but returned for two more NBA seasons from 2001 to 2003 as a member of the Wizards. Jordan 's individual accolades and accomplishments include six NBA Finals Most Valuable Player ( MVP ) Awards, ten scoring titles ( both all - time records ), five MVP Awards, ten All - NBA First Team designations, nine All - Defensive First Team honors, fourteen NBA All - Star Game selections, three All - Star Game MVP Awards, three steals titles, and the 1988 NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award. He holds the NBA records for highest career regular season scoring average ( 30.12 points per game ) and highest career playoff scoring average ( 33.45 points per game ). In 1999, he was named the greatest North American athlete of the 20th century by ESPN, and was second to Babe Ruth on the Associated Press ' list of athletes of the century. Jordan is a two - time inductee into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, having been enshrined in 2009 for his individual career, and again in 2010 as part of the group induction of the 1992 United States men 's Olympic basketball team ( `` The Dream Team '' ). He became a member of the FIBA Hall of Fame in 2015. Jordan is also known for his product endorsements. He fueled the success of Nike 's Air Jordan sneakers, which were introduced in 1984 and remain popular today. Jordan also starred as himself in the 1996 film Space Jam. In 2006, he became part - owner and head of basketball operations for the Charlotte Bobcats ; he bought a controlling interest in 2010. In 2014, Jordan became the first billionaire player in NBA history. He is the third - richest African - American, behind Robert F. Smith and Oprah Winfrey.

Jordan Sr., an equipment supervisor. His family moved to Wilmington, North Carolina, when he was a toddler. Jordan is the fourth of five children. He has two older brothers, Larry Jordan and James R. Jordan, Jr., one older sister, Deloris, and one younger sister, Roslyn. Jordan 's brother James retired in 2006 as the Command Sergeant Major of the 35th Signal Brigade of the XVIII Airborne Corps in the U.S. Army. High School career Jordan going in for a slam - dunk for the Laney High School varsity basketball team, 1979 -- 80. Jordan attended Emsley A. Laney High School in Wilmington, where he highlighted his athletic career by playing basketball, baseball, and football. He tried out for the varsity basketball team during his sophomore year, but at 5'11 '' ( 1.80 m ), he was deemed too short to play at that level. His taller friend, Harvest Leroy Smith, was the only sophomore to make the team. Motivated to prove his worth, Jordan became the star of Laney 's junior varsity team, and tallied several 40 - point games. The following summer, he grew four inches ( 10 cm ) and trained rigorously. Upon earning a spot on the varsity roster, Jordan averaged about 20 points per game over his final two seasons of high school play. As a senior, he was selected to the McDonald 's All - American Team after averaging a triple - double : 29.2 points, 11.6 rebounds, and 10.1 assists. Jordan was recruited by numerous college basketball programs, including Duke, North Carolina, South Carolina, Syracuse, and Virginia. In 1981, Jordan accepted a basketball scholarship to North Carolina, where he majored in cultural geography. College career Jordan 's number 23 jersey among others in the rafters of the Dean Smith Center As a freshman in coach Dean Smith 's team - oriented system, he was named ACC Freshman of the Year after he averaged 13.4 points per game ( ppg ) on 53.4 % shooting ( field goal percentage ). He made the game - winning jump shot in the 1982 NCAA Championship game against Georgetown, which was led by future NBA rival Patrick Ewing. Jordan later described this shot as the major turning point in his basketball career. During his three seasons at North Carolina, he averaged 17.7 ppg on 54.0 % shooting, and added 5.0 rebounds per game ( rpg ). He was selected by consensus to the NCAA All - American First Team in both his sophomore ( 1983 ) and junior ( 1984 ) seasons. After winning the Naismith and the Wooden College Player of the Year awards in 1984, Jordan left North Carolina one year before his scheduled graduation to enter the 1984 NBA draft. The Chicago Bulls selected Jordan with the third overall pick, after Hakeem Olajuwon ( Houston Rockets ) and Sam Bowie ( Portland Trail Blazers ). One of the primary reasons why Jordan was not drafted sooner was because the first two teams were in need of a center. However, Trail Blazers general manager Stu Inman contended that it was not a matter of drafting a center, but more a matter of taking Sam Bowie over Jordan, in part because Portland already had Clyde Drexler, who was a guard with similar skills to Jordan. ESPN, citing Bowie 's injury - laden college career, named the Blazers ' choice of Bowie as the worst draft pick in North American professional sports history. Jordan returned to North Carolina to complete his degree in 1986. He graduated the same year with a Bachelor of Arts degree in geography. Professional career Early NBA years ( 1984 -- 1987 ) During his rookie season with the Bulls, Jordan averaged 28.2 ppg on 51.5 % shooting. He quickly became a fan favorite even in opposing arenas, and appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated with the heading `` A Star Is Born '' just over a month into his professional career. The fans also voted in Jordan as an All - Star starter during his rookie season. Controversy arose before the All - Star game when word surfaced that several veteran players -- led by Isiah Thomas -- were upset by the amount of attention Jordan was receiving. This led to a so - called `` freeze - out '' on Jordan, where players refused to pass the ball to him throughout the game. The controversy left Jordan relatively unaffected when he returned to regular season play, and he would go on to be voted Rookie of the Year. The Bulls finished the season 38 -- 44 and lost to the Milwaukee Bucks in four games in the first round of the playoffs. Jordan 's second season was cut short when he broke his foot in the third game of the year, causing him to miss 64 games. Despite Jordan 's injury and a 30 -- 52 record ( at the time it was fifth worst record of any team to qualify for the playoffs in NBA history ), the Bulls made the playoffs. Jordan recovered in time to participate in the playoffs and performed well upon his return. Against a 1985 -- 86 Boston Celtics team that is often considered one of the greatest in NBA history, Jordan set the still - unbroken record for points in a playoff game with 63 in Game 2. The Celtics, however, managed to sweep the series. Jordan had completely recovered in time for the 1986 -- 87 season, and he had one of the most prolific scoring seasons in NBA history. He became the only player other than Wilt Chamberlain to score 3,000 points in a season, averaging a league high 37.1 points on 48.2 % shooting. In addition, Jordan demonstrated his defensive prowess, as he became the first player in NBA history to record 200 steals and 100 blocked shots in a season. Despite Jordan 's success, Magic Johnson won the league 's Most Valuable Player Award. The Bulls reached 40 wins, and advanced to the playoffs for the third consecutive year. However, they were again swept by the Celtics. Pistons roadblock ( 1987 -- 1990 ) Jordan ( center ) in 1987 Jordan again led the league in scoring during the 1987 -- 88 season, averaging 35.0 ppg on 53.5 % shooting and won his first league MVP Award. He was also named the Defensive Player of the Year, as he had averaged 1.6 blocks and a league high 3.16 steals per game. The Bulls finished 50 -- 32, and made it out of the first round of the playoffs for the first time in Jordan 's career, as they defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers in five games. However, the Bulls then lost in five games to the more experienced Detroit Pistons, who were led by Isiah Thomas and a group of physical players known as the `` Bad Boys ''. In the 1988 -- 89 season, Jordan again led the league in scoring, averaging 32.5 ppg on 53.8 % shooting from the field, along with 8 rpg and 8 assists per game ( apg ). The Bulls finished with a 47 -- 35 record, and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals, defeating the Cavaliers and New York Knicks along the way. The Cavaliers series included a career highlight for Jordan when he hit The Shot over Craig Ehlo at the buzzer in the fifth and final game of the series. However, the Pistons again defeated the Bulls, this time in six games, by utilizing their `` Jordan Rules '' method of guarding Jordan, which consisted of double and triple teaming him every time he touched the ball. The Bulls entered the 1989 -- 90 season as a team on the rise, with their core group of Jordan and young improving players like Scottie Pippen and Horace Grant, and under the guidance of new coach Phil Jackson. Jordan averaged a league leading 33.6 ppg on 52.6 % shooting, to go with 6.9 rpg and 6.3 apg in leading the Bulls to a 55 -- 27 record. They again advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals after beating the Bucks and Philadelphia 76ers. However, despite pushing the series to seven games, the Bulls lost to the Pistons for the third consecutive season. First three - peat ( 1991 -- 1993 ) In the 1990 -- 91 season, Jordan won his second MVP award after averaging 31.5 ppg on 53.9 % shooting, 6.0 rpg, and 5.5 apg for the regular season. The Bulls finished in first place in their division for the first time in 16 years and set a franchise record with 61 wins in the regular season. With Scottie Pippen developing into an All - Star, the Bulls had elevated their play. The Bulls defeated the New York Knicks and the Philadelphia 76ers in the opening two rounds of the playoffs. They advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals where their rival, the Detroit Pistons, awaited them. However, this time the Bulls beat the Pistons in a four - game sweep. The Bulls advanced to the NBA Finals for the first time in franchise history to face the Los Angeles Lakers, who had Magic Johnson and James Worthy, two formidable opponents. The Bulls won the series four games to one, and compiled a 15 -- 2 playoff record along the way. Perhaps the best known moment of the series came in Game 2 when, attempting a dunk, Jordan avoided a potential Sam Perkins block by switching the ball from his right hand to his left in mid-air to lay the shot into the basket. In his first Finals appearance, Jordan posted per game averages of 31.2 points on 56 % shooting from the field, 11.4 assists, 6.6 rebounds, 2.8 steals, and 1.4 blocks. Jordan won his first NBA Finals MVP award, and he cried while holding the NBA Finals trophy. Jordan and the Bulls continued their dominance in the 1991 -- 92 season, establishing a 67 -- 15 record, topping their franchise record from 1990 -- 91. Jordan won his second consecutive MVP award with averages of 30.1 points, 6.4 rebounds and 6.1 assists per game on 52 % shooting. After winning a physical 7 - game series over the New York Knicks in the second round of the playoffs and finishing off the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Conference Finals in 6 games, the Bulls met Clyde Drexler and the Portland Trail Blazers in the Finals. The media, hoping to recreate a Magic -- Bird rivalry, highlighted the similarities between `` Air '' Jordan and Clyde `` The Glide '' during the pre-Finals hype. In the first game, Jordan scored a Finals - record 35 points in the first half, including a record - setting six three - point field goals. After the sixth three - pointer, he jogged down the court shrugging as he looked courtside. Marv Albert, who broadcast the game, later stated that it was as if Jordan was saying, `` I ca n't believe I 'm doing this. '' The Bulls went on to win Game 1, and defeat the Blazers in six games. Jordan was named Finals MVP for the second year in a row and finished the series averaging 35.8 ppg, 4.8 rpg, and 6.5 apg, while shooting 53 % from the floor. In the 1992 -- 93 season, despite a 32.6 ppg, 6.7 rpg, and 5.5 apg campaign and finishing second in Defensive Player of the Year voting, Jordan 's streak of consecutive MVP seasons ended as he lost the award to his friend Charles Barkley. Coincidentally, Jordan and the Bulls met Barkley and his Phoenix Suns in the 1993 NBA Finals. The Bulls won their third NBA championship on a game - winning shot by John Paxson and a last - second block by Horace Grant, but Jordan was once again Chicago 's leader. He averaged a Finals - record 41.0 ppg during the six - game series, and became the first player in NBA history to win three straight Finals MVP awards. He scored more than 30 points in every game of the series, including 40 or more points in 4 consecutive games. With his third Finals triumph, Jordan capped off a seven - year run where he attained seven scoring titles and three championships, but there were signs that Jordan was tiring of his massive celebrity and all of the non-basketball hassles in his life. Gambling controversy During the Bulls ' playoff run in 1993, controversy arose when Jordan was seen gambling in Atlantic City, New Jersey, the night before a game against the New York Knicks. In that same year, he admitted that he had to cover $57,000 in gambling losses, and author Richard Esquinas wrote a book claiming he had won $1.25 million from Jordan on the golf course. In 2005, Jordan talked to Ed Bradley of the CBS evening show 60 Minutes about his gambling and admitted that he made some reckless decisions. Jordan stated, `` Yeah, I 've gotten myself into situations where I would not walk away and I 've pushed the envelope. Is that compulsive? Yeah, it depends on how you look at it. If you 're willing to jeopardize your livelihood and your family, then yeah. '' When Bradley asked him if his gambling ever got to the level where it jeopardized his livelihood or family, Jordan replied, `` No. '' First retirement and stint in minor league baseball ( 1993 -- 1994 ) Michael Jordan Birmingham Barons -- No. 45 & No. 35 Outfielder Batted : Right Threw : Right Professional debut Southern League : April 8, 1994, for the Birmingham Barons Arizona Fall League : 1994, for the Scottsdale Scorpions Last Southern League appearance March 10, 1995, for the Birmingham Barons Southern League statistics ( through 1994 ) Batting average. 202 Home runs Runs batted in 51 Arizona Fall League statistics Batting average. 252 Teams Birmingham Barons ( 1994 -- 1995 ) Scottsdale Scorpions ( 1994 ) Jordan in training with the Scottsdale Scorpions On October 6, 1993, Jordan announced his retirement, citing a loss of desire to play the game. Jordan later stated that the death of his father three months earlier also shaped his decision. Jordan 's father was murdered on July 23, 1993, at a highway rest area in Lumberton, North Carolina, by two teenagers, Daniel Green and Larry Martin Demery, who carjacked his luxury Lexus bearing the license plate `` UNC 0023 ''. His body was dumped in a South Carolina swamp and was not discovered until August 3. The assailants were traced from calls that they made on James Jordan 's cell phone. The two criminals were caught, convicted at trial, and sentenced to life in prison. Jordan was close to his father ; as a child he had imitated his father 's proclivity to stick out his tongue while absorbed in work. He later adopted it as his own signature, displaying it each time he drove to the basket. In 1996, he founded a Chicago area Boys & Girls Club and dedicated it to his father. In his 1998 autobiography For the Love of the Game, Jordan wrote that he had been preparing for retirement as early as the summer of 1992. The added exhaustion due to the Dream Team run in the 1992 Olympics solidified Jordan 's feelings about the game and his ever - growing celebrity status. Jordan 's announcement sent shock waves throughout the NBA and appeared on the front pages of newspapers around the world. Jordan then further surprised the sports world by signing a minor league baseball contract with the Chicago White Sox on February 7, 1994. He reported to spring training in Sarasota, Florida, and was assigned to the team 's minor league system on March 31, 1994. Jordan has stated this decision was made to pursue the dream of his late father, who had always envisioned his son as a Major League Baseball player. The White Sox were another team owned by Bulls owner Jerry Reinsdorf, who continued to honor Jordan 's basketball contract during the years he played baseball. In 1994, Jordan played for the Birmingham Barons, a Double - A minor league affiliate of the Chicago White Sox, batting. 202 with three home runs, 51 runs batted in, 30 stolen bases, 114 strikeouts, 51 base on balls, and 11 errors. He also appeared for the Scottsdale Scorpions in the 1994 Arizona Fall League, batting. 252 against the top prospects in baseball. On November 1, 1994, his number 23 was retired by the Bulls in a ceremony that included the erection of a permanent sculpture known as The Spirit outside the new United Center. `` I 'm back '' : return to the NBA ( 1995 ) In the 1993 -- 94 season, the Bulls achieved a 55 -- 27 record without Jordan in the lineup, and lost to the New York Knicks in the second round of the playoffs. The 1994 -- 95 Bulls were a shell of the championship team of just two years earlier. Struggling at mid-season to ensure a spot in the playoffs, Chicago was 31 -- 31 at one point in mid-March. The team received help, however, when Jordan decided to return to the Bulls. In March 1995, Jordan decided to quit baseball due to the ongoing Major League Baseball strike, as he wanted to avoid becoming a potential replacement player. On March 18, 1995, Jordan announced his return to the NBA through a two - word press release : `` I 'm back. '' The next day, Jordan took to the court with the Bulls to face the Indiana Pacers in Indianapolis, scoring 19 points. The game had the highest Nielsen rating of a regular season NBA game since 1975. Although he could have opted to wear his normal number in spite of the Bulls having retired it, Jordan instead wore number 45, as he had while playing baseball. Although he had not played an NBA game in a year and a half, Jordan played well upon his return, making a game - winning jump shot against Atlanta in his fourth game back. He then scored 55 points in the next game against the Knicks at Madison Square Garden on March 28, 1995. Boosted by Jordan 's comeback, the Bulls went 13 -- 4 to make the playoffs and advanced to the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Orlando Magic. At the end of Game 1, Orlando 's Nick Anderson stripped Jordan from behind, leading to the game - winning basket for the Magic ; he would later comment that Jordan `` did n't look like the old Michael Jordan '' and that `` No. 45 does n't explode like No. 23 used to. '' Jordan responded by scoring 38 points in the next game, which Chicago won. Before the game, Jordan decided that he would immediately resume wearing his former number, 23. The Bulls were fined $25,000 for failing to report the impromptu number change to the NBA. Jordan was fined an additional $5,000 for opting to wear white sneakers when the rest of the Bulls wore black. He averaged 31 points per game in the series, but Orlando won the series in 6 games. Second three - peat ( 1995 -- 1998 ) Jordan was freshly motivated by the playoff defeat, and he trained aggressively for the 1995 -- 96 season. The Bulls were strengthened by the addition of rebound specialist Dennis Rodman, and the team dominated the league, starting the season at 41 -- 3. The Bulls eventually finished with the then - best regular season record in NBA history, 72 -- 10 ; this record was later surpassed by the 2015 -- 16 Golden State Warriors. Jordan led the league in scoring with 30.4 ppg and won the league 's regular season and All - Star Game MVP awards. In the playoffs, the Bulls lost only three games in four series ( Miami Heat 3 -- 0, New York Knicks 4 -- 1, Orlando Magic 4 -- 0 ). They defeated the Seattle SuperSonics 4 -- 2 in the NBA Finals to win their fourth championship. Jordan was named Finals MVP for a record fourth time, surpassing Magic Johnson 's three Finals MVP awards. He also achieved only the second sweep of the MVP Awards in the All - Star Game, regular season and NBA Finals, Willis Reed having achieved the first, during the 1969 -- 70 season. Because this was Jordan 's first championship since his father 's murder, and it was won on Father 's Day, Jordan reacted very emotionally upon winning the title, including a memorable scene of him crying on the locker room floor with the game ball. In the 1996 -- 97 season, the Bulls started out 69 -- 11, but missed out on a second consecutive 70 - win season by losing their final two games to finish 69 -- 13. However, this year Jordan was beaten for the NBA MVP Award by Karl Malone. The Bulls again advanced to the Finals, where they faced Malone and the Utah Jazz. The series against the Jazz featured two of the more memorable clutch moments of Jordan 's career. He won Game 1 for the Bulls with a buzzer - beating jump shot. In Game 5, with the series tied at 2, Jordan played despite being feverish and dehydrated from a stomach virus. In what is known as the `` Flu Game '', Jordan scored 38 points, including the game - deciding 3 - pointer with 25 seconds remaining. The Bulls won 90 -- 88 and went on to win the series in six games. For the fifth time in as many Finals appearances, Jordan received the Finals MVP award. During the 1997 NBA All - Star Game, Jordan posted the first triple double in All - Star Game history in a victorious effort ; however, he did not receive the MVP award. Jordan with coach Phil Jackson, 1997 Jordan and the Bulls compiled a 62 -- 20 record in the 1997 -- 98 season. Jordan led the league with 28.7 points per game, securing his fifth regular - season MVP award, plus honors for All - NBA First Team, First Defensive Team and the All - Star Game MVP. The Bulls won the Eastern Conference Championship for a third straight season, including surviving a seven - game series with the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals ; it was the first time Jordan had played in a Game 7 since the 1992 Eastern Conference Semifinals with the Knicks. After winning, they moved on for a rematch with the Jazz in the Finals. The Bulls returned to the Delta Center for Game 6 on June 14, 1998, leading the series 3 -- 2. Jordan executed a series of plays, considered to be one of the greatest clutch performances in NBA Finals history. With the Bulls trailing 86 -- 83 with 41.9 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, Phil Jackson called a timeout. When play resumed, Jordan received the inbound pass, drove to the basket, and hit a shot over several Jazz defenders, cutting the Utah lead to 86 -- 85. The Jazz brought the ball upcourt and passed the ball to forward Karl Malone, who was set up in the low post and was being guarded by Rodman. Malone jostled with Rodman and caught the pass, but Jordan cut behind him and took the ball out of his hands for a steal. Jordan then dribbled down the court and paused, eyeing his defender, Jazz guard Bryon Russell. With 10 seconds remaining, Jordan started to dribble right, then crossed over to his left, possibly pushing off Russell, although the officials did not call a foul. With 5.2 seconds left, Jordan gave Chicago an 87 -- 86 lead with a game - winning jumper, the climactic shot of his Bulls career. Afterwards, John Stockton missed a game - winning three - pointer. Jordan and the Bulls won their sixth NBA championship and second three - peat. Once again, Jordan was voted the Finals MVP, having led all scorers averaging 33.5 points per game, including 45 in the deciding Game 6. Jordan 's six Finals MVPs is a record ; Shaquille O'Neal, Magic Johnson, LeBron James and Tim Duncan are tied for second place with three apiece. The 1998 Finals holds the highest television rating of any Finals series in history. Game 6 also holds the highest television rating of any game in NBA history. Second retirement ( 1999 -- 2001 ) Plaque at the United Center that chronicles Jordan 's career achievements. With Phil Jackson 's contract expiring, the pending departures of Scottie Pippen and Dennis Rodman looming, and being in the latter stages of an owner - induced lockout of NBA players, Jordan retired for the second time on January 13, 1999. On January 19, 2000, Jordan returned to the NBA not as a player, but as part owner and president of basketball operations for the Washington Wizards. Jordan 's responsibilities with the Wizards were comprehensive. He controlled all aspects of the Wizards ' basketball operations, and had the final say in all personnel matters. Opinions of Jordan as a basketball executive were mixed. He managed to purge the team of several highly paid, unpopular players ( such as forward Juwan Howard and point guard Rod Strickland ), but used the first pick in the 2001 NBA draft to select high schooler Kwame Brown, who did not live up to expectations and was traded away after four seasons. Despite his January 1999 claim that he was `` 99.9 % certain '' that he would never play another NBA game, in the summer of 2001 Jordan expressed interest in making another comeback, this time with his new team. Inspired by the NHL comeback of his friend Mario Lemieux the previous winter, Jordan spent much of the spring and summer of 2001 in training, holding several invitation - only camps for NBA players in Chicago. In addition, Jordan hired his old Chicago Bulls head coach, Doug Collins, as Washington 's coach for the upcoming season, a decision that many saw as foreshadowing another Jordan return. Washington Wizards comeback ( 2001 -- 2003 ) Jordan as a member of the Washington Wizards, April 14, 2003 On September 25, 2001, Jordan announced his return to the NBA to play for the Washington Wizards, indicating his intention to donate his salary as a player to a relief effort for the victims of the September 11, 2001 attacks. In an injury - plagued 2001 -- 02 season, he led the team in scoring ( 22.9 ppg ), assists ( 5.2 apg ), and steals ( 1.42 spg ). However, torn cartilage in his right knee ended Jordan 's season after only 60 games, the fewest he had played in a regular season since playing 17 games after returning from his first retirement during the 1994 -- 95 season. Jordan started 53 of his 60 games for the season, averaging 24.3 points, 5.4 assists, and 6.0 rebounds, and shooting 41.9 % from the field in his 53 starts. His last seven appearances were in a reserve role, in which he averaged just over 20 minutes per game. Playing in his 14th and final NBA All - Star Game in 2003, Jordan passed Kareem Abdul - Jabbar as the all - time leading scorer in All - Star Game history ( a record since broken by Kobe Bryant ). That year, Jordan was the only Washington player to play in all 82 games, starting in 67 of them. He averaged 20.0 points, 6.1 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 1.5 steals per game. He also shot 45 % from the field, and 82 % from the free throw line. Even though he turned 40 during the season, he scored 20 or more points 42 times, 30 or more points nine times, and 40 or more points three times. On February 21, 2003, Jordan became the first 40 - year - old to tally 43 points in an NBA game. During his stint with the Wizards, all of Jordan 's home games at the MCI Center were sold out, and the Wizards were the second most - watched team in the NBA, averaging 20,172 fans a game at home and 19,311 on the road. However, neither of Jordan 's final two seasons resulted in a playoff appearance for the Wizards, and Jordan was often unsatisfied with the play of those around him. At several points he openly criticized his teammates to the media, citing their lack of focus and intensity, notably that of the number one draft pick in the 2001 NBA draft, Kwame Brown. With the recognition that 2002 -- 03 would be Jordan 's final season, tributes were paid to him throughout the NBA. In his final game at the United Center in Chicago, which was his old home court, Jordan received a four - minute standing ovation. The Miami Heat retired the number 23 jersey on April 11, 2003, even though Jordan never played for the team. At the 2003 All - Star Game, Jordan was offered a starting spot from Tracy McGrady and Allen Iverson, but refused both. In the end, he accepted the spot of Vince Carter, who decided to give it up under great public pressure. Jordan played in his final NBA game on April 16, 2003, in Philadelphia. After scoring only 13 points in the game, Jordan went to the bench with 4 minutes and 13 seconds remaining in the third quarter and his team trailing the Philadelphia 76ers, 75 -- 56. Just after the start of the fourth quarter, the First Union Center crowd began chanting `` We want Mike! '' After much encouragement from coach Doug Collins, Jordan finally rose from the bench and re-entered the game, replacing Larry Hughes with 2 : 35 remaining. At 1 : 45, Jordan was intentionally fouled by the 76ers ' Eric Snow, and stepped to the line to make both free throws. After the second foul shot, the 76ers in - bounded the ball to rookie John Salmons, who in turn was intentionally fouled by Bobby Simmons one second later, stopping time so that Jordan could return to the bench. Jordan received a three - minute standing ovation from his teammates, his opponents, the officials, and the crowd of 21,257 fans. Olympic career Jordan on the `` Dream Team '' in 1992 Jordan played on two Olympic gold medal - winning American basketball teams. He won a gold medal as a college player in the 1984 Summer Olympics. The team was coached by Bob Knight and featured players such as Patrick Ewing, Sam Perkins, Chris Mullin, Steve Alford, and Wayman Tisdale. Jordan led the team in scoring, averaging 17.1 ppg for the tournament. In the 1992 Summer Olympics, he was a member of the star - studded squad that included Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, and David Robinson and was dubbed the `` Dream Team ''. Jordan was the only player to start all 8 games in the Olympics. Playing limited minutes due to the frequent blowouts, Jordan averaged 14.9 ppg, finishing second on the team in scoring. Jordan and fellow Dream Team members Patrick Ewing and Chris Mullin are the only American men 's basketball players to win Olympic gold medals as amateurs and professionals. Post-retirement Jordan on a golf course in 2007 After his third retirement, Jordan assumed that he would be able to return to his front office position as Director of Basketball Operations with the Wizards. However, his previous tenure in the Wizards ' front office had produced the aforementioned mixed results and may have also influenced the trade of Richard `` Rip '' Hamilton for Jerry Stackhouse ( although Jordan was not technically Director of Basketball Operations in 2002 ). On May 7, 2003, Wizards owner Abe Pollin fired Jordan as the team 's president of basketball operations. Jordan later stated that he felt betrayed, and that if he had known he would be fired upon retiring he never would have come back to play for the Wizards. Jordan kept busy over the next few years. He stayed in shape, played golf in celebrity charity tournaments, and spent time with his family in Chicago. He also promoted his Jordan Brand clothing line and rode motorcycles. Since 2004, Jordan has owned Michael Jordan Motorsports, a professional closed - course motorcycle road racing team that competed with two Suzukis in the premier Superbike championship sanctioned by the American Motorcyclist Association ( AMA ) until the end of the 2013 season. In 2006, Jordan and his wife Juanita pledged $5 million to Chicago 's Hales Franciscan High School. The Jordan Brand has made donations to Habitat for Humanity and a Louisiana branch of the Boys & Girls Clubs of America. Charlotte Bobcats / Hornets On June 15, 2006, Jordan bought a minority stake in the Charlotte Bobcats, becoming the team 's second - largest shareholder behind majority owner Robert L. Johnson. As part of the deal, Jordan took full control over the basketball side of the operation, with the title `` Managing Member of Basketball Operations. '' Despite Jordan 's previous success as an endorser, he has made an effort not to be included in Charlotte 's marketing campaigns. A decade earlier, Jordan had made a bid to become part - owner of Charlotte 's original NBA team, the Charlotte Hornets, but talks collapsed when owner George Shinn refused to give Jordan complete control of basketball operations. In February 2010, it was reported that Jordan was seeking majority ownership of the Bobcats. As February wore on, it became apparent that Jordan and former Houston Rockets president George Postolos were the leading contenders for ownership of the team. On February 27, the Bobcats announced that Johnson had reached an agreement with Jordan and his group, MJ Basketball Holdings, to buy the team pending NBA approval. On March 17, the NBA Board of Governors unanimously approved Jordan 's purchase, making him the first former player to become the majority owner of an NBA team. It also made him the league 's only African - American majority owner of an NBA team. During the 2011 NBA lockout, The New York Times wrote that Jordan led a group of 10 to 14 hardline owners who wanted to cap the players ' share of basketball - related income at 50 percent and as low as 47. Journalists observed that, during the labor dispute in 1998, Jordan had told Washington Wizards then - owner Abe Pollin, `` If you ca n't make a profit, you should sell your team. '' Jason Whitlock of FoxSports.com called Jordan a `` sellout '' wanting `` current players to pay for his incompetence. '' He cited Jordan 's executive decisions to draft disappointing players Kwame Brown and Adam Morrison. During the 2011 -- 12 NBA season that was shortened to 66 games by the lockout, the Bobcats posted a 7 -- 59 record. Their. 106 winning percentage was the worst in NBA history. `` I 'm not real happy about the record book scenario last year. It 's very, very frustrating '', Jordan said later that year. Player profile Jordan goes to the basket for a score in 1987. Jordan was a shooting guard who was also capable of playing as a small forward ( the position he would primarily play during his second return to professional basketball with the Washington Wizards ), and as a point guard. Jordan was known throughout his career for being a strong clutch performer. With the Bulls, he decided 25 games with field goals or free throws in the last 30 seconds, including two NBA Finals games and five other playoff contests. His competitiveness was visible in his prolific trash - talk and well - known work ethic. As the Bulls organization built the franchise around Jordan, management had to trade away players who were not `` tough enough '' to compete with him in practice. To help improve his defense, he spent extra hours studying film of opponents. On offense, he relied more upon instinct and improvisation at game time. Noted as a durable player, Jordan did not miss four or more games while active for a full season from 1986 -- 87 to 2001 -- 02, when he injured his right knee. He played all 82 games nine times. Jordan has frequently cited David Thompson, Walter Davis, and Jerry West as influences. Confirmed at the start of his career, and possibly later on, Jordan had a special `` Love of the Game Clause '' written into his contract ( unusual at the time ) which allowed him to play basketball against anyone at any time, anywhere. Jordan had a versatile offensive game. He was capable of aggressively driving to the basket, as well as drawing fouls from his opponents at a high rate ; his 8,772 free throw attempts are the ninth - highest total of all time. As his career progressed, Jordan also developed the ability to post up his opponents and score with his trademark fadeaway jump shot, using his leaping ability to `` fade away '' from block attempts. According to Hubie Brown, this move alone made him nearly unstoppable. Despite media criticism as a `` selfish '' player early in his career, Jordan 's 5.3 assists per game also indicate his willingness to defer to his teammates. After shooting under 30 % from three - point range in his first five seasons in the NBA, including a career - low 13 % in the 1987 -- 88 season, Jordan improved to a career - high 50 % in the 1994 -- 95 season. The three - point shot became more of a focus of his game from 1994 -- 95 to 1996 -- 97, when the NBA shortened its three - point line to 22 ft ( 6.7 m ) ( from 23 ft 9 in ( 7.24 m ) ). His three - point field - goal percentages ranged from 35 % to 43 % in seasons in which he attempted at least 230 three - pointers between 1989 -- 90 and 1996 -- 97. For a guard, Jordan was also a good rebounder ( 6.2 per game ). In 1988, Jordan was honored with the NBA 's Defensive Player of the Year Award and became the first NBA player to win both the Defensive Player of the Year and MVP awards in a career ( since equaled by Hakeem Olajuwon, David Robinson, and Kevin Garnett ; Olajuwon is the only player other than Jordan to win both during the same season ). In addition, he set both seasonal and career records for blocked shots by a guard, and combined this with his ball - thieving ability to become a standout defensive player. He ranks third in NBA history in total steals with 2,514, trailing John Stockton and Jason Kidd. Jerry West often stated that he was more impressed with Jordan 's defensive contributions than his offensive ones. He was also known to have strong eyesight ; broadcaster Al Michaels said that he was able to read baseball box scores on a 27 - inch ( 69 cm ) television clearly from about 50 feet ( 15 m ) away.

Larry Bird said that he had `` never seen anyone like him '', that he was `` one of a kind '', and that Jordan was the best player he had ever seen and comparable to Wayne Gretzky as an athlete. In Jordan 's first game in Madison Square Garden against the New York Knicks, he received a prolonged standing ovation, a rarity for an opposing player. After Jordan scored a playoff record 63 points against the Boston Celtics on April 20, 1986, Bird described him as `` God disguised as Michael Jordan ''. Jordan led the NBA in scoring in 10 seasons ( NBA record ) and tied Wilt Chamberlain 's record of seven consecutive scoring titles. He was also a fixture on the NBA All - Defensive First Team, making the roster nine times ( NBA record shared with Gary Payton, Kevin Garnett and Kobe Bryant ). Jordan also holds the top career regular season and playoff scoring averages of 30.1 and 33.4 points per game, respectively. By 1998, the season of his Finals - winning shot against the Jazz, he was well known throughout the league as a clutch performer. In the regular season, Jordan was the Bulls ' primary threat in the final seconds of a close game and in the playoffs ; he would always ask for the ball at crunch time. Jordan 's total of 5,987 points in the playoffs is the second - highest in NBA history. He retired with 32,292 points in regular season play, placing him fourth on the NBA 's all - time scoring list behind Kareem Abdul - Jabbar, Karl Malone, and Kobe Bryant. With five regular - season MVPs ( tied for second place with Bill Russell -- only Kareem Abdul - Jabbar has won more, with six ), six Finals MVPs ( NBA record ), and three All - Star Game MVPs, Jordan is the most decorated player in NBA history. Jordan finished among the top three in regular - season MVP voting 10 times, and was named one of the 50 Greatest Players in NBA History in 1996. He is one of only seven players in history to win an NCAA championship, an NBA championship, and an Olympic gold medal ( doing so twice with the 1984 and 1992 U.S. men 's basketball teams ). Since 1976, the year of the NBA 's merger with the American Basketball Association, Jordan and Pippen are the only two players to win six NBA Finals playing for one team. In the All - Star Game fan ballot, Jordan received the most votes nine times, more than any other player. `` There 's Michael Jordan and then there is the rest of us. '' -- Magic Johnson Many of Jordan 's contemporaries have said that Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all time. In 1999, an ESPN survey of journalists, athletes and other sports figures ranked Jordan the greatest North American athlete of the 20th century, above such luminaries as Babe Ruth and Muhammad Ali. Jordan placed second to Babe Ruth in the Associated Press ' December 1999 list of 20th century athletes. In addition, the Associated Press voted him the greatest basketball player of the 20th century. Jordan has also appeared on the front cover of Sports Illustrated a record 50 times. In the September 1996 issue of Sport, which was the publication 's 50th - anniversary issue, Jordan was named the greatest athlete of the past 50 years. Jordan 's athletic leaping ability, highlighted in his back - to - back slam dunk contest championships in 1987 and 1988, is credited by many people with having influenced a generation of young players. Several current NBA players -- including LeBron James and Dwyane Wade -- have stated that they considered Jordan their role model while they were growing up. In addition, commentators have dubbed a number of next - generation players `` the next Michael Jordan '' upon their entry to the NBA, including Penny Hardaway, Grant Hill, Allen Iverson, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Vince Carter, and Dwyane Wade. Although Jordan was a well - rounded player, his `` Air Jordan '' image is also often credited with inadvertently decreasing the jump shooting skills, defense, and fundamentals of young players, a fact Jordan himself has lamented. I think it was the exposure of Michael Jordan ; the marketing of Michael Jordan. Everything was marketed towards the things that people wanted to see, which was scoring and dunking. That Michael Jordan still played defense and an all - around game, but it was never really publicized. During his heyday, Jordan did much to increase the status of the game, but the popularity of the NBA in the U.S. appears to have declined since his last title. Television ratings in particular increased only during his time in the league, and Finals ratings have not returned to the level reached during his last championship - winning season. Jordan receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Barack Obama at the White House. In August 2009, the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Massachusetts, opened a Michael Jordan exhibit that contained items from his college and NBA careers, as well as from the 1992 `` Dream Team ''. The exhibit also has a batting glove to signify Jordan 's short career in minor league baseball. After Jordan received word of his acceptance into the Hall of Fame, he selected Class of 1996 member David Thompson to present him. As Jordan would later explain during his induction speech in September 2009, when he was growing up in North Carolina, he was not a fan of the Tar Heels and greatly admired Thompson, who played at rival North Carolina State. In September, he was inducted into the Hall with several former Bulls teammates in attendance, including Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman, Charles Oakley, Ron Harper, Steve Kerr, and Toni Kukoč. Two of Jordan 's former coaches, Dean Smith and Doug Collins, were also among those present. His emotional reaction during his speech -- when he began to cry -- was captured by Associated Press photographer Stephan Savoia and would later go viral on social media as the Crying Jordan Internet meme. In 2016, President Barack Obama honored Jordan with the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Personal life Jordan married Juanita Vanoy in September 1989, and they had two sons, Jeffrey Michael and Marcus James, and a daughter, Jasmine. Jordan and Vanoy filed for divorce on January 4, 2002, citing irreconcilable differences, but reconciled shortly thereafter. They again filed for divorce and were granted a final decree of dissolution of marriage on December 29, 2006, commenting that the decision was made `` mutually and amicably ''. It is reported that Juanita received a $168 million settlement ( equivalent to $204 million in 2017 ), making it the largest celebrity divorce settlement on public record at the time. In 1991, Jordan purchased a lot in Highland Park, Illinois, to build a 56,000 square - foot ( 5,200 m ) mansion, which was completed four years later. Jordan listed his Highland Park mansion for sale in 2012. His two sons attended Loyola Academy, a private Roman Catholic high school located in Wilmette, Illinois. Jeffrey graduated as a member of the 2007 graduating class and played his first collegiate basketball game on November 11, 2007, for the University of Illinois. After two seasons, Jeffrey left the Illinois basketball team in 2009. He later rejoined the team for a third season, then received a release to transfer to the University of Central Florida, where Marcus was attending. Marcus transferred to Whitney Young High School after his sophomore year at Loyola Academy and graduated in 2009. He began attending UCF in the fall of 2009, and played three seasons of basketball for the school. On July 21, 2006, a judge in Cook County, Illinois, determined that Jordan did not owe his alleged former lover Karla Knafel $5 million in a breach of contract claim. Jordan had allegedly paid Knafel $250,000 to keep their relationship a secret. Knafel claimed Jordan promised her $5 million for remaining silent and agreeing not to file a paternity suit after Knafel learned she was pregnant in 1991. A DNA test showed Jordan was not the father of the child. He proposed to his longtime girlfriend, Cuban - American model Yvette Prieto, on Christmas 2011, and they were married on April 27, 2013, at Bethesda - by - the - Sea Episcopal Church. It was announced on November 30, 2013, that the two were expecting their first child together. On February 11, 2014, Prieto gave birth to identical twin daughters named Victoria and Ysabel. Media figure and Business interests Endorsements Michael Jordan in 2008 Jordan is one of the most marketed sports figures in history. He has been a major spokesman for such brands as Nike, Coca - Cola, Chevrolet, Gatorade, McDonald 's, Ball Park Franks, Rayovac, Wheaties, Hanes, and MCI. Jordan has had a long relationship with Gatorade, appearing in over 20 commercials for the company since 1991, including the `` Be Like Mike '' commercials in which a song was sung by children wishing to be like Jordan. Nike created a signature shoe for him, called the Air Jordan. One of Jordan 's more popular commercials for the shoe involved Spike Lee playing the part of Mars Blackmon. In the commercials Lee, as Blackmon, attempted to find the source of Jordan 's abilities and became convinced that `` it 's got ta be the shoes ''. The hype and demand for the shoes even brought on a spate of `` shoe - jackings '' where people were robbed of their sneakers at gunpoint. Subsequently, Nike spun off the Jordan line into its own division named the `` Jordan Brand ''. The company features an impressive list of athletes and celebrities as endorsers. The brand has also sponsored college sports programs such as those of North Carolina, Cal, Georgetown, and Marquette. Jordan also has been associated with the Looney Tunes cartoon characters. A Nike commercial shown during 1992 's Super Bowl XXVI featured Jordan and Bugs Bunny playing basketball. The Super Bowl commercial inspired the 1996 live action / animated film Space Jam, which starred Jordan and Bugs in a fictional story set during the former 's first retirement from basketball. They have subsequently appeared together in several commercials for MCI. Jordan also made an appearance in the music video of Michael Jackson 's `` Jam '' ( 1992 ). Jordan 's yearly income from the endorsements is estimated to be over forty million dollars. In addition, when Jordan 's power at the ticket gates was at its highest point, the Bulls regularly sold out both their home and road games. Due to this, Jordan set records in player salary by signing annual contracts worth in excess of US $30 million per season. An academic study found that Jordan 's first NBA comeback resulted in an increase in the market capitalization of his client firms of more than $1 billion. Most of Jordan 's endorsement deals, including his first deal with Nike, were engineered by his agent, David Falk. Jordan has described Falk as `` the best at what he does '' and that `` marketing-wise, he 's great. He 's the one who came up with the concept of ' Air Jordan. ' '' Business ventures In June 2010, Jordan was ranked by Forbes magazine as the 20th-most powerful celebrity in the world with $55 million earned between June 2009 and June 2010. According to the Forbes article, Jordan Brand generates $1 billion in sales for Nike. In June 2014, Jordan was named the first NBA player to become a billionaire, after he increased his stake in the Charlotte Hornets from 80 % to 89.5 %. On January 20, 2015, Jordan was honored with the Charlotte Business Journal 's Business Person of the Year for 2014. In 2017, he became a part owner of the Miami Marlins of Major League Baseball. Forbes designated Jordan as the athlete with the highest career earnings in 2017. From his Jordan Brand income and endorsements, Jordan 's 2015 income was an estimated $110 million, the most of any retired athlete. As of August 2018, his current net worth is estimated at $1.7 billion by Forbes. Jordan is the third - richest African - American as of 2018, behind Robert F. Smith and Oprah Winfrey. Jordan co-owns an automotive group which bears his name. The company has a Nissan dealership in Durham, North Carolina, acquired in 1990, and formerly had a Lincoln -- Mercury dealership from 1995 until its closure in June 2009. The company also owned a Nissan franchise in Glen Burnie, Maryland. The restaurant industry is another business interest of Jordan 's. His restaurants include a steakhouse in New York City 's Grand Central Terminal, among others.

{ "text": "Long Island Iced Tea - wikipedia Long Island Iced Tea Jump to : navigation, search Not to be confused with Long Island Iced Tea Corp. Long Island Iced Tea IBA Official Cocktail The Long Island Iced Tea was named for its visual resemblance to non-alcoholic Iced tea. Type Cocktail Primary alcohol by volume Gin Tequila Vodka Rum Triple sec Served On the rocks ; poured over ice Standard drinkware Highball glass IBA specified ingredients 1.5 cl Tequila 1.5 cl Vodka 1.5 cl White rum 1.5 cl Triple sec 1.5 cl Gin 2.5 cl Lemon juice 3.0 cl Gomme Syrup 1 dash of Cola Preparation Add all ingredients into highball glass filled with ice. Stir gently. Garnish with lemon spiral. Serve with straw. Long Island Iced Tea recipe at International Bartenders Association A Long Island Iced Tea is a type of alcoholic mixed drink typically made with vodka, tequila, light rum, triple sec, gin, and a splash of cola, which gives the drink the same amber hue as its namesake. A popular version mixes equal parts vodka, gin, rum, triple sec, with 11⁄2 parts sour mix and a splash of cola. Most variants use equal parts of the main liquors, but include a smaller amount of triple sec ( or other orange - flavored liqueur ). Close variants often replace the sour mix with lemon juice, replace the cola with diet cola or actual iced tea, or add white crème de menthe. Most variants do not include any tea. The drink has a much higher alcohol concentration ( approximately 22 percent ) than most highball drinks due to the relatively small amount of mixer. Origin ( edit ) Robert `` Rosebud '' Butt claims to have invented the Long Island Iced Tea as an entry in a contest to create a new mixed drink with triple sec in 1972 while he worked at the Oak Beach Inn on Long Island, New York. A slightly different drink is claimed to have been invented in the 1920s during Prohibition in the United States by an `` Old Man Bishop '' in a local community named Long Island in Kingsport, Tennessee. The drink was then perfected by Ransom Bishop, Old Man Bishop 's son. This drink included whiskey and maple syrup, and varied quantities of the five liquors, rather than the modern one with cola and five equal portions of the five liquors.
