List of highest-grossing films
While inflation has eroded away the achievements of most films from the 1960s and 1970s , there are franchises originating from that period that are still active . Besides the Star Wars and Superman franchises , James Bond and Star Trek films are still being released periodically ; all four are among the highest - grossing franchises . Some of the older films that held the record of highest - grossing film still have respectable grosses by today 's standards , but no longer compete numerically against today 's top - earners in an era of much higher individual ticket prices . When properly adjusted for inflation , however , on that comparative scale Gone with the Wind -- which was the highest - grossing film outright for twenty - five years -- is still the highest - grossing film of all time . All grosses on the list are expressed in U.S. dollars at their nominal value , except where stated otherwise .
General of the Army (United States)
Unlike the World War II rank with a similar title , the 1866 rank of General of the Army was a four - star rank . This rank held all the authority and power of a 1799 proposal for a rank of `` General of the Armies '' even though Grant was never called by this title .
Star Wars: The Force Awakens
Analysts said that the box office receipts of the film , when compared to predecessors , must be adjusted for inflation , and that the first Star Wars film made more when this adjustment is made . It has further been observed that each of the first three films in the series was more profitable in calculating revenue against production costs . Box office analyst Paul Dergarabedian said that while Avatar and The Force Awakens were both released on the same date of December 18 , higher ticket prices in 2015 and IMAX screenings could push Star Wars `` into the box office stratosphere '' . On December 23 , Mark Hughes of Forbes stated that The Force Awakens had matched the most optimistic projections for its opening , and he predicted that The Force Awakens would likely surpass Titanic as the second - highest - grossing film of all time . He also stated that The Force Awakens could catch Avatar as the top - grossing film of all time , but only if it managed to avoid major week - to - week declines in ticket sales .
The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson
McMahon , who held the same role in Carson 's ABC game show Who Do You Trust ? for five years previously , would remain standing to the side as Carson did his monologue , laughing ( sometimes obsequiously ) at his jokes , then join him at the guest chair when Carson moved to his desk . The two would usually interact in a comic spot for a short while before the first guest was introduced .
Cowboys–Redskins rivalry
September 12 , 2010 , the Redskins beat the Cowboys . One of the game 's highlights was a Fumble return for a TD for the Redskins as time expired in the first half . Late in the fourth quarter , Tony Romo led the team down the field . With three seconds on the clock and the score 13 - 7 , Romo made a touchdown pass to wide receiver Roy Williams that would 've at least tied the game , depending on the PAT . However , the touchdown was negated due to a holding call against Alex Barron as time expired , and Washington held on to win . December 19 , 2010 , marked the 100th meeting between the two clubs . The Cowboys built a 20 - 7 lead by halftime . By the end of the third quarter the Cowboys led 30 - 14 . The Redskins started quarterback Rex Grossman who filled in for the recently benched Donovan McNabb and he brought the Redskins back to an even 30 - 30 with minutes left to play . Cowboys kicker David Buehler kicked a 39 - yard field goal to put Dallas up 33 - 30 with 50 seconds to play . Rex Grossman then drove the Redskins down the field only to be intercepted by cornerback Terrence Newman to end the game . Dallas ' Jason Witten caught 10 passes for 140 yards and a touchdown , and became only the fourth tight end in NFL history with 600 career catches . He did it the fastest , needing only 125 games . September 26 , 2011 , prior to the game , the Redskins gathered in the middle of the field at Cowboys Stadium where several players were seen to be `` stomping on the Star . '' London Fletcher was also overheard proclaiming to his team , `` Why are we standing on this star ? Cuz this is our house . '' Tony Romo overcame 4 botched snaps and several receivers running wrong routes to put the Cowboys within scoring position for the final field goal to ultimately win the game . November 22 , 2012 , In quarterback Robert Griffin III 's first start against the Cowboys , the Redskins defeated the Cowboys 38 - 31 at Cowboys Stadium . After the Redskins built a 28 - 3 lead , Dallas quarterback Tony Romo led the Cowboys to within seven but it proved too little too late as the Redskins held on to win .
Republican Party (United States)
The first official party convention was held on July 6 , 1854 in Jackson , Michigan . By 1858 , the Republicans dominated nearly all Northern states . The Republican Party first came to power in the elections of 1860 when it won control of both houses of Congress and its candidate , Abraham Lincoln , was elected President . It oversaw the preserving of the Union , the end of slavery and the provision of equal rights to all men in the American Civil War and Reconstruction ( 1861 -- 1877 ) .
U.S. national anthem protests (2016–present)
On October 1 , at East Carolina University , about 19 members of the band kneeled , while about another two held the American flag during the national anthem at the beginning of the football game against the University of Central Florida . There have been almost no such incidents involving college football players , for the simple reason that college players and coaches are typically in the locker room when the anthem is played . There has been at least one exception to the rule , however . During a September 2016 away game at Northwestern , where players are traditionally on the field during the anthem , three Nebraska players knelt on the sideline . The NCAA football rule book does not address the issue of pregame ceremonies ( patriotic or otherwise ) at all , except to say that team captains must be present for a coin toss three minutes before the first - half kickoff .
Planet of the Apes
In 1983 , 20th Century Fox Videogames developed a Planet of the Apes game for the Atari 2600 , which was to be the first computer game based on the series . However , the game was still in the prototype phase when Fox shuttered its game division during the video game crash of 1983 , and never saw release . It was assumed lost until 2002 , when collectors identified a prototype , found earlier in a case labeled Alligator People , as the missing Apes game . Independent designers Retrodesign completed and released the game as Revenge of the Apes in 2003 . In the game , the player controls Taylor as he fights apes across several levels inspired by the film to reach the Statue of Liberty .
History of the Pittsburgh Pirates
In 2012 , the Pirates aggressively pursued and acquired Yankees pitcher A.J. Burnett to bolster their starting pitching staff . During the first few months of the season , team pitching held up very well , but the offense was sluggish . However , the bats began to pick up in June as many of the players began to dramatically improve offensively . By the time July hit , the Pirates had soared to first place in the NL Central at the All Star break -- the first time the Bucs entered the break at first place since the `` Freak Show '' team of 1997 . Andrew McCutchen would lead the majors in batting average and the `` Power of Zoltan '' ( reference to a character scene in the movie Dude , Where 's My Car ? ) began to sweep PNC Park and the city of Pittsburgh .
2017 World Series
The starting pitchers for Game 2 were Rich Hill for the Dodgers and Justin Verlander for the Astros . The Astros scored first when Bregman drove in Josh Reddick with a hit in the third inning . Hill struck out seven in four innings but was replaced by Kenta Maeda in the fifth . Joc Pederson tied the game with a solo home run in the bottom of the fifth inning , and the Dodgers took the lead when Corey Seager hit a two - run home run in the bottom of the sixth inning . Verlander allowed two hits , both home runs , in his six innings pitched . Carlos Correa drove in the Astros ' second run of the game on a single in the eighth , ending the Dodgers bullpen 's streak of 28 consecutive scoreless innings in the postseason . Marwin González hit a home run off Jansen in the ninth to tie the game . This was only Jansen 's second blown save all season and snapped his streak of converting his first 12 postseason save opportunities , a major league record .
Death Star
In the film Rogue One , it is revealed that the Death Star 's superlaser is powered by multiple reactors , allowing it to vary its destructive power depending on the target . Skeptical of the station 's power , Tarkin ordered that it first be tested on Jedha City using a single reactor . Subsequently , a second single - reactor test would destroy their installation on Scarif , along with the Rebel strike force who had successfully stolen the station 's plans . The destruction of the planet Alderaan would be the first time the Death Star was tested with all reactors employed . DS
Carolina Panthers
The Panthers typically pair their white jerseys with white pants , while the black and blue jerseys are paired with silver pants ; there have only been a few exceptions to these combinations . The first such instance was in 1998 , when the team paired their white jerseys with silver pants in a game against the Indianapolis Colts . The second instance was in 2012 during a game against the Denver Broncos , when they paired their black jerseys with new black pants ; this created an all - black uniform , with the exception of blue socks and silver helmets . The decision to wear blue socks was made by team captain Steve Smith , who felt the blue socks gave the uniforms a more distinct appearance compared with other teams that have all - black uniforms . The all - black uniforms won the `` Greatest Uniform in NFL History '' contest , a fan - voted contest run by NFL.com in July 2013 . In July 2013 , the team 's equipment manager , Jackie Miles , said the Panthers intended to use the all - black uniform more in the future . The Panthers wore the all - black uniform three times the following season , once each in the preseason and regular season , and the third time during the home divisional round playoff game vs the 49ers . During the Panthers ' 2015 Thanksgiving Day game against the Dallas Cowboys , they debuted an all - blue uniform as part of Nike 's `` Color Rush '' series .
Seattle Seahawks
During the Seahawks ' first ten seasons ( 1976 -- 85 ) , the team 's headquarters was at Carillon Point on the shores of Lake Washington . The summer training camps were initially held at Eastern Washington University in Cheney , just southwest of Spokane . When the team 's new headquarters across town in Kirkland were completed in 1986 , the Seahawks held training camp at home for the next eleven seasons ( 1986 -- 96 ) , staying in the dormitories of the adjacent Northwest College . In Dennis Erickson 's third season as head coach , the team returned to the hotter and more isolated Cheney in 1997 , where they held training camp through 2006 . In 2007 , training camp returned to their Kirkland facility , because of the scheduled China Bowl game that was later canceled . In 2008 , the Seahawks held the first three weeks of camp in Kirkland , then moved to the new 19 - acre ( 92,000 sq yd ) Virginia Mason Athletic Center ( VMAC ) on August 18 for the final week of training camp . The new facility , adjacent to Lake Washington in Renton , has four full - size practice fields : three natural grass outdoors and one FieldTurf indoors .

Red giant
Red giants are evolved from main - sequence stars with masses in the range from about 0.3 M to around 8 M . When a star initially forms from a collapsing molecular cloud in the interstellar medium , it contains primarily hydrogen and helium , with trace amounts of `` metals '' ( in stellar structure , this simply refers to any element that is not hydrogen or helium i.e. atomic number greater than 2 ) . These elements are all uniformly mixed throughout the star . The star reaches the main sequence when the core reaches a temperature high enough to begin fusing hydrogen ( a few million kelvin ) and establishes hydrostatic equilibrium . Over its main sequence life , the star slowly converts the hydrogen in the core into helium ; its main - sequence life ends when nearly all the hydrogen in the core has been fused . For the Sun , the main - sequence lifetime is approximately 10 billion years . More - massive stars burn disproportionately faster and so have a shorter lifetime than less massive stars .
