The Civil War is the most studied and written about episode in U.S. history . Largely as a result of the long - standing controversy over the enslavement of black people , war broke out in April 1861 , when secessionist forces attacked Fort Sumter in South Carolina , shortly after United States President Abraham Lincoln was inaugurated . The loyalists of the Union in the North proclaimed support for the Constitution . They faced secessionists of the Confederate States in the South , who advocated for states ' rights to uphold slavery . Among the 34 U.S. states in February 1861 , seven Southern slave states individually declared their secession from the country to form the Confederate States of America . The Confederacy grew to include eleven states , all of them slaveholding . The Confederacy was never diplomatically recognized by the United States government , nor was it recognized by any foreign country . The states that remained loyal to the U.S. were known as the Union . The Union and Confederacy quickly raised volunteer and conscription armies that fought mostly in the South over the course of four years . Intense combat left 620,000 to 750,000 people dead , more than the number of U.S. military deaths in all other wars combined . The Union finally won the war when General Robert E. Lee surrendered to General Ulysses S. Grant at the Battle of Appomattox Court House , followed with a series of surrenders by Confederate generals throughout the southern states . Much of the South 's infrastructure was destroyed , especially the transportation systems . The Confederacy collapsed , slavery was abolished , and 4 million black slaves were freed . The Reconstruction Era ( 1863 -- 1877 ) overlapped and followed the war , with the process of restoring national unity , strengthening the national government , and granting civil rights to freed black slaves throughout the country .

The Southern states viewed this as a violation of their constitutional rights and as the first step in a grander Republican plan to eventually abolish slavery . The three pro-Union candidates together received an overwhelming 82 % majority of the votes cast nationally : Republican Lincoln 's votes centered in the north , Democrat Stephen A. Douglas ' votes were distributed nationally and Constitutional Unionist John Bell 's votes centered in Tennessee , Kentucky , and Virginia . The Republican Party , dominant in the North , secured a plurality of the popular votes and a majority of the electoral votes nationally , thus Lincoln was constitutionally elected president . He was the first Republican Party candidate to win the presidency . However , before his inauguration , seven slave states with cotton - based economies declared secession and formed the Confederacy . The first six to declare secession had the highest proportions of slaves in their populations , a total of 49 percent . Of those states whose legislatures resolved for secession , the first seven voted with split majorities for unionist candidates Douglas and Bell ( Georgia with 51 % and Louisiana with 55 % ) , or with sizable minorities for those unionists ( Alabama with 46 % , Mississippi with 40 % , Florida with 38 % , Texas with 25 % , and South Carolina , which cast Electoral College votes without a popular vote for president . Of these , only Texas held a referendum on secession . Confederate Army flag Eight remaining slave states continued to reject calls for secession . Outgoing Democratic President James Buchanan and the incoming Republicans rejected secession as illegal . Lincoln 's March 4 , 1861 , inaugural address declared that his administration would not initiate a civil war . Speaking directly to the `` Southern States '' , he attempted to calm their fears of any threats to slavery , reaffirming , `` I have no purpose , directly or indirectly to interfere with the institution of slavery in the United States where it exists . I believe I have no lawful right to do so , and I have no inclination to do so . '' After Confederate forces seized numerous federal forts within territory claimed by the Confederacy , efforts at compromise failed and both sides prepared for war . The Confederates assumed that European countries were so dependent on `` King Cotton '' that they would intervene , but none did , and none recognized the new Confederate States of America . Hostilities began on April 12 , 1861 , when Confederate forces fired upon Fort Sumter . While in the Western Theater the Union made significant permanent gains , in the Eastern Theater , the battle was inconclusive from 1861 -- 1862 . Later , in 1863 , Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation , which made ending slavery a war goal . To the west , by summer 1862 the Union destroyed the Confederate river navy , then much of their western armies , and seized New Orleans . The 1863 Union Siege of Vicksburg split the Confederacy in two at the Mississippi River . In 1863 , Robert E. Lee 's Confederate incursion north ended at the Battle of Gettysburg . Western successes led to Ulysses S. Grant 's command of all Union armies in 1864 . Inflicting an ever - tightening naval blockade of Confederate ports , the Union marshaled the resources and manpower to attack the Confederacy from all directions , leading to the fall of Atlanta to William T. Sherman and his march to the sea . The last significant battles raged around the Siege of Petersburg. Lee 's escape attempt ended with his surrender at Appomattox Court House , on April 9 , 1865 . While the military war was coming to an end , the political reintegration of the nation was to take another 12 years , known as the Reconstruction Era . Confederate flag , the `` Stars and Bars '' . The American Civil War was one of the earliest true industrial wars . Railroads , the telegraph , steamships and iron - clad ships , and mass - produced weapons were employed extensively . The mobilization of civilian factories , mines , shipyards , banks , transportation and food supplies all foreshadowed the impact of industrialization in World War I , World War II and subsequent conflicts . It remains the deadliest war in American history . From 1861 to 1865 , it is estimated that 620,000 to 750,000 soldiers died , along with an undetermined number of civilians . By one estimate , the war claimed the lives of 10 percent of all Northern males 20 -- 45 years old , and 30 percent of all Southern white males aged 18 -- 40 . Causes of secession Main articles : Origins of the American Civil War and Timeline of events leading to the American Civil War The causes of secession were complex and have been controversial since the war began , but most academic scholars identify slavery as a central cause of the war . James C. Bradford wrote that the issue has been further complicated by historical revisionists , who have tried to offer a variety of reasons for the war . Slavery was the central source of escalating political tension in the 1850s . The Republican Party was determined to prevent any spread of slavery , and many Southern leaders had threatened secession if the Republican candidate , Lincoln , won the 1860 election . After Lincoln won , many Southern leaders felt that disunion was their only option , fearing that the loss of representation would hamper their ability to promote pro-slavery acts and policies . Slavery Status of the states , 1861 States that seceded before April 15 , 1861 States that seceded after April 15 , 1861 Union states that permitted slavery Union states that banned slavery Territories Slavery was a major cause of disunion . Although there were opposing views even in the Union States , most northern soldiers were largely indifferent on the subject of slavery , while Confederates fought the war largely to protect a southern society of which slavery was an integral part . From the anti-slavery perspective , the issue was primarily about whether the system of slavery was an anachronistic evil that was incompatible with republicanism . The strategy of the anti-slavery forces was containment -- to stop the expansion and thus put slavery on a path to gradual extinction . The slave - holding interests in the South denounced this strategy as infringing upon their Constitutional rights . Southern whites believed that the emancipation of slaves would destroy the South 's economy , due to the large amount of capital invested in slaves and fears of integrating the ex-slave black population . In particular , southerners feared a repeat of `` the horrors of Santo Domingo '' , in which nearly all white people -- including men , women , children , and even many sympathetic to abolition -- were killed after the successful slave revolt in Haiti . Historian Thomas Fleming points to the historical phrase `` a disease in the public mind '' used by critics of this idea , and proposes it contributed to the segregation in the Jim Crow era following emancipation . These fears were exacerbated by the recent attempts of John Brown to instigate an armed slave rebellion in the South . Slavery was illegal in much of the North , having been outlawed in the late 18th and early 19th centuries . It was also fading in the border states and in Southern cities , but it was expanding in the highly profitable cotton districts of the rural South and Southwest . Subsequent writers on the American Civil War looked to several factors explaining the geographic divide . Territorial Crisis Further information : Slave and free states Between 1803 and 1854 , the United States achieved a vast expansion of territory through purchase , negotiation , and conquest . At first , the new states carved out of these territories entering the union were apportioned equally between slave and free states . It was over territories west of the Mississippi that the proslavery and antislavery forces collided . With the conquest of northern Mexico west to California in 1848 , slaveholding interests looked forward to expanding into these lands and perhaps Cuba and Central America as well . Northern `` free soil '' interests vigorously sought to curtail any further expansion of slave territory . The Compromise of 1850 over California balanced a free - soil state with stronger fugitive slave laws for a political settlement after four years of strife in the 1840s . But the states admitted following California were all free : Minnesota ( 1858 ) , Oregon ( 1859 ) and Kansas ( 1861 ) . In the southern states the question of the territorial expansion of slavery westward again became explosive . Both the South and the North drew the same conclusion : `` The power to decide the question of slavery for the territories was the power to determine the future of slavery itself . '' Sen. Stephen Douglas , author of the Kansas -- Nebraska Act of 1854 Sen. John J. Crittenden , of the 1860 Crittenden Compromise By 1860 , four doctrines had emerged to answer the question of federal control in the territories , and they all claimed they were sanctioned by the Constitution , implicitly or explicitly . The first of these `` conservative '' theories , represented by the Constitutional Union Party , argued that the Missouri Compromise apportionment of territory north for free soil and south for slavery should become a Constitutional mandate . The Crittenden Compromise of 1860 was an expression of this view . The second doctrine of Congressional preeminence , championed by Abraham Lincoln and the Republican Party , insisted that the Constitution did not bind legislators to a policy of balance -- that slavery could be excluded in a territory as it was done in the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 at the discretion of Congress , thus Congress could restrict human bondage , but never establish it . The Wilmot Proviso announced this position in 1846 . Senator Stephen A. Douglas proclaimed the doctrine of territorial or `` popular '' sovereignty -- which asserted that the settlers in a territory had the same rights as states in the Union to establish or disestablish slavery as a purely local matter . The Kansas -- Nebraska Act of 1854 legislated this doctrine . In Kansas Territory , years of pro and anti-slavery violence and political conflict erupted ; the congressional House of Representatives voted to admit Kansas as a free state in early 1860 , but its admission in the Senate was delayed until January 1861 , after the 1860 elections when southern senators began to leave . The fourth theory was advocated by Mississippi Senator Jefferson Davis , one of state sovereignty ( `` states ' rights '' ) , also known as the `` Calhoun doctrine '' , named after the South Carolinian political theorist and statesman John C. Calhoun . Rejecting the arguments for federal authority or self - government , state sovereignty would empower states to promote the expansion of slavery as part of the federal union under the U.S. Constitution . `` States ' rights '' was an ideology formulated and applied as a means of advancing slave state interests through federal authority . As historian Thomas L. Krannawitter points out , the `` Southern demand for federal slave protection represented a demand for an unprecedented expansion of federal power . '' These four doctrines comprised the major ideologies presented to the American public on the matters of slavery , the territories and the U.S. Constitution prior to the 1860 presidential election . States ' rights The South argued that each state had the right to secede -- leave the Union -- at any time , that the Constitution was a `` compact '' or agreement among the states . Northerners ( including President Buchanan ) rejected that notion as opposed to the will of the Founding Fathers who said they were setting up a perpetual union . Historian James McPherson writes concerning states ' rights and other non-slavery explanations : While one or more of these interpretations remain popular among the Sons of Confederate Veterans and other Southern heritage groups , few professional historians now subscribe to them . Of all these interpretations , the states ' - rights argument is perhaps the weakest . It fails to ask the question , states ' rights for what purpose ? States ' rights , or sovereignty , was always more a means than an end , an instrument to achieve a certain goal more than a principle . Sectionalism Sectionalism resulted from the different economies , social structure , customs and political values of the North and South . Regional tensions came to a head during the War of 1812 , resulting in the Hartford Convention which manifested Northern dissastisfaction with a foreign trade embargo that affected the industrial North disproportionately , the Three - Fifths Compromise , dilution of Northern power by new states , and a succession of Southern Presidents . Sectionalism increased steadily between 1800 and 1860 as the North , which phased slavery out of existence , industrialized , urbanized , and built prosperous farms , while the deep South concentrated on plantation agriculture based on slave labor , together with subsistence farming for poor freedmen . In the 1840s and 50s , the issue of accepting slavery ( in the guise of rejecting slave - owning bishops and missionaries ) split the nation 's largest religious denominations ( the Methodist , Baptist and Presbyterian churches ) into separate Northern and Southern denominations . Historians have debated whether economic differences between the industrial Northeast and the agricultural South helped cause the war . Most historians now disagree with the economic determinism of historian Charles A. Beard in the 1920s and emphasize that Northern and Southern economies were largely complementary . While socially different , the sections economically benefited each other . Protectionism Slave owners preferred low - cost manual labor with no mechanization . Northern manufacturing interests supported tariffs and protectionism while southern planters demanded free trade , The Democrats in Congress , controlled by Southerners , wrote the tariff laws in the 1830s , 1840s , and 1850s , and kept reducing rates so that the 1857 rates were the lowest since 1816 . The Republicans called for an increase in tariffs in the 1860 election . The increases were only enacted in 1861 after Southerners resigned their seats in Congress . The tariff issue was a Northern grievance . However , neo-Confederate writers have claimed it as a Southern grievance . In 1860 -- 61 none of the groups that proposed compromises to head off secession raised the tariff issue . Pamphleteers North and South rarely mentioned the tariff . Nationalism and honor Nationalism was a powerful force in the early 19th century , with famous spokesmen such as Andrew Jackson and Daniel Webster . While practically all Northerners supported the Union , Southerners were split between those loyal to the entire United States ( called `` unionists '' ) and those loyal primarily to the southern region and then the Confederacy . C. Vann Woodward said of the latter group , A great slave society ... had grown up and miraculously flourished in the heart of a thoroughly bourgeois and partly puritanical republic . It had renounced its bourgeois origins and elaborated and painfully rationalized its institutional , legal , metaphysical , and religious defenses ... When the crisis came it chose to fight . It proved to be the death struggle of a society , which went down in ruins . Perceived insults to Southern collective honor included the enormous popularity of Uncle Tom 's Cabin ( 1852 ) and the actions of abolitionist John Brown in trying to incite a slave rebellion in 1859 . While the South moved towards a Southern nationalism , leaders in the North were also becoming more nationally minded , and they rejected any notion of splitting the Union . The Republican national electoral platform of 1860 warned that Republicans regarded disunion as treason and would not tolerate it : `` We denounce those threats of disunion ... as denying the vital principles of a free government , and as an avowal of contemplated treason , which it is the imperative duty of an indignant people sternly to rebuke and forever silence . '' The South ignored the warnings : Southerners did not realize how ardently the North would fight to hold the Union together . Lincoln 's election Main article : United States presidential election , 1860 Abraham Lincoln in 1864 The election of Abraham Lincoln in November 1860 was the final trigger for secession . Efforts at compromise , including the `` Corwin Amendment '' and the `` Crittenden Compromise '' , failed . Southern leaders feared that Lincoln would stop the expansion of slavery and put it on a course toward extinction . The slave states , which had already become a minority in the House of Representatives , were now facing a future as a perpetual minority in the Senate and Electoral College against an increasingly powerful North . Before Lincoln took office in March 1861 , seven slave states had declared their secession and joined to form the Confederacy . According to Lincoln , the people had shown that they can be successful in establishing and administering a republic , but a third challenge faced the nation , maintaining a republic based on the people 's vote against an attempt to overthrow it . Outbreak of the War Secession Crisis The election of Lincoln caused the legislature of South Carolina to call a state convention to consider secession . Prior to the war , South Carolina did more than any other Southern state to advance the notion that a state had the right to nullify federal laws , and even to secede from the United States . The convention summoned unanimously voted to secede on December 20 , 1860 , and adopted the `` Declaration of the Immediate Causes Which Induce and Justify the Secession of South Carolina from the Federal Union '' . It argued for states ' rights for slave owners in the South , but contained a complaint about states ' rights in the North in the form of opposition to the Fugitive Slave Act , claiming that Northern states were not fulfilling their federal obligations under the Constitution . The `` cotton states '' of Mississippi , Florida , Alabama , Georgia , Louisiana , and Texas followed suit , seceding in January and February 1861 . The first published imprint of secession , a broadside issued by the Charleston Mercury , December 20 , 1860 Among the ordinances of secession passed by the individual states , those of three -- Texas , Alabama , and Virginia -- specifically mentioned the plight of the `` slaveholding states '' at the hands of northern abolitionists . The rest make no mention of the slavery issue , and are often brief announcements of the dissolution of ties by the legislatures . However , at least four states -- South Carolina , Mississippi , Georgia , and Texas -- also passed lengthy and detailed explanations of their causes for secession , all of which laid the blame squarely on the movement to abolish slavery and that movement 's influence over the politics of the northern states . The southern states believed slaveholding was a constitutional right because of the Fugitive slave clause of the Constitution . These states agreed to form a new federal government , the Confederate States of America , on February 4 , 1861 . They took control of federal forts and other properties within their boundaries with little resistance from outgoing President James Buchanan , whose term ended on March 4 , 1861 . Buchanan said that the Dred Scott decision was proof that the South had no reason for secession , and that the Union `` was intended to be perpetual '' , but that `` The power by force of arms to compel a State to remain in the Union '' was not among the `` enumerated powers granted to Congress '' . One quarter of the U.S. Army -- the entire garrison in Texas -- was surrendered in February 1861 to state forces by its commanding general , David E. Twiggs , who then joined the Confederacy . As Southerners resigned their seats in the Senate and the House , Republicans were able to pass bills for projects that had been blocked by Southern Senators before the war , including the Morrill Tariff , land grant colleges ( the Morrill Act ) , a Homestead Act , a transcontinental railroad ( the Pacific Railway Acts ) , the National Banking Act and the authorization of United States Notes by the Legal Tender Act of 1862 . The Revenue Act of 1861 introduced the income tax to help finance the war . On December 18 , 1860 , the Crittenden Compromise was proposed to re-establish the Missouri Compromise line by constitutionally banning slavery in territories to the north of the line while guaranteeing it to the south . The adoption of this compromise likely would have prevented the secession of every southern state apart from South Carolina , but Lincoln and the Republicans rejected it . It was then proposed to hold a national referendum on the compromise . The Republicans again rejected the idea , although a majority of both Northerners and Southerners would have voted in favor of it . A pre-war February Peace Conference of 1861 met in Washington , proposing a solution similar to that of the Crittenden compromise , it was rejected by Congress . The Republicans proposed an alternative compromise to not interfere with slavery where it existed but the South regarded it as insufficient . Nonetheless , the remaining eight slave states rejected pleas to join the Confederacy following a two - to - one no - vote in Virginia 's First Secessionist Convention on April 4 , 1861 . Jefferson Davis , President of the Confederate States of America ( 1861 -- 1865 ) On March 4 , 1861 , Abraham Lincoln was sworn in as President . In his inaugural address , he argued that the Constitution was a more perfect union than the earlier Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union , that it was a binding contract , and called any secession `` legally void '' . He had no intent to invade Southern states , nor did he intend to end slavery where it existed , but said that he would use force to maintain possession of Federal property . The government would make no move to recover post offices , and if resisted , mail delivery would end at state lines . Where popular conditions did not allow peaceful enforcement of Federal law , U.S. marshals and judges would be withdrawn . No mention was made of bullion lost from U.S. mints in Louisiana , Georgia , and North Carolina . He stated that it would be U.S. policy to only collect import duties at its ports ; there could be no serious injury to the South to justify armed revolution during his administration . His speech closed with a plea for restoration of the bonds of union , famously calling on `` the mystic chords of memory '' binding the two regions . The South sent delegations to Washington and offered to pay for the federal properties and enter into a peace treaty with the United States . Lincoln rejected any negotiations with Confederate agents because he claimed the Confederacy was not a legitimate government , and that making any treaty with it would be tantamount to recognition of it as a sovereign government . Secretary of State William Seward , who at the time saw himself as the real governor or `` prime minister '' behind the throne of the inexperienced Lincoln , engaged in unauthorized and indirect negotiations that failed . President Lincoln was determined to hold all remaining Union - occupied forts in the Confederacy , Fort Monroe in Virginia , in Florida , Fort Pickens , Fort Jefferson , Fort Taylor and Fort Sumter , located at the cockpit of secession in Charleston , South Carolina . Battle of Fort Sumter Main article : Battle of Fort Sumter The Confederate `` Stars and Bars '' flying from Fort Sumter Fort Sumter was located in the middle of the harbor of Charleston , South Carolina . Its garrison recently moved there to avoid incidents with local militias in the streets of the city . Lincoln told Maj . Anderson to hold on until fired upon . Jefferson Davis ordered the surrender of the fort . Anderson gave a conditional reply that the Confederate government rejected , and Davis ordered General P.G.T. Beauregard to attack the fort before a relief expedition could arrive . He bombarded Fort Sumter on April 12 -- 13 , forcing its capitulation . The attack on Fort Sumter rallied the North to the defense of American nationalism . Historian Allan Nevins said : The thunderclap of Sumter produced a startling crystallization of Northern sentiment ... Anger swept the land . From every side came news of mass meetings , speeches , resolutions , tenders of business support , the muster of companies and regiments , the determined action of governors and legislatures . '' Mass meeting in New York City April 20 , 1861 , to support the Union . Union leaders incorrectly assumed that only a minority of Southerners were in favor of secession and that there were large numbers of southern Unionists that could be counted on . Had Northerners realized that most Southerners really did favor secession , they might have hesitated at attempting the enormous task of conquering a united South . Lincoln called on all the states to send forces to recapture the fort and other federal properties . With the scale of the rebellion apparently small so far , Lincoln called for only 75,000 volunteers for 90 days . The governor of Massachusetts had state regiments on trains headed south the next day . In western Missouri , local secessionists seized Liberty Arsenal . On May 3 , 1861 , Lincoln called for an additional 42,000 volunteers for a period of three years . Four states in the middle and upper South had repeatedly rejected Confederate overtures , but now Virginia , Tennessee , Arkansas , and North Carolina refused to send forces against their neighbors , declared their secession , and joined the Confederacy . To reward Virginia , the Confederate capital was moved to Richmond . Attitude of the border states Main article : Border states ( American Civil War ) US Secession map 1863 . The Union vs. the Confederacy . Union states Union territories not permitting slavery Border Union states , permitting slavery ( One of these states , West Virginia was created in 1863 ) Confederate states Union territories that permitted slavery ( claimed by Confederacy ) at the start of the war , but where slavery was outlawed in 1862 Maryland , Delaware , Missouri , and Kentucky were slave states that were opposed to both secession and coercing the South . West Virginia then joined them as an additional border state after it separated from Virginia and became a state of the Union in 1863 . Maryland 's territory surrounded the United States ' capital of Washington , DC and could cut it off from the North . It had numerous anti-Lincoln officials who tolerated anti-army rioting in Baltimore and the burning of bridges , both aimed at hindering the passage of troops to the South . Maryland 's legislature voted overwhelmingly ( 53 -- 13 ) to stay in the Union , but also rejected hostilities with its southern neighbors , voting to close Maryland 's rail lines to prevent them from being used for war . Lincoln responded by establishing martial law and unilaterally suspending habeas corpus in Maryland , along with sending in militia units from the North . Lincoln rapidly took control of Maryland and the District of Columbia by seizing many prominent figures , including arresting 1 / 3 of the members of the Maryland General Assembly on the day it reconvened . All were held without trial , ignoring a ruling by the Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court Roger Taney , a Maryland native , that only Congress ( and not the president ) could suspend habeas corpus ( Ex parte Merryman ) . Indeed , federal troops imprisoned a prominent Baltimore newspaper editor , Frank Key Howard , Francis Scott Key 's grandson , after he criticized Lincoln in an editorial for ignoring the Supreme Court Chief Justice 's ruling . In Missouri , an elected convention on secession voted decisively to remain within the Union . When pro-Confederate Governor Claiborne F. Jackson called out the state militia , it was attacked by federal forces under General Nathaniel Lyon , who chased the governor and the rest of the State Guard to the southwestern corner of the state ( see also : Missouri secession ) . In the resulting vacuum , the convention on secession reconvened and took power as the Unionist provisional government of Missouri . Kentucky did not secede ; for a time , it declared itself neutral . When Confederate forces entered the state in September 1861 , neutrality ended and the state reaffirmed its Union status , while trying to maintain slavery . During a brief invasion by Confederate forces , Confederate sympathizers organized a secession convention , inaugurated a governor , and gained recognition from the Confederacy . The rebel government soon went into exile and never controlled Kentucky . After Virginia 's secession , a Unionist government in Wheeling asked 48 counties to vote on an ordinance to create a new state on October 24 , 1861 . A voter turnout of 34 percent approved the statehood bill ( 96 percent approving ) . The inclusion of 24 secessionist counties in the state and the ensuing guerrilla war engaged about 40,000 Federal troops for much of the war . Congress admitted West Virginia to the Union on June 20 , 1863 . West Virginia provided about 20,000 -- 22,000 soldiers to both the Confederacy and the Union . A Unionist secession attempt occurred in East Tennessee , but was suppressed by the Confederacy , which arrested over 3,000 men suspected of being loyal to the Union . They were held without trial . General features of the War See also : List of American Civil War battles and Military leadership in the American Civil War The Civil War was a contest marked by the ferocity and frequency of battle . Over four years , 237 named battles were fought , as were many more minor actions and skirmishes , which were often characterized by their bitter intensity and high casualties . In his book The American Civil War , John Keegan writes that `` The American Civil War was to prove one of the most ferocious wars ever fought '' . Without geographic objectives , the only target for each side was the enemy 's soldier . Mobilization See also : Child soldiers in the American Civil War As the first seven states began organizing a Confederacy in Montgomery , the entire U.S. army numbered 16,000 . However , Northern governors had begun to mobilize their militias . The Confederate Congress authorized the new nation up to 100,000 troops sent by governors as early as February . By May , Jefferson Davis was pushing for 100,000 men under arms for one year or the duration , and that was answered in kind by the U.S. Congress . In the first year of the war , both sides had far more volunteers than they could effectively train and equip . After the initial enthusiasm faded , reliance on the cohort of young men who came of age every year and wanted to join was not enough . Both sides used a draft law -- conscription -- as a device to encourage or force volunteering ; relatively few were actually drafted and served . The Confederacy passed a draft law in April 1862 for young men aged 18 to 35 ; overseers of slaves , government officials , and clergymen were exempt . The U.S. Congress followed in July , authorizing a militia draft within a state when it could not meet its quota with volunteers . European immigrants joined the Union Army in large numbers , including 177,000 born in Germany and 144,000 born in Ireland . When the Emancipation Proclamation went into effect in January 1863 , ex-slaves were energetically recruited by the states , and used to meet the state quotas . States and local communities offered higher and higher cash bonuses for white volunteers . Congress tightened the law in March 1863 . Men selected in the draft could provide substitutes or , until mid-1864 , pay commutation money . Many eligibles pooled their money to cover the cost of anyone drafted . Families used the substitute provision to select which man should go into the army and which should stay home . There was much evasion and overt resistance to the draft , especially in Catholic areas . The great draft riot in New York City in July 1863 involved Irish immigrants who had been signed up as citizens to swell the vote of the city 's Democratic political machine , not realizing it made them liable for the draft . Of the 168,649 men procured for the Union through the draft , 117,986 were substitutes , leaving only 50,663 who had their personal services conscripted . Rioters attacking a building during the New York anti-draft riots of 1863 In both the North and South , the draft laws were highly unpopular . In the North , some 120,000 men evaded conscription , many of them fleeing to Canada , and another 280,000 soldiers deserted during the war . At least 100,000 Southerners deserted , or about 10 percent . In the South , many men deserted temporarily to take care of their distressed families , then returned to their units . In the North , `` bounty jumpers '' enlisted to get the generous bonus , deserted , then went back to a second recruiting station under a different name to sign up again for a second bonus ; 141 were caught and executed . From a tiny frontier force in 1860 , the Union and Confederate armies had grown into the `` largest and most efficient armies in the world '' within a few years . European observers at the time dismissed them as amateur and unprofessional , but British historian John Keegan 's assessment is that each outmatched the French , Prussian and Russian armies of the time , and but for the Atlantic , would have threatened any of them with defeat . Motivation Perman and Taylor ( 2010 ) write that historians are of two minds on why millions of men seemed so eager to fight , suffer and die over four years : Some historians emphasize that Civil War soldiers were driven by political ideology , holding firm beliefs about the importance of liberty , Union , or state rights , or about the need to protect or to destroy slavery . Others point to less overtly political reasons to fight , such as the defense of one 's home and family , or the honor and brotherhood to be preserved when fighting alongside other men . Most historians agree that no matter what a soldier thought about when he went into the war , the experience of combat affected him profoundly and sometimes altered his reasons for continuing the fight . Prisoners Main article : American Civil War prison camps At the start of the civil war , a system of paroles operated . Captives agreed not to fight until they were officially exchanged . Meanwhile , they were held in camps run by their own army where they were paid but not allowed to perform any military duties . The system of exchanges collapsed in 1863 when the Confederacy refused to exchange black prisoners . After that , about 56,000 of the 409,000 POWs died in prisons during the war , accounting for nearly 10 percent of the conflict 's fatalities . Naval tactics The small U.S. Navy of 1861 was rapidly enlarged to 6,000 officers and 45,000 men in 1865 , with 671 vessels , having a tonnage of 510,396 . Its mission was to blockade Confederate ports , take control of the river system , defend against Confederate raiders on the high seas , and be ready for a possible war with the British Royal Navy . Meanwhile , the main riverine war was fought in the West , where a series of major rivers gave access to the Confederate heartland . The U.S. Navy eventually gained control of the Red , Tennessee , Cumberland , Mississippi , and Ohio rivers . In the East , the Navy supplied and moved army forces about , and occasionally shelled Confederate installations . Modern Navy evolves Clashes on the rivers were melees of ironclads , cottonclads , gunboats and rams , complicated by torpedoes and fire rafts . The Civil War occurred during the early stages of the industrial revolution . Many naval innovations emerged during this time , most notably the advent of the ironclad warship . It began when the Confederacy , knowing they had to meet or match the Union 's naval superiority , responded to the Union blockade by building or converting more than 130 vessels , including twenty - six ironclads and floating batteries . Only half of these saw active service . Many were equipped with ram bows , creating `` ram fever '' among Union squadrons wherever they threatened . But in the face of overwhelming Union superiority and the Union 's own ironclad warships , they were unsuccessful . Battle between the Monitor and Merrimack . In addition to ocean - going warships coming up the Mississippi , the Union Navy used timberclads , tinclads , and armored gunboats . Shipyards at Cairo , Illinois , and St. Louis built new boats or modified steamboats for action . The Confederacy experimented with the submarine CSS Hunley , which did not work well , and with building an ironclad ship , CSS Virginia , which was based on rebuilding a sunken Union ship , Merrimack . On its first foray on March 8 , 1862 , Virginia inflicted significant damage to the Union 's wooden fleet , but the next day the first Union ironclad , USS Monitor , arrived to challenge it in the Chesapeake Bay . The resulting three hour Battle of Hampton Roads was a draw , but it proved that ironclads were effective warships . Not long after the battle the Confederacy was forced to scuttle the Virginia to prevent its capture , while the Union built many copies of the Monitor . Lacking the technology and infrastructure to build effective warships , the Confederacy attempted to obtain warships from Britain . Union blockade Main article : Union blockade General Scott 's `` Anaconda Plan '' 1861 . Tightening naval blockade , forcing rebels out of Missouri along the Mississippi River , Kentucky Unionists sit on the fence , idled cotton industry illustrated in Georgia . By early 1861 , General Winfield Scott had devised the Anaconda Plan to win the war with as little bloodshed as possible . Scott argued that a Union blockade of the main ports would weaken the Confederate economy . Lincoln adopted parts of the plan , but he overruled Scott 's caution about 90 - day volunteers . Public opinion , however , demanded an immediate attack by the army to capture Richmond . In April 1861 , Lincoln announced the Union blockade of all Southern ports ; commercial ships could not get insurance and regular traffic ended . The South blundered in embargoing cotton exports in 1861 before the blockade was effective ; by the time they realized the mistake , it was too late . `` King Cotton '' was dead , as the South could export less than 10 percent of its cotton . The blockade shut down the ten Confederate seaports with railheads that moved almost all the cotton , especially New Orleans , Mobile , and Charleston . By June 1861 , warships were stationed off the principal Southern ports , and a year later nearly 300 ships were in service . Blockade runners Main article : Blockade runners of the American Civil War Gunline of nine Union ironclads . South Atlantic Blockading Squadron off Charleston . Continuous blockade of all major ports was sustained by North 's ov erwhelming war production . British investors built small , fast , steam - driven blockade runners that traded arms and luxuries brought in from Britain through Bermuda , Cuba , and the Bahamas in return for high - priced cotton . Many of the ships were designed for speed and were so small that only a small amount of cotton went out . When the Union Navy seized a blockade runner , the ship and cargo were condemned as a Prize of war and sold , with the proceeds given to the Navy sailors ; the captured crewmen were mostly British and they were simply released . Economic impact The Southern economy nearly collapsed during the war . There were multiple reasons for this : the severe deterioration of food supplies , especially in cities , the failure of Southern railroads , the loss of control of the main rivers , foraging by Northern armies , and the seizure of animals and crops by Confederate armies . Most historians agree that the blockade was a major factor in ruining the Confederate economy ; however , Wise argues that the blockade runners provided just enough of a lifeline to allow Lee to continue fighting for additional months , thanks to fresh supplies of 400,000 rifles , lead , blankets , and boots that the homefront economy could no longer supply . Surdam argues that the blockade was a powerful weapon that eventually ruined the Southern economy , at the cost of few lives in combat . Practically , the entire Confederate cotton crop was useless ( although it was sold to Union traders ) , costing the Confederacy its main source of income . Critical imports were scarce and the coastal trade was largely ended as well . The measure of the blockade 's success was not the few ships that slipped through , but the thousands that never tried it . Merchant ships owned in Europe could not get insurance and were too slow to evade the blockade ; they simply stopped calling at Confederate ports . To fight an offensive war , the Confederacy purchased ships from Britain , converted them to warships , and raided American merchant ships in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans . Insurance rates skyrocketed and the American flag virtually disappeared from international waters . However , the same ships were reflagged with European flags and continued unmolested . After the war , the U.S. demanded that Britain pay for the damage done , and Britain paid the U.S. $15 million in 1871 . Diplomacy Main article : Diplomacy of the American Civil War Although the Confederacy hoped that Britain and France would join them against the Union , this was never likely , and so they instead tried to bring Britain and France in as mediators . The Union , under Lincoln and Secretary of State William H. Seward worked to block this , and threatened war if any country officially recognized the existence of the Confederate States of America . In 1861 , Southerners voluntarily embargoed cotton shipments , hoping to start an economic depression in Europe that would force Britain to enter the war to get cotton , but this did not work . Worse , Europe developed other cotton suppliers , which they found superior , hindering the South 's recovery after the war . Crewmembers of USS Wissahickon by the ship 's 11 - inch ( 280 mm ) Dahlgren gun , circa 1863 Cotton diplomacy proved a failure as Europe had a surplus of cotton , while the 1860 -- 62 crop failures in Europe made the North 's grain exports of critical importance . It also helped to turn European opinion further away from the Confederacy . It was said that `` King Corn was more powerful than King Cotton '' , as U.S. grain went from a quarter of the British import trade to almost half . When Britain did face a cotton shortage , it was temporary , being replaced by increased cultivation in Egypt and India . Meanwhile , the war created employment for arms makers , ironworkers , and British ships to transport weapons . Lincoln 's foreign policy was deficient in 1861 in terms of appealing to European public opinion . Diplomats had to explain that United States was not committed to the ending of slavery , but instead they repeated legalistic arguments about the unconstitutionality of secession . Confederate spokesmen , on the other hand , were much more successful by ignoring slavery and instead focusing on their struggle for liberty , their commitment to free trade , and the essential role of cotton in the European economy . In addition , the European aristocracy ( the dominant factor in every major country ) was `` absolutely gleeful in pronouncing the American debacle as proof that the entire experiment in popular government had failed . European government leaders welcomed the fragmentation of the ascendant American Republic . '' U.S. minister to Britain Charles Francis Adams proved particularly adept and convinced Britain not to boldly challenge the blockade . The Confederacy purchased several warships from commercial shipbuilders in Britain ( CSS Alabama , CSS Shenandoah , CSS Tennessee , CSS Tallahassee , CSS Florida , and some others ) . The most famous , the CSS Alabama , did considerable damage and led to serious postwar disputes . However , public opinion against slavery created a political liability for politicians in Britain , where the antislavery movement was powerful . War loomed in late 1861 between the U.S. and Britain over the Trent affair , involving the U.S. Navy 's boarding of the British ship Trent and seizure of two Confederate diplomats . However , London and Washington were able to smooth over the problem after Lincoln released the two . In 1862 , the British considered mediation between North and South , though even such an offer would have risked war with the U.S. British Prime Minister Lord Palmerston reportedly read Uncle Tom 's Cabin three times when deciding on this . The Union victory in the Battle of Antietam caused them to delay this decision . The Emancipation Proclamation over time would reinforce the political liability of supporting the Confederacy . Despite sympathy for the Confederacy , France 's own seizure of Mexico ultimately deterred them from war with the Union . Confederate offers late in the war to end slavery in return for diplomatic recognition were not seriously considered by London or Paris . After 1863 , the Polish revolt against Russia further distracted the European powers , and ensured that they would remain neutral . Eastern theater County map of Civil War battles by theater and year Further information : Eastern Theater of the American Civil War The Eastern theater refers to the military operations east of the Appalachian Mountains , including the states of Virginia , West Virginia , Maryland , and Pennsylvania , the District of Columbia , and the coastal fortifications and seaports of North Carolina . Background Army of the Potomac Maj. Gen. George B. McClellan took command of the Union Army of the Potomac on July 26 ( he was briefly general - in - chief of all the Union armies , but was subsequently relieved of that post in favor of Maj. Gen. Henry W. Halleck ) , and the war began in earnest in 1862 . The 1862 Union strategy called for simultaneous advances along four axes : McClellan would lead the main thrust in Virginia towards Richmond . Ohio forces would advance through Kentucky into Tennessee . The Missouri Department would drive south along the Mississippi River . The westernmost attack would originate from Kansas . Army of Northern Virginia Robert E. Lee The primary Confederate force in the Eastern theater was the Army of Northern Virginia . The Army originated as the ( Confederate ) Army of the Potomac , which was organized on June 20 , 1861 , from all operational forces in northern Virginia . On July 20 and July 21 , the Army of the Shenandoah and forces from the District of Harpers Ferry were added . Units from the Army of the Northwest were merged into the Army of the Potomac between March 14 and May 17 , 1862 . The Army of the Potomac was renamed Army of Northern Virginia on March 14 . The Army of the Peninsula was merged into it on April 12 , 1862 . Flag of Army of Northern Virginia When Virginia declared its secession in April 1861 , Robert E. Lee chose to follow his home state , despite his desire for the country to remain intact and an offer of a senior Union command . Lee 's biographer , Douglas S. Freeman , asserts that the army received its final name from Lee when he issued orders assuming command on June 1 , 1862 . However , Freeman does admit that Lee corresponded with Brigadier General Joseph E. Johnston , his predecessor in army command , prior to that date and referred to Johnston 's command as the Army of Northern Virginia . Part of the confusion results from the fact that Johnston commanded the Department of Northern Virginia ( as of October 22 , 1861 ) and the name Army of Northern Virginia can be seen as an informal consequence of its parent department 's name . Jefferson Davis and Johnston did not adopt the name , but it is clear that the organization of units as of March 14 was the same organization that Lee received on June 1 , and thus it is generally referred to today as the Army of Northern Virginia , even if that is correct only in retrospect . Jeb Stuart commanded the Army of Northern Virginia 's cavalry . Battles First Bull Run `` Stonewall '' Jackson got his nickname at the First Battle of Bull Run . In one of the first highly visible battles , in July 1861 , a march by Union troops under the command of Maj. Gen. Irvin McDowell on the Confederate forces led by Gen. P.G.T. Beauregard near Washington was repulsed at the First Battle of Bull Run . George McClellan The Union had the upper hand at first , but Confederate reinforcements under . Joseph E. Johnston arrived from the Shenandoah Valley by railroad , and the course of the battle quickly changed . A brigade of Virginians under the relatively unknown brigadier general from the Virginia Military Institute , Thomas J. Jackson , stood its ground , which resulted in Jackson receiving his famous nickname , `` Stonewall '' . Ball 's Bluff At the Battle of Ball 's Bluff , McClellan suffered a defeat , and Lincoln 's close friend Edward Dickinson Baker was killed . McClellan 's Peninsula Campaign ; Jackson 's Valley Campaign Upon the strong urging of President Lincoln to begin offensive operations , McClellan attacked Virginia in the spring of 1862 by way of the peninsula between the York River and James River , southeast of Richmond . McClellan 's army reached the gates of Richmond in the Peninsula Campaign , Union forces performing a bayonet charge , 1862 Also in the spring of 1862 , in the Shenandoah Valley , Stonewall Jackson led his Valley Campaign . Employing audacity and rapid , unpredictable movements on interior lines , Jackson 's 17,000 men marched 646 miles ( 1,040 km ) in 48 days and won several minor battles as they successfully engaged three Union armies ( 52,000 men ) , including those of Nathaniel P. Banks and John C. Fremont , preventing them from reinforcing the Union offensive against Richmond . The swiftness of Jackson 's men earned them the nickname of `` foot - cavalry '' . Johnston halted McClellan 's advance at the Battle of Seven Pines , but he was wounded in the battle , and Robert E. Lee assumed his position of command . General Lee and top subordinates James Longstreet and Stonewall Jackson defeated McClellan in the Seven Days Battles and forced his retreat . Second Bull Run The Northern Virginia Campaign , which included the Second Battle of Bull Run , ended in yet another victory for the South . McClellan resisted General - in - Chief Halleck 's orders to send reinforcements to John Pope 's Union Army of Virginia , which made it easier for Lee 's Confederates to defeat twice the number of combined enemy troops . Antietam The Battle of Antietam , the Civil War 's deadliest one - day fight . Emboldened by Second Bull Run , the Confederacy made its first invasion of the North with the Maryland Campaign . General Lee led 45,000 men of the Army of Northern Virginia across the Potomac River into Maryland on September 5 . Lincoln then restored Pope 's troops to McClellan . McClellan and Lee fought at the Battle of Antietam near Sharpsburg , Maryland , on September 17 , 1862 , the bloodiest single day in United States military history . Lee 's army , checked at last , returned to Virginia before McClellan could destroy it . Antietam is considered a Union victory because it halted Lee 's invasion of the North and provided an opportunity for Lincoln to announce his Emancipation Proclamation . First Fredericksburg When the cautious McClellan failed to follow up on Antietam , he was replaced by Maj. Gen. Ambrose Burnside . Burnside was soon defeated at the Battle of Fredericksburg on December 13 , 1862 , when more than 12,000 Union soldiers were killed or wounded during repeated futile frontal assaults against Marye 's Heights . After the battle , Burnside was replaced by Maj. Gen. Joseph Hooker . Chancellorsville Confederate dead overrun at Marye 's Heights , reoccupied next day May 4 , 1863 Hooker , too , proved unable to defeat Lee 's army ; despite outnumbering the Confederates by more than two to one , his Chancellorsville Campaign proved ineffective and he was humiliated in the Battle of Chancellorsville in May 1863 . Chancellorsville is known as Lee 's `` perfect battle '' because his risky decision to divide his army in the presence of a much larger enemy force resulted in a significant Confederate victory . Gen. Stonewall Jackson was shot in the arm by accidental friendly fire during the battle and subsequently died of complications . Lee famously said `` He has lost his left arm ; but I have lost my right arm . '' The fiercest fighting of the battle -- and the second bloodiest day of the Civil War -- occurred on May 3 as Lee launched multiple attacks against the Union position at Chancellorsville . That same day , John Sedgwick advanced across the Rappahannock River , defeated the small Confederate force at Marye 's Heights in the Second Battle of Fredericksburg , and then moved to the west . The Confederates fought a successful delaying action at the Battle of Salem Church Gettysburg Pickett 's Charge Gen. Hooker was replaced by Maj. Gen. George Meade during Lee 's second invasion of the North , in June . Meade defeated Lee at the Battle of Gettysburg ( July 1 to 3 , 1863 ) . This was the bloodiest battle of the war , and has been called the war 's turning point . Pickett 's Charge on July 3 is often considered the high - water mark of the Confederacy because it signaled the collapse of serious Confederate threats of victory . Lee 's army suffered 28,000 casualties ( versus Meade 's 23,000 ) . However , Lincoln was angry that Meade failed to intercept Lee 's retreat . Western theater Further information : Western Theater of the American Civil War The Western theater refers to military operations between the Appalachian Mountains and the Mississippi River , including the states of Alabama , Georgia , Florida , Mississippi , North Carolina , Kentucky , South Carolina and Tennessee , as well as parts of Louisiana . Background Army of the Tennessee and Army of the Cumberland Ulysses S. Grant The primary Union forces in the Western theater were the Army of the Tennessee and the Army of the Cumberland , named for the two rivers , the Tennessee River and Cumberland River . After Meade 's inconclusive fall campaign , Lincoln turned to the Western Theater for new leadership . At the same time , the Confederate stronghold of Vicksburg surrendered , giving the Union control of the Mississippi River , permanently isolating the western Confederacy , and producing the new leader Lincoln needed , Ulysses S. Grant . Army of Tennessee The primary Confederate force in the Western theater was the Army of Tennessee . The army was formed on November 20 , 1862 , when General Braxton Bragg renamed the former Army of Mississippi . While the Confederate forces had numerous successes in the Eastern Theater , they were defeated many times in the West . Battles Fort Henry and Fort Donelson The Union 's key strategist and tactician in the West was Ulysses S. Grant , who won victories at Forts Henry ( February 6 , 1862 ) and Donelson ( February 11 to 16 , 1862 ) , by which the Union seized control of the Tennessee and Cumberland Rivers . Nathan Bedford Forrest rallied nearly 4,000 troops and led them to escape across the Cumberland . Nashville and central Tennessee thus fell to the Union , leading to attrition of local food supplies and livestock and a breakdown in social organization . Albert Sidney Johnston died at the Battle of Shiloh . Leonidas Polk 's invasion of Columbus ended Kentucky 's policy of neutrality and turned it against the Confederacy . Grant used river transport and Andrew Foote 's gunboats of the Western Flotilla to threaten the Confederacy 's `` Gibraltar of the West '' at Columbus , Kentucky . Although rebuffed at Belmont , Grant cut off Columbus . The Confederates , lacking their own gunboats , were forced to retreat and the Union took control of western Kentucky and opened Tennessee in March 1862 . Shiloh At the Battle of Shiloh ( Pittsburg Landing ) , in Tennessee in April 1862 , the Confederates made a surprise attack that pushed Union forces against the river as night fell . Overnight , the Navy landed additional reinforcements , and Grant counter-attacked . Grant and the Union won a decisive victory -- the first battle with the high casualty rates that would repeat over and over . The Confederates lost Albert Sidney Johnston , considered their finest general before the emergence of Lee . Union Navy captures Memphis One of the early Union objectives in the war was the capture of the Mississippi River , in order to cut the Confederacy in half . `` The key to the river was New Orleans , the South 's largest port ( and ) greatest industrial center . '' The Mississippi was opened to Union traffic to the southern border of Tennessee with the taking of Island No. 10 and New Madrid , Missouri , and then Memphis , Tennessee . By 1863 the Union controlled large portions of the Western Theater , especially areas surrounding the Mississippi river In April 1862 , the Union Navy captured New Orleans . U.S. Naval forces under Farragut ran past Confederate defenses south of New Orleans . Confederate forces abandoned the city , giving the Union a critical anchor in the deep South . which allowed Union forces to begin moving up the Mississippi . Memphis fell to Union forces on June 6 , 1862 , and became a key base for further advances south along the Mississippi River . Only the fortress city of Vicksburg , Mississippi , prevented Union control of the entire river . Perryville Bragg 's second Confederate invasion of Kentucky included Kirby Smith 's triumph at the Battle of Richmond and ended with a meaningless victory over Maj. Gen. Don Carlos Buell at the Battle of Perryville . Bragg was forced to end his attempt at invading Kentucky and retreat due to lack of support for the Confederacy in that state . Stones River Bragg was narrowly defeated by Maj. Gen. William Rosecrans at the Battle of Stones River in Tennessee , the culmination of the Stones River Campaign . Vicksburg Naval forces assisted Grant in the long , complex Vicksburg Campaign that resulted in the Confederates surrendering at the Battle of Vicksburg in July 1863 , which cemented Union control of the Mississippi River and is considered one of the turning points of the war . Chickamauga The Battle of Chickamauga , the highest two - day losses . The one clear Confederate victory in the West was the Battle of Chickamauga . After Rosecrans successful Tullahoma Campaign , Bragg , reinforced by Lt. Gen. James Longstreet 's corps ( from Lee 's army in the east ) , defeated Rosecrans , despite the heroic defensive stand of Maj. Gen. George Henry Thomas . Third Chattanooga Rosecrans retreated to Chattanooga , which Bragg then besieged in the Chattanooga Campaign . Grant marched to the relief of Rosecrans and defeated Bragg at the Third Battle of Chattanooga , eventually causing Longstreet to abandon his Knoxville Campaign and driving Confederate forces out of Tennessee and opening a route to Atlanta and the heart of the Confederacy . Trans - Mississippi theater Further information : Trans - Mississippi Theater of the American Civil War Background The Trans - Mississippi theater refers to military operations west of the Mississippi River , not including the areas bordering the Pacific Ocean . Battles Missouri Nathaniel Lyon secured St. Louis docks and arsenal , led Union forces to expel Missouri Confederate forces and government . The first battle of the Trans - Mississippi theater was the Battle of Wilson 's Creek . The Confederates were driven from Missouri early in the war as a result of the Battle of Pea Ridge . Extensive guerrilla warfare characterized the trans - Mississippi region , as the Confederacy lacked the troops and the logistics to support regular armies that could challenge Union control . Roving Confederate bands such as Quantrill 's Raiders terrorized the countryside , striking both military installations and civilian settlements . The `` Sons of Liberty '' and `` Order of the American Knights '' attacked pro-Union people , elected officeholders , and unarmed uniformed soldiers . These partisans could not be entirely driven out of the state of Missouri until an entire regular Union infantry division was engaged . By 1864 , these violent activities harmed the nationwide anti-war movement organizing against the re-election of Lincoln . Missouri not only stayed in the Union , but Lincoln took 70 percent of the vote for re-election . New Mexico Numerous small - scale military actions south and west of Missouri sought to control Indian Territory and New Mexico Territory for the Union . The Battle of Glorieta Pass was the decisive battle of the New Mexico Campaign . The Union repulsed Confederate incursions into New Mexico in 1862 , and the exiled Arizona government withdrew into Texas . In the Indian Territory , civil war broke out within tribes . About 12,000 Indian warriors fought for the Confederacy , and smaller numbers for the Union . The most prominent Cherokee was Brigadier General Stand Watie , the last Confederate general to surrender . Texas After the fall of Vicksburg in July 1863 , General Kirby Smith in Texas was informed by Jefferson Davis that he could expect no further help from east of the Mississippi River . Although he lacked resources to beat Union armies , he built up a formidable arsenal at Tyler , along with his own Kirby Smithdom economy , a virtual `` independent fiefdom '' in Texas , including railroad construction and international smuggling . The Union in turn did not directly engage him . Its 1864 Red River Campaign to take Shreveport , Louisiana was a failure and Texas remained in Confederate hands throughout the war . Lower Seaboard theater Further information : Lower Seaboard Theater of the American Civil War Background The Lower Seaboard theater refers to military and naval operations that occurred near the coastal areas of the Southeast : in Alabama , Florida , Louisiana , Mississippi , South Carolina , and Texas ) as well as southern part of the Mississippi River ( Port Hudson and south ) . Union Naval activities were dictated by the Anaconda Plan . Battles South Carolina One of the earliest battles of the war was fought at Port Royal Sound , south of Charleston . Much of the war along the South Carolina coast concentrated on capturing Charleston . In attempting to capture Charleston , the Union military tried two approaches , by land over James or Morris Islands or through the harbor . However , the Confederates were able to drive back each Union attack . One of the most famous of the land attacks was the Second Battle of Fort Wagner , in which the 54th Massachusetts Infantry took part . The Federals suffered a serious defeat in this battle , losing 1,500 men while the Confederates lost only 175 . Georgia Fort Pulaski on the Georgia coast was an early target for the Union navy . Following the capture of Port Royal , an expedition was organized with engineer troops under the command of Captain Quincy A. Gillmore , forcing a Confederate surrender . The Union army occupied the fort for the rest of the war after making repair . Louisiana New Orleans captured . In April 1862 , a Union naval task force commanded by Commander David D. Porter attacked Forts Jackson and St. Philip , which guarded the river approach to New Orleans from the south . While part of the fleet bombarded the forts , other vessels forced a break in the obstructions in the river and enabled the rest of the fleet to steam upriver to the city . A Union army force commanded by Major General Benjamin Butler landed near the forts and forced their surrender . Butler 's controversial command of New Orleans earned him the nickname `` Beast '' . The following year , the Union Army of the Gulf commanded by Major General Nathaniel P. Banks laid siege to Port Hudson for nearly eight weeks , the longest siege in US military history . The Confederates attempted to defend with the Bayou Teche Campaign , but surrendered after Vicksburg . These two surrenders gave the Union control over the entire Mississippi . Florida Several small skirmishes were fought in Florida , but no major battles . The biggest was the Battle of Olustee in early 1864 . Pacific coast theater Further information : Pacific Coast Theater of the American Civil War The Pacific Coast theater refers to military operations on the Pacific Ocean and in the states and Territories west of the Continental Divide . Conquest of Virginia At the beginning of 1864 , Lincoln made Grant commander of all Union armies . Grant made his headquarters with the Army of the Potomac , and put Maj. Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman in command of most of the western armies . Grant understood the concept of total war and believed , along with Lincoln and Sherman , that only the utter defeat of Confederate forces and their economic base would end the war . This was total war not in killing civilians but rather in taking provisions and forage and destroying homes , farms , and railroads , that Grant said `` would otherwise have gone to the support of secession and rebellion . This policy I believe exercised a material influence in hastening the end . '' Grant devised a coordinated strategy that would strike at the entire Confederacy from multiple directions . Generals George Meade and Benjamin Butler were ordered to move against Lee near Richmond , General Franz Sigel ( and later Philip Sheridan ) were to attack the Shenandoah Valley , General Sherman was to capture Atlanta and march to the sea ( the Atlantic Ocean ) , Generals George Crook and William W. Averell were to operate against railroad supply lines in West Virginia , and Maj. Gen. Nathaniel P. Banks was to capture Mobile , Alabama . Grant 's Overland Campaign These dead soldiers -- from Ewell 's May 1864 attack at Spotsylvania -- delayed Grant 's advance on Richmond in the Overland Campaign . Grant 's army set out on the Overland Campaign with the goal of drawing Lee into a defense of Richmond , where they would attempt to pin down and destroy the Confederate army . The Union army first attempted to maneuver past Lee and fought several battles , notably at the Wilderness , Spotsylvania , and Cold Harbor . These battles resulted in heavy losses on both sides , and forced Lee 's Confederates to fall back repeatedly . At the Battle of Yellow Tavern , the Confederates lost Jeb Stuart . Philip Sheridan An attempt to outflank Lee from the south failed under Butler , who was trapped inside the Bermuda Hundred river bend . Each battle resulted in setbacks for the Union that mirrored what they had suffered under prior generals , though unlike those prior generals , Grant fought on rather than retreat . Grant was tenacious and kept pressing Lee 's Army of Northern Virginia back to Richmond . While Lee was preparing for an attack on Richmond , Grant unexpectedly turned south to cross the James River and began the protracted Siege of Petersburg , where the two armies engaged in trench warfare for over nine months . Sheridan 's Valley Campaign Grant finally found a commander , General Philip Sheridan , aggressive enough to prevail in the Valley Campaigns of 1864 . Sheridan was initially repelled at the Battle of New Market by former U.S. Vice President and Confederate Gen. John C. Breckinridge . The Battle of New Market was the Confederacy 's last major victory of the war , and included a charge by teenage VMI cadets . After redoubling his efforts , Sheridan defeated Maj. Gen. Jubal A. Early in a series of battles , including a final decisive defeat at the Battle of Cedar Creek . Sheridan then proceeded to destroy the agricultural base of the Shenandoah Valley , a strategy similar to the tactics Sherman later employed in Georgia . Sherman 's March to the sea Meanwhile , Sherman maneuvered from Chattanooga to Atlanta , defeating Confederate Generals Joseph E. Johnston and John Bell Hood along the way . The fall of Atlanta on September 2 , 1864 , guaranteed the reelection of Lincoln as president . Hood left the Atlanta area to swing around and menace Sherman 's supply lines and invade Tennessee in the Franklin -- Nashville Campaign . Union Maj. Gen. John Schofield defeated Hood at the Battle of Franklin , and George H. Thomas dealt Hood a massive defeat at the Battle of Nashville , effectively destroying Hood 's army . The Peacemakers by George Peter Alexander Healy portrays Sherman , Grant , Lincoln , and Porter discussing plans for the last weeks of the Civil War aboard the steamer River Queen in March 1865 . Leaving Atlanta , and his base of supplies , Sherman 's army marched with an unknown destination , laying waste to about 20 percent of the farms in Georgia in his `` March to the Sea '' . He reached the Atlantic Ocean at Savannah , Georgia in December 1864 . Sherman 's army was followed by thousands of freed slaves ; there were no major battles along the March . Sherman turned north through South Carolina and North Carolina to approach the Confederate Virginia lines from the south , increasing the pressure on Lee 's army . The Waterloo of the Confederacy Lee 's army , thinned by desertion and casualties , was now much smaller than Grant 's . One last Confederate attempt to break the Union hold on Petersburg failed at the decisive Battle of Five Forks ( sometimes called `` the Waterloo of the Confederacy '' ) on April 1 . This meant that the Union now controlled the entire perimeter surrounding Richmond - Petersburg , completely cutting it off from the Confederacy . Realizing that the capital was now lost , Lee decided to evacuate his army . The Confederate capital fell to the Union XXV Corps , composed of black troops . The remaining Confederate units fled west after a defeat at Sayler 's Creek . Confederacy surrenders Main article : Conclusion of the American Civil War Map of Confederate territory losses year by year Initially , Lee did not intend to surrender , but planned to regroup at the village of Appomattox Court House , where supplies were to be waiting , and then continue the war . Grant chased Lee and got in front of him , so that when Lee 's army reached Appomattox Court House , they were surrounded . After an initial battle , Lee decided that the fight was now hopeless , and surrendered his Army of Northern Virginia on April 9 , 1865 , at the McLean House . In an untraditional gesture and as a sign of Grant 's respect and anticipation of peacefully restoring Confederate states to the Union , Lee was permitted to keep his sword and his horse , Traveller . On April 14 , 1865 , President Lincoln was shot by John Wilkes Booth , a Southern sympathizer . Lincoln died early the next morning , and Andrew Johnson became the president . Meanwhile , Confederate forces across the South surrendered as news of Lee 's surrender reached them . On April 26 , 1865 , General Joseph E. Johnston surrendered nearly 90,000 men of the Army of Tennessee to Major General William T. Sherman at the Bennett Place near present - day Durham , North Carolina . It proved to be the largest surrender of Confederate forces , effectively bringing the war to an end . President Johnson officially declared a virtual end to the insurrection on May 9 , 1865 ; President Jefferson Davis was captured the following day . On June 2 , Kirby Smith officially surrendered his troops in the Trans - Mississippi Department . On June 23 , Cherokee leader Stand Watie became the last Confederate general to surrender his forces . Union victory and aftermath Results The causes of the war , the reasons for its outcome , and even the name of the war itself are subjects of lingering contention today . The North and West grew rich while the once - rich South became poor for a century . The national political power of the slaveowners and rich southerners ended . Historians are less sure about the results of the postwar Reconstruction , especially regarding the second class citizenship of the Freedmen and their poverty . Historians have debated whether the Confederacy could have won the war . Most scholars , including James McPherson , argue that Confederate victory was at least possible . McPherson argues that the North 's advantage in population and resources made Northern victory likely but not guaranteed . He also argues that if the Confederacy had fought using unconventional tactics , they would have more easily been able to hold out long enough to exhaust the Union . Comparison of Union and Confederacy , 1860 -- 1864 Year Union Confederacy Population 1860 22,100,000 ( 71 % ) 9,100,000 ( 29 % ) 1864 28,800,000 ( 90 % ) 3,000,000 ( 10 % ) Free 1860 21,700,000 ( 81 % ) 5,600,000 ( 19 % ) Slave 1860 400,000 ( 11 % ) 3,500,000 ( 89 % ) 1864 negligible 1,900,000 Soldiers 1860 -- 64 2,100,000 ( 67 % ) 1,064,000 ( 33 % ) Railroad miles 1860 21,800 ( 71 % ) 8,800 ( 29 % ) 1864 29,100 ( 98 % ) negligible Manufactures 1860 90 % 10 % 1864 98 % 2 % Arms production 1860 97 % 3 % 1864 98 % 2 % Cotton bales 1860 negligible 4,500,000 1864 300,000 negligible Exports 1860 30 % 70 % 1864 98 % 2 % Confederates did not need to invade and hold enemy territory to win , but only needed to fight a defensive war to convince the North that the cost of winning was too high . The North needed to conquer and hold vast stretches of enemy territory and defeat Confederate armies to win . Lincoln was not a military dictator , and could continue to fight the war only as long as the American public supported a continuation of the war . The Confederacy sought to win independence by out - lasting Lincoln ; however , after Atlanta fell and Lincoln defeated McClellan in the election of 1864 , all hope for a political victory for the South ended . At that point , Lincoln had secured the support of the Republicans , War Democrats , the border states , emancipated slaves , and the neutrality of Britain and France . By defeating the Democrats and McClellan , he also defeated the Copperheads and their peace platform . Many scholars argue that the Union held an insurmountable long - term advantage over the Confederacy in industrial strength and population . Confederate actions , they argue , only delayed defeat . Civil War historian Shelby Foote expressed this view succinctly : `` I think that the North fought that war with one hand behind its back ... If there had been more Southern victories , and a lot more , the North simply would have brought that other hand out from behind its back . I do n't think the South ever had a chance to win that War . '' A minority view among historians is that the Confederacy lost because , as E. Merton Coulter put it , `` people did not will hard enough and long enough to win . '' Marxist historian Armstead Robinson agrees , pointing to a class conflict in the Confederate army between the slave owners and the larger number of non-owners . He argues that the non-owner soldiers grew embittered about fighting to preserve slavery , and fought less enthusiastically . He attributes the major Confederate defeats in 1863 at Vicksburg and Missionary Ridge to this class conflict . However , most historians reject the argument . James M. McPherson , after reading thousands of letters written by Confederate soldiers , found strong patriotism that continued to the end ; they truly believed they were fighting for freedom and liberty . Even as the Confederacy was visibly collapsing in 1864 -- 65 , he says most Confederate soldiers were fighting hard . Historian Gary Gallagher cites General Sherman who in early 1864 commented , `` The devils seem to have a determination that can not but be admired . '' Despite their loss of slaves and wealth , with starvation looming , Sherman continued , `` yet I see no sign of let up -- some few deserters -- plenty tired of war , but the masses determined to fight it out . '' Also important were Lincoln 's eloquence in rationalizing the national purpose and his skill in keeping the border states committed to the Union cause . The Emancipation Proclamation was an effective use of the President 's war powers . The Confederate government failed in its attempt to get Europe involved in the war militarily , particularly Britain and France . Southern leaders needed to get European powers to help break up the blockade the Union had created around the Southern ports and cities . Lincoln 's naval blockade was 95 percent effective at stopping trade goods ; as a result , imports and exports to the South declined significantly . The abundance of European cotton and Britain 's hostility to the institution of slavery , along with Lincoln 's Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico naval blockades , severely decreased any chance that either Britain or France would enter the war . Historian Don Doyle has argued that the Union victory had a major impact on the course of world history . The Union victory energized popular democratic forces . A Confederate victory , on the other hand , would have meant a new birth of slavery , not freedom . Historian Fergus Bordewich , following Doyle , argues that : The North 's victory decisively proved the durability of democratic government . Confederate independence , on the other hand , would have established an American model for reactionary politics and race - based repression that would likely have cast an international shadow into the twentieth century and perhaps beyond . '' Scholars have debated what the effects of the war were on political and economic power in the South . The prevailing view is that the southern planter elite retained its powerful position in the South . However , a 2017 study challenges this , noting that while some Southern elites retained their economic status , the turmoil of the 1860s created greater opportunities for economic mobility in the South than in the North . Costs One in thirteen veterans were amputees . Remains of both sides were reinterred . National cemetery in Andersonville , GA . The war resulted in at least 1,030,000 casualties ( 3 percent of the population ) , including about 620,000 soldier deaths -- two - thirds by disease , and 50,000 civilians . Binghamton University historian J. David Hacker believes the number of soldier deaths was approximately 750,000 , 20 percent higher than traditionally estimated , and possibly as high as 850,000 . The war accounted for more American deaths than in all other U.S. wars combined . Based on 1860 census figures , 8 percent of all white males aged 13 to 43 died in the war , including 6 percent in the North and 18 percent in the South . About 56,000 soldiers died in prison camps during the War . An estimated 60,000 men lost limbs in the war . Union army dead , amounting to 15 percent of the over two million who served , was broken down as follows : 110,070 killed in action ( 67,000 ) or died of wounds ( 43,000 ) . 199,790 died of disease ( 75 percent was due to the war , the remainder would have occurred in civilian life anyway ) 24,866 died in Confederate prison camps 9,058 killed by accidents or drowning 15,741 other / unknown deaths 359,528 total dead In addition there were 4,523 deaths in the Navy ( 2,112 in battle ) and 460 in the Marines ( 148 in battle ) . Black troops made up 10 percent of the Union death toll , they amounted to 15 percent of disease deaths but less than 3 percent of those killed in battle . Losses among African Americans were high , in the last year and a half and from all reported casualties , approximately 20 percent of all African Americans enrolled in the military lost their lives during the Civil War . Notably , their mortality rate was significantly higher than white soldiers : ( We ) find , according to the revised official data , that of the slightly over two millions troops in the United States Volunteers , over 316,000 died ( from all causes ) , or 15.2 percent . Of the 67,000 Regular Army ( white ) troops , 8.6 percent , or not quite 6,000 , died . Of the approximately 180,000 United States Colored Troops , however , over 36,000 died , or 20.5 percent . In other words , the mortality `` rate '' amongst the United States Colored Troops in the Civil War was thirty - five percent greater than that among other troops , notwithstanding the fact that the former were not enrolled until some eighteen months after the fighting began . Confederate records compiled by historian William F. Fox list 74,524 killed and died of wounds and 59,292 died of disease . Including Confederate estimates of battle losses where no records exist would bring the Confederate death toll to 94,000 killed and died of wounds . Fox complained , however , that records were incomplete , especially during the last year of the war , and that battlefield reports likely under - counted deaths ( many men counted as wounded in battlefield reports subsequently died of their wounds ) . Thomas L. Livermore , using Fox 's data , put the number of Confederate non-combat deaths at 166,000 , using the official estimate of Union deaths from disease and accidents and a comparison of Union and Confederate enlistment records , for a total of 260,000 deaths . However , this excludes the 30,000 deaths of Confederate troops in prisons , which would raise the minimum number of deaths to 290,000 . The United States National Park Service uses the following figures in its official tally of war losses : Union : 853,838 110,100 killed in action 224,580 disease deaths 275,154 wounded in action 211,411 captured ( including 30,192 who died as POWs ) Confederate : 914,660 94,000 killed in action 164,000 disease deaths 194,026 wounded in action 462,634 captured ( including 31,000 who died as POWs ) Burying Union dead on the Antietam battlefield , 1862 While the figures of 360,000 army deaths for the Union and 260,000 for the Confederacy remained commonly cited , they are incomplete . In addition to many Confederate records being missing , partly as a result of Confederate widows not reporting deaths due to being ineligible for benefits , both armies only counted troops who died during their service , and not the tens of thousands who died of wounds or diseases after being discharged . This often happened only a few days or weeks later . Francis Amasa Walker , Superintendent of the 1870 Census , used census and Surgeon General data to estimate a minimum of 500,000 Union military deaths and 350,000 Confederate military deaths , for a total death toll of 850,000 soldiers . While Walker 's estimates were originally dismissed because of the 1870 Census 's undercounting , it was later found that the census was only off by 6.5 % , and that the data Walker used would be roughly accurate . Analyzing the number of dead by using census data to calculate the deviation of the death rate of men of fighting age from the norm suggests that at least 627,000 and at most 888,000 , but most likely 761,000 soldiers , died in the war . This would break down to approximately 350,000 Confederate and 411,000 Union military deaths , going by the proportion of Union to Confederate battle losses . Deaths among former slaves has proven much harder to estimate , due to the lack of reliable census data at the time , though they were known to be considerable , as former slaves were set free or escaped in massive numbers in an area where the Union army did not have sufficient shelter , doctors , or food for them . University of Connecticut Professor James Downs states that tens to hundreds of thousands of slaves died during the war from disease , starvation , exposure , or execution at the hands of the Confederates , and that if these deaths are counted in the war 's total , the death toll would exceed 1 million . Losses were far higher than during the recent defeat of Mexico , which saw roughly thirteen thousand American deaths , including fewer than two thousand killed in battle , between 1846 and 1848 . One reason for the high number of battle deaths during the war was the continued use of tactics similar to those of the Napoleonic Wars at the turn of the century , such as charging . With the advent of more accurate rifled barrels , Minié balls and ( near the end of the war for the Union army ) repeating firearms such as the Spencer Repeating Rifle and the Henry Repeating Rifle , soldiers were mowed down when standing in lines in the open . This led to the adoption of trench warfare , a style of fighting that defined much of World War I . The wealth amassed in slaves and slavery for the Confederacy 's 3.5 million blacks effectively ended when Union armies arrived ; they were nearly all freed by the Emancipation Proclamation . Slaves in the border states and those located in some former Confederate territory occupied before the Emancipation Proclamation were freed by state action or ( on December 6 , 1865 ) by the Thirteenth Amendment . The war destroyed much of the wealth that had existed in the South . All accumulated investment Confederate bonds was forfeit ; most banks and railroads were bankrupt . Income per person in the South dropped to less than 40 percent of that of the North , a condition that lasted until well into the 20th century . Southern influence in the U.S. federal government , previously considerable , was greatly diminished until the latter half of the 20th century . The full restoration of the Union was the work of a highly contentious postwar era known as Reconstruction . Emancipation Slavery as a War issue While not all Southerners saw themselves as fighting to preserve slavery , most of the officers and over a third of the rank and file in Lee 's army had close family ties to slavery . To Northerners , in contrast , the motivation was primarily to preserve the Union , not to abolish slavery . Abraham Lincoln consistently made preserving the Union the central goal of the war , though he increasingly saw slavery as a crucial issue and made ending it an additional goal . Lincoln 's decision to issue the Emancipation Proclamation angered both Peace Democrats ( `` Copperheads '' ) and War Democrats , but energized most Republicans . By warning that free blacks would flood the North , Democrats made gains in the 1862 elections , but they did not gain control of Congress . The Republicans ' counterargument that slavery was the mainstay of the enemy steadily gained support , with the Democrats losing decisively in the 1863 elections in the northern state of Ohio when they tried to resurrect anti-black sentiment . Emancipation Proclamation Main article : Emancipation Proclamation Left : Contrabands -- fugitive slaves -- cooks , laundresses , laborers , teamsters , railroad repair crews -- fled to the Union Army , but were not officially freed until 1863 . Emancipation Proclamation . Right : In 1863 , the Union army accepted Freedmen . Seen here are Black and White teen - aged soldiers . The Emancipation Proclamation enabled African - Americans , both free blacks and escaped slaves , to join the Union Army . About 190,000 volunteered , further enhancing the numerical advantage the Union armies enjoyed over the Confederates , who did not dare emulate the equivalent manpower source for fear of fundamentally undermining the legitimacy of slavery . During the Civil War , sentiment concerning slaves , enslavement and emancipation in the United States was divided . In 1861 , Lincoln worried that premature attempts at emancipation would mean the loss of the border states , and that `` to lose Kentucky is nearly the same as to lose the whole game . '' Copperheads and some War Democrats opposed emancipation , although the latter eventually accepted it as part of total war needed to save the Union . At first , Lincoln reversed attempts at emancipation by Secretary of War Simon Cameron and Generals John C. Frémont ( in Missouri ) and David Hunter ( in South Carolina , Georgia and Florida ) to keep the loyalty of the border states and the War Democrats . Lincoln warned the border states that a more radical type of emancipation would happen if his gradual plan based on compensated emancipation and voluntary colonization was rejected . But only the District of Columbia accepted Lincoln 's gradual plan , which was enacted by Congress . When Lincoln told his cabinet about his proposed emancipation proclamation , Seward advised Lincoln to wait for a victory before issuing it , as to do otherwise would seem like `` our last shriek on the retreat '' . Lincoln laid the groundwork for public support in an open letter published in abolitionist Horace Greeley 's newspaper . In September 1862 , the Battle of Antietam provided this opportunity , and the subsequent War Governors ' Conference added support for the proclamation . Lincoln issued his preliminary Emancipation Proclamation on September 22 , 1862 , and his final Emancipation Proclamation on January 1 , 1863 . In his letter to Albert G. Hodges , Lincoln explained his belief that `` If slavery is not wrong , nothing is wrong ... And yet I have never understood that the Presidency conferred upon me an unrestricted right to act officially upon this judgment and feeling ... I claim not to have controlled events , but confess plainly that events have controlled me . '' Lincoln 's moderate approach succeeded in inducing border states , War Democrats and emancipated slaves to fight for the Union . The Union - controlled border states ( Kentucky , Missouri , Maryland , Delaware and West Virginia ) and Union - controlled regions around New Orleans , Norfolk and elsewhere , were not covered by the Emancipation Proclamation . All abolished slavery on their own , except Kentucky and Delaware . Since the Emancipation Proclamation was based on the President 's war powers , it only included territory held by Confederates at the time . However , the Proclamation became a symbol of the Union 's growing commitment to add emancipation to the Union 's definition of liberty . The Emancipation Proclamation greatly reduced the Confederacy 's hope of getting aid from Britain or France . By late 1864 , Lincoln was playing a leading role in getting Congress to vote for the Thirteenth Amendment , which made emancipation universal and permanent . Texas v. white In Texas v. White , 74 U.S. 700 ( 1869 ) the United States Supreme Court ruled that Texas had remained a state ever since it first joined the Union , despite claims that it joined the Confederate States ; the court further held that the Constitution did not permit states to unilaterally secede from the United States , and that the ordinances of secession , and all the acts of the legislatures within seceding states intended to give effect to such ordinances , were `` absolutely null '' , under the constitution . Reconstruction Main article : Reconstruction era Northern teachers traveled into the South to provide education and training for the newly freed population . Reconstruction began during the war , with the Emancipation Proclamation of January 1 , 1863 , and it continued until 1877 . It comprised multiple complex methods to resolve the outstanding issues of the war 's aftermath , the most important of which were the three `` Reconstruction Amendments '' to the Constitution , which remain in effect to the present time : the 13th ( 1865 ) , the 14th ( 1868 ) and the 15th ( 1870 ) . From the Union perspective , the goals of Reconstruction were to consolidate the Union victory on the battlefield by reuniting the Union ; to guarantee a `` republican form of government for the ex-Confederate states ; and to permanently end slavery -- and prevent semi-slavery status . President Johnson took a lenient approach and saw the achievement of the main war goals as realized in 1865 , when each ex-rebel state repudiated secession and ratified the Thirteenth Amendment . Radical Republicans demanded proof that Confederate nationalism was dead and that the slaves were truly free . They came to the fore after the 1866 elections and undid much of Johnson 's work . In 1872 the `` Liberal Republicans '' argued that the war goals had been achieved and that Reconstruction should end . They ran a presidential ticket in 1872 but were decisively defeated . In 1874 , Democrats , primarily Southern , took control of Congress and opposed any more reconstruction . The Compromise of 1877 closed with a national consensus that the Civil War had finally ended . With the withdrawal of federal troops , however , whites retook control of every Southern legislature ; the Jim Crow period of disenfranchisement and legal segregation was about to begin . Memory and historiography Left : Monument to the Grand Army of the Republic , a Union veteran organization Right : Cherokee Confederates reunion in New Orleans , 1903 The Civil War is one of the central events in American collective memory . There are innumerable statues , commemorations , books and archival collections . The memory includes the home front , military affairs , the treatment of soldiers , both living and dead , in the war 's aftermath , depictions of the war in literature and art , evaluations of heroes and villains , and considerations of the moral and political lessons of the war . The last theme includes moral evaluations of racism and slavery , heroism in combat and heroism behind the lines , and the issues of democracy and minority rights , as well as the notion of an `` Empire of Liberty '' influencing the world . Professional historians have paid much more attention to the causes of the war , than to the war itself . Military history has largely developed outside academe , leading to a proliferation of solid studies by non-scholars who are thoroughly familiar with the primary sources , pay close attention to battles and campaigns , and write for the large public readership , rather than the small scholarly community . Bruce Catton and Shelby Foote are among the best - known writers . Practically every major figure in the war , both North and South , has had a serious biographical study . Deeply religious Southerners saw the hand of God in history , which demonstrated His wrath at their sinfulness , or His rewards for their suffering . Historian Wilson Fallin has examined the sermons of white and black Baptist preachers after the War . Southern white preachers said : God had chastised them and given them a special mission -- to maintain orthodoxy , strict biblicism , personal piety , and traditional race relations . Slavery , they insisted , had not been sinful . Rather , emancipation was a historical tragedy and the end of Reconstruction was a clear sign of God 's favor . In sharp contrast , Black preachers interpreted the Civil War as : God 's gift of freedom . They appreciated opportunities to exercise their independence , to worship in their own way , to affirm their worth and dignity , and to proclaim the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man . Most of all , they could form their own churches , associations , and conventions . These institutions offered self - help and racial uplift , and provided places where the gospel of liberation could be proclaimed . As a result , black preachers continued to insist that God would protect and help him ; God would be their rock in a stormy land . Lost Cause Main article : Lost Cause of the Confederacy Memory of the war in the white South crystallized in the myth of the `` Lost Cause '' , shaping regional identity and race relations for generations . Alan T. Nolan notes that the Lost Cause was expressly `` a rationalization , a cover - up to vindicate the name and fame '' of those in rebellion . Some claims revolve around the insignificance of slavery ; some appeals highlight cultural differences between North and South ; the military conflict by Confederate actors is idealized ; in any case , secession was said to be lawful . Nolan argues that the adoption of the Lost Cause perspective facilitated the reunification of the North and the South while excusing the `` virulent racism '' of the 19th century , sacrificing African - American progress to a white man 's reunification . He also deems the Lost Cause `` a caricature of the truth . This caricature wholly misrepresents and distorts the facts of the matter '' in every instance . Beardian historiography The economic and political - power determinism forcefully presented by Charles A. Beard and Mary R. Beard in The Rise of American Civilization ( 1927 ) was highly influential among historians and the general public until the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s . The Beards downplayed slavery , abolitionism , and issues of morality . They ignored constitutional issues of states ' rights and even ignored American nationalism as the force that finally led to victory in the war . Indeed , the ferocious combat itself was passed over as merely an ephemeral event . Much more important was the calculus of class conflict . The Beards announced that the Civil War was really : ( A ) social cataclysm in which the capitalists , laborers , and farmers of the North and West drove from power in the national government the planting aristocracy of the South . The Beards themselves abandoned their interpretation by the 1940s and it became defunct among historians in the 1950s , when scholars shifted to an emphasis on slavery . However , Beardian themes still echo among Lost Cause writers . Battlefield preservation Beginning in 1961 the U.S. Post Office released Commemorative stamps for five famous battles , each issued on the 100th anniversary of the respective battle . The first efforts at Civil War battlefield preservation and memorialization came during the war itself with the establishment of National Cemeteries at Gettysburg , Mill Springs and Chattanooga . Soldiers began erecting markers on battlefields beginning with the First Battle of Bull Run in July 1861 , but the oldest surviving monument is the Hazen monument , erected at Stones River near Murfreesboro , Tennessee , in the summer of 1863 by soldiers in Union Col. William B. Hazen 's brigade to mark the spot where they buried their dead in the Battle of Stones River . In the 1890s , the United States government established five Civil War battlefield parks under the jurisdiction of the War Department , beginning with the creation of the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park in Tennessee and the Antietam National Battlefield in Maryland in 1890 . The Shiloh National Military Park was established in 1894 , followed by the Gettysburg National Military Park in 1895 and Vicksburg National Military Park in 1899 . In 1933 , these five parks and other national monuments were transferred to the jurisdiction of the National Park Service . The modern Civil War battlefield preservation movement began in 1987 with the founding of the Association for the Preservation of Civil War Sites ( APCWS ) , a grassroots organization created by Civil War historians and others to preserve battlefield land by acquiring it . In 1991 , the original Civil War Trust was created in the mold of the Statue of Liberty / Ellis Island Foundation , but failed to attract corporate donors and soon helped manage the disbursement of U.S. Mint Civil War commemorative coin revenues designated for battlefield preservation . Although the two non-profit organizations joined forces on a number of battlefield acquisitions , ongoing conflicts prompted the boards of both organizations to facilitate a merger , which happened in 1999 with the creation of the Civil War Preservation Trust . In 2011 , the organization was renamed , again becoming the Civil War Trust . After expanding its mission in 2014 to include battlefields of the Revolutionary War and War of 1812 , the non-profit became the American Battlefield Trust in May 2018 , operating with two divisions , the Civil War Trust and the Revolutionary War Trust . From 1987 through May 2018 , the Trust and its predecessor organizations , along with their partners , preserved 49,893 acres of battlefield land through acquisition of property or conservation easements at more than 130 battlefields in 24 states . Civil War commemoration Main article : Commemoration of the American Civil War See also : Commemoration of the American Civil War on postage stamps Left : Grand Army of the Republic ( Union ) Right : United Confederate Veterans The American Civil War has been commemorated in many capacities ranging from the reenactment of battles , to statues and memorial halls erected , to films being produced , to stamps and coins with Civil War themes being issued , all of which helped to shape public memory . This varied advent occurred in greater proportions on the 100th and 150th anniversary . Hollywood 's take on the war has been especially influential in shaping public memory , as seen in such film classics as Birth of a Nation ( 1915 ) , Gone with the Wind ( 1939 ) , and more recently Lincoln ( 2012 ) . Ken Burns produced a notable PBS series on television titled The Civil War ( 1990 ) . It was digitally remastered and re-released in 2015 . Technological significance There were numerous technological innovations during the Civil War that had a great impact on 19th - century science . The Civil War was one of the earliest examples of an `` industrial war '' , in which technological might is used to achieve military supremacy in a war . New inventions , such as the train and telegraph , delivered soldiers , supplies and messages at a time when horses were considered to be the fastest way to travel . It was also in this war when countries first used aerial warfare , in the form of reconnaissance balloons , to a significant effect . It saw the first action involving steam - powered ironclad warships in naval warfare history . Repeating firearms such as the Henry rifle , Spencer rifle , Colt revolving rifle , Triplett & Scott carbine and others , first appeared during the Civil War ; they were a revolutionary invention that would soon replace muzzle - loading and single - shot firearms in warfare , as well as the first appearances of rapid - firing weapons and machine guns such as the Agar gun and the Gatling gun .

Jump up ^ A novel way of calculating casualties by looking at the deviation of the death rate of men of fighting age from the norm through analysis of census data found that at least 627,000 and at most 888,000 people , but most likely 761,000 people , died through the war .

Jump up ^ `` Slave 1864 , CSA '' aggregates 1860 slave census of Virginia , North Carolina , South Carolina , Georgia and Texas . It omits losses from contraband and after the Emancipation Proclamation , freedmen migrating to the Union controlled coastal ports and those joining advancing Union armies , especially in the Mississippi Valley . Jump up ^ At the beginning of the war , some Union commanders thought they were supposed to return escaped slaves to their masters . By 1862 , when it became clear that this would be a long war , the question of what to do about slavery became more general . The Southern economy and military effort depended on slave labor . It began to seem unreasonable to protect slavery while blockading Southern commerce and destroying Southern production . As one Congressman put it , the slaves `` ... can not be neutral . As laborers , if not as soldiers , they will be allies of the rebels , or of the Union . '' The same Congressman -- and his fellow Radical Republicans -- put pressure on Lincoln to rapidly emancipate the slaves , whereas moderate Republicans came to accept gradual , compensated emancipation and colonization . Enslaved African Americans did not wait for Lincoln 's action before escaping and seeking freedom behind Union lines . From early years of the war , hundreds of thousands of African Americans escaped to Union lines , especially in occupied areas like Nashville , Norfolk and the Hampton Roads region in 1862 , Tennessee from 1862 on , the line of Sherman 's march , etc . So many African Americans fled to Union lines that commanders created camps and schools for them , where both adults and children learned to read and write . See Catton , Bruce . Never Call Retreat , p. 335 . The American Missionary Association entered the war effort by sending teachers south to such contraband camps , for instance establishing schools in Norfolk and on nearby plantations . In addition , approximately 180,000 or more African - American men served as soldiers and sailors with Union troops . Most of those were escaped slaves . Probably the most prominent of these African - American soldiers is the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry . Jump up ^ In spite of the South 's shortage of soldiers , most Southern leaders -- until 1865 -- opposed enlisting slaves . They used them as laborers to support the war effort . As Howell Cobb said , `` If slaves will make good soldiers our whole theory of slavery is wrong . '' Confederate generals Patrick Cleburne and Robert E. Lee argued in favor of arming blacks late in the war , and Jefferson Davis was eventually persuaded to support plans for arming slaves to avoid military defeat . The Confederacy surrendered at Appomattox before this plan could be implemented . The great majority of the 4 million slaves were freed by the Emancipation Proclamation , as Union armies moved south . Historian John D. Winters referred to the exhilaration of the slaves when the Union Army came through Louisiana : `` As the troops moved up to Alexandria , the Negroes crowded the roadsides to watch the passing army . They were ' all frantic with joy , some weeping , some blessing , and some dancing in the exuberance of their emotions . ' All of the Negroes were attracted by the pageantry and excitement of the army . Others cheered because they anticipated the freedom to plunder and to do as they pleased now that the Federal troops were there . '' Confederates enslaved captured black Union soldiers , and black soldiers especially were shot when trying to surrender at the Fort Pillow Massacre . See Catton , Bruce . Never Call Retreat , p. 335 . This led to a breakdown of the prisoner and mail exchange program and the growth of prison camps such as Andersonville prison in Georgia , where almost 13,000 Union prisoners of war died of starvation and disease .

With this chaos in place , the totalitarian , Christian theonomic government of `` Gilead '' establishes rule in the former United States in the aftermath of a civil war . Society is organized by power - hungry leaders along a new , militarized , hierarchical regime of fanaticism and newly created social classes , in which women are brutally subjugated , and by law are not allowed to work , own property , handle money , or read . Worldwide infertility has resulted in the conscription of the few remaining fertile women in Gilead , called `` Handmaids '' , according to an extremist interpretation of a Biblical account . They are assigned to the homes of the ruling elite , where they must submit to ritualized rape with their male masters in order to become pregnant and bear children for those men and their wives . Alongside the red - clad Handmaids , much of society is now grouped into classes that dictate their freedoms and duties . Women are divided into a small range of social categories , each one signified by a specifically colored dress in a similar style . Handmaids wear red , Marthas wear green , and Wives wear blue . Econowives , the lower - class women who still have minimal agency , are sort of a mixture of all these categories , so they wear stripes . Wives are expected to run their households , Marthas are housekeepers and cooks , Aunts train and oversee the Handmaids ; additionally , the Eyes are a secret police watching over the general populace for signs of rebellion , Hunters track down people attempting to flee the country , and Jezebels are prostitutes in secret brothels catering to the elite ruling class . June Osborne , renamed Offred ( Elisabeth Moss ) , is the Handmaid assigned to the home of Gileadan Commander Fred Waterford ( Joseph Fiennes ) and his wife Serena Joy ( Yvonne Strahovski ) . She is subject to the strictest rules and constant scrutiny ; an improper word or deed on her part can lead to brutal punishment . Offred , who is named after her male master like all Handmaids , can remember the `` time before '' , when she was married , had a daughter and had her own name and identity , but all she can safely do now is follow the rules of Gilead in the hope that she can someday live free and be reunited with her daughter . The Waterfords , key players in the rise of Gilead , have their own conflicts with the realities of the society they have helped create . Cast ( edit ) Main ( edit ) Elisabeth Moss as June Osborne / Offred , a woman who was captured while attempting to escape to Canada with her husband , Luke , and daughter , Hannah . Due to her fertility , she becomes a handmaid to Commander Fred Waterford and his wife , Serena Joy , and is named `` Offred '' . Joseph Fiennes as Commander Fred Waterford , a high - ranking government official and June 's master . Both he and his wife played an instrumental role in Gilead 's founding . He wishes to have more contact with June outside of what is lawful between a handmaid and her master , and starts inviting her to nightly games of Scrabble . Yvonne Strahovski as Serena Joy Waterford , Fred 's wife and a former conservative cultural activist . She appears to have accepted her new role in a society that she helped create . She is poised and deeply religious , but capable of great cruelty and is often callous to June . She is desperate to become a mother . Alexis Bledel as Emily / Ofglen , June 's shopping partner . Although June is initially wary of her , it is revealed she is not as pious as she seems and the two become friends . She had a wife and son , and was a university lecturer in cellular biology . Being homosexual is punishable by death in Gilead and most university professors are sent to labour camps , but she was spared , due to her fertility . She is later captured and punished for her relationship with a Martha , and is sent to another household where she becomes `` Ofsteven '' . She is involved with a resistance movement called `` Mayday '' . Madeline Brewer as Janine / Ofwarren , a handmaid who entered the Red Center for training at the same time as June , and considers June a friend due to her kind treatment . Initially non-compliant , her right eye is removed as a punishment . She becomes mentally unstable due to her treatment , and often behaves in temperamental or childlike ways . She gives birth to a child for Warren and Naomi Putnam ; they name her `` Angela '' but Janine insists that her name is `` Charlotte '' . She is later reassigned and becomes `` Ofdaniel '' . Ann Dowd as Aunt Lydia , a woman in charge of overseeing the handmaids in their education and duty .

The second season will consist of 13 episodes and began filming in fall 2017 . Alexis Bledel will return as a series regular . Showrunner Bruce Miller stated that he envisioned ten seasons of the show , stating `` Well , you know , honestly , when I started , I tried to game out in my head what would ten seasons be like ? If you hit a home run , you want energy to go around the bases , you want enough story to keep going , if you can hook the audience to care about these people enough that they 're actually crying at the finale . '' Broadcast and Release ( edit ) The first three episodes of the series premiered on April 26 , 2017 , with the subsequent seven episodes added on a weekly basis .

Reception ( edit ) On Rotten Tomatoes , the first season has an approval rating of 95 % based on 103 reviews , with an average rating of 8.59 / 10 . The site 's critical consensus reads , `` Haunting and vivid , The Handmaid 's Tale is an endlessly engrossing adaptation of Margaret Atwood 's dystopian novel that 's anchored by a terrific central performance from Elisabeth Moss . '' On Metacritic , it has a weighted average score of 92 out of 100 based on 40 critics , indicating `` universal acclaim '' . Daniel Fienberg of The Hollywood Reporter called it `` probably the spring 's best new show and certainly its most important '' . Jen Chaney of Vulture gave it a highly positive review , and wrote that it is `` A faithful adaptation of the book that also brings new layers to Atwood 's totalitarian , sexist world of forced surrogate motherhood '' and that `` this series is meticulously paced , brutal , visually stunning , and so suspenseful from moment to moment that only at the end of each hour will you feel fully at liberty to exhale '' . There was much debate on whether parallels could be drawn between the series ( and by extension , the book it is based on ) and American society following Donald Trump 's and Mike Pence 's election as President of the United States and Vice President of the United States , respectively . A comparison has also been made to the Salafi / Wahabbi extremism of ISIL , in which enslaved women of religious minorities are passed around and utilized as sex objects and vessels to bear new jihadis .

They rechristened their business as a hamburger stand . The first time a McDonald 's franchise used the Golden Arches logo was in 1953 at the opening of Phoenix , Arizona , USA . In 1955 , Ray Kroc , a businessman , joined the company as a franchise agent and proceeded to purchase the chain from the McDonald brothers . McDonald 's had its original headquarters in Oak Brook , Illinois , but has approved plans to move its global headquarters to Chicago by 2018 . McDonald 's is the world 's largest restaurant chain by revenue , serving over 69 million customers daily in over 100 countries across approximately 36,900 outlets as of 2016 . Although McDonald 's is known for its hamburgers , they also sell cheeseburgers , chicken products , french fries , breakfast items , soft drinks , milkshakes , wraps , and desserts . In response to changing consumer tastes and a negative backlash because of the unhealthiness of their food , the company has added to its menu salads , fish , smoothies , and fruit . The McDonald 's Corporation revenues come from the rent , royalties , and fees paid by the franchisees , as well as sales in company - operated restaurants . According to a BBC report published in 2012 , McDonald 's is the world 's second largest private employer ( behind Walmart with 1.9 million employees ) , 1.5 million of whom work for franchises .

It is located at 10207 Lakewood Blvd . at Florence Ave. in Downey , California ( at 33 ° 56 ′ 50 '' N 118 ° 07 ′ 06 '' W / 33.9471 ° N 118.1182 ° W / 33.9471 ; - 118.1182 ) The siblings Richard and Maurice McDonald opened in 1940 the first McDonald 's at 1398 North E Street at West 14th Street in San Bernardino , California ( at 34 ° 07 ′ 32 '' N 117 ° 17 ′ 41 '' W / 34.1255 ° N 117.2946 ° W / 34.1255 ; - 117.2946 ) but it was not the McDonald 's recognizable today ; Ray Kroc made changes to the brothers business that modernized it . The brothers introduced the `` Speedee Service System '' in 1948 , putting into expanded use the principles of the modern fast - food restaurant that their predecessor White Castle had put into practice more than two decades earlier. . The original mascot of McDonald 's was a chef hat on top of a hamburger who was referred to as `` Speedee '' . In 1962 , the Golden Arches replaced Speedee as the universal mascot . The symbol , Ronald McDonald , was introduced in 1965 . The clown , Ronald McDonald , appeared in advertising to target their audience of children . Ray Kroc joined the chain in 1954 and built it into an eventually global franchise , making it the most successful fast food corporation in the world On May 4 , 1961 , McDonald 's first filed for a U.S. trademark on the name `` McDonald 's '' with the description `` Drive - In Restaurant Services '' , which continues to be renewed . By September 13 , 1961 , McDonald 's under the guidance of Ray Kroc , filed for a trademark on a new logo -- an overlapping , double - arched `` M '' symbol . But before the double arches , McDonald 's used the a single arch for the architecture of their buildings . Although the `` Golden Arches '' logo appeared in various forms , the present version was not used until November 18 , 1968 , when the company was favored a U.S. trademark . The present corporation credits its founding to franchised businessman Ray Kroc in on April 15 , 1955 , this was in fact the ninth opened McDonald 's restaurant overall ; although this location was destroyed and rebuilt in 1984 . Kroc later purchased the McDonald brothers ' equity in the company and begun the companies worldwide reach . Kroc was recorded as being an aggressive business partner , driving the McDonald brothers out of the industry . Kroc and the McDonald brothers fought for control of the business , as documented in Kroc 's autobiography . The San Bernardino restaurant was eventually torn down ( 1971 , according to Juan Pollo ) and the site was sold to the Juan Pollo chain in 1976 . This area now serves as headquarters for the Juan Pollo chain , and a McDonald 's and Route 66 museum . With the expansion of McDonald 's into many international markets , the company has become a symbol of globalization and the spread of the American way of life . Its prominence has also made it a frequent topic of public debates about obesity , corporate ethics , and consumer responsibility . Corporate overview Facts and figures McDonald 's corporate logo used from November 18 , 1968 , to 2006 . It still exists at some restaurants By 1993 , McDonald 's had sold more than 100 billion hamburgers . The once widespread restaurant signs that boasted the number of sales , such as this one in Harlem , were left at `` 99 billion '' because there was space for only two digits . The McDonald 's in Northport , Alabama commemorates U.S. President Ronald Reagan 's visit McDonald 's restaurants are found in 120 countries and territories around the world and serve 68 million customers each day . McDonald 's operates 36,899 restaurants worldwide , employing more than 375,000 people as of the end of 2016 . There are currently a total of 5,669 company - owned locations and 31,230 franchised locations , which includes 21,559 locations franchised to conventional franchisees , 6,300 locations licensed to developmental licensees , and 3,371 locations licensed to foreign affiliates , primarily Japan . Focusing on its core brand , McDonald 's began divesting itself of other chains it had acquired during the 1990s . The company owned a majority stake in Chipotle Mexican Grill until October 2006 , when McDonald 's fully divested from Chipotle through a stock exchange . Until December 2003 , it also owned Donatos Pizza , and it owned a small share of Aroma Cafe from 1999 to 2001 . On August 27 , 2007 , McDonald 's sold Boston Market to Sun Capital Partners . Notably , McDonald 's has increased shareholder dividends for 25 consecutive years , making it one of the S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats . In October 2012 , its monthly sales fell for the first time in nine years . In 2014 , its quarterly sales fell for the first time in seventeen years , when its sales dropped for the entirety of 1997 . In the United States , it is reported that drive - throughs account for 70 percent of sales . McDonald 's closed down 184 restaurants in the United States in 2015 , which was 59 more than what they planned to open . This move was also the first time McDonald 's had a net decrease in the number of locations in the United States since 1970 . Business model The company currently owns all the land , valued at an estimated $16 to $18 billion , on which its restaurants are situated . The company earns a significant portion of its revenue from rental payments from franchisees . These rent payments rose 26 percent between 2010 and 2015 , accounting for one - fifth of the company 's total revenue at the end of the period . In recent times , there have been calls to spin off the company 's US holdings into a potential real estate investment trust , but the company announced at its investor conference on November 10 , 2015 , that this would not happen . The CEO , Steve Easterbrook discussed that pursuing the REIT option would pose too large a risk to the company 's business model . The McDonald 's logo painted on the tail of a Crossair McDonnell Douglas MD - 83 in 1999 . The United Kingdom and Ireland business model is different from the U.S , in that fewer than 30 percent of restaurants are franchised , with the majority under the ownership of the company . McDonald 's trains its franchisees and management at Hamburger University in Oak Brook , Illinois . In other countries , McDonald 's restaurants are operated by joint ventures of McDonald 's Corporation and other , local entities or governments . According to Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser ( 2001 ) , nearly one in eight workers in the U.S. have at some time been employed by McDonald 's . Employees are encouraged by McDonald 's Corp. to maintain their health by singing along to their favorite songs in order to relieve stress , attending church services in order to have a lower blood pressure , and taking two vacations annually in order to reduce risk for myocardial infarction . Fast Food Nation also states that McDonald 's is the largest private operator of playgrounds in the U.S. , as well as the single largest purchaser of beef , pork , potatoes , and apples . The selection of meats McDonald 's uses varies to some extent based on the culture of the host country . Headquarters McDonald 's Plaza , located in Oak Brook , Illinois , is the headquarters of McDonald 's The McDonald 's headquarters complex , McDonald 's Plaza , is located in Oak Brook , Illinois . It sits on the site of the former headquarters and stabling area of Paul Butler , the founder of Oak Brook .

Global operations See also : List of countries with McDonald 's restaurants and International availability of McDonald 's products Countries with McDonald 's restaurants , showing their first year with its first restaurant McDonald 's on Nathan Road , Kowloon , Hong Kong . McDonald 's has become emblematic of globalization , sometimes referred to as the `` McDonaldization '' of society . The Economist newspaper uses the `` Big Mac Index '' : the comparison of a Big Mac 's cost in various world currencies can be used to informally judge these currencies ' purchasing power parity . Switzerland has the most expensive Big Mac in the world as of July 2015 , while the country with the least expensive Big Mac is India ( albeit for a Maharaja Mac -- the next cheapest Big Mac is Hong Kong ) . McDonald 's , Paulista Avenue , São Paulo , Brazil Thomas Friedman once said that no country with a McDonald 's had gone to war with another . However , the `` Golden Arches Theory of Conflict Prevention '' is not strictly true . Exceptions are the 1989 United States invasion of Panama , NATO 's bombing of Serbia in 1999 , the 2006 Lebanon War , and the 2008 South Ossetia war . McDonald 's suspended operations in its corporate - owned stores in Crimea after Russia annexed the region in 2014 . On August 20 , 2014 , as tensions between the United States and Russia strained over events in Ukraine , and the resultant U.S. sanctions , the Russian government temporarily shut down four McDonald 's outlets in Moscow , citing sanitary concerns . The company has operated in Russia since 1990 and at August 2014 had 438 stores across the country . On August 23 , 2014 , Russian Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich ruled out any government move to ban McDonald 's and dismissed the notion that the temporary closures had anything to do with the sanctions . McDonald 's , Old Mahabalipuram Road , Chennai , India Some observers have suggested that the company should be given credit for increasing the standard of service in markets that it enters . A group of anthropologists in a study entitled Golden Arches East looked at the impact McDonald 's had on East Asia and Hong Kong , in particular . When it opened in Hong Kong in 1975 , McDonald 's was the first restaurant to consistently offer clean restrooms , driving customers to demand the same of other restaurants and institutions . McDonald 's has taken to partnering up with Sinopec , the second largest oil company in the People 's Republic of China , as it takes advantage of the country 's growing use of personal vehicles by opening numerous drive - thru restaurants . McDonald 's has opened a McDonald 's restaurant and McCafé on the underground premises of the French fine arts museum , The Louvre . The company stated it would open vegetarian - only restaurants in India by mid-2013 . Foreign restaurants are banned in Bermuda , with the exception of KFC , which was present before the current law was passed . Therefore , there are no McDonald 's in Bermuda . On January 9 , 2017 , 80 % of the franchise rights in the mainland China and in Hong Kong were sold for US $2.080 billion to a consortium of CITIC Limited ( for 32 % ) and private equity funds managed by CITIC Capital ( for 20 % ) and Carlyle ( for 20 % ) , which CITIC Limited and CITIC Capital would also formed a joint venture to own the stake . Products Main article : List of McDonald 's products A typical `` eat - in '' McDonald 's meal as sold in Hong Kong , consisting of French fries , a soft drink , and a `` main product '' - in this case , a McSpicy Chicken Fillet . Condiments are supplied in small packets ; such a packet of tomato ketchup is seen in the foreground . McDonald 's predominantly sells hamburgers , various types of chicken , chicken sandwiches , French fries , soft drinks , breakfast items , and desserts . In most markets , McDonald 's offers salads and vegetarian items , wraps and other localized fare . On a seasonal basis , McDonald 's offers the McRib sandwich . Some speculate the seasonality of the McRib adds to its appeal . Products are offered as either `` eat - in '' ( where the customer opts to eat in the restaurant ) or `` take - out '' ( where the customer opts to take the food for consumption off the premises ) . `` Eat - in '' meals are provided on a plastic tray with a paper insert on the floor of the tray . `` Take - out '' meals are usually delivered with the contents enclosed in a distinctive McDonald 's - branded brown paper bag . In both cases , the individual items are wrapped or boxed as appropriate . Since Steve Easterbrook became CEO of the company , McDonald 's has streamlined the menu which in the United States contained nearly 200 items . The company has also looked to introduce healthier options , and removed high - fructose corn syrup from hamburger buns . The company has also removed artificial preservatives from Chicken McNuggets , replacing chicken skin , safflower oil and citric acid found in Chicken McNuggets with pea starch , rice starch and powdered lemon juice . International menu variations See also : McDonald 's products ( international ) A McDonald 's Ebi Feast meal sold at branches in Singapore , November 2013 . McDonald 's is known for tailoring its menus in different markets to cater to local tastes Restaurants in several countries , particularly in Asia , serve soup . This local deviation from the standard menu is a characteristic for which the chain is particularly known , and one which is employed either to abide by regional food taboos ( such as the religious prohibition of beef consumption in India ) or to make available foods with which the regional market is more familiar ( such as the sale of McRice in Indonesia , or Ebi ( prawn ) Burger in Singapore and Japan ) . In Germany and some other Western European countries , McDonald 's sells beer . In New Zealand , McDonald 's sells meat pies , after the local affiliate partially relaunched the Georgie Pie fast food chain it bought out in 1996 . In the United States , after limited trials on a regional basis , McDonald 's plans to offer an all - day breakfast menu whenever its restaurants are open , although eggs can not be cooked at the same time on the same equipment as hamburgers due to different temperature requirements .

( November 2015 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Types of restaurants Counter service in a McDonald 's restaurant in Dukhan , Qatar Most standalone McDonald 's restaurants offer both counter service and drive - through service , with indoor and sometimes outdoor seating . Drive - Thru , Auto - Mac , Pay and Drive , or `` McDrive '' as it is known in many countries , often has separate stations for placing , paying for , and picking up orders , though the latter two steps are frequently combined ; it was first introduced in Arizona in 1975 , following the lead of other fast - food chains . The first such restaurant in Britain opened at Fallowfield , Manchester in 1986 . McDrive In some countries , `` McDrive '' locations near highways offer no counter service or seating . In contrast , locations in high - density city neighborhoods often omit drive - through service . There are also a few locations , located mostly in downtown districts , that offer a `` Walk - Thru '' service in place of Drive - Thru . McCafé Main article : McCafé A Montevideo McCafé McCafé is a café - style accompaniment to McDonald 's restaurants and is a concept created by McDonald 's Australia ( also known , and marketed , as `` Macca 's '' in Australia ) , starting with Melbourne in 1993 . As of 2016 , most McDonald 's in Australia have McCafés located within the existing McDonald 's restaurant . In Tasmania , there are McCafés in every restaurant , with the rest of the states quickly following suit . After upgrading to the new McCafé look and feel , some Australian restaurants have noticed up to a 60 percent increase in sales . At the end of 2003 , there were over 600 McCafés worldwide . `` Create Your Taste '' restaurants From 2015 -- 2016 , McDonald 's tried a new gourmet burger service / restaurant concept based on other gourmet restaurants such as Shake Shack and Grill 'd . It was rolled out for the first time in Australia during the early months of 2015 and expanded to China , Hong Kong , Singapore , Arabia and New Zealand , with ongoing trials in the US market . In dedicated `` Create Your Taste '' ( CYT ) kiosks , customers could choose all ingredients including type of bun and meat along with optional extras . In late 2015 the Australian CYT service introduced CYT salads . After a person had ordered , McDonald 's advised that wait times were between 10 -- 15 minutes . When the food was ready , trained crew ( ' hosts ' ) brought the food to the customer 's table . Instead of McDonald 's usual cardboard and plastic packaging , CYT food was presented on wooden boards , fries in wire baskets and salads in china bowls with metal cutlery . A higher price applied . In November 2016 , Create Your Taste was replaced by a `` Signature Crafted Recipes '' program designed to be more efficient and less expensive . Other Some locations are connected to gas stations / convenience stores , while others called McExpress have limited seating and / or menu or may be located in a shopping mall . Other McDonald 's are located in Walmart stores . McStop is a location targeted at truckers and travelers which may have services found at truck stops . In Sweden , customers who order a happy meal can use the meal 's container for a pair of happy goggles . The company created a game for the goggles known as `` Slope Stars . '' McDonald 's predicts happy goggles will continue in other countries . In the Netherlands , McDonald 's has introduced McTrax that doubles as a recording studio ; it reacts to touch . They can create their own beats with a synth and tweak sounds with special effects .

Playgrounds A McDonald 's in Panorama City , Los Angeles , California with a Playplace designed to promote a family - friendly image This section needs expansion . You can help by adding to it . ( May 2014 ) McDonald 's playgrounds are called McDonald 's PlayPlace . Some McDonald 's in suburban areas and certain cities feature large indoor or outdoor playgrounds . The first PlayPlace with the familiar crawl - tube design with ball pits and slides was introduced in 1987 in the US , with many more being constructed soon after . McDonald 's Next McDonald 's Next in Admiralty , Hong Kong McDonald 's Next use open - concept design and offer `` Create Your Taste '' digital ordering . The concept store also offering free mobile device charging and table service after 6 : 00 pm . The first store open in Hong Kong in December 2015 . 2006 redesign An American McDonald 's in Mount Pleasant , Iowa in June 2008 ; this is an example of the `` new '' look of American McDonald 's restaurants In 2006 , McDonald 's introduced its `` Forever Young '' brand by redesigning all of its restaurants , the first major redesign since the 1970s . The goal of the redesign is to be more like a coffee shop , similar to Starbucks . The design includes wooden tables , faux - leather chairs , and muted colors ; the red was muted to terracotta , the yellow was shifted to golden for a more `` sunny '' look , and olive and sage green were also added . To create a warmer look , the restaurants have less plastic and more brick and wood , with modern hanging lights to produce a softer glow . Many restaurants now feature free Wi - Fi and flat - screen TVs . Other upgrades include double drive - thrus , flat roofs instead of the angled red roofs , and replacing fiber glass with wood . Also , instead of the familiar golden arches , the restaurants now feature `` semi-swooshes '' ( half of a golden arch ) , similar to the Nike swoosh . Smoking ban McDonald 's began banning smoking in 1994 when it banned smoking within its 1,400 wholly owned restaurants . Treatment of employees A kiosk for placing orders at the Denton House McDonald 's in Long Island , New York A McDonald 's employee takes an order in the Philippines Automation Since the late 1990s , McDonald 's has attempted to replace employees with electronic kiosks which would perform actions such taking orders and accepting money . In 1999 , McDonald 's first tested `` E-Clerks '' in suburban Chicago , Illinois , and Wyoming , Michigan , with the devices being able to `` save money on live staffers '' and attracting larger purchase amounts than average employees . In 2013 , the University of Oxford estimated that in the succeeding decades , there was a 92 % probability of food preparation and serving to become automated in fast food establishments . By 2016 , McDonald 's `` Create Your Taste '' electronic kiosks were seen in some restaurants internationally where customers could custom order meals . As employees pushed for higher wages in the late - 2010s , some believed that fast food companies such as McDonald 's would use the devices to cut costs for employing individuals . Wages On August 5 , 2013 , The Guardian revealed that 90 percent of McDonald 's UK workforce are on zero hour contracts , making it possibly the largest such private sector employer in the country . A study released by Fast Food Forward conducted by Anzalone Liszt Grove Research showed that approximately 84 percent of all fast food employees working in New York City in April 2013 had been paid less than their legal wages by their employers . From 2007 to 2011 , fast food workers in the US drew an average of $7 billion of public assistance annually resulting from receiving low wages . The McResource website advised employees to break their food into smaller pieces to feel fuller , seek refunds for unopened holiday purchases , sell possessions online for quick cash , and to `` quit complaining '' as `` stress hormone levels rise by 15 percent after ten minutes of complaining . '' In December 2013 , McDonald 's shut down the McResource website amidst negative publicity and criticism . McDonald 's plans to continue an internal telephone help line through which its employees can obtain advice on work and life problems . Liberal thinktank the Roosevelt Institute accuses some McDonald 's restaurants of actually paying less than the minimum wage to entry positions due to ' rampant ' wage theft . In South Korea , McDonald 's pays part - time employees $5.50 an hour and is accused of paying less with arbitrary schedules adjustments and pay delays . In late 2015 , Anonymous aggregated data collected by Glassdoor suggests that McDonald 's in the United States pays entry - level employees between $7.25 an hour and $11 an hour , with an average of $8.69 an hour . Shift managers get paid an average of $10.34 an hour . Assistant managers get paid an average of $11.57 an hour . McDonald 's CEO , Steve Easterbrook , currently earns an annual salary of $1,100,000 . Strikes See also : Fast food worker strikes Fast food workers on strike outside of a McDonald 's in St. Paul , Minnesota . McDonald 's workers have on occasions decided to strike over pay , with most of the employees on strike seeking to be paid $15.00 . When interviewed about the strikes occurring , former McDonald 's CEO Ed Rensi stated : `` It 's cheaper to buy a $35,000 robotic arm than it is to hire an employee who 's inefficient making $15 an hour bagging french fries '' with Rensi explaining that increasing employee wages could possibly take away from entry - level jobs . However , according to Easterbrook , increasing wages and benefits for workers saw a 6 % increase in customer satisfaction when comparing 2015 's first quarter data to the first quarter of 2016 , with greater returns seen as a result . In September 2017 , two British McDonald 's stores agreed to a strike over zero hours contracts for staff . Picket lines were formed around the two stores in Crayford and Cambridge . The strike was supported by the Leader of the Opposition , Jeremy Corbyn . Working conditions In March 2015 , McDonald 's workers in 19 US cities filed 28 health and safety complaints with the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration which allege that low staffing , lack of protective gear , poor training and pressure to work fast has resulted in injuries . The complaints also allege that , because of a lack of first aid supplies , workers were told by management to treat burn injuries with condiments such as mayonnaise and mustard . The Fight for $15 labor organization aided the workers in filing the complaints . Animal welfare standards In 2015 , McDonald 's pledged to stop using eggs from battery cage facilities by 2025 . Since McDonald 's purchases over 2 billion eggs per year or 4 percent of eggs produced in the United States , the switch is expected to have a major impact on the egg industry and is part of a general trend toward cage - free eggs driven by consumer concern over the harsh living conditions of hens . The aviary systems from which the new eggs will be sourced are troubled by much higher mortality rates , as well as introducing environmental and worker safety problems . The high hen mortality rate , which is more than double that of battery cage systems , will require new research to mitigate . The facilities also have higher ammonia levels due to faeces being kicked up into the air . Producers raised concerns about the production cost , which is expected to increase by 36 percent . McDonald 's continues to source pork from facilities that use gestation crates , and in 2012 pledged to phase them out . Marketing and advertising Main article : McDonald 's advertising McDonald 's has for decades maintained an extensive advertising campaign . In addition to the usual media ( television , radio , and newspaper ) , the company makes significant use of billboards and signage , sponsors sporting events ranging from Little League to the FIFA World Cup and Olympic Games . Television has played a central role in the company 's advertising strategy . To date , McDonald 's has used 23 different slogans in United States advertising , as well as a few other slogans for select countries and regions . Space exploration McDonald 's and NASA explored an advertising agreement for a planned mission to the asteroid 449 Hamburga ; however , the spacecraft was eventually cancelled .

It is the signature fundraising event for Ronald McDonald House Charities . In 2007 , it was celebrated in 17 countries : Argentina , Australia , Austria , Brazil , Canada , the United States , Finland , France , Guatemala , Hungary , England , Ireland , New Zealand , Norway , Sweden , Switzerland , and Uruguay . According to the Australian McHappy Day website , McHappy Day raised $20.4 million in 2009 . The goal for 2010 was $20.8 million . McDonald 's Monopoly donation In 1995 , St. Jude Children 's Research Hospital received an anonymous letter postmarked in Dallas , Texas , containing a $1 million winning McDonald 's Monopoly game piece . McDonald 's officials came to the hospital , accompanied by a representative from the accounting firm Arthur Andersen , who examined the card under a jeweler 's eyepiece , handled it with plastic gloves , and verified it as a winner . Although game rules prohibited the transfer of prizes , McDonald 's waived the rule and has made the annual $50,000 annuity payments , even after learning that the piece was sent by an individual involved in an embezzlement scheme intended to defraud McDonald 's ( see McDonald 's Monopoly ) . Mcrefugee See also : McRefugee McRefugees are poor people in Hong Kong , Japan , and China who use McDonald 's 24 - hour restaurants as a temporary hostel . One in five of Hong Kong 's population lives below the poverty line . The rise of McRefugees was first documented by photographer Suraj Katra in 2013 . Criticism A PETA activist dressed as a chicken confronts the manager of the Times Square McDonald 's over the company 's animal welfare standards In 1990 , activists from a small group known as London Greenpeace ( no connection to the international group Greenpeace ) distributed leaflets entitled What 's wrong with McDonald 's ? , criticizing its environmental , health , and labor record . The corporation wrote to the group demanding they desist and apologize , and , when two of the activists refused to back down , sued them for libel in one of the longest cases in British civil law . A documentary film of the McLibel Trial has been shown in several countries . In the late 1980s , Phil Sokolof , a millionaire businessman who had suffered a heart attack at the age of 43 , took out full - page newspaper ads in New York , Chicago , and other large cities accusing McDonald 's menu of being a threat to American health , and asking them to stop using beef tallow to cook their french fries . Despite the objections of McDonald 's , the term `` McJob '' was added to Merriam - Webster 's Collegiate Dictionary in 2003 . The term was defined as `` a low - paying job that requires little skill and provides little opportunity for advancement '' . In 2001 , Eric Schlosser 's book Fast Food Nation included criticism of the business practices of McDonald 's . Among the critiques were allegations that McDonald 's ( along with other companies within the fast food industry ) uses its political influence to increase its profits at the expense of people 's health and the social conditions of its workers . The book also brought into question McDonald 's advertisement techniques in which it targets children . While the book did mention other fast - food chains , it focused primarily on McDonald 's . In 2002 , vegetarian groups , largely Hindu and Buddhist , successfully sued McDonald 's for misrepresenting its French fries as vegetarian , when they contained beef broth . Morgan Spurlock 's 2004 documentary film Super Size Me claimed that McDonald 's food was contributing to the increase of obesity in society and that the company was failing to provide nutritional information about its food for its customers . Six weeks after the film premiered , McDonald 's announced that it was eliminating the super size option , and was creating the adult Happy Meal . Screenshot from McDonald 's Videogame In 2006 , an unsanctioned McDonald 's Videogame was released online . It is parody of the business practices of the corporate giant , taking the guise of a tycoon style business simulation game . In the game , the player plays the role of a McDonald 's CEO , choosing whether or not to use controversial practices like genetically altered cow feed , plowing over rainforests , and corrupting public officials . McDonald 's issued a statement distancing itself from the game . In January 2014 , it was reported that McDonald 's was accused of having used a series of tax maneuvers to avoid taxes in France . The company confirmed that tax authorities had visited McDonald 's French headquarters in Paris but insisted that it had not done anything wrong , saying , `` McDonald 's firmly denies the accusation made by L'Express according to which McDonald 's supposedly hid part of its revenue from taxes in France . '' Company responses to criticism Discreet shopfront in historic Stratford - upon - Avon In response to public pressure , McDonald 's has sought to include more healthy choices in its menu and has introduced a new slogan to its recruitment posters : `` Not bad for a McJob '' . The word McJob , first attested in the mid-1980s and later popularized by Canadian novelist Douglas Coupland in his book Generation X , has become a buzz word for low - paid , unskilled work with few prospects or benefits and little security . McDonald 's disputes this definition of McJob . In 2007 , the company launched an advertising campaign with the slogan `` Would you like a career with that ? '' on Irish television , asserting that its jobs have good prospects . In an effort to respond to growing consumer awareness of food provenance , the fast - food chain changed its supplier of both coffee beans and milk . UK chief executive Steve Easterbrook said : `` British consumers are increasingly interested in the quality , sourcing , and ethics of the food and drink they buy '' . In a bid to tap into the ethical consumer market , McDonald 's switched to using coffee beans taken from stocks that are certified by the Rainforest Alliance , a conservation group . Additionally , in response to pressure , McDonald 's UK started using organic milk supplies for its bottled milk and hot drinks , although it still uses conventional milk in its milkshakes , and in all of its dairy products in the United States . According to a report published by Farmers Weekly in 2007 , the quantity of milk used by McDonald 's could have accounted for as much as 5 percent of the UK 's organic milk output . McDonald 's announced on May 22 , 2008 , that , in the United States and Canada , it would switch to using cooking oil that contains no trans fats for its french fries , and canola - based oil with corn and soy oils , for its baked items , pies and cookies , by year 's end . With regard to acquiring chickens from suppliers who use CAK / CAS methods of slaughter , McDonald 's says that it needs to see more research `` to help determine whether any CAS system in current use is optimal from an animal welfare perspective . '' Environmental record In April 2008 , McDonald 's announced that 11 of its Sheffield , England restaurants have been engaged in a biomass trial that had cut its waste and carbon footprint by half in the area . In this trial , wastes from the restaurants were collected by Veolia Environmental Services and were used to produce energy at a power plant . McDonald 's plans to expand this project , although the lack of biomass power plants in the United States will prevent this plan from becoming a national standard anytime soon . In addition , in Europe , McDonald 's has been recycling vegetable grease by converting it to fuel for its diesel trucks . McDonald 's has been using a corn - based bioplastic to produce containers for some of its products . The environmental benefits of this technology are controversial , with critics noting that biodegradation is slow , produces greenhouse gases and that contamination of traditional plastic waste streams with bioplastics can complicate recycling efforts . In 1990 , McDonald 's worked with the Environmental Defense Fund to stop using `` clam shell '' shaped styrofoam food containers to house its food products . 20 years later , McDonald 's announced they would try replacing styrofoam coffee cups with an alternative material . The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has recognized McDonald 's continuous effort to reduce solid waste by designing more efficient packaging and by promoting the use of recycled - content materials . McDonald 's reports that it is committed towards environmental leadership by effectively managing electric energy , by conserving natural resources through recycling and reusing materials , and by addressing water management issues within the restaurant . In an effort to reduce energy usage by 25 percent in its restaurants , McDonald 's opened a prototype restaurant in Chicago in 2009 with the intention of using the model in its other restaurants throughout the world . Building on past efforts , specifically a restaurant it opened in Sweden in 2000 that was the first to intentionally incorporate green ideas , McDonald 's designed the Chicago site to save energy by incorporating old and new ideas such as managing storm water , using skylights for more natural lighting and installing some partitions and tabletops made from recycled goods . When McDonald 's received criticism for its environmental policies in the 1970s , it began to make substantial progress in reducing its use of materials . For instance , an `` average meal '' in the 1970s -- a Big Mac , fries , and a drink -- required 46 grams of packaging ; today , it requires only 25 grams , allowing a 46 percent reduction . In addition , McDonald 's eliminated the need for intermediate containers for cola by having a delivery system that pumps syrup directly from the delivery truck into storage containers , saving two million pounds ( 910 tonnes ) of packaging annually . Overall , weight reductions in packaging and products , as well as the increased usage of bulk packaging ultimately decreased packaging by twenty - four million pounds ( 11,000 tonnes ) annually . Legal cases Main article : McDonald 's legal cases McDonald 's has been involved in a number of lawsuits and other legal cases , most of which involved trademark disputes . The company has threatened many food businesses with legal action unless it drops the Mc or Mac from trading names . Malaysia On September 8 , 2009 , McDonald 's Malaysian operations lost a lawsuit to prevent another restaurant calling itself McCurry . McDonald 's lost in an appeal to Malaysia 's highest court , the Federal Court . Australia In April 2007 , in Perth , Western Australia , McDonald 's pleaded guilty to five charges relating to the employment of children under 15 in one of its outlets and was fined A $8,000 . In 2016 , the Australian Taxation Office revealed that McDonald 's Asia - Pacific Consortium had generated $478 million in revenue in 2013 -- 14 , but had paid no tax on those earnings whatsoever . United Kingdom McDonald 's has defended itself in several cases involving workers ' rights . The longest running legal action of all time in the UK was the McLibel case against 2 defendants who criticized a number of aspects of the company . The trial lasted 10 years and called 130 witnesses . The European Court of Human Rights deemed that the unequal resources of the litigants breached the defendants rights to freedom of speech and biased the trial . The result was widely seen as a `` PR disaster . '' United States A famous legal case in the US involving McDonald 's was the 1994 decision in Liebeck v. McDonald 's Restaurants where Stella Liebeck was awarded several million dollars after she suffered third - degree burns after spilling a scalding cup of McDonald 's coffee on herself . Use of genetically modified food In April 2014 , it was reported that McDonald 's in Europe will use chicken meat that was produced by using genetically modified animal feed . Greenpeace argues that McDonald 's saves less than one Eurocent for each chicken burger and goes down a path not desired by its customers .

It features calculation , graphing tools , pivot tables , and a macro programming language called Visual Basic for Applications . It has been a very widely applied spreadsheet for these platforms , especially since version 5 in 1993 , and it has replaced Lotus 1 - 2 - 3 as the industry standard for spreadsheets . Excel forms part of Microsoft Office . In one Excel sheet are now 407 632x1 048 576 cells , so there are 427 428 937 728 cells . The last cell is named XFD1048576 .

It has a battery of supplied functions to answer statistical , engineering and financial needs . In addition , it can display data as line graphs , histograms and charts , and with a very limited three - dimensional graphical display . It allows sectioning of data to view its dependencies on various factors for different perspectives ( using pivot tables and the scenario manager ) . It has a programming aspect , Visual Basic for Applications , allowing the user to employ a wide variety of numerical methods , for example , for solving differential equations of mathematical physics , and then reporting the results back to the spreadsheet . It also has a variety of interactive features allowing user interfaces that can completely hide the spreadsheet from the user , so the spreadsheet presents itself as a so - called application , or decision support system ( DSS ) , via a custom - designed user interface , for example , a stock analyzer , or in general , as a design tool that asks the user questions and provides answers and reports . In a more elaborate realization , an Excel application can automatically poll external databases and measuring instruments using an update schedule , analyze the results , make a Word report or PowerPoint slide show , and e-mail these presentations on a regular basis to a list of participants . Excel was not designed to be used as a database . Use of a user - defined function sq ( x ) in Microsoft Excel . The named variables x & y are identified in the Name Manager . The function sq is introduced using the Visual Basic editor supplied with Excel . Subroutine in Excel calculates the square of named column variable x read from the spreadsheet , and writes it into the named column variable y . Graph made using Microsoft Excel Microsoft allows for a number of optional command - line switches to control the manner in which Excel starts . Macro programming VBA programming Main article : Visual Basic for Applications The Windows version of Excel supports programming through Microsoft 's Visual Basic for Applications ( VBA ) , which is a dialect of Visual Basic . Programming with VBA allows spreadsheet manipulation that is awkward or impossible with standard spreadsheet techniques . Programmers may write code directly using the Visual Basic Editor ( VBE ) , which includes a window for writing code , debugging code , and code module organization environment . The user can implement numerical methods as well as automating tasks such as formatting or data organization in VBA and guide the calculation using any desired intermediate results reported back to the spreadsheet . VBA was removed from Mac Excel 2008 , as the developers did not believe that a timely release would allow porting the VBA engine natively to Mac OS X . VBA was restored in the next version , Mac Excel 2011 , although the build lacks support for ActiveX objects , impacting some high level developer tools . A common and easy way to generate VBA code is by using the Macro Recorder . The Macro Recorder records actions of the user and generates VBA code in the form of a macro . These actions can then be repeated automatically by running the macro . The macros can also be linked to different trigger types like keyboard shortcuts , a command button or a graphic . The actions in the macro can be executed from these trigger types or from the generic toolbar options . The VBA code of the macro can also be edited in the VBE . Certain features such as loop functions and screen prompt by their own properties , and some graphical display items , can not be recorded but must be entered into the VBA module directly by the programmer . Advanced users can employ user prompts to create an interactive program , or react to events such as sheets being loaded or changed . Macro Recorded code may not be compatible with Excel versions . Some code that is used in Excel 2010 can not be used in Excel 2003 . Making a Macro that changes the cell colours and making changes to other aspects of cells may not be backward compatible . VBA code interacts with the spreadsheet through the Excel Object Model , a vocabulary identifying spreadsheet objects , and a set of supplied functions or methods that enable reading and writing to the spreadsheet and interaction with its users ( for example , through custom toolbars or command bars and message boxes ) . User - created VBA subroutines execute these actions and operate like macros generated using the macro recorder , but are more flexible and efficient . History From its first version Excel supported end user programming of macros ( automation of repetitive tasks ) and user defined functions ( extension of Excel 's built - in function library ) . In early versions of Excel these programs were written in a macro language whose statements had formula syntax and resided in the cells of special purpose macro sheets ( stored with file extension . XLM in Windows . ) XLM was the default macro language for Excel through Excel 4.0 . Beginning with version 5.0 Excel recorded macros in VBA by default but with version 5.0 XLM recording was still allowed as an option . After version 5.0 that option was discontinued . All versions of Excel , including Excel 2010 are capable of running an XLM macro , though Microsoft discourages their use . Charts Excel supports charts , graphs , or histograms generated from specified groups of cells . The generated graphic component can either be embedded within the current sheet , or added as a separate object . These displays are dynamically updated if the content of cells change . For example , suppose that the important design requirements are displayed visually ; then , in response to a user 's change in trial values for parameters , the curves describing the design change shape , and their points of intersection shift , assisting the selection of the best design . Data storage and communication Number of rows and columns Versions of Excel up to 7.0 had a limitation in the size of their data sets of 16K ( 2 = 7004163840000000000 ♠ 16 384 ) rows . Versions 8.0 through 11.0 could handle 64K ( 2 = 7004655360000000000 ♠ 65 536 ) rows and 256 columns ( 2 as label ' IV ' ) . Version 12.0 can handle 1M ( 2 = 7006104857600000000 ♠ 1048576 ) rows , and 7004163840000000000 ♠ 16 384 ( 2 as label ' XFD ' ) columns . File formats Excel Spreadsheet Filename extension . xls , (. xlsx , . xlsm , . xlsb - Excel 2007 ) Internet media type application / vnd. ms - excel Uniform Type Identifier ( UTI ) com. microsoft. excel. xls Developed by Microsoft Type of format Spreadsheet Microsoft Excel up until 2007 version used a proprietary binary file format called Excel Binary File Format (. XLS ) as its primary format . Excel 2007 uses Office Open XML as its primary file format , an XML - based format that followed after a previous XML - based format called `` XML Spreadsheet '' ( `` XMLSS '' ) , first introduced in Excel 2002 . Although supporting and encouraging the use of new XML - based formats as replacements , Excel 2007 remained backwards - compatible with the traditional , binary formats . In addition , most versions of Microsoft Excel can read CSV , DBF , SYLK , DIF , and other legacy formats . Support for some older file formats was removed in Excel 2007 . The file formats were mainly from DOS - based programs . Binary OpenOffice.org has created documentation of the Excel format . Since then Microsoft made the Excel binary format specification available to freely download . XML Spreadsheet Main article : Microsoft Office XML formats The XML Spreadsheet format introduced in Excel 2002 is a simple , XML based format missing some more advanced features like storage of VBA macros . Though the intended file extension for this format is . xml , the program also correctly handles XML files with . xls extension . This feature is widely used by third - party applications ( e.g. MySQL Query Browser ) to offer `` export to Excel '' capabilities without implementing binary file format . The following example will be correctly opened by Excel if saved either as Book1. xml or Book1. xls : < ? xml version = `` 1.0 '' ? > < Workbook xmlns = `` urn : schemas - microsoft - com : office : spreadsheet '' xmlns : o = `` urn : schemas - microsoft - com : office : office '' xmlns : x = `` urn : schemas - microsoft - com : office : excel '' xmlns : ss = `` urn : schemas - microsoft - com : office : spreadsheet '' xmlns : html = `` http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40 '' > < Worksheet ss : Name = `` Sheet1 '' > < Table ss : ExpandedColumnCount = `` 2 '' ss : ExpandedRowCount = `` 2 '' x : FullColumns = `` 1 '' x : FullRows = `` 1 '' > < Row > < Cell > < Data ss : Type = `` String '' > Name < / Data > < / Cell > < Cell > < Data ss : Type = `` String '' > Example < / Data > < / Cell > < / Row > < Row > < Cell > < Data ss : Type = `` String '' > Value < / Data > < / Cell > < Cell > < Data ss : Type = `` Number '' > 123 < / Data > < / Cell > < / Row > < / Table > < / Worksheet > < / Workbook > Current file extensions Main article : Office Open XML Microsoft Excel 2007 , along with the other products in the Microsoft Office 2007 suite , introduced new file formats . The first of these (. xlsx ) is defined in the Office Open XML ( OOXML ) specification . Excel 2007 formats Format Extension Description Excel Workbook . xlsx The default Excel 2007 and later workbook format . In reality a ZIP compressed archive with a directory structure of XML text documents . Functions as the primary replacement for the former binary . xls format , although it does not support Excel macros for security reasons . Excel Macro-enabled Workbook . xlsm As Excel Workbook , but with macro support . Excel Binary Workbook . xlsb As Excel Macro-enabled Workbook , but storing information in binary form rather than XML documents for opening and saving documents more quickly and efficiently . Intended especially for very large documents with tens of thousands of rows , and / or several hundreds of columns . Excel Macro-enabled Template . xltm A template document that forms a basis for actual workbooks , with macro support . The replacement for the old . xlt format . Excel Add - in . xlam Excel add - in to add extra functionality and tools . Inherent macro support because of the file purpose . Old file extensions Format Extension Description Spreadsheet . xls Main spreadsheet format which holds data in worksheets , charts , and macros Add - in ( VBA ) . xla Adds custom functionality ; written in VBA Toolbar . xlb The file extension where Microsoft Excel custom toolbar settings are stored . Chart . xlc A chart created with data from a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet that only saves the chart . To save the chart and spreadsheet save as . XLS . XLC is not supported in Excel 2007 or in any newer versions of Excel . Dialog . xld Used in older versions of Excel . Archive . xlk A backup of an Excel Spreadsheet Add - in ( DLL ) . xll Adds custom functionality ; written in C++ / C , Visual Basic , Fortran , etc. and compiled in to a special dynamic - link library Macro . xlm A macro is created by the user or pre-installed with Excel . Template . xlt A pre-formatted spreadsheet created by the user or by Microsoft Excel . Module . xlv A module is written in VBA ( Visual Basic for Applications ) for Microsoft Excel Library . DLL Code written in VBA may access functions in a DLL , typically this is used to access the Windows API Workspace . xlw Arrangement of the windows of multiple Workbooks Using other Windows applications Windows applications such as Microsoft Access and Microsoft Word , as well as Excel can communicate with each other and use each other 's capabilities . The most common are Dynamic Data Exchange : although strongly deprecated by Microsoft , this is a common method to send data between applications running on Windows , with official MS publications referring to it as `` the protocol from hell '' . As the name suggests , it allows applications to supply data to others for calculation and display . It is very common in financial markets , being used to connect to important financial data services such as Bloomberg and Reuters . OLE Object Linking and Embedding : allows a Windows application to control another to enable it to format or calculate data . This may take on the form of `` embedding '' where an application uses another to handle a task that it is more suited to , for example a PowerPoint presentation may be embedded in an Excel spreadsheet or vice versa . Using external data Excel users can access external data sources via Microsoft Office features such as ( for example ) . odc connections built with the Office Data Connection file format . Excel files themselves may be updated using a Microsoft supplied ODBC driver . Excel can accept data in real time through several programming interfaces , which allow it to communicate with many data sources such as Bloomberg and Reuters ( through addins such as Power Plus Pro ) . DDE : `` Dynamic Data Exchange '' uses the message passing mechanism in Windows to allow data to flow between Excel and other applications . Although it is easy for users to create such links , programming such links reliably is so difficult that Microsoft , the creators of the system , officially refer to it as `` the protocol from hell '' . In spite of its many issues DDE remains the most common way for data to reach traders in financial markets . Network DDE Extended the protocol to allow spreadsheets on different computers to exchange data . Starting with Windows Vista , Microsoft no longer supports the facility . Real Time Data : RTD although in many ways technically superior to DDE , has been slow to gain acceptance , since it requires non-trivial programming skills , and when first released was neither adequately documented nor supported by the major data vendors . Alternatively , Microsoft Query provides ODBC - based browsing within Microsoft Excel . Export and migration of spreadsheets Programmers have produced APIs to open Excel spreadsheets in a variety of applications and environments other than Microsoft Excel . These include opening Excel documents on the web using either ActiveX controls , or plugins like the Adobe Flash Player . The Apache POI opensource project provides Java libraries for reading and writing Excel spreadsheet files . ExcelPackage is another open - source project that provides server - side generation of Microsoft Excel 2007 spreadsheets . PHPExcel is a PHP library that converts Excel5 , Excel 2003 , and Excel 2007 formats into objects for reading and writing within a web application . Excel Services is a current . NET developer tool that can enhance Excel 's capabilities . Excel spreadsheets can be accessed from Python with xlrd and openpyxl . js - xlsx and js - xls can open Excel spreadsheets from JS . Password protection Main article : Microsoft Office password protection Microsoft Excel protection offers several types of passwords : Password to open a document Password to modify a document Password to unprotect worksheet Password to protect workbook Password to protect the sharing workbook All passwords except password to open a document can be removed instantly regardless of Microsoft Excel version used to create the document . These types of passwords are used primarily for shared work on a document . Such password - protected documents are not encrypted , and a data sources from a set password is saved in a document 's header . Password to protect workbook is an exception -- when it is set , a document is encrypted with the standard password `` VelvetSweatshop '' , but since it is known to public , it actually does not add any extra protection to the document . The only type of password that can prevent a trespasser from gaining access to a document is password to open a document . The cryptographic strength of this kind of protection depends strongly on the Microsoft Excel version that was used to create the document . In Microsoft Excel 95 and earlier versions , password to open is converted to a 16 - bit key that can be instantly cracked . In Excel 97 / 2000 the password is converted to a 40 - bit key , which can also be cracked very quickly using modern equipment . As regards services which use rainbow tables ( e.g. Password - Find ) , it takes up to several seconds to remove protection . In addition , password - cracking programs can brute - force attack passwords at a rate of hundreds of thousands of passwords a second , which not only lets them decrypt a document , but also find the original password . In Excel 2003 / XP the encryption is slightly better -- a user can choose any encryption algorithm that is available in the system ( see Cryptographic Service Provider ) . Due to the CSP , an Excel file ca n't be decrypted , and thus the password to open ca n't be removed , though the brute - force attack speed remains quite high . Nevertheless , the older Excel 97 / 2000 algorithm is set by the default . Therefore , users who did not changed the default settings lack reliable protection of their documents . The situation changed fundamentally in Excel 2007 , where the modern AES algorithm with a key of 128 bits started being used for decryption , and a 50,000-fold use of the hash function SHA1 reduced the speed of brute - force attacks down to hundreds of passwords per second . In Excel 2010 , the strength of the protection by the default was increased two times due to the use of a 100,000-fold SHA1 to convert a password to a key . Microsoft Excel Viewer Microsoft Excel Viewer is a freeware program for viewing and printing spreadsheet documents created by Excel . Excel Viewer is similar to Microsoft Word Viewer in functionality . ( There is not a current version for the Mac . ) Excel Viewer is available for Microsoft Windows and Windows CE handheld PCs , such as the NEC MobilePro . It is also possible to open Excel files using certain online tools and services . Online excel viewers do not require users to have Microsoft Excel installed . Quirks Further information : Spreadsheet § Shortcomings Other errors specific to Excel include misleading statistics functions , mod function errors , date limitations and the Excel 2007 error . Statistical functions The accuracy and convenience of statistical tools in Excel has been criticized , as mishandling missing data , as returning incorrect values due to inept handling of round - off and large numbers , as only selectively updating calculations on a spreadsheet when some cell values are changed , and as having a limited set of statistical tools . Microsoft has announced some of these issues are addressed in Excel 2010 . Excel MOD function error Excel has issues with modulo operations . In the case of excessively large results , Excel will return the error warning # NUM ! instead of an answer . Fictional leap day in the year 1900 Excel includes February 29 , 1900 , incorrectly treating 1900 as a leap year , even though e.g. 2100 is correctly treated as a regular year . The bug originated from Lotus 1 - 2 - 3 ( deliberately implemented to save computer memory ) , and was also purposely implemented in Excel , for the purpose of bug compatibility . This legacy has later been carried over into Office Open XML file format . Thus a ( not necessarily whole ) number greater than or equal to 61 interpreted as a date and time is the ( real ) number of days after December 30 , 1899 , 0 : 00 , a non-negative number less than 60 is the number of days after December 31 , 1899 , 0 : 00 , and numbers with whole part 60 represent the fictional day . Date range Excel supports dates with years in the range 1900 - 9999 , except that December 31 , 1899 can be entered as 0 and is displayed as 0 - jan - 1900 . Converting a fraction of a day into hours , minutes and days by treating it as a moment on the day January 1 , 1900 , does not work for a negative fraction . Conversion problems Entering text that happens to be in a form that is interpreted as a date , the text can be unintentionally changed to a standard date format . A similar problem occurs when a text happens to be in the form of a floating point notation of a number . In these cases the original exact text can not be recovered from the result . In the case of entering gene names this is a well known problem in the analysis of DNA , for example in bioinformatics . The problem was first described in 2004 . Filenames Microsoft Excel will not open two documents with the same name and instead will display the following error : A document with the name ' % s ' is already open . You can not open two documents with the same name , even if the documents are in different folders . To open the second document , either close the document that is currently open , or rename one of the documents . The reason is for calculation ambiguity with linked cells . If there is a cell = ' ( Book1. xlsx ) Sheet1 ' ! $ G $33 , and there are two books named `` Book1 '' open , there is no way to tell which one the user means . Numeric precision Main article : Numeric precision in Microsoft Excel Excel maintains 15 figures in its numbers , but they are not always accurate : the bottom line should be the same as the top line . Despite the use of 15 - figure precision , Excel can display many more figures ( up to thirty ) upon user request . But the displayed figures are not those actually used in its computations , and so , for example , the difference of two numbers may differ from the difference of their displayed values . Although such departures are usually beyond the 15th decimal , exceptions do occur , especially for very large or very small numbers . Serious errors can occur if decisions are made based upon automated comparisons of numbers ( for example , using the Excel If function ) , as equality of two numbers can be unpredictable . In the figure the fraction 1 / 9000 is displayed in Excel . Although this number has a decimal representation that is an infinite string of ones , Excel displays only the leading 15 figures . In the second line , the number one is added to the fraction , and again Excel displays only 15 figures . In the third line , one is subtracted from the sum using Excel . Because the sum in the second line has only eleven 1 's after the decimal , the difference when 1 is subtracted from this displayed value is three 0 's followed by a string of eleven 1 's . However , the difference reported by Excel in the third line is three 0 's followed by a string of thirteen 1 's and two extra erroneous digits . This is because Excel calculates with about half a digit more than it displays . Excel works with a modified 1985 version of the IEEE 754 specification . Excel 's implementation involves conversions between binary and decimal representations , leading to accuracy that is on average better than one would expect from simple fifteen digit precision , but that can be worse . See the main article for details . Besides accuracy in user computations , the question of accuracy in Excel - provided functions may be raised . Particularly in the arena of statistical functions , Excel has been criticized for sacrificing accuracy for speed of calculation . As many calculations in Excel are executed using VBA , an additional issue is the accuracy of VBA , which varies with variable type and user - requested precision . Content type auto - detection In 2004 scientists reported automatic ( and inadvertent ) conversion of gene nomenclature into dates . A follow - up study in 2016 found many peer reviewed scientific journal papers had been affected and that `` Of the selected journals , the proportion of published articles with Excel files containing gene lists that are affected by gene name errors is 19.6 % . Excel parses the copied and pasted data and sometimes changes them depending on what it thinks they are . For example , MARCH1 ( Membrane Associated Ring - CH - type finger 1 ) gets converted to the date March 1 ( 1 - Mar ) and SEPT2 ( Septin 2 ) is converted into September 2 ( 2 - Sep ) etc . While some secondary news sources reported this as a fault with Excel , the original authors of the 2016 paper placed the blame with the researchers mis - using Excel . Versions Early history Microsoft originally marketed a spreadsheet program called Multiplan in 1982 . Multiplan became very popular on CP / M systems , but on MS - DOS systems it lost popularity to Lotus 1 - 2 - 3 . Microsoft released the first version of Excel for the Macintosh on September 30 , 1985 , and the first Windows version was 2.05 ( to synchronize with the Macintosh version 2.2 ) in November 1987 . Lotus was slow to bring 1 - 2 - 3 to Windows and by the early 1990s Excel had started to outsell 1 - 2 - 3 and helped Microsoft achieve its position as a leading PC software developer . This accomplishment solidified Microsoft as a valid competitor and showed its future of developing GUI software . Microsoft maintained its advantage with regular new releases , every two years or so . Microsoft Windows Excel 2.0 is the first version of Excel for the Intel platform . Versions prior to 2.0 were only available on the Apple Macintosh . Excel 2.0 ( 1987 ) The first Windows version was labeled `` 2 '' to correspond to the Mac version . This included a run - time version of Windows . BYTE in 1989 listed Excel for Windows as among the `` Distinction '' winners of the BYTE Awards . The magazine stated that the port of the `` extraordinary '' Macintosh version `` shines '' , with a user interface as good as or better than the original . Excel 30 ( 1990 ) Included toolbars , drawing capabilities , outlining , add - in support , 3D charts , and many more new features . Excel 4.0 ( 1992 ) Introduced auto - fill . Also , an easter egg in Excel 4.0 reveals a hidden animation of a dancing set of numbers 1 through 3 , representing Lotus 1 - 2 - 3 , which was then crushed by an Excel logo . Excel 5.0 ( 1993 ) With version 5.0 , Excel has included Visual Basic for Applications ( VBA ) , a programming language based on Visual Basic which adds the ability to automate tasks in Excel and to provide user - defined functions ( UDF ) for use in worksheets . VBA is a powerful addition to the application and includes a fully featured integrated development environment ( IDE ) . Macro recording can produce VBA code replicating user actions , thus allowing simple automation of regular tasks . VBA allows the creation of forms and in ‐ worksheet controls to communicate with the user . The language supports use ( but not creation ) of ActiveX ( COM ) DLL 's ; later versions add support for class modules allowing the use of basic object - oriented programming techniques . The automation functionality provided by VBA made Excel a target for macro viruses . This caused serious problems until antivirus products began to detect these viruses . Microsoft belatedly took steps to prevent the misuse by adding the ability to disable macros completely , to enable macros when opening a workbook or to trust all macros signed using a trusted certificate . Versions 5.0 to 9.0 of Excel contain various Easter eggs , including a `` Hall of Tortured Souls '' , although since version 10 Microsoft has taken measures to eliminate such undocumented features from their products . 5.0 was released in a 16 - bit x86 version for Windows 3.1 and later in a 32 - bit version for NT 3.51 ( x86 / Alpha / PowerPC ) Excel 95 ( v7. 0 ) Microsoft Excel 95 Released in 1995 with Microsoft Office for Windows 95 , this is the first major version after Excel 5.0 , as there is no Excel 6.0 with all of the Office applications standardizing on the same major version number . Internal rewrite to 32 - bits . Almost no external changes , but faster and more stable . Excel 97 ( v8. 0 ) Included in Office 97 ( for x86 and Alpha ) . This was a major upgrade that introduced the paper clip office assistant and featured standard VBA used instead of internal Excel Basic . It introduced the now - removed Natural Language labels . This version of Excel includes a flight simulator as an Easter Egg . Excel 2000 ( v9. 0 ) Microsoft Excel 2000 Included in Office 2000 . This was a minor upgrade , but introduced an upgrade to the clipboard where it can hold multiple objects at once . The Office Assistant , whose frequent unsolicited appearance in Excel 97 had annoyed many users , became less intrusive . Excel 2002 ( v10. 0 ) Included in Office XP . Very minor enhancements . Excel 2003 ( v11. 0 ) Included in Office 2003 . Minor enhancements , most significant being the new Tables . Excel 2007 ( v12. 0 ) Microsoft Excel 2007 Included in Office 2007 . This release was a major upgrade from the previous version . Similar to other updated Office products , Excel in 2007 used the new Ribbon menu system . This was different from what users were used to , and was met with mixed reactions . One study reported fairly good acceptance by users except highly experienced users and users of word processing applications with a classical WIMP interface , but was less convinced in terms of efficiency and organisation . However , an online survey reported that a majority of respondents had a negative opinion of the change , with advanced users being `` somewhat more negative '' than intermediate users , and users reporting a self - estimated reduction in productivity . Added functionality included the SmartArt set of editable business diagrams . Also added was an improved management of named variables through the Name Manager , and much improved flexibility in formatting graphs , which allow ( x , y ) coordinate labeling and lines of arbitrary weight . Several improvements to pivot tables were introduced . Also like other office products , the Office Open XML file formats were introduced , including . xlsm for a workbook with macros and . xlsx for a workbook without macros . Specifically , many of the size limitations of previous versions were greatly increased . To illustrate , the number of rows was now 1,048,576 ( 2 ) and columns was 16,384 ( 2 ; the far - right column is XFD ) . This changes what is a valid A1 reference versus a named range . This version made more extensive use of multiple cores for the calculation of spreadsheets ; however , VBA macros are not handled in parallel and XLL add ‐ ins were only executed in parallel if they were thread - safe and this was indicated at registration . Excel 2010 ( v14. 0 ) Microsoft Excel 2010 running on Windows 7 Included in Office 2010 , this is the next major version after v12. 0 , as version number 13 was skipped . Minor enhancements and 64 - bit support , including the following : Multi-threading recalculation ( MTR ) for commonly used functions Improved pivot tables More conditional formatting options Additional image editing capabilities In - cell charts called sparklines Ability to preview before pasting Office 2010 backstage feature for document - related tasks Ability to customize the Ribbon Many new formulas , most highly specialized to improve accuracy Excel 2013 ( v15. 0 ) Included in Office 2013 , along with a lot of new tools included in this release : Improved Multi-threading and Memory Contention FlashFill Power View Power Pivot Timeline Slicer Windows App Inquire 50 new functions Excel 2016 ( v16. 0 ) Included in Office 2016 , along with a lot of new tools included in this release : Power Query integration Read - only mode for Excel Keyboard access for Pivot Tables and Slicers in Excel New Chart Types Quick data linking in Visio Excel forecasting functions Support for multi-selection of Slicer items using touch Time grouping and Pivot Chart Drill Down Excel data cards Apple Macintosh Microsoft Excel for Mac 2011 1985 Excel 1.0 1988 Excel 1.5 1989 Excel 2.2 1990 Excel 3.0 1992 Excel 4.0 1993 Excel 5.0 ( part of Office 4. x -- Final Motorola 680x0 version and first PowerPC version ) 1998 Excel 8.0 ( part of Office 98 ) 2000 Excel 9.0 ( part of Office 2001 ) 2001 Excel 10.0 ( part of Office v.

Discontinued subseries of Microsoft Excel , which is otherwise still an actively developed program . Impact Excel offers many user interface tweaks over the earliest electronic spreadsheets ; however , the essence remains the same as in the original spreadsheet software , VisiCalc : the program displays cells organized in rows and columns , and each cell may contain data or a formula , with relative or absolute references to other cells . Excel 2.0 for Windows , which was modeled after its Mac GUI - based counterpart , indirectly expanded the installed base of the then - nascent Windows environment . Excel 2.0 was released a month before Windows 2.0 , and the installed base of Windows was so low at that point in 1987 that Microsoft had to bundle a runtime version of Windows 1.0 with Excel 2.0 . Unlike Microsoft Word , there never was a DOS version of Excel . Excel became the first spreadsheet to allow the user to define the appearance of spreadsheets ( fonts , character attributes and cell appearance ) . It also introduced intelligent cell recomputation , where only cells dependent on the cell being modified are updated ( previous spreadsheet programs recomputed everything all the time or waited for a specific user command ) . Excel introduced auto - fill , the ability to drag and expand the selection box to automatically copy cell or row contents to adjacent cells or rows , adjusting the copies intelligently by automatically incrementing cell references or contents . Excel also introduced extensive graphing capabilities . Security Because Excel is widely used , it has been attacked by hackers . While Excel is not directly exposed to the Internet , if an attacker can get a victim to open a file in Excel , and there is an appropriate security bug in Excel , then the attacker can get control of the victim 's computer . UK 's GCHQ has a tool named TORNADO ALLEY with this purpose .

He was created by Walon Green and René Balcer , and was portrayed by Jerry Orbach . He was featured on the show for 12 seasons , from 1992 to 2004 , making him one of the longest - serving main characters in the series ' 20 - year - run history , as well as the longest - serving police detective on the show . He also appeared in three Law & Order spin - offs , and was part of the original cast of Law & Order : Trial by Jury , appearing in only the first two episodes due to Orbach 's death . He appears in 282 episodes ( 273 episodes of Law & Order , two episodes of Law & Order : Trial by Jury , one episode of Law & Order : Criminal Intent , three episodes of Law & Order : Special Victims Unit , and three episodes of Homicide : Life on the Street ) , the TV movie Exiled and the Law & Order video games Dead on the Money , Double or Nothing , Justice is Served and Legacies . Orbach 's performance as Briscoe on the New York - based series was so popular that it resulted in him being declared a `` Living Landmark '' by the New York Landmarks Conservancy , along with fellow longtime series cast member Sam Waterston ( who portrayed the prosecutor Jack McCoy on the show ) . Contents ( hide ) 1 Law & Order universe 2 Character biography 3 Character highlights 4 Spin - offs 4.1 Appearances 5 Death 6 Reception 7 References Law & Order universe ( edit ) Lennie Briscoe is introduced in the 1992 episode `` Point of View '' as the new senior detective in the New York City Police Department 's 27th Detective Squad in the 27th Police Precinct 's station house . In the episode `` Virus '' , his birthday is given as January 2 , 1940 . His superior officer during his first season on the show is Capt . Donald Cragen ( Dann Florek ) ; a year later , Lt. Anita Van Buren ( S. Epatha Merkerson ) takes over the 27th Squad . He was previously assigned as a detective in the 116th Det . Squad in Queens . Briscoe joins the squad after Det . Mike Logan 's ( Chris Noth ) partner , Sgt . Phil Cerreta ( Paul Sorvino ) , is shot by a black market arms dealer and transfers to a desk job in another precinct . After Logan is transferred to Staten Island in 1995 , Det . Rey Curtis ( Benjamin Bratt ) becomes Briscoe 's partner . Four years later , Curtis goes into early retirement to take care of his multiple sclerosis -- stricken wife , and he is replaced by Det . Ed Green ( Jesse L. Martin ) in 1999 . Character biography ( edit ) Born on January 2 , 1940 , Lennie Briscoe grew up in the Meatpacking District of Manhattan . He had a brother . As a child , he attended P.S. 21 , as his father had before him , as well as P.S. 189 . He attended college at the City College of New York . A veteran of two failed marriages , Briscoe has two daughters by his first wife , the elder Julia and the younger Cathy ( Jennifer Bill ) , and a nephew , Det . Ken Briscoe ( played by Orbach 's son , Chris ) . Cathy was born on June 23 , 1971 and was murdered on March 4 , 1998 . By 2002 , he had at least two grandchildren . Prior to working for the NYPD , Briscoe worked at his uncle 's liquor store Briscoe began working in the NYPD homicide department in 1981 . Like most detective characters on the early seasons of the show , Briscoe carries a Smith & Wesson Model 36 revolver as his service weapon . He is a recovering alcoholic . He often makes references to being a `` friend of Bill W . '' , which is a reference to his having attended Alcoholics Anonymous . In the 1996 episode `` Aftershock '' , after witnessing an execution from a case that he helped investigate , Briscoe falls off the wagon with disastrous results ; ADA Claire Kincaid ( Jill Hennessy ) is struck and killed by a drunk driver while driving him home from a bar . He feels responsible for her death , and he remains sober for the rest of his life . His drinking harmed his family ; he was often absent from his daughters ' lives , and they have distant , fractious relationships with him as adults . Briscoe blames himself , especially when Cathy , a methamphetamine addict , is murdered by a drug dealer named Danny Jones after she testifies against him in court . However , he finds closure when Jones dies from a heroin overdose . It is implied that Briscoe considered having Jones killed . One of Briscoe 's former snitches had offered to kill Jones if Briscoe could get his charges reduced . Briscoe is later seen talking to the arresting officer about the snitch , but it is never confirmed if Briscoe did him the favor . Briscoe was raised Catholic , but is Jewish on his father 's side and occasionally attends Jewish services as a courtesy to his first wife . His father served in the United States Army during World War II and helped to liberate a Nazi concentration camp in German - occupied Poland . Briscoe 's father suffered from Alzheimer 's and had died by 1994 . Briscoe did not get along with his father and once described him as a `` schmuck '' . Nevertheless , he took several days off when he died . He mentions having voted for Al Gore in the 2000 U.S. presidential election . He supported the Iraq War . He plays golf , and he is also revealed to be a skilled pool player and is shown defeating an opponent in eight - ball after the break without giving up a turn . Character highlights ( edit ) Briscoe is one of many characters on the show to have served in the military ; he was at one point a corporal in the United States Army . On several occasions he has referred to his service in the Vietnam War . After leaving the Army , Briscoe joined the NYPD in the 29th Precinct in Manhattan and walked a beat there with stops at the 31st and 33rd Precincts , also in Manhattan , and the 110th and 116th Precincts in Queens , at some point reaching the rank of detective . In the 1999 episode `` Marathon '' , he is revealed to have spent three years in the Anti-Crime Unit . Briscoe 's detective shield number is 8220 . Briscoe typically has a wise - crack or joke about the victim or circumstances of death at the close of the opening scene , with the joke usually exhibiting a very deadpan delivery while at the same time being highly `` on target '' . He likes music , but mostly music that was popular in his youth ; in one episode , Rey Curtis chides his musical taste for stopping with Bobby Darin . Briscoe used to read Langston Hughes back when he was a beatnik `` for about five minutes '' because `` it used to work pretty good on Jewish girls from Riverdale . '' Many of Briscoe 's former partners and colleagues outside the series ( offscreen before Briscoe joined the 27th Precinct ) have been or ended up becoming corrupt . In the 1993 episode `` Jurisdiction '' , Detective Brian Torelli ( Dan Hedaya ) forced a confession from a mentally handicapped man ; at the end of the episode , Briscoe is present when Internal Affairs arrests Torelli for suborning perjury and obstruction of justice . In the 1994 episode `` Kids '' , the son of police Detetective Ted Parker ( Robert Hogan ) , a former colleague of Briscoe , is arrested for shooting another teenager . Parker and Briscoe have a private conversation during which Parker , speaking hypothetically , essentially relays to Briscoe that his son fired the shots in self defense . At the end of the episode , Parker acknowledges to Briscoe that he used his contacts in his old precinct to engineer the shooting death of a key prosecution witness in his son 's case ( resulting in a mistrial ) . Another of Briscoe 's former partners , Detective John Flynn ( Kevin Conway ) , falsely implicates him in the 1996 episode `` Corruption '' for taking seized drugs from the 116th Precinct evidence room ( given to him by Flynn ) during their stint there several years before . Flynn makes this allegation partly to throw off the Hellman Commission , which had been convened to investigate police corruption , including the questionable shooting death of a suspect by Flynn himself at the start of the episode , and partly as revenge against Curtis , who refused to falsely defend Flynn . Briscoe , however , has an alibi -- he was having an affair with Officer Betty Abrams ( Caroline Kava ) , a married woman . Against Briscoe 's wishes , Abrams testifies before the commission to exonerate him . Because of the affair , however , the commissioners question her credibility . Briscoe finally gets the truth out of Flynn with a hidden wire , but Flynn commits suicide before he can be further prosecuted . Briscoe is ultimately cleared . In the 2000 episode `` Amends '' , Briscoe has another reunion with one of his former colleagues that opens up some ugly history . While investigating a 20 - year - old cold case , Briscoe learns that one of his former bosses , Tommy Brannigan ( Brad Sullivan ) , had been convinced by his superior to accept bribes that helped promote him to lieutenant in exchange for letting a murder suspect go free . The now - retired Brannigan ultimately confesses to this in court , which helps Jack McCoy in convicting the suspect of the cold case . Briscoe later forgives Brannigan for his actions . Some decisions in Briscoe 's career are controversial . In the 1998 episode `` Stalker '' , a stalker accused of murdering a woman could have gone free because the police concluded that the victim had earlier lied to the police about previously being attacked by the stalker , thereby undermining the victim 's credibility . However , after the victim is found murdered , Briscoe approaches McCoy and tells him that he now believes that the victim did not lie to the police concerning the stalker 's earlier attacks and that he is willing to take the stand and state that the original police report was incorrect . His then - partner Rey Curtis was called by the defense to testify that he thought the original police report was correct . At the end of the episode , the stalker is found guilty ; outside the courtroom , Briscoe and Curtis reconcile . Shortly after Ed Green is assigned as Briscoe 's partner , the two nearly come to blows during a particularly difficult investigation of a robbery - homicide in the 1999 episode `` Marathon '' . Their primary suspect confesses as he is being arrested , but because Briscoe is the only officer within earshot , Green , Van Buren , and McCoy are placed in a difficult position with regard to the confession . Again , Briscoe is eventually vindicated , and Green and he work to rebuild their professional rapport . Briscoe retires in the 2004 episode `` C.O.D. '' after 12 years at the 27th Precinct and more than 30 years in the NYPD . His replacement at the 27th Precinct is Det . Joe Fontana ( Dennis Farina ) . Briscoe died at some point between 2004 and 2005 ( Orbach himself died on December 28 , 2004 ) . Although not addressed directly on the main series until 2008 ( and mentioned again in 2009 ) , his death was implied in 2005 and confirmed in 2007 on an episode of the Law & Order : Criminal Intent series . The three official mentions of his death were made by each of his three junior partners on the series , Mike Logan , Rey Curtis , and Ed Green . Spin - offs ( edit ) On the first season of Law & Order : Special Victims Unit , Briscoe makes three guest appearances assisting his old boss , Captain Cragen ( one of these reunions involves re-opening a serial murder case that Briscoe and Logan had failed to solve several years earlier in the 1994 episode `` Mayhem '' ) . Briscoe also makes a guest appearance in the Law & Order : Criminal Intent episode `` Poison '' , in which he assists the Major Case Squad on a similar case . He also appeared in three episodes of Homicide : Life on the Street . Soon after his retirement , Briscoe joins Law & Order : Trial by Jury , having accepted an appointment as an investigator in the office of New York County District Attorney Arthur Branch ( Fred Thompson ) , with partner Inv . Hector Salazar ( Kirk Acevedo ) . He appears in only the first two episodes of this series - `` The Abominable Showman '' and `` 41 Shots '' . Appearances ( edit ) Homicide : Life on the Street Season Four Episode 12 : `` For God and Country '' Season Six Episode 5 : `` Baby , It 's You '' Season Seven Episode 15 : `` Sideshow '' Law & Order : Special Victims Unit Season One Episode 3 : `` ... Or Just Look Like One '' Episode 4 : `` Hysteria '' Episode 15 : `` Entitled '' Law & Order : Criminal Intent Season One Episode 7 : `` Poison '' Death ( edit ) In 2005 , the Lennie Briscoe character was written out after the second episode of Trial By Jury ; coinciding with Orbach 's death on December 28 , 2004 , from prostate cancer . The character 's departure from the show was originally to be in the episode `` Baby Boom '' in which members of the DA 's office attend a memorial service for him . This scene was in fact filmed , but was not included in the aired episode . In the 2007 Criminal Intent episode `` Renewal '' , Mike Logan mentions that Briscoe has died , but that he still sees him alive in his dreams . In the 2008 Law & Order episode `` Burn Card '' , Ed Green says that he returned to gambling briefly after Briscoe died . In the 2009 Law & Order episode `` Fed '' , Rey Curtis returns to New York to bury his deceased wife Deborah , who had finally succumbed to complications related to multiple sclerosis . He reveals to Lt. Van Buren that he had spoken with Briscoe a few days before his death , and that he was his old wisecracking self right up to the end . Reception ( edit ) Lennie Briscoe was voted the 30th - greatest television show character of all time by Bravo TV . Lennie Briscoe was Law & Order 's third - greatest detective on the Hallmark Channel poll in 2010 , beaten only by Special Victims Unit Detective Olivia Benson , who came in second , and Criminal Intent Detective Robert Goren , who won the poll . Lennie Briscoe was ranked number 9 on Sleuth Channel 's poll of America 's Top Sleuths between Sherlock Holmes at number 10 and Gil Grissom of CSI at number 8 . Lennie Briscoe was named one of TV 's Smartest Detectives by AOL TV . Lennie Briscoe was ranked 15th on TV Guide 's list of the 25 greatest TV detectives . References ( edit ) Jump up ^ ( 1 ) .

Additionally , she is Head of the Commonwealth and Queen of 12 countries that have become independent since her accession : Jamaica , Barbados , the Bahamas , Grenada , Papua New Guinea , Solomon Islands , Tuvalu , Saint Lucia , Saint Vincent and the Grenadines , Belize , Antigua and Barbuda , and Saint Kitts and Nevis . Elizabeth was born in London as the first child of the Duke and Duchess of York , later King George VI and Queen Elizabeth , and she was educated privately at home . Her father acceded to the throne on the abdication of his brother Edward VIII in 1936 , from which time she was the heir presumptive . She began to undertake public duties during the Second World War , serving in the Auxiliary Territorial Service . In 1947 , she married Prince Philip , Duke of Edinburgh , a former prince of Greece and Denmark , with whom she has four children : Charles , Prince of Wales ; Anne , Princess Royal ; Prince Andrew , Duke of York ; and Prince Edward , Earl of Wessex . Elizabeth 's many historic visits and meetings include a state visit to the Republic of Ireland and visits to or from five popes . She has seen major constitutional changes , such as devolution in the United Kingdom , Canadian patriation , and the decolonisation of Africa . She has reigned through various wars and conflicts involving many of her realms . She is the world 's oldest reigning monarch as well as Britain 's longest - lived . In 2015 , she surpassed the reign of her great - great - grandmother , Queen Victoria , to become the longest - reigning British monarch and the longest - reigning queen regnant and female head of state in world history . In October 2016 , she became the longest currently reigning monarch and head of state following the death of King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand . Times of personal significance have included the births and marriages of her children , her coronation in 1953 , and the celebration of milestones such as her Silver , Golden , and Diamond Jubilees in 1977 , 2002 , and 2012 , respectively . In 2017 she became the first British monarch to commemorate a Sapphire Jubilee . Moments of sorrow for her include the death of her father in 1952 at age 56 ; the assassination of Prince Philip 's uncle Lord Mountbatten in 1979 ; the breakdown of her children 's marriages in 1992 ( her annus horribilis ) ; the death in 1997 of her son 's former wife , Diana , Princess of Wales ; and the deaths of her mother and sister in 2002 . Elizabeth has occasionally faced republican sentiments and press criticism of the royal family ; however , support for the monarchy remains high , as does her personal popularity .

Her father , Prince Albert , Duke of York ( later King George VI ) , was the second son of the King . Her mother , Elizabeth , Duchess of York ( later Queen Elizabeth ) , was the youngest daughter of Scottish aristocrat Claude Bowes - Lyon , 14th Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne . She was delivered by Caesarean section at her maternal grandfather 's London house : 17 Bruton Street , Mayfair . She was baptised by the Anglican Archbishop of York , Cosmo Gordon Lang , in the private chapel of Buckingham Palace on 29 May , and named Elizabeth after her mother , Alexandra after George V 's mother , who had died six months earlier , and Mary after her paternal grandmother . Called `` Lilibet '' by her close family , based on what she called herself at first , she was cherished by her grandfather George V , and during his serious illness in 1929 her regular visits were credited in the popular press and by later biographers with raising his spirits and aiding his recovery . Elizabeth 's only sibling , Princess Margaret , was born in 1930 . The two princesses were educated at home under the supervision of their mother and their governess , Marion Crawford , who was casually known as `` Crawfie '' . Lessons concentrated on history , language , literature and music . Crawford published a biography of Elizabeth and Margaret 's childhood years entitled The Little Princesses in 1950 , much to the dismay of the royal family . The book describes Elizabeth 's love of horses and dogs , her orderliness , and her attitude of responsibility . Others echoed such observations : Winston Churchill described Elizabeth when she was two as `` a character . She has an air of authority and reflectiveness astonishing in an infant . '' Her cousin Margaret Rhodes described her as `` a jolly little girl , but fundamentally sensible and well - behaved '' . Heir presumptive Princess Elizabeth aged seven , painted by Philip de László , 1933 During her grandfather 's reign , Elizabeth was third in the line of succession to the throne , behind her uncle Edward , Prince of Wales , and her father , the Duke of York . Although her birth generated public interest , she was not expected to become queen , as the Prince of Wales was still young . Many people believed that he would marry and have children of his own . When her grandfather died in 1936 and her uncle succeeded as Edward VIII , she became second - in - line to the throne , after her father . Later that year , Edward abdicated , after his proposed marriage to divorced socialite Wallis Simpson provoked a constitutional crisis . Consequently , Elizabeth 's father became king , and she became heir presumptive . If her parents had had a later son , she would have lost her position as first - in - line , as her brother would have been heir apparent and above her in the line of succession . Elizabeth received private tuition in constitutional history from Henry Marten , Vice-Provost of Eton College , and learned French from a succession of native - speaking governesses . A Girl Guides company , the 1st Buckingham Palace Company , was formed specifically so that she could socialise with girls her own age . Later , she was enrolled as a Sea Ranger . In 1939 , Elizabeth 's parents toured Canada and the United States . As in 1927 , when her parents had toured Australia and New Zealand , Elizabeth remained in Britain , since her father thought her too young to undertake public tours . Elizabeth `` looked tearful '' as her parents departed . They corresponded regularly , and she and her parents made the first royal transatlantic telephone call on 18 May . Second world War Elizabeth in Auxiliary Territorial Service uniform , April 1945 In September 1939 , Britain entered the Second World War , which lasted until 1945 . During the war , many of London 's children were evacuated to avoid the frequent aerial bombing . The suggestion by senior politician Lord Hailsham that the two princesses should be evacuated to Canada was rejected by Elizabeth 's mother , who declared , `` The children wo n't go without me . I wo n't leave without the King . And the King will never leave . '' Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret stayed at Balmoral Castle , Scotland , until Christmas 1939 , when they moved to Sandringham House , Norfolk . From February to May 1940 , they lived at Royal Lodge , Windsor , until moving to Windsor Castle , where they lived for most of the next five years . At Windsor , the princesses staged pantomimes at Christmas in aid of the Queen 's Wool Fund , which bought yarn to knit into military garments . In 1940 , the 14 - year - old Elizabeth made her first radio broadcast during the BBC 's Children 's Hour , addressing other children who had been evacuated from the cities . She stated : `` We are trying to do all we can to help our gallant sailors , soldiers and airmen , and we are trying , too , to bear our share of the danger and sadness of war . We know , every one of us , that in the end all will be well . '' Princess Elizabeth ( left , in uniform ) on the balcony of Buckingham Palace with ( left to right ) her mother Queen Elizabeth , Winston Churchill , King George VI , and Princess Margaret , 8 May 1945 In 1943 , Elizabeth undertook her first solo public appearance on a visit to the Grenadier Guards , of which she had been appointed colonel the previous year . As she approached her 18th birthday , parliament changed the law so that she could act as one of five Counsellors of State in the event of her father 's incapacity or absence abroad , such as his visit to Italy in July 1944 . In February 1945 , she joined the Women 's Auxiliary Territorial Service as an honorary second subaltern with the service number of 230873 . She trained as a driver and mechanic and was promoted to honorary junior commander five months later . At the end of the war in Europe , on Victory in Europe Day , Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret mingled anonymously with the celebratory crowds in the streets of London . Elizabeth later said in a rare interview , `` We asked my parents if we could go out and see for ourselves . I remember we were terrified of being recognised ... I remember lines of unknown people linking arms and walking down Whitehall , all of us just swept along on a tide of happiness and relief . '' During the war , plans were drawn up to quell Welsh nationalism by affiliating Elizabeth more closely with Wales . Proposals , such as appointing her Constable of Caernarfon Castle or a patron of Urdd Gobaith Cymru ( the Welsh League of Youth ) , were abandoned for various reasons , which included a fear of associating Elizabeth with conscientious objectors in the Urdd , at a time when Britain was at war . Welsh politicians suggested that she be made Princess of Wales on her 18th birthday . Home Secretary , Herbert Morrison supported the idea , but the King rejected it because he felt such a title belonged solely to the wife of a Prince of Wales and the Prince of Wales had always been the heir apparent . In 1946 , she was inducted into the Welsh Gorsedd of Bards at the National Eisteddfod of Wales . Princess Elizabeth went in 1947 on her first overseas tour , accompanying her parents through southern Africa . During the tour , in a broadcast to the British Commonwealth on her 21st birthday , she made the following pledge : `` I declare before you all that my whole life , whether it be long or short , shall be devoted to your service and the service of our great imperial family to which we all belong . '' Marriage Main article : Wedding of Princess Elizabeth and Philip Mountbatten , Duke of Edinburgh Elizabeth met her future husband , Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark , in 1934 and 1937 . They are second cousins once removed through King Christian IX of Denmark and third cousins through Queen Victoria . After another meeting at the Royal Naval College in Dartmouth in July 1939 , Elizabeth -- though only 13 years old -- said she fell in love with Philip and they began to exchange letters . She was 21 when their engagement was officially announced on 9 July 1947 . The engagement was not without controversy ; Philip had no financial standing , was foreign - born ( though a British subject who had served in the Royal Navy throughout the Second World War ) , and had sisters who had married German noblemen with Nazi links . Marion Crawford wrote , `` Some of the King 's advisors did not think him good enough for her . He was a prince without a home or kingdom . Some of the papers played long and loud tunes on the string of Philip 's foreign origin . '' Later biographies reported that Elizabeth 's mother initially opposed the union , dubbing Philip `` The Hun '' . In later life , however , the Queen Mother told biographer Tim Heald that Philip was `` an English gentleman '' . Before the marriage , Philip renounced his Greek and Danish titles , officially converted from Greek Orthodoxy to Anglicanism , and adopted the style Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten , taking the surname of his mother 's British family . Just before the wedding , he was created Duke of Edinburgh and granted the style His Royal Highness . Elizabeth and Philip were married on 20 November 1947 at Westminster Abbey . They received 2500 wedding gifts from around the world . Because Britain had not yet completely recovered from the devastation of the war , Elizabeth required ration coupons to buy the material for her gown , which was designed by Norman Hartnell . In post-war Britain , it was not acceptable for the Duke of Edinburgh 's German relations , including his three surviving sisters , to be invited to the wedding . The Duke of Windsor , formerly King Edward VIII , was not invited either . Elizabeth gave birth to her first child , Prince Charles , on 14 November 1948 . One month earlier , the King had issued letters patent allowing her children to use the style and title of a royal prince or princess , to which they otherwise would not have been entitled as their father was no longer a royal prince . A second child , Princess Anne , was born in 1950 . Following their wedding , the couple leased Windlesham Moor , near Windsor Castle , until July 1949 , when they took up residence at Clarence House in London . At various times between 1949 and 1951 , the Duke of Edinburgh was stationed in the British Crown Colony of Malta as a serving Royal Navy officer . He and Elizabeth lived intermittently in Malta for several months at a time in the hamlet of Gwardamanġa , at Villa Guardamangia , the rented home of Philip 's uncle , Lord Mountbatten . The children remained in Britain . Reign Accession and coronation Main article : Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II Coronation of Elizabeth II , 2 June 1953 During 1951 , George VI 's health declined and Elizabeth frequently stood in for him at public events . When she toured Canada and visited President Harry S. Truman in Washington , D.C. , in October 1951 , her private secretary , Martin Charteris , carried a draft accession declaration in case the King died while she was on tour . In early 1952 , Elizabeth and Philip set out for a tour of Australia and New Zealand by way of Kenya . On 6 February 1952 , they had just returned to their Kenyan home , Sagana Lodge , after a night spent at Treetops Hotel , when word arrived of the death of the King and consequently Elizabeth 's immediate accession to the throne . Philip broke the news to the new Queen . Martin Charteris asked her to choose a regnal name ; she chose to remain Elizabeth , `` of course '' . She was proclaimed queen throughout her realms and the royal party hastily returned to the United Kingdom . She and the Duke of Edinburgh moved into Buckingham Palace . With Elizabeth 's accession , it seemed probable that the royal house would bear her husband 's name , becoming the House of Mountbatten , in line with the custom of a wife taking her husband 's surname on marriage . The British Prime Minister , Winston Churchill , and Elizabeth 's grandmother , Queen Mary , favoured the retention of the House of Windsor , and so on 9 April 1952 Elizabeth issued a declaration that Windsor would continue to be the name of the royal house . The Duke complained , `` I am the only man in the country not allowed to give his name to his own children . '' In 1960 , after the death of Queen Mary in 1953 and the resignation of Churchill in 1955 , the surname Mountbatten - Windsor was adopted for Philip and Elizabeth 's male - line descendants who do not carry royal titles . Coronation portrait of Elizabeth II and Philip , June 1953 Amid preparations for the coronation , Princess Margaret informed her sister that she wished to marry Peter Townsend , a divorcé ‚ 16 years Margaret 's senior , with two sons from his previous marriage . The Queen asked them to wait for a year ; in the words of Martin Charteris , `` the Queen was naturally sympathetic towards the Princess , but I think she thought -- she hoped -- given time , the affair would peter out . '' Senior politicians were against the match and the Church of England did not permit remarriage after divorce . If Margaret had contracted a civil marriage , she would have been expected to renounce her right of succession . Eventually , she decided to abandon her plans with Townsend . In 1960 , she married Antony Armstrong - Jones , who was created Earl of Snowdon the following year . They divorced in 1978 ; she did not remarry . Despite the death of Queen Mary on 24 March , the coronation on 2 June 1953 went ahead as planned , as Mary had asked before she died . The ceremony in Westminster Abbey , with the exception of the anointing and communion , was televised for the first time . Elizabeth 's coronation gown was embroidered on her instructions with the floral emblems of Commonwealth countries : English Tudor rose ; Scots thistle ; Welsh leek ; Irish shamrock ; Australian wattle ; Canadian maple leaf ; New Zealand silver fern ; South African protea ; lotus flowers for India and Ceylon ; and Pakistan 's wheat , cotton , and jute . Continuing evolution of the Commonwealth Further information : Historical development of the Commonwealth realms , from the Queen 's accession Elizabeth 's realms ( pink ) and their territories and protectorates ( dark red ) at the beginning of her reign From Elizabeth 's birth onwards , the British Empire continued its transformation into the Commonwealth of Nations . By the time of her accession in 1952 , her role as head of multiple independent states was already established . In 1953 , the Queen and her husband embarked on a seven - month round - the - world tour , visiting 13 countries and covering more than 40,000 miles by land , sea and air . She became the first reigning monarch of Australia and New Zealand to visit those nations . During the tour , crowds were immense ; three - quarters of the population of Australia were estimated to have seen her . Throughout her reign , the Queen has made hundreds of state visits to other countries and tours of the Commonwealth ; she is the most widely travelled head of state . In 1956 , the British and French prime ministers , Sir Anthony Eden and Guy Mollet , discussed the possibility of France joining the Commonwealth . The proposal was never accepted and the following year France signed the Treaty of Rome , which established the European Economic Community , the precursor to the European Union . In November 1956 , Britain and France invaded Egypt in an ultimately unsuccessful attempt to capture the Suez Canal . Lord Mountbatten claimed the Queen was opposed to the invasion , though Eden denied it . Eden resigned two months later . Elizabeth and Commonwealth leaders at the 1960 Commonwealth Conference The absence of a formal mechanism within the Conservative Party for choosing a leader meant that , following Eden 's resignation , it fell to the Queen to decide whom to commission to form a government . Eden recommended that she consult Lord Salisbury , the Lord President of the Council . Lord Salisbury and Lord Kilmuir , the Lord Chancellor , consulted the British Cabinet , Winston Churchill , and the Chairman of the backbench 1922 Committee , resulting in the Queen appointing their recommended candidate : Harold Macmillan . The Suez crisis and the choice of Eden 's successor led in 1957 to the first major personal criticism of the Queen . In a magazine , which he owned and edited , Lord Altrincham accused her of being `` out of touch '' . Altrincham was denounced by public figures and slapped by a member of the public appalled by his comments . Six years later , in 1963 , Macmillan resigned and advised the Queen to appoint the Earl of Home as prime minister , advice that she followed . The Queen again came under criticism for appointing the prime minister on the advice of a small number of ministers or a single minister . In 1965 , the Conservatives adopted a formal mechanism for electing a leader , thus relieving her of involvement . Wikisource has original text related to this article : Queen Elizabeth II 's Address to the United Nations General Assembly In 1957 , she made a state visit to the United States , where she addressed the United Nations General Assembly on behalf of the Commonwealth . On the same tour , she opened the 23rd Canadian Parliament , becoming the first monarch of Canada to open a parliamentary session . Two years later , solely in her capacity as Queen of Canada , she revisited the United States and toured Canada . In 1961 , she toured Cyprus , India , Pakistan , Nepal , and Iran . On a visit to Ghana the same year , she dismissed fears for her safety , even though her host , President Kwame Nkrumah , who had replaced her as head of state , was a target for assassins . Harold Macmillan wrote , `` The Queen has been absolutely determined all through ... She is impatient of the attitude towards her to treat her as ... a film star ... She has indeed ' the heart and stomach of a man ' ... She loves her duty and means to be a Queen . '' Before her tour through parts of Quebec in 1964 , the press reported that extremists within the Quebec separatist movement were plotting Elizabeth 's assassination . No attempt was made , but a riot did break out while she was in Montreal ; the Queen 's `` calmness and courage in the face of the violence '' was noted . Elizabeth 's pregnancies with Princes Andrew and Edward , in 1959 and 1963 , mark the only times she has not performed the State Opening of the British parliament during her reign . In addition to performing traditional ceremonies , she also instituted new practices . Her first royal walkabout , meeting ordinary members of the public , took place during a tour of Australia and New Zealand in 1970 . Acceleration of decolonisation The Queen with Edward Heath and American First Lady Pat Nixon , 1970 The 1960s and 1970s saw an acceleration in the decolonisation of Africa and the Caribbean . Over 20 countries gained independence from Britain as part of a planned transition to self - government . In 1965 , however , the Rhodesian Prime Minister , Ian Smith , in opposition to moves towards majority rule , declared unilateral independence from Britain while still expressing `` loyalty and devotion '' to Elizabeth . Although the Queen dismissed him in a formal declaration , and the international community applied sanctions against Rhodesia , his regime survived for over a decade . As Britain 's ties to its former empire weakened , the British government sought entry to the European Community , a goal it achieved in 1973 . In February 1974 , the British Prime Minister , Edward Heath , advised the Queen to call a general election in the middle of her tour of the Austronesian Pacific Rim , requiring her to fly back to Britain . The election resulted in a hung parliament ; Heath 's Conservatives were not the largest party , but could stay in office if they formed a coalition with the Liberals . Heath only resigned when discussions on forming a coalition foundered , after which the Queen asked the Leader of the Opposition , Labour 's Harold Wilson , to form a government . A year later , at the height of the 1975 Australian constitutional crisis , the Australian Prime Minister , Gough Whitlam , was dismissed from his post by Governor - General Sir John Kerr , after the Opposition - controlled Senate rejected Whitlam 's budget proposals . As Whitlam had a majority in the House of Representatives , Speaker Gordon Scholes appealed to the Queen to reverse Kerr 's decision . She declined , stating that she would not interfere in decisions reserved by the Constitution of Australia for the governor - general . The crisis fuelled Australian republicanism . Silver Jubilee In 1977 , Elizabeth marked the Silver Jubilee of her accession . Parties and events took place throughout the Commonwealth , many coinciding with her associated national and Commonwealth tours . The celebrations re-affirmed the Queen 's popularity , despite virtually coincident negative press coverage of Princess Margaret 's separation from her husband . In 1978 , the Queen endured a state visit to the United Kingdom by Romania 's communist leader , Nicolae Ceaușescu , and his wife , Elena , though privately she thought they had `` blood on their hands '' . The following year brought two blows : one was the unmasking of Anthony Blunt , former Surveyor of the Queen 's Pictures , as a communist spy ; the other was the assassination of her relative and in - law Lord Mountbatten by the Provisional Irish Republican Army . According to Paul Martin , Sr. , by the end of the 1970s the Queen was worried that the Crown `` had little meaning for '' Pierre Trudeau , the Canadian Prime Minister . Tony Benn said that the Queen found Trudeau `` rather disappointing '' . Trudeau 's supposed republicanism seemed to be confirmed by his antics , such as sliding down banisters at Buckingham Palace and pirouetting behind the Queen 's back in 1977 , and the removal of various Canadian royal symbols during his term of office . In 1980 , Canadian politicians sent to London to discuss the patriation of the Canadian constitution found the Queen `` better informed ... than any of the British politicians or bureaucrats '' . She was particularly interested after the failure of Bill C - 60 , which would have affected her role as head of state . Patriation removed the role of the British parliament from the Canadian constitution , but the monarchy was retained . Trudeau said in his memoirs that the Queen favoured his attempt to reform the constitution and that he was impressed by `` the grace she displayed in public '' and `` the wisdom she showed in private '' . 1980s Elizabeth riding Burmese at the 1986 Trooping the Colour ceremony During the 1981 Trooping the Colour ceremony , six weeks before the wedding of Charles , Prince of Wales , and Lady Diana Spencer , six shots were fired at the Queen from close range as she rode down The Mall on her horse , Burmese . Police later discovered that the shots were blanks . The 17 - year - old assailant , Marcus Sarjeant , was sentenced to five years in prison and released after three . The Queen 's composure and skill in controlling her mount were widely praised . From April to September 1982 , the Queen was anxious but proud of her son , Prince Andrew , who was serving with British forces during the Falklands War . On 9 July , the Queen awoke in her bedroom at Buckingham Palace to find an intruder , Michael Fagan , in the room with her . In a serious lapse of security , assistance only arrived after two calls to the Palace police switchboard . After hosting US President Ronald Reagan at Windsor Castle in 1982 and visiting his California ranch in 1983 , the Queen was angered when his administration ordered the invasion of Grenada , one of her Caribbean realms , without informing her . Intense media interest in the opinions and private lives of the royal family during the 1980s led to a series of sensational stories in the press , not all of which were entirely true . As Kelvin MacKenzie , editor of The Sun , told his staff : `` Give me a Sunday for Monday splash on the Royals . Do n't worry if it 's not true -- so long as there 's not too much of a fuss about it afterwards . '' Newspaper editor Donald Trelford wrote in The Observer of 21 September 1986 : `` The royal soap opera has now reached such a pitch of public interest that the boundary between fact and fiction has been lost sight of ... it is not just that some papers do n't check their facts or accept denials : they do n't care if the stories are true or not . '' It was reported , most notably in The Sunday Times of 20 July 1986 , that the Queen was worried that Margaret Thatcher 's economic policies fostered social divisions and was alarmed by high unemployment , a series of riots , the violence of a miners ' strike , and Thatcher 's refusal to apply sanctions against the apartheid regime in South Africa . The sources of the rumours included royal aide Michael Shea and Commonwealth Secretary - General Shridath Ramphal , but Shea claimed his remarks were taken out of context and embellished by speculation . Thatcher reputedly said the Queen would vote for the Social Democratic Party -- Thatcher 's political opponents . Thatcher 's biographer John Campbell claimed `` the report was a piece of journalistic mischief - making '' . Belying reports of acrimony between them , Thatcher later conveyed her personal admiration for the Queen , and the Queen gave two honours in her personal gift -- membership in the Order of Merit and the Order of the Garter -- to Thatcher after her replacement as prime minister by John Major . Former Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney said Elizabeth was a `` behind the scenes force '' in ending apartheid . In 1987 , in Canada , Elizabeth publicly supported politically divisive constitutional amendments , prompting criticism from opponents of the proposed changes , including Pierre Trudeau . The same year , the elected Fijian government was deposed in a military coup . As monarch of Fiji , Elizabeth supported the attempts of the Governor - General , Ratu Sir Penaia Ganilau , to assert executive power and negotiate a settlement . Coup leader Sitiveni Rabuka deposed Ganilau and declared Fiji a republic . By the start of 1991 , republican feeling in Britain had risen because of press estimates of the Queen 's private wealth -- which were contradicted by the Palace -- and reports of affairs and strained marriages among her extended family . The involvement of younger members of the royal family in the charity game show It 's a Royal Knockout was ridiculed , and the Queen was the target of satire . 1990s In 1991 , in the wake of coalition victory in the Gulf War , the Queen became the first British monarch to address a joint meeting of the United States Congress . Philip and Elizabeth , October 1992 In a speech on 24 November 1992 , to mark the 40th anniversary of her accession , Elizabeth called 1992 her annus horribilis , meaning horrible year . In March , her second son , Prince Andrew , Duke of York , and his wife , Sarah , separated ; in April , her daughter , Princess Anne , divorced Captain Mark Phillips ; during a state visit to Germany in October , angry demonstrators in Dresden threw eggs at her ; and , in November , a large fire broke out at Windsor Castle , one of her official residences . The monarchy came under increased criticism and public scrutiny . In an unusually personal speech , the Queen said that any institution must expect criticism , but suggested it be done with `` a touch of humour , gentleness and understanding '' . Two days later , the Prime Minister , John Major , announced reforms to the royal finances planned since the previous year , including the Queen paying income tax from 1993 onwards , and a reduction in the civil list . In December , Prince Charles and his wife , Diana , formally separated . The year ended with a lawsuit as the Queen sued The Sun newspaper for breach of copyright when it published the text of her annual Christmas message two days before it was broadcast . The newspaper was forced to pay her legal fees and donated £ 200,000 to charity . In the years to follow , public revelations on the state of Charles and Diana 's marriage continued . Even though support for republicanism in Britain seemed higher than at any time in living memory , republicanism was still a minority viewpoint , and the Queen herself had high approval ratings . Criticism was focused on the institution of the monarchy itself and the Queen 's wider family rather than her own behaviour and actions . In consultation with her husband and the Prime Minister , John Major , as well as the Archbishop of Canterbury , George Carey , and her private secretary , Robert Fellowes , she wrote to Charles and Diana at the end of December 1995 , saying that a divorce was desirable . In August 1997 , a year after the divorce , Diana was killed in a car crash in Paris . The Queen was on holiday with her extended family at Balmoral . Diana 's two sons by Charles -- Princes William and Harry -- wanted to attend church and so the Queen and Prince Philip took them that morning . After that single public appearance , for five days the Queen and the Duke shielded their grandsons from the intense press interest by keeping them at Balmoral where they could grieve in private , but the royal family 's seclusion and the failure to fly a flag at half - mast over Buckingham Palace caused public dismay . Pressured by the hostile reaction , the Queen agreed to return to London and do a live television broadcast on 5 September , the day before Diana 's funeral . In the broadcast , she expressed admiration for Diana and her feelings `` as a grandmother '' for the two princes . As a result , much of the public hostility evaporated . In November 1997 , the Queen and her husband held a reception at Banqueting House to mark their golden wedding anniversary . She made a speech and praised Philip for his role as a consort , referring to him as `` my strength and stay '' . Golden Jubilee Elizabeth visiting the United States in 2007 In 2002 , Elizabeth marked her Golden Jubilee . Her sister and mother died in February and March respectively , and the media speculated whether the Jubilee would be a success or a failure . She again undertook an extensive tour of her realms , which began in Jamaica in February , where she called the farewell banquet `` memorable '' after a power cut plunged the King 's House , the official residence of the governor - general , into darkness . As in 1977 , there were street parties and commemorative events , and monuments were named to honour the occasion . A million people attended each day of the three - day main Jubilee celebration in London , and the enthusiasm shown by the public for the Queen was greater than many journalists had expected . Though generally healthy throughout her life , in 2003 she had keyhole surgery on both knees . In October 2006 , she missed the opening of the new Emirates Stadium because of a strained back muscle that had been troubling her since the summer . In May 2007 , The Daily Telegraph , citing unnamed sources , reported that the Queen was `` exasperated and frustrated '' by the policies of the British Prime Minister , Tony Blair , that she was concerned the British Armed Forces were overstretched in Iraq and Afghanistan , and that she had raised concerns over rural and countryside issues with Blair . She was , however , said to admire Blair 's efforts to achieve peace in Northern Ireland . She became the first British monarch to celebrate a diamond wedding anniversary in November 2007 . On 20 March 2008 , at the Church of Ireland St Patrick 's Cathedral , Armagh , the Queen attended the first Maundy service held outside England and Wales . At the invitation of the Irish President , Mary McAleese , the Queen made the first state visit to the Republic of Ireland by a British monarch in May 2011 . The Queen addressed the United Nations for a second time in 2010 , again in her capacity as Queen of all Commonwealth realms and Head of the Commonwealth . The UN Secretary General , Ban Ki - moon , introduced her as `` an anchor for our age '' . During her visit to New York , which followed a tour of Canada , she officially opened a memorial garden for the British victims of the September 11 attacks . The Queen 's visit to Australia in October 2011 -- her sixteenth visit since 1954 -- was called her `` farewell tour '' in the press because of her age . Diamond and Sapphire Jubilees and after Elizabeth visiting Birmingham in July 2012 as part of her Diamond Jubilee tour Her Diamond Jubilee in 2012 marked 60 years on the throne , and celebrations were held throughout her realms , the wider Commonwealth , and beyond . In a message released on Accession Day , Elizabeth wrote : In this special year , as I dedicate myself anew to your service , I hope we will all be reminded of the power of togetherness and the convening strength of family , friendship and good neighbourliness ... I hope also that this Jubilee year will be a time to give thanks for the great advances that have been made since 1952 and to look forward to the future with clear head and warm heart . She and her husband undertook an extensive tour of the United Kingdom , while her children and grandchildren embarked on royal tours of other Commonwealth states on her behalf . On 4 June , Jubilee beacons were lit around the world . In November , the Queen and her husband celebrated their sapphire wedding anniversary . On 18 December , she became the first British sovereign to attend a peacetime Cabinet meeting since George III in 1781 . The Queen visiting the Home Office in 2015 The Queen , who opened the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal , also opened the 2012 Summer Olympics and Paralympics in London , making her the first head of state to open two Olympic Games in two different countries . For the London Olympics , she played herself in a short film as part of the opening ceremony , alongside Daniel Craig as James Bond . On 4 April 2013 , she received an honorary BAFTA for her patronage of the film industry and was called `` the most memorable Bond girl yet '' at the award ceremony . On 3 March 2013 , Elizabeth was admitted to King Edward VII 's Hospital as a precaution after developing symptoms of gastroenteritis . She returned to Buckingham Palace the following day . A week later , she signed the new Commonwealth charter . Because of her age and the need for her to limit travelling , in 2013 she chose not to attend the biennial meeting of Commonwealth heads of government for the first time in 40 years . She was represented at the summit in Sri Lanka by her son , Prince Charles . The Queen surpassed her great - great - grandmother , Queen Victoria , to become the longest - lived British monarch in December 2007 , and the longest - reigning British monarch on 9 September 2015 . She was celebrated in Canada as the `` longest - reigning sovereign in Canada 's modern era '' . ( King Louis XIV of France reigned over Canada ( New France ) for longer . ) She is also the longest - reigning queen regnant in history , and the world 's oldest reigning monarch . She became the longest - serving current head of state following the death of King Bhumibol of Thailand on 13 October 2016 . On 6 February 2017 , she became the first British monarch to commemorate a Sapphire Jubilee . Prince Philip retired from his official duties as the Queen 's consort in August 2017 . The Queen herself does not intend to abdicate , though Prince Charles is expected to take on more of her workload as Elizabeth , who celebrated her 91st birthday in 2017 , carries out fewer public engagements . Plans for her death and funeral have been extensively prepared by most British government and media organisations for decades . Public perception and character Main article : Personality and image of Queen Elizabeth II Since Elizabeth rarely gives interviews , little is known of her personal feelings . As a constitutional monarch , she has not expressed her own political opinions in a public forum . She does have a deep sense of religious and civic duty , and takes her coronation oath seriously . Aside from her official religious role as Supreme Governor of the established Church of England , she is personally a member of that church and the national Church of Scotland . She has demonstrated support for inter-faith relations and has met with leaders of other churches and religions , including five popes : Pius XII , John XXIII , John Paul II , Benedict XVI and Francis . A personal note about her faith often features in her annual Christmas message broadcast to the Commonwealth . In 2000 , she spoke about the theological significance of the millennium marking the 2000th anniversary of the birth of Jesus : To many of us , our beliefs are of fundamental importance . For me the teachings of Christ and my own personal accountability before God provide a framework in which I try to lead my life . I , like so many of you , have drawn great comfort in difficult times from Christ 's words and example . Elizabeth and Ronald Reagan riding at Windsor , June 1982 She is patron of over 600 organisations and charities . Her main leisure interests include equestrianism and dogs , especially her Pembroke Welsh Corgis . Her lifelong love of corgis began in 1933 with Dookie , the first corgi owned by her family . Scenes of a relaxed , informal home life have occasionally been witnessed ; she and her family , from time to time , prepare a meal together and do the washing up afterwards . In the 1950s , as a young woman at the start of her reign , Elizabeth was depicted as a glamorous `` fairytale Queen '' . After the trauma of the Second World War , it was a time of hope , a period of progress and achievement heralding a `` new Elizabethan age '' . Lord Altrincham 's accusation in 1957 that her speeches sounded like those of a `` priggish schoolgirl '' was an extremely rare criticism . In the late 1960s , attempts to portray a more modern image of the monarchy were made in the television documentary Royal Family and by televising Prince Charles 's investiture as Prince of Wales . In public , she took to wearing mostly solid - colour overcoats and decorative hats , which allow her to be seen easily in a crowd . At her Silver Jubilee in 1977 , the crowds and celebrations were genuinely enthusiastic , but in the 1980s , public criticism of the royal family increased , as the personal and working lives of Elizabeth 's children came under media scrutiny . Elizabeth 's popularity sank to a low point in the 1990s . Under pressure from public opinion , she began to pay income tax for the first time , and Buckingham Palace was opened to the public . Discontent with the monarchy reached its peak on the death of Diana , Princess of Wales , though Elizabeth 's personal popularity and support for the monarchy rebounded after her live television broadcast to the world five days after Diana 's death . In November 1999 , a referendum in Australia on the future of the Australian monarchy favoured its retention in preference to an indirectly elected head of state . Polls in Britain in 2006 and 2007 revealed strong support for Elizabeth , and in 2012 , her Diamond Jubilee year , approval ratings hit 90 percent . Referenda in Tuvalu in 2008 and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines in 2009 both rejected proposals to become republics . Elizabeth has been portrayed in a variety of media by many notable artists , including painters Pietro Annigoni , Peter Blake , Chinwe Chukwuogo - Roy , Terence Cuneo , Lucian Freud , Damien Hirst , Juliet Pannett , and Tai - Shan Schierenberg . Notable photographers of Elizabeth have included Cecil Beaton , Yousuf Karsh , Annie Leibovitz , Lord Lichfield , Terry O'Neill , John Swannell , and Dorothy Wilding . The first official portrait of Elizabeth was taken by Marcus Adams in 1926 . Finances Sandringham House , Elizabeth 's private residence in Norfolk Further information : Finances of the British royal family Elizabeth 's personal fortune has been the subject of speculation for many years . In 1971 Jock Colville , who was her former private secretary and a director of her bank , Coutts , estimated her wealth at £ 2 million ( equivalent to about £ 25 million today ) . In 1993 , Buckingham Palace called estimates of £ 100 million `` grossly overstated '' . In 2002 , she inherited an estate worth an estimated £ 70 million from her mother . The Sunday Times Rich List 2017 estimated her personal wealth at £ 360 million , making her the 329th richest person in the UK . The Royal Collection , which includes thousands of historic works of art and the Crown Jewels , is not owned by the Queen personally but is held in trust , as are her official residences , such as Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle , and the Duchy of Lancaster , a property portfolio valued at £ 472 million in 2015 . Sandringham House and Balmoral Castle are personally owned by the Queen . The British Crown Estate -- with holdings of £ 12 billion in 2016 -- is held in trust and can not be sold or owned by Elizabeth in a personal capacity . Titles , styles , honours , and arms Titles and styles Main article : List of titles and honours of Queen Elizabeth II Elizabeth has held many titles and honorary military positions throughout the Commonwealth , is Sovereign of many orders in her own countries , and has received honours and awards from around the world . In each of her realms she has a distinct title that follows a similar formula : Queen of Jamaica and her other realms and territories in Jamaica , Queen of Australia and her other realms and territories in Australia , etc . In the Channel Islands and Isle of Man , which are Crown dependencies rather than separate realms , she is known as Duke of Normandy and Lord of Mann , respectively . Additional styles include Defender of the Faith and Duke of Lancaster . When in conversation with the Queen , the practice is to initially address her as Your Majesty and thereafter as Ma'am . Arms See also : Flags of Elizabeth II From 21 April 1944 until her accession , Elizabeth 's arms consisted of a lozenge bearing the royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom differenced with a label of three points argent , the centre point bearing a Tudor rose and the first and third a cross of St George . Upon her accession , she inherited the various arms her father held as sovereign . The Queen also possesses royal standards and personal flags for use in the United Kingdom , Canada , Australia , New Zealand , Jamaica , Barbados , and elsewhere .

For the Academic journal , see Cell Cycle ( journal ) . See also : Cell division Life Cycle of the cell Onion ( Allium ) cells in different phases of the cell cycle . Growth in an ' organism ' is carefully controlled by regulating the cell cycle . The cell cycle or cell - division cycle is the series of events that take place in a cell leading to its division and duplication of its DNA ( DNA replication ) to produce two daughter cells . In bacteria , which lack a cell nucleus , the cell cycle is divided into the B , C , and D periods . The B period extends from the end of cell division to the beginning of DNA replication . DNA replication occurs during the C period . The D period refers to the stage between the end of DNA replication and the splitting of the bacterial cell into two daughter cells . In cells with a nucleus , as in eukaryotes , the cell cycle is also divided into three periods : interphase , the mitotic ( M ) phase , and cytokinesis . During interphase , the cell grows , accumulating nutrients needed for mitosis , preparing it for cell division and duplicating its DNA . During the mitotic phase , the chromosomes separate . During the final stage , cytokinesis , the chromosomes and cytoplasm separate into two new daughter cells . To ensure the proper division of the cell , there are control mechanisms known as cell cycle checkpoints . The cell - division cycle is a vital process by which a single - celled fertilized egg develops into a mature organism , as well as the process by which hair , skin , blood cells , and some internal organs are renewed . After cell division , each of the daughter cells begin the interphase of a new cycle . Although the various stages of interphase are not usually morphologically distinguishable , each phase of the cell cycle has a distinct set of specialized biochemical processes that prepare the cell for initiation of cell divisions .

M phase is itself composed of two tightly coupled processes : karyokinesis , in which the cell 's chromosomes are divided , and cytokinesis , in which the cell 's cytoplasm divides forming two daughter cells . Activation of each phase is dependent on the proper progression and completion of the previous one . Cells that have temporarily or reversibly stopped dividing are said to have entered a state of quiescence called G phase . Schematic of the cell cycle . outer ring : I = Interphase , M = Mitosis ; inner ring : M = Mitosis , G = Gap 1 , G = Gap 2 , S = Synthesis ; not in ring : G = Gap 0 / Resting . State Phase Abbreviation Description Resting Gap 0 A phase where the cell has left the cycle and has stopped dividing . Interphase Gap 1 Cells increase in size in Gap 1 . The G checkpoint control mechanism ensures that everything is ready for DNA synthesis . Synthesis DNA replication occurs during this phase . Gap 2 During the gap between DNA synthesis and mitosis , the cell will continue to grow . The G checkpoint control mechanism ensures that everything is ready to enter the M ( mitosis ) phase and divide . Cell division Mitosis Cell growth stops at this stage and cellular energy is focused on the orderly division into two daughter cells . A checkpoint in the middle of mitosis ( Metaphase Checkpoint ) ensures that the cell is ready to complete cell division . After cell division , each of the daughter cells begin the interphase of a new cycle . Although the various stages of interphase are not usually morphologically distinguishable , each phase of the cell cycle has a distinct set of specialized biochemical processes that prepare the cell for initiation of cell division . G phase ( quiescence ) ( edit ) Plant cell cycle Animal cell cycle G is a resting phase where the cell has left the cycle and has stopped dividing . The cell cycle starts with this phase . The word `` post-mitotic '' is sometimes used to refer to both quiescent and senescent cells . Non-proliferative ( non-dividing ) cells in multicellular eukaryotes generally enter the quiescent G state from G and may remain quiescent for long periods of time , possibly indefinitely ( as is often the case for neurons ) . This is very common for cells that are fully differentiated . Cellular senescence occurs in response to DNA damage and external stress and usually constitutes an arrest in G. Some cells enter the G phase semi-permanently and are considered post-mitotic , e.g. , some liver , kidney , and stomach cells . Many cells do not enter G and continue to divide throughout an organism 's life , e.g. , epithelial cells . Cellular senescence is also a state that occurs in response to DNA damage or degradation that would make a cell 's progeny nonviable ; it is often a biochemical alternative to the self - destruction of such a damaged cell by apoptosis . Interphase ( intermitosis ) ( edit ) Before a cell can enter cell division , it needs to take in nutrients . All of the preparations are done during interphase . Interphase is a series of changes that takes place in a newly formed cell and its nucleus , before it becomes capable of division again . It is also called preparatory phase or intermitosis . Previously it was called resting stage because there is no apparent activity related to cell division. Typically interphase lasts for at least 90 % of the total time required for the cell cycle . Interphase proceeds in three stages , G , S , and G , followed by the cycle of mitosis and cytokinesis . The cell 's nuclear DNA contents are duplicated during S phase . G phase ( first growth phase or post mitotic Gap phase ) ( edit ) The first phase within interphase , from the end of the previous M phase until the beginning of DNA synthesis , is called G ( G indicating gap ) . It is also called the growth phase . During this phase , the biosynthetic activities of the cell , which are considerably slowed down during M phase , resume at a high rate . The duration of G is highly variable , even among different cells of the same species . In this phase , the cell increases its supply of proteins , increases the number of organelles ( such as mitochondria , ribosomes ) , and grows in size . In G phase , a cell has three options . ( 1 ) To continue cell cycle and enter S phase ( 2 ) Stop cell cycle and enter G phase for undergoing differentiation. ( 3 ) Get arrested in G phase hence it may enter G phase or re-enter cell cycle . The deciding factor is availability of nitrogens and storage of energy rich compounds at the deciding point called check point . This check point is called G cyclin or C. It causes transition of G to S phase . Once the check point of G phase is crossed , cell cycle will go uninterrupted till it is completed . S phase ( DNA replication ) ( edit ) The ensuing S phase starts when DNA synthesis commences ; when it is complete , all of the chromosomes have been replicated , i.e. , each chromosome has two ( sister ) chromatids . Thus , during this phase , the amount of DNA in the cell has effectively doubled , though the ploidy of the cell remains the same . Rates of RNA transcription and protein synthesis are very low during this phase . An exception to this is histone production , most of which occurs during the S phase . G phase ( growth ) ( edit ) G2 phase occurs after DNA replication and is a period of protein synthesis and rapid cell growth to prepare the cell for mitosis . During this phase microtubules begin to reorganize to form a spindle . Mitotic phase ( chromosome separation ) ( edit ) Main article : Mitosis The relatively brief M phase consists of nuclear division ( karyokinesis ) . It is a relatively short period of the cell cycle . M phase is complex and highly regulated . The sequence of events is divided into phases , corresponding to the completion of one set of activities and the start of the next . These phases are sequentially known as : prophase , metaphase , anaphase , telophase Mitosis is the process by which a eukaryotic cell separates the chromosomes in its cell nucleus into two identical sets in two nuclei . During the process of mitosis the pairs of chromosomes condense and attach to fibers that pull the sister chromatids to opposite sides of the cell . Mitosis occurs exclusively in eukaryotic cells , but occurs in different ways in different species . For example , animals undergo an `` open '' mitosis , where the nuclear envelope breaks down before the chromosomes separate , while fungi such as Aspergillus nidulans and Saccharomyces cerevisiae ( yeast ) undergo a `` closed '' mitosis , where chromosomes divide within an intact cell nucleus . Prokaryotic cells , which lack a nucleus , divide by a process called binary fission . Cytokinesis phase ( separation of all cell components ) ( edit ) Main article : Cytokinesis Mitosis is immediately followed by cytokinesis , which divides the nuclei , cytoplasm , organelles and cell membrane into two cells containing roughly equal shares of these cellular components . Mitosis and cytokinesis together define the division of the mother cell into two daughter cells , genetically identical to each other and to their parent cell . This accounts for approximately 10 % of the cell cycle . Because cytokinesis usually occurs in conjunction with mitosis , `` mitosis '' is often used interchangeably with `` M phase '' . However , there are many cells where mitosis and cytokinesis occur separately , forming single cells with multiple nuclei in a process called endoreplication . This occurs most notably among the fungi and slime moulds , but is found in various groups . Even in animals , cytokinesis and mitosis may occur independently , for instance during certain stages of fruit fly embryonic development . Errors in mitosis can either kill a cell through apoptosis or cause mutations that may lead to cancer . The process of mitosis is complex and highly regulated . The sequence of events is divided into phases , corresponding to the completion of one set of activities and the start of the next . These stages are prophase , prometaphase , metaphase , anaphase and telophase . During the process of mitosis the pairs of chromosomes condense and attach to fibers that pull the sister chromatids to opposite sides of the cell . The cell then divides in cytokinesis , to produce two identical daughter cells . Regulation of eukaryotic cell cycle ( edit ) Regulation of the cell cycle involves processes crucial to the survival of a cell , including the detection and repair of genetic damage as well as the prevention of uncontrolled cell division . The molecular events that control the cell cycle are ordered and directional ; that is , each process occurs in a sequential fashion and it is impossible to `` reverse '' the cycle . Role of cyclins and CDKs ( edit ) Nobel Laureate Paul Nurse Two key classes of regulatory molecules , cyclins and cyclin - dependent kinases ( CDKs ) , determine a cell 's progress through the cell cycle . Leland H. Hartwell , R. Timothy Hunt , and Paul M. Nurse won the 2001 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their discovery of these central molecules . Many of the genes encoding cyclins and CDKs are conserved among all eukaryotes , but in general more complex organisms have more elaborate cell cycle control systems that incorporate more individual components . Many of the relevant genes were first identified by studying yeast , especially Saccharomyces cerevisiae ; genetic nomenclature in yeast dubs many of these genes cdc ( for `` cell division cycle '' ) followed by an identifying number , e.g. cdc25 or cdc20 . Cyclins form the regulatory subunits and CDKs the catalytic subunits of an activated heterodimer ; cyclins have no catalytic activity and CDKs are inactive in the absence of a partner cyclin . When activated by a bound cyclin , CDKs perform a common biochemical reaction called phosphorylation that activates or inactivates target proteins to orchestrate coordinated entry into the next phase of the cell cycle . Different cyclin - CDK combinations determine the downstream proteins targeted . CDKs are constitutively expressed in cells whereas cyclins are synthesised at specific stages of the cell cycle , in response to various molecular signals . General mechanism of cyclin - CDK interaction ( edit ) Upon receiving a pro-mitotic extracellular signal , G cyclin - CDK complexes become active to prepare the cell for S phase , promoting the expression of transcription factors that in turn promote the expression of S cyclins and of enzymes required for DNA replication . The G cyclin - CDK complexes also promote the degradation of molecules that function as S phase inhibitors by targeting them for ubiquitination . Once a protein has been ubiquitinated , it is targeted for proteolytic degradation by the proteasome . However , results from a recent study of E2F transcriptional dynamics at the single - cell level argue that the role of G1 cyclin - CDK activities , in particular cyclin D - CDK4 / 6 , is to tune the timing rather than the commitment of cell cycle entry . Active S cyclin - CDK complexes phosphorylate proteins that make up the pre-replication complexes assembled during G phase on DNA replication origins . The phosphorylation serves two purposes : to activate each already - assembled pre-replication complex , and to prevent new complexes from forming . This ensures that every portion of the cell 's genome will be replicated once and only once . The reason for prevention of gaps in replication is fairly clear , because daughter cells that are missing all or part of crucial genes will die . However , for reasons related to gene copy number effects , possession of extra copies of certain genes is also deleterious to the daughter cells . Mitotic cyclin - CDK complexes , which are synthesized but inactivated during S and G phases , promote the initiation of mitosis by stimulating downstream proteins involved in chromosome condensation and mitotic spindle assembly . A critical complex activated during this process is a ubiquitin ligase known as the anaphase - promoting complex ( APC ) , which promotes degradation of structural proteins associated with the chromosomal kinetochore . APC also targets the mitotic cyclins for degradation , ensuring that telophase and cytokinesis can proceed . Specific action of cyclin - CDK complexes ( edit ) Cyclin D is the first cyclin produced in the cell cycle , in response to extracellular signals ( e.g. growth factors ) . Cyclin D binds to existing CDK4 , forming the active cyclin D - CDK4 complex . Cyclin D - CDK4 complex in turn phosphorylates the retinoblastoma susceptibility protein ( Rb ) . The hyperphosphorylated Rb dissociates from the E2F / DP1 / Rb complex ( which was bound to the E2F responsive genes , effectively `` blocking '' them from transcription ) , activating E2F . Activation of E2F results in transcription of various genes like cyclin E , cyclin A , DNA polymerase , thymidine kinase , etc . Cyclin E thus produced binds to CDK2 , forming the cyclin E-CDK2 complex , which pushes the cell from G to S phase ( G / S , which initiates the G / M transition ) . Cyclin B - cdk1 complex activation causes breakdown of nuclear envelope and initiation of prophase , and subsequently , its deactivation causes the cell to exit mitosis . A quantitative study of E2F transcriptional dynamics at the single - cell level by using engineered fluorescent reporter cells provided a quantitative framework for understanding the control logic of cell cycle entry , challenging the canonical textbook model . Genes that regulate the amplitude of E2F accumulation , such as Myc , determine the commitment into cell cycle and S phase entry . G1 cyclin - CDK activities are not the driver of cell cycle entry . Instead , they primarily tune the timing of E2F increase , thereby modulating the pace of cell cycle progression . Inhibitors ( edit ) Overview of signal transduction pathways involved in apoptosis , also known as `` programmed cell death '' . Two families of genes , the cip / kip ( CDK interacting protein / Kinase inhibitory protein ) family and the INK4a / ARF ( Inhibitor of Kinase 4 / Alternative Reading Frame ) family , prevent the progression of the cell cycle . Because these genes are instrumental in prevention of tumor formation , they are known as tumor suppressors . The cip / kip family includes the genes p21 , p27 and p57 . They halt cell cycle in G phase , by binding to , and inactivating , cyclin - CDK complexes . p21 is activated by p53 ( which , in turn , is triggered by DNA damage e.g. due to radiation ) . p27 is activated by Transforming Growth Factor of β ( TGF β ) , a growth inhibitor . The INK4a / ARF family includes p16 , which binds to CDK4 and arrests the cell cycle in G phase , and p14 which prevents p53 degradation . Synthetic inhibitors of Cdc25 could also be useful for the arrest of cell cycle and therefore be useful as antineoplastic and anticancer agents . Transcriptional regulatory network ( edit ) Current evidence suggests that a semi-autonomous transcriptional network acts in concert with the CDK - cyclin machinery to regulate the cell cycle . Several gene expression studies in Saccharomyces cerevisiae have identified 800 -- 1200 genes that change expression over the course of the cell cycle . They are transcribed at high levels at specific points in the cell cycle , and remain at lower levels throughout the rest of the cycle . While the set of identified genes differs between studies due to the computational methods and criteria used to identify them , each study indicates that a large portion of yeast genes are temporally regulated . Many periodically expressed genes are driven by transcription factors that are also periodically expressed . One screen of single - gene knockouts identified 48 transcription factors ( about 20 % of all non-essential transcription factors ) that show cell cycle progression defects . Genome - wide studies using high throughput technologies have identified the transcription factors that bind to the promoters of yeast genes , and correlating these findings with temporal expression patterns have allowed the identification of transcription factors that drive phase - specific gene expression . The expression profiles of these transcription factors are driven by the transcription factors that peak in the prior phase , and computational models have shown that a CDK - autonomous network of these transcription factors is sufficient to produce steady - state oscillations in gene expression ) . Experimental evidence also suggests that gene expression can oscillate with the period seen in dividing wild - type cells independently of the CDK machinery . Orlando et al. used microarrays to measure the expression of a set of 1,271 genes that they identified as periodic in both wild type cells and cells lacking all S - phase and mitotic cyclins ( clb1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 ) . Of the 1,271 genes assayed , 882 continued to be expressed in the cyclin - deficient cells at the same time as in the wild type cells , despite the fact that the cyclin - deficient cells arrest at the border between G and S phase . However , 833 of the genes assayed changed behavior between the wild type and mutant cells , indicating that these genes are likely directly or indirectly regulated by the CDK - cyclin machinery . Some genes that continued to be expressed on time in the mutant cells were also expressed at different levels in the mutant and wild type cells . These findings suggest that while the transcriptional network may oscillate independently of the CDK - cyclin oscillator , they are coupled in a manner that requires both to ensure the proper timing of cell cycle events . Other work indicates that phosphorylation , a post-translational modification , of cell cycle transcription factors by Cdk1 may alter the localization or activity of the transcription factors in order to tightly control timing of target genes . While oscillatory transcription plays a key role in the progression of the yeast cell cycle , the CDK - cyclin machinery operates independently in the early embryonic cell cycle . Before the midblastula transition , zygotic transcription does not occur and all needed proteins , such as the B - type cyclins , are translated from maternally loaded mRNA . DNA replication and DNA replication origin activity ( edit ) Analyses of synchronized cultures of Saccharomyces cerevisiae under conditions that prevent DNA replication initiation without delaying cell cycle progression showed that origin licensing decreases the expression of genes with origins near their 3 ' ends , revealing that downstream origins can regulate the expression of upstream genes . This confirms previous predictions from mathematical modeling of a global causal coordination between DNA replication origin activity and mRNA expression , and shows that mathematical modeling of DNA microarray data can be used to correctly predict previously unknown biological modes of regulation . Checkpoints ( edit ) Main article : Cell cycle checkpoint Cell cycle checkpoints are used by the cell to monitor and regulate the progress of the cell cycle . Checkpoints prevent cell cycle progression at specific points , allowing verification of necessary phase processes and repair of DNA damage . The cell can not proceed to the next phase until checkpoint requirements have been met . Checkpoints typically consist of a network of regulatory proteins that monitor and dictate the progression of the cell through the different stages of the cell cycle . There are several checkpoints to ensure that damaged or incomplete DNA is not passed on to daughter cells . Three main checkpoints exist : the G / S checkpoint , the G / M checkpoint and the metaphase ( mitotic ) checkpoint . G / S transition is a rate - limiting step in the cell cycle and is also known as restriction point . This is where the cell checks whether it has enough raw materials to fully replicate its DNA ( nucleotide bases , DNA synthase , chromatin , etc . ) . An unhealthy or malnourished cell will get stuck at this checkpoint . The G / M checkpoint is where the cell ensures that it has enough cytoplasm and phospholipids for two daughter cells . But sometimes more importantly , it checks to see if it is the right time to replicate . There are some situations where many cells need to all replicate simultaneously ( for example , a growing embryo should have a symmetric cell distribution until it reaches the mid-blastula transition ) . This is done by controlling the G / M checkpoint . The metaphase checkpoint is a fairly minor checkpoint , in that once a cell is in metaphase , it has committed to undergoing mitosis . However that 's not to say it is n't important . In this checkpoint , the cell checks to ensure that the spindle has formed and that all of the chromosomes are aligned at the spindle equator before anaphase begins . While these are the three `` main '' checkpoints , not all cells have to pass through each of these checkpoints in this order to replicate . Many types of cancer are caused by mutations that allow the cells to speed through the various checkpoints or even skip them altogether . Going from S to M to S phase almost consecutively . Because these cells have lost their checkpoints , any DNA mutations that may have occurred are disregarded and passed on to the daughter cells . This is one reason why cancer cells have a tendency to exponentially accrue mutations . Aside from cancer cells , many fully differentiated cell types no longer replicate so they leave the cell cycle and stay in G until their death . Thus removing the need for cellular checkpoints . An alternative model of the cell cycle response to DNA damage has also been proposed , known as the postreplication checkpoint . Checkpoint regulation plays an important role in an organism 's development . In sexual reproduction , when egg fertilization occurs , when the sperm binds to the egg , it releases signalling factors that notify the egg that it has been fertilized . Among other things , this induces the now fertilized oocyte to return from its previously dormant , G , state back into the cell cycle and on to mitotic replication and division . p53 plays an important role in triggering the control mechanisms at both G / S and G / M checkpoints . In addition to p53 , checkpoint regulators are being heavily researched for their roles in cancer growth and proliferation . Fluorescence imaging of the cell cycle ( edit ) Fluorescent proteins visualize the cell cycle progression . IFP2. 0 - hGem ( 1 / 110 ) fluorescence is shown in green and highlights the S / G / M phases . smURFP - hCdtI ( 30 / 120 ) fluorescence is shown in red and highlights the G / G phases . Pioneering work by Atsushi Miyawaki and coworkers developed the fluorescent ubiquitination - based cell cycle indicator ( FUCCI ) , which enables fluorescence imaging of the cell cycle . Originally , a green fluorescent protein , mAG , was fused to hGem ( 1 / 110 ) and an orange fluorescent protein ( mKO ) was fused to hCdt1 ( 30 / 120 ) . Note , these fusions are fragments that contain a nuclear localization signal and ubiquitination sites for degradation , but are not functional proteins . The green fluorescent protein is made during the S , G , or M phase and degraded during the G or G phase , while the orange fluorescent protein is made during the G or G phase and destroyed during the S , G , or M phase . A far - red and near - infrared FUCCI was developed using a cyanobacteria - derived fluorescent protein ( smURFP ) and a bacteriophytochrome - derived fluorescent protein ( movie found at this link ) . Role in tumor formation ( edit ) A disregulation of the cell cycle components may lead to tumor formation . As mentioned above , when some genes like the cell cycle inhibitors , RB , p53 etc . mutate , they may cause the cell to multiply uncontrollably , forming a tumor . Although the duration of cell cycle in tumor cells is equal to or longer than that of normal cell cycle , the proportion of cells that are in active cell division ( versus quiescent cells in G phase ) in tumors is much higher than that in normal tissue . Thus there is a net increase in cell number as the number of cells that die by apoptosis or senescence remains the same . The cells which are actively undergoing cell cycle are targeted in cancer therapy as the DNA is relatively exposed during cell division and hence susceptible to damage by drugs or radiation . This fact is made use of in cancer treatment ; by a process known as debulking , a significant mass of the tumor is removed which pushes a significant number of the remaining tumor cells from G to G phase ( due to increased availability of nutrients , oxygen , growth factors etc . ) . Radiation or chemotherapy following the debulking procedure kills these cells which have newly entered the cell cycle . The fastest cycling mammalian cells in culture , crypt cells in the intestinal epithelium , have a cycle time as short as 9 to 10 hours . Stem cells in resting mouse skin may have a cycle time of more than 200 hours . Most of this difference is due to the varying length of G , the most variable phase of the cycle . M and S do not vary much . In general , cells are most radiosensitive in late M and G phases and most resistant in late S phase . For cells with a longer cell cycle time and a significantly long G phase , there is a second peak of resistance late in G . The pattern of resistance and sensitivity correlates with the level of sulfhydryl compounds in the cell . Sulfhydryls are natural substances that protect cells from radiation damage and tend to be at their highest levels in S and at their lowest near mitosis .

About Wikipedia	during which phase of the cell life cycle does dna replication occur	[ "The cell cycle or cell-division cycle is the series of events that take place in a cell leading to its division and duplication of its DNA (DNA replication) to produce two daughter cells. In bacteria, which lack a cell nucleus, the cell cycle is divided into the B, C, and D periods. The B period extends from the end of cell division to the beginning of DNA replication. DNA replication occurs during the C period. The D period refers to the stage between the end of DNA replication and the splitting of the bacterial cell into two daughter cells.[1] In cells with a nucleus, as in eukaryotes, the cell cycle is also divided into three periods: interphase, the mitotic (M) phase, and cytokinesis. During interphase, the cell grows, accumulating nutrients needed for mitosis, preparing it for cell division and duplicating its DNA. During the mitotic phase, the chromosomes separate. During the final stage, cytokinesis, the chromosomes and cytoplasm separate into two new daughter cells. To ensure the proper division of the cell, there are control mechanisms known as cell cycle checkpoints." ]	[ "C period" ]

During the offseason, the team's notable free agent signings included Matt Kalil, Captain Munnerlyn and Julius Peppers. The latter spent his first eight seasons with the Panthers. On July 17, 2017, the team announced Dave Gettleman had been relieved as general manager.[1] His predecessor, Marty Hurney, was hired as interim GM a day later. For the first time since 2011, the Panthers did not play the Seattle Seahawks during the regular season. The Panthers rebounded after a disappointing 2016 campaign, where they finished 6–10 and last in the NFC South. 2017 saw the Panthers qualify for the playoffs with a 11–5 record. However, they lost to the Saints 31–26 in the Wild Card round.\n" ]	[ "the Saints" ]

G - funk Stylistic origins Funk gangsta rap P - Funk contemporary R&B West Coast hip hop psychedelic funk Cultural origins Late 1980s -- early 1990s , Long Beach , United States Typical instruments Turntables synthesizer woodwinds keyboard drum machine strings rapping background vocals talkbox Other topics Hyphy funktronica G - funk , or gangsta - funk , is a subgenre of hip hop music that emerged from West Coast Gangsta rap in the early 1990s , heavily influenced by 1970s funk sound of artists such as Parliament - Funkadelic . Contents 1 Characteristics 2 Origins 3 See also 4 References Characteristics ( edit ) G - funk ( which uses funk with an artificially altered tempo ) incorporates multi-layered and melodic synthesizers , slow hypnotic grooves , a deep bass , background female vocals , the extensive sampling of P - Funk tunes , and a high - pitched portamento saw wave synthesizer lead . The lyrical content depended on the artist and could consist of sex , drugs , violence , vandalism and distrust of and often degradation of women , but also of love for a city , love for friends and relaxing words . There was also a slurred `` lazy '' or `` smooth '' way of rapping in order to clarify words and stay in rhythmic cadence . Unlike other earlier rap acts that also utilized funk samples ( such as EPMD and the Bomb Squad ) , G - funk often utilized fewer , unaltered samples per song . Music theorist Adam Krims has described G - funk as `` a style of generally West Coast rap whose musical tracks tend to deploy live instrumentation , heavy on bass and keyboards , with minimal ( sometimes no ) sampling and often highly conventional harmonic progressions and harmonies '' . Dr. Dre , a pioneer of the G - funk genre , normally uses live musicians to replay the original music of sampled records . This enabled him to produce music that had his own sounds , rather than a direct copy of the sample . Origins ( edit ) Dr. Dre was one of the influential creators of G - funk . G - funk , given its name by Laylaw from Lawhouse Production , became a very popular genre of hip hop in the 1990s . Although G - funk originated in Los Angeles , the subgenre drew a large amount of influence from the earlier Bay Area - based sound known as Mobb music of the mid - to late 1980s , pioneered by Oakland rappers like Too Short & E-40 . Too Short had experimented with looping sounds from classic P - Funk records over bass - heavy tracks during this period . However , unlike Bay Area Mobb music , Southern California - born G - funk used more portamento synthesizers and less live instrumentation . Too Short 's lazy , drawl - heavy delivery was also a major influence on later G - funk rappers like Snoop Dogg . There has been some debate over who should be considered the `` father of G - funk '' . Dr. Dre is generally believed to have developed the sound , but Cold187um and KMG of Above the Law , Laylaw for Lawhouse Production have claimed that they developed the sound . Cold187um and KMG claim that Dr. Dre did not credit the group for pioneering the style when he released The Chronic , his Death Row debut album . They both released records on Ruthless Records prior to that . Warren G and Snoop Dogg were with Cold187um before joining Dr. Dre and Death Row . On Snoop Dogg 's Doggystyle album , Warren G and Daz Dillinger from Tha Dogg Pound claim they produced `` Ai n't No Fun '' , even though Dre is credited as the album 's sole producer . The earliest use of sine wave synthesizers and Parliament - Funkadelic - style bass grooves in Dr. Dre 's work appeared on N.W.A 's single `` Alwayz into Somethin ' '' from their 1991 album Efil4zaggin , and on N.W.A 's early compilation album N.W.A. and the Posse on which he produced a song with the same style called Dope Man , when Dr. Dre 's 1992 Death Row debut album The Chronic was released , the album was immensely successful , and consequently made g - funk a popular genre of hip hop . Another early G - funk pioneer , also from Compton , was rapper and producer DJ Quik , who was already using P - Funk instrumentals as early as 1991 in his debut album Quik Is the Name , though his most recognizable G - funk album would be 1995 's Safe & Sound and also Battlecat , whose aesthetic is a progression from the early - ' 90s G - Funk sound pioneered by the group Above the Law , characterized by phat synth bass lines and soulful keys . Other well known artists that used G - funk were : Eazy - E , Bone Thugs - n - Harmony , Tupac Shakur , Nate Dogg , Mac Dre , Spice 1 , Geto Boys , Eminem , Havoc & Prodeje , BG Knocc Out , Dresta , Rappin ' 4 - Tay , 3X Krazy and Warren G. Warren G 's first album was called Regulate ... G Funk Era , which featured Nate Dogg - who called himself `` the king of G - funk '' . Many contemporary West Coast rappers have released albums with strong G - Funk influences in recent years , including Kendrick Lamar with Good Kid , M.A.A.D City , YG with Still Brazy and Schoolboy Q with Blank Face LP . G - Funk also , perhaps surprisingly , has had some influence on the development of modern Christian hip hop and gospel rap . For example , many of the albums of Christian recording artists Gospel Gangstaz , who have also enjoyed relatively mainstream success in the past , have exhibited token G - Funk musical elements .

It is the second largest island in the Caribbean after Cuba , and the most populous island in the Caribbean ; the eleventh most populous island in the world . The 76,192 - square - kilometre ( 29,418 sq mi ) island is divided between two sovereign nations , the Spanish - speaking Dominican Republic ( 48,445 km , 18,705 sq mi ) , and French - speaking Haiti ( 27,750 km , 10,710 sq mi ) . The only other shared island in the Caribbean is Saint Martin , which is shared between France ( Saint - Martin ) and the Netherlands ( Sint Maarten ) . Hispaniola is the site of the first permanent European settlement in the Americas , founded by Christopher Columbus on his voyages in 1492 and 1493 .

See also : Colony of Santo Domingo , Colony of Saint - Domingue , History of Haiti , and History of the Dominican Republic Etymology ( edit ) The island was called by various names by its native people , the Taíno Amerindians . No known Taíno texts survive , hence , historical evidence for those names comes to us through three historians : the Italian Pietro Martyr d'Anghiera , and the Spaniards Bartolomé de las Casas and Gonzalo Fernández de Oviedo . Fernández de Oviedo and de las Casas both recorded that the island was called Haiti ( `` Mountainous Land '' ) by the Taíno . D'Anghiera added another name , Quizqueia ( supposedly `` Mother of all Lands '' ) , but later research shows that the word does not seem to derive from the original Arawak Taíno language . ( Quisqueya is today mostly used in the Dominican Republic . ) Although the Taínos ' use of Haiti is verified , and the name was used by all three historians , evidence suggests that it probably was not the Taíno name of the whole island , but only for a region ( now known as Los Haitises ) in the northeastern section of the present - day Dominican Republic . When Columbus took possession of the island in 1492 , he named it Insula Hispana in Latin and La Isla Española in Spanish , with both meaning `` the Spanish island '' . De las Casas shortened the name to `` Española '' , and when d'Anghiera detailed his account of the island in Latin , he rendered its name as Hispaniola . In the oldest documented map of the island , created by Andrés de Morales , Los Haitises is labeled Montes de Haití ( `` Haiti Mountains '' ) , and de las Casas apparently named the whole island Haiti on the basis of that particular region , as d'Anghiera states that the name of one part was given to the whole island . Due to Taíno , Spanish and French influences on the island , historically the whole island was often referred to as Haiti , Hayti , Santo Domingo , St. Domingue , or San Domingo . The colonial terms Saint - Domingue and Santo Domingo are sometimes still applied to the whole island , though these names refer , respectively , to the colonies that became Haiti and the Dominican Republic . Since Anghiera 's literary work was translated into English and French soon after being written , the name `` Hispaniola '' became the most frequently used term in English - speaking countries for the island in scientific and cartographic works . In 1918 , the United States occupation government , led by Harry Shepard Knapp , obliged the use of the name Hispaniola on the island , and recommended the use of that name to the National Geographic Society . The name Haïti was adopted by Haitian revolutionary Jean - Jacques Dessalines in 1804 , as the official name of independent Saint - Domingue , as a tribute to the Amerindian predecessors . It was also adopted as the official name of independent Santo Domingo , as the Republic of Spanish Haiti , a state that existed from November 1821 until its annexation by Haiti in February 1822 . Post-columbian ( edit ) Columbus landing on Hispaniola Christopher Columbus inadvertently landed on the island during his first voyage across the Atlantic in 1492 , where his flagship , the Santa Maria , sank after running aground on December 25 . A contingent of men were left at an outpost christened La Navidad , on the north coast of present - day Haiti . On his return the following year , following the destruction of La Navidad by the local population , Columbus quickly established a second compound farther east in present - day Dominican Republic , La Isabela . The island was inhabited by the Taíno , one of the indigenous Arawak peoples . The Taino were at first tolerant of Columbus and his crew , and helped him to construct La Navidad on what is now Môle - Saint - Nicolas , Haiti , in December 1492 . European colonization of the island began in earnest the following year , when 1,300 men arrived from Spain under the watch of Bartolomeo Columbus . In 1496 the town of Nueva Isabela was founded . After being destroyed by a hurricane , it was rebuilt on the opposite side of the Ozama River and called Santo Domingo . It is the oldest permanent European settlement in the Americas . Chiefdoms of Hispaniola Several 16th century writers estimated the 1492 population of Hispaniola at over 1 million people . Twentieth - century estimates of the figure range from 60,000 to 8,000,000 , but center around the 500,000 to 1,000,000 range . Harsh enslavement by Spanish colonists , redirection of food supplies and labor towards the colonists , had a devastating impact on both mortality and fertility over the first quarter century . Colonial administrators and Dominican and Hyeronimite priests observed that the search for gold and agrarian enslavement through the encomienda system were depressing population . Demographic data from two provinces in 1514 shows a low birth rate consistent with a 3.5 % annual population decline . Just 14,000 Taínos survived in 1517 . In 1503 the colony began to import African slaves , believing them more capable of performing physical labor . The first documented outbreak of smallpox , previously an Eastern hemisphere disease , on Hispaniola occurred in December 1518 among enslaved African miners . Some scholars speculate that European diseases arrived before this date , but there is no compelling evidence for an outbreak . The natives had no immunity to European diseases , including smallpox . By May 1519 , as many as one - third of the remaining Taínos had died . Christopher Columbus brought sugar cane on his second voyage to the island . Molasses was the chief product . Diego Colon 's plantation had 40 African slaves in 1522 . By 1526 , 19 mills were in operation from Azua to Santo Domingo . In 1574 , a census taken of the Greater Antilles reported 1,000 Spaniards and 12,000 African slaves on Hispaniola . As Spain conquered new regions on the mainland of the Americas ( Spanish Main ) , its interest in Hispaniola waned , and the colony 's population grew slowly . By the early 17th century , the island and its smaller neighbors ( notably Tortuga ) became regular stopping points for Caribbean pirates . In 1606 , the government of Philip III ordered all inhabitants of Hispaniola to move close to Santo Domingo , to avoid interaction with pirates . Rather than secure the island , his action meant that French , English and Dutch pirates established their own bases on the abandoned north and west coasts of the island . French map of Hispaniola by Nicolas de Fer In 1665 , French colonization of the island was officially recognized by King Louis XIV . The French colony was given the name Saint - Domingue . In the 1697 Treaty of Ryswick , Spain formally ceded the western third of the island to France . Saint - Domingue quickly came to overshadow the east in both wealth and population . Nicknamed the `` Pearl of the Antilles , '' it became the richest and most prosperous colony in the West Indies , with a system of human enslavement used to grow and harvest sugar cane , during a time when demand for sugar was high in Europe . Slavery kept prices low and profit was maximized at the expense of human lives . It was an important port in the Americas for goods and products flowing to and from France and Europe . With the treaty of Peace of Basel , revolutionary France emerged as a major European power . In the second 1795 Treaty of Basel ( July 22 ) , Spain ceded the eastern two - thirds of the island of Hispaniola , later to become the Dominican Republic . French settlers had begun to colonize some areas in the Spanish side of the territory . European colonists often died young due to tropical fevers , as well as from violent slave resistance in the late eighteenth century . When the French Revolution abolished slavery in the colonies on February 4 , 1794 , it was a European first , and when Napoleon reimposed slavery in 1802 it led to a major upheaval by the emancipated black slaves . Thousands of the French troops sent by Napoleon to reestablish slavery succumbed to yellow fever during the summer months , and more than half of the French army died because of disease . After the French removed the surviving 7,000 troops in late 1803 , the leaders of the revolution declared western Hispaniola the new nation of independent Haiti in early 1804 . France continued to rule Spanish Santo Domingo . In 1805 , Haitian troops of General Henri Christophe tried to conquer all of Hispaniola . They invaded Santo Domingo and sacked the towns of Santiago de los Caballeros and Moca , killing most of their residents , but news of a French fleet sailing towards Haiti forced General Christophe to return to Haiti , leaving the eastern Spanish side of the island in French hands . In 1808 , following Napoleon 's invasion of Spain , the criollos of Santo Domingo revolted against French rule and , with the aid of the United Kingdom ( Spain 's ally ) returned Santo Domingo to Spanish control . Fearing the influence of a society that had successfully fought and won against their enslavers , the United States and European powers refused to recognize Haiti , the second republic in the western hemisphere . France demanded a high payment for compensation to slaveholders who lost their property , and Haiti was saddled with unmanageable debt for decades . It became one of the poorest countries in the Americas , while the Dominican Republic gradually has developed into the largest economy of Central America and the Caribbean . Geography ( edit ) See also : Geography of Haiti and Geography of the Dominican Republic Topographic map of Hispaniola Hispaniola is the second - largest island in the Caribbean ( after Cuba ) , with an area of 76,192 square kilometers ( 29,418 sq mi ) , 48,440 square kilometers ( 18,700 sq mi ) of which is under the sovereignty of the Dominican Republic occupying the eastern portion and 27,750 square kilometers ( 10,710 sq mi ) under the sovereignty of Haiti occupying the western portion . The island of Cuba lies 80 kilometers ( 50 mi ) to the northwest across the Windward Passage ; to the southwest lies Jamaica , separated by the Jamaica Channel . Puerto Rico lies east of Hispaniola across the Mona Passage . The Bahamas and Turks and Caicos Islands lie to the north . Its westernmost point is known as Cap Carcasse . Cuba , Hispaniola , Jamaica , and Puerto Rico are collectively known as the Greater Antilles . The island has five major mountain ranges : The Central Range , known in the Dominican Republic as the Cordillera Central , spans the central part of the island , extending from the south coast of the Dominican Republic into northwestern Haiti , where it is known as the Massif du Nord . This mountain range boasts the highest peak in the Antilles , Pico Duarte at 3,098 meters ( 10,164 ft ) above sea level . The Cordillera Septentrional runs parallel to the Central Range across the northern end of the Dominican Republic , extending into the Atlantic Ocean as the Samaná Peninsula . The Cordillera Central and Cordillera Septentrional are separated by the lowlands of the Cibao Valley and the Atlantic coastal plains , which extend westward into Haiti as the Plaine du Nord ( Northern Plain ) . The lowest of the ranges is the Cordillera Oriental , in the eastern part of the country . The Sierra de Neiba rises in the southwest of the Dominican Republic , and continues northwest into Haiti , parallel to the Cordillera Central , as the Montagnes Noires , Chaîne des Matheux and the Montagnes du Trou d'Eau . The Plateau Central lies between the Massif du Nord and the Montagnes Noires , and the Plaine de l'Artibonite lies between the Montagnes Noires and the Chaîne des Matheux , opening westward toward the Gulf of Gonâve , the largest gulf of the Antilles . The southern range begins in the southwestern most Dominican Republic as the Sierra de Bahoruco , and extends west into Haiti as the Massif de la Selle and the Massif de la Hotte , which form the mountainous spine of Haiti 's southern peninsula . Pic de la Selle is the highest peak in the southern range , the third highest peak in the Antilles and consequently the highest point in Haiti , at 2,680 meters ( 8,790 ft ) above sea level . A depression runs parallel to the southern range , between the southern range and the Chaîne des Matheux - Sierra de Neiba . It is known as the Plaine du Cul - de-Sac in Haiti , and Haiti 's capital Port - au - Prince lies at its western end . The depression is home to a chain of salt lakes , including Lake Azuei in Haiti and Lake Enriquillo in the Dominican Republic . The island has four distinct ecoregions . The Hispaniolan moist forests ecoregion covers approximately 50 % of the island , especially the northern and eastern portions , predominantly in the lowlands but extending up to 2,100 meters ( 6,900 ft ) elevation . The Hispaniolan dry forests ecoregion occupies approximately 20 % of the island , lying in the rain shadow of the mountains in the southern and western portion of the island and in the Cibao valley in the center - north of the island . The Hispaniolan pine forests occupy the mountainous 15 % of the island , above 850 metres ( 2,790 ft ) elevation . The flooded grasslands and savannas ecoregion in the south central region of the island surrounds a chain of lakes and lagoons in which the most notable include that of Lake Azuei and Trou Caïman in Haiti and the nearby Lake Enriquillo in the Dominican Republic . Fauna ( edit ) There are many bird species in Hispaniola , and the island 's amphibian species are also diverse . Flora ( edit ) The island has four distinct ecoregions .

Satellite image depicting the border between Haiti ( left ) and the Dominican Republic ( right ) In Haiti , deforestation has long been cited by scientists as a source of ecological crisis ; the timber industry dates back to French colonial rule . Haiti has seen a dramatic reduction of forests due to the excessive and increasing use of charcoal as fuel for cooking . Recent in - depth studies of satellite imagery and environmental analysis regarding forest classification conclude an accurate estimate of approximately 30 % tree cover , a stark decrease in the 60 % forest cover in 1925 . Despite recent in - depth studies , the notoriously unsubstantiated 2 % forest cover estimate has been widely circulated in media and in discourse concerning the country . Despite the drastic underestimation of Haiti 's forest cover , the country has been significantly deforested over the last 50 years , resulting in the desertification of portions of the Haitian territory . In the Dominican Republic the forest cover has increased . In 2003 the Dominican forest cover had been reduced to 32 % of the territory , but in 2011 the trend towards reducing reverts to increase forest cover by eight percentage points to stand at nearly 40 % of territory . The success of the Dominican forest growth is due to several Dominican government policies and private organizations for the purpose , and a strong educational campaign that has resulted in increased awareness on the Dominican people of the importance of forests for their welfare and in other forms of life on the island . Climate ( edit ) Cordillera Central , Dominican Republic Owing to its mountainous topography , Hispaniola 's climate shows considerable variation over short distances , and is the most varied of all the Antilles . Except in the Northern Hemisphere summer season , the predominant winds over Hispaniola are the northeast trade winds . As in Jamaica and Cuba , these winds deposit their moisture on the northern mountains , and create a distinct rain shadow on the southern coast , where some areas receive as little as 400 millimetres ( 16 in ) of rainfall , and have semi-arid climates . Annual rainfall under 600 millimetres ( 24 in ) also occurs on the southern coast of Haiti 's northwest peninsula and in the central Azúa region of the Plaine du Cul - de-Sac . In these regions , moreover , there is generally little rainfall outside hurricane season from August to October , and droughts are by no means uncommon when hurricanes do not come . Les Cayes , Sud , Haiti On the northern coast , in contrast , rainfall may peak between December and February , though some rain falls in all months of the year . Annual amounts typically range from 1,700 to 2,000 millimetres ( 67 to 79 in ) on the northern coastal lowlands ; there is probably much more in the Cordillera Septentrional , though no data exist . The interior of Hispaniola , along with the southeastern coast centred around Santo Domingo , typically receives around 1,400 millimetres ( 55 in ) per year , with a distinct wet season from May to October . Usually , this wet season has two peaks : one around May , the other around the hurricane season . In the interior highlands , rainfall is much greater , around 3,100 millimetres ( 120 in ) per year , but with a similar pattern to that observed in the central lowlands . As is usual for tropical islands , variations of temperature are much less marked than rainfall variations , and depend only on altitude . Lowland Hispaniola is generally oppressively hot and humid , with temperatures averaging 28 ° C ( 82 ° F ) . with high humidity during the daytime , and around 20 ° C ( 68 ° F ) at night . At higher altitudes , temperatures fall steadily , so that frosts occur during the dry season on the highest peaks , where maxima are no higher than 18 ° C ( 64 ° F ) . Demographics ( edit ) The Dominican Republic is a Hispanophone nation of approximately 10 million people . Spanish is spoken by all Dominicans as a primary language . Roman Catholicism is the official and dominant religion . Haiti is a Francophone nation of roughly 10 million people . Although French is spoken as a primary language by the educated and wealthy minority , virtually the entire population speaks Haitian Creole , one of several French - derived creole languages . Roman Catholicism is the dominant religion , practiced by more than half the population , although in some cases in combination with Haitian Vodou faith . Another 25 % of the populace belong to Protestant churches . Haiti emerged as the first Black republic in the world . Ethnic composition ( edit ) The ethnic composition of the Dominican population is 73 % mixed ( African / European ) , 16 % white and 11 % black . The ethnic composition of Haiti is estimated to be 95 % black , 5 % white and mixed . Economics ( edit ) The island has the largest economy in the Greater Antilles , however most of the economic development is found in the Dominican Republic , the Dominican economy being nearly 800 % larger than the Haitian economy . The estimated annual per capita income is US $1,300 in Haiti and US $8,200 in Dominican Republic . The divergence between the level of economic development between Haiti and Dominican Republic makes its border the higher contrast of all western land borders and is evident that the Dominican Republic has one of the highest migration issues in the Americas .

Precious metals ( edit ) Christopher Columbus , noting `` the land and trees resembled those of Spain , and that the sailors caught in their nets many fish like those of Spain ... named it Espanola on Sunday , December 9th . '' One of the first inhabitants he came across on this island was `` a girl wearing only a gold nose plug . '' Columbus later learned that the `` land of gold was farther east . '' Soon the Tainos were trading pieces of gold for hawk 's bells with their cacique declaring the gold came from Cibao . Traveling further east from Navidad , Columbus came across the Yaque del Norte River , which he named Rio de Oro because its `` sands abound in gold dust . '' On Columbus ' return during his second voyage he learned it was the cacique Caonabo , `` lord of the mines '' , who had massacred his settlement at Navidad . While Columbus established a new settlement at La Isabela on Jan. 1494 , he sent Alonso de Ojeda and 15 men to search for the `` mines of Cibao . '' After a six - day journey , Ojeda came across an area `` very rich in gold '' , in which the `` Indians took gold out of a brook ... and many other streams in that province . '' Columbus himself visited the mines of Cibao on 12 March 1494 . He constructed the Fort of Santo Tomas , present day Janico , with Captain Pedro Margarit in command of 56 men . On 24 March 1495 , Columbus with his ally Guacanagarix , embarked on a war of revenge against Caonabo , capturing him and his family while `` killing many Indians and capturing others . '' Afterwards , `` every person of fourteen years of age or upward was to pay a large hawk 's bell of gold dust . '' Miguel Diaz and Francisco de Garay discovered large gold nuggets on the lower Haina River in 1496 . These San Cristobal mines were later known as the Minas Viejas mines . Then , in 1499 , the first major discovery of gold was made in the cordillera central , which led to a mining boom . By 1501 , Columbus ' cousin Giovanni Colombo , had discovered gold near Buenaventura , the deposits were later known as Minas Nuevas . Two major mining areas resulted , one along San Cristobal - Buenaventura , and another in Cibao within the La Vega - Cotuy - Bonao triangle , while Santiago de los Caballeros , Concepcion , and Bonao became mining towns . The gold rush of 1500 -- 1508 ensued . Ferdinand `` ordered gold from the richest mines reserved for the Crown . '' Thus , Ovando expropriated the gold mines of Miguel Diaz and Francisco de Garay in 1504 , as pit mines became royal mines , though placers were open to private prospectors . Furthermore , Ferdinand wanted the `` best Indians '' working his royal mines , and kept 967 in the San Cristobal mining area supervised by salaried miners . Under Nicolás de Ovando y Cáceres ' governorship , the Indians were made to work in the gold mines , `` where they were grossly overworked , mistreated , and underfed , '' according to Pons . By 1503 , the Spanish Crown legalized the distribution of Indians to work the mines as part of the encomienda system . According to Pons , `` Once the Indians entered the mines , hunger and disease literally wiped them out . '' By 1508 the Indian population of about 400,000 was reduced to 60,000 , and by 1514 , only 26,334 remained . About half were located in the mining towns of Concepcion , Santiago , Santo Domingo , and Buenaventura . The repartimiento of 1514 accelerated emigration of the Spanish colonists , coupled with the exhaustion of the mines . In 1516 , a smallpox epidemic killed an additional 8,000 , of the remaining 11,000 Indians , in one month . By 1519 , according to Pons , `` Both the gold economy and the Indian population became extinct at the same time . '' However , writing in 1860 , Courtney observed , the island is `` one immense gold field '' , of which the early Spaniards had `` scarcely began to be developed . '' Additionally , `` The gold is still found in the Cibao regions as of old . '' By 1919 , Condit and Ross noted `` the greater part of the Republic is covered by concessions granted by the government for mining minerals of diverse sorts . '' Besides gold , these minerals included silver , manganese , copper , magnetite , iron and nickel . Mining operations in 2016 have taken advantage of the volcanogenic massive sulfide ore deposits ( VMS ) around Maimón . To the northeast , the Pueblo Viejo Gold Mine was operated by state - owned Rosario Dominicana from 1975 until 1991 . In 2009 , Pueblo Viejo Dominicana Corporation , formed by Barrick Gold and Goldcorp , started open - pit mining operations of the Monte Negro and Moore oxide deposits . The mined ore is processed with gold cyanidation . Pyrite and sphalerite are the main sulfide minerals found in the 120 m thick volcanic conglomerates and agglomerates , which constitute the world 's second largest sulphidation gold deposit . Between Bonao and Maimon , Falconbridge Dominicana has been mining nickel laterites since 1971 . The Cerro de Maimon copper / gold open - pit mine southeast of Maimon has been operated by Perilya since 2006 . Copper is extracted from the sulfide ores , while gold and silver are extracted from both the sulfide and the oxide ores . Processing is via froth flotation and cyanidation . The ore is located in the VMS Early Cretaceous Maimon Formation . Goethite enriched with gold and silver is found in the 30 m thick oxide cap . Below that cap is a supergene zone containing pyrite , chalcopyrite , and sphalerite . Below the supergene zone is found the unaltered massive sulphide mineralization .

During British Summer Time ( BST ) , civil time in the United Kingdom is advanced one hour forward of Greenwich Mean Time ( GMT ) ( in effect , changing the time zone from UTC + 0 to UTC + 1 ) , so that evenings have more daylight and mornings have less . BST begins at 01 : 00 GMT on the last Sunday of March and ends at 01 : 00 GMT ( 02 : 00 BST ) on the last Sunday of October . Since 22 October 1995 , the starting and finishing times of daylight saving time across the European Union have been aligned -- for instance Central European Summer Time begins and ends on the same Sundays at exactly the same time ( that is , 02 : 00 CET , which is 01 : 00 GMT ) . Between 1972 and 1995 , BST began and ended at 02 : 00 GMT on the third Sunday in March and fourth Sunday in October .

His original proposal was to move the clocks forward by 80 minutes , in 20 - minute weekly steps on Sundays in April and by the reverse procedure in September . In 1916 , BST began on 21 May and ended on 1 October . Willett never got to see his idea implemented , for he died in early 1915 . Periods of deviation ( edit ) In the summers of 1941 to 1945 , during the Second World War , Britain was two hours ahead of GMT and operating on British Double Summer Time ( BDST ) . To bring this about , the clocks were not put back by an hour at the end of summer in 1940 ; in subsequent years , clocks continued to be advanced by one hour each spring and put back by an hour each autumn until July 1945 . The clocks were brought back in line with GMT at the end of summer in 1945 . In 1947 , due to severe fuel shortages , clocks were advanced by one hour on two occasions during the spring , and put back by one hour on two occasions during the autumn , meaning that Britain was back on BDST during that summer . An inquiry during the winter of 1959 -- 60 , in which 180 national organisations were consulted , revealed a slight preference for a change to all - year GMT + 1 , but instead the length of summer time was extended as a trial . A further inquiry during 1966 -- 67 led the government of Harold Wilson to introduce the British Standard Time experiment , with Britain remaining on GMT + 1 throughout the year . This took place between 27 October 1968 and 31 October 1971 , when there was a reversion to the previous arrangement . Analysis of accident data for the first two years of the experiment , published by HMSO in October 1970 , indicated that while there had been an increase in casualties in the morning , there had been a substantially greater decrease in casualties in the evening , with a total of around 2,500 fewer people killed and seriously injured during the first two winters of the experiment , at a time when about 1,000 people a day were killed or injured on the roads . However , the period coincided with the introduction of drink - driving legislation ; the estimates were later modified downwards in 1989 . The trial was the subject of a House of Commons debate on 2 December 1970 when , on a free vote , the House of Commons voted by 366 to 81 votes to end the experiment . Debates on reform ( edit ) Campaigners , including the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents ( RoSPA ) and environmental campaigners 10 : 10 , have made recommendations that British Summer Time be maintained during the winter months , and that a `` double summertime '' be applied to the current British Summer Time period , putting the UK one hour ahead of GMT during winter , and two hours ahead during summer . This proposal is referred to as `` Single / Double Summer Time '' ( SDST ) , and would effectively mean the UK adopting the same time zone as European countries such as France , Germany , and mainland Spain ( Central European Time and Central European Summer Time ) . RoSPA has suggested that this would reduce the number of accidents over this period as a result of the lighter evenings . RoSPA have called for the 1968 -- 71 trial to be repeated with modern evaluation methods . 10 : 10 's `` Lighter Later '' campaign , in addition to publicising the risk reductions described above , also highlights the potential energy benefits of Single / Double Summer Time , arguing that the change could `` save almost 500,000 tonnes of CO each year , equivalent to taking 185,000 cars off the road permanently '' . These proposals are opposed by some farmers and other outdoor workers and by many residents of Scotland and Northern Ireland , as it would mean that in northern Britain and Northern Ireland the winter sunrise would not occur until 10 : 00 or even later . However , in March 2010 , the National Farmers ' Union indicated that it was not against Single / Double Summer Time , with many farmers expressing a preference for the change . Other opponents of daylight saving measures say that darker mornings , especially in Scotland , could affect children going to school and people travelling to work . Others have proposed the abolition of BST entirely , favouring GMT all year round . Advocates of this cite in their support a lack of practical gains from the adjustment of time , arguing instead that changes in school and / or business hours would achieve similar results without disrupting a scientific standard . Current statute and parliamentary attempts at change ( edit ) The current arrangement is now defined by the Summer Time Order 2002 which defines BST as `` ... the period beginning at one o'clock , Greenwich mean time , in the morning of the last Sunday in March and ending at one o'clock , Greenwich mean time , in the morning of the last Sunday in October . '' This period was stipulated by a directive ( 2000 / 84 / EC ) of the European Parliament which required European countries to implement a common summer time ( as originally introduced in 1997 , in Directive 97 / 44 / EC ) . In part because of Britain 's longitudinal length , debate emerges most years over the applicability of BST , and the issue is the subject of parliamentary debate . In 2004 , English MP Nigel Beard tabled a Private Member 's Bill in the House of Commons proposing that England and Wales should be able to determine their own time independently of Scotland and Northern Ireland . In 2005 , Lord Tanlaw introduced the Lighter Evenings ( Experiment ) Bill into the House of Lords , which would advance winter and summer time by one hour for a three - year trial period at the discretion of `` devolved bodies '' , allowing Scotland and Northern Ireland the option not to take part . The proposal was opposed by the government . The bill received its second reading on 24 March 2006 ; however , it did not pass into law . The Local Government Association has also called for such a trial . Daylight saving bill 2010 -- 12 ( edit ) The Daylight Saving Bill 2010 -- 12 , a private member 's bill by Conservative backbench MP Rebecca Harris , would have required the government to conduct an analysis of the potential costs and benefits of advancing time by one hour for all , or part of , the year . If such an analysis were to find that a clock change would benefit the UK , the bill required that the government should then initiate a trial clock change to determine the full effects . In 2010 , Prime Minister David Cameron stated he would seriously consider proposals in the bill . The bill was only likely to be passed with government support . Despite initial opposition in Scotland to the move , Cameron stated his preference was for the change to apply across the United Kingdom , stating `` We are a United Kingdom . I want us to have a united time zone . '' A survey in late October 2010 of about 3,000 people for British energy firm npower suggested that a narrow majority of Scots may be in favour of this change , though the Scottish Government remained opposed . The bill was debated again in Parliament in November 2011 and sent to committee in December 2011 . In January 2012 , the bill was again debated on the floor of the House of Commons where it was filibustered out of Parliament by opponents . Angus MacNeil , MP for Na h - Eileanan an Iar , argued that it would adversely affect the population of Northern Scotland , while Jacob Rees - Mogg , MP for North East Somerset , tried to introduce an amendment to give Somerset its own time zone , 15 minutes behind London , in order to highlight what he saw as the absurdities of the bill . With all its allocated time used up , the bill could proceed no further through Parliament .

Singapore was the major British military base in South - East Asia and was the keystone of British imperial interwar defence planning for South - East Asia as well as the South - West Pacific . The fighting in Singapore lasted from 8 to 15 February 1942 although this was preceded by two months of British resistance as Japanese forces advanced down the Malaya peninsula . The battle resulted in the Japanese capture of Singapore and the largest surrender of British - led military personnel in history . About 80,000 British , Indian and Australian troops became prisoners of war , joining 50,000 taken by the Japanese in the earlier Malayan Campaign . The British prime minister , Winston Churchill , called it the `` worst disaster '' in British military history . Contents 1 Background 1.1 Outbreak of war 1.2 Invasion of Malaya 2 Prelude 3 Battle 3.1 Initial Japanese landings 3.2 Air war 3.3 Second day 3.4 Japanese breakthrough 3.5 Alexandra Hospital massacre 3.6 Fall of Singapore 4 Aftermath 5 See also 6 Notes 7 References 8 Further reading 9 External links Background ( edit ) Main article : Singapore strategy Outbreak of War ( edit ) See also : Second Sino - Japanese War During 1940 and 1941 , the Allies had imposed a trade embargo on Japan in response to its continued campaigns in China and its occupation of French Indochina . The basic plan for taking Singapore was worked out in July 1940 . Intelligence gained in late 1940 -- early 1941 did not alter the basic plan , but confirmed it in the minds of Japanese decision makers . On 11 November 1940 , the German raider Atlantis captured the British steamer Automedon in the Indian Ocean , which was carrying the papers meant for Air Marshal Sir Robert Brooke - Popham , the British commander in the Far East , which included much information about the weakness of the Singapore base . In December 1940 , the Germans handed over copies of the papers to the Japanese . The Japanese had broken the British Army 's codes and in January 1941 , the Second Department ( the intelligence - gathering arm ) of the Imperial Army had interpreted and read a message from Singapore to London complaining in much detail about the weak state of `` Fortress Singapore '' , a message that was so frank in its admission of weakness that the Japanese at first suspected it was a British plant , believing that no officer would be so open in admitting weaknesses to his superiors , and only believed it was genuine after cross-checking the message with the Automedon papers . As Japan 's oil reserves were rapidly depleted by the ongoing military operations in China as well as industrial consumption , in the latter half of 1941 , the Japanese began preparing a military response to secure vital resources if diplomatic efforts to resolve the situation failed . As a part of this process , the Japanese planners determined a broad scheme of manoeuvre that incorporated simultaneous attacks on the territories of Britain , The Netherlands and the United States . This would see landings in Malaya and Hong Kong as part of a general move south to secure Singapore , which was connected to Malaya by the Johor -- Singapore Causeway , and then an invasion of the oil - rich area of Borneo and Java in the Dutch East Indies . In addition , strikes would be made against the United States naval fleet at Pearl Harbor , as well as landings in the Philippines , and attacks on Guam , Wake Island and the Gilbert Islands . Following these attacks , a period of consolidation was planned , after which the Japanese planners intended to build up the defences of the territory that had been captured by establishing a strong perimeter around it stretching from the India -- Burma frontier through to Wake Island , and traversing Malaya , the Dutch East Indies , New Guinea and New Britain , the Bismarck Archipelago , and the Marshall and Gilbert Islands . With this perimeter , it was intended to block Allied attempts to regain the lost territory and defeat their will to fight .

This was virtually simultaneous with the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor which precipitated the United States entry in to the war . Thailand initially resisted , but soon had to yield . The Japanese then proceeded overland across the Thai -- Malayan border to attack Malaya . At this time , the Japanese began bombing strategic sites in Singapore . The Japanese 25th Army was resisted in northern Malaya by III Corps of the British Indian Army . Although the 25th Army was outnumbered by Allied forces in Malaya and Singapore , Japanese commanders concentrated their forces . The Japanese were superior in close air support , armour , co-ordination , tactics and experience . While conventional British military thinking characterised the Malayan jungles as `` impassable '' , the Japanese were repeatedly able to use it to their advantage to outflank hastily established defensive lines . Prior to the Battle of Singapore the most resistance was met at the Battle of Muar , which involved the Australian 8th Division and the Indian 45th Brigade . At the start of the campaign , the Allied forces had only 164 first - line aircraft on hand in Malaya and Singapore , and the only fighter was the obsolete Brewster 339E Buffalo . These aircraft were operated by two Royal Australian Air Force ( RAAF ) , two Royal Air Force ( RAF ) , and one Royal New Zealand Air Force ( RNZAF ) squadron . Major shortcomings included a slow rate of climb and the aircraft 's fuel system which required the pilot to hand pump fuel if flying above 6,000 feet ( 1,800 m ) . In contrast , the Imperial Japanese Army Air Force was more numerous , and better trained than the second - hand assortment of untrained pilots and inferior allied equipment remaining in Malaya , Borneo and Singapore . Their fighter aircraft were superior to the Allied fighters , which helped the Japanese to gain air supremacy . Although outnumbered and outclassed , the Buffalos were able to provide some resistance , with RAAF pilots alone managing to shoot down at least 20 Japanese aircraft before the few that survived were withdrawn . View of the blown up causeway , with the gap visible in the middle , which delayed the Japanese conquest for over a week to 8 February Force Z , consisting of the battleship HMS Prince of Wales , the battlecruiser HMS Repulse and four destroyers , sailed north out of Singapore on 8 December to oppose expected Japanese landings along the coast of Malaya . Japanese land - based aircraft found and sank the two capital ships on 10 December , leaving the east coast of the Malayan peninsula exposed and allowing the Japanese to continue their amphibious landings . Japanese forces quickly isolated , surrounded , and forced the surrender of Indian units defending the coast . They advanced down the Malayan peninsula overwhelming the defences , despite their numerical inferiority . The Japanese forces also used bicycle infantry and light tanks , allowing swift movement through the jungle . The Allies , however , having thought the terrain made them impractical , had no tanks , and only a few armoured vehicles , which put them at a severe disadvantage . Although more Allied units -- including some from the Australian 8th Division -- joined the campaign , the Japanese prevented the Allied forces from regrouping . They also overran cities and advanced toward Singapore . The city was an anchor for the operations of the American - British - Dutch - Australian Command ( ABDACOM ) , the first Allied joint command of the Second World War . Singapore controlled the main shipping channel between the Indian and the Pacific Oceans . An effective ambush was carried out by the 2 / 30th Battalion on the main road at the Gemenceh River near Gemas on 14 January causing heavy Japanese casualties . At Bakri , from 18 to 22 January , Lieutenant Colonel Charles Anderson 's 2 / 19th Battalion repeatedly fought through Japanese positions before running out of ammunition near Parit Sulong . Anderson 's battalion was forced to leave behind about 110 Australian and 40 Indian wounded , who were later massacred by the Japanese . For his leadership in the fighting withdrawal , Anderson was awarded the Victoria Cross . A determined counterattack from Lieutenant - Colonel John Parkin 's 5 / 11th Sikh Regiment in the area of Niyor , near Kluang , on 25 January , and a successful ambush around the Nithsdale Estate by the 2 / 18th Battalion on 26 / 27 January , bought valuable time and permitted Brigadier Harold Taylor 's Eastforce -- based on the 22nd Brigade -- to withdraw from eastern Johore . On 31 January , the last Allied forces left Malaya and Allied engineers blew a hole in the causeway linking Johor and Singapore . Prelude ( edit ) Singapore in early February 1942 ; the disposition of Allied ground forces is in red . The main north -- south transport corridor , formed by Woodlands Road and the railway , connecting the city centre ( in the south - east ) and The Causeway ( central north ) , is the black line running through the centre of the island . Sarimbun is at the north - west corner of the island ; Bukit Timah is located close to the centre on the transport corridor ; Pasir Panjang is between the city centre and the southwest corner of the island and the `` Jurong Line '' is the bracket - like shape in red , just west of Woodlands Road During the weeks preceding the invasion , the Allied force suffered a number of both subdued and openly disruptive disagreements amongst its senior commanders , as well as pressure from the Australian Prime Minister , John Curtin . Lieutenant - General Arthur Percival , commander of the garrison , had 85,000 soldiers , the equivalent , on paper at least , of just over four divisions . Of this figure , 15,000 men were employed in logistical , administrative , or other non-combatant roles . The remaining force was a mix of front - line and second - line troops . There were 45 infantry battalions -- 21 Indian , 13 British , six Australian , four Indian States Forces assigned to airfield defence , 3 Straits Settlements Volunteer Force , and 2 Malayan . In addition , there were two British machine - gun battalions , one Australian , and a British reconnaissance battalion . The newly arrived British 18th Infantry Division -- under Major - General Merton Beckwith - Smith -- was at full strength , but lacked experience and appropriate training . The rest of the force was of mixed quality , condition , training , equipment , and morale . Lionel Wigmore , the Australian official historian of the Malayan Campaign , wrote `` Only one of the Indian battalions was up to numerical strength , three ( in the 44th Brigade ) had recently arrived in a semi-trained condition , nine had been hastily reorganised with a large intake of raw recruits , and four were being re-formed but were far from being fit for action . Six of the United Kingdom battalions ( in the 54th and 55th Brigades of the 18th Division ) had only just landed in Malaya , and the other seven battalions were under - manned . Of the Australian battalions , three had drawn heavily upon recently - arrived , practically - untrained recruits . The Malay battalions had not been in action , and the Straits Settlements Volunteers were only sketchily trained . Further , losses on the mainland had resulted in a general shortage of equipment . '' Percival gave Major - General Gordon Bennett 's two brigades from the Australian 8th Division responsibility for the western side of Singapore , including the prime invasion points in the northwest of the island . This was mostly mangrove swamp and jungle , broken by rivers and creeks . In the heart of the `` Western Area '' was RAF Tengah , Singapore 's largest airfield at the time . The Australian 22nd Brigade , under Brigadier Harold Taylor , was assigned a 10 mi ( 16 km ) wide sector in the west , and the 27th Brigade , under Brigadier Duncan Maxwell , had responsibility for a 4,000 yd ( 3,700 m ) zone just west of the Causeway . The infantry positions were reinforced by the recently arrived Australian 2 / 4th Machine - Gun Battalion . Also under Bennett 's command was the 44th Indian Infantry Brigade . The Indian III Corps under Lieutenant - General Sir Lewis Heath -- including the Indian 11th Infantry Division under Major - General B.W. Key with reinforcements from the 8th Indian Brigade , and the British 18th Division -- was assigned the north - eastern sector , known as the `` Northern Area '' . This included the naval base at Sembawang . The `` Southern Area '' -- including the main urban areas in the south - east -- was commanded by Major - General Frank Keith Simmons . His forces consisted of elements of the 1st Malaya Infantry Brigade and the Straits Settlements Volunteer Force Brigade with the Indian 12th Infantry Brigade in reserve . From 3 February , the Allies were shelled by Japanese artillery and air attacks on Singapore intensified over the next five days . The artillery and air bombardment strengthened , severely disrupting communications between Allied units and their commanders and affecting preparations for the defence of the island . From aerial reconnaissance , scouts , infiltrators and high ground across the straits , such as at Istana Bukit Serene and the Sultan of Johor 's palace , the Japanese commander -- General Tomoyuki Yamashita -- and his staff gained excellent knowledge of the Allied positions . Yamashita and his officers stationed themselves at Istana Bukit Serene and the Johor state secretariat building -- the Sultan Ibrahim Building -- to plan for the invasion of Singapore . Although advised by his top military personnel that Istana Bukit Serene was an easy target , Yamashita was confident that the British Army would not attack the palace because it belonged to the Sultan of Johor . Yamashita 's prediction was correct ; despite being observed by Australian artillery , permission to engage the palace was denied by their commanding general , Bennett . One of Singapore 's 15 - inch coastal defence guns elevated for firing It is a commonly repeated misconception that Singapore 's famous large - calibre coastal guns were ineffective against the Japanese because they were designed to face south to defend the harbour against naval attack and could not be turned round to face north . In fact , most of the guns could be turned , and were indeed fired at the invaders . However , the guns -- which included one battery of three 15 in ( 380 mm ) weapons and one with two 15 in ( 380 mm ) guns -- were supplied mostly with armour - piercing ( AP ) shells and few high explosive ( HE ) shells . AP shells were designed to penetrate the hulls of heavily armoured warships and were mostly ineffective against infantry targets . Military analysts later estimated that if the guns had been well supplied with HE shells the Japanese attackers would have suffered heavy casualties , but the invasion would not have been prevented by this means alone . Percival incorrectly guessed that the Japanese would land forces on the north - east side of Singapore , ignoring advice that the north - west was a more likely direction of attack ( where the Straits of Johor were the narrowest and a series of river mouths provided cover for the launching of water craft ) . This was encouraged by the deliberate movement of enemy troops in this sector to deceive the British . As such a large portion of defence equipment and resources had been incorrectly allocated to the north east sector , where the most complete and freshest formation -- the British 18th Division -- was deployed , while the incomplete Australian 8th Division sector with just two brigades had no serious fixed defensive works or obstacles . To compound matters , Percival had ordered the Australians to defend forward so as to cover the waterway , yet this meant they were immediately fully committed to any fighting , limiting their flexibility , whilst also reducing their defensive depth . The two Australian brigades were subsequently allocated a very wide frontage of over 18 kilometres ( 11 mi ) and were separated by the Kranji River . Yamashita had just over 30,000 men from three divisions : the Imperial Guards Division under Lieutenant - General Takuma Nishimura , the 5th Division under Lieutenant - General Takuro Matsui and the 18th Division under Lieutenant - General Renya Mutaguchi . Also in support was a light tank brigade . In comparison , following the withdrawal Percival had about 85,000 men at his disposal , although 15,000 were administrative personnel , while large numbers were semi-trained British , Indian and Australian reinforcements that had only recently arrived . Meanwhile , of those forces that had seen action during the previous fighting the majority of units were under - strength and under - equipped . In the days leading up to the Japanese attack , patrols from the Australian 22nd Brigade were sent across the strait to Johor at night to gather intelligence . Three small patrols were sent on the evening of 6 February ; one was spotted and withdrew after its leader was killed and their boat sunk , while two others managed to get ashore . Over the course of a day , they found large concentrations of troops , although they were unable to locate any landing craft . The Australians requested the shelling of these positions to disrupt the Japanese preparations , but the patrol reports were later ignored by Malaya Command as being insignificant , believing that the real assault would come in the north - eastern sector , not the north - west . Battle ( edit ) Initial Japanese landings ( edit ) Main article : Battle of Sarimbun Beach The Japanese landings on Singapore Island Blowing up the causeway had delayed the Japanese attack for over a week . Prior to the main assault the Australians were subjected to an intense artillery bombardment . Over a period of 15 hours starting at 23 : 00 on 8 February 1942 Yamashita 's heavy guns laid down a barrage of 88,000 shells ( 200 rounds per tube ) along the entire length of the straits , cutting telephone lines and effectively isolating forward units from rear areas . Even at this stage , a counter artillery barrage as a response could have been mounted by the British on the coastline opposite the Australians that would have caused casualties and disruption among the Japanese assault troops . But the bombardment of the Australians was not seen as a prelude to imminent attack -- Malaya Command believed that it would last several days and would later switch its focus to the north - east -- despite its ferocity exceeding anything the Allies had experienced thus far in the campaign , and consequently no order was passed to the Allied artillery units to begin targeting possible Japanese assembly areas . Shortly before 20 : 30 on 8 February , the first wave of Japanese troops from the 5th and 18th Divisions began crossing the Johor Strait . The main weight of the Japanese force , representing a total of about 13,000 men across 16 assault battalions , with five in reserve , was focused on assaulting Taylor 's Australian 22nd Brigade , which totalled just three battalions . The assault would be concentrated on the 2 / 18th and 2 / 20th Battalions and with each division allocated 150 barges and collapsible boats , the Japanese could move approximately 4,000 men across the strait at any one time . In total , 13,000 Japanese troops landed throughout the first night ; they were followed by another 10,000 after first light . Against this the defenders numbered just 3,000 men and lacked any significant reserve . As the landing craft closed on the Australian positions , machine gunners from the 2 / 4th Machine Gun Battalion , interspersed amongst the deployed rifle companies , opened fire . Spotlights had been sited by a British unit on the beaches to enable the Australians to clearly see any attacking forces on the water in front of them , but many had been damaged by the earlier bombardment and no order was made to turn the others on . The initial wave was concentrated against the positions occupied by the 2 / 18th and 2 / 20th Battalions , around the Buloh River , as well as one company from the 2 / 19th Battalion . Over the course of an hour heavy fighting took place on the 2 / 19th Battalion 's right flank , until these positions were overrun and the Japanese were able to push their way inland using cover and concealment provided by the darkness and the surrounding vegetation . The resistance put up by the company from the 2 / 19th pushed the follow - on waves of Japanese craft in to landing around the mouth of Murai River , which resulted in them creating a gap between the 2 / 19th and 2 / 18th . From there they launched two concerted attacks against the 2 / 18th , which were met with heavy fire before they eventually overwhelmed the defending Australians with weight of numbers . Urgent requests for fire support were sent out , and throughout the night the 2 / 15th Field Regiment fired over 4,800 rounds . Fierce fighting raged throughout the evening , but due to the terrain and the darkness the Japanese were able to disperse into the undergrowth and in many situations they were able to either surround and destroy pockets of Australian resistance , or bypass them , exploiting gaps in the thinly spread Allied lines due to the many rivers and creeks in the area . By midnight , the two Japanese divisions fired starshells to indicate to their commander that they had secured their initial objectives , and by 01 : 00 they were well established . Over the course of two hours , the three Australian battalions that had been engaged sought to regroup , moving back east from the coast towards the centre of the island . Despite being in contact this was completed mainly in good order . The 2 / 20th managed to concentrate three of its four companies around the Namazie Estate , although one was left behind ; the 2 / 18th was only able to concentrate half its strength at Ama Keng , while the 2 / 19th also moved back three companies , leaving a fourth to defend Tengah airfield . Further fighting followed throughout the early morning of 9 February and the Australians were pushed back further , with the 2 / 18th being pushed out of Ama Keng and the 2 / 20th being forced to pull back to Bulim , west of Bukit Panjong . Meanwhile , bypassed elements attempted to break - out and fall back to the Tengah airfield to rejoin their units and in doing so received heavy casualties . Bennett attempted to reinforce the 22nd Brigade by moving the 2 / 29th Battalion from the 27th Brigade 's area to Tengah and before it could be used to recapture Ama Keng , the Japanese launched another attack around the airfield , and the 2 / 29th was forced to assume a defensive posture . The initial fighting cost the Australians heavily , with one battalion , the 2 / 20th , alone losing 334 men killed and 214 wounded . Air War ( edit ) Brewster Buffalo fighters based at Sembawang Airfield The aerial campaign for Singapore began at the outset of the invasion of Malaya . Early on 8 December 1941 , Singapore was bombed for the first time by long - range Japanese aircraft , such as the Mitsubishi G3M 2 `` Nell '' and the Mitsubishi G4M 1 `` Betty '' , based in Japanese - occupied Indochina . The bombers struck the city centre as well as the Sembawang Naval Base and the island 's northern airfields . After this first raid , throughout the rest of December , there were a number of false alerts and several infrequent and sporadic hit - and - run attacks on outlying military installations such as the Naval Base , but no actual raids on Singapore City . The situation had become so desperate , that one British soldier took to the middle of a road to fire his Vickers machine gun at any aircraft that passed . He could only say : `` The bloody bastards will never think of looking for me in the open , and I want to see a bloody plane brought down . '' The next recorded raid on the city occurred on the night of 29 / 30 December , and nightly raids ensued for over a week , only to be accompanied by daylight raids from 12 January 1942 onward . In the days that followed , as the Japanese army drew ever nearer to Singapore Island , the day and night raids increased in frequency and intensity , resulting in thousands of civilian casualties , up to the time of the British surrender . Firefighters battle the results of a Japanese air raid on 8 February 1942 During the month of December , a total of 51 Hawker Hurricane Mk II fighters were sent to Singapore , with 24 pilots , the nuclei of five squadrons . They arrived on 3 January 1942 , by which stage the Brewster Buffalo squadrons had been overwhelmed . No. 232 Squadron RAF was formed and No. 488 Squadron RNZAF , a Buffalo squadron , had converted to Hurricanes. 232 Squadron became operational on 20 January and destroyed three Nakajima Ki - 43 `` Oscars '' that day , for the loss of three Hurricanes . However , like the Buffalos before them , the Hurricanes began to suffer severe losses in intense dogfights . During the period 27 -- 30 January , another 48 Hurricanes arrived on the aircraft carrier HMS Indomitable . Operated by No. 226 Group RAF ( four squadrons ) , they flew from an airfield code - named P1 , near Palembang , Sumatra in the Dutch East Indies , while a flight was maintained in Singapore . However , many of the Hurricanes were subsequently destroyed on the ground by air raids . Indeed , the lack of an effective air early warning system throughout the campaign meant that many Allied aircraft were lost in this manner during a series of Japanese attacks against airfields . Hawker Hurricane of No. 232 Squadron RAF shot down on 8 February , along the East Coast Road By the time of the invasion , only ten Hawker Hurricane fighters of No. 232 Squadron RAF , based at RAF Kallang , remained to provide air cover to the Allied forces on Singapore . This was because the airfields of Tengah , Seletar and Sembawang were in range of Japanese artillery at Johor Bahru . RAF Kallang was the only operational airstrip left ; the surviving squadrons and aircraft had withdrawn by January to reinforce the Dutch East Indies . On the morning of 9 February , a series of aerial dogfights took place over Sarimbun Beach and other western areas . In the first encounter , the last ten Hurricanes were scrambled from Kallang Airfield to intercept a Japanese formation of about 84 planes , flying from Johor to provide air cover for their invasion force . The Hurricanes shot down six Japanese planes , and damaged 14 others , for the loss of one of their own . Air battles went on for the rest of the day , and by nightfall it was clear that with the few aircraft Percival had left , Kallang could no longer be used as a base . With his assent , the remaining flyable Hurricanes were withdrawn to Sumatra . A squadron of Hurricane fighters took to the skies on 9 February , but was then withdrawn to the Netherlands East Indies and after that no Allied aircraft were seen again over Singapore ; the Japanese had achieved complete air supremacy . That evening , three Fairmile motor launches attacked and sunk several Japanese landing craft in the Johor Strait around its western channel on the evening of 9 February . Later , on the evening of 10 February , General Archibald Wavell , commander of American - British - Dutch - Australian Command , ordered the transfer of all remaining Allied air force personnel to the Dutch East Indies . By this time , Kallang Airfield was so pitted with bomb craters that it was no longer usable . Second day ( edit ) Main article : Battle of Kranji Inscription at Kranji War Memorial Believing that further landings would occur in the northeast , Percival did not reinforce the 22nd Brigade until the morning of 9 February ; when he did , the forces dispatched consisted of two half - strength battalions from the 12th Indian Infantry Brigade . These units reached Bennett around midday , and , shortly afterwards , Percival allocated the composite 6th / 15th Indian Infantry Brigade to reinforce Bennett 's force on one hour 's notice to move from their position around the Singapore racecourse . Throughout the day , the 44th Indian Infantry Brigade , still holding its position on the coast , began to feel pressure on its exposed flank , and after discussions between Percival and Bennett , it was decided that they would have to be pulled back east to maintain the southern part of the Allied line . Bennett decided to form a secondary defensive line , known as the `` Kranji - Jurong Switch Line '' , oriented to the west , and positioned between the two rivers , with its centre around Bulim , east of Tengah Airfield -- which subsequently came under Japanese control -- and just north of Jurong . To the north , Maxwell 's Australian 27th Brigade , had not been engaged during the initial Japanese assaults on the first day . Possessing only two battalions , the 2 / 26th and 2 / 30th , following the loss of the 2 / 29th Battalion to the 22nd Brigade , Maxwell sought to reorganise his force to deal with the threat posed to their western flank . Late on 9 February , the Imperial Guards began assaulting the positions held by the 27th Brigade , concentrating on those held by the 2 / 26th Battalion . During the initial assault , the Japanese suffered severe casualties from Australian mortars and machine guns , and from burning oil which had been sluiced into the water following the demolition of several oil tanks by the defending Australians . Some of the Guards reached the shore and maintained a tenuous beachhead ; nevertheless , at the height of the assault , it is reported that the Guards commander , Nishimura , requested permission to cancel the attack due to the heavy casualties his troops had suffered from the fire . This request was denied by the Japanese commander , Yamashita , who ordered them to press on . Command and control problems caused further cracks in the Allied defence . Maxwell was aware that the 22nd Brigade was under increasing pressure , but was unable to contact Taylor and was wary of encirclement . As parties of Japanese troops began to infiltrate the brigade 's position from the west , exploiting the gap formed by the Kranji River , the 2 / 26th Battalion was forced to withdraw to a position east of the Bukit Timah Road ; this move subsequently precipitated a sympathetic move by the 2 / 30th away from the causeway . The authority for this withdrawal would later be the subject of debate , with Bennett later stating that he had not given Maxwell authorisation to do so . Regardless , the end result was that the Allies lost control of the beaches adjoining the west side of the causeway . In doing so , the high ground overlooking the causeway was given up , and the left flank of the 11th Indian Division exposed . In addition , it provided the Japanese with a firm foothold , giving them the opportunity to `` build up their force unopposed '' . Japanese breakthrough ( edit ) Main articles : Battle of Bukit Timah and Battle of Pasir Panjang The opening at Kranji made it possible for Imperial Guards armoured units to land there unopposed , after which they were able to begin ferrying across their artillery and armour . After finding his left flank exposed by the 27th Brigade 's withdrawal , the commander of the 11th Indian Infantry Division , Key , dispatched his reserve brigade , the 8th , to retake the high ground to the south of the Causeway . Throughout the 10th , further fighting took place around along the Jurong Line , as orders were formulated to establish a secondary defensive line to the west of the Reformatory Road with troops not then employed in the Jurong Line ; misinterpretation of these orders resulted in Taylor , the commander of the 22nd Brigade , prematurely withdrawing his troops to the east , where they were joined by a 200 - strong ad hoc battalion of Australian reinforcements , known as ' X ' Battalion . The Jurong Line eventually collapsed , though , after the 12th Indian Brigade was withdrawn by its commander , Brigadier Archie Paris , to the road junction near Bukit Panjang , after he lost contact with the 27th Brigade on his right ; the commander of the 44th Indian Brigade , Ballantine , commanding the extreme left of the line , also misinterpreted the orders in the same manner that Taylor had and withdrew . On the evening of 10 February , British Prime Minister Winston Churchill , cabled Wavell , saying : I think you ought to realise the way we view the situation in Singapore . It was reported to Cabinet by the CIGS ( Chief of the Imperial General Staff , General Alan Brooke ) that Percival has over 100,000 ( sic ) men , of whom 33,000 are British and 17,000 Australian . It is doubtful whether the Japanese have as many in the whole Malay Peninsula ... In these circumstances the defenders must greatly outnumber Japanese forces who have crossed the straits , and in a well - contested battle they should destroy them . There must at this stage be no thought of saving the troops or sparing the population . The battle must be fought to the bitter end at all costs . The 18th Division has a chance to make its name in history . Commanders and senior officers should die with their troops . The honour of the British Empire and of the British Army is at stake . I rely on you to show no mercy to weakness in any form . With the Russians fighting as they are and the Americans so stubborn at Luzon , the whole reputation of our country and our race is involved . It is expected that every unit will be brought into close contact with the enemy and fight it out ... Upon learning of the Jurong Line 's collapse , Wavell , in the early afternoon of 10 February , ordered Percival to launch a counterattack to retake it . This order was subsequently passed on to Bennett , who allocated the ad hoc Australian ' X ' Battalion to the task . Percival made plans of his own for the counterattack , detailing a three - phased operation that involved the majority of the 22nd Brigade , and he subsequently passed this on to Bennett , who began implementing the plan , but forgot to call ' X ' Battalion back . ' X ' Battalion , consisting of poorly trained and equipped replacements , subsequently advanced to an assembly area near Bukit Timah . In the early hours of 11 February , the Japanese , who had concentrated significant forces around the Tengah airfield and on the Jurong Road , began further offensive operations : the 5th Division aimed its advance towards Bukit Panjang , while the 18th struck out towards Bukit Timah . There , they fell upon ' X ' Battalion which had camped in its assembly area waiting to launch its own attack , and in the ensuing fight two thirds of the battalion was killed or wounded . After brushing aside elements of the 6th / 15th Indian Brigade , the Japanese again began attacking the Australian 22nd Brigade around the Reformatory Road . Later on 11 February , with Japanese supplies running low Yamashita attempted to bluff Percival , calling on him to `` give up this meaningless and desperate resistance '' . By this stage , the fighting strength of the 22nd Brigade -- which had borne the brunt of the Japanese attacks -- had been reduced to a few hundred men , and the Japanese had captured the Bukit Timah area , including the Allies ' main food and fuel supply depots . Nevertheless , Wavell subsequently told Percival that the ground forces were to fight on to the end , and that there should not be a general surrender in Singapore . With the vital water supply of the reservoirs in the centre of the island threatened , the Australian 27th Brigade was later ordered to recapture Bukit Panjang as a preliminary move in retaking Bukit Timah . The effort was beaten back by fierce resistance from Imperial Guards troops and the 27th was subsequently split in half either side of the Bukit Timah Road with elements spread as far as the Pierce Reservoir . My attack on Singapore was a bluff -- a bluff that worked . I had 30,000 men and was outnumbered more than three to one . I knew that if I had to fight for long for Singapore , I would be beaten . That is why the surrender had to be at once . I was very frightened all the time that the British would discover our numerical weakness and lack of supplies and force me into disastrous street fighting . -- Tomoyuki Yamashita The next day , as the situation worsened for the Allies , they sought to consolidate their defences and subsequently during the night of 12 / 13 February the order was given for a 28 - mile ( 45 km ) perimeter to be established around Singapore City at the eastern end of the island . This was achieved by moving the defending forces from the beaches along the northern shore and from around Changi , with the British 18th Division being tasked to maintain control of the vital reservoirs and effecting a link up with Simmons ' forces Southern Area forces . The withdrawing troops received harassing attacks all the way back . Elsewhere , the 22nd Brigade continued to hold a position west of the Holland Road until late in the evening when it was pulled back to Holland Village . On 13 February , Japanese engineers re-established the road over the causeway , and more tanks were pushed across . With the Allies still losing ground , senior officers advised Percival to surrender in the interests of minimising civilian casualties . Percival refused , but unsuccessfully sought authority from Wavell for greater discretion as to when resistance might cease . Elsewhere , the Japanese captured the water reservoirs that supplied the town , although they did not cut - off the supply . That same day , military police executed Captain Patrick Heenan for espionage . An Air Liaison Officer with the British Indian Army , Heenan had been recruited by Japanese military intelligence , and he had used a radio to assist them in targeting Allied airfields in northern Malaya . He had been arrested on 10 December and court - martialled in January . Heenan was shot at Keppel Harbour , on the southern side of Singapore , and his body was thrown into the sea . The Australians occupied a perimeter of their own to the north - west around Tanglin Barracks , in which they maintained an all round defensive posture as a precaution to Japanese penetration of the larger perimeter elsewhere . To their right , the British 18th Division , the Indian 11th Division and the 2nd Malaya Brigade held the perimeter from the edge of the Farrar Road east to Kallang , while to their left , the 44th Indian Brigade and the 1st Malaya Brigade held the perimeter from Buona Vista to Pasir Panjang . For the most part , there was limited fighting around the perimeter , except around Pasir Panjang Ridge , just 1 mile ( 1.6 km ) from Singapore Harbour , where the 1st Malaya Brigade -- which consisted of a Malayan infantry battalion , two British infantry battalions and a force of Royal Engineers -- fought a stubborn defensive action during the Battle of Pasir Panjang . The Japanese largely avoided attacking the Australian perimeter at this time , but elsewhere , in the northern area , throughout the day the British 53rd Brigade was pushed back by a Japanese assault up the Thompson Road , and had to re-establish itself to the north of Braddell Road in the evening , joining the 18th Division 's other two brigades -- the 54th and 55th -- in the line . They dug - in and throughout the night fierce fighting raged on the northern front . The following day , the remaining Allied units fought on . Civilian casualties mounted as one million people crowded into the 3 - mile ( 4.8 km ) area still held by the Allies and bombing and artillery fire increased . Civilian authorities began to fear that the water supply would give out . At this time , Percival was advised that large amounts of water were being lost due to damaged pipes and that the water supply was on the verge of collapse . Alexandra hospital massacre ( edit ) See also : British Military Hospital , Singapore A plaque commemorating the massacre and expanding on the hospital 's history after the war On 14 February , the Japanese renewed their assault on the western part of the Southern Area 's defences , around the same area that the 1st Malayan Brigade had fought desperately to hold the previous day . At about 13 : 00 , the Japanese broke through and they advanced towards the Alexandra Barracks Hospital . A British lieutenant -- acting as an envoy with a white flag -- approached the Japanese forces but was killed with a bayonet . After the Japanese troops entered the hospital they killed up to 50 soldiers , including some undergoing surgery . Doctors and nurses were also killed . The next day about 200 male staff members and patients who had been assembled and bound the previous day , many of them walking wounded , were ordered to walk about 400 m ( 440 yd ) to an industrial area . Those who fell on the way were bayoneted . The men were forced into a series of small , badly ventilated rooms where they were held overnight without water . Some died during the night as a result of their treatment . The remainder were bayoneted the following morning . Several survivors were identified after the war , with some having survived by pretending to be dead . One survivor , Private Arthur Haines from the Wiltshire Regiment , wrote a four - page account of the massacre that was sold by his daughter by private auction in 2008 . Fall of Singapore ( edit ) Yamashita ( seated , centre ) thumps the table with his fist to emphasise his terms -- unconditional surrender . Percival sits between his officers , his clenched hand to his mouth Throughout the night of 14 / 15 February the Japanese continued to press against the Allied perimeter , but largely the line held . Nevertheless , the military supply situation was rapidly deteriorating . The water system was badly damaged and continued supply was uncertain , rations were running low , petrol for military vehicles was all but exhausted , and there were few rounds left for the field artillery . The anti-aircraft guns were almost out of ammunition , and were unable to disrupt Japanese air attacks , which were causing heavy casualties in the city centre . Little work had been done to build air raid shelters and looting and desertion by Allied troops further added to the chaos in this area . At 09 : 30 , Percival held a conference at Fort Canning with his senior commanders . He proposed two options : either launch an immediate counter-attack to regain the reservoirs and the military food depots in the Bukit Timah region , or surrender . After heated argument and recrimination , all present agreed that no counterattack was possible . Percival opted for surrender . Post war analyses has shown , though , that had Percival opted for a counterattack at that time , it might have been successful . The Japanese were at the limit of their supply line , and their artillery had just a few hours of ammunition left . A deputation was selected to go to the Japanese headquarters . It consisted of a senior staff officer , the colonial secretary and an interpreter . They set off in a motor car bearing a Union Jack and a white flag of truce toward the enemy lines to discuss a cessation of hostilities . They returned with orders that Percival himself proceed with staff officers to the Ford Motor Factory , where Yamashita would lay down the terms of surrender . A further requirement was that the Japanese Rising Sun Flag be hoisted over the tallest building in Singapore , the Cathay Building . Percival formally surrendered shortly after 17 : 15 . Earlier that day Percival had issued orders to destroy all secret and technical equipment , ciphers , codes , secret documents and heavy guns . Surrendering troops of the Suffolk Regiment are held at gunpoint by Japanese infantry Under the terms of the surrender hostilities were to cease at 20 : 30 that evening , all military forces in Singapore were to surrender unconditionally , all Allied forces would remain in position and disarm themselves within an hour , and the British were allowed to maintain a force of 1,000 armed men to prevent looting until relieved by the Japanese . In addition , Yamashita also accepted full responsibility for the lives of the civilians in the city . In the days following the surrender , Bennett caused controversy when he decided to escape . After receiving news of the surrender , Bennett handed command of the 8th Division to the divisional artillery commander , Brigadier Cecil Callaghan , and -- along with some of his staff officers -- commandeered a small boat . They eventually made their way back to Australia , meanwhile between 15,000 and 20,000 Australian soldiers are reported to have been captured . Bennett blamed Percival and the Indian troops for the defeat , but Callaghan reluctantly stated that Australian units had been affected by the desertion of many men towards the end of the battle . Indeed , the Kappe Report compiled by Colonels J.H. Thyer and C.H. Kappe , concedes that only two - thirds at most , of the available Australian troops manned the final perimeter . Regardless , many British units were reported to have been similarly affected . In analysing the campaign , Clifford Kinvig , a senior lecturer at Royal Military Academy Sandhurst and others , point the finger of blame at the commander of the 27th Brigade , Brigadier Duncan Maxwell , for his defeatist attitude and not properly defending the sector between the Causeway and the Kranji River . Elphick also claims that Australians made up the majority of stragglers . Meanwhile , according to one source Taylor cracked under the pressure . Thompson argues , however , that the 22nd Brigade was `` so heavily outnumbered that defeat was inevitable '' , while Costello states that Percival 's insistence on concentrating the 22nd Brigade 's strength at the water 's edge had been a serious mistake . Yamashita , the Japanese commander , laid the blame on the British `` ... underestimating Japanese military capabilities '' , and Percival 's hesitancy in reinforcing the Australians on the western side of the island . A classified wartime report by Wavell released in 1992 blamed the Australians for the loss of Singapore . Yet according to John Coates the report `` lacked substance '' , as whilst there had undoubtedly been ill - discipline in the final stages of the campaign -- particularly among the poorly trained British , Indian and Australian reinforcements that were hurriedly dispatched as the crisis worsened -- the Australian 8th Division had fought well and had gained the respect of the Japanese . Indeed , at Gemas , Bakri and Jemaluang `` they achieved the few outstanding tactical successes '' of the campaign in Malaya , and although the Australians made up just 13 percent of the British Empire 's ground forces , they sustained 73 percent of its battle deaths . Coates argues that the real reason for the fall of Singapore was the failure of the British strategy , to which Australian policy - makers had contributed in their acquiescence , and the overall lack of military resources allocated to the fighting in Malaya . Aftermath ( edit ) Japanese soldiers shooting blindfolded Sikh prisoners British losses during the fighting for Singapore were heavy , with a total of nearly 85,000 personnel captured , in addition to losses during the earlier fighting in Malaya . About 5,000 were killed or wounded , of which Australians made up the majority . Japanese casualties during the fighting in Singapore amounted to 1,714 killed and 3,378 wounded . Throughout the entire 70 - day campaign in Malaya and Singapore total British casualties amounted to 8,708 killed or wounded and 130,000 captured ; while Japanese losses during this period amounted to 9,824 battle casualties . During this time the Japanese had advanced a total of 650 miles ( 1,050 km ) from Singora , Thailand to the southern - coast of Singapore at a rate of 9 miles ( 14 km ) a day . While impressed with Japan 's quick succession of victories , Adolf Hitler reportedly had mixed views regarding Singapore 's fall , seeing it as a setback for the `` white race '' but ultimately something that currently was in Germany 's military interests . Hitler reportedly forbade Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop from issuing a congratulatory communique . The Japanese occupation of Singapore started after the British surrender . Japanese newspapers triumphantly declared the victory as deciding the general situation of the war . The city was renamed Syonan - to ( 昭南島 Shōnan - tō ; literally : Southern Island gained in the age of Shōwa , or `` Light of the South '' ) . The Japanese sought vengeance against the Chinese and to eliminate anyone who held any anti-Japanese sentiments . The Japanese authorities were suspicious of the Chinese because of the Second Sino - Japanese War , and killed thousands in the Sook Ching massacre . The other ethnic groups of Singapore -- such as the Malays and Indians -- were not spared either . The residents would suffer great hardships under Japanese rule over the following three and a half years . Numerous British and Australian soldiers taken prisoner remained in Singapore 's Changi Prison . Many died in captivity . Thousands of others were shipped out on prisoner transports known as `` hell ships '' to other parts of Asia , including Japan , to be used as forced labour on projects such as the Siam -- Burma Death Railway and Sandakan airfield in North Borneo . Many of those aboard the ships perished . An Indian revolutionary , Rash Behari Bose , formed the pro-independence Indian National Army ( INA ) , with the help of the Japanese , who were highly successful in recruiting Indian soldiers taken prisoner . In February 1942 , from a total of about 40,000 Indian personnel in Singapore , about 30,000 joined the INA , of which about 7,000 fought Allied forces in the Burma Campaign as well as in the northeast Indian regions of Kohima and Imphal . Others became POW camp guards at Changi . An unknown number were taken to Japanese - occupied areas in the South Pacific as forced labour . Many of them suffered severe hardships and brutality similar to that experienced by other prisoners of Japan during the war . About 6,000 survived until they were liberated by Australian and US forces in 1943 -- 45 as the war in the Pacific turned in favour of the Allies . Victorious Japanese troops marching through Fullerton Square British forces had planned to liberate Singapore in 1945 ; however , the war ended before these operations could be carried out . It was subsequently re-occupied by British , Indian and Australian forces following the Japanese surrender in September . Meanwhile , Yamashita was tried by a US military commission for war crimes , but not for crimes committed by his troops in Malaya or Singapore . He was convicted and hanged in the Philippines on 23 February 1946 .

Jump up ^ Blackburn and Hack give a total of 226 for British artillery pieces captured during the siege of Singapore itself , including fortress guns ( 172 without them ) , but this appears to exclude 3.7 to 4.5 - inch howitzers and 75mm field guns . Jump up ^ Two brigades from the Australian 8th Division had been dispatched to Singapore and then Malaya in February 1941 , while its third brigade had been dispersed to garrison Rabaul , Timor and Ambon . Jump up ^ The number of Japanese killed and wounded is disputed . Jump up ^ The war establishment , the on - paper strength , of an infantry division during or after 1941 , but before 1944 , was 17,298 men .

Murnane for a discussion of his role as the Singapore Municipal Water Engineer in assessing the condition of the water supply . Jump up ^ During this time a number of witnesses claim that Australian deserters were involved in widespread looting , while others were alleged to have pushed women off the gangways to get aboard the departing ships evacuating the civilians . Thompson argues that the identity of these troops is disputed , recounting that around this time some British troops had broken into some of the Australian equipment stores and stolen Australian slouch hats and that further investigations had found that the offending soldiers had worn the black boots issued to British troops , rather than the brown boots worn by Australians . Jump up ^ `` Bennett singled out Indian troops but did not confine his remarks to them . He admitted that towards the end it was all but impossible to return men to their units ... Callaghan recommended that on any clash Percival 's report be accepted as more reliable ... Regarding the many reports of Australians hiding in town or trying to escape , Callaghan bluntly admitted `` there is a certain amount of truth in both these statements ... This temporary lapse of the Australian on the island and the criticism it has invoked has caused me a lot of uneasiness '' . '' Jump up ^ According to Kirby the majority of deserters were from administrative units or were men who had only recently arrived in Malaya and were inadequately trained . Jump up ^ In the 2002 documentary No Prisoners , Major John Wyett , an 8th Division staff officer , claimed the commander of the Australian 22nd Brigade cracked under the pressure stating , `` Taylor was wandering around rather like a man in a sleep walk . He was utterly , utterly , you know , shell - shocked and not able to do very much . '' Jump up ^ The break down of British Empire losses included 38,496 United Kingdom , 18,490 Australian , 67,340 Indian and 14,382 local volunteer troops . Total Australian casualties included 1,789 killed and 1,306 wounded . Citations Jump up ^ Allen 2013 , pp. 300 -- 301 . Jump up ^ Blackburn & Hack 2004 , p. 74 .

Set before , during , and immediately after the American Civil War , they are based on the 1980s trilogy of novels North and South by John Jakes . The 1985 first installment , North and South , remains the seventh - highest rated miniseries in TV history . North and South : Book II ( 1986 ) was met with similar success , while 1994 's Heaven and Hell : North and South Book III was poorly received by both critics and audiences . The saga tells the story of the enduring friendship between Orry Main of South Carolina ( Patrick Swayze ) and George Hazard of Pennsylvania ( James Read ) , who become best friends while attending the United States Military Academy at West Point but later find themselves and their families on opposite sides of the war . The slave - owning Mains are rural planters , while the Hazards , who resided in a small Northern mill town , profit from ownership of manufacturing and industry capital , their differences reflecting the divisions between North and South that eventually led to the Civil War .

-2756902036840044743	England at the FIFA World Cup	England at the FIFA World Cup - wikipedia England at the FIFA World Cup The England national football team has competed at the FIFA World Cup since 1950 . The FIFA World Cup is the premier competitive international football tournament , first played in 1930 , whose finals stage has been held every four years since , except 1942 and 1946 , due to the Second World War . The tournament consists of two parts , the qualification phase and the final phase ( officially called the World Cup Finals ) . The qualification phase , which currently take place over the three years preceding the finals , is used to determine which teams qualify for the finals . The current format of the finals involves thirty - two teams competing for the title , at venues within the host nation ( or nations ) over a period of about a month . The World Cup Finals is the most widely viewed sporting event in the world , with an estimated 715.1 million people watching the 2006 Final . England did not enter the competition until 1950 , but have entered all eighteen subsequent tournaments . They have failed to qualify for the finals on three occasions , 1974 ( West Germany ) , 1978 ( Argentina ) and 1994 ( United States ) , and have failed to advance from the group stages on three occasions ; at the 1950 FIFA World Cup , the 1958 FIFA World Cup and the 2014 FIFA World Cup . Their best ever performance is winning the Cup in the 1966 tournament held in England , whilst they also finished in fourth place in 1990 , in Italy , and in 2018 in Russia . Other than that , the team have reached the quarter - finals on nine occasions , the latest of which were at the 2002 ( South Korea / Japan ) and the 2006 ( Germany ) . England are the only team not representing a sovereign state to win the World Cup , which they did in 1966 when they hosted the finals . They defeated West Germany 4 -- 2 after extra time to win the World Cup title . Since then , they have generally reached the knockout stages of almost every competition they have qualified for , including a fourth - place finish in the 1990 and 2018 World Cups . At the world cup , England have had more goalless draws than any other team .

The series kicked off for England on 15 October 1949 at Ninian Park , Cardiff , against Wales . Stan Mortensen gave England the lead after twenty two minutes , and just seven minutes later , Jackie Milburn doubled the lead . This was the first goal of Milburn 's hat trick , which left England 4 -- 0 up with 20 minutes to play . Mal Griffiths scored a consolation goal for Wales ten minutes from time , but England held on for a comfortable victory . A month later , England welcomed Ireland to Maine Road , and it began well for the home side as Jack Rowley scored inside six minutes . England were already 6 -- 0 up , thanks to Jack Froggatt , two for Stan Pearson , Stan Mortensen and a second from Rowley , by the time Ireland struck back through Samuel Smyth after 55 minutes . Rowley added a third and a fourth to his tally in the three minutes following Smyth 's goal , however , leaving the score at 8 -- 1 at the hour mark . The frantic scoring rate calmed down after that , with only one apeice before the final whistle , with Stan Pearson completing his brace for England 's ninth , and Bobby Brennan scoring for Ireland . It was not until May 1950 that England travelled to Hampden Park to face Scotland , who were also undefeated after their games against Ireland and Wales . With the top two from the group qualifying , both teams were guaranteed progression to the finals , and the game was solely for the honour of winning the British Home Championship , and the seeding advantage to be enjoyed upon reaching Brazil . A solitary goal from Roy Bentley gave England the victory , the title and the top spot in the group . 1950 finals ( edit ) England were seeded in pot one for the finals , which meant they were the favourites to progress from Group 2 , which also contained Spain , Chile and the United States . England 's campaign kicked off against Chile in Rio de Janeiro , and , as was expected , England cruised to a 2 -- 0 victory , courtesy of goals from Stan Mortensen and Wilf Mannion . Main article : United States v England ( 1950 FIFA World Cup ) Their troubles began four days later when they faced the Americans in Belo Horizonte in what has become one of the most famous matches of all time . Joe Gaetjens scored the only goal of the match to give the United States an unlikely victory , which has gone down as one of the World Cup 's greatest upsets . A myth arose that the English newspapers were so confident of an English victory that when the result was telegrammed back , they assumed a misprint and printed the score as 10 -- 1 in England 's favour . However , this has proven to be untrue . This left England in a sticky situation prior to their final match , against Spain in Rio . They needed to win , and for Chile to beat the United States to stand any chance of going through , and even then they would need the goal averages to fall in their favour . As it turned out , no such calculations were necessary , despite Chile 's victory , as Spain 's Zarra scored the only goal of the game , eliminating England from the competition . Switzerland 1954 ( edit ) This section does not cite any sources . Please help improve this section by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( July 2018 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Main articles : 1954 FIFA World Cup and 1953 -- 54 British Home Championship As with their first World Cup , England 's qualifying for the 1954 edition also constituted the 1953 -- 54 British Home Championship . They played Wales at Ninian Park as their first match once again , and the 4 -- 1 result was the same . However , unlike four years earlier , it was the home side that went into the lead , after twenty two minutes through Ivor Allchurch . Despite being 1 -- 0 down at half time , England scored four within eight minutes of the restart ; two each for Dennis Wilshaw and Nat Lofthouse . Goodison Park was the venue for England 's home clash against Ireland , who were newly renamed Northern Ireland . Harold Hassall got England off to a good start with a goal after just ten minutes . Eddie McMorran put the Irish back on terms just before the hour mark , but Hassall completed his brace six minutes later . Lofthouse completed a comfortable 3 -- 1 win for England . With the top two in the group qualifying for the finals , the final game between England and Scotland , at Hampden Park , settled nothing except the placings within the group , despite Scotland having dropped a point with a 3 -- 3 draw at home to Wales . Allan Brown put the home side ahead after just seven minutes , but it was all square again thanks to Ivor Broadis just four minutes later . Johnny Nicholls gave England the lead for the first time just after half time , and they began to extend a lead after Ronnie Allen 's 68th - minute goal . Jimmy Mullen made the game all but certain seven minutes from time , and although Willie Ormond scored a consolation for Scotland with just 1 minute to play , England topped the competition for the second time in a row . 1954 finals ( edit ) England were drawn in Group 4 for the finals , with hosts Switzerland , Italy and Belgium . In an odd twist , unique to the 1954 tournament , England and Italy , as the two seeded teams in the group , did not have to play each other . Equally , Switzerland and Belgium did not have to play each other . England 's first game in Switzerland was against Belgium in Basel , and they suffered a shock as Léopold Anoul put the Belgians into the lead after just five minutes . Ivor Broadis put the favourites back on terms just over twenty minutes later , and although Nat Lofthouse gave England the lead 10 minutes later , it was proving to be tougher than they had expected against the Belgians . Broadis scored his second just after the hour , but Henri Coppens hit back four minutes later to keep Belgium in the game at only 3 -- 2 down . Anoul completed his brace another four minutes after that to level the scores again . In another oddity peculiar to this World Cup , drawn matches in the group stage would go to extra time , and as such the teams played on with the score at 3 -- 3 . Just one minute into the added period , Lofthouse added a fourth for England and they seemed to have won it , but Jimmy Dickinson scored an own goal three minutes later to put the score back at 4 -- 4 . It stayed this way until the extra period was up , and as penalty shoot - outs were yet to be invented and replays were not used in the group , the match was recorded as a draw . England 's second and final group game was against the hosts in Bern . This proved to be an easier game for the Three Lions , and they scored one goal in each half ( from Jimmy Mullen and Dennis Wilshaw respectively ) to give them a comfortable win of 2 -- 0 . As Switzerland ( against England ) , Italy ( against Switzerland ) and Belgium ( against Italy ) had all lost one game , England progressed as group winners , along with Switzerland , who won a play - off against Italy . England faced the winners of group three and defending champions Uruguay in the quarter - finals . Carlos Borges gave the South Americans the lead inside 5 minutes , but Lofthouse put England back on terms ten minutes later . England were clearly struggling , but held on until just before half time , when Obdulio Varela gave the lead back Uruguay . Juan Alberto Schiaffino doubled the lead just after the break , but Tom Finney kept England 's foot in the door with his sixty seventh - minute goal . However , it was all over after Javier Ambrois restored the two goal lead with twelve minutes to play . The score remained at 4 -- 2 , and England were eliminated from the cup . Sweden 1958 ( edit ) Main article : 1958 FIFA World Cup For the first time , England had to play against countries other than the Home Nations to reach the Finals in Sweden . They were drawn against the Republic of Ireland and Denmark . In the qualifying round , England won three out of the four games and drew the other . Four months before the World Cup , Roger Byrne , Duncan Edwards , David Pegg and Tommy Taylor all lost their lives in the Munich air disaster while playing for Manchester United . At the finals , which is the only tournament to have seen all Home Nations take part , the Home Nations were all drawn in different groups . England were drawn against the Soviet Union ( 2 -- 2 ) , Brazil ( 0 -- 0 ) and Austria ( 2 -- 2 ) , who finished third in the 1954 World Cup . At the end of the group stage , Soviet Union and England each had three points , and had scored four goals and conceded four goals . This meant there was a play - off to decide the second - placed team in the group , the winner to qualify . England lost the play - off 1 -- 0 and were thus knocked out . The only consolation for England was that they were the only team to play the eventual winners Brazil and not lose . Chile 1962 ( edit ) Main article : 1962 FIFA World Cup The third World Cup which took place in South America , saw England qualify by successfully qualifying from the group , which contained Portugal and Luxembourg , defeating Luxembourg on both occasions , and defeating Portugal at home , and drawing in Lisbon . At the finals , England were drawn in a group with Hungary , Argentina and Bulgaria . England defeated Argentina 3 - 1 , thanks to goals from Ron Flowers , Bobby Charlton and Jimmy Greaves , before playing out a goalless draw with Bulgaria , and a 2 -- 1 defeat to Hungary . England finished in second place behind Hungary and played the winners of group 3 , defending champions Brazil , in the quarter - finals . Brazil scored first through Garrincha , before an equaliser for Gerry Hitchens before half time . However , second - half goals from Garrincha and Vavá meant Brazil won the game 3 -- 1 , and eliminated England from the competition . This defeat was manager Walter Winterbottom 's last game in charge . Winterbottom had led England to four World Cup Finals . From May 1963 , Alf Ramsey became the manager of England . England 1966 ( edit ) Main article : 1966 FIFA World Cup This section needs expansion . You can help by adding to it . ( July 2018 ) In the 1966 World Cup Finals , England used their home advantage and , under Ramsey , won their first , and only , World Cup title . England played all their games at Wembley Stadium in London , which became the last time that the hosts were granted this privilege . After drawing 0 -- 0 in the opening game against former champions Uruguay , which started a run of four games all ending goalless . England then beat both France and Mexico 2 -- 0 and qualified for the quarter - finals . The quarter - finals saw England play Argentina , which ended in a 1 -- 0 win to England . This match saw the start of the rivalry between England and Argentina , when Argentinian Antonio Rattín was dismissed by German referee Rudolf Kreitlein in a very fierce game . A 2 -- 1 win against Portugal in the semi-final then followed . Portugal were the first team to score against England in the tournament . The final saw England play West Germany , with the result finishing in a 4 -- 2 win for England , after extra time . Mexico 1970 ( edit ) Main article : 1970 FIFA World Cup 1970 saw the first World Cup finals take place in North America and England qualified automatically for the tournament by winning the 1966 FIFA World Cup . England were drawn in a group with Romania , former world champions Brazil and Czechoslovakia . Each of the matches only saw one goal , with England defeating Romania and Czechoslovakia , and losing to Brazil . The quarter - final saw a repeat of the 1966 final , with England playing West Germany . England were hampered by the fact that first - choice goalkeeper Gordon Banks was ill , and Peter Bonetti played instead . England led 2 -- 0 with goals by Alan Mullery and Martin Peters , but in the 70th minute , Franz Beckenbauer pulled one goal back for West Germany . After Beckenbauer 's goal , Ramsey substituted Bobby Charlton , who overtook Billy Wright as England 's most capped player ever , with caps totalling 106 . Uwe Seeler equalised for the Germans in the eighty first minute , thereby taking the game into extra time . During extra time , Gerd Müller scored the winning goal for West Germany which saw the German side win 3 -- 2 . This turned out to be Charlton 's last game for England . West Germany 1974 ( edit ) Main article : 1974 FIFA World Cup qualification For the first time , England did not qualify for a World Cup . In a group with Olympic champions Poland and Wales , England could not overtake Poland . After only drawing at home to Wales 1 -- 1 and losing the first leg 2 -- 0 to Poland , meant that England had to beat Poland at home , whilst Poland only needed to draw . Poland managed to withstand England 's attacks in the first half , who had Martin Peters playing for them . Poland took the lead in the 57th minute with a goal from Jan Domarski . England equalised six minutes later , with a penalty converted by Allan Clarke . England were unable to score any more goals with goalkeeper Jan Tomaszewski keeping England at bay . Brian Clough had previously called Tomaszewski a `` clown '' . The commentator of the game then said `` it 's all over '' . Poland took this good form to the finals and ended in third place . After failing to qualify , Alf Ramsey resigned from his post and after a time , where Ramsey and his predecessor had lasted a total of 29 years , no manager was able to last in the job for longer than eight years . This ended when Bobby Robson became England manager . Argentina 1978 ( edit ) See also : 1978 FIFA World Cup qualification This section does not cite any sources . Please help improve this section by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( July 2018 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) England also did not qualify for the fourth World Cup which took place in South America . This time , England were denied by Italy , who had scored three more goals than England after both teams finished on the same points . Goals scored dictated who qualified after the head - to - head record between the two sides finished the same , following a 2 -- 0 home win for each team . The lower - ranked teams in the group were Finland and Luxembourg , but the size of the wins against them proved to be decisive . Nevertheless , Ron Greenwood was given a second chance in charge of England , after taking the role in 1977 . Spain 1982 ( edit ) Main article : 1982 FIFA World Cup 1982 saw the first time where the European Qualifying Rounds were divided into groups of five teams , where the top two teams qualify for the World Cup . Greenwood used his second chance and took England to Spain by finishing second behind Hungary and above Romania , Switzerland and Norway . At the finals , England won all three group games , defeating France 3 - 1 , with a brace from Bryan Robson , before beating Czechoslovakia 2 -- 0 , with a Jozef Barmos own goal , and World Cup newcomers Kuwait 1 -- 0 , thanks to a Trevor Francis goal . The next round saw a second group stage consisting of three teams , a first time event at the World Cup . England drew with West Germany 0 -- 0 and after the Germans beat Spain 2 -- 1 , England then had to beat Spain with a two - goal difference to progress to the next round . England , however , only managed a 0 -- 0 draw against the Spanish . England remained unbeaten at the end of the tournament . After the World Cup , Ron Greenwood 's time as England manager ended , and he was replaced by Bobby Robson . Mexico 1986 ( edit ) Main article : 1986 FIFA World Cup This section does not cite any sources . Please help improve this section by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( July 2018 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) 1986 saw the second World Cup to take place in Mexico . England qualified for Mexico 1986 by winning four games and drawing four times against Northern Ireland , who qualified in second place , Romania , Finland and Turkey . In Mexico , England lost their opening game to Portugal 1 -- 0 and could only manage a goalless draw against Morocco . The final group game , however , saw England beat Poland 3 -- 0 , which is one of the three highest scores for England at the World Cup , with Gary Lineker scoring a hat - trick . This result took England to second place and finished behind Morocco . England then also beat Paraguay 3 -- 0 in the Round of 16 . In the quarter - finals , England renewed their rivalry with Argentina in a game that has become notorious for the Argentina goals , both scored by Diego Maradona . Maradona 's first goal , known as the Hand of God , was illegal and should not have counted , as he used his hand to punch the ball into the net . However , the referee missed this infringement , and ruled that the goal should stand . Maradona then made the score 2 - 0 , famously dribbling from inside Argentina 's half and around several English players before scoring . Gary Lineker pulled back the score to 2 - 1 , but England ran out of time to equalise , and were eliminated . Nevertheless , Lineker finished with the Golden Boot by scoring six goals and thereby becoming England 's first Golden Boot winner . Italy 1990 ( edit ) Main article : 1990 FIFA World Cup By winning three and drawing three , England qualified for Italia ' 90 , the second World Cup to be held in Italy , scoring ten goals and conceding none . England were unbeaten through qualification , winning three games , and drawing the remaining three , but still finished second to Sweden , whom they drew with twice . England profited from Romania 's 3 -- 1 win over Denmark , who , had they won , would have qualified as the third - best second - placed team . West Germany and England were able to qualify for Italia ' 90 as the best second - placed teams in the groups with four teams . Because a few years previously saw English hooligans at European competition matches , England were forced to play their group games on Sardinia and Sicily . In group F , was the European champions Netherlands , the Republic of Ireland and Egypt and England . After opening the tournament with a 1 -- 1 draw against Ireland and a 0 -- 0 draw against the Dutch , England then beat Egypt 1 -- 0 . This was Egypt 's first appearance since the 1934 World Cup . England won the group with four points . In the next round , England had to play Belgium . The game went to extra time , and in the hundredth and nineteenth minute , David Platt scored the winning goal . England also had to play extra time against Cameroon in the quarter - finals . Cameroon were the first African team to have reached the quarter - finals . England opened the scoring through David Platt , but Cameroon quickly turned around the game to lead 2 - 1 . Lineker subsequently won and scored a penalty in the 83rd minute to ensure the game went to extra time . He then scored a second penalty , to see England reach the semi-finals . In the semi-finals , England met West Germany . There was no separating the two teams after 90 minutes , which made England the first team to have played extra time in three successive World Cup games . There was also no separating the two teams after extra time , thereby taking the game to penalties . Although English goalkeeper Peter Shilton dived the right way for every penalty , he was unable to save any . German goalkeeper Bodo Illgner , having failed to save any of England 's first three penalties , saved England 's fourth penalty , taken by Stuart Pearce . Olaf Thon then scored for Germany , meaning that England 's Chris Waddle would have to score his fifth penalty and hope that Shilton saved the Germans ' fifth penalty . However , Waddle 's penalty missed completely , going high over the crossbar , thereby resulting in England 's being knocked out of the competition . The third - place playoff between England and Italy saw England lose their only game of the tournament in normal time . Even though this was England 's best finish since the 1966 World Cup , Bobby Robson 's time as England manager had come to an end . United States 1994 ( edit ) Main article : 1994 FIFA World Cup qualification For the 1994 World Cup in the United States , under the leadership of new manager Graham Taylor , England surprisingly did not qualify for the tournament . In a group with six teams , England lost to Norway and the Netherlands , finishing third above Poland , Turkey and San Marino . England went into their final game with San Marino knowing they would need a seven - goal victory and for Poland to beat the Netherlands in the other match in order to qualify . In the game against San Marino , Davide Gualtieri scored against England after nine seconds , taking the lead for the outsiders . England went on to win 7 -- 1 , which was too small a goal margin . Additionally , despite the half - time score between the Poles and the Dutch being 1 - 1 , the Dutch went on to win 3 - 1 , meaning that however many goals England scored , they could still not qualify . Taylor 's tenure in charge ended and he was replaced by Terry Venables , who was dismissed after England lost the semi-final of Euro 1996 , hosted in England . France 1998 ( edit ) Main article : 1998 FIFA World Cup After missing out on the World Cup in 1994 , England , managed by Glenn Hoddle , qualified for the World Cup in France . England were drawn in Group 2 of UEFA qualifying with Italy , Poland , Georgia and Moldova . England beat Poland , Georgia and Moldova both home and away , but a home defeat to Italy in their fourth match meant they went into the final qualifier at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome just a point ahead of the Azzurri and only needing a draw to qualify automatically ; defeat would see them have to navigate a play - off to secure qualification . The match finished as a goalless draw and England finished top of the group . At the finals in France , England played in Group G. England defeated Tunisia 2 -- 0 in the first game , with goals from Alan Shearer and Paul Scholes . Their second match saw England lose 2 -- 1 to Romania ; despite an 81st - minute equaliser from Michael Owen , Dan Petrescu scored a winner shortly before injury time . In their final group game , England defeated Colombia 2 -- 0 in the decisive match , thanks to goals from midfielders Darren Anderton and David Beckham . England finished second in Group G , which saw them qualify for the last 16 phase , and play the winner of 1998 FIFA World Cup Group H , Argentina . In a fiery game containing six yellow cards and two penalties , David Beckham was controversially sent off in the 47th minute for what many felt was at most a yellow card offence , knocking over Diego Simeone . Gabriel Batistuta opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the fifth minute of the game , before an equaliser also from the spot by Alan Shearer four minutes later . England took the lead through Owen , in the 16th minute . Argentina drew level through Javier Zanetti in injury time of the first half . The game finished 2 - 2 , and , as neither team were able to find a winner in extra time , penalties were needed to decide the team that qualified to the next round . While David Seaman did save one penalty , Argentine goalkeeper Carlos Roa managed to save two , including the vital one from David Batty , thereby knocking England out of the World Cup . Beckham subsequently received death threats and was sent bullets in the post . South Korea / Japan 2002 ( edit ) Main article : 2002 FIFA World Cup In 2002 the World Cup took place in Asia for the first time . England , under its first ever foreign manager in Swedish Sven - Göran Eriksson , were able to qualify for the tournament . England were drawn in Group 9 , alongside Germany , Finland , Greece and Albania . In the last ever game in the original Wembley Stadium , ( which closed after the match ) England played Germany , losing 1 -- 0 , the only goal scored by Dietmar Hamann . The match was the last under the management of Kevin Keegan , who resigned at the end of the match , and was replaced by Eriksson . By beating Germany 5 -- 1 in Munich , England 's qualifying campaign was revitalised , and they qualified automatically , by drawing 2 -- 2 with Greece . Germany , who could only draw 0 -- 0 with Finland , had to play a play - off game against Ukraine , with England qualifying ahead winning the group . In Japan , England had to play against Eriksson 's homeland , Sweden , and both settled out for a 1 -- 1 draw . England and Beckham gained a measure of revenge for their previous 1998 defeat in defeating Argentina 1 - 0 , thanks to a Beckham penalty . However , England could only manage a disappointing 0 - 0 draw against Nigeria , meaning that although they were able to qualify for the second round , where they played Denmark , they qualified as runners up , which meant that they would meet favourites Brazil in the quarter - finals if they qualified . England played Denmark in the round of 16 defeating Denmark 3 -- 0 , thanks to goals from Micheal Owen , Rio Ferdinand , and Emile Heskey . England played four - time World Cup winners and 1998 runners - up Brazil in the quarter - finals . Despite leading through a Michael Owen goal , a mistake by David Seaman saw England lose 2 -- 1 , and Brazil won their fourth World Cup match against England , and went on to win the tournament . Germany 2006 ( edit ) Main article : 2006 FIFA World Cup England were drawn into Group 6 of European qualifying for the 2006 World Cup . The group featured other home nations in Wales , and Northern Ireland , as well as Poland ( who had eliminated England the last time the World Cup took place in Germany ) , Azerbaijan and Austria . England won eight of the 10 games , and qualified as group winners , in front of Portugal , despite drawing to Austria in Vienna , and losing to Northern Ireland in Belfast . In Germany , however , England were less convincing . England played in Group B , alongside Paraguay , Trinidad and Tobago , and Sweden . England started with a 1 -- 0 win against Paraguay ; which was won due to a 3rd minute own goal . The second game against first time qualifiers Trinidad and Tobago saw England have to wait until the 83rd minute for England to take the lead , with Peter Crouch opened the scoring with a goal many felt was illegal , and the second goal of the game coming in added time from Steven Gerrard . The last group game saw England play against Sweden , where an eventual 2 - 2 draw saw them qualify for the next round as group winners , thereby avoiding playing hosts Germany . In the last 16 stage , a free kick from David Beckham saw England win 1 -- 0 against Ecuador and reach the quarter - finals , where they faced Portugal . The game finished goalless , and England once again were knocked out on penalties and Portuguese goalkeeper Ricardo became the first goalkeeper to save three penalties in a penalty shoot - out . Ricardo saved from Frank Lampard , Steven Gerrard , and Jamie Carragher ; the only England player who successfully converted his penalty was Owen Hargreaves . Portugal won the shoot - out 3 - 1 , despite misses from Petit and Hugo Viana . This game was also Erickson 's final match as England manager . South africa 2010 ( edit ) Main article : 2010 FIFA World Cup Qualification for the first African World Cup went successfully for new England manager Fabio Capello , after previous manager Steve McClaren was unable to secure qualification to the Euro 2008 . By winning nine times and only losing to Ukraine , England qualified ahead of Croatia , Belarus , Kazakhstan and Andorra . England 's group was seen as a favourable one , containing comparatively much weaker teams . However , England opened up their campaign with a 1 -- 1 draw against the United States , thanks to a major error by goalkeeper Robert Green . They then drew 0 -- 0 against Algeria and were booed off the field by their own fans , drawing the ire of striker Wayne Rooney . England eventually qualified for the next round by beating Slovenia 1 -- 0 , but only qualified as runners up to the United States , thereby meaning they would draw favourites Germany . In the second round match , Germany took the lead after 20 minutes after goalkeeper Manuel Neuer played the ball down the pitch to Miroslav Klose , who opened the scoring . The score became 2 -- 0 to Germany after 32 minutes . Shortly after , England defender Matthew Upson scored a header . Later , Frank Lampard had a shot at goal which was disallowed despite crossing the line ; which was confirmed on replays . German goalkeeper Manuel Neuer admitted subsequently he knew the ball had crossed the line , but decided to deceive the referee . The German media reported it was `` revenge for Wembley '' , while the English media criticised FIFA 's refusal to implement goal - line technology . Ironically , despite his earlier opposition to goal - line technology , Sepp Blatter said that it should be introduced after a Ukrainian goal against England at Euro 2012 was ruled out . As England tried to equalise , Germany used this to their advantage and scored two more goals . This became Germany 's biggest win against England in a World Cup , winning 4 - 1 . Brazil 2014 ( edit ) Main article : 2014 FIFA World Cup Under Roy Hodgson , who replaced Fabio Capello after Euro 2012 after a disagreement between Capello and The FA , England qualified for the second World Cup to be held in Brazil . Ukraine were again one of the opponents in the qualifying rounds . The other opponents included Montenegro , Poland , Moldova and San Marino . After winning six games and drawing four , England qualified unbeaten . The draw for the finals saw England have to play against Italy and Uruguay , both former world champions , which meant that it was the first ever time three World Champions were drawn in the same group , along with Costa Rica . England lost to Italy and Uruguay , and were thus knocked out after two games . The final match against Costa Rica finished as a goalless draw . This performance was statistically their worst ever performance at a World Cup , ending up with just one point after two losses to Uruguay and Italy and a goalless draw with Costa Rica in the dead rubber match , their lowest points total in the group stage of a world cup . Russia 2018 ( edit ) Main article : 2018 FIFA World Cup England played in UEFA Group F in qualification for the 2018 World Cup , in a group of six with Slovakia , Slovenia , Scotland , Lithuania and Malta , with only the winner of the group guaranteed qualification . England went into the qualification process under manager Sam Allardyce , only for Allardyce to leave the post after just one game due to controversy regarding discussing breaking FIFA rules . Under Allardyce 's replacement , Gareth Southgate , England went undefeated throughout qualification , winning eight matches out of 10 , drawing with Slovenia 0 -- 0 in Ljubljana , and drawing 2 -- 2 with Scotland in Glasgow thanks to a 90th - minute equaliser from Harry Kane . This was the third successive major tournament that England were undefeated , having been undefeated in 2014 World Cup , and Euro 2016 qualifying . 2018 finals ( edit ) England national team at the 2018 World Cup in Russia Under Gareth Southgate , the England team began their tournament in group G against Tunisia . The game started well for England with a goal from Harry Kane in the 11th minute . Tunisia equalised through Sassi from the penalty spot in the 35th minute following a foul by Kyle Walker . Some controversy followed as various potential offences against Harry Kane , inside the penalty area were ignored by the referee and no VAR checks were carried out . England persevered and scored a second goal in the 91st minute , again by Harry Kane , resulting in a 2 -- 1 victory . In the second group stage match , England surpassed their record for goals scored in a World Cup match by beating Panama 6 - 1 . Jesse Lingard scored the third goal , John Stones scored the first and fourth goals and Harry Kane scored a hat - trick with the second , fifth and sixth goals . In the final group stage match , England narrowly lost 1 - 0 to Belgium . Adnan Januzaj scored the sole goal of the game ; but with both teams having fielded reserve teams , with England specificially making 9 changes . Before the game media outlets stating that a loss could potentially become beneficial , as the winner would be in the half of the draw with four of the top seven sides in the world . The result that meant Belgium topped the group and England finished second , setting up a last 16 clash with Group H winners Colombia . England played their last 16 match in the Otkritie Arena , Moscow , with the same team as against Tunisia . Harry Kane scored his sixth goal of the tournament , and the third penalty , after once again being fouled in the box from a corner , similarly as against Panama . The score remained at 1 - 0 , until stoppage time , where a header from Yerry Mina beat Jordan Pickford in goal to bring the game to extra time . Neither team managed to score in extra time , and the match went to penalties , which England won 4 - 3 . As well as being the first knockout match England had won at a major tournament since 2006 ( last defeating Ecuador in the last 16 ) ; it was the first time England won a World Cup penalty shoot - out . The match was notable for the heated atmosphere the game was played in , with a total of eight yellow cards being shown in the match . England played against Sweden in their quarter - final at Cosmos Arena , Samara on 7 July 2018 . They won the match 2 -- 0 , with defender Harry Maguire scoring his first England goal , a header scored from a corner , and Dele Alli a second header from close range . This would send them through to their third World Cup semi-final and their first since 1990 , and third overall . The team played Croatia in the semi-final , resulting in a 2 -- 1 loss after extra time . England would later finish fourth in the competition , the best result since 1990 . England would lose again to Belgium in the 3rd place playoff , thanks to goals from Thomas Meunier and Eden Hazard , despite a Eric Dier shot being cleared off the line by Toby Alderweireld . The tournament would see England score nine goals from set - pieces -- the most by a team in a single World Cup tournament since 1966 .

( July 2018 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Four FIFA World Cup finals were officiated by English referees , more than by any other football association . The first Englishman to officiate a final , George Reader , is also the oldest World Cup referee to date , as he was 53 years and 236 days old at the 1950 decisive match between Uruguay and Brazil . The other final referees are William Ling ( 1954 ) , Jack Taylor ( 1974 ) and Howard Webb ( 2010 ) . Arthur Ellis , who was a linesman at the 1950 final , is part of an elite group of referees who has been called up for three consecutive World Cups ( 1950 -- 1958 ) .

Their best ever performance is winning the Cup in the 1966 tournament held in England, whilst they also finished in fourth place in 1990, in Italy, and in 2018 in Russia. Other than that, the team have reached the quarter-finals on nine occasions, the latest of which were at the 2002 (South Korea/Japan) and the 2006 (Germany).[b]\n" ]	[ "2006" ]
-6498131640874445975	The House of the Rising Sun	The House of the Rising Sun - wikipedia The House of the Rising Sun Jump to : navigation , search For other uses , see The House of the Rising Sun ( disambiguation ) . `` The House of the Rising Sun '' is a traditional folk song , sometimes called `` Rising Sun Blues '' . It tells of a life gone wrong in New Orleans ; many versions also urge a sibling to avoid the same fate . The most successful commercial version , recorded in 1964 by British rock group the Animals , was a number one hit on the UK Singles Chart and also in the United States and France . As a traditional folk song recorded by an electric rock band , it has been described as the `` first folk - rock hit '' .

Musicologists say that it is based on the tradition of broadside ballads , and thematically it has some resemblance to the 16th - century ballad The Unfortunate Rake . According to Alan Lomax , `` Rising Sun '' was used as the name of a bawdy house in two traditional English songs , and it was also a name for English pubs . He further suggested that the melody might be related to a 17th - century folk song , `` Lord Barnard and Little Musgrave '' , also known as `` Matty Groves '' , but a survey by Bertrand Bronson showed no clear relationship between the two songs . Lomax proposed that the location of the house was then relocated from England to New Orleans by white southern performers . However , Vance Randolph proposed an alternative French origin , the `` rising sun '' referring to the decorative use of the sunburst insignia dating to the time of Louis XIV , which was brought to North America by French immigrants . `` House of Rising Sun '' was said to have been known by miners in 1905 . The oldest published version of the lyrics is that printed by Robert Winslow Gordon in 1925 , in a column `` Old Songs That Men Have Sung '' in Adventure Magazine . The lyrics of that version begin : There is a house in New Orleans , it 's called the Rising Sun It 's been the ruin of many a poor girl Great God , and I for one The oldest known recording of the song , under the title `` Rising Sun Blues '' , is by Appalachian artists Clarence `` Tom '' Ashley and Gwen Foster , who recorded it for Vocalion Records on September 6 , 1933 . Ashley said he had learned it from his grandfather , Enoch Ashley . Roy Acuff , an `` early - day friend and apprentice '' of Ashley 's , learned it from him and recorded it as `` Rising Sun '' on November 3 , 1938 . Several older blues recordings of songs with similar titles are unrelated , for example , `` Rising Sun Blues '' by Ivy Smith ( 1927 ) and `` The Risin ' Sun '' by Texas Alexander ( 1928 ) . The song was among those collected by folklorist Alan Lomax , who , along with his father , was a curator of the Archive of American Folk Song for the Library of Congress . On an expedition with his wife to eastern Kentucky , Lomax set up his recording equipment in Middlesboro , Kentucky , in the house of singer and activist Tilman Cadle . In 1937 he recorded a performance by Georgia Turner , the 16 - year - old daughter of a local miner . He called it The Rising Sun Blues . Lomax later recorded a different version sung by Bert Martin and a third sung by Daw Henson , both eastern Kentucky singers . In his 1941 songbook Our Singing Country , Lomax credits the lyrics to Turner , with reference to Martin 's version .

Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( November 2016 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) In 1941 , Woody Guthrie recorded a version . A recording made in 1947 by Libby Holman and Josh White ( who is also credited with having written new words and music that have subsequently been popularized in the versions made by many other later artists ) was released by Mercury Records in 1950 . White learned the song from a `` white hillbilly singer '' , who might have been Ashley , in North Carolina in 1923 -- 1924 . Lead Belly recorded two versions of the song , in February 1944 and in October 1948 , called `` In New Orleans '' and `` The House of the Rising Sun '' , respectively ; the latter was recorded in sessions that were later used on the album Lead Belly 's Last Sessions ( 1994 , Smithsonian Folkways ) . In 1957 Glenn Yarbrough recorded the song for Elektra Records . The song is also credited to Ronnie Gilbert on an album by The Weavers released in the late 1940s or early 1950s . Pete Seeger released a version on Folkways Records in 1958 , which was re-released by Smithsonian Folkways in 2009 . Andy Griffith recorded the song on his 1959 album Andy Griffith Shouts the Blues and Old Timey Songs . In 1960 Miriam Makeba recorded the song on her eponymous RCA album . Joan Baez recorded it in 1960 on her self - titled debut album ; she frequently performed the song in concert throughout her career . Nina Simone recorded her first version for the album Nina at the Village Gate in 1962 . Tim Hardin sang it on This is Tim Hardin , recorded in 1964 but not released until 1967 . The Chambers Brothers recorded a version on Feelin ' the Blues , released on Vault records ( 1970 ) . Van Ronk arrangement ( edit ) In late 1961 , Bob Dylan recorded the song for his debut album , released in March 1962 . That release had no songwriting credit , but the liner notes indicate that Dylan learned this version of the song from Dave Van Ronk . In an interview for the documentary No Direction Home , Van Ronk said that he was intending to record the song and that Dylan copied his version . Van Ronk recorded it soon thereafter for the album Just Dave Van Ronk . I had learned it sometime in the 1950s , from a recording by Hally Wood , the Texas singer and collector , who had got it from an Alan Lomax field recording by a Kentucky woman named Georgia Turner . I put a different spin on it by altering the chords and using a bass line that descended in half steps -- a common enough progression in jazz , but unusual among folksingers . By the early 1960s , the song had become one of my signature pieces , and I could hardly get off the stage without doing it . The Animals ' version ( edit ) `` The House of the Rising Sun '' Single by The Animals from the album The Animals B - side `` Talkin ' ' bout You '' Released June 19 , 1964 ( 1964 - 06 - 19 ) ( UK ) August 1964 ( USA ) Format 7 - inch single Recorded May 18 , 1964 Genre Rock Length 2 : 59 , 4 : 29 Label Columbia Graphophone Songwriter ( s ) Traditional , arranged by Alan Price Producer ( s ) Mickie Most The Animals singles chronology `` Baby Let Me Take You Home '' ( 1964 ) `` The House of the Rising Sun '' ( 1964 ) `` I 'm Crying '' ( 1964 ) `` Baby Let Me Take You Home '' ( 1964 ) `` House of the Rising Sun '' ( 1964 ) `` I 'm Crying '' ( 1964 ) An interview with Eric Burdon revealed that he first heard the song in a club in Newcastle , England , where it was sung by the Northumbrian folk singer Johnny Handle . The Animals were on tour with Chuck Berry and chose it because they wanted something distinctive to sing . The Animals ' version transposes the narrative of the song from the point of view of a woman led into a life of degradation to that of a man whose father was now a gambler and drunkard , rather than the sweetheart in earlier versions . The Animals had begun featuring their arrangement of `` House of the Rising Sun '' during a joint concert tour with Chuck Berry , using it as their closing number to differentiate themselves from acts that always closed with straight rockers . It got a tremendous reaction from the audience , convincing initially reluctant producer Mickie Most that it had hit potential , and between tour stops the group went to a small recording studio on Kingsway in London to capture it . Recording and releases ( edit ) The song was recorded in just one take on May 18 , 1964 , and it starts with a now - famous electric guitar A minor chord arpeggio by Hilton Valentine . According to Valentine , he simply took Dylan 's chord sequence and played it as an arpeggio . The performance takes off with Burdon 's lead vocal , which has been variously described as `` howling , '' `` soulful , '' and as `` ... deep and gravelly as the north - east English coal town of Newcastle that spawned him . '' Finally , Alan Price 's pulsating organ part ( played on a Vox Continental ) completes the sound . Burdon later said , `` We were looking for a song that would grab people 's attention . '' As recorded , `` House of the Rising Sun '' ran four and a half minutes , regarded as far too long for a pop single at the time . Producer Most , who initially did not really want to record the song at all , said that on this occasion : `` Everything was in the right place ... It only took 15 minutes to make so I ca n't take much credit for the production '' . He was nonetheless now a believer and declared it a single at its full length , saying `` We 're in a microgroove world now , we will release it . '' In the United States however , the original single ( MGM 13264 ) was a 2 : 58 version . The MGM Golden Circle reissue ( KGC 179 ) featured the unedited 4 : 29 version , although the record label gives the edited playing time of 2 : 58 . The edited version was included on the group 's 1964 U.S. debut album The Animals , while the full version was later included on their best - selling 1966 U.S. greatest hits album , The Best of the Animals . However , the very first American release of the full - length version was on a 1965 album of various groups entitled Mickie Most Presents British Go - Go ( MGM SE - 4306 ) , the cover of which , under the listing of `` House of the Rising Sun '' , described it as the `` Original uncut version . '' Americans could also hear the complete version in the movie Go Go Mania in the spring of 1965 . `` House of the Rising Sun '' was not included on any of the group 's British albums , but it was reissued as a single twice in subsequent decades , charting both times , reaching number 25 in 1972 and number 11 in 1982 , using the famous Wittlesbach organ . The Animals version was played in 6 / 8 meter , unlike the 4 / 4 of most earlier versions . Arranging credit went only to Alan Price . According to Burdon , this was simply because there was insufficient room to name all five band members on the record label , and Alan Price 's first name was first alphabetically . However , this meant that only Price received songwriter 's royalties for the hit , a fact that has caused bitterness ever since , especially with Valentine . Reception ( edit ) `` House of the Rising Sun '' was a trans - Atlantic hit : after reaching the top of the UK pop singles chart in July 1964 , it topped the U.S. pop singles chart two months later , on September 5 , 1964 , where it stayed for three weeks , and became the first British Invasion number one unconnected with the Beatles . It was the group 's breakthrough hit in both countries and became their signature song . The song was also a hit in a number of other countries , including Ireland , where it reached No. 10 and dropped off the charts one week later . Bob Dylan said he first heard The Animals ' version on his car radio and `` jumped out of his car seat '' because he liked it so much ; but he stopped playing the song after the Animals ' recording became a hit because fans accused him of plagiarism . Dave Van Ronk said that The Animals ' version -- like Dylan 's version before it -- was based on his arrangement of the song . Dave Marsh described the Animals ' take on `` The House of the Rising Sun '' as `` ... the first folk - rock hit , '' sounding `` ... as if they 'd connected the ancient tune to a live wire . '' Writer Ralph McLean of the BBC agreed that `` It was arguably the first folk rock tune , '' calling it `` a revolutionary single '' , after which `` the face of modern music was changed forever . '' The Animals ' rendition of the song is recognized as one of the classics of British pop music . Writer Lester Bangs labeled it `` a brilliant rearrangement '' and `` a new standard rendition of an old standard composition . '' It ranked number 122 on Rolling Stone magazine 's list of `` 500 Greatest Songs of All Time '' . It is also one of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 's `` 500 Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll '' . The RIAA ranked it number 240 on their list of `` Songs of the Century '' . In 1999 it received a Grammy Hall of Fame Award . It has long since become a staple of oldies and classic rock radio formats . A 2005 Channel Five poll ranked it as Britain 's fourth - favourite number one song .

Their version is in 4 / 4 time ( like Van Ronk 's and most earlier versions , rather than the 6 / 8 used by the Animals ) and was driven by Gary Ray Thompson 's distorted guitar with fuzz and wah - wah effects , set against the frenetic drumming of Richard Stevers . According to Stevers , the Frijid Pink recording of `` House of the Rising Sun '' was done impromptu when there was time left over at a recording session booked for the group at the Tera Shirma Recording Studios . Stevers later played snippets from that session 's tracks for Paul Cannon , the music director of Detroit 's premier rock radio station , WKNR ; the two knew each other , as Cannon was the father of Stevers 's girlfriend . Stevers recalled , `` we went through the whole thing and ( and Cannon ) did n't say much . Then ' House ( of the Rising Sun ) ' started up and I immediately turned it off because it was n't anything I really wanted him to hear . '' However , Cannon was intrigued and had Stevers play the complete track for him , then advising Stevers , `` Tell Parrot ( Frijid Pink 's label ) to drop God Gave Me You ( the group 's current single ) and go with this one . '' Frijid Pink 's `` House of the Rising Sun '' debuted at # 29 on the WKNR hit parade dated January 6 , 1970 and broke nationally after some seven weeks -- during which the track was re-serviced to radio three times -- with a number 73 debut on the Hot 100 in Billboard dated February 27 , 1970 ( number 97 Canada 1970 / 01 / 31 ) with a subsequent three - week ascent to the Top 30 en route to a Hot 100 peak of number 7 on April 4 , 1970 . The certification of the Frijid Pink single `` House of the Rising Sun '' as a gold record for domestic sales of one million units was reported in the issue of Billboard dated May 30 , 1970 . The Frijid Pink single of `` House of the Rising Sun '' would give the song its most widespread international success , with Top Ten status reached in Austria ( number 3 ) , Belgium ( Flemish region , number 6 ) , Canada ( number 3 ) , Denmark ( number 3 ) , Germany ( two weeks at number 1 ) , Greece , Ireland ( number 7 ) , Israel ( number 4 ) , the Netherlands ( number 3 ) , Norway ( seven weeks at number 1 ) , Poland ( number 2 ) , Sweden ( number 6 ) , Switzerland ( number 2 ) , and the UK ( number 4 ) . The single also charted in Australia ( number 14 ) , France ( number 36 ) , and Italy ( number 54 ) . Sales and certifications ( edit ) Region Certification Certified units / Sales United States ( RIAA ) Gold 1,000,000 Billboard country chart ( edit ) `` The House of the Rising Sun '' Single by Dolly Parton from the album 9 to 5 and Odd Jobs B - side `` Workin ' Girl '' Released September 1981 ( 1981 - 09 ) Format 7 - inch single Recorded November 1980 Genre Country pop Length 4 : 02 Label RCA Songwriter ( s ) Traditional Producer ( s ) Mike Post Dolly Parton singles chronology `` But You Know I Love You '' ( 1981 ) `` The House of the Rising Sun '' ( 1981 ) `` Single Women '' ( 1982 ) `` But You Know I Love You '' ( 1981 ) `` House of the Rising Sun '' ( 1981 ) `` Single Women '' ( 1982 ) The song has twice been a hit record on Billboard 's country chart . Jody Miller version ( edit ) In 1973 , Jody Miller 's version reached number 29 on the country charts and number 41 on the adult contemporary chart . Dolly Parton version ( edit ) In September 1981 , Dolly Parton released a cover of the song as the third single from her album 9 to 5 and Odd Jobs . Like Miller 's earlier country hit , Parton 's remake returns the song to its original lyric of being about a fallen woman . The Parton version makes it quite blunt , with a few new lyric lines that were written by Parton . Parton 's remake reached number 14 on the U.S. country singles chart and crossed over to the pop charts , where it reached number 77 on the Billboard Hot 100 ; it also reached number 30 on the U.S. adult contemporary chart . Parton has occasionally performed the song live , perhaps most notably on her 1987 -- 88 television show , in an episode taped live in New Orleans . Five Finger Death Punch version ( edit ) `` House of the Rising Sun '' Single by Five Finger Death Punch from the album The Wrong Side of Heaven and the Righteous Side of Hell , Volume 2 Released February 3 , 2014 ( 2014 - 02 - 03 ) Recorded November 2013 Genre Hard rock Length 4 : 07 Label Prospect Park Songwriter ( s ) Traditional Five Finger Death Punch singles chronology `` Battle Born '' ( 2013 ) `` House of the Rising Sun '' ( 2014 ) `` Mama Said Knock You Out '' ( 2014 ) `` Battle Born '' ( 2013 ) `` House of the Rising Sun '' ( 2014 ) `` Mama Said Knock You Out '' ( 2014 ) The American heavy metal band Five Finger Death Punch released a cover of `` House of the Rising Sun '' on their fifth studio album , The Wrong Side of Heaven and the Righteous Side of Hell , Volume 2 , which was later released as the album 's second single and the band 's third single of the Wrong Side era . The references to New Orleans have been changed to Sin City , a reference to the negative effects of gambling in Las Vegas . The song was a top ten hit on mainstream rock radio in the United States . IRIS version ( edit ) `` Oh Mãe ! ! '' Single by IRIS ( pt ) from the album Vão Dar Banhó Cão Released 1995 ( 1995 ) Recorded 1995 Genre Rock Length 2 : 57 Label Vidisco Songwriter ( s ) Traditional The Portuguese band IRIS released a cover of `` House of the Rising Sun '' named `` Oh Mãe ! ! '' on their first studio album , Vão Dar Banhó Cão , which was later released as the band 's first single . The lyrics where completely changed with the accent from Algarve ( which is on the south of Portugal ) and the sound is much heavier . This song became a huge national success . French version ( edit ) In French , Johnny Hallyday 's version Le pénitencier , released in October 1964 , made it to the French Billboard Top 10 , and he performed the song in his 2014 USA tour . Possible real locations ( edit ) Various places in New Orleans have been proposed as the inspiration for the song , with varying plausibility . The phrase `` House of the Rising Sun '' is often understood as a euphemism for a brothel , but it is not known whether or not the house described in the lyrics was an actual or a fictitious place . One theory is that the song is about a woman who killed her father , an alcoholic gambler who had beaten his wife . Therefore , the House of the Rising Sun may be a jailhouse , from which one would be the first person to see the sun rise ( an idea supported by the lyric mentioning `` a ball and chain , '' though that phrase has been slang for marital relationships for at least as long as the song has been in print ) . Because women often sang the song , another theory is that the House of the Rising Sun was where prostitutes were detained while treated for syphilis . Since cures with mercury were ineffective , going back was very unlikely . 1867 ad noting the `` Rising Sun Coffee House '' building for rent or lease Only three candidates that use the name Rising Sun have historical evidence -- from old city directories and newspapers . The first was a small , short - lived hotel on Conti Street in the French Quarter in the 1820s . It burned down in 1822 . An excavation and document search in early 2005 found evidence that supported this claim , including an advertisement with language that may have euphemistically indicated prostitution . Archaeologists found an unusually large number of pots of rouge and cosmetics at the site . The second possibility was a `` Rising Sun Hall '' listed in late 19th - century city directories on what is now Cherokee Street , at the riverfront in the uptown Carrollton neighborhood , which seems to have been a building owned and used for meetings of a Social Aid and Pleasure Club , commonly rented out for dances and functions . It also is no longer extant . Definite links to gambling or prostitution ( if any ) are undocumented for either of these buildings . A third was `` The Rising Sun '' , which advertised in several local newspapers in the 1860s , located on what is now the lake side of the 100 block of Decatur Street . In various advertisements it is described as a `` Restaurant , '' a `` Lager Beer Salon , '' and a `` Coffee House . '' At the time , New Orleans businesses listed as coffee houses often also sold alcoholic beverages . Dave Van Ronk claimed in his biography `` The Mayor of MacDougal Street '' that at one time when he was in New Orleans someone approached him with a number of old photos of the city from the turn of the century . Among them `` was a picture of a forbidding stone doorway with a carving on the lintel of a stylized rising sun ... It was the Orleans Parish women 's prison . '' Bizarre New Orleans , a guidebook on New Orleans , asserts that the real house was at 1614 Esplanade Avenue between 1862 and 1874 and was said to have been named after its madam , Marianne LeSoleil Levant , whose surname means `` the rising sun '' in French . Another guidebook , Offbeat New Orleans , asserts that the real House of the Rising Sun was at 826 -- 830 St. Louis St. between 1862 and 1874 , also purportedly named for Marianne LeSoleil Levant . The building still stands , and Eric Burdon , after visiting at the behest of the owner , said , `` The house was talking to me . '' There is a contemporary B&B called the House of the Rising Sun , decorated in brothel style . The owners are fans of the song , but there is no connection with the original place . Not everyone believes that the house actually existed . Pamela D. Arceneaux , a research librarian at the Williams Research Center in New Orleans , is quoted as saying : I have made a study of the history of prostitution in New Orleans and have often confronted the perennial question , `` Where is the House of the Rising Sun ? '' without finding a satisfactory answer . Although it is generally assumed that the singer is referring to a brothel , there is actually nothing in the lyrics that indicate that the `` house '' is a brothel . Many knowledgeable persons have conjectured that a better case can be made for either a gambling hall or a prison ; however , to paraphrase Freud : sometimes lyrics are just lyrics .

About Wikipedia	who wrote house of the rising sun bob dylan	[ "Like many classic folk ballads, \"The House of the Rising Sun\" is of uncertain authorship. Musicologists say that it is based on the tradition of broadside ballads, and thematically it has some resemblance to the 16th-century ballad The Unfortunate Rake.[4] According to Alan Lomax, \"Rising Sun\" was used as the name of a bawdy house in two traditional English songs, and it was also a name for English pubs.[5] He further suggested that the melody might be related to a 17th-century folk song, \"Lord Barnard and Little Musgrave\", also known as \"Matty Groves\",[6][7] but a survey by Bertrand Bronson showed no clear relationship between the two songs.[8] Lomax proposed that the location of the house was then relocated from England to New Orleans by white southern performers.[5] However, Vance Randolph proposed an alternative French origin, the \"rising sun\" referring to the decorative use of the sunburst insignia dating to the time of Louis XIV, which was brought to North America by French immigrants.[8]" ]	[ "uncertain" ]
6332407881827763873	Major League Baseball Most Valuable Player Award	Major League Baseball most Valuable player award - wikipedia Major League Baseball most Valuable player award Major League Baseball Most Valuable Player Award ( MVP ) The Most Valuable Player award Given for Major League Baseball 's Regular Season MVP Country United States Presented by Baseball Writers ' Association of America History First award 1931 Most recent José Altuve , American League Giancarlo Stanton , National League The Major League Baseball Most Valuable Player Award ( MVP ) is an annual Major League Baseball ( MLB ) award given to one outstanding player in the American League and one in the National League . Since 1931 , it has been awarded by the Baseball Writers ' Association of America ( BBWAA ) . The winners receive the Kenesaw Mountain Landis Memorial Baseball Award , which became the official name of the award in 1944 , in honor of the first MLB commissioner , Kenesaw Mountain Landis , who served from 1920 until his death on November 25 , 1944 . MVP voting takes place before the postseason , but the results are not announced until after the World Series . The BBWAA began by polling three writers in each league city in 1938 , reducing that number to two per league city in 1961 . The BBWAA does not offer a clear - cut definition of what `` most valuable '' means , instead leaving the judgment to the individual voters . First basemen , with 34 winners , have won the most MVPs among infielders , followed by second basemen ( 16 ) , third basemen ( 15 ) , and shortstops ( 15 ) . Of the 25 pitchers who have won the award , 15 are right - handed while 10 are left - handed . Walter Johnson , Carl Hubbell , and Hal Newhouser are the only pitchers who have won multiple times , Newhouser winning consecutively in 1944 and 1945 . Hank Greenberg , Stan Musial , Alex Rodriguez , and Robin Yount have won at different positions , while Rodriguez is the only player who has won the award with two different teams at two different positions . Barry Bonds has won the most often ( seven times ) and the most consecutively ( four : 2001 -- 04 ) . Jimmie Foxx was the first player to win multiple times ; 9 players have won three times , and 19 have won twice . Frank Robinson is the only player to win the award in both the American and National Leagues . The award 's only tie occurred in the National League in 1979 , when Keith Hernandez and Willie Stargell received an equal number of points . There have been 18 unanimous winners , who received all the first - place votes . The New York Yankees have the most winning players with 22 , followed by the St. Louis Cardinals with 17 winners . The award has never been presented to a member of the following three teams : Arizona Diamondbacks , New York Mets , and Tampa Bay Rays . The most recent recipients are José Altuve in the American League and Giancarlo Stanton in the National League . In recent decades , pitchers have rarely won the award . When Justin Verlander won the AL award in 2011 , he became the first pitcher in either league to be named the MVP since Dennis Eckersley in 1992 . Verlander also became the first starting pitcher to win this award since Roger Clemens accomplished the feat in 1986 . The National League went even longer without an MVP award to a pitcher . After Bob Gibson won in 1968 , no pitcher in that league was named MVP until Clayton Kershaw in 2014 . Contents 1 Chalmers Award ( 1911 -- 1914 ) 2 League Awards ( 1922 -- 1929 ) 3 Baseball Writers ' Association of America 's Most Valuable Player ( 1931 -- present ) 4 Key 5 See also 6 Notes 7 References 8 External links Chalmers award ( 1911 -- 1914 ) ( edit ) Ty Cobb won the first American League Chalmers Award in 1911 and was at the center of the controversy over the previous season 's award . Before the 1910 season , Hugh Chalmers of Chalmers Automobile announced he would present a Chalmers Model 30 automobile to the player with the highest batting average in Major League Baseball at the end of the season . The 1910 race for best average in the American League was between the Detroit Tigers ' widely disliked Ty Cobb and Nap Lajoie of the Cleveland Indians . On the last day of the season , Lajoie overtook Cobb 's batting average with seven bunt hits against the St. Louis Browns . American League President Ban Johnson said a recalculation showed that Cobb had won the race anyway , and Chalmers ended up awarding cars to both players . The following season , Chalmers created the Chalmers Award . A committee of baseball writers were to convene after the season to determine the `` most important and useful player to the club and to the league '' . Since the award was not as effective at advertising as Chalmers had hoped , it was discontinued after 1914 .

In 1922 the American League created a new award to honor `` the baseball player who is of the greatest all - around service to his club '' . Winners , voted on by a committee of eight baseball writers chaired by James Crusinberry , received a bronze medal and a cash prize . Voters were required to select one player from each team and player - coaches and prior award winners were ineligible . Famously , these criteria resulted in Babe Ruth winning only a single MVP award before it was dropped after 1928 . The National League award , without these restrictions , lasted from 1924 to 1929 .

One writer in each city with a team filled out a ten - place ballot , with ten points for the recipient of a first - place vote , nine for a second - place vote , and so on . In 1938 , the BBWAA raised the number of voters to three per city and gave 14 points for a first - place vote . The only significant change since then occurred in 1961 , when the number of voters was reduced to two per league city . Jimmie Foxx was the first player to win three MVP awards . Hall of Famer and 2 - time MVP , Hank Greenberg Jim Konstanty , to date the only National League relief pitcher to be named MVP won it in 1950 . Hall of Famer Willie Mays won the award in 1954 and 1965 with the same team in different cities . Barry Bonds ' seven MVPs are the most for any individual player . Alex Rodriguez won the award with two different teams at two different positions . Albert Pujols won the award three times , all at first base with the St. Louis Cardinals . Miguel Cabrera was the winner of back - to - back AL Awards from 2012 - 13 . Josh Donaldson won the AL MVP in 2015 .

The name was derived from a wordplay -- `` Green '' standing for the environmental concerns of the founders , and `` Black '' for the high cocoa solids chocolate they wished to provide . In 1994 , the company began purchasing Fairtrade cocoa from Maya farmers in Belize for the Maya Gold chocolate bar , and was awarded the Worldaware Business Award in 1994 for good business practice , as well as the UK 's first Fairtrade mark . The company has a small office in Punta Gorda , Belize . Ownership changes and Fairtrade ( edit ) In May 2005 , Cadbury Schweppes ( latterly Cadbury plc ) bought Green & Black 's for an undisclosed sum , estimated to be around £ 20m . Cadbury pledged to run the company as a separate business . Green & Black 's Australia chocolate announced that it would convert 90 % of its range to Fairtrade by the end of 2010 , and its entire range by 2011 . In August 2017 the Company launched its first product line , the Velvet Edition , which is neither Fair Trade nor Organic . Operations ( edit ) Green & Black 's has operations around the world , including the United States , United Kingdom , Canada , Australia , and other nations . United States ( edit ) Green & Black 's sells chocolate bars in the United States . They are sold in stores such as Whole Foods Market , Trader Joe 's , Walgreens , among other retailers nationwide . They have various chocolate bars , on various flavors such as `` Dark 85 % Cacao '' and `` White '' . All are Fairtrade Certified . Recalls ( edit ) On 15 October 2012 Mondelēz Global LLC conducted voluntary U.S. recall of Green & Black 's organic peanut and sea salt milk chocolate bar due to possible health risk .

The average speed of an object in an interval of time is the distance travelled by the object divided by the duration of the interval ; the instantaneous speed is the limit of the average speed as the duration of the time interval approaches zero . Speed has the dimensions of distance divided by time . The SI unit of speed is the metre per second , but the most common unit of speed in everyday usage is the kilometre per hour or , in the US and the UK , miles per hour . For air and marine travel the knot is commonly used . The fastest possible speed at which energy or information can travel , according to special relativity , is the speed of light in a vacuum c = 7008299792458000000 ♠ 299 792 458 metres per second ( approximately 7008299722222222222 ♠ 1079000000 km / h or 7008299963840000000 ♠ 671 000 000 mph ) . Matter can not quite reach the speed of light , as this would require an infinite amount of energy . In relativity physics , the concept of rapidity replaces the classical idea of speed . Contents ( hide ) 1 Definition 1.1 Historical definition 1.2 Instantaneous speed 1.3 Average speed 1.4 Tangential speed 2 Units 3 Examples of different speeds 4 Psychology 5 See also 6 References Definition ( edit ) Historical definition ( edit ) Italian physicist Galileo Galilei is usually credited with being the first to measure speed by considering the distance covered and the time it takes . Galileo defined speed as the distance covered per unit of time . In equation form , this is v = d t , ( \ displaystyle v = ( \ frac ( d ) ( t ) ) , ) where v ( \ displaystyle v ) is speed , d ( \ displaystyle d ) is distance , and t ( \ displaystyle t ) is time . A cyclist who covers 30 metres in a time of 2 seconds , for example , has a speed of 15 metres per second . Objects in motion often have variations in speed ( a car might travel along a street at 50 km / h , slow to 0 km / h , and then reach 30 km / h ) . Instantaneous speed ( edit ) Speed at some instant , or assumed constant during a very short period of time , is called instantaneous speed . By looking at a speedometer , one can read the instantaneous speed of a car at any instant . A car travelling at 50 km / h generally goes for less than one hour at a constant speed , but if it did go at that speed for a full hour , it would travel 50 km . If the vehicle continued at that speed for half an hour , it would cover half that distance ( 25 km ) . If it continued for only one minute , it would cover about 833 m . In mathematical terms , the instantaneous speed v ( \ displaystyle v ) is defined as the magnitude of the instantaneous velocity v ( \ displaystyle ( \ boldsymbol ( v ) ) ) , that is , the derivative of the position r ( \ displaystyle ( \ boldsymbol ( r ) ) ) with respect to time : v = v = r _̇ = d r d t . ( \ displaystyle v = \ left ( \ boldsymbol ( v ) ) \ right = \ left ( \ dot ( \ boldsymbol ( r ) ) ) \ right = \ left ( \ frac ( d ( \ boldsymbol ( r ) ) ) ( dt ) ) \ right \ , . ) If s ( \ displaystyle s ) is the length of the path ( also known as the distance ) travelled until time t ( \ displaystyle t ) , the speed equals the time derivative of s ( \ displaystyle s ) : v = d s d t . ( \ displaystyle v = ( \ frac ( ds ) ( dt ) ) . ) In the special case where the velocity is constant ( that is , constant speed in a straight line ) , this can be simplified to v = s / t ( \ displaystyle v = s / t ) . The average speed over a finite time interval is the total distance travelled divided by the time duration . Average speed ( edit ) Different from instantaneous speed , average speed is defined as the total distance covered divided by the time interval . For example , if a distance of 80 kilometres is driven in 1 hour , the average speed is 80 kilometres per hour . Likewise , if 320 kilometres are travelled in 4 hours , the average speed is also 80 kilometres per hour . When a distance in kilometres ( km ) is divided by a time in hours ( h ) , the result is in kilometres per hour ( km / h ) . Average speed does not describe the speed variations that may have taken place during shorter time intervals ( as it is the entire distance covered divided by the total time of travel ) , and so average speed is often quite different from a value of instantaneous speed . If the average speed and the time of travel are known , the distance travelled can be calculated by rearranging the definition to d = v _̄ t . ( \ displaystyle d = ( \ boldsymbol ( \ bar ( v ) ) ) t \ , . ) Using this equation for an average speed of 80 kilometres per hour on a 4 - hour trip , the distance covered is found to be 320 kilometres . Expressed in graphical language , the slope of a tangent line at any point of a distance - time graph is the instantaneous speed at this point , while the slope of a chord line of the same graph is the average speed during the time interval covered by the chord . Tangential speed ( edit ) Linear speed is the distance travelled per unit of time , while tangential speed ( or tangential velocity ) is the linear speed of something moving along a circular path . A point on the outside edge of a merry - go - round or turntable travels a greater distance in one complete rotation than a point nearer the center . Travelling a greater distance in the same time means a greater speed , and so linear speed is greater on the outer edge of a rotating object than it is closer to the axis . This speed along a circular path is known as tangential speed because the direction of motion is tangent to the circumference of the circle . For circular motion , the terms linear speed and tangential speed are used interchangeably , and both use units of m / s , km / h , and others . Rotational speed ( or angular speed ) involves the number of revolutions per unit of time . All parts of a rigid merry - go - round or turntable turn about the axis of rotation in the same amount of time . Thus , all parts share the same rate of rotation , or the same number of rotations or revolutions per unit of time . It is common to express rotational rates in revolutions per minute ( RPM ) or in terms of the number of `` radians '' turned in a unit of time . There are little more than 6 radians in a full rotation ( 2π radians exactly ) . When a direction is assigned to rotational speed , it is known as rotational velocity or angular velocity . Rotational velocity is a vector whose magnitude is the rotational speed . Tangential speed and rotational speed are related : the greater the RPMs , the larger the speed in metres per second . Tangential speed is directly proportional to rotational speed at any fixed distance from the axis of rotation . However , tangential speed , unlike rotational speed , depends on radial distance ( the distance from the axis ) . For a platform rotating with a fixed rotational speed , the tangential speed in the centre is zero . Towards the edge of the platform the tangential speed increases proportional to the distance from the axis . In equation form : v ∝ r ω , ( \ displaystyle v \ propto \ ! \ , r \ omega \ , , ) where v is tangential speed and ω ( Greek letter omega ) is rotational speed . One moves faster if the rate of rotation increases ( a larger value for ω ) , and one also moves faster if movement farther from the axis occurs ( a larger value for r ) . Move twice as far from the rotational axis at the centre and you move twice as fast . Move out three times as far and you have three times as much tangential speed . In any kind of rotating system , tangential speed depends on how far you are from the axis of rotation . When proper units are used for tangential speed v , rotational speed ω , and radial distance r , the direct proportion of v to both r and ω becomes the exact equation v = r ω .

Piaget studied this subject inspired by a question asked to him in 1928 by Albert Einstein : `` In what order do children acquire the concepts of time and speed ? '' Children 's early concept of speed is based on `` overtaking '' , taking only temporal and spatial orders into consideration , specifically : `` A moving object is judged to be more rapid than another when at a given moment the first object is behind and a moment or so later ahead of the other object .

The residence had been occupied by various famous Hollywood and music industry figures . In 1994 , the house was demolished , a new house was constructed on the site and the street address was changed to 10066 Cielo Drive . Architecture ( edit ) The original house was designed by Robert Byrd in 1942 and completed in 1944 for French actress Michèle Morgan . It was extremely similar , but not exactly identical , to the house which sat on its own plateau directly below 10050 , 10048 Cielo Drive , which was often called the Twin House . They were originally built on land called The Bedrock Properties and were built at the same time . The French country - style structure was located on 3 acres ( 1.2 ha ) at the end of a cul - de-sac on Cielo Drive in Benedict Canyon , an area west of Hollywood in the Santa Monica Mountains that overlooks Beverly Hills and Bel Air . The hillside structure faced east and featured stone fireplaces , beamed ceilings , paned windows , a loft above the living room , a swimming pool and a guest house , and was surrounded by thick pine and flowering cherry trees . History ( edit ) Michèle Morgan , French actress for RKO Radio Pictures , had architect Robert Byrd design and J. F. Wadkins build the luxury home resembling an early 19th - century European style farmhouse . The house was completed in 1944 , with an address of 10050 Cielo Drive . Beverly Hills , California . By the end of World War II , Morgan had returned to France and in 1946 Lillian Gish moved in with her mother while filming Duel in the Sun ( 1946 ) . Rudolph Altobelli , a music and film industry talent manager , bought the house for $86,000 in the early 1960s ( equivalent to US $ 700,000 in 2017 ) and often rented it out . Residents included Cary Grant and Dyan Cannon ( it was their honeymoon nest in 1965 ) , Henry Fonda , George Chakiris , Mark Lindsay , Paul Revere & the Raiders , Samantha Eggar , and Olivia Hussey . Charles Manson visited the house in late 1968 , when it was occupied by couple Terry Melcher ( the son of actress Doris Day ) and Candice Bergen with roommate / talent - manager Roger Hart . The couple split in early 1969 , with Melcher relocating to Malibu . In February 1969 , Roman Polanski and his wife Sharon Tate began renting the home from Altobelli . On August 9 , 1969 , the home became the scene of the murders of Tate , Wojciech Frykowski , Abigail Folger , Jay Sebring , and Steven Parent at the hands of the Manson `` Family '' . William Garretson , Altobelli 's caretaker and an acquaintance of Parent , lived in the guest house behind the main house and was unaware of the murders until the next morning , when he was taken into custody by police officers who had arrived at the scene . He was later cleared of all charges . Altobelli moved into the house just three weeks after the murders and resided there for the next 20 years . During an interview on ABC 's show 20 / 20 , he said that while living there , he felt `` safe , secure , loved and beauty . '' He sold the property for $1.6 million in 1989 ( equivalent to $3.2 million in 2017 ) . The final resident of the original house was the musician Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails . Reznor began renting the house in 1992 and set up a recording studio there . This studio , dubbed `` Pig '' ( sometimes called `` Le Pig '' ) in a reference to murderer Susan Atkins ' writing `` Pig '' in Tate 's blood on the front door of the house , was the site of recording sessions for most of the Nine Inch Nails album The Downward Spiral ( 1994 ) . Reznor moved out of the house in December 1993 , later explaining `` there was too much history in that house for me to handle . '' Reznor made a statement about working in the Tate house during a 1997 interview with Rolling Stone : `` While I was working on Downward Spiral , I was living in the house where Sharon Tate was killed . Then one day I met her sister . It was a random thing , just a brief encounter . And she said : `` Are you exploiting my sister 's death by living in her house ? '' For the first time the whole thing kind of slapped me in the face . I said , `` No , it 's just sort of my own interest in American folklore . I 'm in this place where a weird part of history occurred . '' I guess it never really struck me before , but it did then . She lost her sister from a senseless , ignorant situation that I do n't want to support . When she was talking to me , I realized for the first time , `` What if it was my sister ? '' I thought , `` Fuck Charlie Manson . '' I do n't want to be looked at as a guy who supports serial - killer bullshit . '' Reznor took the front door of the house with him when he moved out , installing it at Nothing Studios , his new recording studio / record label headquarters in New Orleans . Nothing Studios was sold and the facade of the building was changed . The front door Reznor moved from 10050 Cielo Drive is currently preserved in the possession of the owner of the building . In 1994 , the owner demolished the house and built a replacement home called Villa Bella , with a new street address of 10066 Cielo Drive . The owner of the property as of 2013 is Hollywood producer Jeff Franklin . The new property does not resemble the residence in which the Tate murders occurred .

Although the terms of reference of a project are often referred to as the project charter , there are significant differences between the two . This article will describe the import of a TOR containing detailed definitions however , a project charter is defined as containing high - level requirements , assumptions , constraints and descriptions as well as a budget summary without detail and a milestone - only schedule . Terms of reference show how the object in question will be defined , developed , and verified . They should also provide a documented basis for making future decisions and for confirming or developing a common understanding of the scope among stakeholders . In order to meet these criteria , success factors / risks and constraints are fundamental . They are very important for project proposals . Creating detailed terms of reference is critical , as they define the : vision , objectives , scope and deliverables ( i.e. what has to be achieved ) stakeholders , roles and responsibilities ( i.e. who will take part in it ) resource , financial and quality plans ( i.e. how it will be achieved ) work breakdown structure and schedule ( i.e. when it will be achieved ) TORs should include : success factors , risks and constraints . Project life - cycle ( edit ) The terms of reference are created during the earlier stages of project management by the founders of the project in question , immediately after the approval of a project business case . They are documented by the project manager and presented to the project sponsor or sponsors for approval . Once the terms have been approved , the members of the project team have a clear definition of the scope of the project . They will then be ready to progress with implementing the remaining project deliverables . This phrase `` terms of reference '' often refers to the task ( s ) assigned to a consultant or advisor . Such a consultant or advisor may be engaged via a contract with general terms of engagement that also incorporate the terms of reference that specifically describe the consultant 's task .

He has two younger brothers , Isaiah and Daniel . He played high school basketball at La Salle Academy . He also teamed with future NBA players Elton Brand and Lamar Odom on the same Amateur Athletic Union ( AAU ) team . Growing up , Artest witnessed the murder of a fellow player on a basketball court in Niagara Falls , New York . `` It was so competitive , they broke a leg from a table and they threw it , it went right through his heart and he died right on the court . So I 'm accustomed to playing basketball really rough . '' The player to whom Artest was referring was 19 - year - old Lloyd Newton , who was stabbed in the back with a broken - off table leg during an altercation at a 1991 YMCA - sanctioned basketball tournament . College career Artest played college basketball at St. John 's University from 1997 to 1999 . At St. John 's , he majored in mathematics . In 1999 , he led the Red Storm to a 14 - 4 record in the Big East Conference and 28 - 9 overall and the Elite Eight of the NCAA Division I Tournament , losing to Ohio State . Artest gained fame playing in some of New York City 's high - profile summer basketball tournaments at Nike Pro City , Hoops in the Sun at Orchard Beach , Bronx , New York and Dyckman Park at Washington Heights , earning himself nicknames such as Tru Warier and The New World Order , a name he received from Randy Cruz ( one of the co-founders of the Hoops In The Sun basketball league at Orchard Beach ) . Professional career Chicago Bulls ( 1999 -- 2002 ) Artest was selected by the Chicago Bulls with the 16th pick of the 1999 NBA draft . Artest played a total of 175 games for the Bulls over 2 - 1 / 2 years , the bulk as a starter , during which time he averaged about 12.5 points and just over 4 rebounds per game . He was named to the NBA All - Rookie Second Team in the 1999 -- 2000 season . Midway through the 2001 -- 02 season , Artest was traded by Chicago to the Indiana Pacers along with Ron Mercer , Brad Miller , and Kevin Ollie , in exchange for Jalen Rose , Travis Best , Norman Richardson , and a 2nd round draft pick . Indiana Pacers ( 2002 -- 2006 ) During the 2003 -- 04 season with the Pacers , he averaged 18.3 points per game , 5.7 rebounds per game , and 3.7 assists per game . Artest made the 2004 NBA All - Star Game as a reserve and was named the Defensive Player of the Year . He wore three jersey numbers for the Pacers : 15 , 23 , and 91 . Pacers -- Pistons brawl Main article : Pacers -- Pistons brawl On November 19 , 2004 , Artest was at the center of an altercation among players and fans during a game in Auburn Hills , Michigan , between Artest 's Pacers and the home team Detroit Pistons . The brawl involved Artest , Pistons center Ben Wallace , Artest 's teammates Jermaine O'Neal and Stephen Jackson , several other players , and spectators including Pistons fans John Green and A.J. Shackleford . The fight resulted in the game being stopped with less than a minute remaining . O'Neal , Jackson and Wallace were suspended indefinitely the day after the game . A day later , the NBA suspended Artest for the rest of the regular season , plus any playoff games . Artest missed 86 games , the longest suspension for an on - court incident in NBA history . Aftermath and trade Early in the 2005 -- 06 season , Artest requested a trade from the Indiana Pacers and was put on the team 's inactive roster . Artest 's call for a trade created a rift between him and his teammates . `` We felt betrayed , a little disrespected '' , teammate Jermaine O'Neal said . As for their basketball relationship , O'Neal said : `` The business relationship is over . That 's fact . '' Pacers president Larry Bird said he also felt `` betrayed '' and `` disappointed '' . On January 24 , 2006 , reports from NBA sources confirmed that the Sacramento Kings had agreed to trade Peja Stojaković to the Pacers for Artest . However , before the trade could be completed , many press outlets reported that Artest had informed team management that he did not want to go to Sacramento . According to Artest 's agent , his original trade request was only made because he was upset when he heard rumors that the Pacers were going to trade him to Sacramento for Stojaković early in the season . While not denying his agent 's story , Artest did deny that he had rejected the trade to Sacramento , saying that he would play anywhere ; hence , contradicting earlier press accounts stating Artest was holding up the trade . Given conflicting accounts , it is unclear why the trade was delayed , but it was nevertheless completed on January 25 and Artest was officially sent to the Kings for Stojaković . Sacramento Kings ( 2006 -- 2008 ) Artest during his tenure with the Sacramento Kings . Though traded midseason to the Kings franchise , Artest quickly found his place on the team by providing some much needed defense . Though many feared his abrasive personality would be a problem , he worked well with his teammates and then - coach Rick Adelman . Artest wore # 93 for his jersey number with the Kings . After acquiring Artest in late January 2006 , the team immediately went on a 14 -- 5 run , the team 's best run of the season . The Kings broke . 500 and landed the eighth spot in the Western Conference . This prompted ESPN to declare that `` Ron Artest has breathed new life in the Sacramento Kings and enhanced their chances of reaching the playoffs for the ninth straight year . '' Fox Sports proclaimed , `` Artest has Kings back in playoff hunt . '' He was suspended for Game 2 of the team 's first - round series against the San Antonio Spurs following a flagrant foul ( elbow to the head ) on Manu Ginóbili . The Kings eventually were eliminated from the playoffs in six games . After the playoffs , Artest offered to donate his entire salary to keep teammate Bonzi Wells with the team , who became a free agent after the 2005 -- 06 NBA season . He even jokingly threatened to kill Wells if he did not re-sign with the Kings . Wells was later picked up by the Houston Rockets and then traded to the New Orleans Hornets for former Sacramento Kings player Bobby Jackson . Artest also offered to donate his salary to retain the services of head coach Rick Adelman , whose contract expired after the same season . Adelman and the Kings did not agree on a contract extension so the two parted ways . Houston Rockets ( 2008 -- 2009 ) Artest playing for the Houston Rockets in the 2008 -- 09 NBA season . On July 29 , 2008 , it was reported that Artest was to be traded to the Houston Rockets along with Patrick Ewing , Jr. and Sean Singletary for Bobby Jackson , recently drafted forward Donté Greene , a 2009 first - round draft pick , and cash considerations . The deal was made official on August 14 , due to Greene 's rookie contract signing on July 14 . In response to the trade , Yao Ming was generally positive , but jokingly said that `` hopefully he 's not fighting anymore and going after a guy in the stands . '' In response , Artest said , `` This is Tracy ( McGrady ) and Yao 's team , you know . I 'm not going to take it personal . I understand what Yao said , but I 'm still ghetto . That 's not going to change . I 'm never going to change my culture . Yao has played with a lot of black players , but I do n't think he 's ever played with a black player that really represents his culture as much as I represent my culture . '' Artest and Yao later exchanged extensive phone calls . Artest also said , `` Whatever Adelman needs me to do , whether that 's come off the bench , sixth , seventh man , start , I do n't even care . Whatever he needs me to do , I 'm 100 percent sure it 's going to work out . '' On October 30 , 2008 , Artest received his first technical as a Houston Rocket , as he raced towards a group of Dallas Mavericks players and then quickly went to Yao Ming who bumped Josh Howard after play stopped . Artest was trying to pull Yao away from the play and to the foul line , but contact was made with Maverick players . The TNT broadcast crew felt this technical was not warranted , and was based upon Artest 's prior reputation as a feisty player in the league . In the playoffs , Artest helped the Rockets advance past the first round for the first time in 12 seasons . In Game 2 of the second round against the Los Angeles Lakers , Artest , who was battling for rebounding position with Kobe Bryant , was elbowed in the neck by Bryant , which was later ruled to be a Type 1 flagrant foul . After being called for an offensive foul , Artest was indignant and proceeded to antagonize Bryant after the play , which eventually led to an ejection by Joe Crawford . In Game 3 , Artest was again ejected in the fourth quarter after a hard foul on Pau Gasol , who was attempting to dunk on a fast - break . It was determined the next day that the foul was not serious enough to warrant an ejection , and the flagrant foul was downgraded . Los Angeles Lakers ( 2009 -- 2013 ) Artest with Corey Maggette of Golden State in 2009 . In July 2009 , the Los Angeles Lakers signed Artest to a five - year deal worth about $33 million . Artest chose the number 37 jersey , which he said was in honor of Michael Jackson . Jackson 's Thriller album was at No. 1 on the charts for 37 straight weeks . In Game 5 of the 2010 Western Conference Finals , Artest hit a game - winning shot at the buzzer after grabbing a last second offensive rebound . He scored 25 points against the Phoenix Suns in Game 6 and went to the NBA Finals for the first time in his career . In the finals , the Lakers defeated the Boston Celtics , four games to three . Artest scored 20 points in the clincher and sank the team 's last field goal -- a three - pointer late in the fourth quarter -- to virtually seal the victory . Afterwards , Lakers head coach Phil Jackson called Artest the most valuable player of Game 7 against the Celtics . He won his first championship ring with the Lakers . For the 2010 -- 2011 season , Artest switched back to number 15 , his college number at St. John 's and the first number he wore in his NBA career . On April 26 , 2011 , Artest won the NBA 's J. Walter Kennedy Citizenship Award . Artest changed his name to Metta World Peace during the offseason . He came into training camp for the 2011 -- 12 season out of shape . Consequently , new Lakers coach Mike Brown moved World Peace to a reserve role with reduced playing time . World Peace lamented that Brown 's coaching style placed too much emphasis on statistics . World Peace and Laker Pau Gasol against Washington 's JaVale McGee in 2012 . On April 22 , 2012 , in a game against the Oklahoma City Thunder , World Peace elbowed James Harden in the head as he was celebrating a dunk . He received a flagrant foul 2 and was immediately ejected . Harden stayed on the floor for several minutes and left the game for evaluation . Harden was later found to have suffered a concussion . After the game , World Peace apologized in front of reporters , stating that the elbow was `` unintentional . '' On April 24 , 2012 , World Peace was suspended for seven games , meaning he would miss the Lakers ' season finale game against the Sacramento Kings as well as the first few games of the playoffs . After a 1 -- 4 start to the 2012 -- 13 season , the Lakers fired Brown as head coach and hired Mike D'Antoni . On December 18 , 2012 , in a win against the Philadelphia 76ers , he grabbed a career high 16 rebounds to add to his 19 points . On January 11 , 2013 , he suffered a right leg injury against the Thunder that would hamper him for two months . Around the same time , he also had an injury to his right arm that made it difficult to bend . His health worsened to the point where D'Antoni moved him off the perimeter on defense and had him guard power forwards instead . By mid-March , he was able to guard the perimeter again . On March 25 , against the Golden State Warriors , World Peace tore the lateral meniscus in his left knee . He underwent surgery that was originally estimated to sideline him for six weeks . Despite the estimates , he returned 12 days after his surgery . In his absence , D'Antoni was using a reduced seven - man rotation with Kobe Bryant playing close to all 48 minutes each game . World Peace wanted to reduce his teammates ' workload , if even for a few minutes , as the Lakers fought to qualify for the playoffs . The Lakers qualified for the playoffs as the seventh seed , but were swept 4 -- 0 by San Antonio in the first round . Due to the Lakers ' other injuries , World Peace played in Game 3 in spite of running with discomfort after having fluid drained from a cyst behind his surgically repaired left knee . He missed the final game of the series , and later admitted he came back too soon . For the season , he averaged his most points ( 12.4 ) since 2008 -- 09 , and shot his highest percentage (. 404 ) since 2009 -- 10 . Still , ESPN wrote those numbers indicated that `` the 33 - year - old is clearly on the decline '' . On July 11 , 2013 , after four seasons with the Lakers , the team waived World Peace via the amnesty clause to gain relief from the salary cap . New York Knicks ( 2013 -- 2014 ) On July 16 , 2013 , World Peace signed a two - year deal with the New York Knicks . On February 24 , 2014 , he was waived by the Knicks after they bought out his contract . China and Italy ( 2014 -- 2015 ) On August 4 , 2014 , World Peace signed with the Sichuan Blue Whales of the Chinese Basketball Association . Due to a recurrent knee injury , he was replaced on the roster in December 2014 with Daniel Orton . In 15 games , World Peace averaged 19 points , 6 rebounds and 2.3 steals per game . On March 24 , 2015 , World Peace signed with Pallacanestro Cantù of Italy for the rest of the 2014 -- 15 Lega Basket Serie A season . On May 27 , 2015 , in Cantù 's Game 5 quarter - final loss to Reyer Venezia Mestre which ended their season , World Peace was ejected from the game and charged with five fouls after getting involved in a skirmish during the fourth quarter . In July 2015 , he parted ways with the club after the two parties could not come to a new contract agreement . Return to the Lakers ( 2015 -- 2017 ) On September 24 , 2015 , World Peace signed with the Los Angeles Lakers , returning to the franchise for a second stint . On November 6 , 2015 , he made his season debut in a 104 -- 98 win over the Brooklyn Nets , playing 17 minutes with a plus - minus of 12 . Teammate Kobe Bryant praised him for his impact on `` everybody on the floor defensively '' . On September 21 , 2016 , World Peace re-signed with the Lakers . On April 11 , 2017 , World Peace scored a team - leading 18 points in the second half to help the Lakers extend its longest winning streak in four years to five games with a 108 -- 96 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans . He had the ball in his hands with the crowd on its feet for the Lakers ' final possession in what was potentially his final game at Staples Center . During the game , he got his 1,716 th and 1,717 th career steals to move past Ron Harper for 22nd place in NBA history . During the offseason , World Peace played with the New Orleans Gators of the Global Mixed Gender Basketball ( GMGB ) League . Coaching career On October 23 , 2017 , World Peace was hired as a player development coach by the South Bay Lakers , the Los Angeles Lakers ' development - league team in the NBA G League .

Pacers -- Pistons brawl Main article : Pacers -- Pistons brawl On November 19 , 2004 , Artest was at the center of an altercation among players and fans during a game in Auburn Hills , Michigan between Artest 's Pacers and the home team Detroit Pistons . The brawl began when Artest fouled Pistons center Ben Wallace as Wallace was putting up a shot . Wallace , upset at being fouled hard when the game was effectively over ( the Pacers led 97 -- 82 with less than 50 seconds to go ) , responded by shoving Artest , leading to an altercation near the scorer 's table . Artest walked to the sideline and lay down on the scorer 's table . Reacting to Wallace throwing something at Artest , Pistons fan John Green threw a cup of Diet Coke at Artest , hitting him . Artest jumped into the front - row seats and confronted a man he incorrectly believed to be responsible , which in turn erupted into a brawl between Pistons fans and several of the Pacers . Artest returned to the basketball court , and punched Pistons fan A.J. Shackleford , who was apparently taunting Artest verbally . This fight resulted in the game being stopped with less than a minute remaining .

Gandhi was written by John Briley and produced and directed by Richard Attenborough . It stars Ben Kingsley in the title role . The film covers Gandhi 's life from a defining moment in 1893 , as he is thrown off a South African train for being in a whites - only compartment , and concludes with his assassination and funeral in 1948 .

Gandhi was released in India on 30 November 1982 , in the United Kingdom on 3 December , and in the United States on 10 December .

There is no way to give each year its allotted weight , to include each event , each person who helped to shape a lifetime . What can be done is to be faithful in spirit to the record and to try to find one 's way to the heart of the man ... The film begins on the day of Gandhi 's assassination on 30 January 1948 . After an evening prayer , an elderly Gandhi is helped out for his evening walk to meet a large number of greeters and admirers . One of these visitors , Nathuram Godse , shoots him point blank in the chest . Gandhi exclaims , `` Oh , God ! '' , and then falls dead . The film then cuts to a huge procession at his funeral , which is attended by dignitaries from around the world . The early life of Gandhi is not depicted in the film . Instead , the story flashes back 55 years to a life - changing event : in 1893 , the 23 - year - old Gandhi is thrown off a South African train for being an Indian sitting in a first - class compartment despite having a first - class ticket . Realising the laws are biased against Indians , he then decides to start a nonviolent protest campaign for the rights of all Indians in South Africa . After numerous arrests and unwelcome international attention , the government finally relents by recognising some rights for Indians . In 1915 , as a result of his victory in South Africa , Gandhi is invited back to India , where he is now considered something of a national hero . He is urged to take up the fight for India 's independence , ( Swaraj , Quit India ) from the British Empire . Gandhi agrees , and mounts a nonviolent non-cooperation campaign of unprecedented scale , coordinating millions of Indians nationwide . There are some setbacks , such as violence against the protesters and Gandhi 's occasional imprisonment . The 1919 Jallianwala Bagh massacre is also depicted in the film . Nevertheless , the campaign generates great attention , and Britain faces intense public pressure . In 1930 , Gandhi protests against the British - imposed salt tax via the highly symbolic Salt March . He also travels to London for a conference concerning Britain 's possible departure from India ; this , however , proves fruitless . After the Second World War , Britain finally grants Indian independence . Indians celebrate this victory , but their troubles are far from over . The country is subsequently divided by religion . It is decided that the northwest area and the eastern part of India ( current - day Bangladesh ) , both places where Muslims are in the majority , will become a new country called Pakistan . It is hoped that by encouraging the Muslims to live in a separate country , violence will abate . Gandhi is opposed to the idea , and is even willing to allow Muhammad Ali Jinnah to become the first prime minister of India , but the Partition of India is carried out nevertheless . Religious tensions between Hindus and Muslims erupt into nationwide violence . Horrified , Gandhi declares a hunger strike , saying he will not eat until the fighting stops . The fighting does stop eventually . Gandhi spends his last days trying to bring about peace between both nations . He thereby angers many dissidents on both sides , one of whom ( Godse ) is involved in a conspiracy to assassinate him . As Godse shoots Gandhi in a scene recalling the opening , the film cuts to black and Gandhi is heard in a voiceover , saying `` Oh , God ! '' The audience then sees Gandhi 's cremation ; the film ending with a scene of Gandhi 's ashes being scattered on the holy Ganga . As this happens , viewers hear Gandhi in another voiceover from earlier in the film : `` When I despair , I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won . There have been tyrants and murderers , and for a time they can seem invincible , but in the end they always fall . Think of it . Always . '' As the list of actors is seen at the end , the hymns `` Vaishnava Jana To '' and `` Raghupati Raghava Raja Ram '' are heard .

In 1952 , Gabriel Pascal secured an agreement with the Prime Minister of India ( Pandit Nehru ) to produce a film of Gandhi 's life . However , Pascal died in 1954 before preparations were completed . In 1962 Attenborough was contacted by Motilal Kothari , an Indian - born civil servant working with the Indian High Commission in London and a devout follower of Gandhi . Kothari insisted that Attenborough meet him to discuss a film about Gandhi . Attenborough agreed , after reading Louis Fischer 's biography of Gandhi and spent the next 18 years attempting to get the film made . He was able to meet prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru and his daughter Indira Gandhi through a connection with Lord Louis Mountbatten , the last Viceroy of India . Nehru approved of the film and promised to help support its production , but his death in 1964 was one of the film 's many setbacks . Attenborough would dedicate the film to the memory of Kothari , Mountbatten , and Nehru . David Lean and Sam Spiegel had planned to make a film about Gandhi after completing The Bridge on the River Kwai , reportedly with Alec Guinness as Gandhi . Ultimately , the project was abandoned in favour of Lawrence of Arabia ( 1962 ) . Attenborough reluctantly approached Lean with his own Gandhi project in the late 1960s , and Lean agreed to direct the film and offered Attenborough the lead role . Instead Lean began filming Ryan 's Daughter , during which time Motilai Kothari had died and the project fell apart . Attenborough again attempted to resurrect the project in 1976 with backing from Warner Brothers . Then prime minister Indira Gandhi declared a state of emergency in India and shooting would be impossible . Co-producer Rani Dube persuaded prime minister Indira Gandhi to provide the first $10 million from the National Film Development Corporation of India , chaired by D.V.S. Raju at that time , on the back of which the remainder of the funding was finally raised. Finally in 1980 Attenborough was able to secure the remainder of the funding needed to make the film . Screenwriter John Briley had introduced him to Jake Eberts , the chief executive at the new Goldcrest production company that raised approximately two - thirds of the film 's budget . Shooting began on 26 November 1980 and ended on 10 May 1981 . Over 300,000 extras were used in the funeral scene , the most for any film according to Guinness World Records . Casting ( edit ) During pre-production , there was much speculation as to who would play the role of Gandhi . The choice was Ben Kingsley , who is partly of Indian heritage ( his father was Gujarati and his birth name is Krishna Bhanji ) . Release and reception ( edit ) Gandhi premiered in New Delhi , India on 30 November 1982 . Two days later , on 2 December , it had a Royal Premiere at the Odeon Leicester Square in London in the presence of Prince Charles and Princess Diana . The film had a limited release in the US on 8 December 1982 , followed by a wider release in January 1983 . Box Office performance ( edit ) Gandhi grossed a total of $52.7 million in North America and became the 12th - highest - grossing film of 1982 there . Audiences around the world loved the film and went on to see it several times helping the film to generate more income . In India in particular , it was one of the highest - grossing films of all - time ( and the highest for a foreign film ) during the time of its release by earning over ₹ 100 crore or 1 billion rupees . At today 's exchange rate , that amount to $14.9 million , still making it one of the highest - grossing Hollywood / imported film in the country . It was shown tax free in Bombay ( known as Mumbai since 1995 ) and Delhi . Critical response ( edit ) Reviews were broadly positive not only domestically ( in India ) but also internationally . The film was discussed or reviewed in Newsweek , Time , the Washington Post , The Public Historian , Cross Currents , The Journal of Asian Studies , Film Quarterly , The Progressive , The Christian Century and elsewhere . Ben Kingsley 's performance was especially praised . Among the few who took a more negative view of the film , historian Lawrence James called it `` pure hagiography '' while anthropologist Akhil Gupta said it `` suffers from tepid direction and a superficial and misleading interpretation of history . '' The film was also criticised by some right - wing commentators who objected to the film 's advocacy of nonviolence , including Pat Buchanan , Emmett Tyrrell , and especially Richard Grenier . In Time , Richard Schickel wrote that in portraying Gandhi 's `` spiritual presence ... Kingsley is nothing short of astonishing . '' A `` singular virtue '' of the film is that `` its title figure is also a character in the usual dramatic sense of the term . '' Schickel viewed Attenborough 's directorial style as having `` a conventional handsomeness that is more predictable than enlivening , '' but this `` stylistic self - denial serves to keep one 's attention fastened where it belongs : on a persuasive , if perhaps debatable vision of Gandhi 's spirit , and on the remarkable actor who has caught its light in all its seasons . '' Roger Ebert gave the film four - stars and called it a `` remarkable experience '' , and placed it 5th on his 10 best films of 1983 . In Newsweek , Jack Kroll stated that `` There are very few movies that absolutely must be seen . Sir Richard Attenborough 's Gandhi is one of them . '' The movie `` deals with a subject of great importance ... with a mixture of high intelligence and immediate emotional impact ... ( and ) Ben Kingsley ... gives what is possibly the most astonishing biographical performance in screen history . '' Kroll stated that the screenplay 's `` least persuasive characters are Gandhi 's Western allies and acolytes '' such as an English cleric and an American journalist , but that `` Attenborough 's ' old - fashioned ' style is exactly right for the no - tricks , no - phony - psychologizing quality he wants . '' Furthermore , Attenborough mounts a powerful challenge to his audience by presenting Gandhi as the most profound and effective of revolutionaries , creating out of a fierce personal discipline a chain reaction that led to tremendous historical consequences . At a time of deep political unrest , economic dislocation and nuclear anxiety , seeing `` Gandhi '' is an experience that will change many minds and hearts . According to the Museum of Broadcast Communications there was `` a cycle of film and television productions which emerged during the first half of the 1980s , which seemed to indicate Britain 's growing preoccupation with India , Empire and a particular aspect of British cultural history '' . In addition to Gandhi , this cycle also included Heat and Dust ( 1983 ) , Octopussy ( 1983 ) , The Jewel in the Crown ( 1984 ) , The Far Pavilions ( 1984 ) and A Passage to India ( 1984 ) . The film holds an 87 % rating on website Rotten Tomatoes based on 52 reviews collected with an average score of 8 / 10 . Its critics ' consensus reads : `` Director Richard Attenborough is typically sympathetic and sure - handed , but it 's Ben Kingsley 's magnetic performance that acts as the linchpin for this sprawling , lengthy biopic . '' CinemaScore reported that audiences gave the film a rare `` A + '' grade . In 2010 , the Independent Film & Television Alliance selected the film as one of the 30 Most Significant Independent Films of the last 30 years Other negative reviews were from Patrick French who wrote the following in his book India : A Portrait `` An important origin of one myth about Gandhi was Richard Attenborough 's 1982 film . Take the episode when the newly arrived Gandhi is ejected from a first - class railway carriage at Pietermaritzburg after a white passenger objects to sharing space with a `` coolie '' ( an Indian indentured labourer ) . In fact , Gandhi 's demand to be allowed to travel first - class was accepted by the railway company . Rather than marking the start of a campaign against racial oppression , as legend has it , this episode was the start of a campaign to extend racial segregation in South Africa . Gandhi was adamant that `` respectable Indians '' should not be obliged to use the same facilities as `` raw Kaffirs '' . He petitioned the authorities in the port city of Durban , where he practised law , to end the indignity of making Indians use the same entrance to the post office as blacks , and counted it a victory when three doors were introduced : one for Europeans , one for Asiatics and one for Natives . '' Richard Grenier in his 1983 article , The Gandhi Nobody Knows , which was also the title of the book of the same name and topic , also criticised the film , arguing it misportrayed him as a `` saint '' . He also alleged the Indian government admitted to financing about a third of the film 's budget . Grenier 's book later became an inspiration for G.B. Singh 's book Gandhi : Behind the Mask of Divinity . Parts of the book also discuss the film negatively . G.B. Singh , a long term critic of Gandhi , also went on to co-author Gandhi Under Cross Examination with Timothy Watson ( also known as Timothy Spearman ) . In the DVD edition of the 1998 film Jinnah , the director 's commentary of the film makes mention of the 1982 film . In the commentary , both Sir Christopher Lee , who portrayed the older Muhammed Ali Jinnah , and director Jamil Dehlavi criticised the film Gandhi for it 's portrayal of Jinnah , arguing it to be demonising and historically inaccurate .

I will not support it , but I do not intend to take advantage of their danger '' ( p. 146 ) . Second , after war is underway ( as indicated by a newspaper headline ) , Gandhi is prevented by the British from speaking when he says he will `` speak against war '' ( p. 147 ) ; Kasturba then tells the British : `` If you take my husband , I intend to speak in his place '' ( p. 147 ) , although she too is prevented from speaking .

-3079499890630499175	History of the web browser	History of the web browser - Wikipedia History of the web browser For the `` history '' feature found in most web browsers , see Web browsing history . A web browser is a software application for retrieving , presenting and traversing information resources on the World Wide Web . It further provides for the capture or input of information which may be returned to the presenting system , then stored or processed as necessary . The method of accessing a particular page or content is achieved by entering its address , known as a Uniform Resource Identifier or URI . This may be a web page , image , video , or other piece of content . Hyperlinks present in resources enable users easily to navigate their browsers to related resources . A web browser can also be defined as an application software or program designed to enable users to access , retrieve and view documents and other resources on the Internet . Precursors to the web browser emerged in the form of hyperlinked applications during the mid and late 1980s , and following these , Tim Berners - Lee is credited with developing in 1990 both the first web server , and the first web browser , called WorldWideWeb ( no spaces ) and later renamed Nexus . Many others were soon developed , with Marc Andreessen 's 1993 Mosaic ( later Netscape ) , being particularly easy to use and install , and often credited with sparking the internet boom of the 1990s . Today , the major web browsers are Chrome , Safari , Internet Explorer , Firefox , and Edge . The explosion in popularity of the Web was triggered in September 1993 by NCSA Mosaic , a graphical browser which eventually ran on several popular office and home computers . This was the first web browser aiming to bring multimedia content to non-technical users , and therefore included images and text on the same page , unlike previous browser designs ; its founder , Marc Andreessen , also established the company that in 1994 , released Netscape Navigator , which resulted in one of the early browser wars , when it ended up in a competition for dominance ( which it lost ) with Microsoft 's Internet Explorer ( for Windows ) . Contents 1 Precursors 2 Early 1990s : WWW browsers 3 Late 1990s : Microsoft vs Netscape 4 2000s 5 Relationships of browsers 6 Web browsers by year 7 Historical web browsers 8 See also 9 References 10 External links Precursors ( edit ) In 1984 , expanding on ideas from futurist Ted Nelson , Neil Larson 's commercial DOS Maxthink outline program added angle bracket hypertext jumps ( adopted by later web browsers ) to and from ASCII , batch , and other Maxthink files up to 32 levels deep . In 1986 , he released his DOS Houdini network browser program that supported 2500 topics cross-connected with 7500 links in each file along with hypertext links among unlimited numbers of external ASCII , batch , and other Houdini files , these capabilities were included in his then popular shareware DOS file browser programs HyperRez ( memory resident ) and PC Hypertext ( which also added jumps to programs , editors , graphic files containing hot spots jumps , and cross-linked thesaurus / glossary files ) . These programs introduced many to the browser concept and 20 years later , Google still lists 3,000,000 references to PC Hypertext . In 1989 , he created both HyperBBS and HyperLan which both allow multiple users to create / edit both topics and jumps for information and knowledge annealing which , in concept , the columnist John C. Dvorak says pre-dated Wiki by many years . From 1987 on , he also created TransText ( hypertext word processor ) and many utilities for rapidly building large scale knowledge systems ... and in 1989 , helped produce for one of the big eight accounting firms a comprehensive knowledge system of integrating all accounting laws / regulations into a CDROM containing 50,000 files with 200,000 hypertext jumps . Additionally , the Lynx ( a very early web - based browser ) development history notes their project origin was based on the browser concepts from Neil Larson and Maxthink . In 1989 , he declined joining the Mosaic browser team with his preference for knowledge / wisdom creation over distributing information ... a problem he says is still not solved by today 's internet . Another early browser , Silversmith , was created by John Bottoms in 1987 . The browser , based on SGML tags , used a tag set from the Electronic Document Project of the AAP with minor modifications and was sold to a number of early adopters . At the time SGML was used exclusively for the formatting of printed documents . The use of SGML for electronically displayed documents signaled a shift in electronic publishing and was met with considerable resistance . Silversmith included an integrated indexer , full text searches , hypertext links between images text and sound using SGML tags and a return stack for use with hypertext links . It included features that are still not available in today 's browsers . These include capabilities such as the ability to restrict searches within document structures , searches on indexed documents using wild cards and the ability to search on tag attribute values and attribute names . Starting in 1988 , Peter Scott and Earle Fogel expanded the earlier HyperRez concept in creating Hytelnet which added jumps to telnet sites ... and which by 1990 offered users instant logon and access to the online catalogs of over 5000 libraries around the world . The strength of Hytelnet was speed and simplicity in link creation / execution at the expense of a centralized worldwide source for adding , indexing , and modifying telnet links . This problem was solved by the invention of the web server . The NeXT Computer which Berners - Lee used as the first web server In April 1990 , a draft patent application for a mass market consumer device for browsing pages via links `` PageLink '' was proposed by Craig Cockburn at Digital Equipment Corporation ( DEC ) whilst working in their Networking and Communications division in Reading , England . This application for a keyboardless touch screen browser for consumers also makes reference to `` navigating and searching text '' and `` bookmarks '' was aimed at ( quotes paraphrased ) `` replacing books '' , `` storing a shopping list '' `` have an updated personalised newspaper updated round the clock '' , `` dynamically updated maps for use in a car '' and suggests such a device could have a `` profound effect on the advertising industry '' . The patent was canned by Digital as too futuristic and , being largely hardware based , had obstacles to market that purely software driven approaches did not suffer from . Early 1990s : WWW browsers ( edit ) A graph showing the market share of Unix vs Windows browsers The first web browser , WorldWideWeb , was developed in 1990 by Tim Berners - Lee for the NeXT Computer ( at the same time as the first web server for the same machine ) and introduced to his colleagues at CERN in March 1991 . Berners - Lee recruited Nicola Pellow , a math student intern working at CERN , to write the Line Mode Browser a cross-platform web browser that displayed web - pages on old terminals and was released in May 1991 . Nicola Pellow and Tim Berners - Lee in their office at CERN . In 1992 , Tony Johnson released the MidasWWW browser . Based on Motif / X , MidasWWW allowed viewing of PostScript files on the Web from Unix and VMS , and even handled compressed PostScript . Another early popular Web browser was ViolaWWW , which was modeled after HyperCard . In the same year the Lynx browser was announced -- the only one of these early projects still being maintained and supported today . Erwise was the first browser with a graphical user interface , developed as a student project at Helsinki University of Technology and released in April 1992 , but discontinued in 1994 . Thomas R. Bruce of the Legal Information Institute at Cornell Law School started 1992 , to develop Cello . When released on 8 June 1993 it was one of the first graphical web browsers , and the first to run on Windows : Windows 3.1 , NT 3.5 , and OS / 2 . However , the explosion in popularity of the Web was triggered by NCSA Mosaic which was a graphical browser running originally on Unix and soon ported to the Amiga and VMS platforms , and later the Apple Macintosh and Microsoft Windows platforms . Version 1.0 was released in September 1993 , and was dubbed the killer application of the Internet . It was the first web browser to display images inline with the document 's text . Prior browsers would display an icon that , when clicked , would download and open the graphic file in a helper application . This was an intentional design decision on both parts , as the graphics support in early browsers was intended for displaying charts and graphs associated with technical papers while the user scrolled to read the text , while Mosaic was trying to bring multimedia content to non-technical users . Mosaic and browsers derived from it had a user option to automatically display images inline or to show an icon for opening in external programs . Marc Andreessen , who was the leader of the Mosaic team at NCSA , quit to form a company that would later be known as Netscape Communications Corporation . Netscape released its flagship Navigator product in October 1994 , and it took off the next year . IBM presented its own Web Explorer with OS / 2 Warp in 1994 . UdiWWW was the first web browser that was able to handle all HTML 3 features with the math tags released 1995 . Following the release of version 1.2 in April 1996 , Bernd Richter ceased development , stating `` let Microsoft with the ActiveX Development Kit do the rest . '' Microsoft , which had thus far not marketed a browser , finally entered the fray with its Internet Explorer product ( version 1.0 was released 16 August 1995 ) , purchased from Spyglass , Inc . This began what is known as the `` browser wars '' in which Microsoft and Netscape competed for the Web browser market . Early web users were free to choose among the handful of web browsers available , just as they would choose any other application -- web standards would ensure their experience remained largely the same . The browser wars put the Web in the hands of millions of ordinary PC users , but showed how commercialization of the Web could stymie standards efforts . Both Microsoft and Netscape liberally incorporated proprietary extensions to HTML in their products , and tried to gain an edge by product differentiation , leading to a web by the late 1990s where only Microsoft or Netscape browsers were viable contenders . In a victory for a standardized web , Cascading Style Sheets , proposed by Håkon Wium Lie , were accepted over Netscape 's JavaScript Style Sheets ( JSSS ) by W3C . Late 1990s : Microsoft vs Netscape ( edit ) In 1996 , Netscape 's share of the browser market reached 86 % ( with Internet Explorer edging up 10 % ) ; but then Microsoft began integrating its browser with its operating system and bundling deals with OEMs . Within 4 years of its release IE had 75 % of the browser market and by 1999 it had 99 % of the market . Although Microsoft has since faced antitrust litigation on these charges , the browser wars effectively ended once it was clear that Netscape 's declining market share trend was irreversible . Prior to the release of Mac OS X , Internet Explorer for Mac and Netscape were also the primary browsers in use on the Macintosh platform . Unable to continue commercially funding their product 's development , Netscape responded by open sourcing its product , creating Mozilla . This helped the browser maintain its technical edge over Internet Explorer , but did not slow Netscape 's declining market share . Netscape was purchased by America Online in late 1998 . 2000s ( edit ) This section needs to be updated . Please update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information . ( October 2017 ) At first , the Mozilla project struggled to attract developers , but by 2002 , it had evolved into a relatively stable and powerful internet suite . Mozilla 1.0 was released to mark this milestone . Also in 2002 , a spinoff project that would eventually become the popular Firefox was released . Firefox was always downloadable for free from the start , as was its predecessor , the Mozilla browser . Firefox 's business model , unlike the business model of 1990s Netscape , primarily consists of doing deals with search engines such as Google to direct users towards them -- see Web browser # Business models . In 2003 , Microsoft announced that Internet Explorer would no longer be made available as a separate product but would be part of the evolution of its Windows platform , and that no more releases for the Macintosh would be made . AOL announced that it would retire support and development of the Netscape web browser in February 2008 . In the second half of 2004 , Internet Explorer reached a peak market share of more than 92 % . Since then , its market share has been slowly but steadily declining and is around 11.8 % as of July 2013 . In early 2005 , Microsoft reversed its decision to release Internet Explorer as part of Windows , announcing that a standalone version of Internet Explorer was under development . Internet Explorer 7 was released for Windows XP , Windows Server 2003 , and Windows Vista in October 2006 . Internet Explorer 8 was released on 19 March 2009 , for Windows XP , Windows Server 2003 , Windows Vista , Windows Server 2008 , and Windows 7 . Internet Explorer 9 , 10 and 11 were later released , and version 11 is included in Windows 10 , but Microsoft Edge became the default browser there . Apple 's Safari , the default browser on Mac OS X from version 10.3 onwards , has grown to dominate browsing on Mac OS X . Browsers such as Firefox , Camino , Google Chrome , and OmniWeb are alternative browsers for Mac systems . OmniWeb and Google Chrome , like Safari , use the WebKit rendering engine ( forked from KHTML ) , which is packaged by Apple as a framework for use by third - party applications . In August 2007 , Apple also ported Safari for use on the Windows XP and Vista operating systems . Opera was first released in 1996 . It was a popular choice in handheld devices , particularly mobile phones , but remains a niche player in the PC Web browser market . It was also available on Nintendo 's DS , DS Lite and Wii consoles . The Opera Mini browser uses the Presto layout engine like all versions of Opera , but runs on most phones supporting Java MIDlets . The Lynx browser remains popular for Unix shell users and with vision impaired users due to its entirely text - based nature . There are also several text - mode browsers with advanced features , such as w3m , Links ( which can operate both in text and graphical mode ) , and the Links forks such as ELinks . Relationships of browsers ( edit ) A number of web browsers have been derived and branched from source code of earlier versions and products . Web browsers by year ( edit ) A rough estimate of usage share by percent of layout engines of web browsers as of Q2 2009 , see usage share of web browsers . See also : Timeline of web browsers This is a table of personal computer web browsers by year of release of major version . The increased growth of the Internet in the 1990s and 2000s means that current browsers with small market shares have more total users than the entire market early on . For example , 90 % market share in 1997 would be roughly 60 million users , but by the start of 2007 9 % market share would equate to over 90 million users .

The year listed for a version is usually the year of the first official release , with an end year being end of development , project change , or relevant termination . Releases of OS and browser from the early 1990s to before 2001 -- 02 time frame are the current focus . Many early browsers can be made to run on later OS ( and later browsers on early OS in some cases ) ; however , most of these situations are avoided in the table . Terms are defined below .

About Wikipedia	which early browser was the first to run on multiple computer platforms including windows	[ "However, the explosion in popularity of the Web was triggered by NCSA Mosaic which was a graphical browser running originally on Unix and soon ported to the Amiga and VMS platforms, and later the Apple Macintosh and Microsoft Windows platforms. Version 1.0 was released in September 1993,[6] and was dubbed the killer application of the Internet. It was the first web browser to display images inline with the document's text.[7] Prior browsers would display an icon that, when clicked, would download and open the graphic file in a helper application. This was an intentional design decision on both parts, as the graphics support in early browsers was intended for displaying charts and graphs associated with technical papers while the user scrolled to read the text, while Mosaic was trying to bring multimedia content to non-technical users. Mosaic and browsers derived from it had a user option to automatically display images inline or to show an icon for opening in external programs. Marc Andreessen, who was the leader of the Mosaic team at NCSA, quit to form a company that would later be known as Netscape Communications Corporation. Netscape released its flagship Navigator product in October 1994, and it took off the next year.\n" ]	[ "NCSA Mosaic" ]

Bottom row , L-R : John Schuerholz and Bud Selig Elections to the Baseball Hall of Fame for 2017 proceeded according to rules most recently amended in 2016 . As in the past , the Baseball Writers ' Association of America ( BBWAA ) voted by mail to select from a ballot of recently retired players , with results announced on January 18 , 2017 . The BBWAA elected Jeff Bagwell , Tim Raines , and Iván Rodríguez to the Hall of Fame . The three voting panels that replaced the more broadly defined Veterans Committee following a July 2010 rules change were replaced by a new set of four panels in July 2016 . The newly created Today 's Game Committee convened early in December 2016 to select from a ballot of retired players and non-playing personnel who made their greatest contributions to the sport after 1987 . John Schuerholz and Bud Selig were elected by this committee . Contents ( hide ) 1 BBWAA election 2 Today 's Game Committee 3 J.G. Taylor Spink Award 4 Ford C. Frick Award 5 Buck O'Neil Lifetime Achievement Award 6 Notes and references 7 External links BBWAA election ( edit ) On July 26 , 2014 , the Hall announced changes to the rules for election for recently retired players , reducing the number of years a player will be eligible to be on the ballot from fifteen years to ten . One candidate presently on the BBWAA ballot ( Lee Smith ) in years 10 - 15 was grandfathered into this system and retained his previous 15 years of eligibility . In addition , BBWAA members who were otherwise eligible to cast ballots were required to complete a registration form and sign a code of conduct before receiving their ballots , and the Hall made public the names of all members who cast ballots ( but not their individual votes ) when it announced the election results . The code of conduct specifically states that the ballot is non-transferable , a direct reaction to Dan Le Batard turning his 2014 Hall of Fame ballot over to the sports website Deadspin and allowing the site 's readers to make his Hall votes ( an act that drew him a lifetime ban from future Hall voting ) . Violation of the code of conduct will result in a lifetime ban from BBWAA voting . A more recent rules change , announced on July 28 , 2015 , tightened the qualifications for the BBWAA electorate . Beginning with the 2016 election , eligible voters must not only have 10 years of continuous BBWAA membership , but also be currently active members , or have held active status within the 10 years prior to the election . A BBWAA member who has not been active for more than 10 years can regain voting status by covering MLB in the year preceding the election . As a result of the new rule , the vote total in 2016 decreased by 109 from the previous year , to 440 . The ballot included two categories of players : Candidates from the 2016 ballot who received at least 5 % of the vote but were not elected , as long as they first appeared on the BBWAA ballot no earlier than 2003 . Selected individuals , chosen by a screening committee , whose last MLB appearance was in 2011 . Players who were eligible for the first time who were not included on the ballot were : Josh Bard , Danys Báez , Milton Bradley , Russell Branyan , Juan Castro , Ramón Castro , Alex Cora , Craig Counsell , Jack Cust , Doug Davis , Adam Everett , Ryan Franklin , Ross Gload , Wes Helms , Mark Hendrickson , Scott Linebrink , Felipe López , Julio Lugo , Jason Michaels , Trever Miller , Corey Patterson , Joel Piñeiro , Dennys Reyes , Aaron Rowand , Marcus Thames , Brett Tomko , Javier Vázquez , and Chris Woodward . 442 ballots were cast , 2 more than in 2016 . Jeff Bagwell , Tim Raines and Iván Rodríguez were elected . Raines and Lee Smith were on the ballot for their final time ; Smith dropped off the ballot , while Raines was the fifth player to be elected in his final ballot , after Red Ruffing , Joe Medwick , Ralph Kiner , and Jim Rice . Rodríguez was elected in his first year of eligibility .

Eliminated from annual BBWAA consideration by poor performance or expiration on this ballot . † First time on the BBWAA ballot . * Eliminated from annual BBWAA consideration by poor performance on this ballot ( not expiration ) . Today 's Game committee ( edit ) On July 23 , 2016 , the Hall of Fame announced changes to the Era Committee system . The system 's timeframes were restructured to place a greater emphasis on the modern game , and to reduce the frequency at which individuals from the pre-1970 game ( including Negro Leagues figures ) will have their careers reviewed . Separate 16 - member subcommittees will continue to vote on individuals from different eras of baseball , with candidates still being classified by the time periods that cover their greatest contributions : Early Baseball ( 1871 -- 1949 ) Golden Days ( 1950 -- 1969 ) Modern Baseball ( 1970 -- 1987 ) Today 's Game ( 1988 and later ) All committees ' ballots will include 10 candidates . While there was previously a one - year waiting period after elimination from annual BBWAA consideration , there will now be no waiting period . At least one committee will convene every December , in the calendar year before the induction ceremony in July . The Early Baseball committee will convene only in years ending in 0 , and the Golden Days committee will convene in years ending in 0 and 5 . The Today 's Game and Modern Baseball committees will alternate their meetings in that order , skipping years in which the Golden Days and Early Baseball committees meet . Accordingly , the committees will meet in the following years as part of the elections for the next calendar year : Today 's Game -- 2016 , 2018 , 2021 , 2023 Modern Baseball -- 2017 , 2019 , 2022 , 2024 Golden Days -- 2020 , 2025 Early Baseball -- 2020 , 2030 Additionally , the Hall of Fame has modified the criteria for consideration of active executives . Previously , active executives 65 or older were eligible for consideration by era - based committees ; the lower age limit has now been raised to 70 . The new criteria explicitly state that for those who meet the age cutoff , neither their positions in an organization nor their currently active status will affect their election . On October 3 , 2016 , the Hall announced the 10 candidates to be considered when the Today 's Game Committee met at the 2016 winter meetings in National Harbor , Maryland on December 4 ; the voting results were announced immediately after the committee met . The cutoff for election and induction remained the standard 75 % , or 12 of 16 votes . The committee consisted of the following individuals : Hall of Famers : Roberto Alomar , Bobby Cox , Andre Dawson , Dennis Eckersley , Pat Gillick , Ozzie Smith , Don Sutton and Frank Thomas Executives : Paul Beeston , Bill DeWitt , David Glass , Andy MacPhail and Kevin Towers Media and historians : Bill Center , Steve Hirdt , and Tim Kurkjian Non-voting committee chair : Jane Forbes Clark ( Hall of Fame chairman ) Candidate Votes Percent Ref Schuerholz , John John Schuerholz Executive 16 100 % Selig , Bud Bud Selig Executive 15 93.75 % Piniella , Lou Lou Piniella Manager 7 43.75 % Baines , Harold Harold Baines Player < 5 Belle , Albert Albert Belle Player < 5 Clark , Will Will Clark Player < 5 Hershiser , Orel Orel Hershiser Player < 5 Johnson , Davey Davey Johnson Manager < 5 McGwire , Mark Mark McGwire Player < 5 Steinbrenner , George George Steinbrenner Executive < 5 All candidates except for Steinbrenner were alive when the ballot and the voting results were announced . J.G. Taylor Spink Award ( edit ) The J.G. Taylor Spink Award has been presented by the BBWAA at the annual summer induction ceremonies since 1962 . Through 2010 , it was awarded during the main induction ceremony , but is now given the previous day at the Hall of Fame Awards Presentation . It recognizes a sportswriter `` for meritorious contributions to baseball writing '' . The recipients are not members of the Hall of Fame but are featured in a permanent exhibit at the National Baseball Museum . The three finalists for the 2017 award were announced during the 2016 All - Star break . Jim Reeves Claire Smith Juan Vene On December 6 , during the 2016 winter meetings , Smith was named as the 2017 recipient . She received 272 of a possible 449 votes ( with three ballots left blank ) . At the time of announcement , Smith was ESPN 's news editor for remote production , with chief responsibility for incorporating news and analysis in the network 's MLB - related broadcasts , as well as SportsCenter . She became the first African - American woman , and the first woman of any ethnicity , to regularly cover MLB for a newspaper when she began covering the New York Yankees for The Hartford Courant in 1983 . Smith went from there to The New York Times and The Philadelphia Inquirer before joining ESPN . Ford C. Frick Award ( edit ) Various changes in July 2016 were also made to the annual Ford C. Frick Award elections , presented annually to a preeminent baseball broadcaster since 1978 . According to the Hall , the new criteria for selection are `` Commitment to excellence , quality of broadcasting abilities , reverence within the game , popularity with fans , and recognition by peers . '' Additionally , a ballot of eight candidates will now be set , down from 10 in years past . The three ballot slots previously determined by fan voting on Facebook will now be filled by a committee of historians . A new election cycle has been established , rotating annually between Current Major League Markets ( team - specific announcers ) with the 2017 Frick Award ; National Voices ( broadcasters whose contributions were realized on a national level ) with the 2018 Frick Award ; and Broadcasting Beginnings ( early team voices and pioneers of baseball broadcasting ) with the 2019 Frick Award . This cycle will repeat every three years . The Hall announced the ballot for the 2017 award on November 7 , 2016 , with voting to take place at the 2016 winter meetings on December 7 . On December 7 , it was announced that Bill King was the winner of the award . Gary Cohen Jacques Doucet Ken Harrelson Pat Hughes Bill King Mike Krukow Ned Martin Dewayne Staats At the time the ballot was announced , all candidates were living except King and Martin . Buck O'Neil lifetime Achievement Award ( edit ) Another Hall of Fame honor , the Buck O'Neil Lifetime Achievement Award , was also presented at the 2017 Awards Presentation . The award was created in 2008 in honor of Buck O'Neil , a Negro leagues star who went on to become one of baseball 's leading ambassadors until his death in 2006 . The first award was presented posthumously to O'Neil at the 2008 induction ceremony , and prior to 2017 had been presented two additional times . According to the Hall , The Buck O'Neil Lifetime Achievement Award is presented by the Hall of Fame 's Board of Directors not more than once every three years to honor an individual whose extraordinary efforts enhanced baseball 's positive impact on society , broadened the game 's appeal , and whose character , integrity and dignity are comparable to the qualities exhibited by O'Neil . As with the media awards , recipients are not members of the Hall of Fame but are permanently recognized by the Hall . In this case , the recipients are listed alongside a life - size statue of O'Neil that stands at the entrance to the museum . Written nominations for the award are accepted by mail at any time ; the nomination must specifically state how the nominee meets the traits exemplified by O'Neil . On May 25 , 2017 , the Hall announced that Rachel Robinson , widow of Hall of Famer Jackie Robinson , would be the 2017 recipient . Before Jackie 's passing in 1972 , the couple established the Jackie Robinson Development Corporation , which builds and manages affordable housing . The following year , she established the Jackie Robinson Foundation to provide college scholarships and leadership training . In announcing the award , Hall of Fame chair Jane Forbes Clark said , `` Rachel Robinson has worked tirelessly to raise the level of equality not only in baseball , but throughout society .

She has an ongoing argument with Evan over whether or not to have their son circumcised . During labor , she chooses not to have an epidural . She gives birth to a daughter they name Emerson , ending their debate . After giving birth , Jules and Evan get engaged .

Holly sends Alex to hang out with the `` dudes group '' , a group of fathers who walk around the park and support one another , which was founded by Vic Mac ( Chris Rock ) . Alex feels even more nervous to become a father . Holly loses her job and becomes hurt when she realizes how much Alex is unprepared for a child . However , they eventually go to Ethiopia and adopt a baby boy named Kaleb . Wendy Cooper ( Elizabeth Banks ) runs a breast feeding boutique called The Breast Choice , and has been trying to have a baby with her husband Gary ( Ben Falcone ) for two years . She eventually does conceive and shares the news with Gary after taking five pregnancy tests . Having planned a magical and happy pregnancy , Wendy feels awful throughout it and , during a convention she was chosen to speak at about the miracle of childbirth , she begins to break down and bursts out into a speech about how much the process sucks . Her outburst is filmed and becomes a viral hit on YouTube , after which her boutique is flooded with customers . After many labor - inducing activities , she goes to the hospital only to find out she has to have a cesarean section , which is against her birth plan . She loses a lot of blood , but is okay and delivers a son named Theo . Ramsey Cooper ( Dennis Quaid ) , a famous race car driver and Gary 's father , is married to a younger woman named Skyler ( Brooklyn Decker ) . During a lunch where Wendy and Gary announce her pregnancy , Ramsey and Skyler also announce they are expecting . Unlike Wendy , Skyler cruises through her pregnancy without issues . Wendy envies her and detests her ease ; however , soon after Skyler gives birth to twin girls , she and Ramsey are shown struggling with the fussy babies . Rosie Brennan ( Anna Kendrick ) , Skyler 's cousin and food - truck chef , meets an old high school friend , Marco ( Chace Crawford ) , also a food - truck chef , during a turf war between their food trucks . She believes he is a player and initially blows him off , but the reunion leads to an unexpected pregnancy after having sex that night . Worried at first , they eventually adjust to the idea of becoming parents and move in together . However , one night Rosie discovers she is bleeding and they drive to the hospital where they discover she has miscarried . Devastated , Rosie tells Marco to leave , which he does , but he makes several attempts to get back with her . Eventually , they get back together and decide to take things slowly and their story ends with them joining forces to create a food truck together .

Written by Heidi Murkoff , What to Expect When You 're Expecting is a pregnancy guide released in 1984 . It is a top - selling book on The New York Times Best Seller list and is considered one of the most influential books of the past twenty - five years . Additionally , it was dubbed `` the bible of American pregnancy '' and has sold over 20 million units worldwide . On January 14 , 2010 , it was announced that Lionsgate had acquired the book 's worldwide distribution rights from Phoenix Pictures . Heather Hach , who was nine months pregnant at the time , was hired to write the film 's screenplay `` based on her pitch '' , which would follow the story of seven couples who experience the `` ups and downs '' of preparing for parenthood . David Thwaites produced it alongside Mike Medavoy and Arnie Messer . Alli Shearmur , Lionsgate 's President of Motion Picture Productions , said the book is `` a brand that knows no boundaries '' and they were `` excited about this film as the first in a potential franchise '' . Murkoff said she was excited to see Phoenix Pictures and Lionsgate `` bring my baby to life '' . Medavoy , Messer and Thwaites felt that the book provides the `` perfect launching point '' to tell a funny story . Pre-production ( edit ) Kirk Jones directed the film . Jones had n't read or heard about the book , and assumed it was a novel before receiving the script . However , he then discovered that it was in fact a pregnancy guide . Although puzzled at first , he recalled his pregnancy experience as `` funny , tragic , exciting '' and `` hilarious '' , and thought combining these elements would make for a `` really interesting '' film . Speaking about the film 's theme , he stated that `` everybody 's experience is different '' and multiple different stories `` allow the audience to share in everything that is going on '' and `` by sharing in what 's going on and seeing so many characters , there 's this energy , and there 's humor and there 's drama in comparing all of the stories , which are taking place at the same time '' . What to Expect When You 're Expecting stars an ensemble cast , which focuses primarily on the five couples who are going to be first - time parents . According to Access Atlanta , the project also needed `` a lot of extras who are in the family way '' as well as `` babies with star potential '' . An open casting call was held on July 9 , 2011 . Casting director Christopher Gray said at the time , `` We need a lot of pregnant women . We want the real deal '' . The movie also featured a number of Ethiopians , for which a casting call was issued as well . Additionally , film contains cameos by various celebrities . This includes Dwyane Wade , Whitney Port , Megan Mullally , and Cheryl Cole , Taboo and Tyce Diorio , who star as themselves as judges on a TV dance talent show . Filming ( edit ) The film began principal photography in Atlanta on July 19 , 2011 . On July 26 , production filmed in Midtown on Peachtree Street near High Museum and in Piedmont Park . Jones said it was `` tough '' organizing schedules because of the number of cast members there were . Having never `` shot five simultaneous stories like this '' , he stated : `` Through necessity we had to schedule the film so that I shot everything with Jennifer Lopez in two weeks , everything with Cameron Diaz in two weeks ... because they are not available to keep flying in from another continent for two days work and then flying back again '' . Music ( edit ) Mark Mothersbaugh scored the music for the film and on its soundtrack . The film 's score was composed by Mark Mothersbaugh . The soundtrack also contains `` Dance ( Disco Heat ) '' performed by Sylvester , `` Nobody '' performed by Ne - Yo , `` Shivas Regal ( Theme For Gypsy ) '' performed by Sonny Lester & His Orchestra , `` Oye Como Va '' performed by Kinky , `` Happening '' performed by Chiddy Bang , `` Kellerman 's Anthem '' performed by Emile Bergstein Chorale , `` Get Me Golden '' performed by Terraplane Sun , `` Home '' performed by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros , `` Do n't Let Your Feet Touch Ground '' performed by Ash Koley , `` Weightless '' performed by Natasha Bedingfield , `` Forever Love '' performed by Alex Ebert , `` Hypnotize '' performed by The Notorious B.I.G. , `` Comin ' Home Baby '' performed by Mel Tormé , `` Forgetting '' performed by David Gray , `` Never Gonna Stop '' performed by The So Manys , `` Inside Out '' performed by Nire ' AllDai , `` Waiting On The Light To Change '' performed by Matthew Perryman Jones , `` Addicted To Love '' performed by Robert Palmer , `` Modern Art '' performed by Black Lips , `` Do n't You Want Me '' performed by Phil Oakey , Philip Adrian Wright and Jo Callis , `` Do What You Want '' performed by Daphne Willis , `` Broken Sky '' performed by Rob Laufer , `` Why Do n't We Get Drunk '' performed by Jimmy Buffett , `` Put Your Hands Up '' performed by The MIDI Mafia , `` Samba Vocalizado '' performed by Luciano Perrone , `` Get It Daddy '' performed by Sleeper Agent , `` Now Is The Start '' performed by Alison Sudol , `` The Hormone Song '' performed by Elizabeth Banks and `` Big Poppa '' performed by Ernie Isley , Marvin Isley , O'Kelly Isley , Jr. , Ronald Isley , Rudolph Isley , Chris Jasper and The Notorious B.I.G. .

Home Media ( edit ) What to Expect When You 're Expecting was released on DVD and Blu - ray on September 11 , 2012 by Lionsgate Home Entertainment . Reception ( edit ) Box Office ( edit ) What to Expect When You 're Expecting debuted at No. 5 at the U.S. Box Office , grossing $10,547,068 during its opening weekend . By the end of May , the film grossed $26,293,359 in the United States . In total , What to Expect When You 're Expecting grossed $41.2 million domestically , for a worldwide gross of $84.4 million . Critical response ( edit ) On Rotten Tomatoes , the film holds a rating of 22 % , based on 132 reviews , with the site 's critical consensus reading , `` The cast is stocked with likable performers , but What to Expect When You 're Expecting is too disjointed -- and too reliant on stock rom - com cliches -- to live up to its distinguished literary namesake . '' On Metacritic , the film has a score of 41 out of 100 , based on 30 critics , indicating `` mixed or average reviews '' . Cara Nash of the Australian film magazine Filmink gave the film a mixed review , criticizing the storyline as not having `` complexity '' or `` genuine conflict '' , but praised Lopez and Banks who `` manage to find the humanity in their clichéd roles but they ca n't transcend all the surface - level schmaltz on display here '' . Peter Travers of Rolling Stone gave the film a negative review , stating that `` the movie itself triggered the vomiting '' , but appreciated Rock , Kendrick and Crawford 's performances `` if you dramatically drop your expectations '' . Simon Miraudo of Quickflix called it `` ill - conceived '' and gave the film a mixed review while stating : `` Despite an immensely appealing cast and a few funny moments , I would only recommend What to Expect at a ' push ' . The eggs are there ; someone just forgot to fertilise them . '' Betsy Sharkey of the Los Angeles Times among other critics noted the confusion of the swiftly moving film , writing that `` Rather than the engaging enlightenment of the source , the film becomes bloated by confusion . '' New York Daily News gave the film 3 and a half stars , writing `` Thankfully the film , unlike being a parent , is a fairly smooth and entertaining ride that has a universal appeal to both parents and those who ever had a father or a mother '' , and named the scene in which Jennifer Lopez 's character travels to Ethiopia to meet the child she is adopting as the film 's most touching moment . The Guardian 's Mike McCahill described the movie as `` insight - deficient fluff '' .

When he refuses , she transforms him into a beast and his servants into household objects , and erases the castle from the memories of their loved ones . She casts a spell on the rose and warns the prince that the curse will never lift unless he learns to love another , and earn their love in return , before the last petal falls . Some years later , in the small town of Villeneuve , Belle dreams of adventure and brushes off advances from Gaston , an arrogant former soldier . Lost in the forest , Belle 's father Maurice seeks refuge in the Beast 's castle , but the Beast imprisons him for stealing a rose from his garden as a birthday gift to Belle . Belle ventures out in search for him , and finds him locked in the castle dungeon . The Beast agrees to let her take Maurice 's place . Belle befriends the castle 's servants , who invite her to a spectacular dinner . When she wanders into the forbidden west wing and finds the rose , the Beast , enraged , scares her into the woods . She is ambushed by a pack of wolves , but the Beast rescues her , and is injured in the process . As Belle nurses his wounds , a friendship develops between them . The Beast shows Belle a gift from the enchantress , a book that transports readers wherever they want . Belle uses it to visit her childhood home in Paris , where she discovers a plague doctor mask and realizes that she and her father were forced to leave her mother 's deathbed when her mother succumbed to the plague . In Villeneuve , Gaston sees rescuing Belle as an opportunity to win her hand in marriage , and agrees to help Maurice . When Maurice learns of his ulterior motive and rejects him , Gaston abandons him to the wolves . Maurice is rescued by the hermit Agathe , but when he tells the townsfolk of Gaston 's crime but is unable to provide solid evidence , Gaston convinces them to send Maurice to an insane asylum . After sharing a romantic dance with the Beast , Belle discovers her father 's predicament using a magic mirror . The Beast releases her to save Maurice , giving her the mirror to remember him with . At Villeneuve , Belle proves Maurice 's sanity by revealing the Beast in the mirror to the townsfolk . Realizing that Belle loves the Beast , Gaston has her thrown into the asylum carriage with her father , and rallies the villagers to follow him to the castle to slay the Beast . Maurice and Belle escape , and Belle rushes back to the castle . During the battle , Gaston abandons his companion LeFou , who then sides with the servants to fend off the villagers . Gaston attacks the Beast in his tower , who is too depressed to fight back , but regains his spirit upon seeing Belle return . He overpowers Gaston , but spares his life before reuniting with Belle . However , Gaston fatally shoots the Beast from a bridge , but it collapses when the castle crumbles , and he falls to his death . The Beast dies as the last petal falls , and the servants become inanimate . When Belle tearfully professes her love to him , Agathe reveals herself as the enchantress and undoes the curse , repairing the crumbling castle , and restoring the Beast 's and servants ' human forms and the villagers ' memories .

Production ( edit ) Development ( edit ) Previously , Disney had begun work on a film adaptation of the 1994 Broadway musical . However , in a 2011 interview , composer Alan Menken stated the planned film version of the Beauty and the Beast stage musical `` was canned '' . By April 2014 , Walt Disney Pictures had already begun developing a new live - action version and remake of Beauty and the Beast after making other live - action fantasy films such as Alice in Wonderland , Maleficent , Cinderella and The Jungle Book . In June 2014 , Bill Condon was signed to direct the film from a script by Evan Spiliotopoulos . Later in September of that same year , Stephen Chbosky ( who had previously directed Watson in The Perks of Being a Wallflower ) was hired to re-write the script . Before Condon was hired to direct the film , Disney approached him with a proposal to remake the film in a more radical way as Universal Studios had remade Snow White and the Huntsman ( 2012 ) . Condon later explained that `` after Frozen opened , the studio saw that there was this big international audience for an old - school - musical approach . But initially , they said , ' We 're interested in a musical to a degree , but only half full of songs . ' My interest was taking that film and doing it in this new medium -- live - action -- as a full - on musical movie . So I backed out for a minute , and they came back and said , ' No , no , no , we get it , let 's pursue it that way . ' '' Walt Disney Pictures president of production Sean Bailey credited Walt Disney Studios chairman Alan F. Horn with the decision to make the film as a musical : `` We worked on this for five or six years , and for 18 months to two years , Beauty was a serious dramatic project , and the scripts were written to reflect that . It was n't a musical at that time . But we just could n't get it to click and it was Alan Horn who championed the idea of owning the Disney of it all . We realized there was a competitive advantage in the songs . What is wrong with making adults feel like kids again ? '' Casting ( edit ) In January 2015 , Emma Watson announced that she would be starring as Belle , the female lead . She was the first choice of Walt Disney Studios chairman Alan F. Horn , as he had previously overseen Warner Bros. which released the eight Harry Potter films that co-starred Watson as Hermione Granger . Two months later , Luke Evans and Dan Stevens were revealed to be in talks to play Gaston and the Beast respectively , and Watson confirmed their casting the following day through tweets . The rest of the principal cast , including Josh Gad , Emma Thompson , Kevin Kline , Audra McDonald , Ian McKellen , Gugu Mbatha - Raw , Ewan McGregor and Stanley Tucci were announced between March and April to play LeFou , Mrs. Potts , Maurice , Madame de Garderobe , Cogsworth , Plumette , Lumière and Cadenza , respectively . Susan Egan originated the role of Belle on Broadway , commented on the casting of Watson as `` perfect '' . Paige O'Hara , who voiced Belle in the original animated film and its sequels , offered to help Watson with her singing lessons . According to The Hollywood Reporter , Emma Watson was reportedly paid $3 million upfront , together with an agreement that her final take - home pay could rise as high as $15 million if the film generated gross box office income similar to Maleficent 's $759 million worldwide gross . Filming ( edit ) Principal photography on the film began at Shepperton Studios in Surrey , United Kingdom , on May 18 , 2015 . Filming with the principal actors concluded on August 21 . Six days later , co-producer Jack Morrissey confirmed that the film had officially wrapped production . The Beast was portrayed with a `` more traditional motion capture puppeteering for the body and the physical orientation '' , where actor Dan Stevens was `` in a forty - pound gray suit on stilts for much of the film '' . The facial capture for the Beast was done separately in order to `` communicate the subtleties of the human face '' and `` ( capture the ) thought that occurs to him '' which gets `` through ( to ) the eyes , which are the last human element in the Beast . '' The castle servants who are transformed into household objects were created with CGI animation . Before the release of the film , Bill Condon refilmed one certain sequence in the `` Days of the Sun '' number , due to confusion among test audiences caused by actress Harriet Jones , who looked similar to Hattie Morahan , who portrayed Agathe . In the original version of the scene , it was Jones 's character , the Prince 's mother , who sings the first verse of the song , with Rudi Goodman playing the young Prince and Henry Garrett playing his father ; but in the reshot version of the scene , the singing part is given to the Prince ( now played by Adam Mitchell ) . The King was also recast to Tom Turner , although Harriet Jones was still the Queen , albeit with dark hair . Both Goodman and Garrett 's names were mistakenly featured in the original theatrical release 's credits , but was later corrected in home releases . Music ( edit ) Main article : Beauty and the Beast ( 2017 soundtrack ) When released in 1991 , Beauty and the Beast marked a turning point for Walt Disney Pictures by appealing to millions of fans with its Oscar - winning musical score by lyricist Howard Ashman and composer Alan Menken . In Bill Condon 's opinion , that original score was the key reason he agreed to direct a live - action version of the movie . `` That score had more to reveal '' , he says , `` You look at the songs and there 's not a clunker in the group . In fact , Frank Rich described it as the best Broadway musical of 1991 . The animated version was already darker and more modern than the previous Disney fairytales . Take that vision , put it into a new medium , make it a radical reinvention , something not just for the stage because it 's not just being literal , now other elements come into play . It 's not just having real actors do it '' . Condon initially prepared on only drawing inspiration from the original film , but he also planned to include most of the songs composed by Alan Menken , Howard Ashman and Tim Rice from the Broadway musical , with the intention of making the film as a `` straight - forward , live - action , large - budget movie musical '' . Menken returned to score the film 's music , which features songs from the original film by him and Howard Ashman , plus new material written by Menken and Tim Rice . Menken said the film will not include songs that were written for the Broadway musical and instead , created four new songs . However , an instrumental version of the song `` Home '' , which was written for the musical , is used during the scene where Belle first enters her room in the castle . On January 19 , 2017 , it was confirmed by both Disney and Céline Dion -- singer of the original 1991 Beauty and the Beast duet song , with singer Peabo Bryson -- that Dion would be performing one of the new original songs `` How Does a Moment Last Forever '' to play over the end titles . She originally had doubts about whether or not to record the song due to the recent death of her husband and manager René Angélil , who had previously helped her secure the 1991 pop duet . While ultimately accepting the opportunity , she said : `` ( The ) first Beauty and the Beast decision was made with my husband . Now I 'm making decisions on my own . It 's a little bit harder . I could n't say yes right away , because I felt like I was kind of cheating in a way '' . She eventually felt compelled to record the song because of the impact Beauty and the Beast has had on her career . According to Dion , `` I was at the beginning of my career , it put me on the map , it put me where I am today '' . Also , Josh Groban was announced to be performing the new original song `` Evermore '' on January 26 , 2017 . The 2017 film features a remake of the 1991 original song Beauty and the Beast recorded as a duet by Ariana Grande and John Legend . Grande and Legend 's updated version of the Beauty and the Beast title song is faithful to the original , Grammy - winning duet , performed by Céline Dion and Peabo Bryson for the 1991 Disney film . Emma Thompson also performed a rendition of `` Beauty and the Beast '' , which was performed by Angela Lansbury in the original 1991 animated film release . Disney debuted the music video for Ariana Grande and John Legend 's interpretation of the title song `` Beauty and the Beast '' on Freeform television network on March 5 , 2017 , and it has since attained over 100 million video views on the Vevo video - hosting service .

Reception ( edit ) Box Office ( edit ) Praised for her performance as Belle worldwide , Beauty and the Beast is Emma Watson 's second highest - grossing film , behind only the final Harry Potter film , Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows -- Part 2 . Beauty and the Beast grossed $504 million in the United States and Canada and $759.4 million in other territories for a worldwide gross of $1.263 billion . With a production budget of $160 million , it is the second-most expensive musical ever made ; only Hello , Dolly ! ( 1969 ) with a budget of $25 million ( $165 million in 2016 dollars ) cost more . In just ten days , it became the highest - grossing live - action musical of all time , beating the nine - year - old record held by Mamma Mia ! . It is currently the second - biggest musical ever overall , behind Disney 's Frozen ( 2013 ) . Worldwide , the film proved to be a global phenomenon , earning a total of $357 million over its four - day opening weekend from 56 markets . Critics said the film was playing like superhero movies amongst women . It was the second biggest March global opening , behind only Batman v Superman : Dawn of Justice , the thirteenth - biggest worldwide opening ever and the seventh - biggest for Disney . This includes $21 million from IMAX plays on 1,026 screens , a new record for an IMAX PG title . It surpassed the entire lifetime total of the original film in just six days . Beauty and the Beast is the 300th digitally remastered release in IMAX company 's history , which began with the re-release of Apollo 13 in 2002 . Its robust global debut helped push the company past $6 billion for the first time , and led to analysts believing that the film had a shot of passing $1 billion worldwide from theatrical earnings . On April 12 , it passed the $1 billion threshold , becoming the first film of 2017 , the fourteenth Disney film , and the twenty - ninth film overall to pass the mark . It became the first film since Rogue One ( also a Disney property ) in December 2016 to make over a billion dollars , and did so on its twenty - ninth day of release . It is currently the highest - grossing film of 2017 , the highest - grossing March release , the highest - grossing remake of all - time , and the fifth - biggest Disney film . Even after inflation adjusted , it is still ahead of the $425 million gross ( $760 million in 2017 dollars ) of the original film . North America ( edit ) In the United States and Canada , Beauty and the Beast topped Fandango 's pre-sales and became the fastest - selling family film in the company 's history , topping the studio 's own animated film Finding Dory released the previous year . Early tracking had the film grossing around $100 million in its opening weekend , with some publications predicting it could reach $130 million . By the time the film 's release was 10 days away , analysts raised projections to as high as $150 million . It earned $16.3 million from Thursday previews night , marking the biggest of 2017 ( breaking Logan 's record ) , the biggest ever for a Disney live - action film ( breaking Maleficent 's record ) , the second biggest ever for both a G or PG - rated film ( behind the sixth Harry Potter film Harry Potter and the Half - Blood Prince which also starred Watson ) , and the third biggest ever in the month of March ( behind Batman v Superman : Dawn of Justice and The Hunger Games ) . An estimated 41 % of the gross came from IMAX , 3D and premium large format screenings which began at 6 pm , while the rest -- 59 % -- came from regular 2D shows which began at 7 p.m. The numbers were considered more impressive given that the film played during a school week . On its opening day , the film made $63.8 million from 4,210 theaters across 9,200 screens , marking the third biggest in the month of March , trailing behind Batman v Superman ( $81.5 million ) and The Hunger Games ( $67 million ) . It was also the biggest opening day ever for a film that was n't PG - 13 , displacing the $58 million opening Wednesday of Harry Potter and the Half - Blood Prince . Its opening day alone ( which includes Thursday 's previews ) almost matched the entire opening weekend of previous Disney live - action films , Maleficent ( $69.4 million ) and Cinderella ( $67.9 million ) . Unlike all previous four Disney live - action films witnessing a hike on their second day , Saturday , Beauty and the Beast actually fell 2 % , but nevertheless , the dip was paltry , and the grosses are so much bigger compared to the other titles . Earning a total of $174.8 million on its opening weekend , it defied all expectations and went on to set numerous notable records . This includes the biggest opening of the year as well as the biggest for the month of March and pre-summer / spring opening , beating Batman v Superman , the biggest start ever for a PG title ( also for a family film ) , surpassing Finding Dory , the biggest debut of all time for a female - fueled film , ahead of The Hunger Games : Catching Fire , the biggest for a Disney live - action adaptation , ahead of Alice in Wonderland and the biggest musical debut ever , supplanting Pitch Perfect 2 . Furthermore , it is also Watson 's highest - opening , beating Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows -- Part 2 same with Emma Thompson , director Bill Condon 's biggest debut ever ahead of The Twilight Saga : Breaking Dawn -- Part 2 and the biggest outside of summer , save for Star Wars : The Force Awakens , not accounting for inflation . It became the forty - third film to debut with over $100 million and the fifteenth film to open above $150 million . Its three - day opening alone surpassed the entire original North American run of the first film ( $146 million ; before the 3D re-release ) , instantly becoming the second - biggest film of the year , behind Logan ( $184 million ) , and also the second - highest - grossing musical , behind Grease 's $188 million cumulative gross in 1978 . Seventy percent of the total ticket sales came from 2D showings signifying that people who do n't go to theaters frequently came out in bulk to watch the film . About 26 % of the remaining tickets were for 3D . IMAX accounted for 7 % ( $12.5 million ) of the total weekend 's gross , setting a new record for a PG title , ahead of Alice in Wonderland ( $12.1 million ) while PLF repped 11 % of the box office . Seventy percent of the film 's opening day demographic was female , dropping to 60 % through the weekend . According polling service PostTrak , about 84 percent of American parents who saw the film on its opening day said they would `` definitely '' recommend it for families . The film 's opening was credited to positive word of mouth from audiences , good reviews from critics , effective marketing which sold the title not just as a family film but also as a romantic drama , the cast 's star power ( especially Emma Watson ) , lack of competition , being the first family film since The Lego Batman Movie a month earlier , nostalgia , and the success and ubiquity of the first film and Disney 's brand . On Monday , its fourth day of release , the film fell precipitously by 72 % earning $13.5 million . The steep fall was due to a limited marketplace where only 11 % K - 12 and 15 % colleges were off per ComScore . Nevertheless , it is the second - biggest March Monday , behind Batman v Superman ( $15 million ) . This was followed by the biggest March and pre-summer Tuesday with $17.8 million , a 32 % increase from its previous day . The same day , the film passed $200 million in ticket sales . It earned $228.6 million in the first week of release , the sixth - biggest seven - day gross of all time . In its second weekend , the film continued to maintain the top positioning and fell gradually by 48 % earning another $90.4 million to register the fourth - biggest second weekend of all time , and the third - biggest for Disney . In terms of percentage drop , its 48 % decline is the third - smallest drop for any film opening above $125 million ( behind Finding Dory and The Force Awakens ) . The hold was notable considering how the film was able to fend off three new wide releases : Power Rangers , Life , and CHiPs . As a result , it passed the $300 million threshold becoming the first film of 2017 the pass said mark . The film grossed $45.4 million in its third weekend , finally being overtaken for the top spot by newcomer The Boss Baby ( $50.2 million ) . On April 4 , 2017 , its nineteenth day of release , it passed the $400 million threshold becoming the first film of 2017 to do so . By its fourth weekend , the film began was playing in 3,969 cinemas , a fall of 241 theaters from its previous weekend . Of those , approximately 1,200 cinemas were sing - along versions . It earned $26.3 million ( - 48 % ) and retained second place . By comparison , previous Disney films Moana ( − 8 % ) and Frozen ( − 2 % ) both witnessed mild percentage declines the weekend their sing - alone versions were released . Its seventh weekend of release was in contemporaneous with another Emma Watson - starring new film The Circle . That weekend , The Circle was number four , while Beauty and the Beast was at number six . By May 28 , the film had earned over $500 million in ticket sales becoming the first ( and currently only ) film of 2017 , the third female - fueled film ( after The Force Awakens and Rogue One : A Star Wars Story followed by Wonder Woman ) and the eighth overall film in cinematic history to pass the mark . It has already become the biggest March release , dethroning The Hunger Games ( 2012 ) , the biggest musical film ( both animated and live - action ) , as well as the biggest film of 2017 . Outside North America ( edit ) Internationally , the film began playing on Thursday , March 16 , 2017 . Through Sunday , March 19 , it had a total international opening of $182.3 million from 55 markets , 44 of which were major territories , far exceeding initial estimations of $100 million and opened at No. 1 in virtually all markets except Vietnam , Turkey , and India . Its launch is the second - biggest for the month of March , behind Batman v Superman ( $256.5 million ) . In IMAX , it recorded the biggest debut for a PG title ( although it carried varying certificate amongst different markets ) with $8.5 million from 649 screens , the second - biggest for a PG title behind The Jungle Book . In its second weekend , it fell just by 35 % earning another $120.6 million and maintaining its first position hold . It added major markets like France and Australia . It topped the international box office for three consecutive weekends before finally being dethroned by Ghost in the Shell and The Boss Baby in its fourth weekend . Despite the fall , the film helped Disney push past the $1 billion thresold internationally for the first time in 2017 . It scored the biggest opening day of the year in Hong Kong and the Philippines , the biggest March Thursday in Italy ( $1 million , also the biggest Disney Thursday debut ) , the biggest March opening day in Austria , and the second - biggest in Germany ( $1.1 million ) , Disney 's biggest March in Denmark , the biggest Disney live - action debut in China ( $12.6 million ) , the UK ( $6.2 million ) , Mexico ( $2.4 million ) and Brazil ( $1.8 million ) and the third - biggest in South Korea with $1.2 million , behind only Pirates of the Caribbean : At World 's End and Pirates of the Caribbean : On Stranger Tides . In terms of opening weekend , the largest debut came from China ( $44.8 million ) , followed by the UK ( $24.3 million ) , Korea ( $11.8 million ) , Mexico ( $11.8 million ) , Australia ( $11.1 million ) , Brazil ( $11 million ) , Germany ( $10.7 million ) , France ( $8.4 million ) , Italy ( $7.6 million ) , Philippines ( $6.3 million ) , Russia ( $6 million ) and Spain ( $5.8 million ) . In the United Kingdom and Ireland , the film recorded the biggest opening ever for a PG - rated film , the biggest Disney live - action opening of all time , the biggest March opening weekend , the biggest opening for a musical ( ahead of 2012 's Les Misérables ) , the number one opening of 2017 to date and the fifth - biggest - ever overall with £ 19.7 million ( $24.5 million ) from 639 theatres and almost twice that of The Jungle Book ( £ 9.9 million ) . This included the second - biggest Saturday ever ( £ 7.9 million ) , only behind Star Wars : The Force Awakens . It witnessed a decline in its second weekend , earning £ 12.33 million ( $15.4 million ) . Though the film was falling at a faster rate than The Jungle Book , it had already surpassed the said film and its second weekend is the third - biggest ever ( behind the two James Bond films Skyfall ( 2012 ) and Spectre ) . In India , despite facing heavy competitions from four new Hindi releases , two Tamils films and a Malayalam and a Punjabi release , the film managed to take an occupancy of 15 % on its opening day , an impressive feat despite tremendous competitions . It earned around ₹ 1.5 crore ( US $230,000 ) nett on its opening day from an estimated 600 screens which is more than the three Hindi releases -- Machine , Trapped , and Aa Gaya Hero -- combined . Disney reported a total of ₹ 9.26 crore ( US $1.4 million ) gross for its opening weekend there . It was ahead of all new releases and second overall behind Bollywood film Badrinath Ki Dulhania . In Russia , despite receiving a restrictive 16 rating , the film managed to deliver a very successful opening with $6 million . In China , expectations were high for the film . The release date was announced on January 24 , giving Disney and local distributor China Film Group Corporation ample time -- around two months -- to market the film nationwide . The release date was strategically chosen to coincide with White Day . Preliminary reports suggested that it could open to $40 -- 60 million in its opening weekend . Largely driven by young women , its opening day pre-sales outpaced that of The Jungle Book . The original film was , however , never widely popular in the country . Although China has occasionally blocked gay - themed content from streaming video services , in this case , Chinese censors decided to leave the gay scene intact . According to local box office tracker Ent Group , the film grossed an estimated $12.1 million on its opening day ( Friday ) , representing 70 % of the total receipts . Including previews , it made a total of $14.5 million from 100,000 screenings , which is 43 % of all screenings in the country . It climbed to $18.5 million on Saturday ( 102,700 showings ) for a three - day total of $42.6 million , securing 60 % of the total marketplace . Disney on the other hand reported a different figure of $44.8 million . Either ways , it recorded the second - biggest opening for a Disney live - action film , with $3.4 million coming from 386 IMAX screens . Japan -- a huge Disney market -- served as the film 's final market and opened there on April 21 . It debuted with a better - than - expected $12.5 million on its opening weekend helping the film push past the $1.1 billion threshold . An estimated $1.1 million came from IMAX screenings , the fourth - biggest ever in the country . The two - day gross was $9.7 million , outstripping Frozen 's previous record of $9.5 million . Due to positive reviews , good word - of - mouth and benefitting from the Golden Week , the film saw a 9 % increase on its second weekend . The hold was strong enough to fend off newcomer The Fate of the Furious from securing the top spot . The total there is now over $98 million after seven weekends and is the biggest film release of the year and , overall , the eleventh - biggest of all time . It topped the box office there for eight consecutive weekends . The only markets where the film did not top the weekend charts were Vietnam ( behind Kong : Skull Island ) , Turkey ( with two local movies and Logan ahead ) and India ( where Badrinath Ki Dulhania retained No. 1 ) . It topped the box office for four straight weekends in Germany , Korea , Austria , Finland , Poland , Portugal , Brazil , Venezuela , Bolivia , Switzerland and the UK ( exclusive of previews ) . In the Philippines , it emerged as the most successful commercial film of all time -- both local and foreign -- with over $13.5 million . In just five weeks , the film became one of the top 10 highest - grossing film of all time in the United Kingdom and Ireland , ahead of all but one Harry Potter film ( Deathly Hallows -- Part 2 ) and all three The Lord of the Rings movies ( which also starred Ian McKellen ) . It is currently the eighth - biggest grosser with £ 70.1 million ( $90 million ) , overtaking Mamma Mia ! to become the biggest musical production ever there . The biggest international earning markets following the UK are Japan ( $108 million ) , China ( $85.8 million ) , Brazil ( $41.5 million ) , Korea ( $37.5 million ) , and Australia ( $35 million ) . In Europe alone , the cumulative total is $267 million to become the second - highest - grossing film in the past year ( behind Rogue One : A Star Wars Story ) . Critical response ( edit ) Beauty and the Beast received generally positive reviews , with praise for the faithfulness to the original film with a few elements of the Broadway musical version , cast performances , visuals , Jacqueline Durran 's costume designs , production design , Alan Menken 's musical score and songs , though the designs of the Beast and the servants ' household object forms received mixed reviews . On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes , the film has an approval rating of 71 % based on 301 reviews , with an average rating of 6.6 / 10 . The site 's critical consensus reads , `` With an enchanting cast , beautifully crafted songs , and a painterly eye for detail , Beauty and the Beast offers a faithful yet fresh retelling that honors its beloved source material . '' On Metacritic , the film has a score of 65 out of 100 , based on 47 critics , indicating `` generally favorable reviews '' . In CinemaScore polls , audiences gave the film an average grade of `` A '' on an A+ to F scale . Leslie Felperin of The Hollywood Reporter wrote : `` It 's a Michelin - triple - starred master class in patisserie skills that transforms the cinematic equivalent of a sugar rush into a kind of crystal - meth - like narcotic high that lasts about two hours . '' Felperin also praised the performances of Watson and Kline as well the special effects , costume designs and the sets while commended the inclusion of Gad 's character of LeFou as the first LGBT character in Disney . Owen Gleiberman of Variety , in his positive review of the film , wrote : `` It 's a lovingly crafted movie , and in many ways a good one , but before that it 's an enraptured piece of old - is - new nostalgia . '' Gleiberman compared Steven 's character of the Beast to a royal version of the titular character in The Elephant Man and the 1946 version of the Beast in Jean Cocteau 's original adaptation . A.O. Scott of The New York Times praised the performances of both Watson and Stevens , and wrote : `` It looks good , moves gracefully and leaves a clean and invigorating aftertaste . I almost did n't recognize the flavor : I think the name for it is joy . '' Likewise , The Washington Post 's Ann Hornaday complimented Watson 's performance , describing it as `` alert and solemn '' while noting her singing ability as `` serviceable enough to get the job done '' . Richard Roeper of Chicago Sun - Times awarded the film three and a half stars , lauded the performances of Watson and Thompson which he drew a comparison to Paige O'Hara 's and Angela Lansbury 's performances in the 1991 animated version while appreciating the performances of the other cast and also pointing out on its usage of the combination of motion capture and CGI technology as a big advantage which he stated : `` Almost overwhelmingly lavish , beautifully staged and performed with exquisite timing and grace by the outstanding cast '' . Mike Ryan of Uproxx praised the cast , production design and the new songs while noting the film does n't try anything different , saying : `` There 's certainly nothing that new about this version of Beauty and the Beast ( well , except it is n't a cartoon anymore ) , but it 's a good recreation of a classic animated film that should leave most die - hards satisfied . '' In her A - review , Nancy Churnin of The Dallas Morning News praised the film 's emotional and thematic depth , remarking : `` There 's an emotional authenticity in director Bill Condon 's live - action Beauty and the Beast film that helps you rediscover Disney 's beloved 1991 animated film and 1994 stage show in fresh , stirring ways . '' James Berardinelli of ReelViews described the 2017 version as `` enthralling '' . Brian Truitt of USA Today commended the performances of Evans , Gad , McGregor and Thompson alongside Condon 's affinity with musicals , the production design , visual effects featured in some of the song numbers including new songs made by the composers Alan Menken and Tim Rice , particularly Evermore which he described the new song with a potential for an Academy Award for Best Original Song . Peter Travers of Rolling Stone rated the film three out of four stars which he deemed it as an `` exhilarating gift '' while he remarked that `` Beauty and the Beast does justice to Disney 's animated classic , even if some of the magic is M.I.A ( Missing in Action ) . '' Stephanie Zacharek of Time magazine gave a positive review with a description as `` Wild , Vivid and Crazy - Beautiful '' as she wrote `` Nearly everything about Beauty and the Beast is larger than life , to the point that watching it can be a little overwhelming . '' and added that `` it 's loaded with feeling , almost like a brash interpretive dance expressing the passion and elation little girls ( and some boys , too ) must have felt upon seeing the earlier version . '' The San Francisco Chronicle 's Mick LaSalle struck an affirmative tone , calling it one of the joys of 2017 , stating that `` Beauty and the Beast creates an air of enchantment from its first moments , one that lingers and builds and takes on qualities of warmth and generosity as it goes along '' while referring the film as `` beautiful '' and also praised the film for its emotional and psychological tone as well Steven 's motion capture performance . Tim Robey of The Daily Telegraph gave the film four stars out of five and wrote that `` It dazzles on this chocolate box of a picture that feels almost greedy yet to make this film work , down to a sugar - rush finale to grasp the nettle and make an out - an - out , bells - and - whistles musical '' while he praised the performances of Watson , McKellen , Thompson , McGregor , Evans and Gad . Mark Hughes of Forbes also similarly praised the film which he wrote that `` it could revive the story in a faithful but entirely new and unique way elevating the material beyond expectations , establishing itself as a cinematic equal to the original '' and also complimented the importance of undertaking a renowned yet problematic masterpiece as well addressing changes in the elements of the story while acknowledging the film 's effectiveness in resonating to the audiences . Several critics regarded the film as inferior to its 1991 animated predecessor . David Sims of The Atlantic wrote that the 2017 film `` feels particularly egregious , in part , because it 's so slavishly devoted to the original ; every time it falls short of its predecessor ( which is quite often ) , it 's hard not to notice '' . Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune said that the 2017 film `` takes our knowledge and our interest in the material for granted . It zips from one number to another , throwing a ton of frenetically edited eye candy at the screen , charmlessly . '' Phillips wrote that the film featured some `` less conspicuously talented '' performers who are `` stuck doing karaoke , or motion - capture work of middling quality '' , though he praised Kline 's performance as the `` best , sweetest thing in the movie ; he brings a sense of calm , droll authority '' . Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian praised Watson 's performance and wrote that the film was `` lit in that fascinatingly artificial honey - glow light , and it runs smoothly on rails -- the kind of rails that bring in and out the stage sets for the lucrative Broadway touring version . '' In the same newspaper , Wendy Ide criticized the film as `` ornate to the point of desperation '' in its attempt to emulate the animated film . Chris Nashawaty of Entertainment Weekly gave the film a B - , writing that while the film looks `` exceptionally great '' , he said the new songs were `` not transporting '' . He felt the film needed more life and depth , but praised Watson 's and Steven 's performances as the `` film 's stronger elements '' . Dana Schwartz of The New York Observer felt that some of the characters , such as Gaston and the Beast , had been watered down from the 1991 film , and that the additional backstory elements failed to `` advance the plot or theme in any meaningful way '' while adding considerable bloat . Schwartz considered the singing of the cast to be adequate but felt that their voices should have been dubbed over , especially for the complex songs .

Afterwards in an interview with Vulture.com , Condon stated , `` Can I just say , I 'm sort of sick of this . Because you 've seen the movie -- it 's such a tiny thing , and it 's been overblown . '' Condon also added that Beauty and the Beast features much more diversity than just the highly talked - about LeFou : `` That was so important . We have interracial couples -- this is a celebration of everybody 's individuality , and that 's what 's exciting about it . '' GLAAD president and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis praised the move stating , `` It is a small moment in the film , but it is a huge leap forward for the film industry . '' In Russia , Vitaly Milonov agitated the culture minister for banning the film , but instead it was given a 16 + rating ( children under the age of 16 can only be admitted to see it in theaters with accompanying adults ) . Additionally , a theater in Henagar , Alabama did not screen the film because of the subplot . In Malaysia , the Film Censorship Board insisted the `` gay moment '' scene be cut , prompting an indefinite postponement of its release by Disney , followed by their decision to withdraw it completely if it could not be released uncensored . The studio moved the release date to March 30 , to allow more time for Malaysia 's censor board to make a decision on whether or not to release the film without changes . The distributors and producers then submitted an appeal to the Film Appeal Committee of Malaysia , which allowed the film to be released without any cuts and a P13 rating on the grounds that the `` gay element '' was minor and did not affect the positive elements featured in the film . In Kuwait , the movie was withdrawn from cinemas by National Cinema Company which owns most of the cinemas in the country . A board member of the company stated that the Ministry of Information 's censorship department had requested it to stop its screening and edit it for things deemed offensive by it . There were also a number of boycotts against the film . A call to boycott on LifePetitions received over 129,000 signatures , while the American Family Association featured a petition to boycott with the film , asking the public to help crowdfund a CGI version of Pilgrim 's Progress instead . The film also received criticsm over its portrayal of LeFou , as many felt that it relied on stereotypes and was used as a way of teasing LGBT+ viewers without providing adequate representation . LeFou 's status as a sidekick to the main villain brought about criticism over Disney 's queercoding of villains in the past , and his infatuation with Gaston was seen as relying on a stereotype of gay men being predatory towards straight men . Furthermore , the only gay interaction LeFou has is a three second clip of him dancing with another man at the end of the film . Many saw this as Disney cheating its LGBT+ audiences . Belle and the Beast 's relationship ( edit ) Disney has sought to portray Belle as an empowered young woman , but a debate questioning whether it is possible to fall in love with someone who is holding you prisoner , and whether this is a problematic theme , has resulted . As was the case with the original animated film , one argument is that Belle suffers from Stockholm syndrome ( a condition that causes hostages to develop a psychological alliance with their captors as a survival strategy during captivity ) . Emma Watson studied whether Belle is trapped in an abusive relationship with the Beast before signing on and concluded that she does not think the criticism fits this version of the folk tale . Watson described Stockholm Syndrome as `` where a prisoner will take on the characteristics of and fall in love with the captor . Belle actively argues and disagrees with ( Beast ) constantly . She has none of the characteristics of someone with Stockholm Syndrome because she keeps her independence , she keeps that freedom of thought '' , also adding that Belle defiantly `` gives as good as she gets '' before forming a friendship and romance with the Beast . Psychiatrist Frank Ochberg , who coined the term `` Stockholm syndrome '' , said he does not think Belle exhibits the trauma symptoms of prisoners suffering from the syndrome because she does not go through a period of feeling that she is going to die . Some therapists , while acknowledging that the pairing 's relationship does not meet the clinical definition of Stockholm syndrome , argue that the relationship depicted is dysfunctional and abusive and does not model healthy romantic relationships for young viewers . Constance Grady of Vox writes that Jeanne - Marie Leprince de Beaumont 's Beauty and the Beast was a fairy tale originally written to prepare young girls in 18th - century France for arranged marriages , and that the power disparity is amplified in the Disney version . Anna Menta of Elite Daily argued that the Beast does not apologize to Belle for imprisoning , hurting , or manipulating her , and his treatment of Belle is not painted as wrong .

'' It is distinguished from peacebuilding , peacemaking , and peace enforcement although the United Nations does acknowledge that all activities are `` mutually reinforcing '' and that overlap between them is frequent in practice . Peacekeepers monitor and observe peace processes in post-conflict areas and assist ex-combatants in implementing the peace agreements they may have signed . Such assistance comes in many forms , including confidence - building measures , power - sharing arrangements , electoral support , strengthening the rule of law , and economic and social development . Accordingly , UN peacekeepers ( often referred to as Blue Berets or Blue Helmets because of their light blue berets or helmets ) can include soldiers , police officers , and civilian personnel . The United Nations Charter gives the United Nations Security Council the power and responsibility to take collective action to maintain international peace and security . For this reason , the international community usually looks to the Security Council to authorize peacekeeping operations through Chapter VI authorizations . Most of these operations are established and implemented by the United Nations itself , with troops serving under UN operational control . In these cases , peacekeepers remain members of their respective armed forces , and do not constitute an independent `` UN army , '' as the UN does not have such a force . In cases where direct UN involvement is not considered appropriate or feasible , the Council authorizes regional organizations such as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization ( NATO ) , the Economic Community of West African States , or coalitions of willing countries to undertake peacekeeping or peace - enforcement tasks . Hervé Ladsous has served as the head of the Department of Peacekeeping Operations ( DPKO ) since 2 September 2011 . DPKO 's highest level doctrine document , entitled `` United Nations Peacekeeping Operations : Principles and Guidelines '' was issued in 2008 .

As of 31 December 2013 , the total size of the peacekeeping force is 98,200 police , troops , and military experts . European nations contribute nearly 6,000 units to this total . Pakistan , India , and Bangladesh are among the largest individual contributors with around 8,000 units each . African nations contributed nearly half the total , almost 44,000 units . Every peacekeeping mission is authorized by the Security Council . Formation ( edit ) Guard of Honor during UN Medal Awarding Parade at Bunia , Orientale . Republique democratique du Congo by Bangladesh UN Peacekeeping Force A multinational UN battalion at the 2008 Bastille Day military parade Once a peace treaty has been negotiated , the parties involved might ask the United Nations for a peacekeeping force to oversee various elements of the agreed upon plan . This is often done because a group controlled by the United Nations is less likely to follow the interests of any one party , since it itself is controlled by many groups , namely the 15 - member Security Council and the intentionally diverse United Nations Secretariat . If the Security Council approves the creation of a mission , then the Department of Peacekeeping Operations begins planning for the necessary elements . At this point , the senior leadership team is selected . The department will then seek contributions from member nations . Since the UN has no standing force or supplies , it must form ad hoc coalitions for every task undertaken . Doing so results in both the possibility of failure to form a suitable force , and a general slowdown in procurement once the operation is in the field . Romeo Dallaire , force commander in Rwanda during the Rwandan Genocide there , described the problems this poses by comparison to more traditional military deployments : He told me the UN was a `` pull '' system , not a `` push '' system like I had been used to with NATO , because the UN had absolutely no pool of resources to draw on . You had to make a request for everything you needed , and then you had to wait while that request was analyzed ... For instance , soldiers everywhere have to eat and drink . In a push system , food and water for the number of soldiers deployed is automatically supplied . In a pull system , you have to ask for those rations , and no common sense seems to ever apply . -- ( Shake Hands With the Devil , Dallaire , pp. 99 -- 100 ) While the peacekeeping force is being assembled , a variety of diplomatic activities are being undertaken by UN staff . The exact size and strength of the force must be agreed to by the government of the nation whose territory the conflict is on . The Rules of Engagement must be developed and approved by both the parties involved and the Security Council . These give the specific mandate and scope of the mission ( e.g. when may the peacekeepers , if armed , use force , and where may they go within the host nation ) . Often , it will be mandated that peacekeepers have host government minders with them whenever they leave their base . This complexity has caused problems in the field . When all agreements are in place , the required personnel are assembled , and final approval has been given by the Security Council , the peacekeepers are deployed to the region in question . Financing ( edit ) Australian peacekeepers in East Timor The financial resources of UN Peacekeeping operations are the collective responsibility of UN Member States . Decisions about the establishment , maintenance or expansion of peacekeeping operations are taken by the Security Council . According to UN Charter every Member State is legally obligated to pay their respective share for peacekeeping . Peacekeeping expenses are divided by the General Assembly based upon a formula established by Member States which takes into account the relative economic wealth of Member States among other things . In 2017 , the UN agreed to reduce the peacekeeping budget by $600 million after the US initially proposed a larger cut of approximately $900 million . Year Funding sources by country / source Description Total 2015 - 2016 $8.3 bn 2016 - 2017 US 28.57 % China 10.29 % Japan 9.68 % Germany 6.39 % France 6.31 % United Kingdom 5.80 % Russian Federation 4.01 % Italy 3.75 % Canada 2.92 % Spain 2.44 % Less than 0.5 % of world military expenditures ( estimated at $1,747 billion in 2013 ) . The resources financed 14 of the 16 United Nations peacekeeping missions with the two remaining ones getting financed through the UN regular budget . Many countries have also voluntarily made additional resources available to support UN Peacekeeping efforts such as by transportation , supplies , personnel and financial contributions beyond their assessed share of peacekeeping costs . $7.87 bn 2017 - 2018 While many have praised the Ivory Coast UN peacekeeping mission 's stabilizing effects on the country the mission was ended on 30 June 2017 . $7.3 bn Structure ( edit ) A United Nations peacekeeping mission has three power centers . The first is the Special Representative of the Secretary - General , the official leader of the mission . This person is responsible for all political and diplomatic activity , overseeing relations with both the parties to the peace treaty and the UN member - states in general . They are often a senior member of the Secretariat . The second is the Force Commander , who is responsible for the military forces deployed . They are a senior officer of their nation 's armed services , and are often from the nation committing the highest number of troops to the project . Finally , the Chief Administrative Officer oversees supplies and logistics , and coordinates the procurement of any supplies needed . History ( edit ) Main article : History of United Nations peacekeeping Cold War peacekeeping ( edit ) Peacekeepers ' Panhard armoured car in the Musée des Blindés , Saumur , France . These vehicles have served with the UN since the inception of UNFICYP . A Pakistani UNOSOM armed convoy making the rounds in Mogadishu . United Nations peacekeeping was initially developed during the Cold War as a means of resolving conflicts between states by deploying unarmed or lightly armed military personnel from a number of countries , under UN command , to areas where warring parties were in need of a neutral party to observe the peace process . Peacekeepers could be called in when the major international powers ( the five permanent members of the Security Council ) tasked the UN with bringing closure to conflicts threatening regional stability and international peace and security . These included a number of so - called `` proxy wars '' waged by client states of the superpowers . As of February 2009 , there have been 63 UN peacekeeping operations since 1948 , with sixteen operations ongoing . Suggestions for new missions arise every year . The first peacekeeping mission was launched in 1948 . This mission , the United Nations Truce Supervision Organization ( UNTSO ) , was sent to the newly created State of Israel , where a conflict between the Israelis and the Arab states over the creation of Israel had just reached a ceasefire . The UNTSO remains in operation to this day , although the Israeli - Palestinian Conflict has certainly not abated . Almost a year later , the United Nations Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan ( UNMOGIP ) was authorized to monitor relations between the two nations , which were split off from each other following the United Kingdom 's decolonization of the Indian subcontinent . As the Korean War ended with the Korean Armistice Agreement in 1953 , UN forces remained along the south side of demilitarized zone until 1967 , when American and South Korean forces took over . Returning its attention to the conflict between Israel and its Arab neighbors , the United Nations responded to Suez Crisis of 1956 , a war between the alliance of the United Kingdom , France , and Israel , and Egypt , which was supported by other Arab nations . When a ceasefire was declared in 1957 , Canadian Secretary of State for External Affairs ( and future Prime Minister ) Lester Bowles Pearson suggested that the United Nations station a peacekeeping force in the Suez in order to ensure that the ceasefire was honored by both sides . Pearson had initially suggested that the force consist of mainly Canadian soldiers , but the Egyptians were suspicious of having a Commonwealth nation defend them against the United Kingdom and her allies . In the end , a wide variety of national forces were drawn upon to ensure national diversity . Pearson would win the Nobel Peace Prize for this work , and he is today considered a father of modern peacekeeping . In 1988 , the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to the United Nations peacekeeping forces . The press release stated that the forces `` represent the manifest will of the community of nations '' and have `` made a decisive contribution '' to the resolution of conflict around the world . Since 1991 ( edit ) Norwegian Peacekeeper during the Siege of Sarajevo , 1992 - 1993 . Indian soldiers patrol under UN mission in Congo , Africa Indian Army doctors attend to a child in Congo The end of the Cold War precipitated a dramatic shift in UN and multilateral peacekeeping . In a new spirit of cooperation , the Security Council established larger and more complex UN peacekeeping missions , often to help implement comprehensive peace agreements between belligerents in intra-State conflicts and civil wars . Furthermore , peacekeeping came to involve more and more non-military elements that ensured the proper functioning of civic functions , such as elections . The UN Department of Peacekeeping Operations was created in 1992 to support this increased demand for such missions . By and large , the new operations were successful . In El Salvador and Mozambique , for example , peacekeeping provided ways to achieve self - sustaining peace . Some efforts failed , perhaps as the result of an overly optimistic assessment of what UN peacekeeping could accomplish . While complex missions in Cambodia and Mozambique were ongoing , the Security Council dispatched peacekeepers to conflict zones like Somalia , where neither ceasefires nor the consent of all the parties in conflict had been secured . These operations did not have the manpower , nor were they supported by the required political will , to implement their mandates . The failures -- most notably the 1994 Rwandan Genocide and the 1995 massacre in Srebrenica and Bosnia and Herzegovina -- led to a period of retrenchment and self - examination in UN peacekeeping . That period led , in part , to the United Nations Peacebuilding Commission , which works to implement stable peace through some of the same civic functions that peacekeepers also work on , such as elections . The Commission currently works with six countries , all in Africa . Participation ( edit ) Alpine Helicopters contract Bell 212 on UN peacekeeping duty in Guatemala , 1998 . San Martin Camp in Cyprus . The Argentine contingent includes troops from other Latin American countries . Indian Army T - 72 tanks with UN markings as part of Operation CONTINUE HOPE . The UN Charter stipulates that to assist in maintaining peace and security around the world , all member states of the UN should make available to the Security Council necessary armed forces and facilities . Since 1948 , close to 130 nations have contributed military and civilian police personnel to peace operations . While detailed records of all personnel who have served in peacekeeping missions since 1948 are not available , it is estimated that up to one million soldiers , police officers and civilians have served under the UN flag in the last 56 years . As of June 2013 , 114 countries were contributing a total 91,216 military observers , police , and troops to United Nations Peacekeeping Operations . As of 29 February 2016 , 124 countries were contributing a total of 105,314 personnel in Peacekeeping Operations , with Ethiopia leading the tally ( 8,324 ) , followed by India ( 7,695 ) and Bangladesh ( 7,525 ) . In June 2013 . Pakistan contributed the highest number overall with 8,186 personnel , followed by India ( 7,878 ) , Bangladesh ( 7,799 ) , Ethiopia ( 6,502 ) , Rwanda ( 4,686 ) , Nigeria ( 4,684 ) , Nepal ( 4,495 ) , Jordan ( 3,374 ) , Ghana ( 2,859 ) , and Egypt ( 2,750 ) . As of 28 February 2015 , 120 countries were contributing a total of 104,928 personnel in Peacekeeping Operations , with Bangladesh leading the tally ( 9446 ) . As of March 2008 , in addition to military and police personnel , 5,187 international civilian personnel , 2,031 UN Volunteers and 12,036 local civilian personnel worked in UN peacekeeping missions . A peacekeeping soldier of Poland in Syria Through April 2008 , 2,468 people from over 100 countries have been killed while serving on peacekeeping missions . Many of those came from India ( 127 ) , Canada ( 114 ) and Ghana ( 113 ) . Thirty percent of the fatalities in the first 55 years of UN peacekeeping occurred in the years 1993 - 1995 . About 4.5 % of the troops and civilian police deployed in UN peacekeeping missions come from the European Union and less than one percent from the United States ( USA ) . The rate of reimbursement by the UN for troop - contributing countries per peacekeeper per month include : $1,028 for pay and allowances ; $303 supplementary pay for specialists ; $68 for personal clothing , gear and equipment ; and $5 for personal weaponry . Results ( edit ) According to scholar Page Fortna , there is strong evidence that the presence of peacekeepers significantly reduces the risk of renewed warfare ; more peacekeeping troops leads to fewer battlefield deaths ; and more peacekeeping troops leads to fewer civilian deaths . There is also evidence that the promise to deploy peacekeepers can help an international organizations bring combatants to the negotiation table and increase the likelihood that they will agree to a cease - fire . Similarly , Nicholas Sambanis asserts that the presence of a UN peacekeeping mission is correlated with a positive effect on the achievement of peace , especially in the short - term . However , he notes that this effect is lessened over time . Thus , the longer that peacekeepers remain in a country , the greater the likelihood that peace will maintain . Acknowledging the success that UN peacekeeping operations have achieved in increasing political participation , Sambanis claims that a greater focus on economic development would further increase the efficacy of peacekeeping efforts . Another study , conducted by Magnus Lundgren , suggests that doubling the peacekeeping operation budget stronger peacekeeping operation mandates and a doubling of the PKO budget would reduce armed conflicts by up to two thirds relative to a scenario without PKOs . Crimes by peacekeepers ( edit ) Peacekeeping , human trafficking , and forced prostitution ( edit ) Further information : Peacekeeping § Peacekeeping , human trafficking , and forced prostitution Reporters witnessed a rapid increase in prostitution in Cambodia and Mozambique after UN peacekeeping forces moved in . In the 1996 UN study `` The Impact of Armed Conflict on Children '' , former first lady of Mozambique Graça Machel documented : `` In 6 out of 12 country studies on sexual exploitation of children in situations of armed conflict prepared for the present report , the arrival of peacekeeping troops has been associated with a rapid rise in child prostitution . '' Gita Sahgal spoke out in 2004 with regard to the fact that prostitution and sex abuse crops up wherever humanitarian intervention efforts are set up . She observed : `` The issue with the UN is that peacekeeping operations unfortunately seem to be doing the same thing that other militaries do . Even the guardians have to be guarded .

The Brahimi Report was the first of many steps to recap former peacekeeping missions , isolate flaws , and take steps to patch these mistakes to ensure the efficiency of future peacekeeping missions . The UN has vowed to continue to put these practices into effect when performing peacekeeping operations in the future . The technocratic aspects of the reform process have been continued and revitalised by the DPKO in its `` Peace Operations 2010 '' reform agenda . This included an increase in personnel , the harmonization of the conditions of service of field and headquarters staff , the development of guidelines and standard operating procedures , and improving the partnership arrangement between the Department of Peacekeeping Operations ( DPKO ) and the United Nations Development Programme ( UNDP ) , African Union and European Union . 2008 capstone doctrine entitled `` United Nations Peacekeeping Operations : Principles and Guidelines '' incorporates and builds on the Brahimi analysis . Rapid reaction force ( edit ) One suggestion to account for delays such as the one in Rwanda , is a rapid reaction force : a standing group , administered by the UN and deployed by the Security Council , that receives its troops and support from current Security Council members and is ready for quick deployment in the event of future genocides . Restructuring of the UN Secretariat ( edit ) The UN peacekeeping capacity was enhanced in 2007 by augmenting the DPKO with the new Department of Field Support ( DFS ) . Whereas the new entity serves as a key enabler by co-ordinating the administration and logistics in UN peacekeeping operations , DPKO concentrates on policy planning and providing strategic directions .

The film tells the story of Count László de Almásy , who is burned from a plane crash and tells his past story in flashbacks involving a romantic affair , while he is tended by a nurse . The film was released to critical acclaim , and received 12 nominations at the 69th Academy Awards , eventually winning nine , including Best Picture , Best Director for Minghella , and Best Supporting Actress for Juliette Binoche . Ralph Fiennes , playing the titular character , and Kristin Scott Thomas were Oscar - nominated for their performances . The film also won five BAFTA Awards and two Golden Globes . The British Film Institute ranked The English Patient the 55th greatest British film of the 20th century . Contents 1 Plot 2 Cast 3 Production 4 Reception 5 Awards 6 References 7 External links Plot ( edit ) In the final days of the Italian Campaign of World War II , Hana , a French - Canadian nurse of the Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps , obtains permission from her unit to move into a bombed - out Italian monastery , to look after a dying , critically burned man who speaks English but can not remember his name . The patient 's only possession is a copy of Herodotus ' Histories with notes , pictures and mementos contained inside . They are soon joined by Kip , a Sikh sapper in the British Army posted with his sergeant to clear mines and unexploded bombs in the local area , including one in the monastery where Hana and the English Patient are residing . David Caravaggio , a Canadian Intelligence Corps operative who has no thumbs as a result of torture during a German interrogation , also arrives to stay at the monastery . Caravaggio questions the patient , who gradually reveals his past to him , Hana and Kip through a series of flashbacks . The patient tells Hana and Caravaggio that , in the late 1930s , he was exploring a region of the Sahara Desert near the Egyptian - Libyan border . He is revealed to be Hungarian cartographer Count László de Almásy , who was mapping the Sahara as part of a Royal Geographical Society archeological and surveying expedition in Egypt and Libya with a group including his good friend , Englishman Peter Madox . Their expedition is joined by a British couple , Geoffrey and Katharine Clifton , who own a new plane and are to contribute to the aerial survey efforts . Almásy is given clues by a local Bedouin man which help the group to discover the location of the Cave of Swimmers , an ancient site of cave paintings in the Gilf Kebir . The group begin to document their find , during which time Almásy falls in love with Katharine . He writes about her in notes folded into his book , which Katharine discovers when Almásy awkwardly accepts her offer of two watercolours she has painted of the cave imagery , and asks her to paste them into the book . The two begin an affair on their return to Cairo , while the group arranges for more detailed archaeological surveys of the cave and the surrounding area . Almásy buys a silver thimble in the market as a gift to Katharine . Some months later , Katharine abruptly ends their affair from fear her husband Geoffrey will discover it . Shortly afterwards the archaeological projects are halted due to the onset of the war . Madox leaves his Boeing - Stearman aeroplane at Kufra Oasis before his intended return to Britain . Over the days while Almásy relates his story , Hana and Kip begin a shy love affair , but Kip is reposted once he has cleared the area of explosives . They agree they will meet again . While Almásy is packing up the base camp at the cave site , Geoffrey , in an attempted murder - suicide having apparently long known about the affair between Almásy and Katharine , deliberately crashes his own Tiger Moth plane , narrowly missing Almásy . Geoffrey is killed instantly and Katharine is seriously injured . Almásy carries her to the Cave of Swimmers , realising she is wearing the thimble he gave to her on a chain around her neck . She confesses that she has always loved him despite ending their affair . After leaving her with provisions , Almásy begins a three - day walk across the desert to get help . At British - held El Tag he attempts to explain the situation , but on revealing his name , is detained on suspicion of being a German spy and transported on a train . He escapes from the train , and soon afterwards comes in contact with a German army unit . He exchanges the survey maps in his possession for aeroplane fuel and transport to Kufra Oasis , where he refuels Madox 's plane and flies back to the cave . However , he finds that Katharine has since died . He takes a letter she has written to him by torchlight to fold into his book , and he flies himself and Katharine 's body away . Before long , though , the plane is shot down by German anti-aircraft guns . Almásy is badly burned and is rescued by a group of Bedouin , who bring him to the Siwa Oasis from where he is moved to Italy . After he has related his story , Almásy indicates to Hana that he wishes to die , pushing several unopened vials of morphine towards her as she gives him his regular injection for pain relief . Though visibly upset , she grants his wishes for a compassionate death and reads Katharine 's final letter to him as he dies . She and Caravaggio leave the monastery for Florence with a passing army truck , and she hugs Almásy 's book to herself as she rides away .

Michael Ondaatje , the Sri Lankan - born Canadian author of the novel , worked closely with the filmmakers . During the development of the project with 20th Century Fox , according to Minghella , the `` studio wanted the insurance policy of so - called bigger '' actors . Zaentz recalled , `` they 'd look at you and say , ' Could we cast Demi Moore in the role ' ? '' Not until Miramax Films took over was the director 's preference for Scott Thomas accepted . The film was shot on location in Tunisia and Italy . with a production budget of $31 million . The Conversations : Walter Murch and the Art of Editing Film ( 2002 ) by Michael Ondaatje is based on the conversations between the author and film editor . Murch , with a career that already included complex works like the Godfather trilogy , The Conversation , and Apocalypse Now , dreaded the task of editing the film with multiple flashbacks and time frames . Once he began , the possibilities became apparent , some of which took him away from the order of the original script . A reel without sound was made so scene change visuals would be consistent with the quality of the aural aspect between the two . The final cut features over 40 temporal transitions . It was during this time that Murch met Ondaatje and they were able to exchange thoughts about editing the film . Two types of aircraft are used in the film , a De Havilland D.H. 82 Tiger Moth and a Boeing - Stearman Model 75 . Both are biplanes . The camp crash scene was made with a ⁄ - size scale model . The Hungarian folk song , `` Szerelem , Szerelem '' , performed by Muzsikas featuring Márta Sebestyén , featured in the film . Reception ( edit ) The film received widespread critical acclaim , was a box office success and a major award winner : victorious in 9 out of 12 nominated Academy Awards categories ; 2 out of 7 nominated Golden Globe Awards categories ; and 6 out of 13 nominated BAFTA Award categories . The film has a `` Certified Fresh '' rating of 84 % on Rotten Tomatoes based on 80 reviews , with an average rating of 7.7 / 10 . The website 's critical consensus states , `` Though it suffers from excessive length and ambition , director Minghella 's adaptation of the Michael Ondaatje novel is complex , powerful , and moving . '' The film also has a rating of 87 / 100 on Metacritic , based on 31 critical reviews , indicating `` universal acclaim '' . Chicago Sun Times critic Roger Ebert gave the film a four - star rating , saying `` it 's the kind of movie you can see twice -- first for the questions , the second time for the answers '' . In his movie guide , Leonard Maltin rated the film 3 ⁄ out of 4 , calling it `` a mesmerizing adaptation '' of Ondaatje 's novel , saying `` Fiennes and Scott Thomas are perfectly matched '' , and he concluded by calling the film `` an exceptional achievement all around '' .

At school , he encounters Alyssa , a rebellious new schoolmate and decides that he will kill her next . He gets closer to her by feigning romantic interest and the two start dating . When Alyssa asks James to perform cunnilingus on her the next day , he begins preparing his knife and working out how he will kill her . However she arrives late as she was stuck at a party at her house where her stepfather tells her how it will be better if she just left . After this incident , she reaches James 's home later than planned , and blurts out her desire to leave town with or without him and asks if he is in , wanting him to say yes . Resolving that he could kill her later , he accepts and steals his father Phil 's car and punches him in the face , something he has always wanted to do . Episode 2 Jonathan Entwistle Charlie Covell 24 October 2017 ( 2017 - 10 - 24 ) With their newfound freedom , Alyssa and James go play laser tag but end up having to dine and dash at a restaurant after realising they have spent all their money . After crashing their car , they hitchhike in the van of Martin , a middle - aged man who Alyssa does not take kindly to . While in the toilets of the restaurant they have stopped at for food , Martin follows James and asks about his burnt hand , before smelling it and putting it on his crotch ; James is submissive , despite being disgusted by it . Alyssa sees this and blackmails Martin into giving her his wallet . After booking a hotel room , Alyssa goes to the bathroom and cries , while James waits with his knife by the door , hesitantly . He does not try to kill her . Alyssa calls home and her stepfather Tony answers . He denies her request to speak to her mother , Gwen , implying his dominance over her mother . Alyssa asks James whether he wants her or just goes along with her ; he replies that he wants her . She decides to go see her biological father , Leslie , who she has not seen since she was 8 years old and James agrees to join her . Episode 3 Jonathan Entwistle Charlie Covell 24 October 2017 ( 2017 - 10 - 24 ) After leaving the hotel , Alyssa argues against buying train tickets to her father 's house , internally fearing that he will not recognise or welcome her . The duo break into the spacious and empty house of author Clive Koch . Later that day , Alyssa attempts to give James a blowjob but leaves , angrily , when a picture of Koch puts him off . During her walk , Alyssa meets Topher and brings him to the house , vindictively announcing to James that she will have sex with Topher . Distraught , he looks around the house and finds Polaroids and a camcorder with footage of victims , revealing Koch to be a serial rapist . Meanwhile , Alyssa becomes disinterested in Topher and stops before intercourse . Topher leaves angrily . While Alyssa is asleep , James tries to kill her , but he can not because he knows he is falling in love with her . Koch returns home and suspecting a break - in , arms himself ; James hides under the bed . When Koch questions Alyssa upon finding her in bed , she lies and says she is alone . Koch becomes malevolent , attempting to rape her . James stabs him in the neck with a knife , killing Koch , and saving Alyssa . Episode 4 Jonathan Entwistle Charlie Covell 24 October 2017 ( 2017 - 10 - 24 ) After unsuccessfully trying to move Koch 's body out of the bedroom , James and Alyssa meticulously clean the house to remove evidence of their stay . James shows Alyssa the Polaroids and footage proving that Koch might have hurt her , and they resolve to leave the evidence by his body . James hides the knife in the pool drain . When she questions him about the knife , he does not answer . Koch 's mother , Flora , arrives at the house and discovers his body ; she destroys the Polaroids but not the footage . The police , led by detective constables Eunice Noon and Teri Darego , investigate and later question Topher where he reveals Alyssa 's and James 's identity and presence at the house . They decide to put out a request for sightings or crimes `` involving two teenagers '' while putting Alyssa and James on the Missing Persons list . Despite James 's attempts , Alyssa becomes distrustful of him and deserts him . He begins to realise the increasing influence of his emotions . Paying a group of teenagers to beat him up , he also realises his growing interest in her . James decides to report a murder to police , coming to the realization that he is not in fact a psychopath . 5 Episode 5 Jonathan Entwistle & Lucy Tcherniak Charlie Covell 24 October 2017 ( 2017 - 10 - 24 ) At the police station , James changes his mind about reporting Koch 's murder and instead describes his mother 's suicide as the `` murder '' he was referring to . In a flashback , his mother , Vanessa , killed herself in front of him eleven years before by driving her car into a pond . Thinking of Alyssa , James leaves the police station and returns to the cafe . Meanwhile , Phil is questioned by Noon and Darego about James , as well as informed about his car . He also confirms the inclusion of Alyssa . They also question Tony , who is rather nonchalant and self - absorbed , before moving to Gwen about Alyssa . Concurrently , Alyssa is caught by Emil , a security officer , while attempting to shoplift clean underwear , but is eventually let go . She returns to the cafe to find James waiting . Although without money , both reconcile and decide to go to Leslie . Meanwhile , investigators find James 's knife at Koch 's house . 6 Episode 6 Lucy Tcherniak Charlie Covell 24 October 2017 ( 2017 - 10 - 24 ) James hotwires a car and the duo begin making their way to Alyssa 's father 's house . They stop at a petrol station after running low on fuel . When Jocelyn , the petrol station manager , begins suspecting that they stole the car and have no money , James fakes carrying a gun to lock her in the toilet with the help of Jocelyn 's co-worker , Frodo . However , when he wants to join , they wait until he is distracted to dash . Noon and Donaghue question Flora again about Clive , this time with years - old accusations of sexual assault against him . She rejects the allegations as lies and insists that the two leave . On their way to Leslie 's , Alyssa calls Gwen and tells her that she will never return home . At the police station , Flora gives Noon the camcorder , having a change of heart . When Noon raises the possibility that the killing was in self - defence , Darego says that this would result in a count of manslaughter instead . After finding Leslie has moved out of his previous home , James and Alyssa eventually make it to his coastside mobile home . 7 Episode 7 Lucy Tcherniak Charlie Covell 24 October 2017 ( 2017 - 10 - 24 ) James gives Alyssa and Leslie space while they reconcile with each other . Leslie is revealed to be a drug dealer , as well as a non-conforming individual himself . Meanwhile , Tony , Gwen and Phil are emotionally shaken after being shown CCTV footage of the petrol station robbery . Both Darego and Noon plan for the police to stakeout Leslie 's former residence , assuming that both have not arrived . On the drive to Leslie 's former residence , it becomes clear that Darego 's law - abiding morality and stubbornness are clashing against Noon 's open - minded and sympathetic morals . As Alyssa and Leslie reconnect at a nearby bar , James begins feeling distant to Alyssa . At Leslie 's former residence , Debbie denies seeing the duo or knowing Leslie 's whereabouts to Noon and Darego . She goes to the bar to demand support for their illegitimate son , Milton . When questioned by Alyssa , Leslie takes off in his truck , running over a dog in the process . Although he has killed many animals before , James is unable to euthanise it with a rock ; Alyssa does it instead . Bitter , Debbie reveals to Noon Leslie 's location , later , and she drives there without Darego . Leslie sees a news report about Alyssa and James on the television . 8 Episode 8 Lucy Tcherniak Charlie Covell 24 October 2017 ( 2017 - 10 - 24 ) James and Alyssa bury the dog at the beach , then passionately and sincerely make out . At dawn , ruminating about their current situation , they decide to take the boat owned by Leslie and leave the country . When they ask Leslie for the boat keys , he reveals to them his knowledge of their crime then secretly calls 999 and tries to induce their confession . James deduces this and confesses while taking the blame upon himself . Noon , listening in , arrives at the scene and tries to convince both to be willingly arrested for manslaughter while Leslie tries to convince Alyssa to let James be arrested instead . Alyssa asks Noon if she were to go with her idea , would James and her still be together . When Noon tells that that would be unlikely , Alyssa knocks her out with Leslie 's shotgun , takes his boat keys and runs to the boat with James , only to find that the tide had gone out . With the police armed response unit closing in , James knocks Alyssa down with the gun in an attempt to take all the blame and runs across the beach . In a voiceover , James claims that he has realized what people mean to each other . A gunshot is heard as the episode then fades to black . Jump up ^ The first episode had a special premiere on Channel 4 alongside its release on All 4 with the rest of the programme . Production ( edit ) Development ( edit ) The series was based on the work of the same name by Charles Forsman . Originally self - published as a series of mini-comics , the series was published as a graphic novel by Fantagraphics Books in 2013 . It was republished in hardback in 2017 , in anticipation of the television series . While Forsman was publishing the mini-comics , Jonathan Entwistle contacted him about adapting it to a visual format -- the original idea was to make an American film , and later a web series was considered . A film was pitched to Film4 , and Entwistle was given funding for a short . Made in 2014 , it featured some cast and crew who continued their roles for the television series . Entwistle directed and Dominic Buchanan was producer ; Jessica Barden played Alyssa . However , instead of Alex Lawther , James was played by Craig Roberts . Though the short was well - received , no production companies wanted to invest in the idea as a full - length film . Entwistle and Buchanan decided to make a television series with Clerkenwell Films , following which Channel 4 and then Netflix became involved . Forsman had no official role in the show 's production , wanting to continue working on his comics , though Entwistle would regularly consult him and keep him updated . The programme 's plot differs from that of Forsman 's comics . In print , the children kill a satanist serial killer , whose wife was a police officer ; instead the television series features police officers Eunice Noon and Teri Darego , and does not show the serial killer to be a satanist . Another major difference is the ending of the graphic novel : the satanist police officer chases after James , and the two begin to attack each other , while police try to break up the fight . There is then a gunshot . In the final scene , Alyssa 's mother talks about her daughter being safe from James , while Alyssa is seen carving the name `` JAMES '' into her arm . Some critics interpreted this to mean that James was dead , but Forsman sees the ending as ambiguous . Filming ( edit ) The first series began filming in April 2017 and concluded a few weeks before the show 's release in October 2017 . Though filmed in England , the programme has an American tone to it ; Entwistle was inspired by Twin Peaks and Fargo . Episodes were filmed largely in suburban areas and across Surrey , with locations such as Woking , Bracknell and Longcross Studios . Another filming location was Leysdown - on - Sea on the Isle of Sheppey . Entwistle uses mostly close - up shots , particularly in early episodes where most frames feature only one character . He uses this for deadpan humour , by moving from face to face to get shots of characters ' reactions . The series is set in the present day , but Entwistle aimed to make it feel like it could have been set `` any time from 1988 to 2006 '' . Additionally , diners have a 1970s - style design , and the soundtrack features songs from the 1950s , 60s and 70s , along with original music from Graham Coxon , the founding member of Blur . Entwistle describes Coxon 's scores as `` guitar - based suburban noir '' , and notes that more of his music is used in later episodes for the police officers . Potential continuation ( edit ) The first series covered the entirety of the storyline in Forsman 's original comics . On 25 January 2018 , Jonathan Entwistle spoke of the potential for a second series . He confirmed that `` We 're exploring and we 're seeing what we can do to expand the world and see where we get to . '' Entwistle then went on to say that Netflix was enthusiastic about a second series of the show if one could be conceived . Writer Charlie Covell said `` I think there are a number of stories we could tell '' and that she would `` love to write more '' . Actor Alex Lawther stated in an interview that he would be `` very excited '' for a second series , as it would give Covell `` a chance to explore something from her imagination '' . Release ( edit ) The eight - part programme premiered its first episode on Channel 4 in the United Kingdom on 24 October 2017 , after which all eight episodes were released on All 4 . The End of the F * * * ing World was a co-production with Netflix who exclusively released it internationally on 5 January 2018 . On that weekend , sales of the graphic novel rose considerably , with Fantagraphics Books selling out of the current print run according to Forsman . Reception ( edit ) Critical response ( edit ) The End of the F * * * ing World ' currently holds an approval rating of 98 % on review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes based on 40 reviews , with an average rating of 8.21 / 10 . The site 's consensus states , `` Misanthropy and humor blend perfectly in this romantically nihilistic show that proves that falling in love can feel like The End of the F * * * ing World . '' Metacritic , which uses a weighted average , assigned a score of 81 out of 100 , based on 11 critics , indicating `` universal acclaim '' . Reviewer Daniel Fienberg of The Hollywood Reporter lauded the programme 's writing , characters , and soundtrack , as well as praising the performances of Alex Lawther and Jessica Barden , calling it a `` pitch - black , eight - episode comedy gem of a U.K. import . '' Kelly Lawler of USA Today called it `` batty fun , '' also praising Lawther and Barden 's performances while praising the programme 's surreal concept and execution .

Cardiac muscle is one of three major types of muscle , the others being skeletal and smooth muscle . These three types of muscle all form in the process of myogenesis . The cells that constitute cardiac muscle , called cardiomyocytes or myocardiocytes , predominantly contain only one nucleus , although populations with two to four nuclei do exist . The myocardium is the muscle tissue of the heart , and forms a thick middle layer between the outer epicardium layer and the inner endocardium layer . Coordinated contractions of cardiac muscle cells in the heart pump blood out of the atria and ventricles to the blood vessels of the left / body / systemic and right / lungs / pulmonary circulatory systems . This complex mechanism illustrates systole of the heart . Cardiac muscle cells , unlike most other tissues in the body , rely on an available blood and electrical supply to deliver oxygen and nutrients and remove waste products such as carbon dioxide . The coronary arteries help fulfill this function . Contents ( hide ) 1 Structure 1.1 Striation 1.2 T - tubules 1.3 Intercalated discs 2 Physiology 2.1 Regeneration 3 Clinical significance 4 See also 5 References 6 External links Structure ( edit ) Cardiac muscle Intercalated discs are part of the cardiac muscle sarcolemma and they contain gap junctions and desmosomes . 3D rendering showing thick myocardium within heart wall . Striation ( edit ) Cardiac muscle has cross striations formed by rotating segments of thick and thin protein filaments . Like skeletal muscle , the primary structural proteins of cardiac muscle are myosin and actin . The actin filaments are thin , causing the lighter appearance of the I bands in striated muscle , whereas the myosin filament is thicker , lending a darker appearance to the alternating A bands as observed with electron microscopy . However , in contrast to skeletal muscle , cardiac muscle cells are typically branch - like instead of linear . T - tubules ( edit ) Another histological difference between cardiac muscle and skeletal muscle is that the T - tubules in the cardiac muscle are bigger and wider and track laterally to the Z - discs . There are fewer T - tubules in comparison with skeletal muscle . The diad is a structure in the cardiac myocyte located at the sarcomere Z - line . It is composed of a single T - tubule paired with a terminal cisterna of the sarcoplasmic reticulum . The diad plays an important role in excitation - contraction coupling by juxtaposing an inlet for the action potential near a source of Ca ions . This way , the wave of depolarization can be coupled to calcium - mediated cardiac muscle contraction via the sliding filament mechanism . Cardiac muscle forms these instead of the triads formed between the sarcoplasmic reticulum in skeletal muscle and T - tubules . T - tubules play critical role in excitation - contraction coupling ( ECC ) . Recently , the action potentials of T - tubules were recorded optically by Guixue Bu et al . Intercalated discs ( edit ) Main article : Intercalated disc The cardiac syncytium is a network of cardiomyocytes connected to each other by intercalated discs that enable the rapid transmission of electrical impulses through the network , enabling the syncytium to act in a coordinated contraction of the myocardium . There is an atrial syncytium and a ventricular syncytium that are connected by cardiac connection fibres . Electrical resistance through intercalated discs is very low , thus allowing free diffusion of ions . The ease of ion movement along cardiac muscle fibers axes is such that action potentials are able to travel from one cardiac muscle cell to the next , facing only slight resistance . Each syncytium obeys the all or none law . Intercalated discs are complex adhering structures that connect the single cardiomyocytes to an electrochemical syncytium ( in contrast to the skeletal muscle , which becomes a multicellular syncytium during mammalian embryonic development ) . The discs are responsible mainly for force transmission during muscle contraction . Intercalated discs consist of three different types of cell - cell junctions : the actin filament anchoring adherens junctions , the intermediate filament anchoring desmosomes , and gap junctions . They allow action potentials to spread between cardiac cells by permitting the passage of ions between cells , producing depolarization of the heart muscle . However , novel molecular biological and comprehensive studies unequivocally showed that intercalated discs consist for the most part of mixed - type adhering junctions named area composita ( pl . areae compositae ) representing an amalgamation of typical desmosomal and fascia adhaerens proteins ( in contrast to various epithelia ) . The authors discuss the high importance of these findings for the understanding of inherited cardiomyopathies ( such as arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy ) . Under light microscopy , intercalated discs appear as thin , typically dark - staining lines dividing adjacent cardiac muscle cells . The intercalated discs run perpendicular to the direction of muscle fibers . Under electron microscopy , an intercalated disc 's path appears more complex . At low magnification , this may appear as a convoluted electron dense structure overlying the location of the obscured Z - line . At high magnification , the intercalated disc 's path appears even more convoluted , with both longitudinal and transverse areas appearing in longitudinal section . Physiology ( edit ) Main article : Excitation - contraction coupling The physiology of cardiac muscle shares many similarities with that of skeletal muscle . The primary function of both muscle types is to contract , and in both cases a contraction begins with a characteristic flow of ions across the cell membrane known as an action potential . The action potential subsequently triggers muscle contraction by increasing the concentration of calcium within the cytosol . However , the mechanism by which calcium concentrations within the cytosol rise differ between skeletal and cardiac muscle . In cardiac muscle , the action potential comprises an inward flow of both sodium and calcium ions . The flow of sodium ions is rapid but very short - lived , while the flow of calcium is sustained and gives the plateau phase characteristic of cardiac muscle action potentials . The comparatively small flow of calcium through the L - type calcium channels triggers a much larger release of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum in a phenomenon known as calcium - induced calcium release . In contrast , in skeletal muscle , minimal calcium flows into the cell during action potential and instead the sarcoplasmic reticulum in these cells is directly coupled to the surface membrane . This difference can be illustrated by the observation that cardiac muscle fibres require calcium to be present in the solution surrounding the cell in order to contract , while skeletal muscle fibres will contract without extracellular calcium . During contraction of a cardiac muscle cell , the long protein myofilaments oriented along the length of the slide over each other in what is known as the sliding filament hypothesis . There are two kinds of myofilaments , thick filaments composed of the protein myosin , and thin filaments composed of the proteins actin , troponin and tropomyosin . As the thick and thin filaments slide past each other the cell becomes shorter and fatter . In a mechanism known as crossbridge cycling , calcium ions bind to the protein troponin , which along with tropomyosin then uncover key binding sites on actin . Myosin , in the thick filament , can then bind to actin , pulling the thick filaments along the thin filaments . When the concentration of calcium within the cell falls , troponin and tropomyosin once again cover the binding sites on actin , causing the cell to relax . Regeneration ( edit ) Dog cardiac muscle ( 400X ) Until recently , it was commonly believed that cardiac muscle cells could not be regenerated . However , a study reported in the April 3 , 2009 issue of Science contradicts that belief . Olaf Bergmann and his colleagues at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm tested samples of heart muscle from people born before 1955 who had very little cardiac muscle around their heart , many showing with disabilities from this abnormality . By using DNA samples from many hearts , the researchers estimated that a 4 - year - old renews about 20 % of heart muscle cells per year , and about 69 percent of the heart muscle cells of a 50 - year - old were generated after he or she was born . One way that cardiomyocyte regeneration occurs is through the division of pre-existing cardiomyocytes during the normal aging process . The division process of pre-existing cardiomyocytes has also been shown to increase in areas adjacent to sites of myocardial injury . In addition , certain growth factors promote the self - renewal of endogenous cardiomyocytes and cardiac stem cells . For example , insulin - like growth factor 1 , hepatocyte growth factor , and high - mobility group protein B1 increase cardiac stem cell migration to the affected area , as well as the proliferation and survival of these cells . Some members of the fibroblast growth factor family also induce cell - cycle re-entry of small cardiomyocytes . Vascular endothelial growth factor also plays an important role in the recruitment of native cardiac cells to an infarct site in addition to its angiogenic effect . Based on the natural role of stem cells in cardiomyocyte regeneration , researchers and clinicians are increasingly interested in using these cells to induce regeneration of damaged tissue . Various stem cell lineages have been shown to be able to differentiate into cardiomyocytes , including bone marrow stem cells . For example , in one study , researchers transplanted bone marrow cells , which included a population of stem cells , adjacent to an infarct site in a mouse model . Nine days after surgery , the researchers found a new band of regenerating myocardium . However , this regeneration was not observed when the injected population of cells was devoid of stem cells , which strongly suggests that it was the stem cell population that contributed to the myocardium regeneration . Other clinical trials have shown that autologous bone marrow cell transplants delivered via the infarct - related artery decreases the infarct area compared to patients not given the cell therapy . Clinical significance ( edit ) Occlusion ( blockage ) of the coronary arteries by atherosclerosis and / or thrombosis can lead to myocardial infarction ( heart attack ) , where part of the myocardium is injured due to ischemia ( not receiving enough oxygen ) . This occurs because coronary arteries are functional end arteries - i.e. there is almost no overlap in the areas supplied by different arteries ( anastomoses ) so that if one fails , others can not adequately perfuse the region , unlike in other tissues . Certain viruses lead to myocarditis ( inflammation of the myocardium ) . Cardiomyopathies are inherent diseases of the myocardium , many of which are caused by genetic mutations .

D. ( born Joy Keenan ) is a fictional character portrayed by Emily Deschanel in the American Fox television series Bones . An anthropologist , forensic anthropologist , and kinesiologist , she is described in the series as a leading authority in the field of forensic anthropology . Brennan first appeared on television , along with other series characters , in the `` Pilot '' episode of Bones on September 13 , 2005 . She is the main protagonist of the series along with FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth ( David Boreanaz ) . Brennan is loosely based on author Kathy Reichs . Her name originates from the heroine in Reichs 's crime novel series , also named Temperance Brennan . The main similarity the two share is their occupation as forensic anthropologists . Brennan appeared in Comcast 's list of TV 's Most Intriguing Characters . She was included in AfterEllen.com 's Top 50 Favorite Female TV Characters . Her relationship with Seeley Booth was listed in Entertainment Weekly 's `` 30 Best ' Will They / Wo n't They ? ' TV Couples '' . Contents ( hide ) 1 Character history 1.1 Family and early life 2 Characterization 3 Relationships 3.1 Seeley Booth 3.2 Tim `` Sully '' Sullivan 4 References 5 Further reading Character history ( edit ) Temperance `` Bones '' Brennan is a forensic anthropologist who works in the Medico - Legal lab at the Jeffersonian Institute in Washington , D.C. She received her Ph. D. from Northwestern University , as stated in `` The Girl in the Fridge '' . She has three doctorates , as referred to by Dr. Jack Hodgins in the episode `` The Parts of the Sum in the Whole '' , in anthropology , forensic anthropology and kinesiology ; it is implied that most of her work at the lab was related to either long - dead bodies or victims of genocide . Her occasional contract work for the FBI shifted the focus of her work . She was paired with FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth , and helped to solve two difficult cases ; since then , they have worked together almost exclusively on modern - day murder cases . Brennan works with a group of other well - qualified colleagues , including the entomologist Jack Hodgins , her boss and forensic pathologist Camille Saroyan , forensic artist Angela Montenegro , and a host of eager graduate students . Booth refers to her crew of colleagues as `` squints '' , because they come to crime scenes and squint at evidence . He is also responsible for her nickname , `` Bones '' , which she initially detested . In the first - season finale ( which aired on May 17 , 2006 ) , Brennan stated that she was born in 1976 , which would have made her either 29 or 30 ( approximately the same age as Deschanel , who was born on October 11 , 1976 ) . In the fifth - season episode `` The Death of the Queen Bee '' ( which aired nearly four years later , on April 15 , 2010 ) , it is implied that her then - current age was 33 years ( based on Brennan 's identification of a former high school classmate as the victim and statement that the classmate was 33 ) . First mentioned in season 1 , Brennan has a love of dolphins , which she shared with her late mother : in the season one finale , `` The Woman in Limbo '' , Brennan examines a custom - made belt with a dolphin on the buckle , which had belonged to her mother , and which she mentions having once borrowed without asking first . Brennan 's love of dolphins is highlighted again in season 2 episodes `` The Titan on the Tracks '' , `` The Killer in the Concrete '' and `` Stargazer in a Puddle '' , when she mentions the constellation Delphinus , ( the Dolphin ) , her and her mother 's favorite . In season 6 , `` The Doctor in the Photo '' , she is shown to wear a dolphin ring . In `` Mummy in the Maze '' , Brennan exhibited ophidiophobia when confronted with snakes , but later only shows a moment of fright when confronted with another snake in `` The Mastodon in the Room '' . She takes note of this , voicing her observation that she only seems to lose her head around snakes when Booth is also `` there to be jumped upon '' , and also she mentions that she once had a pet snake during high school . It should also be noted that , in `` The Man in the Morgue , '' Brennan handled a snake without any trace of fear , even while Booth is in the room . In season one , in `` A Man on Death Row '' , Dr. Brennan expresses her stance on the death penalty ; `` I believe in the death penalty . There are certain people who should n't be in this world . The people who hacked hundreds of innocent children to death in Rwanda ; beheaded them at their desks at school ! The people who did that , they should be executed . '' In `` The Woman at the Airport '' , Dr. Brennan is shown to have a strong dislike for plastic surgeons , believing them to be no more than `` glorified butchers with medical degrees '' , and this dislike is voiced again in season 4 , in `` Cinderella in the Cardboard '' . In `` The Woman in the Car '' , Dr. Brennan reveals that her third doctorate is in kinesiology , a field that would allow her and Angela to unravel how one of the bodies that had been found had been killed . In season two , she expressed the desire to get a pet pig , whom she would have named `` Jasper '' . Brennan 's expertise in kinesiology would again prove its worth in `` The Truth in the Lye '' ( she could tell that one of the murder suspects was pregnant just from having observed her gait ) , in `` The Girl with the Curl '' ( she could tell if one of the young beauty pageant contestants was suffering from scoliosis just by watching them perform on stage ) , and in `` The Woman in the Sand '' ( while undercover with Booth , she was able to tell Booth exactly how to beat his opponent from just having watched his moves ) . In `` Judas on a Pole '' , she and her brother are identified as having the same blood type , blood type O. In `` Glowing Bones in the Old Stone House '' , she is shown to be a good cook : Booth 's comment on her mac and cheese is that he 'd `` like to be alone with it '' . In the season 3 episode , `` Mummy in the Maze '' , it is revealed that Brennan 's favorite superhero is Wonder Woman , and that she always goes as Wonder Woman to the Jeffersonian 's Halloween party . In `` The Baby in the Bough '' , it is revealed that Brennan is a registered foster parent , at her brother 's request , to take in his stepdaughters in case anything should happen to him and his girlfriend . In the season 3 episode , `` Intern in the Incinerator '' , Booth reveals that Brennan 's favorite flower is a Daffodil , her second favorite flower is a Daisy , and her favorite planet is Jupiter . In season 5 , in `` The Death of the Queen Bee '' , when asked if she 'd had a pet rat , Brennan discloses that she , in fact , had a pet mouse , snake and some spiders . During her time at Burtonsville high school , her only friend was the school custodian , Ray Buxley , with whom she would enjoy long , in - depth conversations on life and death , and who would also provide her with dead animals to dissect ( Brennan having set out to become a forensic anthropologist , ) and who would later be one of her books ' biggest fans ( she having named the killer in her first book , Bred in the Bone , after him ) . According to the Burtonsville high school on - line yearbook entry on Brennan , in her senior year , she was a member of the Chemistry club and Math club , her interests were chemistry and mathematics , and she was a National Merit Scholar and an Academic All Star . In the season 6 episode , `` The Blackout in the Blizzard '' , Brennan mentions her pet iguana for the first time . This same episode show that one of the number of scientific publications that Brennan reads is Medicinal Physics Quarterly , with one article on electrostatics and triboluminescence proving useful during the lab 's power outage . Further concerning her pet iguana in `` The Truth in the Myth '' , as a part of his rehab from alcohol abuse , Vincent Nigel - Murry made apologies for , among other things , having borrowed her iguana one night , wearing him as a hat for a party . She comments that he must have taken good care of her iguana as she has observed nothing wrong with him and further expresses some surprise that Vincent Nigel - Murry was able to get her iguana to stay perched atop his head , to which he replies that he was good with ribbons . In season 8 , `` The Tiger in the Tale '' , Booth mentions to Sweets that Dr. Brennan once took Peyote with Native Americans . In season 11 , `` The Senator in the Street Sweeper '' , Dr. Brennan is mentioned to be a member of the Green Party of the United States along with Dr. Hodgins . Family and early life ( edit ) Although Brennan seemed to have a relatively normal childhood , her parents disappeared when she was 15 years old . Her older brother Russ , himself still an adolescent , was unable to care for her and she was put in the foster care system . By the time she started college she had been to twelve different schools and has specifically said that she hated the lack of consistency . There has been contradictory evidence about her time in the system ; in one episode , Brennan stated that her grandfather got her out of the foster system , but in a later episode , she indicates that she never knew her grandparents ( possibly the two references are to two separate sets of grandparents , paternal and maternal ) . However , taking into consideration the fact that Brennan 's parents had assumed new identities when she was 3 - years - old , the grandfather who had taken her in from her time in the foster system may not have been her biological grandfather . Her time in foster care was quite traumatic and abusive ; Brennan indicated that she was once locked in the trunk of a car for two days because she broke a plate , and in the episode `` The Finger in the Nest '' , she reveals to Booth that she walked into her elderly neighbor 's house to find the woman dead . In the same episode , she also mentions to Booth that her parents were very concerned about her afterwards , because she started faking her own death . In Season 2 , she mentions that during her time in the foster care system , she kept a list of foster homes she had been kicked out of on the bottom of her shoe . In the first season she hands Booth the file on her parents ' disappearance and he agrees to look into it as a personal favor . It is later revealed in Season 2 that her parents , who were bank robbers specializing in safety deposit boxes , changed the family 's identity after they stole some damaging FBI documents regarding the murder of an FBI agent and the false imprisonment of civil rights activist Marvin Beckett . Brennan 's birth name was Joy Keenan . Her mother ( real name Ruth Keenan , known under the assumed identity of Christine Brennan ) had hoped to someday return to her children and family , but made a tape for Brennan to watch on her 16th birthday in case that never happened . Brennan later discovered that Ruth / Christine was murdered in 1993 , two years after she and her husband went on the run . Her father Max Keenan re-entered Brennan 's life when she and her brother were being threatened by an old acquaintance , who turned out to be Booth 's boss , Deputy Director Kirby . Max evades capture after killing Kirby , and takes Russ into hiding to protect him . Later , Max allows Booth to arrest him in order to improve his relationship with his daughter . At trial , Max is acquitted of murdering Director Kirby ( due in large part to a defense Booth indirectly came up with , positing an alternate theory of the crime in which Temperance was the killer instead , creating reasonable doubt ) , and he begins to rebuild his life . He temporarily works at the Jeffersonian as a guide for children visiting the place and demonstrates his brilliant talent as a former science teacher . However , Brennan is concerned about a convicted felon having access to a lab that investigates crimes . Max also introduces Brennan to her cousin Margaret Whitesell , portrayed by Deschanel 's real - life sister Zooey Deschanel . Brennan is best friends with her coworker , Angela , saying in the 6th - season premiere she loves Angela `` like a sister '' and is going to be an aunt to Hodgins ' and Angela 's newborn child . It is revealed at the end of the season six finale `` The Change in the Game '' that Brennan is pregnant and the father is Booth . In Season 7 , episode 2 `` The Hot Dog in the Competition '' , Brennan and Booth found out they were having a baby girl . Their daughter , Christine Angela Booth ( named for Brennan 's mother and her best friend ) , was born in a stable during the episode `` The Prisoner in the Pipe '' . In the Season 7 finale , `` The Past in the Present '' , key evidence in the death of her friend , Ethan Sawyer , is linked to Brennan . Max convinces her to go on the run along with Christine , saying that if she is arrested , even if she is found innocent , she may never see her daughter again . In Season 8 premiere , it is revealed that while on the run , Brennan was communicating with Angela , via flowers , and eventually used this as a way to communicate with Booth . Despite being on the run , Brennan risks her safety and decides to meet directly with Booth in a hotel room after months of being a single mother . Eventually , they arrest Christopher Pelant , who was the real murderer of Ethan Sawyer , and Brennan is allowed to return to her family . Although Pelant blackmails Booth to prevent him from accepting Brennan 's proposal by threatening to kill five innocent people if Booth accepted , also warning Booth not to give a reason for his refusal , this threat is removed when the team manage to kill Pelant , and Booth and Brennan marry in the Season 9 episode ' The Woman in White ' . In the Season 10 episode , `` The Eye in the Sky '' , Brennan learns that she is pregnant with her and Booth 's second child . Characterization ( edit ) Throughout the course of the series , Brennan is portrayed as a straightforward , brilliant anthropologist , who lacks social skills . Her social ineptitude is especially apparent when it comes to sarcasm , metaphors which she often interprets literally , and pop culture jokes and is often the source of comedy in the show . An example of this is when she mistakes Colin Farrell for Will Ferrell . In earlier seasons , she was characterized as straightforward and unable to detect social cues -- she states that Booth once told her that she `` stinks at non-verbal communication '' -- and was well - known within the FBI for being extremely difficult to work with . She began to acknowledge her lack of sensitivity after Booth bluntly told her outright that she was `` bad with people '' in `` A Boy in a Tree '' . Her lack of `` political savvy '' and social skills was also a reason why she was passed over for Dr. Camille Saroyan as head of the Jeffersonian in Season 2 . Other characters have described her as `` no fun '' and `` a rigid traditionalist '' . She had a difficult adolescence , and it is implied , often by Sweets , that her withdrawn social tendencies are a defense mechanism . She also sometimes struggles in identifying and explaining her emotions , and takes comfort in the rationality of her anthropological discipline . Although it has been stated that Brennan was based on a person with Asperger syndrome , this has never been confirmed in the plot of the series . The creator of the series has stated that the character was never labeled as having the syndrome in order to increase the appeal of the show on network television . This influence on her character also helps to explain her extreme rationality in early seasons , as well as some of her social difficulties . Brennan is a self - proclaimed atheist and often points out what she believes to be the irrationality of religious and spiritual beliefs . This has led to more than one argument with Booth , who is a devout Roman Catholic ; he becomes particularly irate when she compares less common religions , such as voodoo , to Christianity . During the Sleepy Hollow crossover episode `` Dead Men Tell No Tales '' , Sleepy Hollow protagonist Ichabod Crane notes that Brennan is so sceptical that she would dismiss the demon Moloch -- the primary antagonist in the first two seasons of Sleepy Hollow -- as nothing more than a tall man with a skin condition , although this does leave him reassured that she will not realise the nature of the secret tomb they have uncovered underneath the White House . Brennan is a bestselling author , who has been on the New York Times Best Seller List for 18 weeks . She is trained in three types of martial arts , has hunting licenses in four states , and has a legally registered gun as well as a diving certificate . She promised to consider becoming a vegetarian after seeing how pigs were slaughtered ( which was also the way her mother had been killed ) . However , in `` The Tough Man in the Tender Chicken '' ( season 5 , episode 6 ) Angela cites health reasons for Brennan 's vegetarian diet . Brennan is also a trained amateur highwire performer , and speaks at least seven other languages , including Spanish , French , Latin , Chinese , Pashto Japanese , Norwegian ( although she says only `` skull '' and avers that , as a forensic anthropologist , this is a word she knows `` in just about every language '' ) , Farsi , and German . She has also admitted to knowing a bit of Russian . She often says she does not `` put much stock in psychology '' and makes a point of noting that Dr. Sweets is not a real scientist as he `` bases his life on the vagary of psychology and emotions '' . Brennan 's personality undergoes significant changes throughout the course of the series . Her thinking becomes less rigid in later seasons , something which is observed by Dr. Gordon Wyatt , who notes that she is now able to distinguish the difference between accuracy and truth . In season 4 , Booth takes her along to his interrogations and helps her learn how to set aside her scientific perspective and relate with the victim 's family and suspects on a more interpersonal level . She is also able to put aside her rationality to support her friends in sometimes irrational pursuits , such as Angela 's quest to raise money to save a pig from slaughter , and to comfort Booth , even using science or quoting directly from the Bible to rationalize his religious beliefs . Her sensitivity and empathy towards others are also much improved , seen quite strongly when she comforts his grandfather , and when she attends a funeral so that the victim 's single mother wo n't be alone . She also displays more `` typical '' human emotions when in extreme stress . One example of this is her fear of snakes in `` The Mummy in the Maze , '' when a girl is in the process of being scared to death in a room , the floor teeming with snakes . This goes against her empirical nature , as , when Booth tells her that the snakes are n't venomous , she states that she is aware , but still refuses to step in the room , causing Booth to carry her on his back . Brennan begins to feel both dissatisfaction and discomfort with her work toward the end of the fifth season . She also sees some futility in her work , stating that no matter how many killers they catch , there will always be more . To help her gain new perspective , she later decides to head up an anthropological expedition to Indonesia for a year to identify some ancient proto - human remains , after mulling it over during the episode . However , 7 months later , she and everyone else return to D.C. in order to save Cam 's job , and they all decide to stay . As season 6 progresses , Brennan must confront her feelings for Booth , whom she rejected in the 100th episode from the previous season . Having returned from 7 months of introspection , she has come to terms with her romantic affection towards him , even admitting that she regretted not having given them a chance together , midway through the season . However , Booth returns from Afghanistan with a new love interest , war correspondent Hannah Burley , whom Brennan befriends . When Hannah rejects Booth 's marriage proposal , Brennan must help him through the emotional fallout . In the second to last episode of season 6 Booth and Brennan had sex , consummating their relationship , and it is revealed in the last few moments of the season finale that as a result , Brennan has become pregnant , with Booth the father . Throughout the episode ( `` The Change in the Game '' ) Brennan has been seen asking Angela questions and making comments that make her seem excited and apprehensive ; when she sees that Booth is happy with the news , she also seems overjoyed . This reflects her earlier desire to become a mother , circa season 4 , as well as her desire that Booth be the father of the baby . In the Season 8 episode `` The Shot in the Dark '' , Brennan is shot while working in the lab late at night . While undergoing emergency surgery , she experiences a vision of meeting with her deceased mother , Christine Brennan . Initially dismissing this as a hallucination , Brennan experiences several more visions throughout the episode . During these discussions , it 's revealed that Brennan 's hyper rationalization originates from the very last piece of advice her mother gave to her ( before going on the run ) which was to use her brain instead of her heart . While that advice enabled Brennan to survive all these years , the vision of her mother explains , it 's now time for Brennan to do more than just survive . Since entering a relationship with and marrying Booth and then having children , the character has undergone development personally and is shown to be a caring wife and protective mother . She would often put aside her own atheistic views and uses her hyper - rationality to justify Booth 's religious beliefs , as shown in season 8 where she references the Bible in order to persuade Booth to forgive his mother and in the season finale where she agrees to a church wedding , rationalizing that she could appreciate the `` beauty '' of the ceremony and its significance to Booth . Relationships ( edit ) Brennan has had a number of relatively short relationships , including an ill - fated date with a man who turned out to be a murderer and the re-kindling of a romance with her former thesis supervisor . She has stated that although she does not always feel the need for a committed emotional relationship , she has engaged in casual relationships to `` satisfy biological urges '' . In one episode , she was spending time with two men , one for his intelligence and the other for his sexual skills . In Season 5 , episode `` The Plain in the Prodigy '' , she tells Booth she lost her virginity at the age of 22 and when asked why she waited so long , she said it was because the decision was `` important to her '' . FBI psychologist Lance Sweets postulates in a number of episodes that Brennan 's apprehension over having relationships is largely due in part to the abandonment and abuse she experienced as a teenager after her parents disappeared . It is said that she `` hides '' herself behind a front of hyper - rationalism and she always keeps people at arms ' length , except for those closest to her ( namely FBI partner Seeley Booth and best friend Angela Montenegro ) . After much character growth , Temperance Brennan is now married to her principal love interest of the series Seeley Booth , and they have a daughter ( Season 7 ) and a son together . Seeley Booth ( edit ) FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth is Brennan 's husband and partner , and the principal liaison between the Jeffersonian and law enforcement agencies . Prior to their marriage , he is also Brennan 's principal love interest throughout the series . Although his working style initially clashed with Brennan 's , they have since become full - fledged partners . Their compatibility has become one of the central points of the show , with many new characters mistaking them for a couple and co-workers , especially Angela , constantly speculating that they were `` more than partners '' . Booth and Brennan have repeatedly risked their safety to save each other , including when Booth took a bullet meant for Brennan . After Booth rescues Brennan from the corrupt Agent Kenton , Booth lifts her off the hook she was hung on by putting her tied hands around his neck even though he himself was severely injured . In `` Two Bodies in the Lab '' , in season 1 , and in `` The Rocker in the Rinse Cycle '' , in season 5 , Brennan and Booth 's mutual love for Foreigner 's Hot Blooded is mentioned ; Booth even refers to it as ' their song ' in `` The Rocker in the Rinse Cycle '' . Brennan once commented to Dr. Gordon Wyatt ( Stephen Fry ) that she `` ( could n't ) think of anything ( she ) would n't do to help Booth . '' Brennan 's novels are also dedicated to him and the character Special Agent Andy Lister is based on him even though she still denies it . Initially Brennan was mostly dismissive of Booth due to their opposing worldviews and work styles -- which is a source of friction and banter between them . Although she refused to admit it at first , Brennan enjoyed working with him from the beginning , even after their falling out when Booth got her drunk and `` fired '' her , and , in Season 1 , she cajoled him into launching an investigation after finding three bone fragments on a golf course so he could work with the Jeffersonian team on the case despite the fact that the FBI technically had no jurisdiction . She often unknowingly offends him on a number of occasions during the first few seasons with her tactlessness , only realizing after being gently admonished by Angela or another member of the team . She comes to admire his ability to connect with people and read behavioral cues when interrogating suspects after coming to terms with her own lack of social skills . After finding out about his abusive childhood and haunted past in the Army , she also begins to respect him as a person . Booth , who is particularly taciturn in revealing emotions or speaking about his past , begins to open up to and confide in her . Since entering a relationship with ( and eventually marrying ) Booth , she is shown to be extremely supportive of him , even at the expense of her friendship with Angela . Additionally , she put aside her own misgivings several times for Booth 's benefit ; for example , she agrees to have Christine christened into the Catholic church and referenced the Bible when trying to talk Booth into forgiving his mother . Brennan acquired the nickname `` Bones '' from Booth . She initially disliked it but comes to regard it with affection . Booth and his son Parker are the only characters in the show she permits to use it and the former rarely addresses her by her first name or `` Tempe '' . In Season 2 Brennan shot and killed a person for the first time while working on a string of murders connected to serial killer Howard Epps . She was forced to pull the trigger after Epps ' accomplice attacked and injured Booth with a pipe . At the end of the episode she confides in Booth of her conflicted feelings and finds comfort in the fact that Booth understood how she felt . The relationship between Brennan and Booth has often become strained when either partner has a significant other . For example , Booth was quite irritable when Brennan dated Agent Sully , and their relationship was also strained when Booth 's brother Jared was showing an interest in Brennan . Brennan constantly needled Booth while he was dating Tessa . When Brennan decided that she wanted to have a baby , she asked Booth if he would be the sperm donor . He agrees to Brennan 's request at first , but subsequently struggles with the thought of not being involved in the life of his prospective child . Eventually he tells Brennan he can not let her have his child if he is not allowed to be a father to it . Soon thereafter , it is discovered that he has a ( benign ) brain tumour . He has to undergo surgery , and though the surgery is successful , a poor reaction to anesthesia left him in a coma for several days . While in his coma , Brennan reads to him from her new novel , and he has an elaborate dream in which Brennan is his wife and that she is pregnant , and that the staff at the Jeffersonian play the characters in the novel . When he awakens , he initially suffers from amnesia , not recognizing Brennan . Although for the majority of the series Booth and Brennan denied that their relationship was anything more than friendly professionalism , they admitted to Dr. Sweets that they kissed and nearly spent the night together after their very first case together . After this discussion , Booth attempted to convince Brennan to give a relationship a try . However , she declined , telling him that she , unlike him , is not a gambler , and is n't able to take that kind of a chance . They have subsequently attempted to date other people , although the fact that Booth once comments that he regards Brennan as his `` standard '' for other women suggests that he , at least , has not completely moved on . Brennan does admit to her best friend Angela Montenegro that as time has gone on , she is unsure if she wants to keep doing consulting work for the FBI , citing that she is tired of murderers and victims , and is constantly worried that something will happen to Booth and she will be unable to save him . In the climax of Season Five , Brennan and Booth part ways for a year -- he goes to Afghanistan while she leaves for the Maluku Islands in Indonesia -- but they promise to meet , one year from that day , at the Lincoln Memorial . In the beginning of season six ( 7 months later ) , they reunite in the stated place . Booth came back from Afghanistan , along with everyone else from various places , to help save Cam 's job . They all decided to stay . Booth has a serious new girlfriend , Hannah , and despite the hints of her colleagues at Brennan 's unconscious jealousy of their relationship , she vehemently denies feeling uncomfortable with the new situation . Through subsequent episodes her jealousy and resentfulness began becoming more apparent as Hannah and Booth started becoming more serious . In the episode `` The Doctor in the Photo '' , Brennan realizes she is in love with Booth and confronts him , but she is let down when Booth says that he loves Hannah and she is not a `` consolation prize '' , prompting Brennan to conclude that she has missed her chance , later reflecting that she should move on . In episode 10 of the sixth season `` The Body in the Bag '' , Booth tells his girlfriend about the incident , stating that it ( his love for Temperance ) was all in the past and whatever he felt , he does not feel it anymore , except for Hannah . However it was clear in the following episode that he still has feelings for Brennan . Despite her apparent resolve to move on , Brennan later showed sorrow when her father noted that he always thought she and Booth would end up together . During a subsequent case involving a polygamist who would spend the night with his first wife on the night he was scheduled to sleep alone , Booth commented that , while you can love several people , there is only ever one person you love the most , prompting Brennan to ask what happens when you push that person away , something Booth answered saying that it never truly leaves , adding further weight to the implication that he still has feelings for Brennan . Following Hannah 's departure , the two have begun to reconnect , to the point that , during a case that saw the two trapped in an elevator during a blackout for several hours , Booth and Brennan admitted that they are each interested in a relationship , but require more time to sort out their own feelings before they make such a commitment . In episode 22 of season 6 , `` The Hole in the Heart '' , which saw the death of Vincent Nigel - Murray ( Brennan 's favorite intern ) at the hands of renegade sniper Jacob Broadsky , Booth has Brennan stay at his apartment for her safety . Later that night , Brennan , still overcome with shock and grief over Vincent 's death , goes into Booth 's bedroom and they talk about the events of that day , and then allows Booth to hold her in bed . It is implied in the following day that they had sex . In the last scene of the season 6 finale , `` The Change in the Game '' , after the birth of Angela and Hodgins ' son , Brennan tells Booth that she is pregnant and that he is the father . At the start of Season 7 , a very pregnant Brennan and Booth are a couple but are going back and forth between apartments . Booth suggests that they should have their own place , whereas Brennan wants Booth to move into her apartment . It causes a minor rift between them , but is resolved when Booth admits why he wants to move into a new house and Brennan having some time to think over it says it 's a good idea because she 'd need him practically , emotionally and sexually . In episode 6 , `` The Crack in the Code , '' they decide to buy a two - story house in the suburbs -- which they jokingly called `` The Mighty Hut '' -- that Booth found at a police auction and renovate it , ( according to a mailed check sent to Brennan in `` The Heiress in the Hill '' , in season 9 , the `` Mighty Hut '' 's address is `` 1297 Janus Street , Washington DC , 20002 '' ) . In episode 7 , `` The Prisoner in the Pipe '' , Brennan goes into labor inside a prison just as she discovers who killed in an inmate there and Booth rushes her out with the intention to take her to the nearest hospital , but they both know she wo n't make it in time . This leads them to driving to an inn close to the prison . At first , they are rejected and are told to leave , but after some desperate pleading from an agonized Brennan , the two of them are led to a stall where she gives birth to their daughter , Christine Angela Booth ( named after Temperance 's mother , Christine Brennan , and Temperance 's best friend Angela Montenegro ) . Some time after the delivery , Temperance and Seeley both go back to their home where they celebrate with their friends from the Jeffersonian , who brought dinners that would last a few nights as well as a few baby supplies . In `` The Past in the Present '' , Brennan becomes the prime suspect in the murder of her schizophrenic friend , Ethan Sawyer , after supposedly threatening to kill Christine . Max advises Brennan to get off the grid and go into hiding , but she and Booth do not follow up at this suggestion . However , at the end of the episode , after Christine is christened in a Catholic church , it is revealed Brennan decided to take her father 's advice and flee with her daughter until her name is cleared . Just before Brennan flees town with Christine , she tells Booth she loves him and not just because of their daughter . After she is cleared of Sawyer 's murder , Brennan , Booth and Christine resume their family life . At the end of Season 8 , Brennan finally decides to marry Booth . However , their plans are ruined when a vengeful Christopher Pelant blackmails Booth , threatening to kill five random people if Booth marries Brennan . Booth calls off the wedding , but does not explain the real reason to Brennan . Brennan is devastated but pretends to be fine with this . In the season 9 premiere , Brennan fears that since Booth turned down her proposal , she fears that the love from their life is fading . After talking with bartender Aldo Clemens , a former priest and Army chaplain Booth confessed to , she realizes that it was uncharacteristic for Booth to suddenly cancel the wedding as he believed in marriage and that he likely had a legitimate reason to do so . Despite her colleagues ' anger at Booth , she decides to stay with him , telling him that she understands that he has his reasons and has faith that he will resolve the issue . In the episode 4 , `` The Sense in the Sacrifice '' , after Booth singlehandedly tracks Pelant down through an abandoned building and kills him with a single gunshot , he reveals to her that Pelant had blackmailed him . Pelant had threatened to kill five innocent people if Booth continued with the wedding or went to the police or FBI . At the end of the episode he proposes and she happily accepts ; unknown to them , Caroline , Angela and Hodgins witnessed it via the security cameras . In `` The Woman in White '' , Booth and Brennan marry at a small garden ceremony outside the Jeffersonian . Tim `` Sully '' Sullivan ( edit ) Brennan had a brief relationship with FBI Agent Tim Sullivan ( Eddie McClintock ) , also known as Sully , whom she met while on a case when Booth was in therapy due to his grief - induced rage over his self - perceived role in the death of serial killer Howard Epps . Sully asked Dr. Brennan out on a date after their case was completed , and they began a relationship . Their relationship ended , however , when Sully decided to sail a boat down to the Caribbean , and Brennan declined to leave the Jeffersonian to go with him despite Angela trying to persuade her to follow him ; psychiatrist Doctor Gordon Wyatt ( Stephen Fry ) speculated that this was due to Brennan being unable to live a life without purpose . Despite Dr. Wyatt 's original perception as to why she stayed , there exist strong indications , especially through Angela 's observations of the situation , that the real reason she stayed was because of Booth . Sully returns in Season 12 . References ( edit ) Jump up ^ Goldman , Eric , `` Digging Up Secrets With the Cast of Bones '' , IGN , May 31 , 2007 . Retrieved on June 4 , 2007 .

Throughout the episode (\"The Change in the Game\") Brennan has been seen asking Angela questions and making comments that make her seem excited and apprehensive; when she sees that Booth is happy with the news, she also seems overjoyed. This reflects her earlier desire to become a mother, circa season 4, as well as her desire that Booth be the father of the baby." ]	[ "\"The Change in the Game\"" ]

Soon after arriving he is called to the office of his boss , a pufferfish named Sykes , to discuss the fact that he owes `` five thousand clams '' and has to pay it back by the next day . After explaining this to his angelfish best friend Angie , she offers him a chance to pay back the money by pawning a pink pearl that was a gift from her grandmother . Oscar brings the money to the race track to meet Sykes , but becomes distracted by his dreams of grandeur . Upon hearing that the race is rigged , he places it all on a long - shot bet by the name of `` Lucky Day '' . Such a million dollar bet is noticed nearby by a beautiful lionfish named Lola , who flagrantly seduces an excited Oscar , but Oscar is disappointed when she leaves upon learning that he is a whale washer . Sykes is furious that Oscar bet the money but nonetheless agrees to see how the race turns out . Moments before their betted `` horse '' crosses the finish line , he trips and falls on the line . Meanwhile , outside of the reef in the wreck of an old ocean liner a family of criminally - inclined great white sharks has a problem with one of their sons , Lenny , who is a vegetarian and refuses to act the part of a killer , wishing not to have to live up to those expectations . His crime lord father , Don Edward Lino , orders Lenny 's more savage older brother Frankie to tutor Lenny in the family business . After the two sharks depart their father , Frankie sees Oscar being electrocuted by Sykes ' two jellyfish enforcers Ernie and Bernie and sends Lenny off to attack . The jellyfish spots Lenny and flee , leaving Oscar alone with him . Lenny frees him , upsetting Frankie who becomes annoyed and charges at Oscar . However , Frankie is killed when an anchor falls on him . Lenny flees , overcome with grief and guilt . As no other witnesses were present and Oscar was seen near the body , everyone comes to believe that he killed Frankie , an opportunity that Oscar decides to exploit for fame . Oscar returns to the city with a new title of the Sharkslayer . Sykes becomes his manager , Lola becomes his girlfriend , and Oscar moves to the `` top of the reef '' to live in luxury . At the same time , after Frankie 's funeral , Don Lino , very worried about Lenny , has everyone out looking for Lenny . When several sharks get close to Oscar 's neighborhood , Oscar 's neighbors expect him to drive them away so he goes and runs into Lenny . Since he does not wish to return home , Lenny forces Oscar to let him stay with him since he is aware of Oscar 's lie . Soon , Angie finds out about the lie as well and threatens to tell everyone . Oscar and Lenny convince her to keep quiet , though she is heartbroken by Oscar 's dishonesty . Oscar 's situation is not helped by the shallowed Lola , who indicates to him that her interest in him extends only as far as he remains famous . With Don Lino planning revenge , Oscar and Lenny stage an event in which Lenny pretends to terrorize the town and Oscar must defeat him throwing him into the depths of the ocean . Though this further cements Oscar as the Sharkslayer , it greatly angers Don Lino . Oscar leaves Lola for Angie after Angie reveals that she had feelings for Oscar even before he became famous , but this leaves the rebuffed Lola determined to get revenge . Oscar buys some Valentine 's Day gifts for Angie , but before he can present them to her , he finds that Don Lino has kidnapped Angie to force a sit - down . Lenny comes along now disguised as a dolphin named Sebastian . They arrive at the meeting to find Lola next to Don Lino , while Angie is tied up and gagged and presented to Don Lino on a plate who prepares to eat her if Oscar does not comply . Lenny grabs Angie into his mouth , but later regurgitates her . When Don Lino realizes that `` Sebastian '' is really Lenny , he chases Oscar through the reef . Oscar heads for the Whale Wash and ends up trapping both sharks . He is given an ovation by the other fish , but Oscar confesses that he is not a `` Sharkslayer '' and reveals the truth behind Frankie 's death . He then tells Don Lino that everyone likes Lenny for who he is and strongly urges him not to prejudge people before he knows them properly and make the mistakes he made in prejudging his wealth . Realizing that Oscar is right , Don Lino apologizes to Lenny and reconciles with him while making peace with Oscar , stating that he and his gang bear him no ill will . Oscar forsakes all the wealth he has acquired , makes peace with the sharks , becomes co-manager of the Whale Wash ( now frequented by sharks , killer whales , and swordfish ) , and starts dating Angie and enjoys a happy , honest life . During the credits , Lola tries to find Oscar to make amends , but all she finds is a hermit crab named Crazy Joe , one of Oscar 's friends .

He normally lives in a dumpster near the Whale Wash . Production ( edit ) The film was originally developed under the title of Sharkslayer . By September 2003 , however , it had been retitled Shark Tale , to make it less violent and more family friendly . Bill Damaschke , the producer of the film , explained the change of the title : `` We set out to make a movie a little more noir , perhaps a little darker than where we 've landed . '' In April 2002 , production officially began . The film was produced concurrently with Finding Nemo , another animated film set underwater , which was released a year and a half before Shark Tale . DreamWorks Animation 's CEO , Jeffrey Katzenberg , defended the film , saying that `` any similarities are mere coincidence . We 've been open with the Pixar people so we do n't step on each other 's toes . '' Release ( edit ) Piazza San Marco , Venice , a day before the film 's world premiere , where it was projected on the world 's largest inflatable movie screen . Shark Tale had its worldwide premiere on September 10 , 2004 in Piazza San Marco in Venice , Italy . Screening as part of the Venice Film Festival , it marked the first time that Piazza San Marco was closed for a premiere of a major feature film . The film was projected on the largest inflatable screen in the world , measuring more than six stories tall and over 3,900 square feet ( 360 m ) . It required 20,000 cubic feet ( 570 m ) of air to inflate and more than 50 tons of water for stabilization . The premiere was attended by 6,000 visitors , including Will Smith , Angelina Jolie , Robert De Niro , and Michael Imperioli . Jeffrey Katzenberg , the executive producer of the film , explained that they `` wanted to find a unique way to introduce this movie to the world . We needed a big idea. ... More than anything , we are in showbusiness . This is the show part . '' Box Office ( edit ) Shark Tale opened at # 1 with $47.6 million , which was , at the time , the second - highest opening for a DreamWorks Animation film behind Shrek 2 ( $108 million ) . It remained as the # 1 film in the U.S. and Canada for its second and third weekends . Overall , the movie grossed $160,861,908 in North America and $206,413,111 internationally , bringing its worldwide total to $367,275,019 . Critical reception ( edit ) The film received a 35 % `` Rotten '' rating at the review aggregate website Rotten Tomatoes , with the consensus : `` Derivative and full of pop culture in - jokes . '' On another review aggregator , Metacritic , the film holds a 48 out of 100 rating or `` mixed or average reviews . '' Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of `` A - '' on an A+ to F scale . John Mancini , the founder of the Italic Institute of America , protested Shark Tale for perpetuating negative stereotypes of Italian - Americans . DreamWorks reacted by changing the name of Peter Falk 's character from Don Brizzi to Don Feinberg . However , Mancini demanded that everything Italian -- character names , the mannerisms , the forms of speech -- be dropped . The American Family Association , a Christian conservative organization , raised concerns about Shark Tale , suggesting that it was designed to promote the acceptance of gay rights by children . Roger Ebert gave Shark Tale two out of four stars , observing , `` Since the target audience for Shark Tale is presumably kids and younger teenagers , how many of them have seen the R - rated Godfather and will get all the inside jokes ? Not a few , I suppose , and some of its characters and dialogue have passed into common knowledge . But it 's strange that a kid - oriented film would be based on parody of a 1972 gangster movie for adults . '' He also opined that younger viewers would have trouble enjoying a film about adult characters with adult problems , such as an elaborate love triangle and a main character wanting to clear his debt with loan sharks , and compared it to more successful fish - focused animated features like Pixar Animation Studios ' Finding Nemo , which Ebert felt featured a simpler plot that audiences could more easily identify with . However , Richard Roeper commented that although the film was n't on the same level as Finding Nemo , it was definitely a film worth seeing . Home media ( edit ) Shark Tale was released on DVD and VHS on February 8 , 2005 , accompanied with a DVD - exclusive animated short film Club Oscar . The three - and - a-half - minute short film continues where the main film ends , showing the characters of Shark Tale dancing at the whale wash to a spoof of Saturday Night Fever . It was also released on Game Boy Advance Video in October 2005 .

'' Jeffrey Katzenberg , CEO of DreamWorks ' Animations , had appointed Jackson 's producers Jam & Lewis to be involved with the soundtrack , though the duo only ended up producing only one song for the film , with Jam saying `` We worked for DreamWorks before on the Bryan Adams song for Spirit : Stallion of the Cimarron and the Boyz II Men tune for The Prince of Egypt , and Katzenberg is a fan of what we do . He thought we would be perfect to do the music for Shark Tale . '' Track listing ( edit ) No .

These laws cover a wide range of issues and behaviors , addressing when and where alcohol can be consumed . The minimum age alcohol can be legally consumed can be different from the age when it can be purchased in some countries . These laws vary among different countries and many laws have exemptions or special circumstances . Most laws apply only to drinking alcohol in public places , with alcohol consumption in the home being mostly unregulated ( an exception being the UK , which has a minimum legal age of five for supervised consumption in private places ) . Some countries also have different age limits for different types of alcoholic drinks . Some Islamic nations prohibit Muslims , or both Muslims and non-Muslims , from drinking alcohol at any age . In other countries , it is not illegal for minors to drink alcohol , but the alcohol can be seized without compensation . In some cases , it is illegal to sell or give alcohol to minors . The following list indicates the age of the person for whom it is legal to consume and purchase alcohol . Kazakhstan , Oman , Pakistan , Qatar , Sri Lanka , Tajikistan , Thailand , United Arab Emirates , Federated States of Micronesia , Palau , Paraguay , Solomon Islands , India ( certain states ) , the United States ( except U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico ) , Yemen ( Aden and Sana'a ) , Japan , Iceland , Canada ( certain Provinces and Territories ) , and South Korea have the highest set drinking ages , however some of these countries do not have off - premises drinking limits . Austria , Belgium , Burundi , Denmark , Germany , Georgia , Luxembourg , Moldova and Western Sahara have the lowest set drinking ages .

Nicaragua 18 Panama 18 Paraguay 20 According to Art . 1 ° of the law to `` ban on the sale of alcoholic beverages to minors '' , it is illegal to serve or sell alcohol or to allow the consumption by minors under 20 years of age . Furthermore , under Art 2 ° all public establishments selling alcohol must display a clearly legible notice in the sales area with the following text : `` ESTA PROHIBIDA LA VENTA DE BEBIDAS ALCOHÓLICAS A MENORES DE VEINTE AÑOS DE EDAD '' ( It is illegal ( prohibited ) to sell alcoholic beverages to minors under 20 years of age ) Peru 18 Puerto Rico 18 The minimum age for the selling of any alcohol beverage is 18 . Although a valid Puerto Rico license ID or passport is required as proof of age to buyers who look under the age of 18 , it is generally not a common practice to ask for ID to enter a venue that sells alcohol or to sell you alcohol at other establishments . This law can be more enforced in some tourist areas and on foreigners visiting the island by some more exclusive hotels , bars , and upscale clubs . A few of the more exclusive venues in the tourist areas may have their own entrance rules regarding age including not allowing anyone under the age of 25 or 23 to enter and consume alcohol or change this depending on specific nights / events and restricted by gender / sex ( i.e. women over 18 allowed to enter but only men over 21 on that same night ) . Trinidad and Tobago 18 Turks and Caicos Islands 18 United States ( 50 states and integral territories ) Varies by jurisdiction 21 The National Minimum Drinking Age Act of 1984 withholds revenue from states that allow the purchase of alcohol by anyone under the age of twenty - one . Prior to the effective date of that Act , the drinking age varied from state to state . Some states do not allow those under the legal drinking age to be present in liquor stores or in bars ( usually , the difference between a bar and a restaurant is that food is served only in the latter ) . Contrary to popular belief , since the act went into law , only a few states prohibit minors and young adults from consuming alcohol in private settings . As of January 1 , 2010 , fifteen states and the District of Columbia ban underage consumption outright , seventeen states do not ban underage consumption , and the remaining eighteen states have family member or location exceptions to their underage consumption laws . Federal law explicitly provides for religious exceptions . As of 2005 , thirty - one states have family member or location exceptions to their underage possession laws . However , non-alcoholic beer in many ( but not all ) states , such as Idaho , Texas , and Maryland , is considered legal for those under the age of twenty - one . By a judge 's ruling , South Carolina appears to allow the possession and consumption of alcohol by adults eighteen to twenty years of age , but a circuit court judge has said otherwise . The states of Washington and Wisconsin allows the consumption of alcohol in the presence of parents . Some U.S. states have legislation that make providing to and possession of alcohol by persons under twenty - one a gross misdemeanor with a potential penalty of a $5,000 fine or up to year in jail .

-5304152145941694790	Heart development	Heart development - wikipedia Heart development Jump to : navigation , search This article is about a general overview of heart development . For protein signalling in heart development , see Protein signalling in heart development . Heart development Development of the human heart during the first eight weeks ( top ) , and the formation of the heart chambers ( bottom ) . In this figure , the blue and red colors represent blood inflow and outflow ( not venous and arterial blood ) . Initially , all venous blood flows from the tail / atria to the ventricles / head , a very different pattern from that of an adult . Anatomical terminology ( edit on Wikidata ) Heart development refers to the prenatal development of the human heart . This begins with the formation of two endocardial tubes which merge to form the tubular heart , also called the primitive heart tube , that loops and septates into the four chambers and paired arterial trunks that form the adult heart . The heart is the first functional organ in vertebrate embryos , and in the human , beats spontaneously by week 4 of development . The tubular heart quickly differentiates into the truncus arteriosus , bulbus cordis , primitive ventricle , primitive atrium , and the sinus venosus . The truncus arteriosus splits into the ascending aorta and pulmonary artery . The bulbus cordis forms part of the ventricles . The sinus venosus connects to the fetal circulation . The heart tube elongates on the right side , looping and becoming the first visual sign of left - right asymmetry of the body . Septa form within the atria and ventricles to separate the left and right sides of the heart . Contents ( hide ) 1 Early development 1.1 Endocardial tubes 1.2 Heart tube position 2 Heart folding 3 Heart chambers 3.1 Sinus venosus 3.2 Heart wall 3.3 Atria 3.4 Ventricles 3.5 Septum formation of the atrioventricular canal 3.6 Atrioventricular valves 4 Valves and outflow tracts 4.1 Truncus septum formation and arterial cone 5 Pacemaker and conduction system 6 References 7 Additional images 8 References Early development ( edit ) The heart derives from embryonic mesodermal germ - layer cells that differentiate after gastrulation into mesothelium , endothelium , and myocardium . Mesothelial pericardium forms the outer lining of the heart . The inner lining of the heart , lymphatic and blood vessels , develop from endothelium . Endocardial tubes ( edit ) In the splanchnopleuric mesenchyme on either side of the neural plate , a horseshoe - shaped area develops as the cardiogenic region . This has formed from cardiac myoblasts and blood islands as forerunners of blood cells and vessels . By day 19 , an endocardial tube begins to develop in each side of this region . These two tubes grow and by the third week have converged towards each other to merge , using programmed cell death to form a single tube , the tubular heart . From splanchnopleuric mesenchyme , the cardiogenic region develops cranially and laterally to the neural plate . In this area , two separate angiogenic cell clusters form on either side and coalesce to form the endocardial tubes . As embryonic folding continues , the two endocardial tubes are pushed into the thoracic cavity , where they begin to fuse together , and this is completed at about 22 days . At around 18 to 19 days after fertilisation , the heart begins to form . This early development is critical for subsequent embryonic and prenatal development . The heart is the first functional organ to develop and starts to beat and pump blood at around day 21 or 22 . The heart begins to develop near the head of the embryo in the cardiogenic area . Following cell signalling , two strands or cords begin to form in the cardiogenic region As these form , a lumen develops within them , at which point , they are referred to as endocardial tubes . At the same time that the tubes are forming other major heart components are also being formed . The two tubes migrate together and fuse to form a single primitive heart tube , the tubular heart which quickly forms five distinct regions . From head to tail , these are the truncus arteriosus , bulbus cordis , primitive ventricle , primitive atrium , and the sinus venosus . Initially , all venous blood flows into the sinus venosus , and contractions propel the blood from tail to head , or from the sinus venosus to the truncus arteriosus . The truncus arteriosus will divide to form the aorta and pulmonary artery ; the bulbus cordis will develop into the right ventricle ; the primitive ventricle will form the left ventricle ; the primitive atrium will become the front parts of the left and right atria and their appendages , and the sinus venous will develop into the posterior part of the right atrium , the sinoatrial node and the coronary sinus . Heart tube position ( edit ) The central part of cardiogenic area is in front of the oropharyngeal membrane and the neural plate . The growth of the brain and the cephalic folds push the oropharyngeal membrane forward , while the heart and the pericardial cavity move first to the cervical region and then into the chest . The curved portion of the horseshoe - shaped area expands to form the future ventricular infundibulum and the ventricular regions , as the heart tube continues to expand . The tube starts receiving venous drainage in its caudal pole and will pump blood out of the first aortic arch and into the dorsal aorta through its polar head . Initially the tube remains attached to the dorsal part of the pericardial cavity by a mesodermal tissue fold called the dorsal mesoderm . This mesoderm disappears to form the two pericardial sinuses the transverse and the oblique pericardial sinuses , which connect both sides of the pericardial cavity . The myocardium thickens and secretes a thick layer of rich extracellular matrix containing hyaluronic acid which separates the endothelium . Then mesothelial cells form the pericardium and migrate to form most of the epicardium . Then the heart tube is formed by the endocardium , which is the inner endothelial lining of the heart , and the myocardial muscle wall which is the epicardium that covers the outside of the tube . Heart folding ( edit ) The heart tube continues stretching and by day 23 , in a process called morphogenesis , cardiac looping begins . The cephalic portion curves in a frontal clockwise direction . The atrial portion starts moving in a cephalic ally and then moves to the left from its original position . This curved shape approaches the heart and finishes its growth on day 28 . The conduit forms the atrial and ventricular junctions which connect the common atrium and the common ventricle in the early embryo . The arterial bulb forms the trabecular portion of the right ventricle . A cone will form the infundibula blood of both ventricles . The arterial trunk and the roots will form the proximal portion of the aorta and the pulmonary artery . The junction between the ventricle and the arterial bulb will be called the primary intra-ventricular hole . The tube is divided into cardiac regions along its craniocaudal axis : the primitive ventricle , called primitive left ventricle , and the trabecular proximal arterial bulb , called the primitive right ventricle . Heart chambers ( edit ) Sinus venosus ( edit ) In the middle of the fourth week , the sinus receives venous blood from the poles of right and left sinus . Each pole receives blood from three major veins : the vitelline vein , the umbilical vein and the common cardinal vein . The sinus opening moves clockwise . This movement is caused mainly by the left to right shunt of blood , which occurs in the venous system during the fourth and fifth week of development . When the left common cardinal vein disappears in the tenth week , with only the oblique vein of the left atrium and the coronary sinus remaining . The right pole joins the right atrium to form the wall portion of the right atrium . The right and left venous valves fuse and form a peak known as the septum spurium . At the beginning , these valves are large but the left venous valve and the septum spurium fuse with the developing atrial septum . The upper right venous valve disappearing . The bottom evolves into : the inferior valve of the vena cava and the coronary sinus valve . Heart wall ( edit ) The main walls of the heart are formed between day 27 and 37 of the development of the early embryo . The growth consists of two tissue masses actively growing that approach one another until they merge and split light into two separate conduits . Tissue masses called endocardial cushions develop into atrioventricular and conotroncal regions . In these places , the cushions will help in the formation of auricular septum , ventricular conduits , atrio - ventricular valves and aortic and pulmonary channels . Atria ( edit ) Further information : Interatrial septum § Development The developing heart at day 30 . The septum primum ( top , middle ) develops downwards to separate the initially joined primitive atrium into left and right atria . At the end of the fourth week , a crest grows that leaves the cephalic part . This crest is the first part of the septum primum . The two ends of the septum extend into the interior of the endocardial cushions in the atrioventricular canal . The opening between the bottom edge of the septum primum and endocardial cushions is the ostium primum ( first opening ) . The extensions of the upper and lower endocardial pads grow along the margin of the septum primum and close the ostium primum . Coalescence of these perforations will form the ostium secundum ( second opening ) , which allows blood to flow freely from the right atrium to the left . When the right of the atrium expands due to the incorporation of the pole of the sinus , a new fold appears , called the septum secundum . At its right side it is fused with the left venous valve and the septum spurium . A free opening will then appear , called the foramen ovale . The remains of the upper septum primum , will become the valves of the foramen ovale . The passage between the two atrial chambers consists of a long oblique slit through which blood flows from the right atrium to the left . Ventricles ( edit ) Initially , a single pulmonary vein develops in the form of a bulge in the back wall of the left atrium . This vein will connect with the veins of the developing lung buds . As development proceeds the pulmonary vein and its branches are incorporated into the left atrium and they both form the smooth wall of the atrium . The embryonic left atrium remains as the trabecular left atrial appendage , and the embryonic right atrium remains as the right atrial appendage . Septum formation of the atrioventricular canal ( edit ) At the end of the fourth week , two atrioventricular endocardial cushions appear . Initially the atrioventricular canal gives access to the primitive left ventricle , and is separated from arterial bulb by the edge of the ventricular bulb . In the fifth week , the posterior end terminates in the center part of the upper endocardial cushion . Because of this , blood can access both the left primitive ventricle and the right primitive ventricle . As the anterior and posterior pads project inwardly , they merge to form a right and left atrioventricular orifice . Atrioventricular valves ( edit ) When forming intra-atrial septa , atrio - ventricular valves will begin to grow . An intra-muscular ventricular septum begins to grow from the common ventricle to the atrio - ventricular endocardial cushions . The division begins in the common ventricle where a furrow in the outer surface of the heart will appear the interventricular foramen eventually disappears . This closure is achieved by further growth muscular interventricular septum , a contribution of trunk crest - conal tissue and a membranous component . Valves and outflow tracts ( edit ) Truncus septum formation and arterial cone ( edit ) The arterial cone is closed by the infundibular cushions . The trunk cones are closed by the forming of an infundibulotroncal septum , which is made from a straight proximal portion and distal spiral portion . Then , the narrowest portion of the aorta is in the left and dorsal portion . The distal portion of the aorta is pushed forward to the right . The proximal pulmonary artery is right and ventral , and the distal portion of the pulmonary artery is in the left dorsal portion . Pacemaker and conduction system ( edit ) The rhythmic electrical depolarization waves that trigger myocardial contraction is myogenic , which means that they begin in the heart muscle spontaneously and are then responsible for transmitting signals from cell to cell . Myocytes that were obtained in the primitive heart tube , start beating as they connect together by their walls in a syncytium . Myocytes initiate rhythmic electrical activity , before the fusion of the endocardial tubes . The heartbeat begins in the region of the pacemaker which has a spontaneous depolarization time faster than the rest of myocardium . The primitive ventricle acts as initial pacemaker . But this pacemaker activity is actually made by a group of cells that derive from the sinoatrial right venous sinus . These cells form an ovoid sinoatrial node ( SAN ) , on the left venous valve . After the development of the SAN , the superior endocardial cushions begin to form a pacemaker as known as the atrioventricular node . With the development of the SAN , a band of specialized conducting cells start to form creating the bundle of His that sends a branch to the right ventricle and one to the left ventricle . Most conduction pathways originate from the cardiogenic mesoderm but the sinus node may be derived from the neural crest . The human embryonic heart begins beating approximately 21 days after fertilization , or five weeks after the last normal menstrual period ( LMP ) , which is the date normally used to date pregnancy in the medical community . The electrical depolarizations that trigger cardiac myocytes to contract arise spontaneously within the myocyte itself . The heartbeat is initiated in the pacemaker regions and spreads to the rest of the heart through a conduction pathway . Pacemaker cells develop in the primitive atrium and the sinus venosus to form the sinoatrial node and the atrioventricular node respectively . Conductive cells develop the bundle of His and carry the depolarization into the lower heart . Cardiac activity is visible beginning at approximately 5 weeks of pregnancy . The human heart begins beating at a rate near the mother 's , about 75 - 80 beats per minute ( BPM ) . The embryonic heart rate ( EHR ) then accelerates linearly for the first month of beating , peaking at 165 - 185 BPM during the early 7th week , ( early 9th week after the LMP ) . This acceleration is approximately 3.3 BPM per day , or about 10 BPM every three days , an increase of 100 BPM in the first month . After peaking at about 9.2 weeks after the LMP , it decelerates to about 150 BPM ( + / - 25 BPM ) during the 15th week after the LMP . After the 15th week the deceleration slows reaching an average rate of about 145 ( + / - 25 BPM ) BPM at term . References ( edit ) ^ Jump up to : Betts , J. Gordon ( 2013 ) .

The series is a satirical depiction of working - class life , epitomized by the Simpson family , which consists of Homer , Marge , Bart , Lisa , and Maggie . The show is set in the fictional town of Springfield and parodies American culture and society , television , and the human condition . The family was conceived by Groening shortly before a solicitation for a series of animated shorts with producer James L. Brooks . Groening created a dysfunctional family and named the characters after members of his own family , substituting Bart for his own name . The shorts became a part of The Tracey Ullman Show on April 19 , 1987 . After a three - season run , the sketch was developed into a half - hour prime time show and became an early hit for Fox , becoming the network 's first series to land in the Top 30 ratings in a season ( 1989 -- 90 ) . Since its debut on December 17 , 1989 , 622 episodes of The Simpsons have been broadcast . Its 29th season began on October 1 , 2017 . It is the longest - running American sitcom and the longest - running American animated program , and , in 2009 , it surpassed Gunsmoke as the longest - running American scripted primetime television series . The Simpsons Movie , a feature - length film , was released in theaters worldwide on July 27 , 2007 , and grossed over $527 million . On November 4 , 2016 , the series was renewed for a twenty - ninth and thirtieth season of 22 episodes each , extending the show to 2019 . The Simpsons received widespread critical acclaim throughout its first nine or ten seasons , which are generally considered its `` Golden Age '' . Time named it the 20th century 's best television series , and Erik Adams of The A.V. Club named it `` television 's crowning achievement regardless of format '' . On January 14 , 2000 , the Simpson family was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame . It has won dozens of awards since it debuted as a series , including 31 Primetime Emmy Awards , 30 Annie Awards , and a Peabody Award . Homer 's exclamatory catchphrase `` D'oh ! '' has been adopted into the English language , while The Simpsons has influenced many other later adult - oriented animated sitcoms . Despite this , the show has also been criticized for what many perceive as a decline in quality over the years , generally since about the late 1990s .

Homer , the father , works as a safety inspector at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant , a position at odds with his careless , buffoonish personality . He is married to Marge , a stereotypical American housewife and mother . They have three children : Bart , a ten - year - old troublemaker ; Lisa , a precocious eight - year - old activist ; and Maggie , the baby of the family who rarely speaks , but communicates by sucking on a pacifier . Although the family is dysfunctional , many episodes examine their relationships and bonds with each other and they are often shown to care about one another . The family owns a dog , Santa 's Little Helper , and a cat , Snowball V , renamed Snowball II in `` I , ( Annoyed Grunt ) - Bot '' . Both pets have had starring roles in several episodes . The Simpsons sports a vast array of secondary and tertiary characters . The show includes an array of quirky supporting characters : co-workers , teachers , family friends , extended relatives , townspeople and local celebrities . The creators originally intended many of these characters as one - time jokes or for fulfilling needed functions in the town . A number of them have gained expanded roles and subsequently starred in their own episodes . According to Matt Groening , the show adopted the concept of a large supporting cast from the comedy show SCTV . Despite the depiction of yearly milestones such as holidays or birthdays passing , the characters do not age between episodes ( either physically or in stated age ) , and generally appear just as they did when the series began . The series uses a floating timeline in which episodes generally take place in the year the episode is produced even though the characters do not age . Flashbacks / forwards do occasionally depict the characters at other points in their lives , with the timeline of these depictions also generally floating relative to the year the episode is produced . In a nod to the non-aging aspect of the show , when asked during the episode `` The Simpsons Guy '' how long Nelson Muntz has been bullying him , Bart replies `` 24 years . '' Setting Main article : Springfield ( The Simpsons ) The Simpsons takes place in the fictional American town of Springfield in an unknown and impossible - to - determine U.S. state . The show is intentionally evasive in regard to Springfield 's location . Springfield 's geography , and that of its surroundings , contains coastlines , deserts , vast farmland , tall mountains , or whatever the story or joke requires . Groening has said that Springfield has much in common with Portland , Oregon , the city where he grew up . The name `` Springfield '' is a common one in America and appears in 22 states . Groening has said that he named it after Springfield , Oregon , and the fictitious Springfield which was the setting of the series Father Knows Best . He `` figured out that Springfield was one of the most common names for a city in the U.S. In anticipation of the success of the show , I thought , ' This will be cool ; everyone will think it 's their Springfield . ' And they do . '' An astronomer and fan of the show , Phil Plait , humorously noticed that The Simpsons could be set in Australia , because the moon in Springfield faces the wrong way to be an American location . Production Development Main articles : History of The Simpsons and The Simpsons shorts James L. Brooks ( pictured ) asked Matt Groening to create a series of animated shorts for The Tracey Ullman Show When producer James L. Brooks was working on the television variety show The Tracey Ullman Show , he decided to include small animated sketches before and after the commercial breaks . Having seen one of cartoonist Matt Groening 's Life in Hell comic strips , Brooks asked Groening to pitch an idea for a series of animated shorts . Groening initially intended to present an animated version of his Life in Hell series . However , Groening later realized that animating Life in Hell would require the rescinding of publication rights for his life 's work . He therefore chose another approach while waiting in the lobby of Brooks 's office for the pitch meeting , hurriedly formulating his version of a dysfunctional family that became the Simpsons . He named the characters after his own family members , substituting `` Bart '' for his own name , adopting an anagram of the word `` brat '' . The Simpson family first appeared as shorts in The Tracey Ullman Show on April 19 , 1987 . Groening submitted only basic sketches to the animators and assumed that the figures would be cleaned up in production . However , the animators merely re-traced his drawings , which led to the crude appearance of the characters in the initial shorts . The animation was produced domestically at Klasky Csupo , with Wes Archer , David Silverman , and Bill Kopp being animators for the first season . Colorist Gyorgyi Peluce was the person who decided to make the characters yellow . In 1989 , a team of production companies adapted The Simpsons into a half - hour series for the Fox Broadcasting Company . The team included the Klasky Csupo animation house . Brooks negotiated a provision in the contract with the Fox network that prevented Fox from interfering with the show 's content . Groening said his goal in creating the show was to offer the audience an alternative to what he called `` the mainstream trash '' that they were watching . The half - hour series premiered on December 17 , 1989 , with `` Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire '' . `` Some Enchanted Evening '' was the first full - length episode produced , but it did not broadcast until May 1990 , as the last episode of the first season , because of animation problems . In 1992 , Tracey Ullman filed a lawsuit against Fox , claiming that her show was the source of the series ' success . The suit said she should receive a share of the profits of The Simpsons -- a claim rejected by the courts . Executive producers and showrunners Matt Groening , creator List of showrunners throughout the series ' run : Season 1 -- 2 : Matt Groening , James L. Brooks , & Sam Simon Season 3 -- 4 : Al Jean & Mike Reiss Season 5 -- 6 : David Mirkin Season 7 -- 8 : Bill Oakley & Josh Weinstein Season 9 -- 12 : Mike Scully Season 13 -- present : Al Jean Matt Groening and James L. Brooks have served as executive producers during the show 's entire history , and also function as creative consultants . Sam Simon , described by former Simpsons director Brad Bird as `` the unsung hero '' of the show , served as creative supervisor for the first four seasons . He was constantly at odds with Groening , Brooks and the show 's production company Gracie Films and left in 1993 . Before leaving , he negotiated a deal that sees him receive a share of the profits every year , and an executive producer credit despite not having worked on the show since 1993 , at least until his passing in 2015 . A more involved position on the show is the showrunner , who acts as head writer and manages the show 's production for an entire season . Writing Main article : List of The Simpsons writers The first team of writers , assembled by Sam Simon , consisted of John Swartzwelder , Jon Vitti , George Meyer , Jeff Martin , Al Jean , Mike Reiss , Jay Kogen and Wallace Wolodarsky . Newer Simpsons ' writing teams typically consist of sixteen writers who propose episode ideas at the beginning of each December . The main writer of each episode writes the first draft . Group rewriting sessions develop final scripts by adding or removing jokes , inserting scenes , and calling for re-readings of lines by the show 's vocal performers . Until 2004 , George Meyer , who had developed the show since the first season , was active in these sessions . According to long - time writer Jon Vitti , Meyer usually invented the best lines in a given episode , even though other writers may receive script credits . Each episode takes six months to produce so the show rarely comments on current events . Part of the writing staff of The Simpsons in 1992 . Back row , left to right : Mike Mendel , Colin ABV Lewis ( partial ) , Jeff Goldstein , Al Jean ( partial ) , Conan O'Brien , Bill Oakley , Josh Weinstein , Mike Reiss , Ken Tsumura , George Meyer , John Swartzwelder , Jon Vitti ( partial ) , CJ Gibson and David M. Stern . Front row , left to right : Dee Capelli , Lona Williams , and unknown . Credited with sixty episodes , John Swartzwelder is the most prolific writer on The Simpsons . One of the best - known former writers is Conan O'Brien , who contributed to several episodes in the early 1990s before replacing David Letterman as host of the talk show Late Night . English comedian Ricky Gervais wrote the episode `` Homer Simpson , This Is Your Wife '' , becoming the first celebrity to both write and guest star in an episode . Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg , writers of the film Superbad , wrote the episode `` Homer the Whopper '' , with Rogen voicing a character in it . At the end of 2007 , the writers of The Simpsons went on strike together with the other members of the Writers Guild of America , East . The show 's writers had joined the guild in 1998 . Voice actors Main articles : List of The Simpsons cast members , List of The Simpsons guest stars , and Non-English versions of The Simpsons The Simpsons has six main cast members : Dan Castellaneta , Julie Kavner , Nancy Cartwright , Yeardley Smith , Hank Azaria and Harry Shearer . Castellaneta voices Homer Simpson , Grampa Simpson , Krusty the Clown , Groundskeeper Willie , Mayor Quimby , Barney Gumble and other adult , male characters . Julie Kavner voices Marge Simpson and Patty and Selma , as well as several minor characters . Castellaneta and Kavner had been a part of The Tracey Ullman Show cast and were given the parts so that new actors would not be needed . Cartwright voices Bart Simpson , Nelson Muntz , Ralph Wiggum and other children . Smith , the voice of Lisa Simpson , is the only cast member who regularly voices only one character , although she occasionally plays other episodic characters . The producers decided to hold casting for the roles of Bart and Lisa . Smith had initially been asked to audition for the role of Bart , but casting director Bonita Pietila believed her voice was too high , so she was given the role of Lisa instead . Cartwright was originally brought in to voice Lisa , but upon arriving at the audition , she found that Lisa was simply described as the `` middle child '' and at the time did not have much personality . Cartwright became more interested in the role of Bart , who was described as `` devious , underachieving , school - hating , irreverent , ( and ) clever '' . Groening let her try out for the part instead , and upon hearing her read , gave her the job on the spot . Cartwright is the only one of the six main Simpsons cast members who had been professionally trained in voice acting prior to working on the show . Azaria and Shearer do not voice members of the title family , but play a majority of the male townspeople . Azaria , who has been a part of the Simpsons regular voice cast since the second season , voices recurring characters such as Moe Szyslak , Chief Wiggum , Apu Nahasapeemapetilon and Professor Frink . Shearer provides voices for Mr. Burns , Mr. Smithers , Principal Skinner , Ned Flanders , Reverend Lovejoy and Dr. Hibbert . Every main cast member has won a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Voice - Over Performance . With one exception , episode credits list only the voice actors , and not the characters they voice . Both Fox and the production crew wanted to keep their identities secret during the early seasons and , therefore , closed most of the recording sessions while refusing to publish photos of the recording artists . However , the network eventually revealed which roles each actor performed in the episode `` Old Money '' , because the producers said the voice actors should receive credit for their work . In 2003 , the cast appeared in an episode of Inside the Actors Studio , doing live performances of their characters ' voices . The six main actors were paid $ 30,000 per episode until 1998 , when they were involved in a pay dispute with Fox . The company threatened to replace them with new actors , even going as far as preparing for casting of new voices , but series creator Groening supported the actors in their action . The issue was soon resolved and , from 1998 to 2004 , they were paid $125,000 per episode . The show 's revenue continued to rise through syndication and DVD sales , and in April 2004 the main cast stopped appearing for script readings , demanding they be paid $360,000 per episode . The strike was resolved a month later and their salaries were increased to something between $250,000 and $360,000 per episode . In 2008 , production for the twentieth season was put on hold due to new contract negotiations with the voice actors , who wanted a `` healthy bump '' in salary to an amount close to $500,000 per episode . The negotiations were soon completed , and the actors ' salary was raised to $400,000 per episode . Three years later , with Fox threatening to cancel the series unless production costs were cut , the cast members accepted a 30 percent pay cut , down to just over $300,000 per episode . In addition to the main cast , Pamela Hayden , Tress MacNeille , Marcia Wallace , Maggie Roswell , and Russi Taylor voice supporting characters . From 1999 to 2002 , Roswell 's characters were voiced by Marcia Mitzman Gaven . Karl Wiedergott has also appeared in minor roles , but does not voice any recurring characters . Wiedergott left the show in 2010 , and since then Chris Edgerly has appeared regularly to voice minor characters . Repeat `` special guest '' cast members include Albert Brooks , Phil Hartman , Jon Lovitz , Joe Mantegna , Maurice LaMarche , and Kelsey Grammer . Following Hartman 's death in 1998 , the characters he voiced ( Troy McClure and Lionel Hutz ) were retired ; Wallace 's character of Edna Krabappel was retired as well after her death in 2013 . Episodes will quite often feature guest voices from a wide range of professions , including actors , athletes , authors , bands , musicians and scientists . In the earlier seasons , most of the guest stars voiced characters , but eventually more started appearing as themselves . Tony Bennett was the first guest star to appear as himself , appearing briefly in the season two episode `` Dancin ' Homer '' . The Simpsons holds the world record for `` Most Guest Stars Featured in a Television Series '' . The Simpsons has been dubbed into several other languages , including Japanese , German , Spanish , and Portuguese . It is also one of the few programs dubbed in both standard French and Quebec French . The show has been broadcast in Arabic , but due to Islamic customs , numerous aspects of the show have been changed . For example , Homer drinks soda instead of beer and eats Egyptian beef sausages instead of hot dogs . Because of such changes , the Arabized version of the series met with a negative reaction from the lifelong Simpsons fans in the area . Animation Animation director David Silverman , who helped define the look of the show . Several different U.S. and international studios animate The Simpsons . Throughout the run of the animated shorts on The Tracey Ullman Show , the animation was produced domestically at Klasky Csupo . With the debut of the series , because of an increased workload , Fox subcontracted production to several local and foreign studios . These are AKOM , Anivision , Rough Draft Studios , USAnimation , and Toonzone Entertainment . For the first three seasons , Klasky Csupo animated The Simpsons in the United States . In 1992 , the show 's production company , Gracie Films , switched domestic production to Film Roman , who continue to animate the show until 2016 . In Season 14 , production switched from traditional cel animation to digital ink and paint . The first episode to experiment with digital coloring was `` Radioactive Man '' in 1995 . Animators used digital ink and paint during production of the season 12 episode `` Tennis the Menace '' , but Gracie Films delayed the regular use of digital ink and paint until two seasons later . The already completed `` Tennis the Menace '' was broadcast as made . The production staff at the U.S. animation studio , Film Roman , draws storyboards , designs new characters , backgrounds , props and draws character and background layouts , which in turn become animatics to be screened for the writers at Gracie Films for any changes to be made before the work is shipped overseas . The overseas studios then draw the inbetweens , ink and paint , and render the animation to tape before it is shipped back to the United States to be delivered to Fox three to four months later . The series began high - definition production in Season 20 ; the first episode , `` Take My Life , Please '' , aired February 15 , 2009 . The move to HDTV included a new opening sequence . Matt Groening called it a complicated change because it affected the timing and composition of animation . Themes Main articles : Media in The Simpsons , Politics in The Simpsons , and Religion in The Simpsons The Simpsons uses the standard setup of a situational comedy , or sitcom , as its premise . The series centers on a family and their life in a typical American town , serving as a satirical parody of a middle class American lifestyle . However , because of its animated nature , The Simpsons ' scope is larger than that of a regular sitcom . The town of Springfield acts as a complete universe in which characters can explore the issues faced by modern society . By having Homer work in a nuclear power plant , the show can comment on the state of the environment . Through Bart and Lisa 's days at Springfield Elementary School , the show 's writers illustrate pressing or controversial issues in the field of education . The town features a vast array of media channels -- from kids ' television programming to local news , which enables the producers to make jokes about themselves and the entertainment industry . Some commentators say the show is political in nature and susceptible to a left - wing bias . Al Jean admitted in an interview that `` We ( the show ) are of liberal bent . '' The writers often evince an appreciation for liberal ideals , but the show makes jokes across the political spectrum . The show portrays government and large corporations as callous entities that take advantage of the common worker . Thus , the writers often portray authority figures in an unflattering or negative light . In The Simpsons , politicians are corrupt , ministers such as Reverend Lovejoy are indifferent to churchgoers , and the local police force is incompetent . Religion also figures as a recurring theme . In times of crisis , the family often turns to God , and the show has dealt with most of the major religions . Hallmarks Opening sequence Main article : The Simpsons opening sequence The music played during the opening sequence . This piece is also known as The Simpsons Theme . The Simpsons ' opening sequence is one of the show 's most memorable hallmarks . The standard opening has gone through three iterations ( a replacement of some shots at the start of the second season , and a brand new sequence when the show switched to high - definition in 2009 ) . Each has the same basic sequence of events : The camera zooms through cumulus clouds , through the show 's title towards the town of Springfield . The camera then follows the members of the family on their way home . Upon entering their house , the Simpsons settle down on their couch to watch television . The original opening was created by David Silverman , and was the first task he did when production began on the show . The series ' distinctive theme song was composed by musician Danny Elfman in 1989 , after Groening approached him requesting a retro style piece . This piece has been noted by Elfman as the most popular of his career . One of the most distinctive aspects of the opening is that three of its elements change from episode to episode : Bart writes different things on the school chalkboard , Lisa plays different solos on her saxophone and different gags accompany the family as they enter their living room to sit on the couch . Halloween episodes Main article : Treehouse of Horror Bart Simpson introducing a segment of `` Treehouse of Horror IV '' in the manner of Rod Serling 's Night Gallery The special Halloween episode has become an annual tradition . `` Treehouse of Horror '' first broadcast in 1990 as part of season two and established the pattern of three separate , self - contained stories in each Halloween episode . These pieces usually involve the family in some horror , science fiction , or supernatural setting and often parody or pay homage to a famous piece of work in those genres . They always take place outside the normal continuity of the show . Although the Treehouse series is meant to be seen on Halloween , this changed by the 2000s , when new installments have premiered after Halloween due to Fox 's current contract with Major League Baseball 's World Series , however , since 2011 , every Treehouse of Horror episode has aired during the month of October . Humor The show 's humor turns on cultural references that cover a wide spectrum of society so that viewers from all generations can enjoy the show . Such references , for example , come from movies , television , music , literature , science , and history . The animators also regularly add jokes or sight gags into the show 's background via humorous or incongruous bits of text in signs , newspapers , billboards , and elsewhere . The audience may often not notice the visual jokes in a single viewing . Some are so fleeting that they become apparent only by pausing a video recording of the show . Kristin Thompson argues that The Simpsons uses a `` flurry of cultural references , intentionally inconsistent characterization , and considerable self - reflexivity about television conventions and the status of the programme as a television show . '' One of Bart 's early hallmarks was his prank calls to Moe 's Tavern owner Moe Szyslak in which Bart calls Moe and asks for a gag name . Moe tries to find that person in the bar , but soon realizes it is a prank call and angrily threatens Bart . These calls were apparently based on a series of prank calls known as the Tube Bar recordings , though Groening has denied any causal connection . Moe was based partly on Tube Bar owner Louis `` Red '' Deutsch , whose often profane responses inspired Moe 's violent side . As the series progressed , it became more difficult for the writers to come up with a fake name and to write Moe 's angry response , and the pranks were dropped as a regular joke during the fourth season . The Simpsons also often includes self - referential humor . The most common form is jokes about Fox Broadcasting . For example , the episode `` She Used to Be My Girl '' included a scene in which a Fox News Channel van drove down the street while displaying a large `` Bush Cheney 2004 '' banner and playing Queen 's `` We Are the Champions '' , in reference to the 2004 U.S. presidential election and claims of conservative bias in Fox News . The show uses catchphrases , and most of the primary and secondary characters have at least one each . Notable expressions include Homer 's annoyed grunt `` D'oh ! '' , Mr. Burns ' `` Excellent '' and Nelson Muntz 's `` Ha - ha ! '' Some of Bart 's catchphrases , such as `` ¡ Ay , caramba ! '' , `` Do n't have a cow , man ! '' and `` Eat my shorts ! '' appeared on T - shirts in the show 's early days . However , Bart rarely used the latter two phrases until after they became popular through the merchandising . The use of many of these catchphrases has declined in recent seasons . The episode `` Bart Gets Famous '' mocks catchphrase - based humor , as Bart achieves fame on the Krusty the Clown Show solely for saying `` I did n't do it . '' Influence and Legacy Idioms A number of neologisms that originated on The Simpsons have entered popular vernacular . Mark Liberman , director of the Linguistic Data Consortium , remarked , `` The Simpsons has apparently taken over from Shakespeare and the Bible as our culture 's greatest source of idioms , catchphrases and sundry other textual allusions . '' The most famous catchphrase is Homer 's annoyed grunt : `` D'oh ! '' So ubiquitous is the expression that it is now listed in the Oxford English Dictionary , but without the apostrophe . Dan Castellaneta says he borrowed the phrase from James Finlayson , an actor in many Laurel and Hardy comedies , who pronounced it in a more elongated and whining tone . The staff of The Simpsons told Castellaneta to shorten the noise , and it went on to become the well - known exclamation in the television series . Groundskeeper Willie 's description of the French as `` cheese - eating surrender monkeys '' was used by National Review columnist Jonah Goldberg in 2003 , after France 's opposition to the proposed invasion of Iraq . The phrase quickly spread to other journalists . `` Cromulent '' and `` embiggen '' , words used in `` Lisa the Iconoclast '' , have since appeared in the Dictionary.com 's 21st Century Lexicon , and scientific journals respectively . `` Kwyjibo '' , a fake Scrabble word invented by Bart in `` Bart the Genius '' , was used as one of the aliases of the creator of the Melissa worm . `` I , for one , welcome our new insect overlords '' , was used by Kent Brockman in `` Deep Space Homer '' and has become a common phrase . Variants of Brockman 's utterance are used to express obsequious submission . It has been used in media , such as New Scientist magazine . The dismissive term `` Meh '' , believed to have been popularized by the show , entered the Collins English Dictionary in 2008 . Other words credited as stemming from the show include `` yoink '' and `` craptacular '' . The Oxford Dictionary of Modern Quotations includes several quotations from the show . As well as `` cheese - eating surrender monkeys '' , Homer 's lines , `` Kids , you tried your best and you failed miserably . The lesson is never try '' , from `` Burns ' Heir '' ( season five , 1994 ) as well as `` Kids are the best , Apu . You can teach them to hate the things you hate . And they practically raise themselves , what with the Internet and all '' , from `` Eight Misbehavin ' '' ( season 11 , 1999 ) , entered the dictionary in August 2007 . Television The Simpsons was the first successful animated program in American prime time since Wait Till Your Father Gets Home in the 1970s . During most of the 1980s , US pundits considered animated shows as appropriate only for children , and animating a show was too expensive to achieve a quality suitable for prime - time television . The Simpsons changed this perception , initially leading to a short period where networks attempted to recreate prime - time cartoon success with shows like Capitol Critters , Fish Police , and Family Dog , which were expensive and unsuccessful . The Simpsons ' use of Korean animation studios for tweening , coloring , and filming made the episodes cheaper . The success of The Simpsons and the lower production cost prompted US television networks to take chances on other animated series . This development led US producers to a 1990s boom in new , animated prime - time shows , such as South Park , Family Guy , King of the Hill , Futurama and The Critic . For Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane , `` The Simpsons created an audience for prime - time animation that had not been there for many , many years ... As far as I 'm concerned , they basically re-invented the wheel . They created what is in many ways -- you could classify it as -- a wholly new medium . '' The Simpsons has had crossovers with four other shows . In the episode `` A Star Is Burns '' , Marge invites Jay Sherman , the main character of The Critic , to be a judge for a film festival in Springfield . Matt Groening had his name removed from the episode since he had no involvement with The Critic . South Park later paid homage to The Simpsons with the episode `` Simpsons Already Did It '' . In `` Simpsorama '' , the Planet Express crew from Futurama come to Springfield in the present to prevent the Simpsons from destroying the future . In the Family Guy episode `` The Simpsons Guy '' , the Griffins visit Springfield and meet the Simpsons . The Simpsons has also influenced live - action shows like Malcolm in the Middle , which featured the use of sight gags and did not use a laugh track unlike most sitcoms . Malcolm in the Middle debuted January 9 , 2000 , in the time slot after The Simpsons . Ricky Gervais called The Simpsons an influence on The Office , and fellow British sitcom Spaced was , according to its director Edgar Wright , `` an attempt to do a live - action The Simpsons . '' In Georgia , the animated television sitcom The Samsonadzes , launched in November 2009 , has been noted for its very strong resemblance with The Simpsons , which its creator Shalva Ramishvili has acknowledged .

In 1990 , Bart quickly became one of the most popular characters on television in what was termed `` Bartmania '' . He became the most prevalent Simpsons character on memorabilia , such as T - shirts . In the early 1990s , millions of T - shirts featuring Bart were sold ; as many as one million were sold on some days . Believing Bart to be a bad role model , several American public schools banned T - shirts featuring Bart next to captions such as `` I 'm Bart Simpson . Who the hell are you ? '' and `` Underachiever ( ' And proud of it , man ! ' ) '' . The Simpsons merchandise sold well and generated $2 billion in revenue during the first 14 months of sales . Because of his popularity , Bart was often the most promoted member of the Simpson family in advertisements for the show , even for episodes in which he was not involved in the main plot . Due to the show 's success , over the summer of 1990 the Fox Network decided to switch The Simpsons ' time slot so that it would move from 8 : 00 p.m. ET on Sunday night to the same time on Thursday , where it would compete with The Cosby Show on NBC , the number one show at the time . Through the summer , several news outlets published stories about the supposed `` Bill vs. Bart '' rivalry . `` Bart Gets an F '' ( season two , 1990 ) was the first episode to air against The Cosby Show , and it received a lower Nielsen ratings , tying for eighth behind The Cosby Show , which had an 18.5 rating . The rating is based on the number of household televisions that were tuned into the show , but Nielsen Media Research estimated that 33.6 million viewers watched the episode , making it the number one show in terms of actual viewers that week . At the time , it was the most watched episode in the history of the Fox Network , and it is still the highest rated episode in the history of The Simpsons . The show moved back to its Sunday slot in 1994 and has remained there ever since . The Simpsons has been praised by many critics , being described as `` the most irreverent and unapologetic show on the air . '' In a 1990 review of the show , Ken Tucker of Entertainment Weekly described it as `` the American family at its most complicated , drawn as simple cartoons . It 's this neat paradox that makes millions of people turn away from the three big networks on Sunday nights to concentrate on The Simpsons . '' Tucker would also describe the show as a `` pop - cultural phenomenon , a prime - time cartoon show that appeals to the entire family . '' Run length achievements On February 9 , 1997 , The Simpsons surpassed The Flintstones with the episode `` The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show '' as the longest - running prime - time animated series in the United States . In 2004 , The Simpsons replaced The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet ( 1952 to 1966 ) as the longest - running sitcom ( animated or live action ) in the United States . In 2009 , The Simpsons surpassed The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet 's record of 435 episodes and is now recognized by Guinness World Records as the world 's longest running sitcom ( in terms of episode count ) . In October 2004 , Scooby - Doo briefly overtook The Simpsons as the American animated show with the highest number of episodes . However , network executives in April 2005 again cancelled Scooby - Doo , which finished with 371 episodes , and The Simpsons reclaimed the title with 378 episodes at the end of their seventeenth season . In May 2007 , The Simpsons reached their 400th episode at the end of the eighteenth season . While The Simpsons has the record for the number of episodes by an American animated show , other animated series have surpassed The Simpsons . For example , the Japanese anime series Sazae - san has over 7,000 episodes to its credit . In 2009 , Fox began a year - long celebration of the show titled `` Best . 20 Years . Ever . '' to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the premiere of The Simpsons . One of the first parts of the celebration is the `` Unleash Your Yellow '' contest in which entrants must design a poster for the show . The celebration ended on January 10 , 2010 ( almost 20 years after `` Bart the Genius '' aired on January 14 , 1990 ) , with The Simpsons 20th Anniversary Special -- In 3 - D ! On Ice ! , a documentary special by documentary filmmaker Morgan Spurlock that examines the `` cultural phenomenon of The Simpsons '' . As of the twenty - first season ( 2009 -- 2010 ) , The Simpsons became the longest - running American scripted primetime television series , having surpassed Gunsmoke . However , Gunsmoke 's episode count of 635 episodes surpasses The Simpsons , which will not reach that mark until some time in its 29th season or so , under normal programming schedules . However , since Gunsmoke was a full - hour series for its latter fourteen seasons , The Simpsons is the longest - running half - hour series in primetime television . In May 2015 , Fox renewed the show up to the end of a 28th season . On November 4 , 2016 , The Simpsons was renewed for season 29 ( 2017 - 18 ) and season 30 ( 2018 - 19 ) , surpassing Gunsmoke for the most episodes of a scripted primetime TV series . During Season 29 , Norman Lear will make a cameo as himself in a scene involving the theme song from one of his TV shows and Shaquille O'Neal will make a cameo in an episode where Homer asks for his help . Ed Sheeran will guest star as Brendan , a musician with whom Lisa becomes smitten in the episode `` Haw - Haw Land '' , a spoof of the movie La La Land . Nikolaj Coster - Waldau will guest star on `` The Serfsons '' , which executive producer Matt Selman describes as `` a love letter to the fantasy genre of books and movies and TV shows . '' Awards and accolades Main article : List of awards and nominations received by The Simpsons The Simpsons has been awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame . The Simpsons has won dozens of awards since it debuted as a series , including 31 Primetime Emmy Awards , 30 Annie Awards and a Peabody Award . In a 1999 issue celebrating the 20th century 's greatest achievements in arts and entertainment , Time magazine named The Simpsons the century 's best television series . In that same issue , Time included Bart Simpson in the Time 100 , the publication 's list of the century 's 100 most influential people . Bart was the only fictional character on the list . On January 14 , 2000 , the Simpsons were awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame . Also in 2000 , Entertainment Weekly magazine TV critic Ken Tucker named The Simpsons the greatest television show of the 1990s . Furthermore , viewers of the UK television channel Channel 4 have voted The Simpsons at the top of two polls : 2001 's 100 Greatest Kids ' TV shows , and 2005 's The 100 Greatest Cartoons , with Homer Simpson voted into first place in 2001 's 100 Greatest TV Characters . Homer would also place ninth on Entertainment Weekly 's list of the `` 50 Greatest TV icons '' . In 2002 , The Simpsons ranked # 8 on TV Guide 's 50 Greatest TV Shows of All Time , and in 2007 it was included in Time 's list of the `` 100 Best TV Shows of All Time '' . In 2008 the show was placed in first on Entertainment Weekly 's `` Top 100 Shows of the Past 25 Years '' . Empire named it the greatest TV show of all time . In 2010 , Entertainment Weekly named Homer `` the greatest character of the last 20 years '' , while in 2013 the Writers Guild of America listed The Simpsons as the 11th `` best written '' series in television history . In 2013 , TV Guide ranked The Simpsons as the greatest TV cartoon of all time and the tenth greatest show of all time . Television critics Alan Sepinwall and Matt Zoller Seitz ranked The Simpsons as the greatest American TV series of all time in their 2016 book TV ( The Book ) . Criticism Controversy Bart 's rebellious , bad boy nature , which underlies his misbehavior and rarely leads to any punishment , led some parents and conservatives to characterize him as a poor role model for children . In schools , educators claimed that Bart was a `` threat to learning '' because of his `` underachiever and proud of it '' attitude and negative attitude regarding his education . Others described him as `` egotistical , aggressive and mean - spirited '' . In a 1991 interview , Bill Cosby described Bart as a bad role model for children , calling him `` angry , confused , frustrated '' . In response , Matt Groening said , `` That sums up Bart , all right . Most people are in a struggle to be normal ( and ) he thinks normal is very boring , and does things that others just wished they dare do . '' On January 27 , 1992 , then - President George H.W. Bush said , `` We are going to keep on trying to strengthen the American family , to make American families a lot more like the Waltons and a lot less like the Simpsons . '' The writers rushed out a tongue - in - cheek reply in the form of a short segment which aired three days later before a rerun of `` Stark Raving Dad '' in which Bart replied , `` Hey , we 're just like the Waltons . We 're praying for an end to the Depression , too . '' Various episodes of the show have generated controversy . The Simpsons visit Australia in `` Bart vs. Australia '' ( season six , 1995 ) and Brazil in `` Blame It on Lisa '' ( season 13 , 2002 ) and both episodes generated controversy and negative reaction in the visited countries . In the latter case , Rio de Janeiro 's tourist board -- which claimed that the city was portrayed as having rampant street crime , kidnappings , slums , and monkey and rat infestations -- went so far as to threaten Fox with legal action . Groening was a fierce and vocal critic of the episode `` A Star Is Burns '' ( season six , 1995 ) which featured a crossover with The Critic . He felt that it was just an advertisement for The Critic , and that people would incorrectly associate the show with him . When he was unsuccessful in getting the episode pulled , he had his name removed from the credits and went public with his concerns , openly criticizing James L. Brooks and saying the episode `` violates the Simpsons ' universe . '' In response , Brooks said , `` I am furious with Matt , ... he 's allowed his opinion , but airing this publicly in the press is going too far ... his behavior right now is rotten . '' `` The Principal and the Pauper '' ( season nine , 1997 ) is one of the most controversial episodes of The Simpsons . Many fans and critics reacted negatively to the revelation that Seymour Skinner , a recurring character since the first season , was an impostor . The episode has been criticized by Groening and by Harry Shearer , who provides the voice of Skinner . In a 2001 interview , Shearer recalled that after reading the script , he told the writers , `` That 's so wrong . You 're taking something that an audience has built eight years or nine years of investment in and just tossed it in the trash can for no good reason , for a story we 've done before with other characters . It 's so arbitrary and gratuitous , and it 's disrespectful to the audience . '' Ban The show has reportedly been taken off the air in several countries . China banned it from prime - time television in August 2006 , `` in an effort to protect China 's struggling animation studios . '' In 2008 , Venezuela barred the show from airing on morning television as it was deemed `` unsuitable for children '' . The same year , several Russian Pentecostal churches demanded that The Simpsons , South Park and some other Western cartoons be removed from broadcast schedules `` for propaganda of various vices '' and the broadcaster 's license to be revoked . However , the court decision later dismissed this request . Declining quality Chart by producer Sol Harris showing the decline in quality of the show from Season 1 - Season 28 Critics ' reviews of early Simpsons episodes praised the show for its sassy humor , wit , realism , and intelligence . However , in the late 1990s , around the airing of season 10 , the tone and emphasis of the show began to change . Some critics started calling the show `` tired '' . By 2000 , some long - term fans had become disillusioned with the show , and pointed to its shift from character - driven plots to what they perceived as an overemphasis on zany antics . Jim Schembri of The Sydney Morning Herald attributed the decline in quality to an abandonment of character - driven storylines in favor of and overuse of celebrity cameo appearances and references to popular culture . Schembri wrote : `` The central tragedy of The Simpsons is that it has gone from commanding attention to merely being attention - seeking . It began by proving that cartoon characters do n't have to be caricatures ; they can be invested with real emotions . Now the show has in essence fermented into a limp parody of itself . Memorable story arcs have been sacrificed for the sake of celebrity walk - ons and punchline - hungry dialogue . '' In 2010 , the BBC noted `` the common consensus is that The Simpsons ' golden era ended after season nine '' , and Todd Leopold of CNN , in an article looking at its perceived decline , stated `` for many fans ... the glory days are long past . '' Similarly , Tyler Wilson of Coeur d'Alene Press has referred to seasons one to nine as the show 's `` golden age '' , and Ian Nathan of Empire described the show 's classic era as being `` say , the first ten seasons . '' Jon Heacock of LucidWorks stated that `` for the first ten years ( seasons ) , the show was consistently at the top of its game '' , with `` so many moments , quotations , and references -- both epic and obscure -- that helped turn the Simpson family into the cultural icons that they remain to this day . '' Mike Scully , who was showrunner during seasons nine through twelve , has been the subject of criticism . Chris Suellentrop of Slate wrote that `` under Scully 's tenure , The Simpsons became , well , a cartoon ... Episodes that once would have ended with Homer and Marge bicycling into the sunset now end with Homer blowing a tranquilizer dart into Marge 's neck . The show 's still funny , but it has n't been touching in years . '' When asked in 2007 how the series ' longevity is sustained , Scully joked : `` Lower your quality standards . Once you 've done that you can go on forever . '' Al Jean , showrunner since season thirteen , has also been the subject of criticism , with some arguing that the show has continued to decline in quality under his tenure . Former writers have complained that under Jean , the show is `` on auto - pilot '' , `` too sentimental '' , and the episodes are `` just being cranked out . '' Some critics believe that the show has `` entered a steady decline under Jean and is no longer really funny . '' John Ortved , author of The Simpsons : An Uncensored , Unauthorized History , characterized the Jean era as `` toothless '' , and criticized what he perceived as the show 's increase in social and political commentary . Jean responded : `` Well , it 's possible that we 've declined . But honestly , I 've been here the whole time and I do remember in season two people saying , ' It 's gone downhill . ' If we 'd listened to that then we would have stopped after episode 13 . I 'm glad we did n't . '' In 2004 , Harry Shearer criticized what he perceived as the show 's declining quality : `` I rate the last three seasons as among the worst , so season four looks very good to me now . '' Dan Castellaneta responded : `` I do n't agree , ... I think Harry 's issue is that the show is n't as grounded as it was in the first three or four seasons , that it 's gotten crazy or a little more madcap . I think it organically changes to stay fresh . '' Also in 2004 author Douglas Coupland described claims of declining quality in the series as `` hogwash '' , saying `` The Simpsons has n't fumbled the ball in fourteen years , it 's hardly likely to fumble it now . '' In an April 2006 interview , Groening said : `` I honestly do n't see any end in sight . I think it 's possible that the show will become too financially cumbersome ... but right now , the show is creatively , I think , as good or better than it 's ever been . The animation is incredibly detailed and imaginative , and the stories do things that we have n't done before . So creatively there 's no reason to quit . '' In 2016 , popular culture writer Anna Leszkiewicz suggested that even though The Simpsons still holds cultural relevance , contemporary appeal is only for the first ten seasons , with recent episodes only garnering mainstream attention when a favorite character from the golden era is killed off , or when new information and shock twists are given for old characters . The series ' ratings have also declined ; while the first season enjoyed an average of 13.4 million viewing households per episode in the U.S. , the twenty - first season had an average of 7.2 million viewers . Alan Sepinwall and Matt Zoller Seitz argued in their 2016 book titled TV ( The Book ) that the peak of The Simpsons are `` roughly seasons ( three through twelve ) '' , and that despite the decline , episodes from the later seasons such as `` Eternal Moonshine of the Simpson Mind '' and `` Holidays of Future Passed '' could be considered on par with the earlier classic episodes , further stating that `` even if you want to call the show today a thin shadow of its former self , think about how mind - boggingly great its former self had to be for so - diminished a version to be watchable at all . '' Other media Main article : The Simpsons ( franchise ) Comic Books Main article : List of The Simpsons comics Numerous Simpson - related comic books have been released over the years . So far , nine comic book series have been published by Bongo Comics since 1993 . The first comic strips based on The Simpsons appeared in 1991 in the magazine Simpsons Illustrated , which was a companion magazine to the show . The comic strips were popular and a one - shot comic book titled Simpsons Comics and Stories , containing four different stories , was released in 1993 for the fans . The book was a success and due to this , the creator of The Simpsons , Matt Groening , and his companions Bill Morrison , Mike Rote , Steve Vance and Cindy Vance created the publishing company Bongo Comics . Issues of Simpsons Comics , Bart Simpson 's Treehouse of Horror and Bart Simpson have been collected and reprinted in trade paperbacks in the United States by HarperCollins . Film Main article : The Simpsons Movie A Seattle 7 - Eleven store transformed into a Kwik - E-Mart as part of a promotion for The Simpsons Movie . 20th Century Fox , Gracie Films , and Film Roman produced The Simpsons Movie , an animated film that was released on July 27 , 2007 . The film was directed by long - time Simpsons producer David Silverman and written by a team of Simpsons writers comprising Matt Groening , James L. Brooks , Al Jean , George Meyer , Mike Reiss , John Swartzwelder , Jon Vitti , David Mirkin , Mike Scully , Matt Selman , and Ian Maxtone - Graham . Production of the film occurred alongside continued writing of the series despite long - time claims by those involved in the show that a film would enter production only after the series had concluded . There had been talk of a possible feature - length Simpsons film ever since the early seasons of the series . James L. Brooks originally thought that the story of the episode `` Kamp Krusty '' was suitable for a film , but he encountered difficulties in trying to expand the script to feature - length . For a long time , difficulties such as lack of a suitable story and an already fully engaged crew of writers delayed the project . Music Main article : The Simpsons discography Collections of original music featured in the series have been released on the albums Songs in the Key of Springfield , Go Simpsonic with The Simpsons and The Simpsons : Testify . Several songs have been recorded with the purpose of a single or album release and have not been featured on the show . The album The Simpsons Sing the Blues was released in September 1990 and was a success , peaking at # 3 on the Billboard 200 and becoming certified 2 × platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America . The first single from the album was the pop rap song `` Do the Bartman '' , performed by Nancy Cartwright and released on November 20 , 1990 . The song was written by Michael Jackson , although he did not receive any credit . The Yellow Album was released in 1998 , but received poor reception and did not chart in any country . The Simpsons ride Main article : The Simpsons Ride The Simpsons Ride at Universal Studios Florida . In 2007 , it was officially announced that The Simpsons Ride , a simulator ride , would be implemented into the Universal Studios Orlando and Universal Studios Hollywood . It officially opened May 15 , 2008 in Florida and May 19 , 2008 , in Hollywood . In the ride , patrons are introduced to a cartoon theme park called Krustyland built by Krusty the Clown . However , Sideshow Bob is loose from prison to get revenge on Krusty and the Simpson family . It features more than 24 regular characters from The Simpsons and features the voices of the regular cast members , as well as Pamela Hayden , Russi Taylor and Kelsey Grammer . Harry Shearer did not participate in the ride , so none of his characters have vocal parts . Video games Further information : List of The Simpsons video games Numerous video games based on the show have been produced . Some of the early games include Konami 's arcade game The Simpsons ( 1991 ) and Acclaim Entertainment 's The Simpsons : Bart vs. the Space Mutants ( 1991 ) . More modern games include The Simpsons : Road Rage ( 2001 ) , The Simpsons : Hit & Run ( 2003 ) and The Simpsons Game ( 2007 ) . Electronic Arts , which produced The Simpsons Game , has owned the exclusive rights to create video games based on the show since 2005 . In 2010 , they released a game called The Simpsons Arcade for iOS . Another EA - produced mobile game , Tapped Out , was released in 2012 for iOS users , then in 2013 for Android and Kindle users . Two Simpsons pinball machines have been produced : one that was available briefly after the first season , and another in 2007 , both out of production . Syndication and streaming availability The cable television network FXX has exclusive cable and digital syndication rights for The Simpsons . Original contracts had previously stated that syndication rights for The Simpsons would not be sold to cable until the series conclusion , at a time when cable syndication deals were highly rare . The series has been syndicated to local broadcast stations in nearly all markets throughout the United States since September 1993 . FXX premiered The Simpsons on their network on August 21 , 2014 by starting a twelve - day marathon which featured the first 552 episodes ( every single episode that had already been released at the time ) aired chronologically , including The Simpsons Movie , which FX Networks had already owned the rights to air . It was the longest continuous marathon in the history of television ( until VH1 Classic aired a 433 - hour , nineteen - day , marathon of Saturday Night Live in 2015 ; celebrating that program 's 40th anniversary ) . The first day of the marathon was the highest rated broadcast day in the history of the network so far , the ratings more than tripled that those of regular prime time programming for FXX . Ratings during the first six nights of the marathon grew night after night , with the network ranking within the top 5 networks in basic cable each night . On October 21 , 2014 , a digital service courtesy of the FXNOW app , called Simpsons World , launched . Simpsons World has every episode of the series accessible to authenticated FX subscribers , and is available on game consoles such as Xbox One , streaming devices such as Roku and Apple TV , and online via web browser . There was early criticism of both wrong aspect ratios for earlier episodes and the length of commercial breaks on the streaming service , but there are now fewer commercial breaks during individual episodes . Later it was announced that Simpsons World would now let users watch all of the SD episodes in their original format . In July 2017 , all episodes were made available for purchase on the iTunes Store , in the United States . Merchandise See also : List of The Simpsons books and List of The Simpsons home video releases The popularity of The Simpsons has made it a billion - dollar merchandising industry . The title family and supporting characters appear on everything from T - shirts to posters . The Simpsons has been used as a theme for special editions of well - known board games , including Clue , Scrabble , Monopoly , Operation , and The Game of Life , as well as the trivia games What Would Homer Do ? and Simpsons Jeopardy !. Several card games such as trump cards and The Simpsons Trading Card Game have also been released . Many official or unofficial Simpsons books such as episode guides have been published . Many episodes of the show have been released on DVD and VHS over the years . When the first season DVD was released in 2001 , it quickly became the best - selling television DVD in history , although it was later overtaken by the first season of Chappelle 's Show . In particular , seasons one through seventeen have been released on DVD in the U.S. ( Region 1 ) , Europe ( Region 2 ) and Australia / New Zealand / Latin America ( Region 4 ) . However , on April 19 , 2015 , Al Jean announced that the Season 17 DVD would be the last one ever produced , leaving the collection from Season 1 to 17 , Season 20 ( released out of schedule in 2009 ) , with Seasons 18 , 19 , and 21 onwards unreleased . Jean also stated that the deleted scenes and commentary would try to be released to the Simpsons World app , and that they were pushing for Simpsons World to be expanded outside of the U.S. Two years later , however , on July 22 , 2017 , it was announced that Season 18 will be released on December 5 , 2017 on DVD . In 2003 , about 500 companies around the world were licensed to use Simpsons characters in their advertising . As a promotion for The Simpsons Movie , twelve 7 - Eleven stores were transformed into Kwik - E-Marts and sold The Simpsons related products . These included `` Buzz Cola '' , `` Krusty - O '' cereal , pink doughnuts with sprinkles , and `` Squishees '' . In 2008 consumers around the world spent $750 million on merchandise related to The Simpsons , with half of the amount originating from the United States . By 2009 , 20th Century Fox had greatly increased merchandising efforts . On April 9 , 2009 , the United States Postal Service unveiled a series of five 44 - cent stamps featuring Homer , Marge , Bart , Lisa and Maggie , to commemorate the show 's twentieth anniversary . The Simpsons is the first television series still in production to receive this recognition . The stamps , designed by Matt Groening , were made available for purchase on May 7 , 2009 . Approximately one billion were printed , but only 318 million were sold , costing the Postal Service $1.2 million . References Notes Jump up ^ Ortved , John ( October 12 , 2010 ) .

It is a prequel to the popular 1980s manga Fist of the North Star , which Hara originally illustrated with Buronson writing . Set primarily in Shanghai during the 1930s , the series centers on the 62nd successor of the Hokuto Shinken martial arts style , Kenshiro Kasumi , the namesake and predecessor of Kenshiro from Fist of the North Star . The manga was adapted into a 26 - episode anime series that aired on TV Asahi from 2006 to 2007 . A continuation of the manga , titled Sōten no Ken : Re : Genesis ( 蒼天の拳 RE : GENESIS ) , began serialization in the December 2017 issue of Comic Zenon . It is written by Hiroyuki Yatsu and illustrated by Hideki Tsuji . An anime adaptation of this series began airing on April 2 , 2018 on Tokyo MX . Contents 1 Plot 2 Production 3 Media 3.1 Manga 3.2 Anime 4 References 5 External links Plot ( edit ) Further information : List of Fist of the Blue Sky characters The main protagonist of this story is Kenshiro Kasumi , better known as `` Yan Wang '' or `` The King of Hell '' . Kenshiro is a laid back and chain - smoking Tokyo professor who is secretly the successor of the deadly Chinese assassin martial art Hokuto Shinken . He travels to Shanghai after hearing that his Triad friend Pan Guang - Lin and love interest Pan Yu - Ling are in trouble . In Shanghai , Kenshiro fights the three Hokuto families , the Hokuto Sankaken ( based on the royal families of Romance of the Three Kingdoms ) . At the same time he helps Pan 's Qīng Bāng triad against their rivals , the immoral Hóng Huá Huì , in gaining territory and influence in Shanghai . Production ( edit ) Many of the plot points mentioned in the comic contain real historical facts , such as how Shanghai was controlled by the foreign concessions ( the story focus mainly on the French settlement ) during the 1930s . Also seen are Jewish refugees who escaped from Nazi persecution in Europe , and the invasion of China by the Japanese Army . Chiang Kai - shek and some historical Kuomintang figures appear in the story as well . Tetsuo Hara wanted the fights in the manga to look more like traditional Chinese martial arts , so the action is somewhat faster and more detailed than those in Fist of the North Star . Hara went to Shanghai in person to get his inspiration . Tetsuo Hara describes the protagonist Kenshiro Kasumi as a combination of the strength of Kenshiro , the good nature of Keiji Maeda from Hana no Keiji and the sarcastic attitude of the title character of Nakabo Rintaro . Media ( edit ) Manga ( edit ) Written and illustrated by Tetsuo Hara , Fist of the Blue Sky was serialized in Weekly Comic Bunch throughout the magazine 's entire history . Beginning in its first issue with the cover date of May 29 , 2001 , the chapters were published irregularly until the final issue in August 2010 . Publisher Shinchosha collected the chapters into 22 tankōbon volumes . An English version of Fist of the Blue Sky was serialized in the now - defunct manga anthology Raijin Comics published by Gutsoon ! Entertainment from 2002 to 2004 . Four collected volumes were published by Gutsoon under their Raijin Graphic Novels imprint before the company went out of business and ceased publication of all their titles . A continuation of the manga , titled Sōten no Ken : Re : Genesis ( 蒼天の拳 RE : GENESIS ) , began serialization in the December 2017 issue of Comic Zenon .

1131291300706367814	Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori	Dulce et Decorum est pro patria mori - wikipedia Dulce et Decorum est pro patria mori Jump to : navigation , search Detail of the inscription over the rear entrance to Memorial Amphitheater at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington , Virginia . The inscription reads : `` Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori '' . Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori is a line from the Roman lyrical poet Horace 's Odes ( III. 2.13 ) . The line can be translated as : `` It is sweet and proper to die for the fatherland . '' As a consequence of Wilfred Owen incorporating the phrase into his similarly titled poem , `` Dulce et Decorum Est '' , it is now often referred to as `` the Old Lie '' ; see below . Contents ( hide ) 1 Context 2 Uses in art and literature 3 Use as a motto and inscription 3.1 Organizations 4 See also 5 References 6 External links Context ( edit ) The poem from which the line comes , exhorts Roman citizens to develop martial prowess such that the enemies of Rome , in particular the Parthians , will be too terrified to resist the Romans . In John Conington 's translation , the relevant passage reads : Angustam amice pauperiem pati robustus acri militia puer condiscat et Parthos ferocis vexet eques metuendus hasta vitamque sub divo et trepidis agat in rebus . Illum ex moenibus hosticis matrona bellantis tyranni prospiciens et adulta virgo suspiret , eheu , ne rudis agminum sponsus lacessat regius asperum tactu leonem , quem cruenta per medias rapit ira caedes . Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori : mors et fugacem persequitur virum nec parcit inbellis iuventae poplitibus timidove tergo . To suffer hardness with good cheer , In sternest school of warfare bred , Our youth should learn ; let steed and spear Make him one day the Parthian 's dread ; Cold skies , keen perils , brace his life . Methinks I see from rampired town Some battling tyrant 's matron wife , Some maiden , look in terror down , -- `` Ah , my dear lord , untrain 'd in war ! O tempt not the infuriate mood Of that fell lion I see ! from far He plunges through a tide of blood ! '' What joy , for fatherland to die ! Death 's darts e'en flying feet o'ertake , Nor spare a recreant chivalry , A back that cowers , or loins that quake . A humorous elaboration of the original line was used as a toast in the 19th century : `` Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori , sed dulcius pro patria vivere , et dulcissimum pro patria bibere . Ergo , bibamus pro salute patriae . '' A reasonable English translation would be : `` It is sweet and fitting to die for the homeland , but sweeter still to live for the homeland , and sweetest yet to drink for the homeland . So , let us drink to the health of the homeland . '' Uses in art and literature ( edit ) Perhaps the most famous modern use of the phrase is as the title of a poem , `` Dulce et Decorum est '' , by British poet Wilfred Owen during World War I. Owen 's poem describes a gas attack during World War I and is one of his many anti-war poems that were not published until after the war ended . In the final lines of the poem , the Horatian phrase is described as `` the old lie '' . It is believed , and illustrated by the original copy of the poem , that Owen intended to dedicate the poem ironically to Jessie Pope , a popular writer who glorified the war and recruited `` laddies '' who `` longed to charge and shoot '' in simplistically patriotic poems like `` The Call '' . `` Died some , pro patria , non ' dulce ' non ' et decor ' ... '' from part IV of Ezra Pound 's `` Hugh Selwyn Mauberley '' , a damning indictment of World War I ; `` Daring as never before , wastage as never before . '' In a 1915 school essay , German playwright Bertolt Brecht referred to the phrase as Zweckpropaganda ( cheap propaganda for a specific cause ) and pointed out that `` It is sweeter and more fitting to live for one 's country , '' an essay for which he was nearly expelled . The title of Damon Knight 's 1955 short story `` Dulcie and Decorum '' is an ironic play on the first three words of the phrase ; the story is about computers that induce humans to kill themselves . The film Johnny Got His Gun ends with this saying , along with casualty statistics since World War I . In the film All Quiet on the Western Front a teacher quotes this early on while talking to his class . In his book And No Birds Sang , chronicling his service in Italy with the Canadian army during World War II , Farley Mowat quotes Wilfred Owen 's poem on the opening pages and addresses `` the Old Lie '' in the final section of the book . Tim O'Brien quotes the line in the book If I Die in a Combat Zone , Box Me Up and Ship Me Home . In Margaret Mitchell 's Gone with the Wind , the Tarleton brothers are buried under a tombstone which bears the phrase . The last words attributed to the Israeli national hero Yosef Trumpeldor - `` It is good to die for our country '' ( טוב למות בעד ארצנו ) - are considered to be derived from Horace 's , and were a frequently used Zionist slogan in the early 20th century . In William Makepeace Thackeray 's novel Vanity Fair the quote appears of George Osborne 's tombstone after he dies fighting for England at Waterloo . In Thomas Wolfe 's Look Homeward , Angel : A Story of the Buried Life after the outbreak of World War I , adolescent Eugene , encouraged by his teacher , Margaret Leonard , devours stories of wartime courage ( R. Brooke 's `` If I Should die ... '' and R. Hanky 's A Student in Arms ) , and fueled by these stories , composes his own , to the ever - present literary - referenced commentary by Wolfe . Karl Marlantes ' novel Matterhorn : A Novel of the Vietnam War features a mock - mass between Mellas and others , in which the line is satirically quoted . The British rock band Kasabian posts the quote at the end of the music video for their song , Empire . The British rock band The Damned released a single named In Dulce Decorum in 1987 . American band Kamelot quotes the line in the song Memento Mori , from their seventh album , The Black Halo . British folk - metal band Skyclad uses the quote in the song Jeopardy , in their album , The Silent Whales of Lunar Sea . The British dark cabaret act The Tiger Lillies include a song called `` Dulce et Decorum Est '' in the album `` A Dream Turns Sour '' from 2014 . This is a reading of the Wilfred Owen poem with music written by Martyn Jacques . Use as a motto and inscription ( edit ) This section needs additional citations for verification .

New Testament ( between c. 50 -- 110 CE -- see Table IV ) . Table II : Hebrew Bible / Protestant Old Testament ( edit ) Torah Date or range of dates most widely held by scholars Book of Genesis Book of Exodus Book of Leviticus Book of Numbers Book of Deuteronomy The majority of modern biblical scholars believe that the Torah -- the books of Genesis , Exodus , Leviticus , Numbers and Deuteronomy -- reached its present form in the post-Exilic period . The five books are drawn from four `` sources '' ( distinct schools of writers rather than individuals ) : the Priestly source , the Yahwist and the Elohist ( these two are often referred to collectively as the `` non-Priestly '' source ) , and the Deuteronomist . There is general agreement that the Priestly source is post-exilic , but there is no agreement over the non-Priestly source ( s ) . Genesis is a post-exilic work combining `` Priestly '' and `` non-Priestly '' material . Exodus is an anthology drawn from nearly all periods of Israel 's history . Leviticus is entirely Priestly and dates from the exilic / post-exilic period . Numbers is a Priestly redaction ( i.e. , editing ) of a Yahwistic / non-Priestly original . Deuteronomy , now the last book of the Torah , began as the set of religious laws ( these make up the bulk of the book ) , was extended in the early part of the 6th century to serve as the introduction to the Deuteronomistic history , and later still was detached from that history , extended yet again , and edited to conclude the Torah . Prophets Date or range of dates most widely held by scholars Former Prophets : Book of Joshua Book of Judges Books of Samuel Books of Kings This group of books , plus Deuteronomy , is called the `` Deuteronomistic history '' by scholars . The proposal that they made up a unified work was first advanced by Martin Noth in 1943 , and has been widely accepted . Noth proposed that the entire history was the creation of a single individual working in the exilic period ( 6th century BCE ) ; since then there has been wide recognition that the history appeared in two `` editions '' , the first in the reign of Judah 's King Josiah ( late 7th century ) , the second during the exile ( 6th century ) . Noth 's dating was based on the assumption that the history was completed very soon after its last recorded event , the release of King Jehoiachin in Babylon c. 560 BCE ; but some scholars have termed his reasoning inadequate , and the history may have been further extended in the post-exilic period . Three Major Prophets : Book of Isaiah Book of Jeremiah Book of Ezekiel Scholars recognise three `` sections '' in the Book of Isaiah : Proto - Isaiah ( the original 8th century Isaiah ) ; Deutero - Isaiah ( an anonymous prophet living in Babylon during the exile ) ; and Trito - Isaiah ( an anonymous author or authors in Jerusalem immediately after the exile ) . The Book of Jeremiah exists in two versions , Greek ( the version used in Orthodox Christian Bibles ) and Hebrew ( Jewish , Catholic and Protestant Bibles ) , with the Greek representing the earlier version . The Greek version was probably finalised in the early Persian period and translated into Greek in the 3rd century BCE , and the Hebrew version dates from some point between then and the 2nd century BCE . The Book of Ezekiel describes itself as the words of the Ezekiel ben - Buzi , a priest living in exile in the city of Babylon , and internal evidence dates the visions to between 593 and 571 BCE . While the book probably reflects much of the historic Ezekiel , it is the product of a long and complex history , with significant additions by a `` school '' of later followers . Twelve Minor Prophets In the Hebrew Bible the Twelve Minor Prophets are a single collection edited in the Second Temple period , but the collection is broken up in Christian Bibles . With the exception of Jonah , which is a fictional work , there exists an original core of prophetic tradition behind each book : Book of Hosea : second half of the 8th century BCE Book of Joel : late Persian or Hellenistic Book of Amos : first half of the 8th century Book of Obadiah : around the time of the fall of Jerusalem , 586 BCE Book of Jonah : Persian or Hellenistic , no later than 2nd century BCE Book of Micah : c. 750 -- 700 BCE Book of Nahum : an `` oracle concerning Nineveh '' , the Assyrian city destroyed in 612 BCE Book of Habakkuk : possibly shortly before the battle of Carchemish , 605 BCE Book of Zephaniah : reign of Josiah Book of Haggai : self - dated to the second year of the Persian king Darius ( Darius the Great ) , 520 BCE Book of Zechariah : first eight chapters contemporary with Haggai ; chapters 9 -- 14 from the 5th century Book of Malachi : 5th century BCE , contemporaneous or immediately prior to the missions of Nehemiah and Ezra ( which , however , are themselves difficult to date ) Writings Date or range of dates most widely held by scholars Wisdom collection : Job , Ecclesiastes and Proverbs The books of Job , Ecclesiastes and Proverbs share a similar outlook which they themselves call `` wisdom '' . It is generally agreed that Job comes from between the 7th and 4th centuries BCE , with the 6th century as the most likely . Ecclesiastes can be no earlier than about 450 BCE , due to the presence of Persian loan - words and Aramaic idioms , and no later than 180 BCE , when the Jewish writer Ben Sira quotes from it . Proverbs is a `` collection of collections '' relating to a pattern of life which lasted for more than a millennium , and impossible to date . Poetic works : Psalms and Lamentations The psalms making up the first two - thirds of the psalter are predominantly pre-exilic and the last third predominantly post-exilic . The collected book of Psalms was possibly given its modern shape and division into five parts in the post-exilic period , although it continued to be revised and expanded well into Hellenistic and even Roman times . It is generally accepted that the destruction of Jerusalem by Babylon in 586 BCE forms the background to the Book of Lamentations . Histories : Chronicles and Ezra - Nehemiah Chronicles was composed between 400 -- 250 BCE , probably in the period 350 -- 300 BCE ; Ezra - Nehemiah ( two books in modern Bibles , but originally one ) may have reached its final form as late as the Ptolemaic period , c. 300 -- 200 BCE . Miscellaneous works : Book of Ruth , Book of Esther , Book of Daniel , Song of Songs The Book of Ruth is commonly dated to the Persian period ; Esther to the 3rd or 4th centuries BCE ; the Book of Daniel can be dated more precisely to 164 BCE thanks to its veiled prophecy of the death of a Greek king of Syria ; and the Song of Songs could have been composed at any time after the 6th century BCE . Table III : Deuterocanonical Old Testament ( edit ) Book Date or range of dates most widely held by scholars Tobit 225 -- 175 BCE , on the basis of apparent use of language and references common to the post-exilic period , but lack of knowledge of the 2nd century BCE persecution of Jews . Judith 150 -- 100 BCE , although estimates range from the 5th century BCE to the 2nd century CE . 1 Maccabees 100 BCE 2 Maccabees c. 100 BCE 3 Maccabees 100 -- 75 BCE `` very probable '' 4 Maccabees mid-1st century CE Wisdom of Solomon late 1st century BCE / early 1st century CE , on the basis of shared outlook with other works dating from this time . Sirach 196 -- 175 BCE , as the author implies that Simon the high priest had died ( 196 BCE ) , but shows no knowledge of the persecution of the Jews that began after 175 BCE . Additions to Daniel Prayer of Azariah ( Song of the Three Holy Children ) ; Bel and the Dragon : late 6th century ; Susanna and the Elders : possibly 95 -- 80 BCE Baruch and Letter of Jeremiah 2nd century BCE , as Baruch uses Sirach ( written c. 180 BCE ) and is in turn used by the Psalms of Solomon ( mid-1st century BCE ) . The Letter of Jeremiah , ch. 6 : 1 -- 73 of the Book of Baruch , is sometimes considered a separate book . Table IV : New Testament ( edit ) Book Date or range of dates most widely held by scholars Earliest known fragment Gospel of Matthew 80 -- 90 CE . This is based on three strands of evidence : ( a ) the setting of Matthew reflects the final separation of Church and Synagogue , about 85 CE ; ( b ) it reflects the capture of Jerusalem and destruction of the Temple by the Romans in 70 CE ; ( c ) it uses Mark , usually dated around 70 CE , as a source . P ( \ displaystyle ( \ mathfrak ( P ) ) ) ( 150 -- 200 CE ) Gospel of Mark 68 -- 70 CE . References to persecution and to war in Judea suggest that its context was either Nero 's persecution of the Christians in Rome or the Jewish revolt . P ( \ displaystyle ( \ mathfrak ( P ) ) ) ( 250 CE ) Gospel of Luke 80 -- 90 CE , with some scholars suggesting 90 -- 100 . There is evidence , both textual ( the conflicts between Western and Alexandrian manuscript families ) and from the Marcionite controversy ( Marcion was a 2nd - century heretic who produced his own version of Christian scripture based on Luke 's gospel and Paul 's epistles ) that Luke - Acts was still being substantially revised well into the 2nd century . P ( \ displaystyle ( \ mathfrak ( P ) ) ) , P ( \ displaystyle ( \ mathfrak ( P ) ) ) ( 175 -- 250 CE ) Gospel of John 90 -- 110 CE , the upper date based on textual evidence that the gospel was known in the early 2nd century , and the lower on an internal reference to the expulsion of Christians from the synagogues . P ( \ displaystyle ( \ mathfrak ( P ) ) ) ( 125 -- 160 CE ) Acts 95 -- 100 CE . If Acts uses Josephus as a source , as has been proposed , then it must have been composed after 93 CE ; the social situation is one in which the faithful need `` shepherds '' to protect them from heretical `` wolves '' , which again reflects a late date . P ( \ displaystyle ( \ mathfrak ( P ) ) ) , P ( \ displaystyle ( \ mathfrak ( P ) ) ) , P ( \ displaystyle ( \ mathfrak ( P ) ) ) , P ( \ displaystyle ( \ mathfrak ( P ) ) ) , P ( \ displaystyle ( \ mathfrak ( P ) ) ) ( 250 CE ) Romans c. 57 CE . One of the genuine Pauline letters , written to the Romans as Paul was about to leave Asia Minor and Greece , and expressing his hopes to continue his work in Spain . P ( \ displaystyle ( \ mathfrak ( P ) ) ) ( late 2nd century or 3rd century CE ) Corinthians c. 56 CE . Another of the Genuine Pauline letters . Paul expresses his intention to re-visit the church he founded in the city c. 50 -- 52 CE . P ( \ displaystyle ( \ mathfrak ( P ) ) ) ( late 2nd century or 3rd century CE ) Galatians c. 55 CE . Paul does not express any wish to revisit the church in Galatia , which he founded , and so some scholars believe the letter dates from the end of his missionary work . The letter concerns the question of whether Gentile converts are required to adopt full Jewish customs . P ( \ displaystyle ( \ mathfrak ( P ) ) ) ( late 2nd century or 3rd century CE ) Ephesians c. 80 -- 90 CE . The letter appears to have been written after Paul 's death in Rome , by an author who uses his name . P ( \ displaystyle ( \ mathfrak ( P ) ) ) ( late 2nd century or 3rd century CE ) Philippians c. 54 -- 55 CE . A genuine Pauline letter , it mentions `` Caesar 's household , '' leading some scholars to believe that it is written from Rome , but some of the news in it could not have come from Rome . It seems rather to date from an earlier imprisonment , perhaps in Ephesus , from which Paul hopes to be released . P ( \ displaystyle ( \ mathfrak ( P ) ) ) ( late 2nd century or 3rd century CE ) Colossians c. 62 -- 70 CE . Some scholars believe Colossians dates from Paul 's imprisonment in Ephesus around 55 CE , but differences in the theology suggest that it comes from much later in his career , around the time of his imprisonment in Rome . P ( \ displaystyle ( \ mathfrak ( P ) ) ) ( late 2nd century or 3rd century CE ) 1 Thessalonians c. 51 CE . One of the earliest of the genuine Pauline epistles . P ( \ displaystyle ( \ mathfrak ( P ) ) ) ( late 2nd century or 3rd century CE ) 2 Thessalonians c. 51 CE or post-70 CE . If this is a genuine Pauline epistle it follows closely on 1 Thessalonians . But some of the language and theology point to a much later date , from an unknown author using Paul 's name . P ( \ displaystyle ( \ mathfrak ( P ) ) ) ( 300 CE ) 1 Timothy , 2 Timothy , Epistle to Titus c. 100 CE . The two Timothy epistles and Titus reflect a much more developed Church organisation than that reflected in the genuine Pauline epistles . Codex Sinaiticus ( 350 CE ) P ( \ displaystyle ( \ mathfrak ( P ) ) ) ( 200 CE ) Philemon c. 54 -- 55 CE . A genuine Pauline epistle , written from an imprisonment ( probably in Ephesus ) that Paul expects will soon be over . P ( \ displaystyle ( \ mathfrak ( P ) ) ) ( 3rd century CE ) Hebrews c. 80 -- 90 CE . The elegance of the Greek and the sophistication of the theology do not fit the genuine Pauline epistles , but the mention of Timothy in the conclusion led to its being included with the Pauline group from an early date . P ( \ displaystyle ( \ mathfrak ( P ) ) ) ( late 2nd century or 3rd century CE ) James c. 65 -- 85 CE . Like Hebrews , James is not so much a letter as an exhortation ; the style of the Greek makes it unlikely that it was actually written by James the brother of Jesus . P ( \ displaystyle ( \ mathfrak ( P ) ) ) , P ( \ displaystyle ( \ mathfrak ( P ) ) ) ( early 3rd century CE ) First Peter c. 75 -- 90 CE P ( \ displaystyle ( \ mathfrak ( P ) ) ) ( 3rd / 4th century CE ) Second Peter c. 110 CE . This is apparently the latest writing in the New Testament , quoting from Jude , assuming a knowledge of the Pauline letters , and including a reference to the gospel story of the Transfiguration of Christ . P ( \ displaystyle ( \ mathfrak ( P ) ) ) ( 3rd / 4th century CE ) Epistles of John 90 -- 110 CE . The letters give no clear indication , but scholars tend to place them about a decade after the Gospel of John . P ( \ displaystyle ( \ mathfrak ( P ) ) ) , Uncial 0232 , Codex Sinaiticus ( 3rd / 4th century CE ) Jude Uncertain . The references to `` brother of James '' and to `` what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold '' suggest that it was written after the apostolic letters were in circulation , but before 2 Peter , which uses it . P ( \ displaystyle ( \ mathfrak ( P ) ) ) ( 3rd / 4th century CE ) Revelation c. 95 CE . The date is suggested by clues in the visions pointing to the reign of the emperor Domitian .

She wrote and produced the song with Walter Afanasieff . Columbia Records released it on November 1 , 1994 , as the lead single from her first holiday album and fourth studio album , Merry Christmas . `` Christmas '' is an uptempo love song that includes bell chimes and heavy back - up vocals , as well as use of synthesizers . Two music videos were commissioned for the song : the song 's primary music video features grainy home - movie - style footage of Carey , her dogs and family during the holiday season , as well as Carey dressed in a Santa suit frolicking on a snowy mountainside . Carey 's then - husband Tommy Mottola makes a cameo appearance as Santa Claus , bringing Carey a gift and leaving on a red sleigh . The second video was filmed in black and white format , and features Carey dressed in 1960s style in homage to The Ronettes , alongside back up singers and female dancers . Carey has performed `` All I Want for Christmas Is You '' in a slew of live television appearances and tours throughout her career . In 2010 , Carey re-recorded the song for her second holiday album , Merry Christmas II You , titled `` All I Want for Christmas Is You ( Extra Festive ) '' . Carey also re-recorded the song as a duet with Canadian singer Justin Bieber for his 2011 album Under the Mistletoe , titled `` All I Want for Christmas for You ( SuperFestive ! ) '' . The song has also been covered by many artists over the years . In the years since its original release , `` All I Want for Christmas Is You '' has been critically lauded and has become established as a Christmas standard ; it was once called `` one of the few worthy modern additions to the holiday canon '' in The New Yorker , and continues to surge in popularity each holiday season . The song was commercially successful , topping the charts in Hungary and the Netherlands while reaching number two in Australia , Japan , Norway , and the United Kingdom , and the top 10 in several other countries . The Daily Telegraph hailed `` All I Want for Christmas Is You '' as the most popular and most played Christmas song of the decade in the United Kingdom . Rolling Stone ranked it fourth on its Greatest Rock and Roll Christmas Songs list , calling it a `` holiday standard . '' In December 2015 , the song peaked at 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 , making it its highest peak since its original release . With global sales of over 14 million copies , the song remains Carey 's biggest international success . As of 2013 , the song was reported to have earned $50 million in royalties .

Carey 's then - husband , Tommy Mottola , head of Columbia 's parent label Sony Music Entertainment , began mapping out possible follow ups for the singer during the pinnacle years of her career . During initial discussions regarding the thought of doing a Christmas - themed album with Carey and her writing partner of over four years , Walter Afanasieff , fear arose that it was not commercially expedient or wise to release holiday music at the peak of one 's career , as it was more often equated with a release towards the end of a musician 's waning career . Afanasieff recalled his sentiments during initial discussions for a holiday record : `` Back then , you did n't have a lot of artists with Christmas albums . It was n't a known science at all back then , and there was nobody who did new , big Christmas songs . So we were going to release it as kind of an everyday , ' Hey , you know , we 're putting out a Christmas album . No big deal . ' '' Ultimately , with Mottola 's persistence and Carey 's initiative to be a `` risk - taker '' as Afanasieff put it , the song and its parent album , Merry Christmas , began taking form in early - mid 1994 . Recording for the album began in June , while the Carey - Afanasieff songwriting duo penned `` All I Want for Christmas Is You '' in late August . Often referencing herself a festive person and demonstrating a usual penchant for her love of all things Christmas , Carey began decorating the home she shared with Mottola in upstate New York ( which also came equipped with a personal recording studio ) with Christmas ornaments and other holiday - inspired trinkets . In doing so , Carey felt she could capture the essence and spirit of what she was singing and make her vocal performance and delivery more emotive and authentic . The songwriting pair carved out the chords , structure and melody for the song in just a quarter of an hour : `` It 's definitely not ' Swan Lake , ' ' admits Afanasieff . ' But that 's why it 's so popular -- because it 's so simple and palatable ! '' . At first , Afanasieff admitted that he was puzzled and `` blanched '' as to where Carey wanted to take the melody and vocal scales , though she was `` adamant '' in her direction for the song . In an interview with Billboard , Afanasieff described the type of relationship he and Carey shared in the studio and as songwriters for the song and in general : It was always the same sort of system with us . We would write the nucleus of the song , the melody primary music , and then some of the words were there as we finished writing it . I started playing some rock ' n ' roll piano and started boogie woogie - ing my left hand , and that inspired Mariah to come up with the melodic ( Sings . ) ' I do n't want a lot for Christmas . ' And then we started singing and playing around with this rock ' n ' roll boogie song , which immediately came out to be the nucleus of what would end up being ' All I Want For Christmas Is You . ' That one went very quickly : It was an easier song to write than some of the other ones . It was very formulaic , not a lot of chord changes . I tried to make it a little more unique , putting in some special chords that you really do n't hear a lot of , which made it unique and special . Then for the next week or two Mariah would call me and say , ' What do you think about this bit ? ' We would talk a little bit until she got the lyrics all nicely coordinated and done . And then we just waited until the sessions began , which were in the summer of ' 94 where we got together in New York and started recording . And that 's when we first hear her at the microphone singing , and the rest is history . Afanasieff flew back to California where he finished the song 's programming and production . Originally , he had a live band play the drums and other instruments with the thought of giving it a more raw and affective sound . He was unhappy with the results of the recording and subsequently scrapped the effort and used his original , personal arrangement and programmed all the instruments heard on the song ( with the exception of the background vocals ) including the piano , effects , drums and triangle . While Carey continued writing material in her rented home in The Hamptons , Afanasieff completed the song 's programming and awaited to rendezvous with her a final time in order to layer and harmonize the background vocals . In touching on several aspects of what excited her to record and release a Christmas album , Carey went into detail on what writing and recording the song and album meant for her : `` I 'm a very festive person and I love the holidays . I 've sung Christmas songs since I was a little girl . I used to go Christmas caroling . When it came to the album , we had to have a nice balance between standard Christian hymns and fun songs . It was definitely a priority for me to write at least a few new songs , but for the most part people really want to hear the standards at Christmas time , no matter how good a new song is . '' Composition and lyrics ( edit ) ' All I Want for Christmas Is You ' A sample of the song 's chorus and various computerized programming , instruments and background vocals . Combined with Carey 's voice , the sample illustrates the song 's hearkening and inspiration drawn from previous decades as well as what music critics attribute its success to . Problems playing this file ? See media help . `` Carey 's masterpiece is an incredible feat of philosophical subterfuge . Christmas is a time of material and affection - based excess , yet the song is narrowly focused on just one thing : getting to be with a specific person ; you . It rejects the idea of love in general in favor of love in particular , simultaneously defying and defining pop - music conventions . With more economy of expression and undoubtedly catchier lyrics , ' Want ' is a sort of Hegelian dialectic of Christmastime desire , taking the conflicting notions of abundance and specificity and packaging them into an earworm for the generations . '' -- Emma Green , The Atlantic `` All I Want for Christmas Is You '' is an uptempo song , composed with pop , soul , R&B , gospel , dance - pop and rhythmic adult contemporary influences and stylings . By early August , Carey already had two original songs written alongside Afanasieff ; the `` sad and balld - y '' `` Miss You Most ( At Christmas Time ) '' and the `` Gospel - tinged and religious '' `` Jesus Born on This Day '' . The third and final original song the pair planned to write was to be centered and inspired and in the vein of a `` Phil Spector , old rock ' n roll , sixties - sounding Christmas song '' . Critics have noted the song 's 1940s , 1950s , and 1960s influences which , in conjunction with Carey 's voice and its simple melody , heralded its recipe for success . In discussing the song 's chord progression and stylistic approaches , Slate 's Adam Ragusea hailed the song as `` the only Christmas song written in the last half - century worthy of inclusion in the Great American Songbook . '' The A.V. Club 's Annie Zaleski attributes the song 's enduring appeal to its ambiguity in being able to pin it down as belonging to a specific era . The song begins with a `` sparking '' bit of percussion `` that resembles an antique music box or a whimsical snow globe . '' After Carey 's a cappella style vocal introduction , the song introduces other seasonal percussive signifiers including ; celebratory church - like bells , cheerful sleigh bells , and `` an underlying rhythmic beat that sounds like the loping pace of a horse or reindeer . These sounds echo religious and secular musical touchstones , without veering blatantly too much in either direction , and give the song an upbeat , joyous tone . '' In an interview in 1994 , Carey described the song as `` fun '' , and continued : `` It 's very traditional , old - fashioned Christmas . It 's very retro , kind of ' 60s . '' Afanasieff went further in breaking down the song 's musical elements : `` A lush bed of keyboards , reminiscent of a small - scale Wall of Sound , cushions the song 's cheery rhythms , while a soulful vocal chorus adds robust oohs , tension - creating counter-melodies , and festive harmonies . Most notably , however , the song 's jaunty piano chords and melody keep the song merrily bouncing along . '' Critics noted the song a tad reminiscent of the works of Judy Garland and Nat King Cole , while also describing it as hearkening back to `` ' 60s and ' 70s Motown covers of prewar Christmas classics , such as The Jackson 5 's ( and ) Stevie Wonder '' . Slate 's Ragusea conceded that `` All I Want For Christmas Is You '' `` sounds like it could have been written in the ' 40s and locked in a Brill Building safe . '' Lyrically , the song focuses on the yearning desire to be with a loved one for Christmas , regardless of whether they have to forgo the usual commercial aspect of the holiday season such as ornamental lights , trees , snow and presents . The song incorporates various instruments , including piano , drums , violin , oboe , flute , bell chimes , bass effect , and cowbells . The song layers background vocals throughout the chorus and sections of the bridge . According to the sheet music published at Musicnotes.com by Sony / ATV Music Publishing , `` All I Want for Christmas Is You '' is set in common time and in the key of G major . Carey 's vocal range in the song spans from the note of G to the high note of G. Carey wrote the song 's lyrics and melody , while Afanasieff arranged and produced the piece with synthetically created computerized equipment . Slate 's Ragusea counts `` at least 13 distinct chords at work , resulting in a sumptuously chromatic melody . The song also includes what I consider the most Christmassy chord of all -- a minor subdominant , or ' iv , ' chord with an added 6 , under the words ' underneath the Christmas tree , ' among other places . ( You might also analyze it as a half - diminished ' ii ' 7th chord , but either interpretation seems accurate ) . '' According to Roch Parisien from AllMusic , the song contains `` The Beach Boys - style harmonies , jangling bells , and a sleigh - ride pace , injecting one of the few bits of exuberant fun in this otherwise vanilla set . '' In a piece on the song in Vogue , a writer felt the song 's lyrics helped solidify its status over two decades later : `` those lyrics could have been sung by Frank Sinatra -- well , maybe not Frank , but another singer back then . I think that 's what gives it that timeless , classic quality . '' Critical reception ( edit ) `` All I Want for Christmas Is You '' was lauded by music critics . Parisien called the song `` a year - long banger '' , complimenting its instrumentation and melody . Steve Morse , editor of The Boston Globe , wrote that Carey sang with a lot of soul . According to Barry Schwartz from Stylus Magazine , `` to say this song is an instant classic somehow does n't capture its amazingicity ; it 's a modern standard : joyous , exhilarating , loud , with even a hint of longing . '' Schwartz praised the song 's lyrics as well , describing them as `` beautifully phrased , '' and calling Carey 's voice `` gorgeous '' and `` sincere . '' Kyle Anderson from MTV labeled the track `` a majestic anthem full of chimes , sleigh bells , doo - wop flourishes , sweeping strings and one of the most dynamic and clean vocal performances of Carey 's career '' . While reviewing the 2009 remix version , Becky Bain from Idolator called the song a `` timeless classic '' and wrote , `` We love the original song to pieces -- we blast it while decorating our Christmas tree and lighting our Menorah . '' In his review for Carey 's Merry Christmas II You , Thomas Connor from the Chicago Sun - Times called the song `` a simple , well - crafted chestnut and one of the last great additions to the Christmas pop canon '' . Shona Craven of Scotland 's The Herald , said , `` ( it 's ) a song of optimism and joy that maybe , just maybe , hints at the real meaning of Christmas . '' Additionally , she felt the main reason it was so successful is the subject `` you '' in the lyrics , explaining , `` Perhaps what makes the song such a huge hit is the fact that it 's for absolutely everyone . '' Craven opened her review with a bold statement : `` Bing Crosby may well be turning in his grave , but no child of the 1980s will be surprised to see Mariah Carey 's sublime All I Want For Christmas Is You bounding up the charts after being named the nation 's top festive song . '' In a 2006 retrospective look at Carey 's career , Sasha Frere - Jones of The New Yorker said , the `` charming '' song was one of Carey 's biggest accomplishments , calling it `` one of the few worthy modern additions to the holiday canon '' . Dan Hancox , editor of The National , quoted and agreed with Jones ' statement , calling the song `` perfection '' . In 2010 , Rolling Stone ranked `` All I Want for Christmas Is You '' fourth on its Greatest Rock and Roll Christmas Songs list , calling it a `` holiday standard . '' Chart performance ( edit ) Carey performing `` All I Want for Christmas Is You '' at the National Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony near the White House on December 6 , 2013 In the United Kingdom , the song entered the UK Singles Chart at No. 5 during the week of December 10 , 1994 . The following week , the song peaked at No. 2 , staying there for the final three weeks of December ( held out of the coveted `` Christmas No. 1 '' honor by East 17 's `` Stay Another Day '' ) . As of January 27 , 2017 , it had spent seventy - eight weeks on the UK Singles Chart.It is also the only song to peak in the top 5 in the 1990s , 2000s and 2010s , peaking at number 4 in 2007 and number 5 in 2016 . As of December 19 , 2013 , `` All I Want for Christmas Is You '' has sold one million copies in the UK . On December 11 , 2015 , it was certified double platinum by the British Phonographic Industry for shipment of 1.2 million units ( including streams ) and remains Carey 's best - selling single in the UK . In 2010 , `` All I Want for Christmas Is You '' was named the No. 1 holiday song of the decade in the United Kingdom . The song peaked at No. 2 on the Australian Singles Chart and was certified triple - platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association ( ARIA ) , denoting shipments of over 210,000 units . In Denmark , it peaked at No. 4 , staying in the chart for sixteen weeks and being certified gold by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry ( IFPI ) . `` All I Want for Christmas Is You '' became Carey 's best - selling single in Japan . It was used as the theme song to the popular drama 29 - sai no Christmas ( 29 才のクリスマス , lit . `` Christmas in 29 Years , 29th Christmas '' ) , and was titled Koibito - tachi no Christmas ( 恋人たちのクリスマス , lit . `` Lovers ' Christmas '' ) . It sold in excess of 1.1 million units in Japan . Due to strong sales and airplay , the song re-charted in Japan in 2010 , peaking at No. 6 on the Japan Hot 100 . The single has been certified the Million award by the Recording Industry Association of Japan ( RIAJ ) on two different formats ( compact disc and ringtone ) , in 1994 and 2008 , respectively . In the United States , in the first week of January 1995 , `` All I Want for Christmas Is You '' peaked at number six on the Billboard Hot Adult Contemporary and at No. 12 on the Hot 100 Airplay chart . The song placed on these two charts again in December 1995 and in December 1996 . The song was ineligible for inclusion on the Billboard Hot 100 during its original release , because it was not released commercially as a single . This rule lapsed in 1998 , however , allowing the song to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 ( peaking at No. 83 in January 2000 ) . The song topped the Billboard Hot Digital Songs chart in December 2005 , but it was unable to attain a new peak on the Billboard Hot 100 chart because it was considered a recurrent single and was thus ineligible for chart re-entry . Every December from 2005 to 2008 , the song topped the Billboard Hot 100 Re-currents chart . In 2012 , after the recurrent rule was revised to allow all songs in the top 50 onto the Billboard Hot 100 chart , the single re-entered the chart at No. 29 and eventually attained a new peak of No. 21 on the week ending January 5 , 2013 , however dropping out the following week . In December 2013 , the song re-entered the Billboard Hot 100 at number 26 . It has become the best - selling holiday ringtone , and it is the first holiday ringtone to be certified double - platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America ( RIAA ) . Additionally , of songs recorded before the year 2000 , it is the nineteenth best - selling digital single and the best - selling digital single by a woman , and is also the overall best - selling holiday digital single . In December 2015 , the song peaked at 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 , making it its highest peak since its original release . As of November 2016 , Nielsen SoundScan estimated total sales of the digital track at 3,200,000 downloads . Remixes and re-releases ( edit ) When the song was first released as a single in 1994 , no remixes were commissioned except for the instrumental version ; however , this version was not released on the single that year . Carey re-released the song commercially in Japan in 2000 , with a new remix known as the So So Def remix . The remix contains new vocals and is played over a harder , more urban beat that contains a sample of Afrika Bambaataa & the Soulsonic Force 's `` Planet Rock ; '' it features guest vocals by Jermaine Dupri and Bow Wow . The remix appears on Carey 's compilation album Greatest Hits ( 2001 ) as a bonus track . In 2009 , a remix produced by Carey and Low Sunday , called `` Mariah 's New Dance Mix '' , was released . The mix laid the original 1994 vocals over new electronic instrumentation . The remix garnered a positive response . MTV 's Kyle Anderson wrote that `` it 's difficult to improve perfection , '' but that the remix `` does dress up the song in a disco thump that should make your office Christmas party 28 percent funkier than it was last year . '' Idolator 's Becky Bain praised the song 's catchiness . In 2010 , Carey re-recorded the song for her thirteenth studio and second holiday album , Merry Christmas II You . Titled `` All I Want for Christmas Is You ( Extra Festive ) '' , the new version featured re-recorded vocals , softer bell ringing and stronger drumming , and an orchestral introduction that replaced the slow vocal introduction . Steven J. Horowitz from Rap - Up wrote that the new version `` sound ( ed ) just as enjoyable as it did in 1994 . '' While the song was praised , it drew criticism for being too similar to the original . Thomas Connor from the Chicago Sun - Times wrote that the new version `` just seems to add a few brassy backup singers to the exact same arrangement . '' Caryn Ganz from Rolling Stone agreed , writing that it was `` hard to figure out what 's ' extra festive ' '' about the new version . Dan Hancox , editor of The National , also felt the new version was unnecessary . In 2011 , Justin Bieber also recorded a version of the song as a duet with Carey on his holiday album , Under the Mistletoe . Live performances ( edit ) Carey performing the 2010 version of the song live at the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando , Florida on December 3 , 2010 Carey has performed the song during concerts as well as live televised performances .

Carey also included the track as the encore to her sold out , first annual Christmas concert series at the Beacon Theater in New York City . The show was entitled All I Want For Christmas Is You , A Night of Joy & Festivity . During The Late Late Show with James Corden on December 15 , 2016 , Mariah Carey sung this song on the popular feature Carpool Karaoke . Other singers Adele , Lady Gaga , Demi Lovato , Nick Jonas , Elton John , Selena Gomez , Gwen Stefani , Chris Martin , and the Red Hot Chili Peppers were featured in video . It has quickly gone viral , achieving over 2 million views in less than 24 hours , and 25 million views in less than three weeks . Music videos ( edit ) There are three music videos for `` All I Want for Christmas Is You '' . The first , primary video was shot in the style of a home movie using Super-8mm film ; it was directed and filmed by Carey during the Christmas season of 1993 . The video begins with Carey placing holiday ornaments on a Christmas tree and frolicking through the snowy mountainside . Outdoor scenes were shot at the Fairy Tale Forest in New Jersey , where Carey 's then - husband Tommy Mottola made a cameo appearance as Santa Claus . It continues with scenes of Carey getting ready for her album cover photo shoot and spending time with her dog Jack . It concludes with Santa Claus leaving Carey with a bag of presents and waving goodbye . It has more than 291 million views on YouTube as of June 16 , 2017 . In the song 's alternate video , inspired by The Ronettes , Carey dances in a 1960s - influenced studio surrounded by go -- go dancers . For a 1960s look , the video was filmed in black and white , with Carey in white boots and teased up hair . This video was also directed by Carey . There are two edits to this version of the video . Another video was created for the So So Def remix , but it does not feature Carey or the hip - hop musicians that perform in the song . Instead , the video is animated and based on a scene in the video from Carey 's `` Heartbreaker '' ( 1999 ) . It features cartoon cameo appearances by Carey , Jermaine Dupri , Bow Wow , Luis Miguel ( Carey 's boyfriend at the time ) , Carey 's dog Jack , and Santa Claus . Kris Kringle is credited with directing the music video . Since 2009 , the song has been included in a music video accompanying ESPN 's ( and their sister station , ABC ) Christmas Day coverage of the NBA . The music video for the duet featuring Bieber was filmed in Macy 's department store in New York City , and features Bieber shopping with his friends whilst Carey is seen singing in the background . Book adaptation ( edit ) Carey released a children 's book based on `` All I Want for Christmas Is You '' on November 10 , 2015 .

For the episode of the TV series House , see House Divided . Lincoln in 1858 The House Divided Speech was an address given by Abraham Lincoln , later President of the United States , on June 16 , 1858 at what was then the Illinois State Capitol in Springfield , after he had accepted the Illinois Republican Party 's nomination as that state 's US senator . The speech became the launching point for his unsuccessful campaign for the seat , held by Stephen A. Douglas ; the campaign would climax with the Lincoln - Douglas debates of 1858 . Lincoln 's remarks in Springfield created an image of the danger of slavery - based disunion , and it rallied Republicans across the North . Along with the Gettysburg Address and his second inaugural address , the speech became one of the best - known speeches of his career . The best - known passage of the speech is this : A house divided against itself can not stand . I believe this government can not endure , permanently , half slave and half free . I do not expect the Union to be dissolved -- I do not expect the house to fall -- but I do expect it will cease to be divided . It will become all one thing or all the other . Either the opponents of slavery will arrest the further spread of it , and place it where the public mind shall rest in the belief that it is in the course of ultimate extinction ; or its advocates will push it forward , till it shall become lawful in all the States , old as well as new -- North as well as South . Lincoln 's goals were to differentiate himself from Douglas the tiger - the incumbent - and to voice a prophecy publicly . Douglas had long advocated popular sovereignty under which the settlers in each new territory would decide their own status as a slave or free state ; he had repeatedly asserted that the proper application of popular sovereignty would continue slavery - induced conflict and would allow northern and southern states to resume their peaceful coexistence . Lincoln , however , responded that the Dred Scott decision had closed the door on Douglas 's preferred option , leaving the Union with only two remaining outcomes : the country would inevitably become either all slave or all free . Now that the North and the South had come to hold distinct opinions in the question of slavery , and now the issue had come to permeate every other political question , the Union would soon no longer be able to function .

'' I believe this government can endure , permanently half slave and half free . I do not expect the Union to be dissolved -- I do expect the house to fall -- but I do expect it will cease to be divided . It will become all one thing , or all the other . Either the opponents of slavery , will arrest the further spread of it , and place it where the public mind shall rest in the belief that it is in course of ultimate extinction ; or its advocates will push it forward , till it shall become alike lawful in all the states , old as well as new -- North as well as South . Have we no tendency to the latter condition ? Let any one who doubts , carefully contemplate that now almost complete legal combination -- piece of machinery so to speak -- compounded of the Nebraska doctrine , and the Dred Scott decision . The Kansas - Nebraska Act opened all the national territory to slavery ( ... ) . This ( ... ) had been provided for ( ... ) in the notable argument of `` squatter sovereignty , '' otherwise called `` sacred right of self government , '' which latter phrase , though expressive of the only rightful basis of any government , was so perverted in this attempted use of it as to amount to just this : That if any one man , choose to enslave another , no third man shall be allowed to object . While the Nebraska Bill was passing through Congress , a law case , involving the question of a negro 's freedom ... was passing through the U.S. Circuit Court for the District of Missouri ; and both Nebraska Bill and lawsuit were brought to a decision in the same month of May , 1854 . The Negro 's name was `` Dred Scott '' ( ... ) . ( The points decided by the `` Dred Scott '' decision include ) that whether the holding a negro in actual slavery in a free state , makes him free , as against the holder , the United States courts will not decide , but will leave to be decided by the courts of any slave state the negro may be forced into by the master . This point is made , not to be pressed immediately ( ... ) ( that ) the logical conclusion that what Dred Scott 's master might lawfully do with Dred Scott , in the free state Illinois , every other master may lawfully do with any other one , or one thousand slaves , in Illinois , or in any other free state . While the opinion of ( ... ) Chief Justice Taney , in the Dred Scott case ( ... ) expressly declare ( s ) that the Constitution of the United States neither permits congress nor a territorial legislature to exclude slavery from any United States territory , ( ... ) ( Taney ) omit ( s ) to declare whether or not the same constitution permits a state , or the people of a state , to exclude it . Possibly , this was a mere omission ; but who can be quite sure ( ... ) . Illinois House of Representatives chamber , the site of the speech . The nearest approach to the point of declaring the power of a state over slavery , is made by Judge Nelson . He approaches it more than once , using the precise idea , and almost the language too , of the Nebraska Act . On one occasion his exact language is , `` except in cases where the power is restrained by the Constitution of the United States , the law of the State is supreme over the subject of slavery within its jurisdiction . '' In what cases the power of the states is so restrained by the U.S. Constitution , is left an open question , precisely as the same question , as to the restraint on the power of the territories was left open in the Nebraska Act . Put that and that together , and we have another nice little niche , which we may , ere long , see filled with another Supreme Court decision , declaring that the Constitution of the United States does not permit a state to exclude slavery from its limits . And this may especially be expected if the doctrine of `` care not whether slavery be voted down or voted up '' shall gain upon the public mind sufficiently to give promise that such a decision can be maintained when made . Such a decision is all that slavery now lacks of being alike lawful in all the States . Welcome , or unwelcome , such decision is probably coming , and will soon be upon us , unless the power of the present political dynasty shall be met and overthrown . We shall lie down pleasantly dreaming that the people of Missouri are on the verge of making their State free , and we shall awake to the reality instead that the Supreme Court has made Illinois a slave Origins of `` house divided '' ( edit ) In the Gospel of Mark 3 : 25 , Jesus states , `` And if a house be divided against itself , that house can not stand . '' That is in response to the scribes ' claim that `` by the prince of the devils casteth he out devils . '' Also , in the Gospel of Matthew 12 : 25 , KJV : 25 And Jesus knew their thoughts , and said unto him , Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation ; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand : Saint Augustine , in his Confessions ( Book 8 , Chapter 8 ) describes his conversion experience as being `` a house divided against itself . '' Thomas Hobbes , in his 1651 Leviathan ( Chapter 18 ) , states that `` a kingdom divided in itself can not stand . '' In Thomas Paine 's 1776 Common Sense , he describes the composition of monarchy `` hath all the distinctions of a house divided against itself ... '' During the War of 1812 a line appeared in a letter from Abigail Adams to Mercy Otis Warren : `` ... A house divided upon itself - and upon that foundation do our enemies build their hopes of subduing us . '' The `` house divided '' phrase had been used by Lincoln himself in another context in 1843 . Famously , eight years before Lincoln 's speech , during the Senate debate on the Compromise of 1850 , Sam Houston had proclaimed : `` A nation divided against itself can not stand .

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 Though 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 is celebrated annually in honor of the battle in Massachusetts , 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 .

It has been used uncritically by many historians of the battle and is perpetuated by the National Park Service . '' The Interim Report of the Boston National Historic Sites Commission , submitted to Congress in 1958 in support of legislation that established the Minute Man National Historical Park , asserted that : `` Fittingly , this curving section of the road was soon to be named ' The Bloody Angle . ' '' ( p. 47 ; emphasis added ) . 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 .

According to one British officer , ammunition had been wasted earlier in the day out of `` too great eagerness of the soldiers in the first action of a war .

The Eastern Conference champion Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the Western Conference champion Golden State Warriors 4 -- 3 in a rematch of the 2015 NBA Finals . It was the 14th rematch of the previous NBA Finals in history , and the first Finals since 2008 in which the number one seed in each conference met . It was the second straight rematch in back - to - back years , as the Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs played each other in 2013 and 2014 . Golden State , which earned home - court advantage with setting the NBA regular season wins record ( 73 -- 9 ) , jumped to a 2 -- 0 lead in the series while recording the largest combined margin of victory ( 48 ) through two games in NBA Finals history . Cleveland returned home and responded with a 120 -- 90 win in Game 3 , but the Warriors won Game 4 to take a 3 -- 1 series lead . The Cavaliers won the next three games to become the first team in Finals history to successfully overcome a 3 -- 1 deficit . It also marked the first time since 1978 that Game 7 was won by the road team . For the first time since 2004 , a new scheduling format was instituted for the Finals . In previous years , the Finals were played in a Thursday -- Sunday -- Tuesday scheme . However , the league changed its scheduling to ensure an extra day off for both teams , which have to travel from one city to another during the series . This , along with the designated travel day , took place after Games 2 , 4 , 5 , and 6 . The win by the Cavaliers was the first major professional sports championship won by a team based in Cleveland since 1964 , and the first - ever championship won by the Cavaliers franchise . NBA Finals MVP winner LeBron James propelled the Cavaliers to the historic comeback . James had a historically great Finals performance , becoming the first player in NBA history to lead all players in a playoff series in points , rebounds , assists , steals and blocks . James ' heroics coupled with the suspense of Cleveland 's comeback have led many sports critics to deem the 2016 NBA Finals as one of the most exciting in recent history .

This would also be the sixth consecutive NBA Finals appearance for LeBron James , the most for any player not part of the 1960s Boston Celtics , and the fifth for James Jones ( who technically qualified for the 2011 NBA Finals along with James , but did not play ) . Despite holding the best record in the Eastern Conference at 30 -- 11 midway through the season on January 22 , 2016 , the Cavaliers fired head coach David Blatt . Associate head coach Tyronn Lue was then promoted to replace Blatt . General Manager David Griffin cited `` a lack of fit with our personnel and our vision '' as the reason for Blatt 's firing . Cleveland finished the regular season with a 57 -- 25 record , capturing the Central Division title and the top playoff seed in the Eastern Conference . They then advanced to the Finals after sweeping both the Detroit Pistons in the first round and the Atlanta Hawks in the second round , and defeating the Toronto Raptors in the Eastern Conference Finals in six games . The Cavaliers were the first team in history to go to two consecutive NBA Finals with rookie head coaches . Golden State Warriors ( edit ) Main article : 2015 -- 16 Golden State Warriors season This was the defending NBA Champions Golden State Warriors ' second consecutive trip to the NBA Finals and eighth overall . The Warriors broke the record set by the 1995 -- 96 Chicago Bulls by finishing the regular season with a 73 -- 9 record . In addition , the Warriors broke numerous other NBA records , including most road wins ( 34 ) , best start to a season ( 24 -- 0 ) and longest regular - season home win streak ( 54 dating back to the 2014 -- 15 season ) . They also became the first team to make over 1,000 three - pointers in the regular - season with 1,077 , eclipsing the previous record of 933 set by the 2014 -- 15 Houston Rockets . The Warriors were led by Stephen Curry , who was named the NBA Most Valuable Player ( MVP ) for the second straight season . The Splash Brothers twosome of Curry and Klay Thompson were the highest scoring duo in the league , combining to average 52.2 points per game . Head coach Steve Kerr missed the first 43 regular season games because of a back injury . Assistant coach Luke Walton served as interim head coach during Kerr 's absence and he led the Warriors to a 39 -- 4 start . In the playoffs , the Warriors defeated the Houston Rockets in the first round and the Portland Trail Blazers in the conference semifinals in five games each . In Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals , the Warriors defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder , 96 -- 88 , becoming only the 10th team in NBA history to overcome a 3 -- 1 series deficit , and advancing to a second straight NBA Finals for the first time since 1947 and 1948 .

The Cavaliers scored the game 's first eight points en route to outscoring the Warriors 31 -- 11 after one quarter . Golden State rallied to trim Cleveland 's lead as low as eight points on a couple of occasions before the Cavs settled for a 59 -- 43 halftime lead .

James was the first player to have consecutive 40 - point games in the finals since , coincidentally , Shaquille O'Neal in the 2000 Finals . Following the game , Curry and Warriors head coach Steve Kerr were fined $25,000 each for their actions and public officiating criticism .

The Cavaliers defeated the Warriors 93 -- 89 in Game 7 to win the series 4 -- 3 . Game 7 was close , with 20 lead changes and 11 ties . This was the only game in the series to have a final margin of fewer than 10 points . At halftime , the Warriors were ahead 49 -- 42 . In the second half , the Cavaliers outscored the Warriors 51 -- 40 as the Warriors failed to score a basket during the last 4 : 39 of the game . In the closing minutes of the 4th quarter , LeBron James delivered what became known as `` The Block '' on a layup attempt by Andre Iguodala with the score tied at 89 and 1 : 50 remaining in the game . Kyrie Irving made a go - ahead 3 - point field goal over Stephen Curry to give Cleveland a 92 -- 89 lead with 0 : 53 remaining in the game . Before Kyrie Irving 's 3 - point field goal , both teams were tied at 699 points scored apiece in this series . Immediately after Irving 's 3 - pointer , Golden State brought the ball up - court , opting not to call a timeout , and although Golden State got a preferred switch and matchup of Curry on Kevin Love , Love made arguably `` the biggest defensive stop of the entire NBA season '' , and forced Curry into a contested 3 - pointer , which he missed . After LeBron James hurt his right wrist on a dunk attempt in which he was fouled , he nearly clinched the title for the Cavaliers by making one of two free throws with 10.6 seconds left in the game . The Cavaliers fouled Draymond Green with 6.5 seconds remaining . Stephen Curry received the ensuing inbounds pass , pump faked and shot a three pointer over Cavaliers guard Iman Shumpert . The attempt missed , and was rebounded by Marreese Speights of the Warriors who attempted a three pointer as time expired and missed . Love immediately hugged the Finals MVP LeBron James . Draymond Green led all scorers with 32 points , including 6 of 8 from three - point range to go along with 15 rebounds and 9 assists . Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson added 17 and 14 points , respectively . LeBron James led all Cavaliers with 27 points and became only the 3rd player ever in NBA history to record a triple double in an NBA Finals Game 7 by adding 11 assists and 11 rebounds . Kyrie Irving added 26 points for Cleveland . The Cavaliers became the first team in NBA history to come back from a 3 -- 1 series deficit to win the NBA Finals . They became the first NBA Champion to clinch all their playoff series on the road since the 1999 San Antonio Spurs , as well as the first road team to win a Finals Game 7 since the 1978 Washington Bullets . The Cavaliers won their first championship in franchise history , ending a nearly 52 - year pro sports championship drought for the city of Cleveland . LeBron James was named the unanimous Finals MVP , becoming only the fifth player in NBA history to earn the award three times or more . He also was the overall leader in points , rebounds , assists , steals , and blocks during the series , a feat that had never been accomplished in an NBA playoff series . Tyronn Lue became the 14th coach to win an NBA championship as a head coach and player . After 13 years , James had finally brought a championship to the city of Cleveland . This loss led the Warriors to pursue Kevin Durant when he became a free agent that summer signing him on July 4 , 2016 . On July 13 , Game 7 of the 2016 NBA Finals received the 2016 ESPY award for Best Game .

The lyrics also include a change , with the words `` roll 500 miles '' replacing `` walk 500 miles '' , because the characters Brian Potter and Andy Pipkin are both in wheelchairs . `` ( I 'm Gonna Be ) 500 Miles '' was released as a charity single for Comic Relief immediately following its performance on the Comic Relief 2007 : The Big One television show on BBC1 on 16 March 2007 .

The song is often played in the warm up before the Scotland football team matches when playing at home at Hampden Park in Glasgow , and again when the team scores . The same is true for the Scottish Rugby team at Murrayfield Stadium although since 2013 a mashup version of the song mixed with David Guetta 's `` Titanium '' and Midnight Oil 's `` Beds Are Burning '' has been used as well . The song is also often played at Easter Road before Scottish Premiership side Hibernian 's home matches . Scottish darts player Robert Thornton uses the song as his walk - on song . As part of what has become a now legendary performance , Phish covered this song at their Madison Square Garden concert in the middle of a fantastic narration that Trey Anastasio told in the middle of the song Harpua on 30 Dec 1997 . Tom Marshall sang the vocals . In 2007 , Alvin and the Chipmunks covered the song , with minor lyric changes , for their video game Alvin and the Chipmunks . At the end of the fourth series of the new Doctor Who , a video of the cast and crew of the show ( as well as The Proclaimers themselves ) singing and dancing along to the song was released , as a farewell to David Tennant , Russell T Davies , and other key players in the show 's development ; hailing the shift into the Steven Moffat era of the show . The song was also very popular in Spain in the late 1990s thanks to TV advertisements . It was a reference song for the ads of Retevisión , one of the first private telecommunications companies in Spain .

The coil and large yellow capacitor below E are additional input filtering components that are mounted directly on the power input connector and are not part of the main circuit board . An adjustable switched - mode power supply for laboratory use A switched - mode power supply ( switching - mode power supply , switch - mode power supply , switched power supply , SMPS , or switcher ) is an electronic power supply that incorporates a switching regulator to convert electrical power efficiently . Like other power supplies , an SMPS transfers power from a DC or AC source ( often mains power ) to DC loads , such as a personal computer , while converting voltage and current characteristics . Unlike a linear power supply , the pass transistor of a switching - mode supply continually switches between low - dissipation , full - on and full - off states , and spends very little time in the high dissipation transitions , which minimizes wasted energy . Ideally , a switched - mode power supply dissipates no power . Voltage regulation is achieved by varying the ratio of on - to - off time . In contrast , a linear power supply regulates the output voltage by continually dissipating power in the pass transistor . This higher power conversion efficiency is an important advantage of a switched - mode power supply . Switched - mode power supplies may also be substantially smaller and lighter than a linear supply due to the smaller transformer size and weight . Switching regulators are used as replacements for linear regulators when higher efficiency , smaller size or lighter weight are required . They are , however , more complicated ; their switching currents can cause electrical noise problems if not carefully suppressed , and simple designs may have a poor power factor .

Kettering and his company Dayton Engineering Laboratories Company ( Delco ) goes into production for Cadillac . The Kettering ignition system is a mechanically - switched version of a flyback boost converter ; the transformer is the ignition coil . Variations of this ignition system were used in all non-diesel internal combustion engines until the 1960s when it began to be replaced first by solid - state electronically - switched versions , then capacitive discharge ignition systems . 1926 On 23 June , British inventor Philip Ray Coursey applies for a patent in his country and United States , for his `` Electrical Condenser '' . The patent mentions high frequency welding and furnaces , among other uses . ca 1932 Electromechanical relays are used to stabilize the voltage output of generators . See Voltage regulator # Electromechanical regulators . ca 1936 Car radios used electromechanical vibrators to transform the 6 V battery supply to a suitable B+ voltage for the vacuum tubes . 1959 Transistor oscillation and rectifying converter power supply system U.S. Patent 3,040,271 is filed by Joseph E. Murphy and Francis J. Starzec , from General Motors Company ca 1967 Bob Widlar of Fairchild Semiconductor designs the μA723 IC voltage regulator . One of its applications is as a switched mode regulator . 1970 Tektronix starts using High - Efficiency Power Supply in its 7000 - series oscilloscopes produced from about 1970 to 1995 . 1972 HP - 35 , Hewlett - Packard 's first pocket calculator , is introduced with transistor switching power supply for light - emitting diodes , clocks , timing , ROM , and registers . 1973 Xerox uses switching power supplies in the Alto minicomputer 1977 Apple II is designed with a switching mode power supply . `` Rod Holt was brought in as product engineer and there were several flaws in Apple II that were never publicized . One thing Holt has to his credit is that he created the switching power supply that allowed us to do a very lightweight computer '' . 1980 The HP8662A 10 kHz -- 1.28 GHz synthesized signal generator went with a switched mode power supply . Explanation ( edit ) A linear regulator provides the desired output voltage by dissipating excess power in ohmic losses ( e.g. , in a resistor or in the collector -- emitter region of a pass transistor in its active mode ) . A linear regulator regulates either output voltage or current by dissipating the excess electric power in the form of heat , and hence its maximum power efficiency is voltage - out / voltage - in since the volt difference is wasted . In contrast , a switched - mode power supply changes output voltage and current by switching ideally lossless storage elements , such as inductors and capacitors , between different electrical configurations . Ideal switching elements ( approximated by transistors operated outside of their active mode ) have no resistance when `` on '' and carry no current when `` off '' , and so converters with ideal components would operate with 100 % efficiency ( i.e. , all input power is delivered to the load ; no power is wasted as dissipated heat ) . The basic schematic of a boost converter . For example , if a DC source , an inductor , a switch , and the corresponding electrical ground are placed in series and the switch is driven by a square wave , the peak - to - peak voltage of the waveform measured across the switch can exceed the input voltage from the DC source . This is because the inductor responds to changes in current by inducing its own voltage to counter the change in current , and this voltage adds to the source voltage while the switch is open . If a diode - and - capacitor combination is placed in parallel to the switch , the peak voltage can be stored in the capacitor , and the capacitor can be used as a DC source with an output voltage greater than the DC voltage driving the circuit . This boost converter acts like a step - up transformer for DC signals . A buck -- boost converter works in a similar manner , but yields an output voltage which is opposite in polarity to the input voltage . Other buck circuits exist to boost the average output current with a reduction of voltage . In a SMPS , the output current flow depends on the input power signal , the storage elements and circuit topologies used , and also on the pattern used ( e.g. , pulse - width modulation with an adjustable duty cycle ) to drive the switching elements . The spectral density of these switching waveforms has energy concentrated at relatively high frequencies . As such , switching transients and ripple introduced onto the output waveforms can be filtered with a small LC filter . Advantages and disadvantages ( edit ) The main advantage of the switching power supply is greater efficiency than linear regulators because the switching transistor dissipates little power when acting as a switch . Other advantages include smaller size and lighter weight from the elimination of heavy line - frequency transformers , and comparable heat generation . Standby power loss is often much less than transformers . Disadvantages include greater complexity , the generation of high - amplitude , high - frequency energy that the low - pass filter must block to avoid electromagnetic interference ( EMI ) , a ripple voltage at the switching frequency and the harmonic frequencies thereof . Very low cost SMPSs may couple electrical switching noise back onto the mains power line , causing interference with A / V equipment connected to the same phase . Non-power - factor - corrected SMPSs also cause harmonic distortion . SMPS and linear power supply comparison ( edit ) There are two main types of regulated power supplies available : SMPS and linear . The following table compares linear regulated and unregulated AC - to - DC supplies with switching regulators in general : Comparison of a linear power supply and a switched - mode power supply Linear power supply Switching power supply Notes Size and weight Heatsinks for high power linear regulators add size and weight . Transformers , if used , are large due to low operating frequency ( mains power frequency is at 50 or 60 Hz ) ; otherwise can be compact due to low component count . Smaller transformer ( if used ; else inductor ) due to higher operating frequency ( typically 50 kHz -- 1 MHz ) . Size and weight of adequate RF shielding may be significant . A transformer 's power handling capacity of given size and weight increases with frequency provided that hysteresis losses can be kept down . Therefore , higher operating frequency means either a higher capacity or smaller transformer . Output voltage With transformer used , any voltages available ; if transformerless , limited to what can be achieved with a voltage doubler . If unregulated , voltage varies significantly with load . Any voltages available , limited only by transistor breakdown voltages in many circuits . Voltage varies little with load . A SMPS can usually cope with wider variation of input before the output voltage changes . Efficiency , heat , and power dissipation If regulated : efficiency largely depends on voltage difference between input and output ; output voltage is regulated by dissipating excess power as heat resulting in a typical efficiency of 30 -- 40 % . If unregulated , transformer iron and copper losses may be the only significant sources of inefficiency . Output is regulated using duty cycle control ; the transistors are switched fully on or fully off , so very little resistive losses between input and the load . The only heat generated is in the non-ideal aspects of the components and quiescent current in the control circuitry . Switching losses in the transistors ( especially in the short part of each cycle when the device is partially on ) , on - resistance of the switching transistors , equivalent series resistance in the inductor and capacitors , and core losses in the inductor , and rectifier voltage drop contribute to a typical efficiency of 60 -- 70 % . However , by optimizing SMPS design ( such as choosing the optimal switching frequency , avoiding saturation of inductors , and active rectification ) , the amount of power loss and heat can be minimized ; a good design can have an efficiency of 95 % . Complexity Unregulated may be simply a diode and capacitor ; regulated has a voltage - regulating circuit and a noise - filtering capacitor ; usually a simpler circuit ( and simpler feedback loop stability criteria ) than switched - mode circuits . Consists of a controller IC , one or several power transistors and diodes as well as a power transformer , inductors , and filter capacitors . Some design complexities present ( reducing noise / interference ; extra limitations on maximum ratings of transistors at high switching speeds ) not found in linear regulator circuits . In switched - mode mains ( AC - to - DC ) supplies , multiple voltages can be generated by one transformer core , but that can introduce design / use complications : for example it may place minimum output current restrictions on one output . For this SMPSs have to use duty cycle control . One of the outputs has to be chosen to feed the voltage regulation feedback loop ( usually 3.3 V or 5 V loads are more fussy about their supply voltages than the 12 V loads , so this drives the decision as to which feeds the feedback loop . The other outputs usually track the regulated one pretty well ) . Both need a careful selection of their transformers . Due to the high operating frequencies in SMPSs , the stray inductance and capacitance of the printed circuit board traces become important . Radio frequency interference Mild high - frequency interference may be generated by AC rectifier diodes under heavy current loading , while most other supply types produce no high - frequency interference . Some mains hum induction into unshielded cables , problematical for low - signal audio . EMI / RFI produced due to the current being switched on and off sharply . Therefore , EMI filters and RF shielding are needed to reduce the disruptive interference . Long wires between the components may reduce the high frequency filter efficiency provided by the capacitors at the inlet and outlet . Stable switching frequency may be important . Electronic noise at the output terminals Unregulated PSUs may have a little AC ripple superimposed upon the DC component at twice mains frequency ( 100 -- 120 Hz ) . It can cause audible mains hum in audio equipment , brightness ripples or banded distortions in analog security cameras . Noisier due to the switching frequency of the SMPS . An unfiltered output may cause glitches in digital circuits or noise in audio circuits . This can be suppressed with capacitors and other filtering circuitry in the output stage . With a switched mode PSU the switching frequency can be chosen to keep the noise out of the circuits working frequency band ( e.g. , for audio systems above the range of human hearing ) Electronic noise at the input terminals Causes harmonic distortion to the input AC , but relatively little or no high frequency noise . Very low cost SMPS may couple electrical switching noise back onto the mains power line , causing interference with A / V equipment connected to the same phase . Non power - factor - corrected SMPSs also cause harmonic distortion . This can be prevented if a ( properly earthed ) EMI / RFI filter is connected between the input terminals and the bridge rectifier . Acoustic noise Faint , usually inaudible mains hum , usually due to vibration of windings in the transformer or magnetostriction . Usually inaudible to most humans , unless they have a fan or are unloaded / malfunctioning , or use a switching frequency within the audio range , or the laminations of the coil vibrate at a subharmonic of the operating frequency . The operating frequency of an unloaded SMPS is sometimes in the audible human range , and may sound subjectively quite loud for people whose hearing is very sensitive to the relevant frequency range . Power factor Low for a regulated supply because current is drawn from the mains at the peaks of the voltage sinusoid , unless a choke - input or resistor - input circuit follows the rectifier ( now rare ) . Ranging from very low to medium since a simple SMPS without PFC draws current spikes at the peaks of the AC sinusoid . Active / passive power factor correction in the SMPS can offset this problem and are even required by some electric regulation authorities , particularly in the EU . The internal resistance of low - power transformers in linear power supplies usually limits the peak current each cycle and thus gives a better power factor than many switched - mode power supplies that directly rectify the mains with little series resistance . Inrush current Large current when mains - powered linear power supply equipment is switched on until magnetic flux of transformer stabilises and capacitors charge completely , unless a slow - start circuit is used . Extremely large peak `` in - rush '' surge current limited only by the impedance of the input supply and any series resistance to the filter capacitors . Empty filter capacitors initially draw large amounts of current as they charge up , with larger capacitors drawing larger amounts of peak current . Being many times above the normal operating current , this greatly stresses components subject to the surge , complicates fuse selection to avoid nuisance blowing and may cause problems with equipment employing overcurrent protection such as uninterruptible power supplies . Mitigated by use of a suitable soft - start circuit or series resistor . Risk of electric shock Supplies with transformers isolate the incoming power supply from the powered device and so allow metalwork of the enclosure to be grounded safely . Dangerous if primary / secondary insulation breaks down , unlikely with reasonable design . Transformerless mains - operated supply dangerous . In both linear and switch - mode the mains , and possibly the output voltages , are hazardous and must be well - isolated . Common rail of equipment ( including casing ) is energized to half the mains voltage , but at high impedance , unless equipment is earthed / grounded or does n't contain EMI / RFI filtering at the input terminals . Due to regulations concerning EMI / RFI radiation , many SMPS contain EMI / RFI filtering at the input stage consisting of capacitors and inductors before the bridge rectifier . Two capacitors are connected in series with the Live and Neutral rails with the Earth connection in between the two capacitors . This forms a capacitive divider that energizes the common rail at half mains voltage . Its high impedance current source can provide a tingling or a ' bite ' to the operator or can be exploited to light an Earth Fault LED . However , this current may cause nuisance tripping on the most sensitive residual - current devices . Risk of equipment damage Very low , unless a short occurs between the primary and secondary windings or the regulator fails by shorting internally . Can fail so as to make output voltage very high . Stress on capacitors may cause them to explode . Can in some cases destroy input stages in amplifiers if floating voltage exceeds transistor base - emitter breakdown voltage , causing the transistor 's gain to drop and noise levels to increase . Mitigated by good failsafe design . Failure of a component in the SMPS itself can cause further damage to other PSU components ; can be difficult to troubleshoot . The floating voltage is caused by capacitors bridging the primary and secondary sides of the power supply . Connection to earthed equipment will cause a momentary ( and potentially destructive ) spike in current at the connector as the voltage at the secondary side of the capacitor equalizes to earth potential . Theory of operation ( edit ) Block diagram of a mains operated AC / DC SMPS with output voltage regulation Input rectifier stage ( edit ) AC , half - wave and full - wave rectified signals . If the SMPS has an AC input , then the first stage is to convert the input to DC . This is called rectification . A SMPS with a DC input does not require this stage . In some power supplies ( mostly computer ATX power supplies ) , the rectifier circuit can be configured as a voltage doubler by the addition of a switch operated either manually or automatically . This feature permits operation from power sources that are normally at 115 V or at 230 V . The rectifier produces an unregulated DC voltage which is then sent to a large filter capacitor . The current drawn from the mains supply by this rectifier circuit occurs in short pulses around the AC voltage peaks . These pulses have significant high frequency energy which reduces the power factor . To correct for this , many newer SMPS will use a special PFC circuit to make the input current follow the sinusoidal shape of the AC input voltage , correcting the power factor . Power supplies that use active PFC usually are auto - ranging , supporting input voltages from ~ 100 VAC -- 250 VAC , with no input voltage selector switch . An SMPS designed for AC input can usually be run from a DC supply , because the DC would pass through the rectifier unchanged . If the power supply is designed for 115 VAC and has no voltage selector switch , the required DC voltage would be 163 VDC ( 115 × √ 2 ) . This type of use may be harmful to the rectifier stage , however , as it will only use half of diodes in the rectifier for the full load . This could possibly result in overheating of these components , causing them to fail prematurely . On the other hand , if the power supply has a voltage selector switch , based on the Delon circuit , for 115 / 230V ( computer ATX power supplies typically are in this category ) , the selector switch would have to be put in the 230 V position , and the required voltage would be 325 VDC ( 230 × √ 2 ) . The diodes in this type of power supply will handle the DC current just fine because they are rated to handle double the nominal input current when operated in the 115 V mode , due to the operation of the voltage doubler . This is because the doubler , when in operation , uses only half of the bridge rectifier and runs twice as much current through it . It is uncertain how an Auto - ranging / Active - PFC type power supply would react to being powered by DC . Inverter stage ( edit ) This section refers to the block marked chopper in the diagram . The inverter stage converts DC , whether directly from the input or from the rectifier stage described above , to AC by running it through a power oscillator , whose output transformer is very small with few windings at a frequency of tens or hundreds of kilohertz . The frequency is usually chosen to be above 20 kHz , to make it inaudible to humans . The switching is implemented as a multistage ( to achieve high gain ) MOSFET amplifier . MOSFETs are a type of transistor with a low on - resistance and a high current - handling capacity . Voltage converter and output rectifier ( edit ) If the output is required to be isolated from the input , as is usually the case in mains power supplies , the inverted AC is used to drive the primary winding of a high - frequency transformer . This converts the voltage up or down to the required output level on its secondary winding . The output transformer in the block diagram serves this purpose . If a DC output is required , the AC output from the transformer is rectified . For output voltages above ten volts or so , ordinary silicon diodes are commonly used . For lower voltages , Schottky diodes are commonly used as the rectifier elements ; they have the advantages of faster recovery times than silicon diodes ( allowing low - loss operation at higher frequencies ) and a lower voltage drop when conducting . For even lower output voltages , MOSFETs may be used as synchronous rectifiers ; compared to Schottky diodes , these have even lower conducting state voltage drops . The rectified output is then smoothed by a filter consisting of inductors and capacitors . For higher switching frequencies , components with lower capacitance and inductance are needed . Simpler , non-isolated power supplies contain an inductor instead of a transformer . This type includes boost converters , buck converters , and the buck - boost converters . These belong to the simplest class of single input , single output converters which use one inductor and one active switch . The buck converter reduces the input voltage in direct proportion to the ratio of conductive time to the total switching period , called the duty cycle . For example an ideal buck converter with a 10 V input operating at a 50 % duty cycle will produce an average output voltage of 5 V. A feedback control loop is employed to regulate the output voltage by varying the duty cycle to compensate for variations in input voltage . The output voltage of a boost converter is always greater than the input voltage and the buck - boost output voltage is inverted but can be greater than , equal to , or less than the magnitude of its input voltage . There are many variations and extensions to this class of converters but these three form the basis of almost all isolated and non-isolated DC to DC converters . By adding a second inductor the Ćuk and SEPIC converters can be implemented , or , by adding additional active switches , various bridge converters can be realized . Other types of SMPSs use a capacitor - diode voltage multiplier instead of inductors and transformers . These are mostly used for generating high voltages at low currents ( Cockcroft - Walton generator ) . The low voltage variant is called charge pump . Regulation ( edit ) This charger for a small device such as a mobile phone is a simple off - line switching power supply with a European plug . The simple circuit has just two transistors , an opto - coupler and rectifier diodes as active components . A feedback circuit monitors the output voltage and compares it with a reference voltage , as shown in the block diagram above . Depending on design and safety requirements , the controller may contain an isolation mechanism ( such as an opto - coupler ) to isolate it from the DC output . Switching supplies in computers , TVs and VCRs have these opto - couplers to tightly control the output voltage . Open - loop regulators do not have a feedback circuit . Instead , they rely on feeding a constant voltage to the input of the transformer or inductor , and assume that the output will be correct . Regulated designs compensate for the impedance of the transformer or coil . Monopolar designs also compensate for the magnetic hysteresis of the core . The feedback circuit needs power to run before it can generate power , so an additional non-switching power - supply for stand - by is added . Transformer design ( edit ) Any switched - mode power supply that gets its power from an AC power line ( called an `` off - line '' converter ) requires a transformer for galvanic isolation . Some DC - to - DC converters may also include a transformer , although isolation may not be critical in these cases . SMPS transformers run at high frequency . Most of the cost savings ( and space savings ) in off - line power supplies result from the smaller size of the high frequency transformer compared to the 50 / 60 Hz transformers formerly used . There are additional design tradeoffs . The terminal voltage of a transformer is proportional to the product of the core area , magnetic flux , and frequency . By using a much higher frequency , the core area ( and so the mass of the core ) can be greatly reduced . However , core losses increase at higher frequencies . Cores generally use ferrite material which has a low loss at the high frequencies and high flux densities used . The laminated iron cores of lower - frequency ( < 400 Hz ) transformers would be unacceptably lossy at switching frequencies of a few kilohertz . Also , more energy is lost during transitions of the switching semiconductor at higher frequencies . Furthermore , more attention to the physical layout of the circuit board is required as parasitics become more significant , and the amount of electromagnetic interference will be more pronounced . Copper loss ( edit ) Main article : Copper loss At low frequencies ( such as the line frequency of 50 or 60 Hz ) , designers can usually ignore the skin effect . For these frequencies , the skin effect is only significant when the conductors are large , more than 0.3 inches ( 7.6 mm ) in diameter . Switching power supplies must pay more attention to the skin effect because it is a source of power loss . At 500 kHz , the skin depth in copper is about 0.003 inches ( 0.076 mm ) -- a dimension smaller than the typical wires used in a power supply . The effective resistance of conductors increases , because current concentrates near the surface of the conductor and the inner portion carries less current than at low frequencies . The skin effect is exacerbated by the harmonics present in the high speed PWM switching waveforms . The appropriate skin depth is not just the depth at the fundamental , but also the skin depths at the harmonics . In addition to the skin effect , there is also a proximity effect , which is another source of power loss . Power factor ( edit ) See also : Power factor Simple off - line switched mode power supplies incorporate a simple full - wave rectifier connected to a large energy storing capacitor . Such SMPSs draw current from the AC line in short pulses when the mains instantaneous voltage exceeds the voltage across this capacitor . During the remaining portion of the AC cycle the capacitor provides energy to the power supply . As a result , the input current of such basic switched mode power supplies has high harmonic content and relatively low power factor . This creates extra load on utility lines , increases heating of building wiring , the utility transformers , and standard AC electric motors , and may cause stability problems in some applications such as in emergency generator systems or aircraft generators . Harmonics can be removed by filtering , but the filters are expensive . Unlike displacement power factor created by linear inductive or capacitive loads , this distortion can not be corrected by addition of a single linear component . Additional circuits are required to counteract the effect of the brief current pulses . Putting a current regulated boost chopper stage after the off - line rectifier ( to charge the storage capacitor ) can correct the power factor , but increases the complexity and cost . In 2001 , the European Union put into effect the standard IEC / EN61000 - 3 - 2 to set limits on the harmonics of the AC input current up to the 40th harmonic for equipment above 75 W . The standard defines four classes of equipment depending on its type and current waveform . The most rigorous limits ( class D ) are established for personal computers , computer monitors , and TV receivers . To comply with these requirements , modern switched - mode power supplies normally include an additional power factor correction ( PFC ) stage . Types ( edit ) Switched - mode power supplies can be classified according to the circuit topology . The most important distinction is between isolated converters and non-isolated ones . Non-isolated topologies ( edit ) Non-isolated converters are simplest , with the three basic types using a single inductor for energy storage . In the voltage relation column , D is the duty cycle of the converter , and can vary from 0 to 1 . The input voltage ( V ) is assumed to be greater than zero ; if it is negative , for consistency , negate the output voltage ( V ) .

When equipment is human - accessible , voltage and power limits of < = 42.4 V peak / 60 V dc and 250 VA apply for safety certification ( UL , CSA , VDE approval ) . The buck , boost , and buck - boost topologies are all strongly related . Input , output and ground come together at one point . One of the three passes through an inductor on the way , while the other two pass through switches . One of the two switches must be active ( e.g. , a transistor ) , while the other can be a diode . Sometimes , the topology can be changed simply by re-labeling the connections . A 12 V input , 5 V output buck converter can be converted to a 7 V input , − 5 V output buck - boost by grounding the output and taking the output from the ground pin . Likewise , SEPIC and Zeta converters are both minor rearrangements of the Ćuk converter . The neutral point clamped ( NPC ) topology is used in power supplies and active filters and is mentioned here for completeness . Switchers become less efficient as duty cycles become extremely short . For large voltage changes , a transformer ( isolated ) topology may be better . Isolated topologies ( edit ) All isolated topologies include a transformer , and thus can produce an output of higher or lower voltage than the input by adjusting the turns ratio . For some topologies , multiple windings can be placed on the transformer to produce multiple output voltages . Some converters use the transformer for energy storage , while others use a separate inductor .

This allows them to be small . This ZVS can deliver more than 1 kilowatt . Transformer is not shown . ^ 1 Flyback converter logarithmic control loop behavior might be harder to control than other types . ^ 2 The forward converter has several variants , varying in how the transformer is `` reset '' to zero magnetic flux every cycle . Quasi-resonant zero - current / zero - voltage switch ( edit ) Quasi-resonant switching switches when the voltage is at a minimum and a valley is detected In a quasi-resonant zero - current / zero - voltage switch ( ZCS / ZVS ) `` each switch cycle delivers a quantized ' packet ' of energy to the converter output , and switch turn - on and turn - off occurs at zero current and voltage , resulting in an essentially lossless switch . '' Quasi-resonant switching , also known as valley switching , reduces EMI in the power supply by two methods : By switching the bipolar switch when the voltage is at a minimum ( in the valley ) to minimize the hard switching effect that causes EMI . By switching when a valley is detected , rather than at a fixed frequency , introduces a natural frequency jitter that spreads the RF emissions spectrum and reduces overall EMI . Efficiency and EMI ( edit ) Higher input voltage and synchronous rectification mode makes the conversion process more efficient . The power consumption of the controller also has to be taken into account . Higher switching frequency allows component sizes to be shrunk , but can produce more RFI . A resonant forward converter produces the lowest EMI of any SMPS approach because it uses a soft - switching resonant waveform compared with conventional hard switching . Failure modes ( edit ) For failure in switching components , circuit board and so on read the failure modes of electronics article . Power supplies which use capacitors suffering from the capacitor plague may experience premature failure when the capacitance drops to 4 % of the original value . This usually causes the switching semiconductor to fail in a conductive way . That may expose connected loads to the full input volt and current , and precipitate wild oscillations in output . Failure of the switching transistor is common . Due to the large switching voltages this transistor must handle ( around 325 V for a 230 V mains supply ) , these transistors often short out , in turn immediately blowing the main internal power fuse . Precautions ( edit ) The main filter capacitor will often store up to 325 volts long after the power cord has been removed from the wall . Not all power supplies contain a small `` bleeder '' resistor to slowly discharge this capacitor . Any contact with this capacitor may result in a severe electrical shock . The primary and secondary sides may be connected with a capacitor to reduce EMI and compensate for various capacitive couplings in the converter circuit , where the transformer is one . This may result in electric shock in some cases . The current flowing from line or neutral through a 2 kΩ resistor to any accessible part must , according to IEC 60950 , be less than 250 μA for IT equipment . Applications ( edit ) Switched mode mobile phone charger A 450 Watt SMPS for use in personal computers with the power input , fan , and output cords visible Switched - mode power supply units ( PSUs ) in domestic products such as personal computers often have universal inputs , meaning that they can accept power from mains supplies throughout the world , although a manual voltage range switch may be required . Switch - mode power supplies can tolerate a wide range of power frequencies and voltages . Due to their high volumes mobile phone chargers have always been particularly cost sensitive . The first chargers were linear power supplies , but they quickly moved to the cost effective ringing choke converter ( RCC ) SMPS topology , when new levels of efficiency were required . Recently , the demand for even lower no - load power requirements in the application has meant that flyback topology is being used more widely ; primary side sensing flyback controllers are also helping to cut the bill of materials ( BOM ) by removing secondary - side sensing components such as optocouplers . Switched - mode power supplies are used for DC to DC conversion as well . In automobiles where heavy vehicles use a nominal 24 V cranking supply , 12V for accessories may be furnished through a DC / DC switch - mode supply . This has the advantage over tapping the battery at the 12V position ( using half the cells ) that all the 12V load is evenly divided over all cells of the 24V battery . In industrial settings such as telecommunications racks , bulk power may be distributed at a low DC voltage ( from a battery back up system , for example ) and individual equipment items will have DC / DC switched - mode converters to supply whatever voltages are needed . A common use for switched - mode power supplies is as extra-low - voltage sources for lighting , and for this application they are often called `` electronic transformers '' . Examples of SMPSs for extra-low voltage lighting applications , called electronic transformers . Terminology ( edit ) The term switchmode was widely used until Motorola claimed ownership of the trademark SWITCHMODE , for products aimed at the switching - mode power supply market , and started to enforce their trademark . Switching - mode power supply , switching power supply , and switching regulator refer to this type of power supply .

About Wikipedia	which circuit is the first stage of a dc power supply	[ "If the SMPS has an AC input, then the first stage is to convert the input to DC. This is called rectification. A SMPS with a DC input does not require this stage. In some power supplies (mostly computer ATX power supplies), the rectifier circuit can be configured as a voltage doubler by the addition of a switch operated either manually or automatically. This feature permits operation from power sources that are normally at 115 V or at 230 V. The rectifier produces an unregulated DC voltage which is then sent to a large filter capacitor. The current drawn from the mains supply by this rectifier circuit occurs in short pulses around the AC voltage peaks. These pulses have significant high frequency energy which reduces the power factor. To correct for this, many newer SMPS will use a special PFC circuit to make the input current follow the sinusoidal shape of the AC input voltage, correcting the power factor. Power supplies that use active PFC usually are auto-ranging, supporting input voltages from ~100 VAC – 250 VAC, with no input voltage selector switch." ]	[ "the rectifier circuit" ]
19741534412594075	Ethiopian eunuch	Ethiopian eunuch - wikipedia Ethiopian eunuch Jump to : navigation , search Rembrandt , The Baptism of the Eunuch , c. 1626 . The Ethiopian eunuch is a figure in the New Testament of the Bible . The story of his conversion to Christianity is recounted in Acts 8 . Contents ( hide ) 1 Biblical narrative 2 Christian traditions 3 Assessment and interpretation 4 References Biblical narrative ( edit ) Philip the Evangelist was told by an angel to go to the road from Jerusalem to Gaza , and there he met the Ethiopian eunuch . He had been to Jerusalem to worship ( Acts 8 : 27 ) , and was returning home . The eunuch was sitting in his chariot reading the Book of Isaiah , and had come to Isaiah 53 : 7 - 8 . Philip asked the Ethiopian , `` Do you understand what you are reading ? '' He said he did not ( `` How can I understand unless I have a teacher to teach me ? '' ) , and asked Philip to explain the text to him . Philip told him the Gospel of Jesus , and the Ethiopian asked to be baptized . They went down into some water and Philip baptized him . In the King James Version and the Catholic Douay - Rheims Version , the Ethiopian says , `` I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God '' ( verse 37 ) , but this is omitted in most modern versions . Hubbard suggests that confession is `` not supported in the better manuscripts ( i.e. the Alexandrian text - type ) ) '' , although the Ethiopian is still `` one of the outstanding converts in Acts . '' After this , Philip was suddenly taken away by the Spirit of the Lord , and the eunuch `` went on his way rejoicing '' ( verse 39 ) . Christian traditions ( edit ) A stained glass diptych showing the baptisms of the Ethiopian eunuch by St. Philip the Evangelist and of Jesus Christ by St. John the Baptist , from the Cathedral of the Incarnation ( Garden City , New York ) . Church Father St. Irenaeus of Lyons in his book Adversus haereses ( Against the Heresies , an early anti-Gnostic theological work ) 3 : 12 : 8 ( 180 AD ) , wrote regarding the Ethiopian eunuch , `` This man ( Simeon Bachos the Eunuch ) was also sent into the regions of Ethiopia , to preach what he had himself believed , that there was one God preached by the prophets , but that the Son of this ( God ) had already made ( His ) appearance in human flesh , and had been led as a sheep to the slaughter ; and all the other statements which the prophets made regarding Him . '' In Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo tradition he was referred to as Bachos and in Eastern Orthodox tradition he is known as an Ethiopian Jew with the name Simeon also called the Black , the same name he is given in Acts 13 : 1 . Assessment and interpretation ( edit ) The Ethiopian is described as a eunuch and a treasury official at the court of Queen Candace ( Acts 8 : 27 ) . D.A. Hubbard suggests that he may have been a proselyte , though Paul Mumo Kisau argues that he was a Godfearer instead . Scott Shauf suggests that the `` primary point of the story is about carrying the gospel to the end of the earth , not about establishing a mission to Gentiles , '' and thus Luke `` does not bring the Gentile status of the Ethiopian into the foreground . '' However , `` the suggestion that the eunuch is or at least might be a Gentile in the story , by both his ethnic and possibly physical description , serves to tantalize the reader with the mystery of the situation . '' The eunuch may have been from Nubia or the Sudan : David Tuesday Adamo suggests that the word used here ( Αίθίοψ , aithiops ) is best translated simply as `` African . '' Commentators generally suggest that the combination of `` eunuch '' together with the title `` court official '' indicates a literal eunuch , who would have been excluded from the Temple by the restriction in Deuteronomy 23 : 1 . Some scholars point out that eunuchs were excluded from Jewish worship and extend the New Testament 's inclusion of these men to other sexual minorities ; John J. McNeill , citing non-literal uses of `` eunuch '' in other New Testament passages such as Matthew 19 : 12 , suggests that this eunuch was `` the first baptized gay Christian , '' while Jack Rogers writes that `` the fact that the first Gentile convert to Christianity is from a sexual minority and a different race , ethnicity and nationality together '' calls Christians to be radically inclusive and welcoming . Illustration from the Menologion of Basil II of Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch . Other scholars have addressed the issue of the eunuch 's race . Some , such as Frank M. Snowden , Jr. , interpret the story as emphasizing that early Christian communities accepted members regardless of race : `` Ethiopians were the yardstick by which antiquity measured colored peoples . '' Others , such as Clarice Martin , write that it is a commentary on the religion rather than on its adherents , showing Christianity 's geographical extent ; Gay L. Byron goes further , saying , `` The Ethiopian eunuch was used by Luke to indicate that salvation could extend even to Ethiopians and Blacks . '' C.K. Barrett contrasts the Ethiopian eunuch 's story with that of Cornelius the Centurion , another convert . He notes that while the Ethiopian continues on his journey home and passes out of the narrative , Cornelius and his followers form another church in Judea , and speculates that this reflects a desire to focus on Peter rather than Philip . Robert O'Toole argues that the way Philip is taken away parallels the way Jesus disappears after he has been talking to the disciples on the road to Emmaus in Luke 24 .

He had been to Jerusalem to worship (Acts 8:27), and was returning home. The eunuch was sitting in his chariot reading the Book of Isaiah, and had come to Isaiah 53:7-8. Philip asked the Ethiopian, \"Do you understand what you are reading?\" He said he did not (\"How can I understand unless I have a teacher to teach me?\"), and asked Philip to explain the text to him. Philip told him the Gospel of Jesus, and the Ethiopian asked to be baptized. They went down into some water and Philip baptized him." ]	[ "Book of Isaiah" ]

Scatter plot First described by John Herschel Purpose To identify the type of relationship ( if any ) between two quantitative variables Waiting time between eruptions and the duration of the eruption for the Old Faithful Geyser in Yellowstone National Park , Wyoming , USA . This chart suggests there are generally two `` types '' of eruptions : short - wait - short - duration , and long - wait - long - duration . A 3D scatter plot allows the visualization of multivariate data . This scatter plot takes multiple scalar variables and uses them for different axes in phase space . The different variables are combined to form coordinates in the phase space and they are displayed using glyphs and colored using another scalar variable . A scatter plot ( also called a scatterplot , scatter graph , scatter chart , scattergram , or scatter diagram ) is a type of plot or mathematical diagram using Cartesian coordinates to display values for typically two variables for a set of data . If the points are color - coded , one additional variable can be displayed . The data are displayed as a collection of points , each having the value of one variable determining the position on the horizontal axis and the value of the other variable determining the position on the vertical axis . Contents ( hide ) 1 Overview 2 Example 3 Scatterplot matrices 4 References 5 External links Overview ( edit ) A scatter plot can be used either when one continuous variable that is under the control of the experimenter and the other depends on it or when both continuous variables are independent . If a parameter exists that is systematically incremented and / or decremented by the other , it is called the control parameter or independent variable and is customarily plotted along the horizontal axis . The measured or dependent variable is customarily plotted along the vertical axis . If no dependent variable exists , either type of variable can be plotted on either axis and a scatter plot will illustrate only the degree of correlation ( not causation ) between two variables . A scatter plot can suggest various kinds of correlations between variables with a certain confidence interval . For example , weight and height , weight would be on y axis and height would be on the x axis . Correlations may be positive ( rising ) , negative ( falling ) , or null ( uncorrelated ) . If the pattern of dots slopes from lower left to upper right , it indicates a positive correlation between the variables being studied . If the pattern of dots slopes from upper left to lower right , it indicates a negative correlation . A line of best fit ( alternatively called ' trendline ' ) can be drawn in order to study the relationship between the variables . An equation for the correlation between the variables can be determined by established best - fit procedures . For a linear correlation , the best - fit procedure is known as linear regression and is guaranteed to generate a correct solution in a finite time . No universal best - fit procedure is guaranteed to generate a correct solution for arbitrary relationships . A scatter plot is also very useful when we wish to see how two comparable data sets agree to show nonlinear relationships between variables . The ability to do this can be enhanced by adding a smooth line such as LOESS . Furthermore , if the data are represented by a mixture model of simple relationships , these relationships will be visually evident as superimposed patterns . The scatter diagram is one of the seven basic tools of quality control . Scatter charts can be built in the form of bubble , marker , or / and line charts . Example ( edit ) For example , to display a link between a person 's lung capacity , and how long that person could hold his / her breath , a researcher would choose a group of people to study , then measure each one 's lung capacity ( first variable ) and how long that person could hold his / her breath ( second variable ) . The researcher would then plot the data in a scatter plot , assigning `` lung capacity '' to the horizontal axis , and `` time holding breath '' to the vertical axis . A person with a lung capacity of 400 cl who held his / her breath for 21.7 seconds would be represented by a single dot on the scatter plot at the point ( 400 , 21.7 ) in the Cartesian coordinates . The scatter plot of all the people in the study would enable the researcher to obtain a visual comparison of the two variables in the data set , and will help to determine what kind of relationship there might be between the two variables . Scatterplot matrices ( edit ) For a set of data variables ( dimensions ) X , X , ... , X , the scatter plot matrix shows all the pairwise scatter plots of the variables on a single view with multiple scatterplots in a matrix format . For k variables , the scatterplot matrix will contain k rows and k columns . A plot located on the intersection of i - th row and j - th column is a plot of variables X versus X . This means that each row and column is one dimension , and each cell plots a scatterplot of two dimensions . A generalized scatterplot matrix offers a range of displays of paired combinations of categorical and quantitative variables . A mosaic plot , fluctuation diagram , or faceted bar chart may be used to display two categorical variables . Other plots are used for one categorical and one quantitative variables .

Team Philadelphia Phillies Description Large , furry , green creature Origin of name Fanatical Philadelphia fans First seen April 25 , 1978 Hall of Fame 2005 Website Official Website The Phillie Phanatic is the official mascot of the Philadelphia Phillies Major League Baseball team . He is a large , furry , green bi-pedal flightless bird with an extendable tongue . According to his official biography , the Phanatic is originally from the Galápagos Islands and is the Phillies ' biggest fan . He performs various routines to entertain fans during baseball games at Citizens Bank Park and makes public relation and goodwill appearances for the Phillies . The Phanatic is widely acknowledged as one of the best ballpark mascots , and is arguably the most recognizable mascot in all of North American sports . Contents ( hide ) 1 Creation 2 Portrayers 3 Performance 4 In popular culture 5 Honors 6 Relation to other mascots 7 Phanatic store at the ballpark 8 See also 9 References 10 Further reading 11 External links Creation ( edit ) During the winter after the 1977 season , Dennis Lehman , who along with the Philadelphia Phillies Promotions Director , Frank Sullivan , thought the team needed a mascot similar to the Padres ' San Diego Chicken , created the Phanatic with help from Harrison / Erickson of New York City ( now known as Acme Mascots ) , which had ties with Jim Henson 's Muppets . Instead of a number on the back of his jersey , he wears a star . The character was named for the fanatical fans of the team . According to Bill Giles , the Phanatic was created to attract more families to the Phillies ' home , Veterans Stadium . The Phanatic replaced `` Philadelphia Phil '' and `` Philadelphia Phillis '' , a pair of siblings dressed in 18th - century garb to invoke the city 's revolutionary spirit from 1776 . The pair were in the team logo from 1976 through 1978 , and were part of the team 's `` Home Run Spectacular '' at The Vet from 1971 through 1979 . They reappeared with their replacement as the Phillies celebrated their final year at Veterans Stadium in 2003 , including opening day and the final game . The Phanatic debuted on April 25 , 1978 , at The Vet , when the Phils played the Chicago Cubs . He was formally introduced to the public on the locally produced children 's show `` Captain Noah and His Magical Ark '' by then - Phillies player Tim McCarver , who was doing promotional work for the team . In his book Pouring Six Beers at a Time , Giles wrote of the worst decision of his life when it came to the creation of the Phanatic . The design would cost $5,200 for both the costume and the copyright ownership , or $3,900 just for the costume with Harrison / Erickson retaining the copyright . Giles chose to just buy the costume . Five years later , when Giles and his group of investors bought the team from Ruly Carpenter , the franchise paid $250,000 to Harrison / Erickson for the copyright . Portrayers ( edit ) The Phillie Phanatic dressed as Rocky Balboa during a game at Veterans Stadium on Opening Day , 1986 . The Phanatic was originally portrayed by David Raymond , who was then working as an intern in the team 's front office , for fifteen years , from 1978 to 1993 . Raymond 's father is retired Delaware Blue Hens Hall of Fame coach Tubby Raymond . Since 1993 , Tom Burgoyne has portrayed the Phanatic , although in public - in order to retain the illusion that the Phanatic is a real creature - Burgoyne maintains that he is only the Phanatic 's `` best friend . '' Performance ( edit ) When the Phillies hosted a `` Star Wars night '' in August 2014 , the Phanatic got in on the fun by using a lightsaber atop the visitors ' dugout The Phanatic rides around on an ATV . During games , the Phanatic wanders the stadium , greeting fans and humorously mocking supporters of the opposition . The Phanatic performs a number of regular routines on the field before the game and between innings . Some of these routines are : Taunting the visiting team by dancing provocatively in front of their dugout , mocking the actions of their players , and smashing or stomping on an object , such as a batting helmet , representing the team . Standing on the roof of the Phillies dugout between halves of the seventh inning for `` The Phanatic Dance '' and remaining on the dugout roof for the home half of the inning to `` hex '' the opposing pitcher . Warming up in the bullpen . Shooting hot dogs into the stands using a pneumatic gun attached to his ATV . Visiting the various broadcast booths and committing various pranks such as pouring popcorn on the broadcasters , spraying Silly String on them , or serving them Philly cheesesteaks . Buffing the heads of any bald fans who happen to be sitting near him in the stands . His mother , Phoebe Phanatic , occasionally appears on - field with the Phanatic . He also has a younger cousin Phred , who is rarely seen . The Phillie Phanatic with the Montreal Expos ' Andrés Galarraga in 1987 The Phanatic 's favorite umpire was the late Eric Gregg , a Philadelphia native , and he would greet him enthusiastically on the field when Gregg was in charge . Gregg would often play along with the Phanatic between innings , sometimes dancing with him or otherwise participating in his routines . One week before the Phillies had their 2006 opener , the Phanatic was `` dyed '' red as part of the team 's week - long promotion to `` Paint the Town Red '' . He was `` dipped into a special paint '' made by a team sponsor MAB Paints ( now Sherwin - Williams ) and changed from green to red . He returned to his regular color in time for the season opener for that year . This was repeated for the 2007 season , as he became red at a Philadelphia Fire Department station to help raise funds for smoke alarms in Philadelphia , raising over $4,000 . `` Paint the Town Red Week '' has been repeated prior to the 2008 , 2009 , 2010 , 2011 , 2012 and 2013 seasons . There is a running gag where the Phanatic humorously mocks opposition players and they would steal his ATV keys in retaliation . However , the Phanatic 's antics are not always popular with opposition players and coaches . The Dodgers ' Tommy Lasorda in particular did not like the Phanatic 's mocking of the Dodgers . In 1988 , he assaulted the Phillie Phanatic during a nationally televised game after the Phanatic stomped on a life - sized dummy wearing Lasorda 's uniform ( reportedly provided by Dodger infielder Steve Sax ) . The Phanatic also has the dubious distinction of being the most sued mascot in sports . In 2010 , a woman filed suit claiming that the Phanatic injured her knee at a minor league game . In popular culture ( edit ) The Phillie Phanatic with fans at Veterans Stadium at a Camera Day pre-game event in 1987 . The Phillie Phanatic in the stands of Veterans Stadium on Opening Day , 1986 . The Phanatic appeared in the closing credits of the film Rocky Balboa ( 2006 ) . The Phanatic appeared on the episode of the television series Jon and Kate Plus 8 titled `` Baseball Game with Daddy '' , where Jon took Cara and all three boys to a Phillies game . The Phanatic 's head disappeared during the Phillies ' `` Final Pieces '' charity sale and auction in 2004 . Tom Burgoyne had taken off the costume for a break and found the head missing when he returned . One week later , someone anonymously called a local radio station claiming that he found the head and would bring it to the radio station . Police arrested and charged Bernard Bechtel with felony theft after he brought the $3,000 head to the station . In March 2009 , the Phanatic appeared on The Simpsons in the episode `` Gone Maggie Gone '' , greeting a party of nuns disembarking from a ship at the future site of Philadelphia . In the episode `` Dancin ' Homer '' , there is a mascot that looks similar to the Phanatic , the Capital City Goofball . In November 2009 , the Phanatic was part of a bit on the Late Show with David Letterman called `` Get to Know the Phillie Phanatic '' . In 2010 , the Phanatic appeared in the This is SportsCenter series of advertisements with Derek Jeter of the New York Yankees . The Phanatic was mimicked in an episode of It 's Always Sunny in Philadelphia called `` The World Series Defense '' . In the episode , Charlie 's `` Green Man '' challenges that the `` Phrenetic '' ( as it is referred to in the episode ) should not be the only mascot for the Phillies . He is promptly put in his place by the `` Phrenetic '' . In an interview with Angelo Cataldi , Tom Burgoyne revealed that Major League Baseball declined to allow the Phanatic to be used in the episode . Charlie references this at the conclusion of the episode , attempting to file a countersuit against Major League Baseball due to the fact that he has to call the mascot the `` Phrenetic '' when he knows its name is the `` Phanatic '' . On January 26 , 2012 , the Phanatic ( credited to Tom Burgoyne ) appeared as itself on an episode of the NBC sitcom 30 Rock called `` The Ballad of Kenneth Parcell '' . In 2015 , the podcast 99 % Invisible did an episode about the evolution of mascots focusing on the creation of the Phanatic . The Phanatic was also on an episode of the show The Goldbergs in 2014 called `` The Lost Boy '' , and made a cameo appearance on College GameDay when the ESPN show visited Philadelphia for a matchup between Temple and Notre Dame . Honors ( edit ) The Phanatic was voted `` best mascot ever '' by Sports Illustrated Kids . In January 2008 , Forbes magazine named the Phanatic the best mascot in sports . In 2005 , David Raymond founded the Mascot Hall of Fame , and the Phanatic was inducted as a charter member . Since 2003 , Burgoyne has written several children 's books , published by the team , featuring the Phanatic . In 2009 , the Phanatic was one of several recipients of the Great Friend to Kids ( GFTK ) Awards , given by the Please Touch Museum ( the Children 's Museum of Philadelphia ) . The Phillie Phanatic , along with Youppi ! and the San Diego Chicken , are the only mascots on display in the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown , New York . In 2010 , an assortment of 5 feet ( 1.5 m ) tall , 100 pounds ( 45 kg ) fiberglass statues were painted by artists and placed on display throughout Philadelphia from April through August with all monies raised going to Phillies ' Charities . In 2015 , Good Morning America bestowed the honor of the best mascot in baseball on the Phanatic . Relation to other mascots ( edit ) In 1989 , Orlando 's NBA expansion team , the Magic , was founded largely through the efforts of former Philadelphia 76ers General Manager Pat Williams . Williams introduced Stuff , a furry green dragon with similarities to the Phillie Phanatic , as the team 's official mascot . When Williams staged the `` birth '' of Stuff at an Orlando event , the man inside the Stuff was Dave Raymond . The Hiroshima Toyo Carp mascot Slyly bears a resemblance to the Phanatic . Both characters were designed by Harrison / Erickson .

He is a large, furry, green bi-pedal flightless bird[1] with an extendable tongue. According to his official biography, the Phanatic is originally from the Galápagos Islands and is the Phillies' biggest fan. He performs various routines to entertain fans during baseball games at Citizens Bank Park and makes public relation and goodwill appearances for the Phillies. The Phanatic is widely acknowledged as one of the best ballpark mascots,[2][3][4] and is arguably the most recognizable mascot in all of North American sports.[5]" ]	[ "He is a large, furry, green bi-pedal flightless bird" ]
4978472939030145901	Ombudsman	Ombudsman - Wikipedia Ombudsman Sign in Banjul , capital of The Gambia , giving directions to the ombudsman 's office An ombudsman , ombudsperson , ombud , or public advocate is an official who is charged with representing the interests of the public by investigating and addressing complaints of maladministration or a violation of rights . The ombudsman is usually appointed by the government or by parliament , but with a significant degree of independence . In some countries an inspector general , citizen advocate or other official may have duties similar to those of a national ombudsman , and may also be appointed by a legislature . Below the national level an ombudsman may be appointed by a state , local or municipal government . Unofficial ombudsmen may be appointed by , or even work for , a corporation such as a utility supplier , newspaper , NGO , or professional regulatory body . The typical duties of an ombudsman are to investigate complaints and attempt to resolve them , usually through recommendations ( binding or not ) or mediation . Ombudsmen sometimes also aim to identify systematic issues leading to poor service or breaches of people 's rights . At the national level , most ombudsmen have a wide mandate to deal with the entire public sector , and sometimes also elements of the private sector ( for example , contracted service providers ) . In some cases , there is a more restricted mandate , for example with particular sectors of society . More recent developments have included the creation of specialized Children 's Ombudsman and Information Commissioner agencies . In some jurisdictions an ombudsman charged with handling concerns about national government is more formally referred to as the `` Parliamentary Commissioner '' ( e.g. the United Kingdom Parliamentary Commissioner for Administration , and the Western Australian state Ombudsman ) . In many countries where the ombudsman 's responsibility includes protecting human rights , the ombudsman is recognized as the national human rights institution . The post of ombudsman had by the end of the 20th century been instituted by most governments and by some intergovernmental organizations such as the European Union .

The position of secret royal inspector , or Amhaeng - eosa ( 암행 어사 , 暗行御史 ) was unique to the Joseon Dynasty , where an undercover official directly appointed by the king was sent to local provinces to monitor government officials and look after the populace while travelling incognito . The Roman Tribune had some similar roles , with power to veto acts that infringed upon the Plebeians . Another precursor to the ombudsman was the Turkish Diwan - al - Mazalim which appears to go back to the second caliph , Umar ( 634 -- 644 ) and the concept of Qadi al - Qudat . They were also attested in Siam , India , the Liao dynasty ( Khitan Empire ) , Japan , and China . An indigenous Swedish , Norwegian , and Danish term , ombudsman is etymologically rooted in the Old Norse word umboðsmaðr , essentially meaning `` representative '' ( with the word umbud / ombud meaning proxy , attorney , that is someone who is authorized to act for someone else , a meaning it still has in the Scandinavian languages ) . In the Danish Law of Jutland from 1241 , the term is umbozman and means a royal civil servant in a hundred . From 1552 , it is also used in the other Scandinavian languages such as the both Icelandic and Faroese umboðsmaður , the Norwegian ombudsmann / ombodsmann and the Swedish ombudsman . The Swedish - speaking minority in Finland uses the Swedish terminology . Use of the term in modern times began in Sweden , with the Swedish Parliamentary Ombudsman instituted by the Instrument of Government of 1809 , to safeguard the rights of citizens by establishing a supervisory agency independent of the executive branch . The predecessor of the Swedish Parliamentary Ombudsman was the Office of Supreme Ombudsman ( `` Högste Ombudsmannen '' ) , which was established by the Swedish King , Charles XII , in 1713 . Charles XII was in exile in Turkey and needed a representative in Sweden to ensure that judges and civil servants acted in accordance with the laws and with their duties . If they did not do so , the Supreme Ombudsman had the right to prosecute them for negligence . In 1719 the Swedish Office of Supreme Ombudsman became the Chancellor of Justice . The Parliamentary Ombudsman was established in 1809 by the Swedish Riksdag , as a parallel institution to the still - present Chancellor of Justice , reflecting the concept of separation of powers as developed by Montesquieu . The Parliamentary Ombudsman is the institution that the Scandinavian countries subsequently developed into its contemporary form , and which subsequently has been adopted in many other parts of the world . The word ombudsman and its specific meaning have since been adopted in various languages , such as Dutch . The German language uses Ombudsmann , Ombudsfrau and Ombudsleute . Notable exceptions are French and Finnish , which use translations instead . Modern variations of this term include `` ombud , '' `` ombuds , '' `` ombudsperson , '' or `` ombudswoman , '' and the conventional English plural is ombudsmen . In Nigeria , the ombudsman is known as the Public Complaints Commission or the ombudsman In politics ( edit ) In general , an ombudsman is a state official appointed to provide a check on government activity in the interests of the citizen , and to oversee the investigation of complaints of improper government activity against the citizen . If the ombudsman finds a complaint to be substantiated , the problem may get rectified , or an ombudsman report is published making recommendations for change . Further redress depends on the laws of the country concerned , but this typically involves financial compensation . Ombudsmen in most countries do not have the power to initiate legal proceedings or prosecution on the grounds of a complaint . This role is sometimes referred to as a `` tribunician '' role , and has been traditionally fulfilled by elected representatives -- the term refers to the ancient Roman `` tribunes of the plebeians '' ( tribuni plebis ) , whose role was to intercede in the political process on behalf of common citizens . The major advantage of an ombudsman is that he or she examines complaints from outside the offending state institution , thus avoiding the conflicts of interest inherent in self - policing . However , the ombudsman system relies heavily on the selection of an appropriate individual for the office , and on the cooperation of at least some effective official from within the apparatus of the state . The institution has also been criticized : `` Ombudsmen are relics of absolutism , designed to iron out the worst excesses of administrative arbitrariness while keeping the power structures intact . '' In organizations ( edit ) Main article : Organizational ombudsman Many private companies , universities , non-profit organisations and government agencies also have an ombudsman ( or an ombuds office ) to serve internal employees , and managers and / or other constituencies . These ombudsman roles are structured to function independently , by reporting to the CEO or board of directors , and according to International Ombudsman Association ( IOA ) Standards of Practice they do not have any other role in the organisation . Organisational ombudsmen often receive more complaints than alternative procedures such as anonymous hot - lines . Since the 1960s , the profession has grown in the United States , and Canada , particularly in corporations , universities and government agencies . The organizational ombudsman works as a designated neutral party , one who is high - ranking in an organization , but who is not part of executive management . Using an alternative dispute resolution ( ADR ) or appropriate dispute resolution approach , an organisational ombudsman can provide options to whistleblowers or employees and managers with ethical concerns ; provide coaching , shuttle diplomacy , generic solutions ( meaning a solution which protects the identity of one individual by applying to a class of people , rather than just for the one individual ) and mediation for conflicts ; track problem areas ; and make recommendations for changes to policies or procedures in support of orderly systems change . Ombudsman Services by country ( edit ) Albania ( edit ) The People 's Advocate ( Ombudsman ) of the Republic of Albania ( Albanian : Avokati i Popullit ) was envisaged in Chapter VI of the Albanian Constitution approved in November 1998 ( articles 60 -- 63 and 134 ) .

'' The Parliament passed the Law on the People 's Advocate , Law No. 8454 , in February 1999 . The People 's Advocate is elected by three - fifths of all members of the Assembly for a five - year period , with the right of re-election . The Law has since been amended by Law No. 8600 , of 10 April 2000 , and Law No. 9398 , of 12 May 2005 .

The 2003 law governing the office was amended later in 2006 , 2008 and 2010 . Karen Andreasyan was the third human rights defender in Armenia . On 2 March 2011 , the National Assembly of Armenia elected the new Armenian Ombudsman , with 83 parliamentarians voting for and 13 against . Karen Andreasyan assumed his responsibilities as Human Rights Defender of the Republic of Armenia as of 3 March 2011 .

It also informs the public prosecutor in the cases that constitute criminal offenses . It updates both the complainant and the defendant about the steps taken to investigate the complaints and the conclusions of the investigations . http://www.ombudsman.bh/en/about/ Belgium ( edit ) Belgium has one federal and four regional statutory ombudsman agencies , all covering the normal range of complaint - handling , investigation and mediation within the respective jurisdictions of their founding legislature . The office dealing with complaints against the federal authorities is the Federal Ombudsman ( Dutch : de federale Ombudsman , French : le Médiateur fédéral , German : der föderale Ombudsmann ) . The office was established in 1997 . The Vlaamse Ombudsdienst ( Vlaamse Ombudsdienst ) was established by the Flemish Parliament by decree of 7 July 1998 ( the Ombudsdecreet ) . The Walloon Ombudsman ( Médiateur de la Région Wallonne ) , established by decree of the Walloon Parliament of 22 December 1994 , seeks to help any person , natural or legal , who is experiencing difficulties with the Walloon regional authorities to arrive at a solution without litigation .

There is a Pensions Ombudsman service ( Ombudsdienst Pensioenen , Service de médiation Pensions , Ombudsmann für Pensionen ) at the federal level . Bermuda ( edit ) The Office of the Ombudsman for Bermuda was established by the Bermuda Constitution and is governed by the Ombudsman Act 2004 . The first National Ombudsman for Bermuda , Arlene Brock , was appointed on 1 August 2005 by the Governor after consultation with the Premier who first consulted with the Opposition Leader . The Ombudsman investigates complaints about the administrative actions of Public Authorities , including Government Departments , Boards and Bodies established or funded by the Legislature . Bosnia and Herzegovina ( edit ) The Institution of Human Rights Ombudsman / Ombudsmen of Bosnia and Herzegovina is also the country 's UN-accredited national human rights institution . It was created by law in 2004 . While the ombudsman 's Child Rights Section is a member of the Children 's Ombudsman network , there is a separate children 's ombudsman in Republika Srpska . Brazil ( edit ) In Brazil the nearest equivalent to the office of ombudsman is the Procuradoria Federal dos Direitos do Cidadão , part of Public Ministry of Brazil , which is independent . Government agencies have Hearing Officer ( Portuguese : Ouvidor ) , usually heading a service called Ouvidoria , and each government agency defines its own service . These Hearing Officer usually lack full independence . Examples of public service ombudsmen are the Ouvidoria da Polícia do Estado de São Paulo -- São Paulo State Police Ombudsman -- and the Ouvidoria da Secretaria de Defesa Social do Estado do Rio Grande do Norte -- Ombudsman of the Social Security Ministry of the State of Rio Grande do Norte . Bulgaria ( edit ) The Ombudsman of the Republic of Bulgaria ( Bulgarian : Омбудсман на Република България ) is the national human rights institution , in addition to the normal range of functions in relation to maladministration .

Canada ( edit ) In Canada , ombudsman offices are present in most departments of the federal government , in many provincial and municipal governments as well as in Crown Corporations such as CBC and Canada Post . There is an Ombudsman for the Department of National Defence and the Canadian Forces , an Office of the Procurement Ombudsman , an Office for the Ombudsman for the Victims of Crimes , an Office of the Taxpayers Ombudsman and an Office of the Veterans Ombudsman . There are also several independent ombuds offices in Canada , including the Ombudsman for Banking Services and Investments and various child advocate offices . Provincial and territorial ombudsmen ( edit ) While Canada has no single national legislative ombudsman , nine Canadian provinces and one territory have parliamentary ombudsmen ( sometimes called `` citizens ' protector '' or `` citizens ' representative '' ) in the classical / legislative tradition , who oversee the provincial government and receive and investigate public complaints . They are : Alberta Ombudsman , established 1967 ; Office of the Ombudsperson , British Columbia ; Ombudsman Manitoba , established 1970 ; New Brunswick Ombudsman 's Office , established 1967 ; Citizens ' Representative of Newfoundland and Labrador ; Nova Scotia Office of the Ombudsman , established 1970 ; Ontario Ombudsman , established 1975 Ontario Patient Ombudsman , established 2015 Quebec Ombudsman ( French : Le Protecteur du citoyen ) , established 1968 ; Ombudsman Saskatchewan , established 1972 ; and Office of the Yukon Ombudsman and Information & Privacy Commissioner . Chile ( edit ) Chile remains in 2012 the only country in South America without a national ombudsman office , although one was envisaged in a constitutional reform proposed in the Senate by the President in 2000 . Indeed , Chile is not listed as having an ombudsman on the website of the Ibero - American Federation of Ombudsmen . There exists , however , a ' Capítulo Chileno del Ombudsman ' , or ' Chilean Ombudsman Chapter ' , an organisation lobbying for the introduction of a national ombudsman . Some other public bodies , such as the National Institute of Human Rights ( Instituto Nacional de Derechos Humanos ) or the Transparency Council ( Consejo para la Transparencia ) , have quasi-ombudsman functions , in that their statutes allow them to appeal to the legislature and judiciary for protection and development of fundamental rights . However , unlike many other ombudsman agencies , they do not have constitutional status , but were created by ordinary statutes .

Ombudsman is elected by the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia for a five - year - term and is accountable to the Assembly for his work . The Ombudsman enjoys the same immunity as a member of the parliament . The first Serbian Ombudsman , Saša Janković , was elected by the National Assembly in July 2007 . He has four deputies , who are specialized in several fields , especially the protection of rights of persons deprived of liberty , gender equality , children rights , minority rights and rights of people with disabilities .

He has no jurisdiction over the National Assembly , the President , the Government , the Constitutional Court , courts and Public Prosecutor 's Office . The Ombudsman initiates proceedings following the complaint of a citizen or on his own initiative . State administration bodies are legally obliged to cooperate with the Ombudsman and to provide him access to their premises and all data in their possession , regardless of the degree of secrecy , when of interest to the investigation in process or the Ombudsman 's preventive actions . As a result of an investigation , the Ombudsman may recommend dismissal of an official considered responsible for violation of the rights of citizens , may initiate disciplinary procedures against public administration employees , and may require initiation of penal , offence or other adequate procedure .

Most recent ombudsman , lawyer and university teacher Mária Patakyová , was elected in March 2017 . Slovenia ( edit ) The institution of the Human Rights Ombudsman of the Republic of Slovenia was introduced into the Slovenian constitutional order through the new Constitution of the Republic of Slovenia , which was adopted in December 1991 . The Human Rights Ombudsman is defined in Article 159 of the Constitution , which provides that in order to protect human rights and fundamental freedoms in relation to state authorities , local self - government authorities and bearers of public authority , the office of the Ombudsman for the rights of citizens shall be established by law . The Human Rights Ombudsman of the Republic of Slovenia is a constitutional category that does not fall under the executive , judicial or legislative branch of authority . The Ombudsman is therefore not part of any mechanism of authority , but rather acts as an overseer of authority since as an institution it restricts its capricious encroachment of human rights and fundamental freedoms . The Ombudsman is in his work not only limited to handling direct violations defined as human rights and freedoms in the constitution , moreover , he may act in any case whatsoever dealing with a violation of any right of an individual arising from a holder of authority . He can intervene also in the case if unfair and poor state administration in relation to the individual . If the aforementioned is considered , it can have a significant impact on the development and increase in legal and administrative culture between holders of authority and the individual . Human rights ombudsman is in relation towards the state bodies , autonomous and independent agency . The Ombudsman can caution violators that they should put right their violation or eliminate irregularities committed , or can even propose compensation . On your behalf , and with your authorisation , he can lodge with the Constitutional Court a request for assessment of the constitutionality and legality of regulations or official documents , or he may submit a constitutional complaint owing to the violation of some right . He may submit to the government or parliament initiatives for the amendment of laws and other regulations . He may also suggest to all bodies that fall within his competence that they improve their dealings and relations with clients . The Ombudsman may also communicate his opinion to anyone regarding cases that are linked to the violation of rights and freedoms . Here it is not important what kind of procedure is involved , nor the stage of processing it has reached at the body in question . The Ombudsman can not perform work or remove violations or irregularities in place of the specific state body , local community body or holder of public authorisation . Those that committed the violation or irregularity are bound also themselves to putting right the violation or irregularity . Equally , the Ombudsman can not deal with cases that are subject to court proceedings , except in exceptional cases .

There are comparable offices in the autonomous communities of Spain , as follows : Defensor del Pueblo Andaluz ( Andalusia ) Justicia de Aragón ( Aragon ) Ararteko ( full name on website : Herriaren Defendatzailea : Ararteko ) ( Basque Country ) Diputado del Común ( Canary Islands ) Procurador del Común ( Castile and León ) Síndic de Greuges de Catalunya ( Catalonia ) Personero del Común ( Extremadura ) Valedor do Pobo ( Galicia ) Síndic de Greuges de les Illes Balears ( Balearic Islands ) Defensor del Pueblo de la Región de Murcia ( Murcia ) Defensor del Pueblo de Navarra / Nafarroako Arartekoa ( Navarre ) Síndic de Greuges de la Comunitat Valenciana ( Valencian Community ) See also Syndic for more uses of the word síndic in the Catalan linguistic area . Sweden ( edit ) The office of the Parliamentary Ombudsman ( Swedish : Riksdagens ombudsmän , or Justitieombudsmannen ) was established with the Instrument of Government in 1809 , originally under the title of Ombudsmannen för Riksens ständer . The office was modelled after Chancellor of Justice ( Swedish : Justitiekanslern ) , and according to the principle of separation of powers . The Chancellor of Justice was installed in 1714 as a proxy for King Charles XII of Sweden , to act as a representative for the Royal Government . Today it acts as an ombudsman , mainly to oversee that Swedish authorities comply with laws on behalf of the Government , but also to handle indemnity claims from persons suffered from imprisonment but later acquitted , or other damages caused by authorities . The Parliamentary Ombudsman was in turn appointed to represent the parliament ; to oversee that all public authorities comply with the laws and decrees . The latter had the specific duty to protect the citizens and as a public attorney prosecute unlawful government or actions by authorities and criticise problematic laws , to ensure equality in the court of law , with inspections and handling of complains . With growing attention to discrimination issues in the latter part of the 20th century a number of new anti-discriminatory Ombudsmen was appointed , to later be gathered under one roof , with the establishment of the Equality Ombudsman ( Swedish : Diskrimineringsombudsmannen ) in 2009 . The Ombudsman for Children ( Swedish : Barnombudsmannen ) was established in 1993 , and is tasked with matters affecting the rights and interests of children and young people . The Director - General of the Swedish Consumer Agency is the designated Consumer Ombudsman ( Swedish : Konsumentombudsmannen ) . Non-government appointed entities are the Pressombudsmannen , supervising compliance with the code of ethics of the Swedish printed media industry , and Sameombudsmannen , an advocate for the rights of the native Sami minority in Sweden , appointed by the Saami Council until 1997 . Tajikistan ( edit ) The Office of the Human Rights Ombudsman was established in 2009 , and receives support from the OSCE . The current Ombudsman is Zarif Alizoda , appointed by President Emomalii Rahmon and approved by Parliament in May 2009 . The functions of his office include human rights education , on which it co-operates with other public bodies and NGOs . It also works with a coalition of NGOs on monitoring places of detention . Thailand ( edit ) This section needs to be updated . Please update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information . ( January 2015 ) The Office of the Ombudsman Thailand ( Thai : ผู้ ตรวจ การ แผ่นดิน ของ รัฐสภา ; RTGS : Phu Truat Kan Phaen Din Khong Ratthasapha ) was created in the 1997 Constitution of Thailand or the `` people 's constitution '' . The name was shortened to the Ombudsmen ( Thai : ผู้ ตรวจ การ แผ่นดิน ; RTGS : Phu Truat Kan Phaen Din ) by the 2007 Constitution of Thailand . The idea for such an office first appeared in the 1974 constitution . However it was not until 1997 that the concept was acted upon . Ombudsmen are appointed by the King of Thailand upon the advice of the Senate of Thailand . The ombudsmen investigate complaints by the public against public officials and agencies . They have the power to prosecute , but not to enforce judgments . Ombudsmen are appointed to a six - year non-renewable term . As of March 2017 Thailand 's ombudsmen are : General Viddhavat Rajatanun Mr Boon Tapanadul Turkey ( edit ) The Ombudsman 's Office was created after the constitutional referendum of 2010 was approved . The Ombudsman 's Office is responsible for examining and investigating all manner of administrative acts , actions , attitudes and behavior in terms of respect for human rights and freedoms , conformity with the law and fairness and appropriateness within the framework of the character of the Republic of Turkey as enshrined in its Constitution . It performs its functions as part of the Parliament Speaker 's Office . The Ombudsman 's Office is called the Public Monitoring Institution ( KDK ) and has an independent and autonomous budget . Mehmet Nihat Ömeroğlu ( tr ) was elected the first ombudsman of the country on 27 November 2012 by the Parliament , and was sworn in on 5 December . His selection was somewhat controversial since he had been involved , as a judge in the Court of Cassation , in upholding the 2006 conviction of the Turkish - Armenian writer Hrant Dink for the offence of `` insulting Turkishness '' -- a finding subsequently condemned by the European Court of Human Rights , although Dink had in the interim been assassinated . Ukraine ( edit ) The office of ombudsman , or Commissioner for Human Rights , in Ukraine was instituted in 1998 . The first ombudsman was Nina Karpachova until 2012 . Valeriya Lutkovska was elected to the office for a five - year term by secret ballot in the Ukrainian Parliament on 24 April 2012 . Under Article 55 of the 1996 Constitution , `` Everyone has the right to appeal for the protection of his her rights to the Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights '' . Article 101 provides `` The Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights exercises parliamentary control over the observance of constitutional human and citizens ' rights and freedoms . '' The legal basis of the office , which is also Ukraine 's national human rights institution , is set out in Law 767 / 97 , which refers to the office as the `` Authorised Human Rights Representative '' of the Parliament. . Lyudmyla Denisova was elected to the office by secret ballot in the Ukrainian Parliament on 15 March 2018 . United Kingdom ( edit ) In the United Kingdom a post of Ombudsman is attached to the Westminster Parliament , jurisdiction extending to all departments of the central government and other government institutions . The office of the Parliamentary Commissioner for Administration was created in 1967 , covering the activities of central government departments . A separate ( National ) Health Service ombudsman was subsequently created , but this office has to date always been held by the same person and the two offices are usually referred to as the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman . This Ombudsman will usually investigate complaints referred to him or her by a Member of Parliament where there has been evidence of `` maladministration '' having occurred which has resulted in an `` unremedied injustice '' . Complaints to the Ombudsman are subject to a `` time bar '' -- this means that the Ombudsman may determine a complaint to be out of jurisdiction if too much time has passed between the event or course of events being complained about and the complaint being received by the Ombudsman . Separate agencies exist to handle complaints relating to departments and agencies of the devolved administrations . These are the Northern Ireland Ombudsman , the Public Services Ombudsman for Wales and the Scottish Public Services Ombudsman , answerable respectively to the Northern Ireland Assembly , the Welsh Assembly and the Scottish Parliament . The Local Government Ombudsman ( formally the Commission for Local Government Administration -- there are two Commissioners ) for England and Wales was created in 1973 , and a similar office for Scotland in 1974 ; since then , a variety of other public and private sector - specific ombudsmen have been created , along with the Northern Ireland Ombudsman . Other Ombudsman Services in the United Kingdom ( edit ) Communications and Internet Services Adjudication Scheme ( CISAS ) provides free , independent dispute resolution with communications providers Financial Ombudsman Service provides consumers and small businesses with a free , independent service for resolving disputes with Banks , Insurance and other financial organisations ( includes private medical insurance ) Financial Services Ombudsman Scheme for the Isle of Man Furniture Ombudsman Housing Ombudsman : An independent service dealing with complaints against landlords and agents , and other housing disputes .

Uruguay ( edit ) In 2012 the Uruguayan Ombudsman was appointed . The Ombudsman was created in 2010 as a Parliamentary Officer . The formal name of the institution is Institute for Human Rights and Ombudsman ( Instituto para los Derechos Humanos y Defensoria del Pueblo ) . It is composed of 5 members appointed by the Uruguayan Parliament . Uzbekistan ( edit ) The office of the Authorized Person of the Oliy Majlis of the Republic of Uzbekistan for Human Rights , or Ombudsman , was created in 1995 , by an initiative of the President of Uzbekistan , but subsequently through legislation enacted in 1997 , reinforced by a constitutional reform in 2003 and a new ombudsman statute in 2004 . The current Authorised Person , appointed by the Supreme Assembly of Uzbekistan ( Oliy Majlis ) , is Ulugbek Muhammadiev . The office was one of the first ombudsmen established in the Commonwealth of Independent States , and receives technical support from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe . In fiction ( edit ) For the Canadian television series , see Ombudsman ( TV series ) . In the science fiction television series Babylon 5 , the arbiters aboard space station Babylon 5 who preside over cases stemming from public complaints are referred to as ombuds ( this is both the singular and plural designation ) , the gender - neutral title for an ombudsman . Just as with their modern European counterparts , the ombuds only preside over public cases , including robbery , assault , and murder , and do not interpret law as a regular judiciary does . Opus the penguin was an ombudsman in the strip Bloom County until he was fired . John Perry , the protagonist of The Last Colony , written by John Scalzi starts off the novel as an ombudsman for a newly settled human colony . The webcomic PvP ran a story arc starting at the beginning of March 2009 parodying the comic series and movie Watchmen called The Ombudsmen . The Fox News parody show , Red Eye with Greg Gutfeld , meets three times per episode with `` TV 's Andy Levy , Ombudsman '' ...

-398695217292310666	National Do Not Call Registry	National Do Not Call Registry - wikipedia National Do Not Call Registry Jump to : navigation , search This article is about the Do Not Call Registry in the United States . For similar lists in other countries , see Do not call list . The National Do Not Call Registry is a database maintained by the United States federal government , listing the telephone numbers of individuals and families who have requested that telemarketers not contact them . Certain callers are required by federal law to respect this request . Separate laws and regulations apply to robocalls in the United States . Contents ( hide ) 1 Implementation Act 2 Legal challenges 3 Exceptions to the do - not - call rule 3.1 Exceptions 3.2 Loopholes 4 Enforcement 5 Do - Not - Call Improvement Act of 2007 6 Results 7 See also 8 References 9 External links Implementation Act ( edit ) On June 27 , 2003 , the U.S. Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) opened the National Do Not Call Registry in order to comply with the Do - Not - Call Implementation Act of 2003 ( Pub. L. 108 -- 10 , was H.R. 395 , and codified at 15 U.S.C. § 6101 et . seq . ) , sponsored by Representatives Billy Tauzin and John Dingell and signed into law by President George W. Bush on March 11 , 2003 . The law established the FTC 's National Do Not Call Registry in order to facilitate compliance with the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 . Registration for the Do - Not - Call list began on June 27 , 2003 , and enforcement started on October 1 , 2003 . Since January 1 , 2005 , telemarketers covered by the registry have up to 31 days ( initially the period was 90 days ) from the date a number is registered to cease calling that number . Originally , phone numbers remained on the registry for a period of five years , but are now permanent because of the Do - Not - Call Improvement Act of 2007 , effective February 2008 . Consumers may add landline or cellular numbers to the registry , but FCC regulations prohibit telemarketers from calling a cellular phone number with an automatic dialer under almost all circumstances . In 2005 , a rumor began circulating via e-mail that cell phone providers were planning on making their number directories available to telemarketers . The FTC responded by clarifying that cell phones can not be called by telemarketers . Similarly , fax numbers do not need to be included in the registry due to existing federal laws and regulations that prohibit the sending of unsolicited faxes . If a person does not want to register a number on the national registry , he or she can still prohibit individual telemarketers from calling by asking the caller to put the called number on the company 's do - not - call list . Legal challenges ( edit ) The do - not - call list was slated to take effect on October 1 , 2003 , but two federal district court decisions almost delayed it . One from Oklahoma was overcome by special legislation giving the FTC specific jurisdiction over the matter . The other from Colorado revolved around questions of regulation of commercial speech and threatened to delay implementation of the list . However , President Bush signed a bill authorizing the no - call list to go ahead in September 2003 . Finally , the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit on February 17 , 2004 , upheld the constitutionality of the law . Exceptions to the Do - Not - Call rule ( edit ) Exceptions ( edit ) Placing one 's number on the National Do Not Call Registry will stop some , but not all , unsolicited calls . The following are exceptions granted by existing laws and regulations -- and these types of organizations can register with donotcall.gov and can purchase telephone lists from the Do Not Call Registry The registry only applies to personal calls , not to business lines or business to business calls . A person may still receive calls from political organizations . The organization Citizens for Civil Discourse has lobbied Congress to close this exception by developing a National Political Do Not Call Registry where voters can register their phone numbers and ask politicians to take the `` Do Not Contact Pledge '' . Its database is not backed by the force of law and as of November 2008 , only 3 politicians running for office signed the pledge . A person may still receive calls from not - for - profit organizations . A person may still receive calls from those conducting surveys . A person may still receive calls from a company up to 31 days after submitting an application or inquiry to that company , unless the company is specifically asked not to call . A person may still receive calls from bill collectors ( either primary creditors or collection agencies ) . These callers are , however , regulated by other laws , such as the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act , which limits them to calling during `` reasonable hours '' . Some creditors may not call debtors who file for bankruptcy protection . Loopholes ( edit ) Some attempts have been made by telemarketers to skirt the do - not - call list rules . An example is the Dove Foundation , which places `` survey '' calls and then requests permission for a follow - up call . The follow - up call is conducted by a for - profit company attempting to sell products . This operation resulted in a restraining order in Missouri in March 2006 . Enforcement ( edit ) Complaints concerning telemarketing calls to homes and personal cell phones can be made to the U.S. Federal Communications Commission and the Federal Trade Commission . The Federal Communications Commission has created rules implementing the National Do - Not - Call Implementation Act . These rules are codified at the Code of Federal Regulations , title 47 , Section 64.1200 . The rules should be consulted in order to determine whether a particular incident violated the rules and can result in enforcement . In order to create an actionable complaint pursuant to FCC rules , an individual with a home phone or a personal cell phone is required to specify details of the infraction to the FCC . Typically this includes facts such as when the call occurred , the phone number called , the calling organization , the goods or services being marketed , whether the caller has any exemption status . Details of these rules can be found on the FCC 's complaint form . Many journalists and victims of fraudulent calls and Do - Not - Call violations have extensively documented ongoing and widespread inaction and lack of enforcement by the FTC . In May 2014 Sprint Corporation was fined a record $7.5 million for failing to honor requests by consumers to opt out of receiving telemarketing calls and texts . The fine followed an investigation that had begun in 2012 . `` We expect companies to respect the privacy of consumers who have opted out of marketing calls , '' Travis LeBlanc , acting chief of the FCC 's enforcement bureau , said at the time . `` When a consumer tells a company to stop calling or texting with promotional pitches , that request must be honored . Today 's settlement leaves no question that protecting consumer privacy is a top enforcement priority . '' Do - Not - Call Improvement Act of 2007 ( edit ) On February 15 , 2008 , U.S. President George W. Bush signed H.R. 3541 into law as Pub. L. 110 -- 187 , the Do - Not - Call Improvement Act of 2007 . Two major changes were enacted through this law : While originally required to renew their phone numbers every five years , consumers need now only register once to maintain their phone numbers on the Do Not Call Registry . The frequency with which the FTC must purge the registry of disconnected and reassigned numbers has also been increased to several times a month . However , the Do - Not - Call Improvement Act prohibits removing numbers from the do - not - call registry unless the number is invalid , disconnected , reassigned , or the individual to whom the number is assigned so requests . Results ( edit ) According to the 2009 Economic Report of the President , prepared by the Council of Economic Advisers , The program has proved quite popular : as of 2007 , according to one survey , 72 percent of Americans had registered on the list , and 77 percent of those say that it made a large difference in the number of telemarketing calls that they receive ( another 14 percent report a small reduction in calls ) .

In other words , this structure is found in some marine and freshwater gastropods , and in a minority of terrestrial gastropods , including the families Helicinidae , Cyclophoridae , Aciculidae , Maizaniidae , Pomatiidae , etc . The operculum is attached to the upper surface of the foot and in its most complete state , it serves as a sort of `` trapdoor '' to close the aperture of the shell when the soft parts of the animal are retracted . The shape of the operculum varies greatly from one family of gastropods to another . It is fairly often circular , or more or less oval in shape . In species where the operculum fits snugly , its outline corresponds exactly to the shape of the aperture of the shell and it serves to seal the entrance of the shell . Many families have opercula that are reduced in size , and which are not capable of closing the shell aperture . Opercula have sometimes been modified : in the Strombidae the operculum is claw - shaped and is used to push into the substrate in a leaping form of locomotion . Virtually all pulmonate snails are inoperculate , i.e. they do not have an operculum , with the exception of the Amphiboloidea . However , some terrestrial pulmonate species are capable of secreting an epiphragm , a temporary structure that can in some cases serve some of the same functions as an operculum . The epiphragm may be distinguished from the true operculum by its homogeneity and want of growth marks . In ammonites ( extinct shelled cephalopods ) , a calcareous structure known as the aptychus ( plural aptychi ) existed . When these were first described they were thought to be valves of a bivalve species , then for many years after that they were considered to be a form of paired or single operculum - like structures belonging to ammonites . More recently the aptychus or paired aptychi have been hypothesized to be a jaw apparatus of ammonites . Contents ( hide ) 1 Functions 2 Anatomy 3 Human uses 3.1 As incense material 3.2 As a gemstone or decorative object 3.3 As paperweights 4 References 5 External links Functions ( edit ) Perhaps the most essential function of the operculum in gastropods is to allow snails to resist drying out , or desiccation . This is very important in intertidal marine snails during low tide , and this also enables operculate freshwater and land snails to survive periods of drought and dry weather . In those marine species where the operculum completely seals the shell , it can also serve as a protection against predators when the snail body is retracted . Anatomy ( edit ) A photo of an individual of the freshwater snail species Bithynia tentaculata showing how the back of the shell rests on the round operculum on top of the foot as the snail moves along . In life , the operculum is attached at the ending of the columellar muscle with an opercular disc dorsally to the upper surface of the posterior part of the foot . However , in Buccinum a layer of long cylindrical epithelial cells , with mostly distinct nuclei , and long divided processes enter between the muscular fibres . The operculum , a cuticular development of these cells , is composed , as may be seen in the corneous opercula of Murex , Purpura , Triton , of very thin superimposed layers . The cylindrical cells are attached with their head to the lowermost layer . The operculum grows in size as the shell grows , such that the operculum remains in proportion to the apertural size . In many species , when the animal is active and crawling , part of the underside of the shell rests on the outer surface of the operculum . In many species of marine shelled snails which live subtidally , the operculum is greatly reduced in size , and no longer serves to seal the shell entrance . In a large number of families it has been eliminated completely . In species of conchs , the operculum is elongated and pentagram - shaped , and is used to dig into the sand to enable the conch to perform a leaping type of locomotion . Various forms of opercula in Pyrula ; Purpura ; Littorina ; Aulopoma ; Torinia ; Neritopsis ; Strombus ; Conus The structure of the operculum can be described as follows : concentric : the nucleus is central or subcentral as in Lithoglyphus and Ampullaria , and in other the nucleus is near the parietal margin of the shell . imbricated , or lamellar : when it grows only on one side , and the nucleus is marginal , as in Purpura , Xenophora , and Paludomus . claw - shaped , or unguiculate : with the nucleus apical or in front , as in Turbinella and Fusus ; it is claw - shaped and serrated in Strombus spiral : when it grows only on one edge , and revolves as it grows ; it is always sinistral in dextral shells . paucispiral or oligogyrous : with few spirals as in Littorina . subspiral or scarcely spiral , in Thiara multispiral or polygyrous : having many closely spaced spirals as in Trochus where they sometimes amount to twenty ; the number of turns which the operculum makes is not determined by the number of whorls in the shell , but by the curvature of the aperture , and the necessity that the operculum should revolve fast enough to fit it constantly . articulated , when it has a projection , as in Nerita radiated is a modification of the articulated operculum in which the spiral is not so evident as in Navicella Example of a concentric operculum ( Filopaludina martensi ) Example of a polygyrous spiral with eccentric nucleus in the operculum of Marstonia comalensis , scale bar : 200 μm Example of an oligogyrous spiral in Cremnoconchus syhadrensis Fossil spiral opercula ( both sides ) from the Pliocene of Cyprus In 1998 Checa and Jimeneze proposed three types of opercula : type 1 : flexiclaudent spiral ( mostly multispiral ) operculum ; its shape does not coincide with the aperture but fits by flexing into the aperture ; predominantly present in archaeogastropods . type 2 : rigiclaudent spiral ( usually paucispiral ) operculum ; its shape fitting the aperture ; present in archaeogastropods , but predominating in Caenogastropoda . type 3 : rigiclaudent concentric operculum ; its shape fitting the aperture ; predominant in higher neotaenioglossans and exclusive in neogastropods . There are two basic types of opercula in terms of their material composition : The most common kind of operculum is composed of a thin to rather thick corneous protein material , which is yellow to brownish in color and is usually somewhat translucent . This matter is supple when in its natural state but may become brittle when it is dried out . The operculum varies in shape , depending on the family of snails and the shape of the aperture of their shells . An individual of the land snail Tropidophora fimbriata haemostoma showing the calcareous operculum The other kind of operculum is restricted to a few families of gastropods including the Turbinidae . This operculum structure has a corneous base with a heavy calcareous overlay . The calcareous surface in some genera has color or ornamentation of various kinds including , for example , pustules and incised grooves . The different shapes of opercula can include ungulate ( hooflike ) , claw - like , or ovate . The type and shape of the operculum is used to help identify and classify related groups ( genera ) of land operculates , and likewise some marine operculates . Human uses ( edit ) The oldest known human depiction of an operculum together with the shell of Charonia tritonis is a seal made by the Minoan civilization . As incense material ( edit ) Opercula of certain gastropods , especially varieties from the Red Sea , have long served as an incense material in ancient Jewish tradition , as well as Arabian cultures . The operculum of conch species Strombus tricornis and Lambis truncata sebae are most commonly used in regions near the Middle East . Opercula from these conches may be the onycha incense material which is described in the Book of Exodus . Operculum powder is also an important ingredient in Chinese and Japanese incense making . Here it is called `` bèi xiāng '' ( Chinese : 貝香 ; lit . sea shell fragrance ) or `` kai kou '' ( Japanese : 甲香 , lit . shell / armour fragrance ) respectively . Incense producers in these countries use the operculum of many conches and other marine snails , including those found in Southeast Asia , South America , and East Africa . The opercula are traditionally treated with vinegar , alcohol and water in order to remove any fishy smell . The clean opercula are then ground to a powder and used as a scent fixative , in a technique similar to that used in perfumes with certain plant resins . When burnt on its own , high quality operculum reportedly smells of castoreum or other animal musks , while that of lower quality is reminiscent of burnt hair . As a gemstone or decorative object ( edit ) The operculum of certain species of Turbinidae is sometimes used as a very inexpensive organic `` gemstone '' in rings , bracelets , amulets etc . These opercula are commonly known as `` cats eye '' ( or more recently `` Shiva 's eye '' ) . The turban snail Turbo petholatus is the species whose operculum is most widely used , although the operculum of other species of Turbo are sometimes used . The operculum is almost always given a solid setting , because it has one unattractive flat and corneous side where it was attached to the animal , and one roughly hemispherical glossy side , which , in the case of T. petholatus has a dark green area . Opercula are often used in Northwest Coast art of North America , as detailing in masks , panels and paddles . These objects are used to represent the teeth in masks , and are used as a decorative element in many of the objects which play an important part in the art and culture of Northwest Coast peoples , including dishes for food , bentwood boxes , and rattles . Friedrich Ratzel in The History of Mankind reported in 1896 that , in Oceania , chains and girdles composed of the coloured opercula of certain shells were considered valuable ornaments . As paperweights ( edit ) The largest opercula of Turbo marmoratus have been used as paperweights .

-7233770914004164561	Component Object Model	Component object model - wikipedia Component object model This article needs additional citations for verification . Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( April 2008 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Component Object Model ( COM ) is a binary - interface standard for software components introduced by Microsoft in 1993 . It is used to enable inter-process communication object creation in a large range of programming languages . COM is the basis for several other Microsoft technologies and frameworks , including OLE , OLE Automation , Browser Helper Object , ActiveX , COM+ , DCOM , the Windows shell , DirectX , UMDF and Windows Runtime . The essence of COM is a language - neutral way of implementing objects that can be used in environments different from the one in which they were created , even across machine boundaries . For well - authored components , COM allows reuse of objects with no knowledge of their internal implementation , as it forces component implementers to provide well - defined interfaces that are separated from the implementation . The different allocation semantics of languages are accommodated by making objects responsible for their own creation and destruction through reference - counting . Type conversion casting between different interfaces of an object is achieved through the QueryInterface method . The preferred method of `` inheritance '' within COM is the creation of sub-objects to which method `` calls '' are delegated . COM is an interface technology defined and implemented as standard only on Microsoft Windows and Apple 's Core Foundation 1.3 and later plug - in application programming interface ( API ) . The latter only implements a subset of the whole COM interface . For some applications , COM has been replaced at least to some extent by the Microsoft . NET framework , and support for Web Services through the Windows Communication Foundation ( WCF ) . However , COM objects can be used with all . NET languages through . NET COM Interop . Networked DCOM uses binary proprietary formats , while WCF encourages the use of XML - based SOAP messaging . COM is very similar to other component software interface technologies , such as CORBA and Enterprise JavaBeans , although each has its own strengths and weaknesses . Unlike C++ , COM provides a stable application binary interface ( ABI ) that does not change between compiler releases . This makes COM interfaces attractive for object - oriented C++ libraries that are to be used by clients compiled using different compiler versions .

Antony Williams involved in the creation of the COM architecture , later distributed two internal papers in Microsoft that embraced the concept of software components : Object Architecture : Dealing With the Unknown -- or -- Type Safety in a Dynamically Extensible Class Library in 1988 and On Inheritance : What It Means and How To Use It in 1990 . These provided the foundation of many of the ideas behind COM . Object Linking and Embedding ( OLE ) , Microsoft 's first object - based framework , was built on top of DDE and designed specifically for compound documents . It was introduced with Word for Windows and Excel in 1991 , and was later included with Windows , starting with version 3.1 in 1992 . An example of a compound document is a spreadsheet embedded in a Word for Windows document : as changes are made to the spreadsheet within Excel , they appear automatically inside the Word document . In 1991 , Microsoft have introduced Visual Basic Extensions ( VBX ) with Visual Basic 1.0 . A VBX is a packaged extension in the form of a dynamic - link library ( DLL ) that allows objects to be graphically placed in a form and manipulated by properties and methods . These were later adapted for use by other languages such as Visual C++ . In 1992 , when version 3.1 of Windows was released , Microsoft released OLE 2 with its underlying object model . The COM Application binary interface ( ABI ) was the same as the MAPI ABI , which was released in 1992 . While OLE 1 was focused on compound documents , COM and OLE 2 were designed to address software components in general . Text conversations and Windows messages had proved not to be flexible enough to allow sharing application features in a robust and extensible way , so COM was created as a new foundation , and OLE changed to OLE2 . In 1994 OLE custom controls ( OCXs ) were introduced as the successor to VBX controls . At the same time , Microsoft stated that OLE 2 would just be known as `` OLE '' , and that OLE was no longer an acronym , but a name for all of the company 's component technologies . In early 1996 , Microsoft found a new use for OLE Custom Controls , expanding their Web browser 's capability to present content , renamed some parts of OLE relating to the Internet `` ActiveX '' , and gradually renamed all OLE technologies to ActiveX , except the compound document technology that was used in Microsoft Office . Later that year , DCOM was introduced as an answer to CORBA . Related technologies ( edit ) COM was the major software development platform for Windows and , as such , influenced development of a number of supporting technologies . COM+ and DCOM ( edit ) In order for Microsoft to provide developers with support for distributed transactions , resource pooling , disconnected applications , event publication and subscription , better memory and processor ( thread ) management , as well as to position Windows as an alternative to other enterprise - level operating systems , Microsoft introduced a technology called Microsoft Transaction Server ( MTS ) on Windows NT 4 . With Windows 2000 , that significant extension to COM was incorporated into the operating system ( as opposed to the series of external tools provided by MTS ) and renamed COM+ . At the same time , Microsoft de-emphasized DCOM as a separate entity . Components that made use of COM+ services were handled more directly by the added layer of COM+ , in particular by operating system support for interception . In the first release of MTS , interception was tacked on - installing an MTS component would modify the Windows Registry to call the MTS software , and not the component directly . Windows 2000 also revised the Component Services control panel application used to configure COM+ components . An advantage of COM+ was that it could be run in `` component farms '' . Instances of a component , if coded properly , could be pooled and reused by new calls to its initializing routine without unloading it from memory . Components could also be distributed ( called from another machine ) . COM+ and Microsoft Visual Studio provided tools to make it easy to generate client - side proxies , so although DCOM was used to make the remote call , it was easy to do for developers . COM+ also introduced a subscriber / publisher event mechanism called COM+ Events , and provided a new way of leveraging MSMQ ( inter-application asynchronous messaging ) with components called Queued Components . COM+ events extend the COM+ programming model to support late - bound ( see Late binding ) events or method calls between the publisher or subscriber and the event system . . NET ( edit ) Main article : . NET Framework Microsoft . NET provides means both to provide component technology , and to interact with COM+ ( via COM - interop - assemblies ) ; . NET provides wrappers to most of the commonly used COM controls . Microsoft . NET hides most detail from component creation and therefore eases development ... NET can leverage COM+ via the System. EnterpriseServices namespace , and several of the services that COM+ provides have been duplicated in recent releases of . NET . For example , the System. Transactions namespace in . NET provides the TransactionScope class , which provides transaction management without resorting to COM+ . Similarly , queued components can be replaced by Windows Communication Foundation with an MSMQ transport . ( MSMQ is a native COM component , however . ) There is limited support for backward compatibility . A COM object may be used in . NET by implementing a Runtime Callable Wrapper ( RCW ) . NET objects that conform to certain interface restrictions may be used in COM objects by calling a COM callable wrapper ( CCW ) . From both the COM and . NET sides , objects using the other technology appear as native objects . See COM Interop . WCF ( Windows Communication Foundation ) eases a number of COM 's remote execution challenges . For instance , it allows objects to be transparently marshalled by value across process or machine boundaries more easily . Windows runtime ( edit ) Main article : Windows Runtime Microsoft 's new Windows Runtime ( or WinRT , not to be confused with Windows RT ) programming and application model is essentially a COM - based API , although it relies on an enhanced COM . Because of its COM - like basis , Windows Runtime allows relatively easy interfacing from multiple languages , just as COM does , but it is essentially an unmanaged , native API . The API definitions are , however , stored in ``. winmd '' files , which are encoded in ECMA 335 metadata format , the same CLI metadata format that . NET uses with a few modifications . This common metadata format allows for significantly less overhead than P / Invoke when WinRT is invoked from . NET applications , and its syntax is much simpler . Security ( edit ) COM and ActiveX components are run as native code on the user 's machine , with no sandboxing . There are therefore few restrictions on what the code can do . The prior practice of embedding ActiveX components on web pages with Internet Explorer did therefore lead to problems with malware infections . Microsoft recognized the problem with ActiveX as far back as 1996 when Charles Fitzgerald said , `` We never made the claim up front that ActiveX is intrinsically secure '' . Recent versions of Internet Explorer prompt the user before installing ActiveX controls , enabling the user to disallow installation of controls from sites that the user does not trust . The ActiveX controls are signed with digital signatures to guarantee their authenticity . It is also possible to disable ActiveX controls altogether , or to allow only a selected few . The transparent support for out - of - process COM servers still promotes software safety in terms of process isolation . This can be useful for decoupling subsystems of large application into separate processes . Process isolation limits state corruption in one process from negatively affecting the integrity of the other processes , since they only communicate through strictly defined interfaces . Thus , only the affected subsystem needs to be restarted in order to regain valid state . This is not the case for subsystems within the same process , where a rogue pointer in one subsystem can randomly corrupt other subsystems . Technical details ( edit ) COM programmers build their software using COM - aware components . Different component types are identified by class IDs ( CLSIDs ) , which are Globally Unique Identifiers ( GUIDs ) . Each COM component exposes its functionality through one or more interfaces . The different interfaces supported by a component are distinguished from each other using interface IDs ( IIDs ) , which are GUIDs too . COM interfaces have bindings in several languages , such as C , C++ , Visual Basic , Delphi , Python and several of the scripting languages implemented on the Windows platform . All access to components is done through the methods of the interfaces . This allows techniques such as inter-process , or even inter-computer programming ( the latter using the support of DCOM ) . Interfaces ( edit ) All COM components implement the IUnknown ( custom ) interface , which exposes methods for reference counting and type conversion ( casting ) . A custom IUnknown interface consists of a pointer to a virtual method table that contains a list of pointers to the functions that implement the functions declared in the interface , in the same order that they are declared in the interface . The in - process invocation overhead is therefore comparable to virtual method calls in C++ . In addition to custom interfaces , COM also supports dispatch interfaces inheriting from IDispatch . Dispatch interfaces support late binding for OLE Automation . This allows dispatch interfaces to be natively accessed from a wider range of programming languages than custom interfaces . Classes ( edit ) A COM class ( `` coclass '' ) is a concrete implementation of one or more interfaces , and closely resembles classes in object - oriented programming languages . Classes are created based on their class ID ( CLSID ) or based on their programmatic identifier string ( progid ) . Like many object - oriented languages , COM provides a separation of interface from implementation . This distinction is especially strong in COM , where objects can not be accessed directly , but only through their interfaces . COM also has support for multiple implementations of the same interface , so that clients at runtime can choose which implementation of an interface to instantiate . Interface definition language and type libraries ( edit ) Type libraries contain metadata to represent COM types . These types are described using Microsoft Interface Definition Language ( MSIDL / IDL ) . IDL files define object - oriented classes , interfaces , structures , enumerations and other user - defined types in a language independent manner . IDL is similar in appearance to C++ declarations with some additional keywords such as `` interface '' and `` library '' for defining interfaces and collections of classes . IDL also supports the use of bracketed attributes before declarations to provide additional information , such as interface GUIDs and the relationships between pointer parameters and length fields . IDL files are compiled by the MIDL compiler . For C / C++ , the MIDL compiler generates a compiler - independent header file containing struct definitions to match the vtbls of the declared interfaces and a C file containing declarations of the interface GUIDs . C++ source code for a proxy module can also be generated by the MIDL compiler . This proxy contains method stubs for converting COM calls into remote procedure calls to enable DCOM for out - of - process communication . IDL files can also be compiled by the MIDL compiler into a type library ( TLB ) . TLB files contain binary metadata that can be processed by different language compilers and runtime environments ( e.g. VB , Delphi , . NET etc . ) to generate language - specific constructs to represent the COM types defined in the TLB . For C++ , this will convert the TLB back to its IDL representation . COM as an object framework ( edit ) Because COM is a runtime framework , types have to be individually identifiable and specifiable at runtime . To achieve this , globally unique identifiers ( GUIDs ) are used . Each COM type is designated its own GUID for identification at runtime . In order for information on COM types to be accessible at both compile time and runtime , COM uses type libraries . It is through the effective use of type libraries that COM achieves its capabilities as a dynamic framework for the interaction of objects . Consider the following example coclass definition in an IDL : coclass SomeClass ( ( default ) interface ISomeInterface ; ) ; The above code fragment declares a COM class named SomeClass which implements an interface named ISomeInterface . This is conceptually equivalent to defining the following C++ class : class SomeClass : public ISomeInterface ( ... ) ; where ISomeInterface is a C++ pure virtual class . The IDL files containing COM interfaces and classes are compiled into type libraries ( TLB ) files , which can later be parsed by clients at runtime to determine which interfaces an object supports , and invoke an object 's interface methods . In C++ , COM objects are instantiated with the CoCreateInstance function that takes the class ID ( CLSID ) and interface ID ( IID ) as arguments . Instantiation of SomeClass can be implemented as follows : ISomeInterface * interface_ptr = NULL ; HRESULT hr = CoCreateInstance ( CLSID_SomeClass , NULL , CLSCTX_ALL , IID_ISomeInterface , ( void * * ) &interface_ptr ) ; In this example , the COM sub-system is used to obtain a pointer to an object that implements ISomeInterface interface , and coclass CLSID_SomeClass 's particular implementation of this interface is required . Reference counting ( edit ) All COM objects utilize reference counting to manage object lifetimes . The reference counts are controlled by the clients through the AddRef and Release methods in the mandatory IUnknown interface that all COM objects implement . COM objects are then responsible for freeing their own memory when the reference count drops to zero . Certain languages ( e.g. Visual Basic ) provide automatic reference counting so that COM object developers need not explicitly maintain any internal reference counter in their source codes . In C++ , a coder may either perform explicit reference counting or use smart pointers to automatically manage the reference counts . The following are guidelines for when to call AddRef and Release on COM objects : Functions and methods that return interface references ( via return value or via `` out '' parameter ) shall increment the reference count of the returned object before returning . Release must be called on an interface pointer before the pointer is overwritten or goes out of scope . If a copy is made on an interface reference pointer , AddRef should be called on that pointer . AddRef and Release must be called on the specific interface which is being referenced since an object may implement per - interface reference counts in order to allocate internal resources only for the interfaces which are being referenced . Not all reference count calls are sent to remote objects over the wire ; a proxy keeps only one reference on the remote object and maintains its own local reference count . To simplify COM development , Microsoft introduced ATL ( Active Template Library ) for C++ developers . ATL provides for a higher - level COM development paradigm . It also shields COM client application developers from the need to directly maintain reference counting , by providing smart pointer objects . Other libraries and languages that are COM - aware include the Microsoft Foundation Classes , the VC Compiler COM Support , VBScript , Visual Basic , ECMAScript ( JavaScript ) and Borland Delphi . Programming ( edit ) COM is a language agnostic binary standard that can be developed in any programming language capable of understanding and implementing its binary defined data types and interfaces . COM implementations are responsible for entering and leaving the COM environment , instantiating and reference - counting COM objects , querying objects for supported interfaces , as well as handling errors . The Microsoft Visual C++ compiler supports extensions to the C++ language referred to as C++ Attributes . These extensions are designed to simplify COM development and remove much of the plumbing code required to implement COM servers in C++ . Registry usage ( edit ) In Windows , COM classes , interfaces and type libraries are listed by GUIDs in the registry , under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ CLSID for classes and HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ Interface for interfaces . COM libraries use the registry to locate either the correct local libraries for each COM object or the network location for a remote service . Registration - free COM ( edit ) Registration - Free COM ( RegFree COM ) is a technology introduced with Windows XP that allows Component Object Model ( COM ) components to store activation metadata and CLSID ( Class ID ) for the component without using the registry . Instead , the metadata and CLSIDs of the classes implemented in the component are declared in an assembly manifest ( described using XML ) , stored either as a resource in the executable or as a separate file installed with the component . This allows multiple versions of the same component to be installed in different directories , described by their own manifests , as well as XCOPY deployment . This technique has limited support for EXE COM servers and can not be used for system - wide components such as MDAC , MSXML , DirectX or Internet Explorer . During application loading , the Windows loader searches for the manifest . If it is present , the loader adds information from it to the activation context . When the COM class factory tries to instantiate a class , the activation context is first checked to see if an implementation for the CLSID can be found . Only if the lookup fails is the registry scanned . Manually instantiating COM objects ( edit ) COM objects can also be created manually , given the path of the DLL file and GUID of the object . This does not require the DLL or GUID to be registered in the system registry , and does not make use of manifest files . A COM DLL exports a function named DllGetClassObject . Calling DllGetClassObject with the desired GUID and IID_IClassFactory provides an instance of a factory object . The Factory object has a CreateInstance method , which can create instances of an object given an interface GUID . This is the same process internally used when creating instances of registered COM components . If the created COM object instantiates another COM object using the generic CoCreateInstance API , it will try to do so in the usual generic way , using the registry or manifest files . But it can create internal objects ( which may not be registered at all ) , and hand out references to interfaces to them , using its own private knowledge . Process and network transparency ( edit ) COM objects can be transparently instantiated and referenced from within the same process ( in - process ) , across process boundaries ( out - of - process ) , or remotely over the network ( DCOM ) . Out - of - process and remote objects use marshalling to serialize method calls and return values over process or network boundaries . This marshalling is invisible to the client , which accesses the object as if it were a local in - process object . Threading ( edit ) In COM , threading is addressed through a concept known as apartments . An individual COM object lives in exactly one apartment , which might either be single - threaded or multi-threaded . There are three types of apartments in COM : Single - Threaded Apartment ( STA ) , Multi-Threaded Apartment ( MTA ) , and Thread Neutral Apartment ( NA ) . Each apartment represents one mechanism whereby an object 's internal state may be synchronized across multiple threads . A process can consist of multiple COM objects , some of which may use STA and others of which may use MTA . All threads accessing COM objects similarly live in one apartment . The choice of apartment for COM objects and threads are determined at run - time , and can not be changed . Apartment type Description Single - Threaded Apartment ( STA ) , ( ThreadingModel = Apartment ) A single thread is dedicated to execute the methods of the object . In such an arrangement , method calls from threads outside of the apartment are marshalled and automatically queued by the system ( via a standard Windows message queue ) . Thus , the COM run - time provides automatic synchronization to ensure that each method call of an object is always executed to completion before another is invoked . The developer therefore does not need to worry about thread locking or race conditions . Multi-Threaded Apartment ( MTA ) , ( ThreadingModel = Free ) The COM run - time provides no synchronization , and multiple threads are allowed to call COM objects simultaneously . COM objects therefore need to perform their own synchronization to prevent simultaneous access from multiple threads from causing a race condition . Calls to an MTA object from a thread in an STA are also marshalled . Dynamically determined apartment ( ThreadingModel = Both ) In the Both apartment mode , the server auto - selects STA or MTA at object creation to match the apartment type of the calling thread . This can be useful to avoid marshaling overhead when MTA servers are accessed by a STA thread . Thread Neutral Apartment ( NA ) , ( ThreadingModel = Neutral ) A special apartment without any assigned threads . When a STA or MTA thread calls a NA object in the same process , then the calling thread temporarily leaves its apartment and executes code directly in the NA without any thread switching . Therefore , one can think of NA as an optimization for efficient interapartment method calls . Threads and objects which belong to the same apartment follow the same thread access rules . Method calls which are made inside the same apartment are therefore performed directly without any assistance from COM . Method calls made across apartments are achieved via marshalling . This requires the use of proxies and stubs . Criticisms ( edit ) Since COM has a fairly complex implementation , programmers can be distracted by some of the `` plumbing '' issues . Message pumping ( edit ) When an STA is initialized it creates a hidden window that is used for inter-apartment and inter-process message routing . This window must have its message queue regularly `` pumped '' . This construct is known as a `` message pump '' . On earlier versions of Windows , failure to do so could cause system - wide deadlocks . This problem is complicated by some Windows APIs that initialize COM as part of their implementation , which causes a `` leak '' of implementation details . Reference counting ( edit ) Reference counting within COM may cause problems if two or more objects are circularly referenced . The design of an application must take this into account so that objects are not left orphaned . Objects may also be left with active reference counts if the COM `` event sink '' model is used . Since the object that fires the event needs a reference to the object reacting to the event , the latter 's reference count will never reach zero . Reference cycles are typically broken using either out - of - band termination or split identities . In the out - of - band termination technique , an object exposes a method which , when called , forces it to drop its references to other objects , thereby breaking the cycle . In the split identity technique , a single implementation exposes two separate COM objects ( also known as identities ) . This creates a weak reference between the COM objects , preventing a reference cycle . DLL Hell ( edit ) Because in - process COM components are implemented in DLL files and registration only allows for a single version per CLSID they might in some situations be subject to the `` DLL Hell '' effect . Registration - free COM capability attempts to work around this problem .

About Wikipedia	what is component object model in c#	[ "Component Object Model (COM) is a binary-interface standard for software components introduced by Microsoft in 1993. It is used to enable inter-process communication object creation in a large range of programming languages. COM is the basis for several other Microsoft technologies and frameworks, including OLE, OLE Automation, Browser Helper Object, ActiveX, COM+, DCOM, the Windows shell, DirectX, UMDF and Windows Runtime. The essence of COM is a language-neutral way of implementing objects that can be used in environments different from the one in which they were created, even across machine boundaries. For well-authored components, COM allows reuse of objects with no knowledge of their internal implementation, as it forces component implementers to provide well-defined interfaces that are separated from the implementation. The different allocation semantics of languages are accommodated by making objects responsible for their own creation and destruction through reference-counting. Type conversion casting between different interfaces of an object is achieved through the QueryInterface method. The preferred method of \"inheritance\" within COM is the creation of sub-objects to which method \"calls\" are delegated." ]	[ "a binary-interface standard for software components introduced by Microsoft in 1993" ]

It is the sequel to 2011 's Thor and 2013 's Thor : The Dark World , and is the seventeenth film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe ( MCU ) . The film is directed by Taika Waititi from a screenplay by Eric Pearson and the writing team of Craig Kyle and Christopher Yost , and stars Chris Hemsworth as Thor alongside Tom Hiddleston , Cate Blanchett , Idris Elba , Jeff Goldblum , Tessa Thompson , Karl Urban , Mark Ruffalo , and Anthony Hopkins . In Thor : Ragnarok , Thor must escape the alien planet Sakaar in time to save Asgard from Hela and the impending Ragnarök . A third Thor film was confirmed in January 2014 , with Kyle and Yost beginning work on the screenplay . The involvement of Hemsworth and Hiddleston was announced that October . Waititi joined the film as director a year later , after The Dark World director Alan Taylor chose not to return . Ruffalo joined the cast reprising the role of Hulk from previous MCU films , which allowed elements of the 2006 comic storyline `` Planet Hulk '' to be adapted for Ragnarok . The rest of the cast , including Blanchett as Hela , was confirmed in May 2016 , with Pearson 's involvement revealed at the start of filming that July . Principal photography took place in Brisbane and Sydney , Australia , with the film also having exclusive use of Village Roadshow Studios in Oxenford , concluding in October 2016 . Thor : Ragnarok premiered in Los Angeles on October 10 , 2017 , and was released in the United States on November 3 , in 3D , IMAX , and IMAX 3D . The film received highly positive reviews , with many critics declaring it the best of the Thor trilogy and praising Waititi 's direction , the cast 's performances , action sequences , soundtrack , and humor . It grossed $854 million , becoming the highest - grossing film of the trilogy and the ninth highest - grossing film of 2017 .

Surtur reveals that Thor 's father Odin is no longer on Asgard , and that the realm will soon be destroyed in the prophesied Ragnarök , once Surtur unites his crown with the Eternal Flame that burns in Odin 's vault . Thor defeats Surtur and claims his crown , believing he has prevented Ragnarök . Thor returns to Asgard to find his brother Loki posing as Odin . Thor forces Loki to help him find their father , and with directions from Stephen Strange on Earth , they locate Odin in Norway . Odin explains that he is dying , and that his passing will allow his firstborn child , Hela , to escape from a prison she was sealed in long ago . Hela had been the leader of Asgard 's armies , and had conquered the Nine Realms with Odin , but she had been imprisoned and written out of history after Odin feared that she had become too ambitious . Odin subsequently dies , and Hela , released from her imprisonment , appears . She destroys Thor 's hammer Mjolnir , and when Thor and Loki attempt to flee through the Bifröst Bridge , she pursues them and forces them out into space to die . Hela arrives in Asgard , destroying its army and killing the Warriors Three . She then resurrects the ancient dead who once fought with her , including her giant wolf Fenris and appoints the Asgardian Skurge as her executioner . Hela plans to use the Bifröst to expand Asgard 's empire , but Heimdall covertly steals the sword that controls the Bridge , and hides away with the rest of Asgard 's citizens . Thor crash - lands on Sakaar , a garbage planet surrounded by wormholes . A slave trader designated Scrapper 142 subdues him with an obedience disk and sells him as a gladiator to Sakaar 's ruler , the Grandmaster , with whom Loki has already become ingratiated . Thor recognizes 142 as one of the Valkyrior , a legendary force of female warriors who were killed defending Asgard from Hela long ago . Thor is forced to compete in the Grandmaster 's Contest of Champions , facing his old friend Hulk . Summoning lightning , Thor gets the upper hand on Hulk , but the Grandmaster sabotages the fight to ensure Hulk 's victory . Still enslaved , Thor attempts to convince Hulk and 142 to help him save Asgard , but neither is willing . He soon manages to escape the palace and finds the Quinjet that brought Hulk to Sakaar . Hulk follows Thor to the Quinjet , where a recording of Natasha Romanoff makes him transform back into Bruce Banner for the first time since Sokovia . The Grandmaster orders 142 and Loki to find Thor and Hulk , but the pair come to blows and Loki forces her to relive the deaths of her fellow Valkyrior at the hands of Hela . Deciding to help Thor , she takes Loki captive to prove her goodwill . Unwilling to be left behind , Loki provides the group with the means to steal one of the Grandmaster 's ships . They then liberate the other gladiators who , led by Korg and Miek , stage a revolution . Loki attempts to again betray his brother to gain a reward from the Grandmaster , but Thor anticipates this and leaves him behind , where Korg and the gladiators soon find him . Thor , Banner , and 142 escape through a wormhole to Asgard , where Hela 's forces are attacking Heimdall and Asgard 's citizens for the sword that controls the Bifröst . Banner becomes Hulk again , defeating Fenris , while Thor and 142 battle Skurge and the resurrected warriors . Loki and the gladiators arrive to help , and the citizens board their ship ; a repentant Skurge sacrifices himself to allow their escape . Thor , facing Hela , loses his right eye and then has a vision of Odin that helps him realize only Ragnarök can stop her . While Hela is distracted , Loki locates Surtur 's crown and places it in the Eternal Flame . Surtur is reborn and destroys Asgard , seemingly killing Hela . Thor and the others escape with Asgard 's remaining citizens aboard the Grandmaster 's vessel . Thor , now king , decides to take his people to Earth . In a mid-credits scene , they are intercepted by a large spacecraft . In a post-credits scene , the Grandmaster encounters a group of his former subjects , who are still rebelling . Cast ( edit ) Kevin Feige , Taika Waititi and the cast of Thor : Ragnarok at the 2017 San Diego Comic - Con Chris Hemsworth as Thor : The crown prince of Asgard based on the Norse mythological deity of the same name , who has become a `` lone gunslinger '' searching for the Infinity Stones . Hemsworth had become `` a bit bored '' with the character after portraying Thor four times previously , and wanted to take some risks and experiment : the character has shorter hair in the film , wears a different outfit , his hammer Mjolnir is destroyed , and he loses an eye . Director Taika Waititi added that `` stripping '' the character down like this allowed him to become a refugee at the end of the film . Waititi also wanted to use more of Hemsworth 's comedic talents showcased in films like Vacation ( 2015 ) and Ghostbusters ( 2016 ) , and cited Kurt Russell 's portrayal of Jack Burton from Big Trouble in Little China ( 1986 ) as an influence on the character . Tom Hiddleston as Loki : Thor 's adoptive brother and nemesis based on the deity of the same name . Hiddleston was interested in how Loki 's attitude has changed , saying , `` he is always a trickster . It is trying to find new ways for him to be mischievous '' . As the ruler of Asgard since the end of Thor : The Dark World ( 2013 ) , Hiddleston notes that `` Loki has devoted most of his efforts to narcissistic self - glorification . Not so much on good governance . '' He also added that `` the idea that Thor might be indifferent to Loki is troubling for him ... it 's an interesting development . '' Cate Blanchett as Hela : Thor 's older sister and the goddess of death , based on the deity Hel , who is inadvertently released from prison . Screenwriter Eric Pearson included the idea of Hela being Thor 's sister in one of his drafts at the encouragement of executive producer Brad Winderbaum . The decision to make Hela related to Thor , as opposed to Loki as in the comics and Norse mythology , came from needing more impact with Hela and Thor 's final confrontation . By making the change , Pearson felt Hela became `` the thing that ( represents ) what it is to rule Asgard , ( Thor 's ) family , what he 's been told , what he has n't been told . '' Blanchett found it difficult to portray the character in a motion capture suit rather than costume , feeling Hela 's headdress is `` such a huge part of '' the power of the character that she would have liked to wear it on set . Hela 's design was taken from the comic Thor : God of Thunder by Jason Aaron , while the character Gorr from that comic , who has the ability `` to manifest an infinite number of weapons '' , inspired a similar ability for Hela . Blanchett worked with stuntwoman Zoë Bell and Hemsworth 's personal trainer Luke Zocchi , and studied capoeira for the role . Idris Elba as Heimdall : The all - seeing , all - hearing Asgardian former sentry of the Bifröst Bridge , based on the deity of the same name , who has gone into self - imposed exile during Loki 's reign . After Hela invades Asgard , he helps to hide its vulnerable citizens . Describing Heimdall 's character arc in the film , Winderbaum says , `` he 's gone from this elder statesmen , the gatekeeper to Asgard , to this badass warrior - wizard character who lives in the hills and kicks a lot of ass throughout the entire film . '' Jeff Goldblum as Grandmaster : One of the Elders of the Universe , who rules the planet Sakaar , and enjoys manipulating lesser life - forms . Goldblum described the character as `` a hedonist , a pleasure - seeker , an enjoyer of life and tastes and smells '' . He also said that Waititi encouraged improvisation in order for Goldblum to `` make ( the character his ) own '' . Waititi explained that Grandmaster does not have blue skin in the film as the character does in the comics , because Goldblum had already played a blue - colored character in Earth Girls Are Easy ( 1988 ) , and because Waititi did not want to detract from Goldblum 's personality by concealing his appearance . Grandmaster is the brother of Benicio del Toro 's Collector from Guardians of the Galaxy ( 2014 ) , and producer Kevin Feige expressed interest in seeing the two together in a future film . Tessa Thompson as Scrapper 142 / Valkyrie : A tough , hard - drinking Asgardian slave trader , based on the mythological being Brynhildr , who was once a legendary warrior of the Valkyrior and now works for the Grandmaster under the designation `` Scrapper 142 '' . Thompson said the various versions of the character from the comics `` left us a lot of leeway '' in creating the film version . Waititi `` wanted to make sure we were n't making a female character that was boring and pretty '' , and Feige said Marvel wanted to pair Thor with a love interest more his equal than Jane Foster . Co-screenwriters Craig Kyle and Christopher Yost 's original draft of the film had more of a romantic relationship between Thor and Valkyrie . When Pearson started working on the film , he moved away from that storyline , instead focusing more on `` the mutual respect '' between the characters and Valkyrie `` dealing with her PTSD . She 's someone who 's drowning her sorrows in the bottle , and I just thought that was such a cool thing that you do n't often see '' . Thompson stated that the character is bisexual , which she based on the character 's comic book relationship with Annabelle Riggs , and convinced Waititi to shoot a glimpse of a woman walking out of Valkyrie 's bedroom which was later cut from the film as Waititi thought that it distracted from the scene 's exposition . Thompson was inspired by pictures of Linda Hamilton as Sarah Connor in Terminator 2 : Judgment Day ( 1991 ) while training for the role , and worked with dialect coach Andrew Jack to create an Asgardian - sounding accent that was different enough to sound like she had been away from there for a long time . Thompson will appear in future MCU films . Karl Urban as Skurge : An Asgardian warrior , who guards the Bifröst Bridge in Heimdall 's absence and chooses to join Hela to survive . Urban shaved his head for the role , and worked out to `` get into the zone and feel '' the part even though his body is hidden under a costume . Urban said Skurge `` makes a deal with the devil '' and becomes Hela 's `` henchman . He does the dirty jobs . And that sort of is something he has to -- it plays on his conscience . '' Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner / Hulk : A genius scientist who transforms into a monster when enraged or agitated , after being exposed to gamma radiation . In the two years since Avengers : Age of Ultron ( 2015 ) , he has become a successful and popular gladiator on Sakaar , and has suppressed the Banner side in those years . He is forming the vocabulary `` of a toddler '' , with the level of Hulk 's speech being `` a big conversation '' between Waititi and Marvel since it was taking into account future appearances for the character : Ragnarok begins an arc for the character that continues in Avengers : Infinity War ( 2018 ) and its untitled sequel ( 2019 ) . Ruffalo felt Hulk had `` a swagger '' in the film , and was `` much more of a character than the green rage machine '' seen in the Avengers films . Waititi provided additional motion capture for the Hulk after Ruffalo had completed his scenes . Anthony Hopkins as Odin : The king of Asgard , father of Thor and Hela , and adoptive father of Loki , based on the deity of the same name . The character is in exile on Earth , and was originally intended to be a `` crazy - looking '' hobo on the streets of New York City , but Waititi ultimately felt that this was tragic rather than funny given the character 's death during the sequence . The sequence was changed to take place in Norway , to `` honor '' the character 's past and be more authentic to his role as a king of Asgard . Waititi was surprised by the improvisational ability of Hopkins after he was told `` to be funny and to really destroy what 's come before ( with the role ) and recreate it . '' Additionally , Tadanobu Asano , Ray Stevenson , and Zachary Levi reprise their roles as Hogun , Volstagg , and Fandral , respectively , members of the Warriors Three . Feige called their appearances `` noble ends '' that served to establish the threat of Hela and the danger she poses to the main characters . Benedict Cumberbatch reprises his role as Dr. Stephen Strange from the film Doctor Strange ( 2016 ) . Rachel House , who has appeared in several of Waititi 's films , plays Topaz , the Grandmaster 's bodyguard , while Waititi portrays Korg , a gladiator who befriends Thor . Waititi provided a motion - capture performance for the character , who is made of rocks , and wanted to do something different by having the character be soft - spoken , ultimately basing Korg 's voice on that of Polynesian bouncers . Waititi also provided the motion - capture performance for the fire demon Surtur , based on the mythological being Surtr , with Clancy Brown voicing the character . Thor and Hulk co-creator Stan Lee makes a cameo appearance as a man on Sakaar who cuts Thor 's hair . There are also several cameos in a sequence where Asgardian actors perform a play based on the events of The Dark World : Sam Neill , with whom Waititi previously worked on Hunt for the Wilderpeople ( 2016 ) , plays the Odin actor ; Luke Hemsworth , brother of Chris , plays the Thor actor ; and Matt Damon plays the Loki actor . Production ( edit ) Development ( edit ) While promoting the release of Thor : The Dark World in October 2013 , Chris Hemsworth expressed willingness to portraying Thor for as long as `` people wanted more '' , adding that he was contracted for another Thor film and two more Avengers films . Producer Kevin Feige stated that the next Thor would build from elements at the end of The Dark World . In January 2014 , Marvel announced that Craig Kyle and Christopher Yost would write the screenplay for a third film , with Feige again producing ; the story was being outlined that July . At the end of October 2014 , Feige announced that the film would be titled Thor : Ragnarok , with a scheduled release date of July 28 , 2017 . Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston were set to return as Thor and Loki , respectively . Feige added that the film would be `` very important '' in Phase Three of the Marvel Cinematic Universe ( MCU ) , and also confirmed that , in the context of the film , the word Ragnarok means `` the end of all things '' . He felt that `` people will ( not ) read into that title alone what the movie 's going to be . '' In February 2015 , Marvel pushed back the release date to November 3 , 2017 . That April , Feige was expecting a draft for the film soon , and a month later he stated that a director , additional screenwriter , and further casting announcements would be revealed `` towards the end of the summer '' , with filming set for June 2016 . The Dark World director Alan Taylor explained that he would not be returning , as `` the Marvel experience was particularly wrenching because I was sort of given absolute freedom while we were shooting , and then in ( post-production ) it turned into a different movie . So , that is something I hope never to repeat and do n't wish upon anybody else . '' During the 2015 San Diego Comic - Con International , Jaimie Alexander said that she would reprise her role as Sif in `` a very pivotal part '' of the film . I think the overall sense that I 'm trying to give to the audience and what I want the audience to leave the cinema carrying with them is a sense of joy really ... Sometimes I would stop and think , I 'm doing a movie that 's got Thor and Doctor Strange and The Incredible Hulk and Loki and every character is so strange and different ... Civil War it 's just humans , humans with human problems . Ours is creatures and beings and all these sorts of really different characters . -- Taika Waititi , director of Thor : Ragnarok By October 2015 , Taika Waititi entered negotiations to direct Thor : Ragnarok . Other directors under consideration included Ruben Fleischer , Rob Letterman , and Rawson Marshall Thurber . Marvel presented the prospective directors with `` the ten different ideas that we had for the movie '' , asking them all to come back with a clearer picture of what the film should be . Waititi created `` a sizzle reel for the tone , and some joke stuff '' using clips from other films , including Big Trouble in Little China , and scored it with Led Zeppelin 's `` Immigrant Song '' . This is a practice that Marvel discourages because it `` oftentimes can be really terrible '' , but they thought Waititi 's reel was `` amazing '' , particularly its use of that song which Feige felt `` defined what Taika was going to do with this '' ; `` Immigrant Song '' was later used in the film itself , and for marketing it . On why he decided to pursue directing the film , after stating in 2012 that he had no interest in `` big features , where the art of the project was sacrificed for profit '' , Waititi said he felt `` like a guest in Marvel 's universe but with the creative freedom to do what I want '' . Waititi was confirmed as director of the film by multiple news outlets later in October . Mark Ruffalo was also finalizing a deal that month , to reprise his role as Bruce Banner / Hulk from previous MCU films ; he soon confirmed that he would appear . Hulk was last seen at the end of Avengers : Age of Ultron traveling in a Quinjet , which was originally planned to be shown flying near Saturn . Feige explained that this was changed to an Earth - based location to leave Hulk 's fate ambiguous and dispel rumors that a film based on `` Planet Hulk '' was in development , since Marvel Studios had no plans to adapt the storyline at the time . According to executive producer Brad Winderbaum , the idea to include Hulk in Ragnarok came early on in development , when the production team looked at the `` Planet Hulk '' storyline and felt it was a `` no brainer '' to integrate Hulk into the Thor franchise and explore `` the idea of a planet where there 's gladiatorial games as a Thor predicament . ( That storyline ) was a really cool idea to us . '' Feige further explained that initial discussions had focused on doing `` something totally different with Thor '' , and that centered on continuing the relationship with Loki and ideas for Hela , Valkyrie , Balder , and Beta Ray Bill , `` but we were like , ' We need something big . ' '' This turned to discussing Thor going to space , and jokingly calling it `` Planet Thor '' , which led to including Hulk in the film and revealing that he ultimately went to space at the end of Age of Ultron . Also in October , Australia 's Minister for Foreign Affairs Julie Bishop announced that filming would take place in the country , exclusively throughout the state of Queensland , including at Village Roadshow Studios in Oxenford , Gold Coast . According to Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk , the production was to spend over $ 100 million in Queensland and employ 750 Queenslanders . Hemsworth had asked Marvel to produce the film in Australia , where he lives . At the end of November 2015 , Stellan Skarsgård , who portrayed Erik Selvig in the previous Thor films , said that he was contracted to appear should Marvel want to include him , but he was uncertain at the time if they did . He later confirmed that he would not appear in Thor : Ragnarok . The next month , Stephany Folsom was hired to work on the script , and Cate Blanchett entered final negotiations to join the cast . Pre-production ( edit ) Waititi at the 2017 San Diego Comic - Con In January 2016 , with the film beginning pre-production , Ruffalo described it as a `` road movie '' and indicated that additional filming would take place in Sydney . Waititi stated that he was working on the script `` a little bit '' , mainly adding humor to the screenplay , with Eric Pearson joining the project to rewrite the screenplay . Pearson felt joining presented many challenges , as `` there were so many puzzle pieces already there , '' such as having Blanchett as Hela , who was confirmed in the role a month later , and including Hulk , Valkyrie , and Skurge , that he was asked to assemble . Pearson was told not to be restrained by anything from the previous films , and Waititi asked him to make the film fun and have Thor `` be the coolest character . '' Alexander said in early March that she was no longer sure if she would appear in the film , due to scheduling conflicts with her television series Blindspot . She later indicated that this may not be the case , but ultimately was unable to appear in the film due to the conflict . In April , Tessa Thompson was cast as Valkyrie , with Natalie Portman not returning from the previous films as love interest Jane Foster . Marvel never asked the screenwriters to include the Earth - based characters from the previous films , and Feige said that Foster and Thor have broken up between films . In May , Marvel confirmed Blanchett and Thompson for the film , announced the casting of Jeff Goldblum as Grandmaster and Karl Urban as Skurge , and revealed that Idris Elba and Anthony Hopkins would reprise their respective roles of Heimdall and Odin from the previous films . In early June , Palaszczuk and Marvel Studios executive David Grant announced that filming would begin on July 4 , 2016 , with Weta Workshop creating props for the film . Before the sets for Marvel 's Doctor Strange were demolished , Waititi wrote and filmed a scene for Ragnarok where Thor meets Benedict Cumberbatch 's Stephen Strange . Marvel and Doctor Strange director Scott Derrickson felt the scene was `` kind of perfect '' to show Strange joining the wider MCU , so the scene also appears during the credits of Doctor Strange . Feige noted that Thor : Ragnarok would primarily take place in the `` cosmos '' rather than on Earth , a departure from the previous Thor films . He expanded by saying , `` Tonally and geographically there are a lot of different planets outside of the nine realms that we visit '' in the film . Waititi consulted with theoretical physicist Clifford Johnson on space travel . Johnson viewed early drafts of the script , and gave Waititi physics ideas that could `` wink at some of the classic old ( Thor ) stuff '' ; Johnson previously consulted on the second season of the MCU television series Agent Carter . Comic artist and Thor co-creator Jack Kirby was one of Waititi 's major visual inspirations for the film . Winderbaum also called Walt Simonson 's `` Ragnarok '' story arc an inspiration for `` really fun elements ... both stylistically and narratively '' , as well as Thor : God of Thunder by Jason Aaron , which was the inspiration for Hela 's design and abilities . Waititi said the planet Sakaar , which is featured in the `` Planet Hulk '' storyline , was `` the biggest shift for the film and these characters '' , with Winderbaum describing it as `` the toilet of the universe '' , surrounded by `` wormholes that have been spitting things out into this place for eons '' . Also featured is Muspelheim , one of the Nine Realms , ruled by Surtur . Production designer Dan Hennah described it as a Dyson sphere , with the realm drawing power out of a dying star to energize its inhabitants . Hennah hoped to give Asgard `` more of a humanity '' than in previous films , by adding smaller building perspectives to help the realm seem more practical and utilitarian . For Saakar 's gladiator arena , Hennah looked at Roman gladiators , but differentiated from previous similar ideas by going `` all alien with it '' . The arena is surrounded by `` standing up bleachers '' . Waititi said that the film would reinvent the franchise , as `` a lot of what we 're doing with the film is , in a way , kind of dismantling and destroying the old idea and rebuilding it in a new way that 's fresh . Everyone 's got a slightly new take on their characters , so in that way , it feels like ( this is ) the first Thor ( 2011 ) . '' He added that he had seen the other films and respected them , but wanted to focus on making a `` standalone film because this could be the only time I do this . I just want to make it ( my ) version of a Marvel film in the best way possible . '' This is something Hemsworth had hoped for , looking to have a lighter tone in Ragnarok compared to the previous Thor films , especially the second one , similar to Guardians of the Galaxy . He said , `` I feel we had less of the sort of the naivety or fun or humor that the first ( Thor ) might have had . I wish we had more of that in the second ( movie ) ... We 've done regal . We 've done Shakespeare , and we 've shown that . I think now it 's time to go , ' Ok , cool . Let 's try something different . ' '' Hemsworth continued that in order to prevent the character or film from becoming `` predictable '' , there was `` definitely a goal to do something unexpected ... I think we want to get back to more of a sense of adventure and fun '' . The events of Ragnarok are set four years after the events of Thor : The Dark World , two years after the events of Avengers : Age of Ultron , and around the same time as the events of Captain America : Civil War ( 2016 ) and Spider - Man : Homecoming ( 2017 ) , with Winderbaum noting that `` things happen on top of each other now in Phase Three . '' The events of Ragnarok also set up Avengers : Infinity War , and Hemsworth spoke to Infinity War directors Anthony and Joe Russo before receiving the script for Ragnarok to see how it would link to Infinity War . He said Ragnarok `` definitely bleeds nicely into those ( films ) '' , and Winderbaum likened Ragnarok 's impact on the larger MCU to that of Captain America : The Winter Soldier ( 2014 ) , saying it would break down ideas regarding Asgard that were previously established similar `` to how Winter Soldier broke down S.H.I.E.L.D. '' Filming ( edit ) Filming of Thor : Ragnarok in Brisbane 's central business district , which doubled as New York City Principal photography began on July 4 , 2016 , under the working title Creature Report , at Village Roadshow Studios in Oxenford , Gold Coast , Queensland , Australia , exclusively using all nine of the studios ' sound stages . Additional filming was to occur throughout the state of Queensland , including Tamborine National Park . The Brisbane central business district , where filming took place from August 22 to 25 , was used to double as New York City . Javier Aguirresarobe served as cinematographer on the film , describing his work on the film as `` a rare combination of satisfaction and frustration '' , feeling that he was mostly there to service the director and visual effects supervisor , but felt `` very happy to have been able to respond to such incredible technical requirements '' . Later in July , regarding the film 's `` buddy - style comedy '' nature , Waititi said that the script had changed from then and it was still unclear what the final film would look like , but there `` are buddy elements to it between Thor and the Hulk '' . He said it would be a `` ' 70s / ' 80s sci - fi fantasy '' and `` the most ' out there ' of all the Marvel movies '' , with the tone closest to that of Big Trouble in Little China . Inspiration for the road - trip aspect of the film included 48 Hrs. ( 1982 ) , Withnail and I ( 1987 ) , and Planes , Trains and Automobiles ( 1987 ) . Waititi also asked the heads of each department to watch Flash Gordon ( 1980 ) before beginning work . Concept art released at San Diego Comic Con 2016 revealed that the character Fenris Wolf would appear . By August , over 100 set and construction workers were given termination notifications , with some complaining that they had been promised work until October or November 2016 , and that New Zealand crew members were receiving preferential treatment over the Australian locals . However , Premier Palaszczuk stated that the work for set builders simply `` finished '' , and that other jobs would become available as actors arrived for filming . Sets constructed for the film were for Sakaar , including the Grandmaster 's palace and surrounding junkyard , as well as Asgard ( based on the aesthetics of the previous Thor films ) . The interior of the Avenger Quinjet , which was built for The Avengers ( 2012 ) , was shipped to Australia . Waititi , who is Māori , made hiring Indigenous and Aboriginal Australians , along with New Zealanders , a priority for the various departments , saying , `` It 's a responsibility you have to the Indigenous people . You 're coming to a country and you 're bringing money into the economy and creating jobs but I think you have an even bigger responsibility to look after the people that have less opportunities . '' He added that having these people on the crew `` feel very much like family '' and `` helps calm me down and makes me feel relaxed '' . The Indigenous and Aboriginals were hired as part of an initiative by Screen Australia 's Indigenous Department , whose mission is `` to give Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders a foot in the door of the film industry '' . In mid-September 2016 , concept art seen during a set visit indicated Midgard Serpent would appear , and that Sif and the Warriors Three , allies of Thor in the previous two films , would be addressed in Ragnarok . Towards the end of the month , Sam Neill , who worked with Waititi in Hunt for the Wilderpeople , revealed he had a role in the film . Shortly after , Waititi teased the inclusion of the characters Korg , who Waititi portrays through motion - capture , and Miek , who is not portrayed by an actor as he does not speak in the film , and is depicted as `` a larva - like creature ... ( with ) cybernetic legs and arms '' . In mid-October , Waititi revealed that new camera technology had been used for a shot in the film , and that he had hoped to include John C. Reilly 's Nova Corpsman Rhomann Dey in the film , but there was `` no real way to pull it off '' . Principal photography wrapped on October 28 , 2016 . Second unit filming took place on Dirk Hartog Island off the coast of Australia , and in the South Island of New Zealand . According to Waititi , 80 percent of the dialogue in Thor : Ragnarok was improvised , in order to create a `` very loose and collaborate mood '' among the cast and an attempt to replicate the tone and sensibility from his previous films . He stated , `` My style of working is I 'll often be behind the camera , or right next to the camera yelling words at people , like , ' Say this , say this ! Say it this way ! ' '' Post-production ( edit ) In January 2017 , it was revealed that Pearson would be receiving sole screenwriting credit on the film , with the story credited to Kyle , Yost , and Folsom . These credits were later updated the following September , with Pearson as the screenwriter and story credit for Kyle and Yost . Folsom took issue with Marvel marketing the film with these credits , noting the Writers Guild of America ( WGA ) had yet to determine the final credits for the film . She later said that Marvel had given her a story credit on the film , but was denied by the WGA due to their regulation that a maximum of two individuals can receive story credit , with an allowance for a writing team to count as one individual ; Pearson and the team of Kyle and Yost received the story credit on Ragnarok . Folsom added that she planned to appeal the decision , and that Marvel has been supportive of her throughout her attempt to receive credit . By the end of the month , the writing credits were updated once again , this time simply crediting Pearson , Kyle , and Yost as screenwriters . In February 2017 , Rachel House said she had a small role in the film , having worked with Waititi before . Additional filming took place in Atlanta in July 2017 , over three weeks , including filming post-credit scenes . One of these introduces the spaceship Sanctuary II , which belongs to Thanos , in Avengers : Infinity War and its untitled sequel , while the other , shown at the end of the credits , features the Grandmaster . Goldblum and Waititi improvised multiple versions of the latter scene ; one unused version involved the singing of the Sakaarian national anthem , which was `` made up on the spot '' . Also filmed in Atlanta was the completion of a sequence where Asgardian actors perform a play based on the events of The Dark World . Neill appears in the sequence as the Odin actor , and Hemsworth 's brother Luke portrays the Thor actor . Explaining the sequence , Waititi said , `` if I was Loki and I was ruling Asgard , I would write a play about myself and force everyone to go and see it -- change the details of the play and get a huge celebrity to play myself . '' For the Loki actor , they `` really wanted someone good and someone who 's funny '' , and Chris Hemsworth suggested that Matt Damon , whom he knew personally , take on the role . Damon was in New York City at the time , and flew to Atlanta just to shoot the cameo `` on a lark '' . Also changed during reshoots was the location of the sequence where Thor and Loki find Odin on Earth , and Hela subsequently destroys Mjolnir . Originally set in a New York City alley , Waititi decided that the environment was distracting from the emotions of the sequence . The location was changed to Norway , which Waititi felt gave more weight to the scenes , made Odin 's storyline more `` authentic '' , and also allowed the characters and the audience to `` chill out for a second , and have that moment , because the rest of the film basically just runs at a clip '' . By the time the reshoots for the film were completed , the film had been cut down from Waititi 's initial version of two hours and forty minutes to around ninety minutes , with that expected to increase slightly with the newly filmed scenes . However , after the film 's 2017 Comic Con panel , it was decided to add back a lot of the jokes that had been removed , with the final runtime being two hours and ten minutes . Joel Negron and Zene Baker served as editors on the film . Waititi described the process of deciding exactly what jokes to keep as `` very tricky ... sometimes it would be funny in the beginning of the film and then not funny at all ( or ) it was funny in the wrong places and in the end , we had to just keep testing jokes and testing parts of the film '' . Ragnarok also clarifies that an Infinity Gauntlet seen in Thor was a fake . Feige expanded , saying that it had been included in Thor as an easter egg , since Marvel Studios was `` working on The Avengers and trying to ( put ) that all together for the conclusion of Phase One . '' However , shortly after The Avengers released and the studio began to solidify plans for Avengers : Infinity War , they realized that the gauntlet seen in Thor could not be the actual one , creating an internal theory that it was fake ; this resulted in the scene in Ragnarok , which was created `` just ( to have ) the opportunity to call it a fake '' . Visual effects ( edit ) Original ( top ) and effects ( bottom ) shots of the Valkyrie flashback sequence in Thor : Ragnarok Visual effects for the film were created by Industrial Light & Magic 's ( ILM ) San Francisco and Vancouver studios , with help from Base FX , Animatrik , and Virtuos ; Framestore ; Method Studios Vancouver ; Digital Domain ; Rising Sun Pictures ; Luma Pictures ; D Negative ; Iloura ; Image Engine ; Trixter ; The Secret Lab ; WhiskeyTree Inc ; Fin Designs + Effects ; and Perception . Previsualization work was provided by The Third Floor and Day for Nite . Luma Pictures produced over 200 shoots in eight sequences , particularly for the characters Korg ( receiving assets from Framestore ) and Miek . Method Studios provided over 450 shots , including Thor 's opening fight against Surtur in Muspelheim and Hela 's fight against the Asgardian guards . D Negative worked on over 190 shots , creating the environment for the planet Sakaar , including its junkyard landscape and wormholes , with the wormholes also created through a collaboration with Digital Domain . ILM , who worked on previous incarnations of the Hulk , had to add much more detail to the character 's facial features in Ragnarok due to the Hulk 's increased dialogue . ILM visual effects supervisor Chad Wiebe explained that Ruffalo 's expressions were captured fresh for the film using Medusa , a performance capture technology . With 90 different expressions captured , ILM `` built an entirely new library that would allow ( Hulk ) to cover a full range of normal human visual characteristics . '' To help create the Hulk , a person on set was covered in green body paint , and would replicate the intended motions of the character to aid the visual effect artists . Additionally , stunt actor Paul Lowe , who is under 5 feet ( 1.5 m ) tall , stood in for Hemsworth during some of his interactions with the Hulk so that the Hulk 's stunt men would be proportionally correct . In some instances when Thor and the Hulk interacted , a digital double was used for Thor , also created by ILM , to have greater flexibility for the shots . ILM worked on all of the Hulk moments in the film outside the final fight sequence , which was completed by Framestore using ILM 's assets , as Framestore was primarily responsible for rigging that sequence . Framestore completed nearly 460 shots , which featured digital doubles of Thor and Hela , Fenris , Korg , Miek , the giant Surtur at the end of the film , and over 9,000 buildings for Asgard , based on assets D Negative had from The Dark World , resulting in over 263 character , vehicle , prop , and crowd rigs . Rising Sun Pictures produced more than 170 visual effects shots for Thor : Ragnarok . They worked on the Valkyrie flashback sequence , with the sequence 's surreal ethereal appearance achieved through a combination of motion capture , computer graphics , a 900 fps high - speed frame rate , and a special 360 ° lighting rig containing 200 strobe lights to bathe the scene in undulating patterns of light and shadow . Rising Sun also helped create the various CGI aspects of Hela , such as her `` hair wipe transition '' to her horns , and her original introduction in New York City . Following the reshoots , ImageEngine completed the new Norway introduction since Rising Sun was focused on the palace fight by then . Music ( edit ) Main article : Thor : Ragnarok ( soundtrack ) By August 2016 , Mark Mothersbaugh was hired to score the film . The synthesized score is influenced by the work of Jean - Michel Jarre . Waititi stated he would have asked the band Queen to work on the soundtrack for the film if their lead singer Freddie Mercury was still alive , because the film is `` a cool , bold , colorful cosmic adventure '' which would have suited the `` feel '' of the band . Additional music featured in the film include `` Immigrant Song '' by Led Zeppelin and `` Pure Imagination '' from the film Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory ( 1971 ) . Patrick Doyle 's themes from Thor and Brian Tyler 's themes from The Dark World and Avengers : Age of Ultron , as well as Joe Harnell 's `` The Lonely Man '' theme from The Incredible Hulk series , are also used in the film . Hollywood Records released the film 's soundtrack digitally on October 20 , 2017 , and physically on November 10 , 2017 . Release ( edit ) Mark Ruffalo ( center left ) and Chris Hemsworth ( center right ) at the Sydney premiere of Thor : Ragnarok Thor : Ragnarok had its world premiere at the El Capitan Theatre in Los Angeles on October 10 , 2017 , and its Australian premiere took place on October 13 , on the Gold Coast . It was released in the United Kingdom on October 24 , 2017 , with additional international releases on October 25 , and in Australia on October 26 . The film was released in the United States and Canada on November 3 , in 4,080 theaters , of which over 3,400 were 3D , 381 were IMAX and IMAX 3D , and 204 were D - Box . The film opened in 1,187 IMAX theaters globally , which was a November opening weekend record . It was originally scheduled for release on July 28 , 2017 . Marketing ( edit ) At the 2016 San Diego Comic - Con , a physical model of Hulk 's gladiator armor was revealed , concept art and rough animatics were shown , and a `` mockumentary '' short titled Team Thor was screened . Directed by Waititi , it showed what Thor and Banner were doing during the events of Civil War , with Daley Pearson appearing as Thor 's Australian flatmate Darryl Jacobson . The short released online in August 2016 , and with the digital download of Captain America : Civil War the following month . Team Thor : Part 2 was released on the home media of Doctor Strange in February 2017 , with Pearson reprising his role . Footage and concept art for the film were shown at CinemaCon 2017 . On April 10 , 2017 , the first teaser trailer was released . Sandy Schaefer of Screen Rant felt it was `` a strong start '' for the film , having `` a distinctly playful vibe '' by setting it to `` Immigrant Song '' . The Verge 's Chaim Gartenberg said `` this may be the weirdest Marvel movie to date '' thanks to the costumes , makeup , and 80s aesthetic . Michael Arbeiter for Nerdist was pleased with the teaser , stating , `` nothing in the MCU thus far can hold a candle to the imagination promised by this ... have any of ( the previous MCU films ) felt this beholden to what we 've always known and loved as the adventure genre ? '' The teaser was viewed 136 million times in 24 hours , the third - highest in that time frame behind The Fate of the Furious ( 139 million ) and It ( 197 million ) . It also became Disney and Marvel 's most viewed trailer within that time period , surpassing Beauty and the Beast ( 127 million ) and Captain America : Civil War ( 94 million ) , respectively . The line from the trailer of Thor saying Hulk `` is a friend from work '' was suggested to Hemsworth by a Make - A-Wish child visiting the set on the day the scene was filmed . Props and costumes from the film were on display at D23 Expo 2017 along with set pieces for photo opportunities . The costumes were also on display at the 2017 San Diego Comic - Con , where Waitti and cast members promoted the film . Exclusive clips were shown , along with a new trailer . Ethan Anderton of / Film felt `` the blend of comedy and bright , vibrant comic book action '' in the trailer was `` incredible '' . Collider 's Haleigh Foutch was `` in love with this trailer '' and `` all in '' on the film . Germain Lussier for io9 called the trailer `` a two - and - a-half - minute ball of action , awesomeness , humor , and insanity that may be the most purely fun Marvel movie trailer we 've ever seen . '' The poster also released was praised , being called by Anthony Couto from Comic Book Resources as `` quite stunning '' , `` insanely colorful '' , and `` perfectly symmetrical '' , with Matt Goldberg of Collider feeling it `` really ( lets ) you know that this Thor movie is going to be radically different than the first two '' . Due to the Comic - Con presentation , Thor : Ragnarok generated over 264,000 new conversations on social media from July 17 to 23 , the most out of any film during that time period , according to comScore and its PreAct service . It remained the most - discussed film on social media for two more weeks . In August 2017 , Marvel partnered with car manufacturer Renault on a commercial supporting the release of the Kwid in Brazil . Directed by Jonathan Gurvit and shot in São Paulo , it features the Hulk destroying a satellite headed towards the city . Framestore worked on visual effects for the commercial , building on the foundation they had from working on the character in previous films . Also in August , Marvel , in partnership with Dolby Laboratories , Synchrony Bank , American Association for the Advancement of Science ( AAAS ) , Broadcom Masters , and Society for Science & the Public , announced the `` Superpower of STEM Challenge '' , aimed at females aged 15 through 18 in STEM ( Science , Technology , Engineering , and Mathematics education ) fields , to `` create an original Do - It - Yourself project that can be replicated by others '' and `` help their family , community or the world be safer , healthier or happier '' . Five winners would attend the film 's world premiere , receive a tour of Walt Disney Studios , and a $500 saving account from Synchrony Bank , with one grand prize winner attending `` an immersive three - day mentorship in New York City with Disney Imagineering '' to create a `` professional - level video teaching other young people how to recreate '' their winning project . They were also given the opportunity to demonstrate the project on Good Morning America . For the week of August 21 , Ragnarok once again had the most social media conversations according to comScore and its PreAct service . New clips of Thor and Hulk fighting , released on the same day as the Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Conor McGregor fight , helped generate the 57,000 new conversations for the week . From September 25 to October 15 , Ragnarok had the second-most social media conversations according to the service , and was once again first for the week of October 16 following the release of extended clips and plot details . Beginning October 6 , 2017 , Disney California Adventure showed a sneak peek of the film at the Sunset Showcase Theater in Hollywood Land , presented in 3D with `` special in - theater effects '' . Ahead of the United States release of the film , Hemsworth , Hiddleston , Blanchett , Goldblum , Ruffalo , and Thompson appeared with James Corden on The Late Late Show with James Corden to present a `` 4D '' version of the film , which was actually a stage play . The cast performed various scenes from the film live in low - budget costumes and with cardboard stage props . Additional promotional partners of the film included Red Robin , United Healthcare , and Screenvision Media . Home Media ( edit ) Thor : Ragnarok was released on digital download by Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment on February 20 , 2018 , and on Ultra HD Blu - ray , Blu - ray , DVD and On - Demand on March 6 . The digital and Blu - ray releases include behind - the - scenes featurettes ; audio commentary ; deleted scenes ; a blooper reel ; and Team Darryl , a continuation of the `` mockumentary '' short films Team Thor and Team Thor : Part 2 , in which the Grandmaster moves in with Darryl after Thor leaves . In one of the deleted scenes , Michael Rooker makes an appearance as Yondu , reprising the role from the first two Guardians of the Galaxy films .

Critical response ( edit ) The performances of ( top , L to R ) Chris Hemsworth , Tom Hiddleston , Cate Blanchett , ( bottom , L to R ) Tessa Thompson , Jeff Goldblum , and Mark Ruffalo were widely praised by critics . The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 92 % approval rating based on 333 reviews , with an average score of 7.5 out of 10 . The website 's critical consensus reads , `` Exciting , funny , and above all fun , Thor : Ragnarok is a colorful cosmic adventure that sets a new standard for its franchise -- and the rest of the Marvel Cinematic Universe . '' Metacritic , which uses a weighted average , assigned a score of 74 out of 100 based on 51 critics , indicating `` generally favorable reviews '' . Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of `` A '' on an A+ to F scale , the best of the Thor series , while PostTrak reported filmgoers gave it a 90 % overall positive score and an 85 % `` definite recommend '' . Sheri Linden of The Hollywood Reporter praised Waititi 's handling of `` the clash - of - worlds CGI extravaganza '' , particularly for the lighter tone he brought , with `` even the story 's central bad guys ( being ) silly fun , hammed to the hilt by Cate Blanchett and Jeff Goldblum . '' Alonso Duralde of TheWrap wrote , `` Both the banter and the fighting , it should be noted , are excellent , so whether you go to superhero movies for the glossy escapism or the pulse - pounding action , you 'll get your large soda 's worth . '' Peter Travers of Rolling Stone rated the film three stars out of four , described it as `` the most fun you 'll ever have at a Marvel movie '' while praising the film 's changing tone and direction , comparing it favourably to Guardians of the Galaxy . The San Francisco Chronicle 's Mick LaSalle lauded the performances of Hemsworth , Hiddleston , Blanchett , Thompson , Goldblum and Ruffalo , feeling the film `` has confidence in its characters and in its own invention , and so it avoids repetition and stays fresh '' . Richard Roeper of the Chicago Sun - Times similarly praised the film , calling the performances of the ensemble cast `` outstanding '' and Waititi 's direction `` goofy and campy and marvelously self - referential '' . He also said the soundtrack that was used in the climactic battle sequence , particularly Led Zeppelin 's `` Immigrant Song '' as being `` perfectly synced '' . Matt Zoller Seitz of RogerEbert.com gave the film three out of four stars , positively comparing Hemsworth 's performance to Cary Grant : `` Hemsworth 's charisma holds ( Thor : Ragnarok ) together whenever it threatens to spin apart '' . Justin Chang of Los Angeles Times praised Blanchett 's performance of Hela , drawing a comparison of the portrayal of her character to other iconic villains such as Maleficent and Chernabog , and the film 's similar themes and tone to Flash Gordon , Star Wars , ( 1977 ) and Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory . The Daily Telegraph 's Robbie Collin gave the film four out of five , hailed it as `` one of ( Marvel 's ) best films to date '' while commending the performances and describing Mark Mothersbaugh 's musical score as `` turbo - charged '' . Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune commended the performances of Hiddleston and Thompson as being `` wonderfully matched '' . He also noted a similar directing style of Waititi to Edgar Wright 's `` parodic work '' and labelled the film as `` unusually lively and buoyant '' while acknowledging the effect of a `` Marvel Fatigue factor '' towards the audiences . Peter Debruge of Variety called the movie `` preposterous '' , but praised Goldblum 's performance . Stephanie Zacharek of Time magazine stated negatively that `` Thor : Ragnarok is packed tight with zooming space vehicles and noisy thunder battles , but the movie 's extravagant excess is more narcotizing than energizing . '' Zacharek further added that `` Even poor Thor seems lost in all of it , and he 's supposed to be its star '' while criticizing the film 's visual effects as being `` an instance of fun overkill '' and `` a special - effects coma '' . Manohla Dargis of The New York Times called the story `` an uninteresting thicket of brawls , machinations and useful coincidences '' but did feel that Hemsworth `` looks happier and far more relaxed in Ragnarok than he did in the previous Thor vehicles , which is perhaps Mr. Waititi 's truest achievement here .

Feige said Marvel still had plans for those characters , but did not specify . In January 2018 , Hemsworth indicated his interest in continuing to play Thor , despite his contract with Marvel Studios scheduled to end after the fourth Avengers film , saying the next month `` if there 's another great script that comes along '' he would consider playing the character again . He and Waititi had discussed what they would want in a potential fourth Thor film by then . Notes ( edit ) Jump up ^ As depicted in the 2015 film Avengers : Age of Ultron .

About Wikipedia	who plays thor sister in the new movie	[ "Cate Blanchett as Hela:\nThor's older sister and the goddess of death, based on the deity Hel,[11][15][16] who is inadvertently released from prison.[17] Screenwriter Eric Pearson included the idea of Hela being Thor's sister in one of his drafts at the encouragement of executive producer Brad Winderbaum. The decision to make Hela related to Thor, as opposed to Loki as in the comics and Norse mythology, came from needing more impact with Hela and Thor's final confrontation. By making the change, Pearson felt Hela became \"the thing that [represents] what it is to rule Asgard, [Thor's] family, what he's been told, what he hasn't been told.\"[18] Blanchett found it difficult to portray the character in a motion capture suit rather than costume, feeling Hela's headdress is \"such a huge part of\" the power of the character that she would have liked to wear it on set.[19] Hela's design was taken from the comic Thor: God of Thunder by Jason Aaron, while the character Gorr from that comic, who has the ability \"to manifest an infinite number of weapons\", inspired a similar ability for Hela.[20] Blanchett worked with stuntwoman Zoë Bell and Hemsworth's personal trainer Luke Zocchi, and studied capoeira for the role.[6][17]" ]	[ "Cate Blanchett" ]

Edgar Allan Poe 1849 `` Annie '' daguerreotype of Poe Edgar Poe ( 1809 - 01 - 19 ) January 19 , 1809 Boston , Massachusetts , U.S. October 7 , 1849 ( 1849 - 10 - 07 ) ( aged 40 ) Baltimore , Maryland , U.S. Alma mater University of Virginia United States Military Academy Spouse Virginia Eliza Clemm Poe ( m . 1836 ; d . 1847 ) Signature Edgar Allan Poe ( / poʊ / ; born Edgar Poe ; January 19 , 1809 -- October 7 , 1849 ) was an American writer , editor , and literary critic . Poe is best known for his poetry and short stories , particularly his tales of mystery and the macabre . He is widely regarded as a central figure of Romanticism in the United States and American literature as a whole , and he was one of the country 's earliest practitioners of the short story . Poe is generally considered the inventor of the detective fiction genre and is further credited with contributing to the emerging genre of science fiction . He was the first well - known American writer to try to earn a living through writing alone , resulting in a financially difficult life and career . Poe was born in Boston , the second child of two actors . His father abandoned the family in 1810 , and his mother died the following year . Thus orphaned , the child was taken in by John and Frances Allan of Richmond , Virginia . They never formally adopted him , but Poe was with them well into young adulthood . Tension developed later as John Allan and Edgar repeatedly clashed over debts , including those incurred by gambling , and the cost of secondary education for the young man . Poe attended the University of Virginia for one semester but left due to lack of money . Poe quarreled with Allan over the funds for his education and enlisted in the Army in 1827 under an assumed name . It was at this time that his publishing career began , albeit humbly , with the anonymous collection of poems Tamerlane and Other Poems ( 1827 ) , credited only to `` a Bostonian '' . With the death of Frances Allan in 1829 , Poe and Allan reached a temporary rapprochement . However , Poe later failed as an officer cadet at West Point , declaring a firm wish to be a poet and writer , and he ultimately parted ways with John Allan . Poe switched his focus to prose and spent the next several years working for literary journals and periodicals , becoming known for his own style of literary criticism . His work forced him to move among several cities , including Baltimore , Philadelphia , and New York City . In Richmond in 1836 , he married Virginia Clemm , his 13 - year - old cousin . In January 1845 , Poe published his poem `` The Raven '' to instant success . His wife died of tuberculosis two years after its publication . For years , he had been planning to produce his own journal The Penn ( later renamed The Stylus ) , though he died before it could be produced . Poe died in Baltimore on October 7 , 1849 , at age 40 ; the cause of his death is unknown and has been variously attributed to alcohol , brain congestion , cholera , drugs , heart disease , rabies , suicide , tuberculosis , and other agents . Poe and his works influenced literature in the United States and around the world , as well as in specialized fields such as cosmology and cryptography . Poe and his work appear throughout popular culture in literature , music , films , and television . A number of his homes are dedicated museums today . The Mystery Writers of America present an annual award known as the Edgar Award for distinguished work in the mystery genre .

He was born Edgar Poe in Boston on January 19 , 1809 , the second child of English - born actress Elizabeth Arnold Hopkins Poe and actor David Poe , Jr ... He had an elder brother William Henry Leonard Poe , and a younger sister Rosalie Poe . Their grandfather David Poe Sr. had emigrated from Cavan , Ireland to America around the year 1750 . Edgar may have been named after a character in William Shakespeare 's King Lear , a play that the couple were performing in 1809 . His father abandoned their family in 1810 , and his mother died a year later from consumption ( pulmonary tuberculosis ) . Poe was then taken into the home of John Allan , a successful Scottish merchant in Richmond , Virginia who dealt in a variety of goods , including tobacco , cloth , wheat , tombstones , and slaves . The Allans served as a foster family and gave him the name `` Edgar Allan Poe '' , though they never formally adopted him . The Allan family had Poe baptized in the Episcopal Church in 1812 . John Allan alternately spoiled and aggressively disciplined his foster son . The family sailed to Britain in 1815 , and Poe attended the grammar school for a short period in Irvine , Scotland ( where John Allan was born ) before rejoining the family in London in 1816 . There he studied at a boarding school in Chelsea until summer 1817 . He was subsequently entered at the Reverend John Bransby 's Manor House School at Stoke Newington , then a suburb 4 miles ( 6.4 km ) north of London . Poe moved with the Allans back to Richmond , Virginia in 1820 . In 1824 , Poe served as the lieutenant of the Richmond youth honor guard as Richmond celebrated the visit of the Marquis de Lafayette . In March 1825 , John Allan 's uncle and business benefactor William Galt , said to be one of the wealthiest men in Richmond , died , leaving Allan several acres of real estate . The inheritance was estimated at $750,000 . By summer 1825 , Allan celebrated his expansive wealth by purchasing a two - story brick home named Moldavia . Poe may have become engaged to Sarah Elmira Royster before he registered at the one - year - old University of Virginia in February 1826 to study ancient and modern languages . The university , in its infancy , was established on the ideals of its founder Thomas Jefferson . It had strict rules against gambling , horses , guns , tobacco , and alcohol , but these rules were generally ignored . Jefferson had enacted a system of student self - government , allowing students to choose their own studies , make their own arrangements for boarding , and report all wrongdoing to the faculty . The unique system was still in chaos , and there was a high dropout rate . During his time there , Poe lost touch with Royster and also became estranged from his foster father over gambling debts . Poe claimed that Allan had not given him sufficient money to register for classes , purchase texts , and procure and furnish a dormitory . Allan did send additional money and clothes , but Poe 's debts increased . Poe gave up on the university after a year , not feeling welcome in Richmond , especially when he learned that his sweetheart Royster had married Alexander Shelton . He traveled to Boston in April 1827 , sustaining himself with odd jobs as a clerk and newspaper writer . At some point , he started using the pseudonym Henri Le Rennet . Military career Poe was first stationed at Boston 's Fort Independence while in the army . Poe was unable to support himself , so he enlisted in the United States Army as a private on May 27 , 1827 , using the name `` Edgar A. Perry '' . He claimed that he was 22 years old even though he was 18 . He first served at Fort Independence in Boston Harbor for five dollars a month . That same year , he released his first book , a 40 - page collection of poetry titled Tamerlane and Other Poems , attributed with the byline `` by a Bostonian '' . Only 50 copies were printed , and the book received virtually no attention . Poe 's regiment was posted to Fort Moultrie in Charleston , South Carolina and traveled by ship on the brig Waltham on November 8 , 1827 . Poe was promoted to `` artificer '' , an enlisted tradesman who prepared shells for artillery , and had his monthly pay doubled . He served for two years and attained the rank of Sergeant Major for Artillery ( the highest rank that a noncommissioned officer could achieve ) ; he then sought to end his five - year enlistment early . He revealed his real name and his circumstances to his commanding officer , Lieutenant Howard . Howard would only allow Poe to be discharged if he reconciled with John Allan and wrote a letter to Allan , who was unsympathetic . Several months passed and pleas to Allan were ignored ; Allan may not have written to Poe even to make him aware of his foster mother 's illness . Frances Allan died on February 28 , 1829 , and Poe visited the day after her burial . Perhaps softened by his wife 's death , John Allan agreed to support Poe 's attempt to be discharged in order to receive an appointment to the United States Military Academy at West Point . Poe finally was discharged on April 15 , 1829 , after securing a replacement to finish his enlisted term for him . Before entering West Point , Poe moved back to Baltimore for a time to stay with his widowed aunt Maria Clemm , her daughter Virginia Eliza Clemm ( Poe 's first cousin ) , his brother Henry , and his invalid grandmother Elizabeth Cairnes Poe . Meanwhile , Poe published his second book Al Aaraaf , Tamerlane and Minor Poems in Baltimore in 1829 . Poe traveled to West Point and matriculated as a cadet on July 1 , 1830 . In October 1830 , John Allan married his second wife Louisa Patterson . The marriage and bitter quarrels with Poe over the children born to Allan out of affairs led to the foster father finally disowning Poe . Poe decided to leave West Point by purposely getting court - martialed . On February 8 , 1831 , he was tried for gross neglect of duty and disobedience of orders for refusing to attend formations , classes , or church . Poe tactically pleaded not guilty to induce dismissal , knowing that he would be found guilty . He left for New York in February 1831 and released a third volume of poems , simply titled Poems . The book was financed with help from his fellow cadets at West Point , many of whom donated 75 cents to the cause , raising a total of $170 . They may have been expecting verses similar to the satirical ones that Poe had been writing about commanding officers . It was printed by Elam Bliss of New York , labeled as `` Second Edition , '' and including a page saying , `` To the U.S. Corps of Cadets this volume is respectfully dedicated '' . The book once again reprinted the long poems `` Tamerlane '' and `` Al Aaraaf '' but also six previously unpublished poems , including early versions of `` To Helen '' , `` Israfel '' , and `` The City in the Sea '' . He returned to Baltimore to his aunt , brother , and cousin in March 1831 . His elder brother Henry had been in ill health , in part due to problems with alcoholism , and he died on August 1 , 1831 . Publishing career After his brother 's death , Poe began more earnest attempts to start his career as a writer . He chose a difficult time in American publishing to do so . He was the first well - known American to try to live by writing alone and was hampered by the lack of an international copyright law . Publishers often produced unauthorized copies of British works rather than paying for new work by Americans . The industry was also particularly hurt by the Panic of 1837 . There was a booming growth in American periodicals around this time period , fueled in part by new technology , but many did not last beyond a few issues and publishers often refused to pay their writers , or paid them much later than they promised . Throughout his attempts to live as a writer , Poe repeatedly had to resort to humiliating pleas for money and other assistance . In 1835 , Poe , then 26 , obtained a license to marry his 13 - year - old cousin Virginia Clemm . They were married for eleven years until her early death , which may have inspired some of his writing . After his early attempts at poetry , Poe had turned his attention to prose . He placed a few stories with a Philadelphia publication and began work on his only drama Politian . The Baltimore Saturday Visiter awarded Poe a prize in October 1833 for his short story `` MS . Found in a Bottle '' . The story brought him to the attention of John P. Kennedy , a Baltimorean of considerable means . He helped Poe place some of his stories , and introduced him to Thomas W. White , editor of the Southern Literary Messenger in Richmond . Poe became assistant editor of the periodical in August 1835 , but was discharged within a few weeks for having been caught drunk by his boss . Returning to Baltimore , Poe obtained a license to marry his cousin Virginia on September 22 , 1835 , though it is unknown if they were married at that time . He was 26 and she was 13 . He was reinstated by White after promising good behavior , and went back to Richmond with Virginia and her mother . He remained at the Messenger until January 1837 . During this period , Poe claimed that its circulation increased from 700 to 3,500 . He published several poems , book reviews , critiques , and stories in the paper . On May 16 , 1836 , he and Virginia Clemm held a Presbyterian wedding ceremony at their Richmond boarding house , with a witness falsely attesting Clemm 's age as 21 . The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket was published and widely reviewed in 1838 . In the summer of 1839 , Poe became assistant editor of Burton 's Gentleman 's Magazine . He published numerous articles , stories , and reviews , enhancing his reputation as a trenchant critic which he had established at the Southern Literary Messenger . Also in 1839 , the collection Tales of the Grotesque and Arabesque was published in two volumes , though he made little money from it and it received mixed reviews . Poe left Burton 's after about a year and found a position as assistant at Graham 's Magazine . In June 1840 , Poe published a prospectus announcing his intentions to start his own journal called The Stylus . Originally , Poe intended to call the journal The Penn , as it would have been based in Philadelphia . In the June 6 , 1840 issue of Philadelphia 's Saturday Evening Post , Poe bought advertising space for his prospectus : `` Prospectus of the Penn Magazine , a Monthly Literary journal to be edited and published in the city of Philadelphia by Edgar A. Poe . '' The journal was never produced before Poe 's death . Around this time , he attempted to secure a position with the Tyler administration , claiming that he was a member of the Whig Party . He hoped to be appointed to the Custom House in Philadelphia with help from President Tyler 's son Robert , an acquaintance of Poe 's friend Frederick Thomas . Poe failed to show up for a meeting with Thomas to discuss the appointment in mid-September 1842 , claiming to have been sick , though Thomas believed that he had been drunk . Though he was promised an appointment , all positions were filled by others . Poe spent the last few years of his life in this small cottage in Fordham , in what is now the Bronx . One evening in January 1842 , Virginia showed the first signs of consumption , now known as tuberculosis , while singing and playing the piano . Poe described it as breaking a blood vessel in her throat . She only partially recovered . Poe began to drink more heavily under the stress of Virginia 's illness . He left Graham 's and attempted to find a new position , for a time angling for a government post . He returned to New York where he worked briefly at the Evening Mirror before becoming editor of the Broadway Journal and , later , sole owner . There he alienated himself from other writers by publicly accusing Henry Wadsworth Longfellow of plagiarism , though Longfellow never responded . On January 29 , 1845 , his poem `` The Raven '' appeared in the Evening Mirror and became a popular sensation . It made Poe a household name almost instantly , though he was paid only $9 for its publication . It was concurrently published in The American Review : A Whig Journal under the pseudonym `` Quarles '' . The Broadway Journal failed in 1846 . Poe moved to a cottage in Fordham , New York , in what is now the Bronx . That home is known today as the `` Poe Cottage '' on the southeast corner of the Grand Concourse and Kingsbridge Road , where he befriended the Jesuits at St. John 's College nearby ( now Fordham University ) . Virginia died there on January 30 , 1847 . Biographers and critics often suggest that Poe 's frequent theme of the `` death of a beautiful woman '' stems from the repeated loss of women throughout his life , including his wife . Poe was increasingly unstable after his wife 's death . He attempted to court poet Sarah Helen Whitman who lived in Providence , Rhode Island . Their engagement failed , purportedly because of Poe 's drinking and erratic behavior . There is also strong evidence that Whitman 's mother intervened and did much to derail their relationship . Poe then returned to Richmond and resumed a relationship with his childhood sweetheart Sarah Elmira Royster . Death Edgar Allan Poe is buried at Westminster Hall in Baltimore , Maryland ( Lat : 39.29027 ; Long : - 76.62333 ) . The circumstances and cause of his death remain uncertain . Main article : Death of Edgar Allan Poe On October 3 , 1849 , Poe was found delirious on the streets of Baltimore , `` in great distress , and ... in need of immediate assistance '' , according to Joseph W. Walker who found him . He was taken to the Washington Medical College where he died on Sunday , October 7 , 1849 at 5 : 00 in the morning . Poe was never coherent long enough to explain how he came to be in his dire condition and , oddly , was wearing clothes that were not his own . He is said to have repeatedly called out the name `` Reynolds '' on the night before his death , though it is unclear to whom he was referring . Some sources say that Poe 's final words were `` Lord help my poor soul '' . All medical records have been lost , including his death certificate . Newspapers at the time reported Poe 's death as `` congestion of the brain '' or `` cerebral inflammation '' , common euphemisms for deaths from disreputable causes such as alcoholism . The actual cause of death remains a mystery . Speculation has included delirium tremens , heart disease , epilepsy , syphilis , meningeal inflammation , cholera , and rabies . One theory dating from 1872 suggests that cooping was the cause of Poe 's death , a form of electoral fraud in which citizens were forced to vote for a particular candidate , sometimes leading to violence and even murder . Griswold 's `` Memoir '' The day that Edgar Allan Poe was buried , a long obituary appeared in the New York Tribune signed `` Ludwig '' . It was soon published throughout the country . The piece began , `` Edgar Allan Poe is dead . He died in Baltimore the day before yesterday . This announcement will startle many , but few will be grieved by it . '' `` Ludwig '' was soon identified as Rufus Wilmot Griswold , an editor , critic , and anthologist who had borne a grudge against Poe since 1842 . Griswold somehow became Poe 's literary executor and attempted to destroy his enemy 's reputation after his death . Rufus Griswold wrote a biographical article of Poe called `` Memoir of the Author '' , which he included in an 1850 volume of the collected works . Griswold depicted Poe as a depraved , drunken , drug - addled madman and included Poe 's letters as evidence . Many of his claims were either lies or distorted half - truths . For example , it is now known that Poe was not a drug addict . Griswold 's book was denounced by those who knew Poe well , but it became a popularly accepted one . This occurred in part because it was the only full biography available and was widely reprinted , and in part because readers thrilled at the thought of reading works by an `` evil '' man . Letters that Griswold presented as proof of this depiction of Poe were later revealed as forgeries . Literary style and themes 1845 portrait by Samuel Stillman Osgood Genres Poe 's best known fiction works are Gothic , a genre that he followed to appease the public taste . His most recurring themes deal with questions of death , including its physical signs , the effects of decomposition , concerns of premature burial , the reanimation of the dead , and mourning . Many of his works are generally considered part of the dark romanticism genre , a literary reaction to transcendentalism which Poe strongly disliked . He referred to followers of the transcendental movement as `` Frog - Pondians '' , after the pond on Boston Common , and ridiculed their writings as `` metaphor -- run mad , '' lapsing into `` obscurity for obscurity 's sake '' or `` mysticism for mysticism 's sake '' . Poe once wrote in a letter to Thomas Holley Chivers that he did not dislike Transcendentalists , `` only the pretenders and sophists among them '' . Beyond horror , Poe also wrote satires , humor tales , and hoaxes . For comic effect , he used irony and ludicrous extravagance , often in an attempt to liberate the reader from cultural conformity . `` Metzengerstein '' is the first story that Poe is known to have published and his first foray into horror , but it was originally intended as a burlesque satirizing the popular genre . Poe also reinvented science fiction , responding in his writing to emerging technologies such as hot air balloons in `` The Balloon - Hoax '' . Poe wrote much of his work using themes aimed specifically at mass - market tastes . To that end , his fiction often included elements of popular pseudosciences , such as phrenology and physiognomy . Literary theory Poe 's writing reflects his literary theories , which he presented in his criticism and also in essays such as `` The Poetic Principle '' . He disliked didacticism and allegory , though he believed that meaning in literature should be an undercurrent just beneath the surface . Works with obvious meanings , he wrote , cease to be art . He believed that work of quality should be brief and focus on a specific single effect . To that end , he believed that the writer should carefully calculate every sentiment and idea . Poe describes his method in writing `` The Raven '' in the essay `` The Philosophy of Composition '' , and he claims to have strictly followed this method . It has been questioned whether he really followed this system , however . T.S. Eliot said : `` It is difficult for us to read that essay without reflecting that if Poe plotted out his poem with such calculation , he might have taken a little more pains over it : the result hardly does credit to the method . '' Biographer Joseph Wood Krutch described the essay as `` a rather highly ingenious exercise in the art of rationalization '' . Legacy Illustration by French impressionist Édouard Manet for the Stéphane Mallarmé translation of `` The Raven '' , 1875 . Digitally restored . Literary influence During his lifetime , Poe was mostly recognized as a literary critic . Fellow critic James Russell Lowell called him `` the most discriminating , philosophical , and fearless critic upon imaginative works who has written in America '' , suggesting -- rhetorically -- that he occasionally used prussic acid instead of ink . Poe 's caustic reviews earned him the reputation of being a `` tomahawk man '' . A favorite target of Poe 's criticism was Boston 's acclaimed poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow , who was often defended by his literary friends in what was later called `` The Longfellow War '' . Poe accused Longfellow of `` the heresy of the didactic '' , writing poetry that was preachy , derivative , and thematically plagiarized . Poe correctly predicted that Longfellow 's reputation and style of poetry would decline , concluding , `` We grant him high qualities , but deny him the Future '' . Poe was also known as a writer of fiction and became one of the first American authors of the 19th century to become more popular in Europe than in the United States . Poe is particularly respected in France , in part due to early translations by Charles Baudelaire . Baudelaire 's translations became definitive renditions of Poe 's work throughout Europe . Poe 's early detective fiction tales featuring C. Auguste Dupin laid the groundwork for future detectives in literature . Sir Arthur Conan Doyle said , `` Each ( of Poe 's detective stories ) is a root from which a whole literature has developed ... Where was the detective story until Poe breathed the breath of life into it ? '' The Mystery Writers of America have named their awards for excellence in the genre the `` Edgars '' . Poe 's work also influenced science fiction , notably Jules Verne , who wrote a sequel to Poe 's novel The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket called An Antarctic Mystery , also known as The Sphinx of the Ice Fields . Science fiction author H.G. Wells noted , `` Pym tells what a very intelligent mind could imagine about the south polar region a century ago . '' In 2013 , The Guardian cited The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket as one of the greatest novels ever written in the English language , and noted its influence on later authors such as Henry James , Arthur Conan Doyle , B. Traven , and David Morrell . Like many famous artists , Poe 's works have spawned imitators . One trend among imitators of Poe has been claims by clairvoyants or psychics to be `` channeling '' poems from Poe 's spirit . One of the most notable of these was Lizzie Doten , who published Poems from the Inner Life in 1863 , in which she claimed to have `` received '' new compositions by Poe 's spirit . The compositions were re-workings of famous Poe poems such as `` The Bells '' , but which reflected a new , positive outlook . 1848 `` Ultima Thule '' daguerreotype of Poe Even so , Poe has received not only praise , but criticism as well . This is partly because of the negative perception of his personal character and its influence upon his reputation . William Butler Yeats was occasionally critical of Poe and once called him `` vulgar '' . Transcendentalist Ralph Waldo Emerson reacted to `` The Raven '' by saying , `` I see nothing in it '' , and derisively referred to Poe as `` the jingle man '' . Aldous Huxley wrote that Poe 's writing `` falls into vulgarity '' by being `` too poetical '' -- the equivalent of wearing a diamond ring on every finger . It is believed that only 12 copies have survived of Poe 's first book Tamerlane and Other Poems . In December 2009 , one copy sold at Christie 's , New York for $662,500 , a record price paid for a work of American literature . Physics and cosmology Eureka : A Prose Poem , an essay written in 1848 , included a cosmological theory that presaged the Big Bang theory by 80 years , as well as the first plausible solution to Olbers ' paradox . Poe eschewed the scientific method in Eureka and instead wrote from pure intuition . For this reason , he considered it a work of art , not science , but insisted that it was still true and considered it to be his career masterpiece . Even so , Eureka is full of scientific errors . In particular , Poe 's suggestions ignored Newtonian principles regarding the density and rotation of planets . Cryptography Poe had a keen interest in cryptography . He had placed a notice of his abilities in the Philadelphia paper Alexander 's Weekly ( Express ) Messenger , inviting submissions of ciphers which he proceeded to solve . In July 1841 , Poe had published an essay called `` A Few Words on Secret Writing '' in Graham 's Magazine . Capitalizing on public interest in the topic , he wrote `` The Gold - Bug '' incorporating ciphers as an essential part of the story . Poe 's success with cryptography relied not so much on his deep knowledge of that field ( his method was limited to the simple substitution cryptogram ) as on his knowledge of the magazine and newspaper culture . His keen analytical abilities , which were so evident in his detective stories , allowed him to see that the general public was largely ignorant of the methods by which a simple substitution cryptogram can be solved , and he used this to his advantage . The sensation that Poe created with his cryptography stunts played a major role in popularizing cryptograms in newspapers and magazines . Poe had an influence on cryptography beyond increasing public interest during his lifetime . William Friedman , America 's foremost cryptologist , was heavily influenced by Poe . Friedman 's initial interest in cryptography came from reading `` The Gold - Bug '' as a child , an interest that he later put to use in deciphering Japan 's PURPLE code during World War II . In popular culture As a character Main articles : Edgar Allan Poe in popular culture and Edgar Allan Poe in television and film The historical Edgar Allan Poe has appeared as a fictionalized character , often representing the `` mad genius '' or `` tormented artist '' and exploiting his personal struggles . Many such depictions also blend in with characters from his stories , suggesting that Poe and his characters share identities . Often , fictional depictions of Poe use his mystery - solving skills in such novels as The Poe Shadow by Matthew Pearl . Preserved homes , landmarks , and museums The Edgar Allan Poe National Historic Site in Philadelphia is one of several preserved former residences of Poe . No childhood home of Poe is still standing , including the Allan family 's Moldavia estate . The oldest standing home in Richmond , the Old Stone House , is in use as the Edgar Allan Poe Museum , though Poe never lived there . The collection includes many items that Poe used during his time with the Allan family , and also features several rare first printings of Poe works . 13 West Range is the dorm room that Poe is believed to have used while studying at the University of Virginia in 1826 ; it is preserved and available for visits . Its upkeep is now overseen by a group of students and staff known as the Raven Society . The earliest surviving home in which Poe lived is in Baltimore , preserved as the Edgar Allan Poe House and Museum . Poe is believed to have lived in the home at the age of 23 when he first lived with Maria Clemm and Virginia ( as well as his grandmother and possibly his brother William Henry Leonard Poe ) . It is open to the public and is also the home of the Edgar Allan Poe Society . Of the several homes that Poe , his wife Virginia , and his mother - in - law Maria rented in Philadelphia , only the last house has survived . The Spring Garden home , where the author lived in 1843 -- 1844 , is today preserved by the National Park Service as the Edgar Allan Poe National Historic Site . Poe 's final home is preserved as the Edgar Allan Poe Cottage in the Bronx . In Boston , a commemorative plaque on Boylston Street is several blocks away from the actual location of Poe 's birth . The house which was his birthplace at 62 Carver Street no longer exists ; also , the street has since been renamed `` Charles Street South '' . A `` square '' at the intersection of Broadway , Fayette , and Carver Streets had once been named in his honor , but it disappeared when the streets were rearranged . In 2009 , the intersection of Charles and Boylston Streets ( two blocks north of his birthplace ) was designated `` Edgar Allan Poe Square '' . In March 2014 , fundraising was completed for construction of a permanent memorial sculpture at this location . The winning design by Stefanie Rocknak depicts a life - sized Poe striding against the wind , accompanied by a flying raven ; his suitcase lid has fallen open , leaving a `` paper trail '' of literary works embedded in the sidewalk behind him . The public unveiling on October 5 , 2014 was attended by former US poet laureate Robert Pinsky . Other Poe landmarks include a building in the Upper West Side where Poe temporarily lived when he first moved to New York . A plaque suggests that Poe wrote `` The Raven '' here . The bar still stands where legend says that Poe was last seen drinking before his death , in Fells Point in Baltimore . The drinking establishment is now known as `` The Horse You Came In On '' , and local lore insists that a ghost whom they call `` Edgar '' haunts the rooms above . Poe Toaster Main article : Poe Toaster For decades , every January 19 , a bottle of cognac and three roses were left at Poe 's original grave marker by an unknown visitor affectionately referred to as the `` Poe Toaster '' . On August 15 , 2007 , Sam Porpora , a former historian at the Westminster Church in Baltimore where Poe is buried , claimed that he had started the tradition in 1949 . Porpora said that the tradition began in order to raise money and enhance the profile of the church . His story has not been confirmed , and some details which he gave to the press are factually inaccurate . The Poe Toaster 's last appearance was on January 19 , 2009 , the day of Poe 's bicentennial .

-6440896179258143046	List of The Andy Griffith Show characters	List of the Andy Griffith Show characters - wikipedia List of the Andy Griffith Show characters The following is a list of characters of The Andy Griffith Show , an American sitcom television series , starring Andy Griffith . The series ran for eight seasons on CBS between October 3 , 1960 , and April 1 , 1968 . Main ( edit ) Character Seasons No. of episodes Actor Brief description Andy Taylor 1 -- 8 249 Andy Griffith Sheriff of Mayberry ; father ( widower ) of Opie Opie Taylor 1 -- 8 203 Ronny Howard Son of Andy Taylor Barney Fife 1 -- 5 6 - 8 as guest 141 Don Knotts Deputy Sheriff of Mayberry Aunt Bee 1 -- 8 175 Frances Bavier Andy 's paternal aunt Sheriff Andrew Jackson `` Andy '' Taylor is Sheriff and Justice of the Peace of Mayberry . He is genial , good - natured and endears himself to the townsfolk with an air of good will , polite charm and keeps the peace by using common sense . He refuses to wear a gun or formalize his uniform with a tie , as he feels a relaxed image makes him more approachable . Andy is a widower with a young son , Opie , and tries to raise him with good sense and good values . Also in his home is his paternal Aunt Bee who arrives in the home shortly after the previous housekeeper , Rose , marries and moves away . Although a widower , Andy has a steady string of girlfriends , but his longest - lasting relationship is with Helen Crump , Opie 's teacher , whom he eventually marries , moves out of Mayberry with , becomes a U.S. Postal Inspector , and moves back to Mayberry and runs for Sheriff . Opie Taylor is the son of Andy Taylor and his late wife . A good - hearted , normal little boy ( about six when the series began ) , most of Opie 's lessons come from his close relationship with his father and his Great Aunt Bee . He is not prone to get into trouble and spends a great deal of time around the jail . At one point , Aunt Bee considers this to be a bad influence , and when Opie runs away from home briefly , she relents and allows him to visit the jail after school on a conditional basis . Barney and Gomer Pyle Deputy Bernard Milton `` Barney '' Fife is Deputy Sheriff of Mayberry . Thin , wiry and high - strung , Barney fancies himself an expert lawman even though -- in reality -- he is actually a bumbling goof . In episodes 001 and 002 , Andy refers to him as `` Cousin Barney '' . In episode 025 , his middle name is said to be `` Oliver '' ; in episode 082 , his middle name according to his high school yearbook is `` Milton '' , in episode 157 ( season 5 ) his middle initial is repeated as `` P '' . He considers his position to be essential to keeping Mayberry safe . Even though the town has very little crime , he dubs the town : `` Mayberry , Gateway to Danger '' . Andy keeps Barney 's crime - fighting shenanigans to a reasonable level , but tries to never step on his ego . For safety reasons , he only allows Barney to carry one bullet , which he keeps in his shirt pocket until needed . Often , when the bullet is employed , Barney accidentally shoots the bullet into the floor , narrowly missing his own foot . Like Andy , he has a steady stream of girlfriends , but his longest lasting relationship is with Thelma Lou . In episode 028 , Barney has just met Thelma Lou at the `` Junction Diner '' . In season five , he takes a job as a detective in Raleigh , leaving Mayberry , but returns in seasons six through eight for guest appearances . Beatrice `` Aunt Bee '' Taylor is Andy 's paternal aunt . Aunt Bee is a spinster in her late - 50s who raised Andy . She was living alone in West Virginia when Andy invited her to come to live with him and Opie , after their housekeeper Rose got married and moved away . Aunt Bee is a motherly figure who takes the place of Opie 's late mother and dotes over the boy , caring for his welfare and taking care of Andy as well . She is prominent in town , a respected lady who spends her time helping with social functions and church events . She is prone to spend time with her friends gossiping about the town 's citizens .

Together they compose the legislature of the United States . The composition and of the House are established by Article One of the United States Constitution . The House is composed of Representatives who sit in congressional districts that are allocated to each of the 50 states on a basis of population as measured by the U.S. Census , with each district entitled to one representative . Since its inception in 1789 , all Representatives have been directly elected . The total number of voting representatives is fixed by law at 435 . As of the 2010 Census , the largest delegation is that of California , with fifty - three representatives . Seven states have the smallest delegation possible , a single representative : Alaska , Delaware , Montana , North Dakota , South Dakota , Vermont , and Wyoming . The House is charged with the passage of federal legislation , known as bills , which , after concurrence by the Senate , are sent to the President for consideration . In addition to this basic power , the House has certain exclusive powers which include the power to initiate all bills related to revenue , the impeachment of federal officers , who are sent to trial before the Senate , and in cases wherein no candidate receives a majority of electors for President , the duty falls upon the House to elect one of the top three recipients of electors for that office , with one vote given to each state for that purpose . The presiding officer is the Speaker of the House , who is elected by the members thereof and is therefore traditionally the leader of the controlling party . He and other floor leaders are chosen by the Democratic Caucus or the Republican Conference , depending on whichever party has more voting members . The House meets in the south wing of the United States Capitol .

After eight years of a more limited confederal government under the Articles , numerous political leaders such as James Madison and Alexander Hamilton initiated the Constitutional Convention in 1787 , which received the Confederation Congress 's sanction to `` amend the Articles of Confederation '' . All states except Rhode Island agreed to send delegates . Representation of all political parties as percentage in House of Representatives over time Historical graph of party control of the Senate and House as well as the presidency The issue of how to structure Congress was one of the most divisive among the founders during the Convention . Edmund Randolph 's Virginia Plan called for a bicameral Congress : the lower house would be `` of the people '' , elected directly by the people of the United States and representing public opinion , and a more deliberative upper house that would represent the individual states , and would be less susceptible to variations of mass sentiment , would be elected by the lower house . The House is referred to as the lower house , with the Senate being the upper house , although the United States Constitution does not use that terminology . Both houses ' approval is necessary for the passage of legislation . The Virginia Plan drew the support of delegates from large states such as Virginia , Massachusetts , and Pennsylvania , as it called for representation based on population . The smaller states , however , favored the New Jersey Plan , which called for a unicameral Congress with equal representation for the states . Eventually , the Convention reached the Connecticut Compromise or Great Compromise , under which one house of Congress ( the House of Representatives ) would provide representation proportional to each state 's population , whereas the other ( the Senate ) would provide equal representation amongst the states . The Constitution was ratified by the requisite number of states ( nine out of the 13 ) in 1788 , but its implementation was set for March 4 , 1789 . The House began work on April 1 , 1789 , when it achieved a quorum for the first time . During the first half of the 19th century , the House was frequently in conflict with the Senate over regionally divisive issues , including slavery . The North was much more populous than the South , and therefore dominated the House of Representatives . However , the North held no such advantage in the Senate , where the equal representation of states prevailed . Regional conflict was most pronounced over the issue of slavery . One example of a provision repeatedly supported by the House but blocked by the Senate was the Wilmot Proviso , which sought to ban slavery in the land gained during the Mexican -- American War . Conflict over slavery and other issues persisted until the Civil War ( 1861 -- 1865 ) , which began soon after several southern states attempted to secede from the Union . The war culminated in the South 's defeat and in the abolition of slavery . All southern senators except Andrew Johnson resigned their seats at the beginning of the war , and therefore the Senate did not hold the balance of power between North and South during the war . The years of Reconstruction that followed witnessed large majorities for the Republican Party , which many Americans associated with the Union 's victory in the Civil War and the ending of slavery . The Reconstruction period ended in about 1877 ; the ensuing era , known as the Gilded Age , was marked by sharp political divisions in the electorate . The Democratic Party and Republican Party each held majorities in the House at various times . Republican Speaker of the House , Thomas Brackett Reed ( 1895 -- 1899 ) The late 19th and early 20th centuries also saw a dramatic increase in the power of the Speaker of the House . The rise of the Speaker 's influence began in the 1890s , during the tenure of Republican Thomas Brackett Reed . `` Czar Reed '' , as he was nicknamed , attempted to put into effect his view that `` The best system is to have one party govern and the other party watch . '' The leadership structure of the House also developed during approximately the same period , with the positions of Majority Leader and Minority Leader being created in 1899 . While the Minority Leader was the head of the minority party , the Majority Leader remained subordinate to the Speaker . The Speakership reached its zenith during the term of Republican Joseph Gurney Cannon , from 1903 to 1911 . The powers of the Speaker included chairmanship of the influential Rules Committee and the ability to appoint members of other House committees . These powers , however , were curtailed in the `` Revolution of 1910 '' because of the efforts of Democrats and dissatisfied Republicans who opposed Cannon 's arguably heavy - handed tactics . The Democratic Party dominated the House of Representatives during the administration of President Franklin D. Roosevelt ( 1933 -- 1945 ) , often winning over two - thirds of the seats . Both Democrats and Republicans were in power at various times during the next decade . The Democratic Party maintained control of the House from 1955 until 1995 . In the mid-1970s , there were major reforms of the House , strengthening the power of sub-committees at the expense of committee chairs and allowing party leaders to nominate committee chairs . These actions were taken to undermine the seniority system , and to reduce the ability of a small number of senior members to obstruct legislation they did not favor . There was also a shift from the 1990s to greater control of the legislative program by the majority party ; the power of party leaders ( especially the Speaker ) grew considerably . The Republicans took control of the House in 1995 , under the leadership of Speaker Newt Gingrich . Gingrich attempted to pass a major legislative program , the Contract with America , on which the House Republicans had been elected , and made major reforms of the House , notably reducing the tenure of committee chairs to three two - year terms . Many elements of the Contract did not pass Congress , were vetoed by President Bill Clinton , or were substantially altered in negotiations with Clinton . The Republicans held on to the House until 2006 , when the Democrats won control and Nancy Pelosi was subsequently elected by the House as the first female Speaker . The Republicans retook the House in 2011 , with the largest shift of power since the 1930s . Membership , qualifications and apportionment ( edit ) This article is part of a series on the United States House of Representatives History of the United States House of Representatives Members Current members ( by seniority by age non-voting ) Former members Hill committees ( DCCC NRCC ) Congressional districts Speaker of the United States House of Representatives ( list ) Party leaders Democratic Caucus Republican Conference Politics and procedure Committee of the Whole Closed session ( list ) Saxbe fix Committees ( list ) Procedures Origination Clause Quorum call Unanimous consent Salaries Apportionment ( Huntington -- Hill method ) Redistricting Gerrymandering Articles of impeachment Self - executing rule Rules suspension General ticket Plural district Places United States Capitol House office buildings ( Cannon Ford Longworth Rayburn ) Apportionments ( edit ) Main article : United States congressional apportionment Under Article I , Section 2 of the Constitution , seats in the House of Representatives are apportioned among the states by population , as determined by the census conducted every ten years . Each state is entitled to at least one Representative , however small its population . The only constitutional rule relating to the size of the House states : `` The Number of Representatives shall not exceed one for every thirty Thousand , but each State shall have at Least one Representative . '' Congress regularly increased the size of the House to account for population growth until it fixed the number of voting House members at 435 in 1911 . In 1959 , upon the admission of Alaska and Hawaii , the number was temporarily increased to 437 ( seating one Representative from each of those states without changing existing apportionment ) , and returned to 435 four years later , after the reapportionment consequent to the 1960 census . The Constitution does not provide for the representation of the District of Columbia or of territories . The District of Columbia and the territories of Puerto Rico , American Samoa , Guam , the Northern Mariana Islands , and the U.S. Virgin Islands are each represented by one non-voting delegate . Puerto Rico elects a Resident Commissioner , but other than having a four - year term , the Resident Commissioner 's role is identical to the delegates from the other territories . The five Delegates and Resident Commissioner may participate in debates ; prior to 2011 , they were also allowed to vote in committees and the Committee of the Whole when their votes would not be decisive . Redistricting ( edit ) Main article : Redistricting States that are entitled to more than one Representative are divided into single - member districts . This has been a federal statutory requirement since 1967 . Prior to that law , general ticket representation was used by some states . States typically redraw district boundaries after each census , though they may do so at other times , such as the 2003 Texas redistricting . Each state determines its own district boundaries , either through legislation or through non-partisan panels . `` Malapportionment '' is unconstitutional and districts must be approximately equal in population ( see Wesberry v. Sanders ) . Additionally , Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 prohibits redistricting plans that are intended to , or have the effect of , discriminating against racial or language minority voters . Aside from malapportionment and discrimination against racial or language minorities , federal courts have allowed state legislatures to engage in gerrymandering for the benefit of political parties or incumbents . In a 1984 case , Davis v. Bandemer , the Supreme Court held that gerrymandered districts could be struck down on the basis of the Equal Protection Clause , but the Court did not articulate a standard for when districts are impermissibly gerrymandered . However , the Court overruled Davis in 2004 in Vieth v. Jubelirer , and Court precedent currently holds gerrymandering to be a political question . According to calculations made by Burt Neuborne using criteria set forth by the American Political Science Association , about 40 seats , less than 10 % of the House membership , are chosen through a genuinely contested electoral process , given partisan gerrymandering . Qualifications ( edit ) Article I , Section 2 of the Constitution sets three qualifications for representatives . Each representative must : ( 1 ) be at least twenty - five years old ; ( 2 ) have been a citizen of the United States for the past seven years ; and ( 3 ) be ( at the time of the election ) an inhabitant of the state he represents . Members are not required to live in the districts they represent , but they traditionally do . The age and citizenship qualifications for representatives are less than those for senators . The constitutional requirements of Article I , Section 2 for election to Congress are the maximum requirements that can be imposed on a candidate . Therefore , Article I , Section 5 , which permits each House to be the judge of the qualifications of its own members does not permit either House to establish additional qualifications . Likewise a State could not establish additional qualifications . Disqualification : under the Fourteenth Amendment , a federal or state officer who takes the requisite oath to support the Constitution , but later engages in rebellion or aids the enemies of the United States , is disqualified from becoming a representative . This post -- Civil War provision was intended to prevent those who sided with the Confederacy from serving . However , disqualified individuals may serve if they gain the consent of two - thirds of both houses of Congress . Elections ( edit ) All 435 voting seats of the current House shown grouped by state , largest to smallest Population per U.S. Representative allocated to each of the 50 states and D.C. , ranked by population . Since D.C. ( ranked 50th ) receives no voting seats in the House , its bar is absent . Current U.S. congressional districts Elections for representatives are held in every even - numbered year , on Election Day the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November . By law , Representatives must be elected from single - member districts . After a census is taken ( in a year ending in 0 ) , the year ending in 2 is the first year in which elections for U.S. House districts are based on that census ( with the Congress based on those districts starting its term on the following Jan. 3 ) . In most states , major party candidates for each district are nominated in partisan primary elections , typically held in spring to late summer . In some states , the Republican and Democratic parties choose their respective candidates for each district in their political conventions in spring or early summer , which often use unanimous voice votes to reflect either confidence in the incumbent or the result of bargaining in earlier private discussions . Exceptions can result in so - called floor fight -- convention votes by delegates , with outcomes that can be hard to predict . Especially if a convention is closely divided , a losing candidate may contend further by meeting the conditions for a primary election . The courts generally do not consider ballot access rules for independent and third party candidates to be additional qualifications for holding office and there are no federal regulations regarding ballot access . As a result , the process to gain ballot access varies greatly from state to state , and in the case of a third party may be affected by results of previous years ' elections . In 1967 , the United States Congress passed the Uniform Congressional District Act , which requires almost all representatives be elected from single - member - districts , Following the Wesberry v. Sanders decision , Congress was motivated by fears that courts would impose at - large plurality districts on states that did not redistrict to comply with the new mandates for districts roughly equal in population , and Congress also sought to prevent attempts by southern states to use such voting systems to dilute the vote of racial minorities . Several states have used multi-member districts in the past , although only two states ( Hawaii and Maine ) used multi-member districts in 1967 . Hawaii and Maine were made exempt from the Uniform Congressional District Act , and are free to use multi-member districts , although neither state chooses to do so . Louisiana is unique in that it holds an all - party `` primary election '' on the general Election Day with a subsequent runoff election between the top two finishers ( regardless of party ) if no candidate received a majority in the primary . The states of Washington and California now use a similar ( though not identical ) system to that used by Louisiana . Seats vacated during a term are filled through special elections , unless the vacancy occurs closer to the next general election date than a pre-established deadline . The term of a member chosen in a special election usually begins the next day , or as soon as the results are certified . Non-voting delegates ( edit ) Additionally , Washington D.C. and the five inhabited U.S. territories each elect a non-voting delegate . With the exception of the Resident Commissioner of Puerto Rico , each representative and delegate serves for a two - year term . They have a voice on the floor , but can not vote there . Terms ( edit ) Representatives and Delegates serve for two - year terms , while the Resident Commissioner serves for four years . The Constitution permits the House to expel a member with a two - thirds vote . In the history of the United States , only five members have been expelled from the House ; in 1861 , three were removed for supporting the Confederate states ' secession : John Bullock Clark ( D - MO ) , John William Reid ( D - MO ) and Henry Cornelius Burnett ( D - KY ) . Michael Myers ( D - PA ) was expelled after his criminal conviction for accepting bribes in 1980 , and James Traficant ( D - OH ) was expelled in 2002 following his conviction for corruption . The House also has the power to formally censure or reprimand its members ; censure or reprimand of a member requires only a simple majority , and does not remove that member from office . Comparison to the Senate ( edit ) As a check on the regional , popular , and rapidly changing politics of the House , the Senate has several distinct powers . For example , the `` advice and consent '' powers ( such as the power to approve treaties ) are a sole Senate privilege . The House , however , has the exclusive power to initiate bills for raising revenue , to impeach officials , and to choose the President in the event that a presidential candidate fails to get a majority of the Electoral College votes . The Senate and House are further differentiated by term lengths and the number of districts represented : the Senate has longer terms of six years , fewer members ( currently one hundred , two for each state ) , and ( in all but seven delegations ) larger constituencies per member . The Senate is informally referred to as the `` upper '' house , and the House of Representatives as the `` lower '' house . Salary and benefits ( edit ) Salaries ( edit ) As of December 2014 , the annual salary of each Representative is $ 174,000 . The Speaker of the House and the Majority and Minority Leaders earn more : $223,500 for the Speaker and $193,400 for their party leaders ( the same as Senate leaders ) . A cost - of - living - adjustment ( COLA ) increase takes effect annually unless Congress votes to not accept it . Congress sets members ' salaries ; however , the Twenty - seventh Amendment to the United States Constitution prohibits a change in salary ( but not COLA ) from taking effect until after the next election of the whole House . Representatives are eligible for retirement benefits after serving for five years . Outside pay is limited to 15 % of congressional pay , and certain types of income involving a fiduciary responsibility or personal endorsement are prohibited . Titles ( edit ) Representatives use the prefix `` The Honorable '' before their names . A member of the House is referred to as a representative , congressman , or congresswoman . While senators are members of Congress , the terms congressman and congresswoman are not generally used by them . Pension ( edit ) All members of Congress are automatically ( without the option of withdrawal ) enrolled in the Federal Employees Retirement System , a pension system also used for federal civil servants . They become eligible to receive benefits after five years of service ( two and one - half terms in the House ) . The FERS is composed of three elements : Social Security The FERS basic annuity , a monthly pension plan based on the number of years of service and the average of the three highest years of basic pay The Thrift Savings Plan , a 401 ( k ) - like defined contribution plan for retirement account into which participants can deposit up to a maximum of $18,000 in 2017 . Their employing agency matches employee contributions up to 5 % of pay . Members of Congress may retire with full benefits at age 62 after five years of service , at age 50 after twenty years of service , and at any age after twenty - five years of service . They may retire with reduced benefits at ages 55 to 59 after five years of service . Depending on birth year , they may receive a reduced pension after ten years of service if they are between 55 years and 57 years of age . Tax deductions ( edit ) Members of Congress are permitted to deduct up to $3,000 of living expenses per year incurred while living away from their district or home state . Health benefits ( edit ) Prior to 2014 , members of Congress and their staff had access to essentially the same health benefits as federal civil servants ; they could voluntarily enroll in the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program ( FEHBP ) , an employer - sponsored health insurance program , and were eligible to participate in other programs , such as the Federal Flexible Spending Account Program ( FSAFEDS ) . However , Section 1312 ( d ) ( 3 ) ( D ) of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act ( ACA ) provided that the only health plans that the federal government can make available to members of Congress and certain congressional staff are those created under the ACA or offered through a health care exchange . The Office of Personnel Management promulgated a final rule to comply with Section 1312 ( d ) ( 3 ) ( D ) . Under the rule , effective January 1 , 2014 , members and designated staff are no longer able to purchase FEHBP plans as active employees . However , if members enroll in a health plan offered through a Small Business Health Options Program ( SHOP ) exchange , they remain eligible for an employer contribution toward coverage , and members and designated staff who are eligible for retirement may enroll in a FEHBP plan upon retirement . The ACA and the final rule do not affect members ' or staffers ' eligibility for Medicare benefits . The ACA and the final rule also do not affect members ' and staffers ' eligibility for other health benefits related to federal employment , so current members and staff are eligible to participate in FSAFEDS ( which has three options within the program ) , the Federal Employees Dental and Vision Insurance Program , and the Federal Long Term Care Insurance Program . There is an Office of the Attending Physician at the U.S. Capitol , which current members may seek health care from for an annual fee . The attending physician provides routine exams , consultations , and certain diagnostics , and may write prescriptions ( although it does not dispense them ) . The office does not provide vision or dental care . Current members ( but not their dependents , and not former members ) may also receive medical and emergency dental care at military treatment facilities . There is no charge for outpatient care if it is provided in the National Capital Region , but members are billed at full reimbursement rates ( set by the Department of Defense ) for inpatient care . ( Outside the National Capital Region , charges are at full reimbursement rates for both inpatient and outpatient care ) . Personnel , mail and Office expenses ( edit ) House members are eligible for a Member 's Representational Allowance ( MRA ) to support them in their official and representational duties to their district . The MRA is calculated based on three components : one for personnel , one for official office expenses and one for official or franked mail . The personnel allowance is the same for all members ; the office and mail allowances vary based on the members ' district 's distance from Washington , D.C. , the cost of office space in the member 's district , and the number of non-business addresses in their district . These three components are used to calculate a single MRA that can fund any expense -- even though each component is calculated individually , the franking allowance can be used to pay for personnel expenses if the member so chooses . In 2011 this allowance averaged $1.4 million per member , and ranged from $1.35 to $1.67 million . The Personnel allowance was $944,671 per member in 2010 . Each member may employ no more than 18 permanent employees . Members ' employees ' salary is capped at $168,411 as of 2009 . Travel allowance ( edit ) Each member - elect and one staffer can be paid for one round trip between their home in their congressional district and Washington , D.C. for organization caucuses . Officers ( edit ) Member officials ( edit ) The party with a majority of seats in the House is known as the majority party . The next - largest party is the minority party . The Speaker , committee chairs , and some other officials are generally from the majority party ; they have counterparts ( for instance , the `` ranking members '' of committees ) in the minority party . Then House Speaker Nancy Pelosi , Then Majority Leader Steny Hoyer , and Then Education and Labor Committee Chairman George Miller confer with President Barack Obama at the Oval Office in 2009 . The Constitution provides that the House may choose its own Speaker . Although not explicitly required by the Constitution , every Speaker has been a member of the House . The Constitution does not specify the duties and powers of the Speaker , which are instead regulated by the rules and customs of the House . Speakers have a role both as a leader of the House and the leader of their party ( which need not be the majority party ; theoretically , a member of the minority party could be elected as Speaker with the support of a fraction of members of the majority party ) . Under the Presidential Succession Act ( 1947 ) , the Speaker is second in the line of presidential succession behind the Vice President . The Speaker is the presiding officer of the House but does not preside over every debate . Instead , s / he delegates the responsibility of presiding to other members in most cases . The presiding officer sits in a chair in the front of the House chamber . The powers of the presiding officer are extensive ; one important power is that of controlling the order in which members of the House speak . No member may make a speech or a motion unless s / he has first been recognized by the presiding officer . Moreover , the presiding officer may rule on a `` point of order '' ( a member 's objection that a rule has been breached ) ; the decision is subject to appeal to the whole House . Speakers serve as chairs of their party 's steering committee , which is responsible for assigning party members to other House committees . The Speaker chooses the chairmen of standing committees , appoints most of the members of the Rules Committee , appoints all members of conference committees , and determines which committees consider bills . Each party elects a floor leader , who is known as the Majority Leader or Minority Leader . The Minority Leader heads their party in the House , and the Majority Leader is their party 's second - highest - ranking official , behind the Speaker . Party leaders decide what legislation members of their party should either support or oppose . Each party also elects a Whip , who works to ensure that the party 's members vote as the party leadership desires . The current majority whip in the House of Representatives is Steve Scalise , who is a member of the Republican Party . The current minority whip is Steny Hoyer , who is a member of the Democratic Party . The whip is supported by chief deputy whips . In the 112th Congress , the Democratic Party has an additional Assistant Minority Leader , Jim Clyburn , who ranks between the whips and the caucus / conference chair . After the whips , the next ranking official in the House party 's leadership is the Party Conference Chair ( styled as the Republican Conference Chair and Democratic Caucus Chair ) . After the Conference Chair , there are differences between each party 's subsequent leadership ranks . After the Democratic Caucus Chair is the Campaign Committee Chair ( Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee ) , then the co-chairs of the Steering Committee . For the Republicans it is the Chair of the House Republican Policy Committee , followed by the Campaign Committee Chairman ( styled as the National Republican Congressional Committee ) . The chairs of House committees , particularly influential standing committees such as Appropriations , Ways and Means , and Rules , are powerful but not officially part of House leadership hierarchy . Until the post of Majority Leader was created , the Chair of Ways and Means was the de facto majority leader . Leadership and partisanship ( edit ) When the Presidency and Senate are controlled by a different party from the one controlling the House , the Speaker can become the de facto `` leader of the opposition '' . Some notable examples include Tip O'Neill in the 1980s , Newt Gingrich in the 1990s , and John Boehner and Paul Ryan in the 2010s . Since the Speaker is a partisan officer with substantial power to control the business of the House , the position is often used for partisan advantage . In the instance when the Presidency and both Houses of Congress are controlled by one party , the Speaker normally takes a low profile and defers to the President . For that situation the House Minority Leader can play the role of a de facto `` leader of the opposition '' , often more so than the Senate Minority Leader , due to the more partisan nature of the House and the greater role of leadership . Non-member officials ( edit ) The House is also served by several officials who are not members . The House 's chief such officer is the Clerk , who maintains public records , prepares documents , and oversees junior officials , including pages , until the junior position 's discontinuation in 2011 . The Clerk also presides over the House at the beginning of each new Congress pending the election of a Speaker . Another officer is the Chief Administrative Officer , responsible for the day - to - day administrative support to the House of Representatives . This includes everything from payroll to foodservice . The position of Chief Administrative Officer ( CAO ) was created by the 104th Congress following the 1994 mid-term elections , replacing the positions of Doorkeeper and Director of Non-Legislative and Financial Services ( created by the previous congress to administer the non-partisan functions of the House ) . The CAO also assumed some of the responsibilities of the House Information Services , which previously had been controlled directly by the Committee on House Administration , then headed by Representative Charlie Rose of North Carolina , along with the House `` Folding Room '' . The Chaplain leads the House in prayer at the opening of the day . There is also a Sergeant at Arms , who as the House 's chief law enforcement officer maintains order and security on House premises . Finally , routine police work is handled by the United States Capitol Police , which is supervised by the Capitol Police Board , a body to which the Sergeant at Arms belongs , and chairs in even - numbered years . Procedure ( edit ) Main article : Procedures of the United States House of Representatives Daily procedures ( edit ) Like the Senate , the House of Representatives meets in the United States Capitol in Washington , D.C. At one end of the chamber of the House is a rostrum from which the Speaker , Speaker Pro Tempore , or ( when in the Committee of the Whole ) the Chair presides . The lower tier of the rostrum is used by clerks and other officials . Members ' seats are arranged in the chamber in a semicircular pattern facing the rostrum and are divided by a wide central aisle . By tradition , Democrats sit on the left of the center aisle , while Republicans sit on the right , facing the presiding officer 's chair . Sittings are normally held on weekdays ; meetings on Saturdays and Sundays are rare . Sittings of the House are generally open to the public ; visitors must obtain a House Gallery pass from a congressional office . Sittings are broadcast live on television and have been streamed live on C - SPAN since March 19 , 1979 , and on HouseLive , the official streaming service operated by the Clerk , since the early 2010s . The procedure of the House depends not only on the rules , but also on a variety of customs , precedents , and traditions . In many cases , the House waives some of its stricter rules ( including time limits on debates ) by unanimous consent . A member may block a unanimous consent agreement ; in practice , objections are rare . The presiding officer , the Speaker of the House enforces the rules of the House , and may warn members who deviate from them . The Speaker uses a gavel to maintain order . The box in which legislation is placed to be considered by the House is called the hopper . In one of its first resolutions , the U.S. House of Representatives established the Office of the Sergeant at Arms . In an American tradition adopted from English custom in 1789 by the first Speaker of the House , Frederick Muhlenberg of Pennsylvania , the Mace of the United States House of Representatives is used to open all sessions of the House . It is also used during the inaugural ceremonies for all Presidents of the United States . For daily sessions of the House , the sergeant at Arms carries the mace in front of the Speaker in procession to the rostrum . It is placed on a green marble pedestal to the Speaker 's right . When the House is in committee , the mace is moved to a pedestal next to the desk of the Sergeant at Arms . The Constitution provides that a majority of the House constitutes a quorum to do business . Under the rules and customs of the House , a quorum is always assumed present unless a quorum call explicitly demonstrates otherwise . House rules prevent a member from making a point of order that a quorum is not present unless a question is being voted on . The presiding officer does not accept a point of order of no quorum during general debate , or when a question is not before the House . During debates , a member may speak only if called upon by the presiding officer . The presiding officer decides which members to recognize , and can therefore control the course of debate . All speeches must be addressed to the presiding officer , using the words `` Mr. Speaker '' or `` Madam Speaker '' . Only the presiding officer may be directly addressed in speeches ; other members must be referred to in the third person . In most cases , members do not refer to each other only by name , but also by state , using forms such as `` the gentleman from Virginia '' , `` the distinguished gentlewoman from California '' , or `` my distinguished friend from Alabama '' . There are 448 permanent seats on the House Floor and four tables , two on each side . These tables are occupied by members of the committee that have brought a bill to the floor for consideration and by the respective party leadership . Members address the House from microphones at any table or `` the well , '' the area immediately in front of the rostrum . Passage of legislation ( edit ) Per the constitution , the House determines the rules according to which it passes legislation . The rules are in principle open to change with each new Congress , but in practice each new session amends a standing set of rules built up over the history of the body in an early resolution published for public inspection . Before legislation reaches the floor of the House , the Rules Committee normally passes a rule to govern debate on that measure ( which then must be passed by the full House before it becomes effective ) . For instance , the committee determines if amendments to the bill are permitted . An `` open rule '' permits all germane amendments , but a `` closed rule '' restricts or even prohibits amendment . Debate on a bill is generally restricted to one hour , equally divided between the majority and minority parties . Each side is led during the debate by a `` floor manager '' , who allocates debate time to members who wish to speak . On contentious matters , many members may wish to speak ; thus , a member may receive as little as one minute , or even thirty seconds , to make his / her point . When debate concludes , the motion in question is put to a vote . In many cases , the House votes by voice vote ; the presiding officer puts the question , and members respond either `` yea '' or `` aye '' ( in favor of the motion ) or `` nay '' or `` no '' ( against the motion ) . The presiding officer then announces the result of the voice vote . A member may however challenge the presiding officer 's assessment and `` request the yeas and nays '' or `` request a recorded vote '' . The request may be granted only if it is seconded by one - fifth of the members present . In practice , however , members of congress second requests for recorded votes as a matter of courtesy . Some votes are always recorded , such as those on the annual budget . A recorded vote may be taken in one of three different ways . One is electronically . Members use a personal identification card to record their votes at 46 voting stations in the chamber . Votes are usually held in this way . A second mode of recorded vote is by teller . Members hand in colored cards to indicate their votes : green for `` yea '' , red for `` nay '' , and orange for `` present '' ( i.e. , to abstain ) . Teller votes are normally held only when electronic voting breaks down . Finally , the House may conduct a roll call vote . The Clerk reads the list of members of the House , each of whom announces their vote when their name is called . This procedure is only used rarely ( such as for the election of a Speaker ) because of the time consumed by calling over four hundred names . Voting traditionally lasts for , at most , fifteen minutes , but it may be extended if the leadership needs to `` whip '' more members into alignment . The 2003 vote on the prescription drug benefit was open for three hours , from 3 : 00 to 6 : 00 a.m. , to receive four additional votes , three of which were necessary to pass the legislation . The 2005 vote on the Central American Free Trade Agreement was open for one hour , from 11 : 00 p.m. to midnight . An October 2005 vote on facilitating refinery construction was kept open for forty minutes . Presiding officers may vote like other members . They may not , however , vote twice in the event of a tie ; rather , a tie vote defeats the motion . Committees ( edit ) Further information : United States congressional committee and List of current United States House of Representatives committees The House uses committees and their subcommittees for a variety of purposes , including the review of bills and the oversight of the executive branch . The appointment of committee members is formally made by the whole House , but the choice of members is actually made by the political parties . Generally , each party honors the preferences of individual members , giving priority on the basis of seniority . Historically , membership on committees has been in rough proportion to the party 's strength in the House as a whole , with two exceptions : on the Rules Committee , the majority party fills nine of the thirteen seats ; and on the Ethics Committee , each party has an equal number of seats . However , when party control in the House is closely divided , extra seats on committees are sometimes allocated to the majority party . In the 109th Congress , for example , the Republicans controlled about 53 % of the House as a whole , but had 54 % of the Appropriations Committee members , 55 % of the members on the Energy and Commerce Committee , 58 % of the members on the Judiciary Committee , and 69 % of the members on the Rules Committee . The largest committee of the House is the Committee of the Whole , which , as its name suggests , consists of all members of the House . The Committee meets in the House chamber ; it may consider and amend bills , but may not grant them final passage . Generally , the debate procedures of the Committee of the Whole are more flexible than those of the House itself . One advantage of the Committee of the Whole is its ability to include otherwise non-voting members of Congress . Most committee work is performed by twenty standing committees , each of which has jurisdiction over a specific set of issues , such as Agriculture or Foreign Affairs . Each standing committee considers , amends , and reports bills that fall under its jurisdiction . Committees have extensive powers with regard to bills ; they may block legislation from reaching the floor of the House . Standing committees also oversee the departments and agencies of the executive branch . In discharging their duties , standing committees have the power to hold hearings and to subpoena witnesses and evidence . The House also has one permanent committee that is not a standing committee , the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence , and from time to time may establish committees that are temporary and advisory in nature , such as the Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming . This latter committee , created in the 110th Congress and reauthorized for the 111th , has no jurisdiction over legislation and must be chartered anew at the start of every Congress . The House also appoints members to serve on joint committees , which include members of the Senate and House . Some joint committees oversee independent government bodies ; for instance , the Joint Committee on the Library oversees the Library of Congress . Other joint committees serve to make advisory reports ; for example , there exists a Joint Committee on Taxation . Bills and nominees are not referred to joint committees . Hence , the power of joint committees is considerably lower than those of standing committees . Each House committee and subcommittee is led by a chairman ( always a member of the majority party ) . From 1910 to the 1970s , committee chairs were powerful . Woodrow Wilson in his classic study , suggested : Power is nowhere concentrated ; it is rather deliberately and of set policy scattered amongst many small chiefs . It is divided up , as it were , into forty - seven seigniories , in each of which a Standing Committee is the court - baron and its chairman lord - proprietor . These petty barons , some of them not a little powerful , but none of them within the reach of the full powers of rule , may at will exercise almost despotic sway within their own shires , and may sometimes threaten to convulse even the realm itself . From 1910 to 1975 committee and subcommittee chairmanship was determined purely by seniority ; congressmembers sometimes had to wait 30 years to get one , but their chairship was independent of party leadership . The rules were changed in 1975 to permit party caucuses to elect chairmen , shifting power upward to the party leaders . In 1995 , Republicans under Newt Gingrich set a limit of three two - year terms for committee chairs . The chairman 's powers are extensive ; he controls the committee / subcommittee agenda , and may prevent the committee from dealing with a bill . The senior member of the minority party is known as the Ranking Member . In some committees like Appropriations , partisan disputes are few . Legislative functions ( edit ) Most bills may be introduced in either House of Congress . However , the Constitution states , `` All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives '' . As a result of the Origination Clause , the Senate can not initiate bills imposing taxes . This provision barring the Senate from introducing revenue bills is based on the practice of the British Parliament , in which only the House of Commons may originate such measures . Furthermore , congressional tradition holds that the House of Representatives originates appropriation bills . Although it can not originate revenue bills , the Senate retains the power to amend or reject them . Woodrow Wilson wrote the following about appropriations bills : ( T ) he constitutional prerogative of the House has been held to apply to all the general appropriations bills , and the Senate 's right to amend these has been allowed the widest possible scope . The upper house may add to them what it pleases ; may go altogether outside of their original provisions and tack to them entirely new features of legislation , altering not only the amounts but even the objects of expenditure , and making out of the materials sent them by the popular chamber measures of an almost totally new character . The approval of the Senate and the House of Representatives is required for a bill to become law . Both Houses must pass the same version of the bill ; if there are differences , they may be resolved by a conference committee , which includes members of both bodies . For the stages through which bills pass in the Senate , see Act of Congress . The President may veto a bill passed by the House and Senate . If he does , the bill does not become law unless each House , by a two - thirds vote , votes to override the veto . Checks and balances ( edit ) The Constitution provides that the Senate 's `` advice and consent '' is necessary for the President to make appointments and to ratify treaties . Thus , with its potential to frustrate Presidential appointments , the Senate is more powerful than the House . The Constitution empowers the House of Representatives to impeach federal officials for `` Treason , Bribery , or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors '' and empowers the Senate to try such impeachments . The House may approve `` articles of impeachment '' by a simple majority vote ; however , a two - thirds vote is required for conviction in the Senate . A convicted official is automatically removed from office and may be disqualified from holding future office under the United States . No further punishment is permitted during the impeachment proceedings ; however , the party may face criminal penalties in a normal court of law . In the history of the United States , the House of Representatives has impeached sixteen officials , of whom seven were convicted . ( Another , Richard Nixon , resigned after the House Judiciary Committee passed articles of impeachment but before a formal impeachment vote by the full House . ) Only two Presidents of the United States have ever been impeached : Andrew Johnson in 1868 and Bill Clinton in 1998 . Both trials ended in acquittal ; in Johnson 's case , the Senate fell one vote short of the two - thirds majority required for conviction . Under the Twelfth Amendment , the House has the power to elect the President if no presidential candidate receives a majority of votes in the Electoral College . The Twelfth Amendment requires the House to choose from the three candidates with the highest numbers of electoral votes . The Constitution provides that `` the votes shall be taken by states , the representation from each state having one vote . '' It is rare for no presidential candidate to receive a majority of electoral votes . In the history of the United States , the House has only had to choose a President twice . In 1800 , which was before the adoption of the Twelfth Amendment , it elected Thomas Jefferson over Aaron Burr . In 1824 , it elected John Quincy Adams over Andrew Jackson and William H. Crawford . If no presidential candidate receives a majority of the electoral votes , the Senate elects the Vice President from the two candidates with the highest numbers of electoral votes .

It resolved the delegates ' sharpest disagreement by prescribing a bicameral legislature with proportional representation in the House and equal state representation in the Senate .

William 's successful invasion of England with a Dutch fleet and army led to his ascension to the throne as William III of England jointly with his wife , Mary II , James 's daughter , after the Declaration of Right , leading to the Bill of Rights 1689 . King James 's policies of religious tolerance after 1685 met with increasing opposition from members of leading political circles , who were troubled by the King 's Catholicism and his close ties with France . The crisis facing the King came to a head in 1688 , with the birth of his son , James , on 10 June ( Julian calendar ) . This changed the existing line of succession by displacing the heir presumptive ( his 26 - year - old daughter Mary , a Protestant and the wife of William of Orange ) with young James as heir apparent . The establishment of a Roman Catholic dynasty in the kingdoms now seemed likely . Some Tory members of parliament worked with members of the opposition Whigs in an attempt to resolve the crisis by secretly initiating dialogue with William of Orange to come to England , outside the jurisdiction of the English Parliament . Stadtholder William , the de facto head of state of the Dutch United Provinces , feared a Catholic Anglo -- French alliance and had already been planning a military intervention in England . After consolidating political and financial support , William crossed the North Sea and English Channel with a large invasion fleet in November 1688 , landing at Torbay . After only two minor clashes between the two opposing armies in England , and anti-Catholic riots in several towns , James 's regime collapsed , largely because of a lack of resolve shown by the king . However , this was followed by the protracted Williamite War in Ireland and Dundee 's rising in Scotland . In England 's distant American colonies , the revolution led to the collapse of the Dominion of New England and the overthrow of the Province of Maryland 's government . Following a defeat of his forces at the Battle of Reading on 9 December , James and his wife Mary fled England ; James , however , returned to London for a two - week period that culminated in his final departure for France on 23 December . By threatening to withdraw his troops , William in February 1689 ( New Style Julian calendar ) convinced a newly chosen Convention Parliament to make him and his wife joint monarchs . The Revolution permanently ended any chance of Catholicism becoming re-established in England . For British Catholics its effects were disastrous both socially and politically : Catholics were denied the right to vote and sit in the Westminster Parliament for over a century ; they were also denied commissions in the army , and the monarch was forbidden to be Catholic or to marry a Catholic , this latter prohibition remaining in force until 2015 . The Revolution led to limited tolerance for Nonconformist Protestants , although it would be some time before they had full political rights . It has been argued , mainly by Whig historians , that James 's overthrow began modern English parliamentary democracy : the Bill of Rights 1689 has become one of the most important documents in the political history of Britain and never since has the monarch held absolute power . Internationally , the Revolution was related to the War of the Grand Alliance on mainland Europe . It has been seen as the last successful invasion of England . It ended all attempts by England in the Anglo - Dutch Wars of the 17th century to subdue the Dutch Republic by military force . However , the resulting economic integration and military co-operation between the English and Dutch navies shifted the dominance in world trade from the Dutch Republic to England and later to Great Britain . The expression `` Glorious Revolution '' was first used by John Hampden in late 1689 , and is an expression that is still used by the British Parliament . The Glorious Revolution is also occasionally termed the Bloodless Revolution , albeit inaccurately . The English Civil War ( also known as the Great Rebellion ) was still within living memory for most of the major English participants in the events of 1688 , and for them , in comparison to that war ( or even the Monmouth Rebellion of 1685 ) the deaths in the conflict of 1688 were mercifully few .

( November 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) James II & VII , King of England , Scotland and Ireland During his three - year reign , King James II became directly involved in the political battles in England between Catholicism and Protestantism , and between the concept of the divine right of kings and the political rights of the Parliament of England . James 's greatest political problem was his Catholicism , which left him alienated from both parties in England . The low church Whigs had failed in their attempt to pass the Exclusion Bill to exclude James from the throne between 1679 and 1681 , and James 's supporters were the high church Anglican Tories . In Scotland , his supporters in the Parliament of Scotland stepped up attempts to force the Covenanters to renounce their faith and accept episcopalian rule of the church by the monarch . When James inherited the English throne in 1685 , he had much support in the ' Loyal Parliament ' , which was composed mostly of Tories . His Catholicism was of concern to many , but the fact that he had no son , and his daughters , Mary and Anne , were Protestants , was a `` saving grace '' . James 's attempt to relax the Penal Laws alienated his natural supporters , however , because the Tories viewed this as tantamount to disestablishment of the Church of England . Abandoning the Tories , James looked to form a ' King 's party ' as a counterweight to the Anglican Tories , so in 1687 James supported the policy of religious toleration and issued the Declaration of Indulgence . The majority of Irish people backed James II for this reason and also because of his promise to the Irish Parliament of a greater future autonomy . By allying himself with the Catholics , Dissenters , and Nonconformists , James hoped to build a coalition that would advance Catholic emancipation . In May 1686 , James decided to obtain from the English courts of the common law a ruling that affirmed his power to dispense with Acts of Parliament . He dismissed judges who disagreed with him on this matter as well as the Solicitor General Heneage Finch . Eleven out of the twelve judges ruled in favour of dispensing power . When Henry Compton , the Bishop of London , did not ban John Sharp from preaching after he gave an anti-Catholic sermon , James ordered his removal . In April 1687 , James ordered the fellows of Magdalen College , Oxford to elect a Catholic , Anthony Farmer , as their president . The fellows believed Farmer ineligible under the college 's statutes and so elected John Hough instead . The college statutes required them to fill the vacancy within a certain time and so could not wait for a further royal nomination . James refused to view Hough 's election as valid and told the fellows to elect the Bishop of Oxford . James responded by sending some ecclesiastical commissioners to hold a visitation and install him as president . The fellows then agreed to the Bishop of Oxford as their president but James required that they admit they had been in the wrong and ask for his pardon . When they refused most of the fellows were ejected and replaced by Catholics . In 1687 , James prepared to pack Parliament with his supporters so that it would repeal the Test Act and the penal laws . James was convinced by addresses from Dissenters that he had their support and so could dispense with relying on Tories and Anglicans . James instituted a wholesale purge of those in offices under the crown opposed to James 's plan . In August the lieutenancy was remodelled and in September over one thousand members of the city livery companies were ejected . In October James gave orders for the lords lieutenants in the provinces to provide three standard questions to all members of the Commission of the peace : would they consent to the repeal of the Test Act and the penal laws ; would they assist candidates who would do so ; and they were requested to accept the Declaration of Indulgence . In December it was announced that all the offices of deputy lieutenants and Justices of the Peace would be revised . Therefore , during the first three months of 1688 , hundreds of those who gave hostile replies to the three questions asked were dismissed . More far - reaching purges were applied to the towns : in November a regulating committee was founded to operate the purges . Corporations were purged by agents given wide discretionary powers in an attempt to create a permanent royal electoral machine . Finally , on 24 August 1688 , James ordered writs to be issued for a general election . Group portrait of the Seven Bishops whom James ordered imprisoned in the Tower of London in 1688 , but who were acquitted of charges of seditious libel . James also created a large standing army and employed Catholics in positions of power within it . To his opponents in Parliament this seemed like a prelude to arbitrary rule , so James prorogued Parliament without gaining Parliament 's consent . At this time , the English regiments of the army were encamped at Hounslow , near the capital . It was feared that the location was intended to overawe the City . The army in Ireland was purged of Protestants , who were replaced with Catholics , and by 1688 James had more than 34,000 men under arms in his three kingdoms . In April 1688 , James re-issued the Declaration of Indulgence and ordered all clergymen to read it in their churches . When the Archbishop of Canterbury , William Sancroft , and six other bishops ( the Seven Bishops ) wrote to James asking him to reconsider his policies , they were arrested on charges of seditious libel , but at trial they were acquitted to the cheers of the London crowd . Matters came to a head in June 1688 , when the King had a son , James ; until then , the throne would have passed to his Protestant daughter , Mary . The prospect of a Catholic dynasty in the kingdoms of England , Scotland and Ireland was now likely . Conspiracy ( edit ) Mary had a husband , her cousin William Henry of Orange . Both were Protestants and grandchildren of Charles I of England . Before the birth of James 's son on 10 June , William had been third in the line of succession . However , there was a strong faction at the English court , headed by Robert Spencer , 2nd Earl of Sunderland , proposing that Mary and William , because of their anti-Catholic position , should be replaced by some Catholic French heir . William was also stadtholder of the main provinces of the Dutch Republic , then in the preliminary stages of joining the War of the Grand Alliance against France , in a context of international tensions caused by the revocation by Louis XIV of the Edict of Nantes and the disputed succession of Cologne and the Electorate of the Palatinate . William had already acquired the reputation of being the main champion in Europe of the Protestant cause against Catholicism and French absolutism ; in the developing English crisis he saw an opportunity to prevent an Anglo - French alliance and bring England to the anti-French side , by carrying out a military intervention directed against James . This suited the desires of several English politicians who intended to depose James . It is still a matter of debate whether the initiative for the conspiracy was taken by the English or by the stadtholder and his wife . William had been trying to influence English politics for well over a year , letting Grand Pensionary Gaspar Fagel publish an open letter to the English people in November 1687 deploring the religious policy of James , which action had generally been interpreted as a covert bid for kingship . William III , King of England , Scotland and Ireland , stadtholder of Guelders , Holland , Zealand , Utrecht and Overijssel Since he had become king the relationship between James and his nephew and son - in - law had gradually deteriorated . Initially William welcomed the promise of a less pro-French policy . In 1685 he sent the Scottish and English mercenary regiments of his army to England to assist in putting down the Monmouth Rebellion . Soon James 's policy of religious tolerance caused tensions to rise between them . William assumed it was but the first step towards a total re-Catholicisation of England and was unable to explain how James could hope to achieve this goal unless he had concluded a secret alliance with France . James 's refusal to enter any anti-French coalition and his efforts to reorganise the Royal Navy increased William 's suspicions . In the previous years the French navy had grown significantly in strength and the Dutch Republic would no longer be able to resist a combined Anglo - French attack . William feared that even English neutrality would not suffice and that control over the Royal Navy was a prerequisite for a successful naval campaign against France . In November 1686 James had wished to gain William 's support for the repeal of the Test Acts , as this would have delivered a blow to the English opposition . The Quaker William Penn was sent to The Hague but William opposed repeal . William 's envoy Everhard van Weede Dijkvelt visited England between February and May 1687 ( N.S. ) , instructed to persuade James to help contain French aggression . William also instructed Dijkvelt to let it be known that he would support the Church of England ; that he was not a Presbyterian ; to persuade the Dissenters not to support James and to reassure moderate Catholics . After having been assured by James that all rumours about a French alliance were malevolent fabrications , Dijkvelt returned to the Republic , with letters of varying importance from leading English statesmen . James tried again to gain William 's support but William responded by advising James to keep to the law and not try to extend his prerogative powers . In August 1687 Count William Nassau de Zuylestein was sent to England , ostensibly to send condolences due to the death of the queen 's mother . Zuylestein was sent in part to see how successful , or amenable , James 's packed Parliament would be , and have discussions with English statesmen , with Zuylestein sending letters from them back to William . The correspondence between William and the English politicians was , at first , sent by ordinary post to genuine addresses in either country and then distributed . Devices were used such as ending a postscript with `` etc . '' , which meant spaces were actually written in white or invisible ink . However , as the conspiracy neared completion in 1688 , the English government sometimes disrupted this correspondence by holding up the whole mail delivery system . In another method to keep this clandestine correspondence flowing , letters were sent in merchant ships between London and Amsterdam or Rotterdam , with outward bound letters often put on board below Gravesend , after the final customs clearance . Also , couriers for the purpose were sometimes used , and all Dutch diplomats travelling to and from either country carried the correspondence . Shortly before the invasion , when rapid delivery and secrecy were essential , fast yachts and small vessels were used for special courier services . The English government intercepted very few of these means of communication . It has been suggested that the crisis caused by the prospect of a new Catholic heir made William decide to invade the next summer as early as November 1687 , but this is disputed . It is certain however that in April 1688 , when France and England concluded a naval agreement stipulating that the French would finance an English squadron in The Channel , which seemed to be the beginning of a formal alliance , he seriously began to prepare for a military intervention and seek political and financial support for such an undertaking . William seeks English commitment to an invasion ( edit ) William laid careful plans over a number of months for an invasion , which he hoped to execute in September 1688 . William would not invade England without assurances of English support , and so in April , he asked for a formal invitation to be issued by a group of leading English statesmen . Gilbert Burnet recorded a conversation at the end of April between William and Admiral Edward Russell : So Russell put the Prince to explain himself what he intended to do . The Prince answered , that , if he was invited by some men of the best interest , and the most valued in the nation , who should both in their own name , and in the name of others who trusted them , invite him to come and rescue the nation and the religion , he believed he could be ready by the end of September to come over . -- Gilbert Burnet . Henry Sydney , author of the Invitation to William , which was signed by six noblemen ( both Whigs and Tories ) and one bishop . He has been described as `` the great wheel on which the Revolution rolled '' . In May , Russell told William that the English opposition to James would not wait any longer for help and they would rise against James in any event . William feared that if he did not now head the conspiracy the English would set up a republic , even more inimical to the Dutch state . In June , William sent Count Zuylestein to England , ostensibly to congratulate James on the birth of the Prince of Wales but in reality to communicate with William 's associates . Only after the Prince of Wales had been born in June , however , and many suspected he was supposititious , did the Immortal Seven ( who consisted of one bishop and six nobles ) decide to comply , with the letter to William dated 18 June ( Julian calendar ) , reaching him in The Hague on 30 June , and dispatched by Rear Admiral Herbert , disguised as a common sailor . The Seven consisted of Lord Shrewsbury , Lord Devonshire , Lord Danby , Lord Lumley , Henry Compton , Edward Russell , and Henry Sydney . The invitation declared : We have great reason to believe , we shall be every day in a worse condition than we are , and less able to defend ourselves , and therefore we do earnestly wish we might be so happy as to find a remedy before it be too late for us to contribute to our own deliverance ... the people are so generally dissatisfied with the present conduct of the government , in relation to their religion , liberties and properties ( all which have been greatly invaded ) , and they are in such expectation of their prospects being daily worse , that your Highness may be assured , there are nineteen parts of twenty of the people throughout the kingdom , who are desirous of a change ; and who , we believe , would willingly contribute to it , if they had such a protection to countenance their rising , as would secure them from being destroyed . -- invitation by The Seven . The Seven went on to claim that `` much the greatest part of the nobility and gentry '' were dissatisfied and would rally to William , and that James 's army `` would be very much divided among themselves ; many of the officers being so discontented that they continue in their service only for a subsistence ... and very many of the common soldiers do daily shew such an aversion to the Popish religion , that there is the greatest probability imaginable of great numbers of deserters ... and amongst the seamen , it is almost certain , there is not one in ten who would do them any service in such a war '' . The Seven believed that the situation would be much worse before another year due to James 's plans to remodel the army by the means of a packed Parliament or , should the parliamentary route fail , through violent means which would `` prevent all possible means of relieving ourselves '' . The Seven also promised to rally to William upon his landing in England and would `` do all that lies in our power to prepare others to be in as much readiness as such an action is capable of '' . Meanwhile , William 's confidante Willem Bentinck launched a propaganda campaign in England . In the numerous pamphlets distributed , William was presented in the best possible light ; as a true Stuart yet blessedly free from the usual Stuart vices of crypto - Catholicism , absolutism , and debauchery . Much of the later `` spontaneous '' support for William had been carefully organised by Bentinck and his agents . In August , it became clear that William had surprisingly strong support within the English army , a situation brought about by James himself . In January 1688 he had forbidden any of his subjects to serve the Dutch and had demanded that the Republic dissolve its six mercenary Scottish and English regiments . When this was refused , he asked that at least those willing would be released from their martial oath to be free to return to Britain . To this William consented as it would purify his army of Jacobite elements . In total 104 officers and 44 soldiers returned . The officers were enlisted within the British armies and so favoured that the established officer corps began to fear for its position . On 14 August Lord Churchill wrote to William : `` I owe it to God and my country to put my honour into the hands of Your Highness '' . Nothing comparable happened within the Royal Navy , however ; claims after the event by certain captains that they had somehow prevented the English fleet from engaging seem to have been little more than attempts at self - aggrandisement . Military and financial support ( edit ) For William the English problem was inextricably intertwined with the situation in Germany . Only if the attention of Louis XIV was directed to the east could William hope to intervene in England without French interference . For this it was essential that Austria continued opposing the French demands regarding Cologne and the Palatinate . In May , William sent an envoy , Johann von Görtz , privy councillor of Hesse - Cassel , to Vienna to ensure secretly the support of the Holy Roman Emperor , Leopold I. Learning that William promised not to persecute the Catholics in England , the emperor approved of the expedition , promising in turn to try making peace with the Ottoman Empire to free his forces for a campaign in the West ; on 4 September 1688 he would join an alliance with the Republic against France . The Duke of Hanover , Ernest Augustus , and the Elector of Saxony , John George III , assured William that they would remain neutral , though it had been feared they would take the French side . Francisco Lopes Suasso , who partly financed the invasion The next concern was to assemble a powerful invasion force -- contrary to the wishes of the English conspirators , who predicted that a token force would be sufficient . For this William needed funding by the city of Amsterdam , then the world 's main financial centre . In earlier years Amsterdam had been strongly pro-French , often forcing William to moderate his policies , but a tariff war waged by Louis from 1687 against the Republic and French import limitations on herring , a major Dutch export , had outraged the wealthy merchants . Nevertheless , only after secret and difficult negotiations by Bentinck with the hesitant Amsterdam burgomasters during June could 260 transports be hired . Additionally , the burghers were uneasy about the prospect of denuding their homeland of its defences by sending the field army -- roughly half of the total peace - time strength of the Dutch States Army of about 30,000 -- overseas . Bentinck , who had already been sent in May to Brandenburg to recruit , but without much result , therefore negotiated contracts from 20 July ( Gregorian calendar ) for 13,616 German mercenaries from Brandenburg , Württemberg , Hesse - Cassel , and Celle to man Dutch border fortresses in order to free an equal number of Dutch elite mercenary troops for use against England . As the Dutch would typically double or triple their total army strength in wartime , the numbers were low enough to be explained as a limited precaution against French aggression . Shortly afterwards , Marshal Frederick Schomberg was instructed by William to prepare for a Western campaign . Further financial support was obtained from the most disparate sources : the Jewish banker Francisco Lopes Suasso lent two million guilders ; when asked what security he desired , Suasso answered : `` If you are victorious , you will surely repay me ; if not , the loss is mine . '' Even Pope Innocent XI , an inveterate enemy of Louis XIV of France , provided a loan to William , though a relation with the invasion has been denied . Total costs were seven million guilders , four million of which would ultimately be paid for by a state loan . In the summer the Dutch navy was expanded to 9000 sailors on the pretext of fighting the Dunkirkers . The standard summer equipment of twenty warships was secretly doubled . On 13 July 1688 ( Gregorian calendar ) it was decided to build 21 new warships . The final decision to invade is taken ( edit ) Despite all the preparations , William had great trouble convincing the Dutch class of city and provincial rulers , the regents , that such an expensive expedition was really necessary . Also , he personally feared that the French might attack the Republic through Flanders when its army was tied up in England . One of the `` Seven '' , Lord Danby , suggested postponing the invasion until the following year . By early September , William was on the brink of cancelling the entire expedition when French policy played into his hand . In Germany , matters had come to a head . The Pope had refused to confirm Louis 's favourite candidate for the bishopric of Cologne , William Egon of Fürstenberg . Enraged , the French king decided to execute a lightning campaign into Germany before the emperor could shift his troops to the West . Louis also hoped to keep his Turkish ally in the war this way . For the immediate future James had to hold his own , something Louis expected him to be quite capable of , especially if the Dutch were intimidated . On 9 September ( Gregorian calendar ) the French envoy Jean Antoine de Mesmes , the Comte d'Avaux , handed two letters from the French king , who had known of the invasion plans since May , to the States General of the Netherlands . In the first they were warned not to attack James . In the second they were advised not to interfere with the French policy in Germany . James hurriedly distanced himself from the first message , trying to convince the States General that there was no secret Anglo - French alliance against them . This had precisely the opposite effect : many members became extremely suspicious . The second message proved that the main French effort was directed to the east , not the north , so there was no immediate danger of a French invasion for the Republic itself . From 22 September , Louis XIV seized all Dutch ships present in French ports , totalling about a hundred vessels , apparently proving that real war with France was imminent , though Louis had meant it to be a mere warning . On 26 September the powerful city council of Amsterdam decided to officially support the invasion . On 27 September Louis crossed the Rhine into Germany to attack Philippsburg and William began to move the Dutch field army from the eastern borders , where it had trained on the Mookerheide , to the coast , even though most of the new mercenaries had not yet arrived . On 29 September the States of Holland , the government of the most important Dutch province , fearing a French - English alliance , gathered in secret session and approved the operation , agreeing to make the English `` King and Nation live in a good relation , and useful to their friends and allies , and especially to this State '' . They accepted William 's argument that a preventive strike was necessary to avoid a repeat of the events of 1672 , when England and France had jointly attacked the Republic , `` an attempt to bring this state to its ultimate ruin and subjugation , as soon as they find the occasion '' . William denied any intention `` to remove the King from the throne or become master of England '' . The States ordered a Dutch fleet of 53 warships to escort the troop transports . This fleet was in fact commanded by Lieutenant - Admiral Cornelis Evertsen the Youngest on the Cortgene and Vice-Admiral Philips van Almonde on the Provincie Utrecht but in consideration of English sensitivities placed , on 6 October , under the nominal command of Rear - Admiral Herbert , who for the occasion was appointed Lieutenant - Admiral - General , i.e. acting supreme commander , of the Dutch navy . He sailed on the Leyden , accompanied by Lieutenant - Admiral Willem Bastiaensz Schepers , the Rotterdam shipping magnate who had organised the transport fleet . Though William was himself Admiral - General of the Republic , he , as was usual , abstained from operational command , sailing conspicuously on the new frigate Den Briel . The States General allowed the core regiments of the Dutch field army to participate under command of Marshall Schomberg . Despite being assisted in it by the regular Dutch fleet and field army , his attempt to change the situation in England was , as the States General made explicit , officially a private family affair of William , merely acting in his capacity of concerned nephew and son - in - law to James , not an undertaking of the Dutch Republic as such . Invasion ( edit ) Embarkation of the army and the Declaration of the Hague ( edit ) Equestrian portrait of William III by Jan Wyck , commemorating the landing at Brixham , Torbay , 5 November 1688 The Dutch preparations , though carried out with great speed , could not remain secret . The English envoy Ignatius White , the Marquess d'Albeville , warned his country : `` an absolute conquest is intended under the specious and ordinary pretences of religion , liberty , property and a free Parliament ... '' . Louis XIV threatened the Dutch with an immediate declaration of war , should they carry out their plans . Embarkations , started on 22 September ( Gregorian calendar ) , had been completed on 8 October , and the expedition was that day openly approved by the States of Holland ; the same day James issued a proclamation to the English nation that it should prepare for a Dutch invasion to ward off conquest . On 30 September / 10 October ( Julian / Gregorian calendars ) William issued the Declaration of The Hague ( actually written by Fagel ) , of which 60,000 copies of the English translation by Gilbert Burnet were distributed after the landing in England , in which he assured that his only aim was to maintain the Protestant religion , install a free parliament and investigate the legitimacy of the Prince of Wales . He would respect the position of James . William declared : It is both certain and evident to all men , that the public peace and happiness of any state or kingdom can not be preserved , where the Laws , Liberties , and Customs , established by the lawful authority in it , are openly transgressed and annulled ; more especially where the alteration of Religion is endeavoured , and that a religion , which is contrary to law , is endeavoured to be introduced ; upon which those who are most immediately concerned in it are indispensably bound to endeavour to preserve and maintain the established Laws , Liberties and customs , and , above all , the Religion and Worship of God , that is established among them ; and to take such an effectual care , that the inhabitants of the said state or kingdom may neither be deprived of their Religion , nor of their Civil Rights . -- William of Orange . William went on to condemn James 's advisers for overturning the religion , laws , and liberties of England , Scotland , and Ireland by the use of the suspending and dispensing power ; the establishment of the `` manifestly illegal '' commission for ecclesiastical causes and its use to suspend the Bishop of London and to remove the Fellows of Magdalen College , Oxford . William also condemned James 's attempt to repeal the Test Acts and the penal laws through pressuring individuals and waging an assault on parliamentary boroughs , as well as his purging of the judiciary . James 's attempt to pack Parliament was in danger of removing `` the last and great remedy for all those evils '' . `` Therefore '' , William continued , `` we have thought fit to go over to England , and to carry over with us a force sufficient , by the blessing of God , to defend us from the violence of those evil Counsellors ... this our Expedition is intended for no other design , but to have , a free and lawful Parliament assembled as soon as is possible '' . On 4 / 14 October William responded to the allegations by James in a second declaration , denying any intention to become king or conquer England . Whether he had any at that moment is still controversial . The swiftness of the embarkations surprised all foreign observers . Louis had in fact delayed his threats against the Dutch until early September because he assumed it then would be too late in the season to set the expedition in motion anyway , if their reaction proved negative ; typically such an enterprise would take at least some months . Being ready after the last week of September / first week of October would normally have meant that the Dutch could have profited from the last spell of good weather , as the autumn storms tend to begin in the third week of that month . This year they came early however . For three weeks the invasion fleet was prevented by adverse south - westerly gales from departing from the naval port of Hellevoetsluis and Catholics all over the Netherlands and the British kingdoms held prayer sessions that this `` popish wind '' might endure . However , on 14 / 24 October it became the famous `` Protestant Wind '' by turning to the east . English naval strategy ( edit ) James only in late August seriously began to consider the possibility of a Dutch invasion and then overestimated the size of the naval force the Dutch would bring against him . He assumed they would equip their full battle fleet , which he himself would be unable to match for financial reasons : in October about thirty English ships - of - the - line had been assembled , all third rates or fourth rates , while heavier vessels remained laid up . Fearing a surprise attack , he declined to position this fleet at The Downs , for striking into the southern North Sea or the Channel the most convenient location , but also a very vulnerable one . When Admiral George Legge , 1st Baron Dartmouth decided to place his fleet at the Gunfleet near the Medway , in a rather withdrawn location , James therefore merely suggested to bring the fleet farther out , though he well understood it otherwise risked becoming locked up in the Thames estuary by the same easterly wind that would allow the Dutch to cross . This was influenced by his belief the Dutch might well attack France instead and his expectation that they would first seek a naval victory before daring to invade -- and that it thus would be advantageous to refuse battle . Indeed , it had originally been the Dutch intention to defeat the English first to free the way for the transport fleet -- though they too , to lower the cost of the invasion , had not activated any heavier ships -- but because it was now so late in the season and conditions on board deteriorated rapidly , they decided to sail in convoy and , if possible , avoid battle . Crossing and landing ( edit ) William boarding the Brill On 16 / 26 October William boarded his ship , the Den Briel ( Brill in English ) . His standard was hoisted , displaying the arms of Nassau quartered with those of England . The words Pro Religione et Libertate ( `` For Liberty and ( the Protestant ) Religion '' ) , the slogan of William 's ancestor William the Silent while leading the Dutch Revolt against Catholic Spain , were shown next to the House of Orange 's motto , Je maintiendrai ( `` I will maintain '' ) . William 's fleet , which with about 40,000 men aboard was roughly twice the size of the Spanish Armada -- and assembled in a tenth of the time -- consisted of 463 ships . Among these were 49 warships of more than twenty cannon ( eight could count as third rates of 60 -- 68 cannon , nine were frigates ) , 28 galliots , nine fireships , 76 fluyts to carry the soldiers , 120 small transports to carry five thousand horses , about seventy supply vessels and sixty fishing vessels serving as landing craft . Most of the warships had been provided by the Admiralty of Amsterdam . On 19 / 29 October William 's fleet departed from Hellevoetsluis . The fleet was approximately halfway between the Republic and England when the wind changed to the northwest and a gale scattered the fleet , with the Brill returning to Hellevoetsluis on 21 / 31 October . Despite suffering from sea - sickness William refused to go ashore and the fleet reassembled , having lost only one ship that grounded , though about a thousand crippled horses had been thrown into the sea . Press reports were released that deliberately exaggerated the damage and claimed the expedition would be postponed till the spring . English naval command now considered to try blockading Hellevoetsluis but decided against it because it was feared that the English fleet would founder on the Dutch coast , a dangerous lee shore for a blocking force , by the stormy weather . Taking advantage of a wind again turned to the east , resupplied and re-equipped with new horses , the invasion fleet departed again on 1 / 11 November and sailed north in the direction of Harwich where Bentinck had a landing site prepared . The fleet changed course to the south however when the wind turned more to the north ; it has been suggested that the initial move to the north was a feint and indeed James diverted some of his forces in that direction . Thus they passed twice in sight of the English fleet , which was unable to intercept because of the adverse wind and an unfavourable tide . On 3 / 13 November the invasion fleet entered the English Channel through the Strait of Dover in an enormous square formation , 25 ships deep , the right and left of the fleet saluting Dover and Calais simultaneously , to show off its size . The troops were lined up on deck , firing musket volleys , with full colours flying and the military bands playing . Rapin de Thoyras , who was on board one of the ships , described it as the most magnificent and affecting spectacle that was ever seen by human eyes . William intended to land at Torbay but due to fog the fleet sailed past it by mistake . The wind made a return impossible and Plymouth was unsuitable as it had a garrison . At this point , with the English fleet in pursuit , Russell told Burnet : `` You may go to prayers , Doctor . All is over '' . At that moment however the wind changed and the fog lifted , enabling the fleet to sail into Torbay , near Brixham , Devon . William came ashore on 5 / 15 November . When Burnet was ashore he hastened to William and eagerly enquired what William now intended to do . William regarded the interference in military matters by non-military personnel with disgust but he was in good humour at this moment and responded with a delicate reproof : `` Well , Doctor , what do you think of predestination now ? '' The English squadron under Lord Dartmouth was forced by the same change in wind to shelter in Portsmouth harbour . During the next two days William 's army disembarked in calm weather . William brought over 11,212 horse and foot . William 's cavalry and dragoons amounted to 3,660 . His artillery train contained 21 24 - pounder cannon . Including the supply train , his force consisted of about 15,000 men , compared to James 's total forces of about 30,000 . He also brought 20,000 stand of arms to equip his English supporters . The Dutch army was composed mostly of foreign mercenaries ; there were Dutch , Scots , English , German , Swiss , and Swedish regiments , even Laplanders as well as `` 200 Blacks brought from the Plantations of the Netherlands in America '' , thus from the colony of Surinam . Many of the mercenaries were Catholic . William had his personal guard regiment with him , the Dutch Blue Guards . In response to the threat James had raised five new regiments of foot and five of horse , as well as bringing in Scottish and Irish soldiers . Louis XIV also sent James 300,000 livres . The French fleet remained at the time concentrated in the Mediterranean , to assist a possible attack on the Papal State . Louis delayed his declaration of war until 16 / 26 November hoping at first that their involvement in a protracted English civil war would keep the Dutch from interfering with his German campaign . The same day a second attempt by Legge to attack the landing site again failed by an adverse southwestern gale . The Dutch call their fleet action the Glorieuze Overtocht , the `` Glorious Crossing '' . William consolidates his position ( edit ) William considered his veteran army to be sufficient in size to defeat any forces ( all rather inexperienced ) that James could throw against him , but it had been decided to avoid the hazards of battle and maintain a defensive attitude in the hope James 's position might collapse by itself . Thus he landed far away from James 's army , expecting that his English allies would take the initiative in acting against James while he ensured his own protection against potential attacks . William was prepared to wait ; he had paid his troops in advance for a three - month campaign . A slow advance , apart from being necessitated by heavy rainfall anyway , had the added benefit of not over-extending the supply lines ; the Dutch troops were under strict orders not even to forage , for fear that this would degenerate into plundering , which would alienate the population . On 9 November ( Julian calendar ) William took Exeter after the magistrates had fled the city , entering on a white palfrey , with the two hundred black men forming a guard of honour , dressed in white , with turbans and feathers . In the South support from the local gentry was disappointingly limited , but from 12 November , in the North , many nobles began to declare for William , as they had promised , often by a public reading of the Declaration . In Yorkshire , printer John White started to print the same document for a more widespread distribution . However , in the first weeks most people carefully avoided taking sides ; as a whole the nation neither rallied behind its king , nor welcomed William , but passively awaited the outcome of events . In general , the mood was one of confusion , mutual distrust and depression . The collapse of James 's rule ( edit ) James refused a French offer to send an expeditionary force , fearing that it would cost him domestic support . He tried to bring the Tories to his side by making concessions but failed because he still refused to endorse the Test Act . His forward forces had gathered at Salisbury , and James went to join them on 19 November with his main force , having a total strength of about 19,000 . Amid anti-Catholic rioting in London , it rapidly became apparent that the troops were not eager to fight , and the loyalty of many of James ' commanders was doubtful ; he had been informed of the conspiracy within the army as early as September , but for unknown reasons had refused to arrest the officers involved . Some have argued , however , that if James had been more resolute , the army would have fought and fought well . The first blood was shed at about this time in a skirmish at Wincanton , Somerset , where Royalist troops under Patrick Sarsfield retreated after defeating a small party of scouts ; the total body count on both sides came to about fifteen . In Salisbury , after hearing that some officers had deserted , among them Lord Cornbury , a worried James was overcome by a serious nose - bleed that he interpreted as an evil omen indicating that he should order his army to retreat , which the supreme army commander , the Earl of Feversham , also advised on 23 November . The next day , Lord Churchill , one of James ' chief commanders , deserted to William . On 26 November , James 's younger daughter , Anne , who doubted the authenticity of her new brother , and who was greatly influenced by Churchill 's wife Sarah Churchill , did the same . Both were serious losses . James returned to London that same day . On 27 November he met with all the Lords Spiritual and Temporal who were then in London . Meanwhile , on 18 November Plymouth had surrendered to William , and on 21 November he began to advance . By 24 November , William 's forces were at Sherborne and on 1 December at Hindon . On 4 December he was at Amesbury , and was received by the mayor of Salisbury ; three days later they had reached Hungerford , where the following day they met with the King 's Commissioners to negotiate . James offered free elections and a general amnesty for the rebels . In reality , by that point James was simply playing for time , having already decided to flee the country . He feared that his English enemies would insist on his execution and that William would give in to their demands . Convinced that his army was unreliable , he sent orders to disband it . On 9 December , the two sides fought a second engagement with the Battle of Reading , a defeat for the King 's men . In December , there was anti-Catholic rioting in Bristol , Bury St. Edmunds , Hereford , York , Cambridge , and Shropshire . On 9 December a Protestant mob stormed Dover Castle , where the Catholic Sir Edward Hales was governor , and seized it . On 8 December William met at last with James 's representatives ; he agreed to James 's proposals but also demanded that all Catholics be immediately dismissed from state functions and that England pay for the Dutch military expenses . He received no reply , however . Departure of King and queen ( edit ) In the night of 9 / 10 December , the Queen and the Prince of Wales fled for France . The next day saw James 's attempt to escape , the King dropping the Great Seal in the Thames along the way , as no lawful Parliament could be summoned without it . However , he was captured on 11 December by fishermen in Faversham opposite Sheerness , the town on the Isle of Sheppey . On the same day , 27 Lords Spiritual and Temporal , forming a provisional government , decided to ask William to restore order but at the same time asked the king to return to London to reach an agreement with his son - in - law . It was presided over initially by William Sancroft , Archbishop of Canterbury and , after it was learned that James was still in England , by George Savile , 1st Marquess of Halifax . On the night of 11 December there were riots and lootings of the houses of Catholics and several foreign embassies of Catholic countries in London . The following night a mass panic gripped London during what was later termed the Irish night . False rumours of an impending Irish army attack on London circulated in the capital , and a mob of over 100,000 assembled ready to defend the city . Upon returning to London on 16 December , James was welcomed by cheering crowds . He took heart at this and attempted to recommence government , even presiding over a meeting of the Privy Council . He sent the Earl of Feversham to William to arrange for a personal meeting to continue negotiations . Now it became evident that William had no longer any desire to keep James in power in England . He was extremely dismayed by the arrival of Lord Feversham . He refused the suggestion that he simply arrest James because this would violate his own declarations and burden his relationship with his wife . In the end it was decided that he should exploit James 's fears ; the three original commissioners were sent back to James with the message that William felt he could no longer guarantee the king 's well - being and that James for his own safety had better leave London for Ham . William at the same time ordered all English troops to depart from the capital , while his forces entered on 17 December ; no local forces were allowed within a twenty - mile radius until the spring of 1690 . Already the English navy had declared for William . James , by his own choice , went under Dutch protective guard to Rochester in Kent on 18 December , just as William entered London , cheered by crowds dressed in orange ribbons or waving , lavishly distributed , oranges . The Dutch officers had been ordered that `` if he ( James ) wanted to leave , they should not prevent him , but allow him to gently slip through '' . James then left for France on 23 December after having received a request from his wife to join her , even though his followers urged him to stay . The lax guard on James and the decision to allow him so near the coast indicate that William may have hoped that a successful flight would avoid the difficulty of deciding what to do with him , especially with the memory of the execution of Charles I still strong . By fleeing , James ultimately helped resolve the awkward question of whether he was still the legal king or not , having created according to many a situation of interregnum . William and Mary made joint monarchs ( edit ) William III and Mary II reigned together for five years . William reigned on his own following Mary 's death in 1694 . On 28 December , William took over the provisional government by appointment of the peers of the realm , as was the legal right of the latter in circumstances when the king was incapacitated , and , on the advice of his Whig allies , summoned an assembly of all the surviving members of parliament of Charles II 's reign , thus sidelining the Tories of the Loyal Parliament of 1685 . This assembly called for a chosen English Convention Parliament , elected on 5 January 1689 NS , which convened on 22 January . William did not intervene in the election that followed . This elected body consisted of 513 members , 341 of whom had been elected before , 238 having been members of at least one Exclusion Bill Parliament , but only 193 having been elected in 1685 . The name `` Convention '' was chosen because only the king could call a Parliament , although as William had been appointed de facto regent by the peers the Convention could be argued to be , strictly speaking , a lawful Parliament . Although James had fled the country , he still had many followers , and William feared that the king might return , relegating William to the role of a mere regent , an outcome which was unacceptable to him . On 30 December , William , speaking to the Marquess of Halifax , threatened to leave England `` if King James came again '' and determined to go back to the Netherlands `` if they went about to make him Regent '' . The English Convention Parliament was very divided on the issue . The radical Whigs in the Lower House proposed to elect William as a king ( meaning that his power would be derived from the people ) ; the moderates wanted an acclamation of William and Mary together ; the Tories wanted to make him regent or only acclaim Mary as queen . On 28 January a committee of the whole House of Commons promptly decided by acclamation that James had broken `` the original contract '' ; had `` abdicated the government '' ; and had left the throne `` vacant '' . The House of Lords wished to amend this , however , as many were still loyal to James and believed in the Anglican doctrine of non-resistance . The Lords rejected the proposal for a regency in James 's name by 51 to 48 on 2 February . The Lords also substituted the word `` abdicated '' for `` deserted '' and removed the `` vacancy '' clause . The Lords voted against proclaiming William and Mary monarchs by 52 to 47 . On 4 February the Lords reaffirmed their amendments to the Commons 's resolution by 55 to 51 and 54 to 53 . On 5 February the Commons voted 282 to 151 for maintaining the original wording of the resolution . The next day , the two Houses entered into a conference but failed to resolve the matter . William in private conversation ( with Halifax , Danby , Shrewsbury , Lord Winchester and Lord Mordaunt ) made it clear that they could either accept him as king or deal with the Whigs without his military presence , for then he would leave for the Republic . But he let it be known that he was happy for Mary to be nominal monarch and preference in the succession given to Anne 's children over his by a subsequent marriage . Anne declared that she would temporarily waive her right to the crown should Mary die before William , and Mary refused to be made queen without William as king . The Lords on 6 February now accepted the words `` abdication '' and `` vacancy '' and Lord Winchester 's motion to appoint William and Mary monarchs . Generally there was a great fear that the situation might deteriorate into a civil war . The Bill of Rights ( edit ) Main article : Bill of Rights 1689 The proposal to draw up a statement of rights and liberties and James 's invasion of them was first made on 29 January in the Commons , with members arguing that the House `` can not answer it to the nation or Prince of Orange till we declare what are the rights invaded '' and that William `` can not take it ill if we make conditions to secure ourselves for the future '' to `` do justice to those who sent us hither '' . On 2 February a committee specially convened reported to the Commons 23 Heads of Grievances , which the Commons approved and added some of their own . However , on 4 February the Commons decided to instruct the committee to differentiate between `` such of the general heads , as are introductory of new laws , from those that are declaratory of ancient rights '' . On 7 February the Commons approved this revised Declaration of Right , and on 8 February instructed the committee to put into a single text the Declaration ( with the heads which were `` introductory of new laws '' removed ) , the resolution of 28 January and the Lords ' proposal for a revised oath of allegiance . It passed the Commons without division . The Declaration of Right was in December 1689 enacted in an Act of Parliament , the Bill of Rights 1689 . It listed twelve of James 's policies by which James designed to `` endeavour to subvert and extirpate the protestant religion , and the laws and liberties of this kingdom '' . These were : by assuming and exercising a power of dispensing with and suspending of laws ; by prosecuting the Seven Bishops ; by establishing of the court of commissioners for ecclesiastical causes ; by levying money for the crown by pretence of prerogative than the same was granted by Parliament ; by raising and maintaining a standing army in peacetime without the consent of Parliament ; by disarming Protestants and arming Catholics contrary to law ; by violating the election of members to serve in Parliament ; by prosecuting in the King 's Bench for matters cognisable only in Parliament and `` divers other arbitrary and illegal courses '' ; by employing unqualified persons to serve on juries ; by requiring an excessive bail for persons committed in criminal cases ; by imposing excessive fines and `` illegal and cruel punishments inflicted '' ; by making `` several grants and promises made of fines and forfeitures before any conviction or judgment against the person , upon whom the same were to be levied '' . The Bill of Rights also vindicated and asserted the nation 's `` ancient rights and liberties '' by declaring : the pretended power to dispense with or suspend Acts of Parliament is illegal ; the commission for ecclesiastical causes is illegal ; levying money without the consent of Parliament is illegal ; it is the right of the subject to petition the king and prosecutions for petitioning are illegal ; maintaining a standing army in peacetime without the consent of Parliament is illegal ; Protestant subjects `` may have arms for their defence suitable to their conditions , and allowed by law '' ; the election of members of Parliament ought to be free ; that freedom of speech and debates in Parliament `` ought not to be impeached or questioned in any court or place out of Parliament '' ; excessive bail and fines not required and `` cruel and unusual punishments '' not to be inflicted ; jurors in high treason trials ought to be freeholders ; that promises of fines and forfeitures before conviction are illegal ; that Parliament ought to be held frequently . On 13 February the clerk of the House of Lords read the Declaration of Right , and Halifax , in the name of all the estates of the realm , asked William and Mary to accept the throne . William replied for his wife and himself : `` We thankfully accept what you have offered us '' . They then went in procession to the great gate at Whitehall . The Garter King at Arms proclaimed them King and Queen of England , France and Ireland , whereupon they adjourned to the Chapel Royal , with Compton preaching the sermon . They were crowned on 11 April , swearing an oath to uphold the laws made by Parliament . The Coronation Oath Act 1688 had provided a new coronation oath , whereby the monarchs were to `` solemnly promise and swear to govern the people of this kingdom of England , and the dominions thereunto belonging , according to the statutes in parliament agreed on , and the laws and customs of the same '' . They were also to maintain the laws of God , the true profession of the Gospel , and the Protestant Reformed faith established by law . The other kingdoms ( edit ) Main article : Glorious Revolution in Scotland Although their succession to the English throne was relatively peaceful , much blood would be shed before William 's authority was accepted in Ireland and Scotland . In Scotland there had been no serious support for the rebellion ; but , when James fled for France , most members of the Scottish Privy Council went to London to offer their services to William . On 7 January they asked William to take over the responsibilities of government . On 14 March a Scottish Convention convened in Edinburgh , dominated by the Presbyterians because the Episcopalians continued to support James . There was nevertheless a Jacobite faction , but a letter by James received on 16 March , in which he threatened to punish all who rebelled against him , resulted in his followers leaving the Convention , which then on 4 April decided that the throne of Scotland was vacant . The Convention formulated the Claim of Right and the Articles of Grievances . On 11 May William and Mary accepted the Crown of Scotland ; after their acceptance , the Claim and the Articles were read aloud , leading to an immediate debate over whether or not an endorsement of these documents was implicit in that acceptance . In Ireland there was no equivalent of the English or Scottish Convention and William had to conquer Ireland by force . The English Convention presumed to legislate for Ireland as well , and the Declaration of Right deemed William to be King of Ireland as well as of England . Jacobite uprisings ( edit ) Main articles : Williamite War in Ireland and Jacobite rising of 1689 James had cultivated support on the fringes of his Three Kingdoms -- in Catholic Ireland and the Highlands of Scotland . Supporters of James , known as Jacobites , were prepared to resist what they saw as an illegal coup by force of arms . The first Jacobite rebellion , an uprising in support of James in Scotland , took place in 1689 . It was led by John Graham , 1st Viscount Dundee , also known as Graham of Claverhouse or Bonnie Dundee , who raised an army from Highland clans . In Ireland , Richard Talbot , 1st Earl of Tyrconnell led local Catholics , who had been discriminated against by previous English monarchs , in the conquest of all the fortified places in the kingdom except Derry , and so held the Kingdom for James . James himself landed in Ireland with 6,000 French troops to try to regain the throne in the Williamite War in Ireland . The war raged from 1689 to 1691 . James fled Ireland following his defeat at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690 , but Jacobite resistance was not ended until after the battle of Aughrim in 1691 , when over half of their army was killed or taken prisoner . The Irish Jacobites surrendered under the conditions of the Treaty of Limerick on 3 October 1691 . England stayed relatively calm throughout , although some English Jacobites fought on James 's side in Ireland . Despite the Jacobite victory at the Battle of Killiecrankie , the uprising in the Scottish Highlands was quelled due to the death of its leader , Dundee , and Williamite victories at Dunkeld and Cromdale , as well as the Glencoe massacre in early 1692 . Many , particularly in Ireland and Scotland , continued to see the Stuarts as the legitimate monarchs of the Three Kingdoms , and there were further Jacobite rebellions in Scotland during the years 1715 , 1719 and 1745 . Anglo - Dutch alliance ( edit ) Though he had carefully avoided making it public , William 's main motive in organising the expedition had been the opportunity to bring England into an alliance against France . On 9 December 1688 he had already asked the States General to send a delegation of three to negotiate the conditions . On 18 February ( Julian calendar ) he asked the Convention to support the Republic in its war against France ; but it refused , only consenting to pay £ 600,000 for the continued presence of the Dutch army in England . On 9 March ( Gregorian calendar ) the States General responded to Louis 's earlier declaration of war by declaring war on France in return . On 19 April ( Julian calendar ) the Dutch delegation signed a naval treaty with England . It stipulated that the combined Anglo - Dutch fleet would always be commanded by an Englishman , even when of lower rank ; also it specified that the two parties would contribute in the ratio of five English vessels against three Dutch vessels , meaning in practice that the Dutch navy in the future would be smaller than the English . The Navigation Acts were not repealed . On 18 May the new Parliament allowed William to declare war on France . On 9 September 1689 ( Gregorian calendar ) , William as King of England joined the League of Augsburg against France . The decline of the Dutch Republic ( edit ) Having England as an ally meant that the military situation of the Republic was strongly improved , but this very fact induced William to be uncompromising in his position towards France . This policy led to a large number of very expensive campaigns which were largely paid for with Dutch funds . In 1712 the Republic was financially exhausted ; it withdrew from international politics and was forced to let its fleet deteriorate , making what was by then the Kingdom of Great Britain the dominant maritime power of the world . The Dutch economy , already burdened by the high national debt and concomitant high taxation , suffered from the other European states ' protectionist policies , which its weakened fleet was no longer able to resist . To make matters worse , the main Dutch trading and banking houses moved much of their activity from Amsterdam to London after 1688 . Between 1688 and 1720 , world trade dominance shifted from the Republic to Britain . `` Dutch invasion '' hypothesis ( edit ) After being revisited by historians in 1988 -- the third centennial of the event -- several researchers have argued that the `` revolution '' was actually a successful Dutch invasion of Britain . The events were unusual because the establishment of a constitutional monarchy ( a de facto republic , see Coronation Oath Act 1688 ) and Bill of Rights meant that the apparently invading monarchs , legitimate heirs to the throne , were prepared to govern with the English Parliament . It is difficult to classify the entire proceedings of 1687 -- 89 but it can be seen that the events occurred in three phases : conspiracy , invasion by Dutch forces and `` Glorious Revolution '' . It has been argued that the invasion aspect had been downplayed as a result of a combination of British pride and successful Dutch propaganda , trying to depict the course of events as a largely internal English affair . As the invitation was initiated by figures who had little influence themselves , the legacy of the Glorious Revolution has been described as a successful propaganda act by William to cover up and justify his successful invasion . The claim that William was fighting for the Protestant cause in England was used to great effect to disguise the military , cultural and political impact that the Dutch regime had on England at the time . Impact ( edit ) The overthrow of James was hailed at the time and ever since , as the `` Glorious Revolution '' . Edmund Burke set the tone for over two centuries of historiographical analysis when he proclaimed that : The Revolution was made to preserve our ancient indisputable laws and liberties , and that ancient constitution of government which is our only security for law and liberty . Many historians have endorsed Burke 's view , including Macaulay ( 1848 ) and more recently John Morrill , who captured the consensus of contemporary historiography well when he declared that `` the Sensible Revolution of 1688 -- 89 was a conservative Revolution '' . On the other hand , Steven Pincus ( 2009 ) argues that it was momentous especially when looking at the alternative that James was trying to enact -- a powerful centralised autocratic state , using French - style `` state - building '' . England 's role in Europe and the country 's political economy in the 17th century refutes the view of many late - 20th - century historians that nothing revolutionary occurred during the Glorious Revolution of 1688 -- 89 . Pincus says it was not a placid turn of events . In diplomacy and economics William III transformed the English state 's ideology and policies . This occurred not because William III was an outsider who inflicted foreign notions on England but because foreign affairs and political economy were at the core of the English revolutionaries ' agenda . The revolution of 1688 -- 89 can not be fathomed in isolation . It would have been inconceivable without the changes resulting from the events of the 1640s and 1650s . Indeed , the ideas accompanying the Glorious Revolution were rooted in the mid-century upheavals . Thus , the 17th century was a century of revolution in England , deserving of the same scholarly attention that ' modern ' revolutions attract . James II tried building a powerful militarised state on the mercantilist assumption that the world 's wealth was necessarily finite and empires were created by taking land from other states . The East India Company was thus an ideal tool to create a vast new English imperial dominion by warring with the Dutch and the Mogul Empire in India . After 1689 came an alternative understanding of economics , which saw Britain as a commercial rather than an agrarian society . The proponents of this view , most famously Adam Smith in 1776 , argued that wealth was created by human endeavour and was thus potentially infinite .

With the passage of the Bill of Rights , it stamped out once and for all any possibility of a Catholic monarchy , and ended moves towards absolute monarchy in the British kingdoms by circumscribing the monarch 's powers . These powers were greatly restricted ; he or she could no longer suspend laws , levy taxes , make royal appointments , or maintain a standing army during peacetime without Parliament 's permission -- to this day the Army is known as the `` British Army '' not the `` Royal Army '' as it is , in some sense , Parliament 's Army and not that of the King . ( This is , however , a complex issue , as the Crown remains the source of all executive authority in the British army , with legal implications for unlawful orders etc . ) . Since 1689 , government under a system of constitutional monarchy in England , and later the United Kingdom , has been uninterrupted . Since then , Parliament 's power has steadily increased while the Crown 's has steadily declined . Unlike in the English civil war of the mid-seventeenth century , the `` Glorious Revolution '' did not involve the masses of ordinary people in England ( the majority of the bloodshed occurred in Ireland ) . This fact has led many historians , including Stephen Webb , to suggest that , in England at least , the events more closely resemble a coup d'état than a social revolution . This view of events does not contradict what was originally meant by `` revolution '' : the coming round of an old system of values in a circular motion , back to its original position , as Britain 's constitution was reasserted , rather than formed anew . Prior to his arrival in England , the new king William III of England was not Anglican , but rather was a member of the Dutch Reformed Church . Consequently , as a Calvinist and Presbyterian he was now in the unenviable position of being the head of the Church of England , while technically being a Nonconformist . This was , however , not his main motive for promoting religious toleration . More important in that respect was the need to keep happy his Catholic allies in the coming struggle with Louis XIV . Though he had promised legal toleration for Catholics in his Declaration of October 1688 , he was ultimately unsuccessful in this respect , due to opposition by the Tories in the new Parliament . The Revolution led to the Act of Toleration of 1689 , which granted toleration to Nonconformist Protestants , but not to Catholics . Catholic emancipation would be delayed for 140 years . The Williamite War in Ireland can be seen as the source of later conflict , including The Troubles of recent times . The Williamite victory in Ireland is still commemorated by the Orange Order for preserving British and Protestant dominance in the country . In North America , the Glorious Revolution precipitated the 1689 Boston revolt in which a well - organised `` mob '' of provincial militia and citizens successfully deposed the hated governor Edmund Andros , which has been seen as a precedent for the American War of Independence a century later . In New York , Leisler 's Rebellion caused the colonial administrator , Francis Nicholson , to flee to England . A third event , Maryland 's Protestant Rebellion was directed against the proprietary government , seen as Catholic - dominated . Lord Macaulay 's account of the Revolution in The History of England from the Accession of James the Second exemplifies its semi-mystical significance to later generations .

For British Catholics its effects were disastrous both socially and politically: Catholics were denied the right to vote and sit in the Westminster Parliament for over a century; they were also denied commissions in the army, and the monarch was forbidden to be Catholic or to marry a Catholic, this latter prohibition remaining in force until 2015. The Revolution led to limited tolerance for Nonconformist Protestants, although it would be some time before they had full political rights. It has been argued, mainly by Whig historians, that James's overthrow began modern English parliamentary democracy: the Bill of Rights 1689 has become one of the most important documents in the political history of Britain and never since has the monarch held absolute power." ]	[ "modern English parliamentary democracy" ]
8099932662971497776	Compromise of 1877	Compromise of 1877 - wikipedia Compromise of 1877 A political cartoon by Joseph Keppler depicts Roscoe Conkling as a character Mephistopheles ( the Devil ) while Rutherford B. Hayes strolls off with the prize of the `` Solid South '' depicted as a woman . The caption quotes Goethe : `` Unto that Power he doth belong Which only doeth Right while ever willing Wrong . '' The Compromise of 1877 was an informal , unwritten deal that settled the intensely disputed 1876 U.S. presidential election . It resulted in the United States federal government pulling the last troops out of the South , and formally ended the Reconstruction Era . Through the Compromise , Republican Rutherford B. Hayes was awarded the White House over Democrat Samuel J. Tilden on the understanding that Hayes would remove the federal troops whose support was essential for the survival of Republican state governments in South Carolina , Florida and Louisiana . The compromise involved Democrats who controlled the House of Representatives allowing the decision of the Electoral Commission to take effect . The outgoing president , Republican Ulysses S. Grant , removed the soldiers from Florida . As president , Hayes removed the remaining troops from South Carolina and Louisiana . As soon as the troops left , many white Republicans also left , and the `` Redeemer '' Democrats took control . They already dominated other state governments in the South . What was exactly agreed is somewhat contested as the documentation is insufficient . Black Republicans felt betrayed as they lost power and were subject to discrimination and harassment to suppress their voting . By 1905 most black men were effectively disenfranchised by state legislatures in every southern state . Contents ( hide ) 1 Terms of compromise 2 Results 3 Interpretations 4 References 5 Further reading 6 External links Terms of compromise ( edit ) The compromise essentially stated that Southern Democrats would acknowledge Hayes as president , but only on the understanding that Republicans would meet certain demands . The following elements are generally said to be the points of the compromise : The removal of all U.S. military forces from the former Confederate states . At the time , U.S. troops remained in only Louisiana , South Carolina , and Florida , but the Compromise completed their withdrawal from the region . The appointment of at least one Southern Democrat to Hayes ' cabinet . ( David M. Key of Tennessee was appointed as Postmaster General . ) The construction of another transcontinental railroad using the Texas and Pacific in the South ( this had been part of the `` Scott Plan , '' proposed by Thomas A. Scott of the Pennsylvania Railroad ; he had initiated negotiations resulting in the final compromise ) . Legislation to help industrialize the South and restore its economy following Reconstruction and the Civil War . The right to deal with blacks without northern interference . In exchange , Democrats would accept the Republican Hayes as president by not employing the filibuster during the joint session of Congress needed to confirm the election . Results ( edit ) After the Compromise , a few Democrats complained loudly that Tilden had been cheated . There was talk of forming armed units that would march on Washington , but President Grant was ready for that . He tightened military security , and nobody marched on Washington . Hayes was peacefully inaugurated . Points 1 and 2 of the compromise took effect . Hayes had already announced his support for the restoration of `` home rule , '' which would involve federal troop removal , before the election . It was not unusual , nor unexpected , for a president , especially one so narrowly elected , to select a cabinet member favored by the other party . Points 3 and 4 were never enacted ; it is possible there was no firm agreement about them . Whether by informal deal or simply reassurances already in line with Hayes 's announced plans , talks with Southern Democrats satisfied the worries of many . This prevented a Congressional filibuster that had threatened to extend resolution of the election dispute beyond Inauguration Day 1877 . Interpretations ( edit ) C. Vann Woodward ( 1951 ) argued for an economic interpretation , saying that emerging business and industry interests of the New South found common ground with Republican businessmen , particularly with the railroads . They met secretly at Wormley 's Hotel in Washington to forge a compromise with aid to internal improvements : bridges , canals and railroads wanted by the South . But Peskin notes that no serious federal effort was made after Hayes took office to fund a railroad or provide other federal aid for improvements . An opposing interest group representing the Southern Pacific actually thwarted Scott 's proposed Texas and Pacific scheme , and ultimately ran its own line to New Orleans . Some historians , such as Allan Peskin , argue that the assurances offered to some Southern Democrats to prevent a filibuster were not a compromise but a foregone conclusion , as Tilden did not command sufficient support . Peskin admits that Woodward 's interpretation had become almost universally accepted in the nearly quarter century since he had published it . As not all terms of the agreement were met , Peskin believes there was really no deal between the North and South in 1877 . He also suggests that Northern Democrats were more significant in quashing the filibuster than those from the South . For instance , Samuel J. Randall ( D - Pennsylvania ) was Speaker of the House and prevented the filibuster . He was more interested in ensuring that the Radical state government in Louisiana was abandoned than in any southern railroad . Vincent DeSantis argues that the Republican Party abandoned Southern blacks to the rule of the racist Democratic Party in order to gain the support of Democrats for Hayes ' presidency . In any case , Reconstruction ended . The dominance of the Democratic Party in the South was cemented with the ascent of the `` Redeemer '' governments that displaced the Republican governments . After 1877 , support for white supremacy generally caused whites to vote for Democrats and the region became known as the `` Solid South . '' Until the end of the 19th century , black Republicans continued to elect numerous candidates to local office , although Democrats controlled most state representative and statewide seats , except for a brief period of fusion governments supported by Republicans and Populists . The majority of white voters supported national Democratic candidates well into the 20th century before shifting to the Republican Party . This later shift to the Republican party followed the 1964 Civil Rights Act , which was introduced by Democratic President Lyndon B. Johnson and supported by most Republicans and northern Democrats . Democratic groups worked to suppress black voting by intimidation and fraud but , after regaining power again at the turn of the 20th century , passed constitutions and laws to disenfranchise blacks ( as well as many poor whites ) in states such as Alabama and others . As there was no change in congressional apportionment , southern whites accrued great power by controlling all the seats of the region based on states ' total populations . In The Mexicanization of American Politics : The United States ' Transnational Path from Civil War to Stabilization ( 2012 ) , Downs rejects the idea that this was an era of easy reconciliation and political stability . Instead he shows many Americans feared `` Mexicanization '' of politics , whereby force would be used to settle a presidential election , as force had been used to settle certain state elections in the South . Downs explores how Mexicanization was roundly rejected and stability was achieved . Whatever deals may or may not have taken place on the side , in formal legal terms , the election of 1876 was not decided by such acts , but by the official vote of Congress to accept the recommendations of the Electoral Commission they themselves had set up as a way out of the election impasse . The expectation in setting up the committee had been that its decisions would be accepted by Congress . It was only when certain Democrats disagreed with the commission 's decisions in favor of Hayes that this arrangement was jeopardized . This Democratic group threatened a filibuster ( opposed by Republicans and Congressional Democratic leadership as well ) that would prevent the agreed - upon vote from taking place . Discussions of the points in the alleged compromise were related to persuading key Democrats against accepting a filibuster . The very threat of a filibuster -- a measure used by a minority to prevent a vote -- indicates that there were already sufficient votes for accepting the commission 's recommendations .

About Wikipedia	the compromise of 1877 signaled an end to	[ "The Compromise of 1877 was an informal, unwritten deal that settled the intensely disputed 1876 U.S. presidential election. It resulted in the United States federal government pulling the last troops out of the South, and formally ended the Reconstruction Era. Through the Compromise, Republican Rutherford B. Hayes was awarded the White House over Democrat Samuel J. Tilden on the understanding that Hayes would remove the federal troops whose support was essential for the survival of Republican state governments in South Carolina, Florida and Louisiana. The compromise involved Democrats who controlled the House of Representatives allowing the decision of the Electoral Commission to take effect. The outgoing president, Republican Ulysses S. Grant, removed the soldiers from Florida. As president, Hayes removed the remaining troops from South Carolina and Louisiana. As soon as the troops left, many white Republicans also left, and the \"Redeemer\" Democrats took control. They already dominated other state governments in the South. What was exactly agreed is somewhat contested as the documentation is insufficient.[1]" ]	[ "the Reconstruction Era" ]

He is a longshoreman , hoping to be a cashier ; she wants to be an actress . Frank later secures a sales position with Knox Machines , for which his father worked for 20 years , and April and he marry . The Wheelers move to 115 Revolutionary Road in suburban Connecticut when April becomes pregnant . The couple becomes close friends with their realtor Helen Givings ( Bates ) and her husband Howard Givings ( Richard Easton ) , and neighbor Milly Campbell ( Kathryn Hahn ) and her husband Shep ( David Harbour ) . To their friends , the Wheelers are the perfect couple , but their relationship is troubled . April fails to make a career out of acting , while Frank hates the tedium of his work . Meanwhile , Helen asks the couple to meet her son , John ( Shannon ) , who had been declared insane , to try to help better his condition . They accept . April wants new scenery and a chance to support the family so Frank can find his passion , so suggests that they move to Paris to start a new life away from the `` hopeless emptiness '' of their repetitive lifestyle . The Givings ( including John ) talk with April and Frank . During the conversation , the Wheelers tell the Givings about their plans to live in Paris . Surprisingly , the only person who seems to comprehend their decision is John . As the couple prepares to move , they are forced to reconsider . Frank is offered a promotion , and April becomes pregnant again . When Frank discovers she is contemplating having an abortion , he is furious and starts screaming at April , leading to a serious altercation , in which April says that they had their second child only to prove the first child was not a `` mistake '' . The next day , Frank takes the promotion and tries to accept his uneventful life . At the end of an evening at a jazz bar with the Campbells , Shep and April end up alone together and have sex in the car . Shep professes his long - held love for April , but she rejects his interest . The following day , Frank confesses to having had an affair with a female assistant at his office , hoping to reconcile with April . To his surprise , April responds apathetically and tells him it does not matter as her love for him has gone , which he does not believe . The Givings come over for dinner , and Frank announces to the guests that their plans have changed , as April is pregnant . John harshly lambasts Frank for crushing April 's hope , as well as his acceptance of his circumstances . Angered , Frank nearly attacks John , and the Givings hurry out . Afterwards , Frank and April have a severe verbal altercation , after which April flees the house . Frank spends the night in a drunken stupor . The next morning he is shocked to find April in the kitchen , calmly making breakfast as if nothing happened . Frank , unsure of how to react , eats with her then leaves for work . April goes upstairs and performs a vacuum aspiration abortion . Afterwards , she discovers herself bleeding and calls an ambulance . Frank arrives at the hospital , distraught and being comforted by Shep. April soon dies in the hospital due to blood loss .

A new couple , the Braces , buys the house and Milly tells the story of the Wheelers to them . Shep stops the story and walks out of the house , crying . When Milly asks Shep what is wrong , he asks her in return to never talk about the Wheelers ever again .

Cast ( edit ) Leonardo DiCaprio as Frank Wheeler Kate Winslet as April Wheeler Michael Shannon as John Givings , Jr . Kathryn Hahn as Milly Campbell David Harbour as Shep Campbell Kathy Bates as Helen Givings Ty Simpkins as Michael Wheeler Richard Easton as Howard Givings Ryan Simpkins as Jennifer Wheeler Dylan Baker as Jack Ordway Zoe Kazan as Maureen Grube Max Casella as Ed Small Jay O. Sanders as Bart Pollock Development ( edit ) After Richard Yates ' novel was published in 1961 , director John Frankenheimer considered filming it , but opted to make The Manchurian Candidate , instead . Samuel Goldwyn , Jr. , expressed an interest in making it into a film but others in his studio convinced him that it lacked commercial prospects . In 1965 , producer Albert S. Ruddy bought the rights but did not like the book 's ending , and wanted to obscure April 's death with `` tricky camerawork '' . He became involved in adapting The Godfather and , five years later , while a writer - in - residence at Wichita State University , Yates offered to adapt his work for the screen . Ruddy had other projects lined up at the time and demurred , eventually selling the rights to actor Patrick O'Neal . The actor loved the book and spent the rest of his life trying to finish a workable screenplay . Yates read O'Neal's treatment of his novel and found it `` godawful '' , but O'Neal refused the writer 's repeated offers to buy back the rights . Yates died in 1992 , O'Neal two years later . The project remained in limbo until 2001 when Todd Field expressed interest in adapting it for the screen . However , when told by the O'Neal estate he would be required to shoot O'Neal's script as written , Field stepped away from the material and opted to make Little Children instead . David Thompson eventually purchased the rights for BBC Films . In March 2007 , BBC Films established a partnership with DreamWorks , and the rights to the film 's worldwide distribution were assigned to Paramount Pictures , owner of DreamWorks . On 14 February 2008 , Paramount announced that Paramount Vantage was `` taking over distribution duties on Revolutionary Road '' . The BBC hired Justin Haythe to write the screenplay because , according to the screenwriter , he was `` hugely affordable '' . Kate Winslet sent producer Scott Rudin the script and he told her that her then husband , director Sam Mendes , would be perfect to direct it . She gave Mendes Yates ' novel and told him , `` I really want to play this part '' . He read Haythe 's script and then the book in quick succession . Haythe 's first draft was very faithful to the novel , using large parts of Yates ' own language , but Mendes told him to find ways to externalize what Frank and April do not say to each other . Once Leonardo DiCaprio agreed to do the film , it went almost immediately into production . DiCaprio said that he saw his character as `` unheroic '' and `` slightly cowardly '' and that he was `` willing to be just a product of his environment '' . DiCaprio prepared for the role by watching several documentaries about the 1950s and the origin of suburbs . He said that the film was not meant to be a romance and that he and Winslet intentionally avoided films that show them in romantic roles since Titanic . Both DiCaprio and Winslet were reluctant to make films similar to Titanic because `` we just knew it would be a fundamental mistake to try to repeat any of those themes '' . To prepare for the role , Winslet read The Feminine Mystique by Betty Friedan . Mendes had the cast rehearse for three - and - a-half weeks before principal photography and shot everything in sequence and on location . Actor Michael Shannon said that he did not feel that on the set of the film there were any stars , but `` a group of people united by a passion for the material and wanting to honor the book '' . He said that Winslet and DiCaprio could only make such a good performance as a couple because they had developed a friendship since their work on Titanic . For Shannon , it was more important to prepare for the moment when he walked on the set than being concerned about the movie stars he was working with . On the fight scenes between him and Winslet , DiCaprio said , `` So much of what happens between Frank and April in this film is what 's left unsaid . I actually found it a real joy to do those fight scenes because finally , these people were letting each other have it . '' The shoot was so emotionally and physically exhausting for DiCaprio that he postponed his next film for two months . Mendes wanted to create a claustrophobic dynamic and shot all of the Wheeler house interiors in an actual house in Darien , Connecticut . DiCaprio remembers , `` it was many months in this house and there was no escaping the environment . I think it fed into the performances . '' They could not film in a period accurate house because it would have been too small to shoot inside . Production Designer Kristi Zea is responsible for the `` iconic , nostalgic images of quaint Americana '' , although she says that was `` absolutely the antithesis of what we wanted to do '' . Zea chose for the set of this film furnishings that `` middle - class America would be buying at that time '' . During the post-production phase , Mendes cut 18 scenes , or 20 minutes to achieve a less literal version that he saw as more in the spirit of Yates ' novel . Release ( edit ) Revolutionary Road had a limited release in the United States at three theatres on December 26 , 2008 , and a wide release at 1,058 theatres on January 23 , 2009 . Revolutionary Road has earned $22.9 million at the domestic box office and $52.3 million internationally for a worldwide total of $75.2 million . Critical reception ( edit ) Revolutionary Road received generally positive reviews from critics . Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times said : `` It takes the skill of stars Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio and director Sam Mendes to get this film to a place where it involves and moves us -- which it finally does -- but it is a near thing ... Justin Haythe 's screenplay does many good things , but it ca n't escape the arch lingo of the time ... and that in turn makes the film 's concerns initially feel dated and outmoded as well ... Encouraged by Mendes ' artful direction , his gift for eliciting naturalness , the core of this film finally cries out to us today , makes us see that the notion of characters struggling with life , with the despair of betraying their best selves because of what society will or wo n't allow , is as gripping and relevant now as it ever was . Or ever will be . '' Joe Neumaier of the New York Daily News said : `` ( the film ) comes close but falls short of capturing Richard Yates ' terrific novel ... the movie -- two - thirds Mad Men , one - third American Beauty , with a John Cheever chaser -- works best when focusing on the personal . Thankfully , it 's there that Mendes and screenwriter Justin Haythe catch some of Yates ' weighty ideas , and where Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet succeed in doing the heavy lifting ... DiCaprio , round - shouldered and sleepy - eyed , and Winslet , watchful and alert , raise up each other and everything around them . Never once shadowed by Titanic , they suggest , often wordlessly , the box the Wheelers have found themselves in . Whereas the novel is told mostly from Frank 's viewpoint , the movie is just as much April 's , and Winslet , whether fighting back or fighting back tears , is sensational . '' Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun - Times gave Revolutionary Road four stars out of four , commending the acting and screenplay and calling the film `` so good it is devastating '' . He said of Winslet and DiCaprio , `` they are so good , they stop being actors and become the people I grew up around . '' Todd McCarthy of Variety called the film `` faithful , intelligent , admirably acted , superbly shot '' and added , `` It also offers a near - perfect case study of the ways in which film is incapable of capturing certain crucial literary qualities , in this case the very things that elevate the book from being a merely insightful study of a deteriorating marriage into a remarkable one ... Even when the dramatic temperature is cranked up too high , the picture 's underpinnings seem only partly present , to the point where one suspects that what it 's reaching for dramatically might be all but unattainable -- perhaps approachable only by Pinter at his peak . '' McCarthy later significantly qualified his review , calling Revolutionary Road `` problematic '' and that it `` has some issues that just wo n't go away '' . He concludes that Revolutionary Road suffers in comparison to Billy Wilder 's The Apartment and Richard Quine 's Strangers When We Meet because of its `` narrow vision '' , even arguing that the television series Mad Men handles the issues of conformity , frustration , and hypocrisy `` with more panache and precision '' . David Ansen of Newsweek said the film `` is lushly , impeccably mounted -- perhaps too much so . Mendes , a superb stage director , has an innately theatrical style : everything pops off the screen a little bigger and bolder than life , but the effect , rather than intensifying the emotions , calls attention to itself . Instead of losing myself in the story , I often felt on the outside looking in , appreciating the craftsmanship , but one step removed from the agony on display . Revolutionary Road is impressive , but it feels like a classic encased in amber . '' Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly graded the film B+ and commented : `` The film is lavishly dark -- some might say too dark -- yet I 'd suggest it has a different limitation : For all its shattering domestic discord , there 's something remote and aestheticized about it . April brings a private well of conflict to her middle - class prison , but Winslet is so meticulous in her telegraphed despair that she intrigues us , moves us , yet never quite touches our unguarded nerves . '' Kirk Honeycutt of The Hollywood Reporter called the film a `` didactic , emotionally overblown critique of the soulless suburbs '' and added , `` Revolutionary Road is , essentially , a repeat for Mendes of American Beauty ... Once more , the suburbs are well - upholstered nightmares and its denizens clueless -- other than one estranged male . Clearly , this environment attracts the dramatic sensibilities of this theater - trained director . Everything is boldly indicated to the audience from arch acting styles to the wink - wink , nod - nod of its design . Indeed his actors play the subtext with such fury that the text virtually disappears . Subtlety is not one of Mendes ' strong suits . '' Rex Reed of The New York Observer called the film `` a flawless , moment - to - moment autopsy of a marriage on the rocks and an indictment of the American Dream gone sour '' and `` a profound , intelligent and deeply heartfelt work that raises the bar of filmmaking to exhilarating . '' Peter Travers of Rolling Stone called the film `` raw and riveting '' and commented , `` Directed with extraordinary skill by Sam Mendes , who warms the chill in the Yates - faithful script by Justin Haythe , the film is a tough road well worth traveling ... DiCaprio is in peak form , bringing layers of buried emotion to a defeated man . And the glorious Winslet defines what makes an actress great , blazing commitment to a character and the range to make every nuance felt . '' Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle voted the film as his best of 2008 . He commented , `` Finally , this is a movie that can and should be seen more than once . Watch it one time through her eyes . Watch it again through his eyes . It works both ways . It works in every way . This is a great American film . '' It holds a 68 % rating from critics on review aggregate website Rotten Tomatoes , based on 203 reviews , with the consensus being `` Brilliantly acted and emotionally powerful , Revolutionary Road is a handsome adaptation of Richard Yates ' celebrated novel '' . Metacritic lists it with a 69 out of 100 , which indicates `` generally favorable reviews '' , based on 38 reviews .

So , as Winslet 's performance in The Reader had been nominated for Best Actress in 2008 by the Academy , her performance in Revolutionary Road could n't be nominated .

The English Teacher First edition Author R.K. Narayan Country India Language English Published 1945 Eyre & Spottiswoode Media type Print Pages 184 OCLC 6305085 Dewey Decimal 823 LC Class PR9499. 3. N3 E5 1980 Preceded by The Bachelor of Arts The English Teacher is a 1945 novel written by R.K. Narayan . It is the third and final part in the ' Malgudi Days '' series , preceded by Swami and Friends ( 1935 ) and The Bachelor of Arts ( 1937 ) . This novel , dedicated to Narayan 's wife Rajam is not only autobiographical but also poignant in its intensity of feeling . The story is a series of experiences in the life of Krishna , an English teacher , and his quest towards achieving inner peace and self - development . Contents 1 Plot summary 2 Literary significance and criticism 3 Book information 4 References Plot summary ( edit ) As an English teacher and lecturer at Albert Mission College , Krishna has led a mundane and monotonous lifestyle comparable to that of a cow . He too plays an important role of protecting the Indian culture . Soon his life took a turn when his wife , Susila , and their child , Leela , come to live with him . With their welfare on his hands , Krishna learns to be a proper husband and learns how to accept the responsibility of taking care of his family . He felt that his life had comparatively improved , as he understood that there 's more meaning to life than to just teaching in the college . However , on the day when they went in search of a new house , Susila contracts typhoid after visiting a dirty lavatory , keeping her in bed for weeks . Throughout the entire course of her illness , Krishna constantly tries to keep an optimistic view about Susila 's illness , keeping his hopes up by thinking that her illness would soon be cured . However , Susila eventually succumbs and passes away . Krishna , destroyed by her loss , has suicidal thoughts but gives them up for the sake of his daughter , Leela . He leads his life as a lost and miserable person after her death , but after he receives a letter from a stranger who indicates that Susila has been in contact with him and that she wants to communicate with Krishna , he becomes more collected and cheerful . This leads to Krishna 's journey in search of enlightenment , with the stranger acting as a medium to Susila in the spiritual world . Leela , on the other hand , goes to a preschool where Krishna gets to meet the headmaster , a profound man who cared for the students in his school and teaches them moral values through his own methods . The Headmaster puts his students as his top priority but he does n't care for his own family and children , eventually leaving them on the day predicted by an astrologer as to be when he was going to die , which did not come true . Krishna gets to learn through the headmaster on the journey to enlightenment ; eventually learning to communicate to Susila on his own , thus concluding the entire story itself , with the quote that he felt ' a moment of rare immutable joy ' . Literary significance and criticism ( edit ) The synopsis at the back of ' The English Teacher ' by Indian Thought Publications says , `` Never has the magical storyteller of imaginary Malgudi woven tragedy and humour so deftly together . '' Book information ( edit ) A paperback edition was issued in Chicago by the University of Chicago Press in 1980 with ISBN 0 - 226 - 56835 - 0 . Many other editions have been issued in other countries by several other publishers . It was published in the U.S. as Grateful to Life and Death in 1953 by The Michigan State College Press .

National parks must be established by an act of the United States Congress . A bill creating the first national park , Yellowstone , was signed into law by President Ulysses S. Grant in 1872 , followed by Mackinac National Park in 1875 ( decommissioned in 1895 ) , and then Rock Creek Park ( later merged into National Capital Parks ) , Sequoia and Yosemite in 1890 . The Organic Act of 1916 created the National Park Service `` to conserve the scenery and the natural and historic objects and wildlife therein , and to provide for the enjoyment of the same in such manner and by such means as will leave them unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations . '' Many current national parks had been previously protected as national monuments by the president under the Antiquities Act before being upgraded by Congress . Seven national parks ( including six in Alaska ) are paired with a national preserve , areas with different levels of protection that are administered together but considered separate units and whose areas are not included in the figures below . Criteria for the selection of national parks include natural beauty , unique geological features , unusual ecosystems , and recreational opportunities ( though these criteria are not always considered together ) . National monuments , on the other hand , are frequently chosen for their historical or archaeological significance . Fourteen national parks are designated UNESCO World Heritage Sites ( WHS ) , while 21 national parks are designated UNESCO Biosphere Reserves ( BR ) . Eight national parks are designated in both UNESCO programs . Twenty - eight states have national parks , as do the territories of American Samoa and the United States Virgin Islands . California has the most ( nine ) , followed by Alaska ( eight ) , Utah ( five ) , and Colorado ( four ) . The largest national park is Wrangell -- St. Elias in Alaska : at over 8 million acres ( 32,375 km ) , it is larger than each of the nine smallest states . The next three largest parks are also in Alaska . The smallest park is Gateway Arch National Park , Missouri , at approximately 192.83 acres ( 0.7804 km ) . The total area protected by national parks is approximately 52.2 million acres ( 211,000 km ) , for an average of 870 thousand acres ( 3,500 km ) but a median of only 229 thousand acres ( 930 km ) . The national parks set a visitation record in 2017 , with more than 84 million visitors . The most - visited national park is Great Smoky Mountains National Park in North Carolina and Tennessee , with over 11.3 million visitors in 2017 , followed by Arizona 's Grand Canyon National Park , with over 6.2 million . In contrast , only 11,177 people visited the remote Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve in Alaska in the same year . A few former national parks are no longer designated as such , or have been disbanded . Other units of the National Park Service ( 417 altogether ) are broadly referred to as national parks within the National Park System .

About Wikipedia	what was the first national park in the us	[ "The United States has 60 protected areas known as national parks[1] that are operated by the National Park Service, an agency of the Department of the Interior. National parks must be established by an act of the United States Congress. A bill creating the first national park, Yellowstone, was signed into law by President Ulysses S. Grant in 1872, followed by Mackinac National Park in 1875 (decommissioned in 1895), and then Rock Creek Park (later merged into National Capital Parks), Sequoia and Yosemite in 1890. The Organic Act of 1916 created the National Park Service \"to conserve the scenery and the natural and historic objects and wildlife therein, and to provide for the enjoyment of the same in such manner and by such means as will leave them unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations.\"[2] Many current national parks had been previously protected as national monuments by the president under the Antiquities Act before being upgraded by Congress. Seven national parks (including six in Alaska) are paired with a national preserve, areas with different levels of protection that are administered together but considered separate units and whose areas are not included in the figures below. Criteria for the selection of national parks include natural beauty, unique geological features, unusual ecosystems, and recreational opportunities (though these criteria are not always considered together). National monuments, on the other hand, are frequently chosen for their historical or archaeological significance. Fourteen national parks are designated UNESCO World Heritage Sites (WHS),[3] while 21 national parks are designated UNESCO Biosphere Reserves (BR).[4] Eight national parks are designated in both UNESCO programs." ]	[ "Yellowstone" ]

For other uses , see Beauty and the Beast ( disambiguation ) . Illustration for Beauty and the Beast by Walter Crane . Beauty and the Beast ( French : La Belle et la Bête ) is a traditional fairy tale written by French novelist Gabrielle - Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve and published in 1740 in La Jeune Américaine et les contes marins ( The Young American and Marine Tales ) . Her lengthy version was abridged , rewritten , and published first by Jeanne - Marie Leprince de Beaumont in 1756 in Magasin des enfants ( Children 's Collection ) and by Andrew Lang in the Blue Fairy Book of his Fairy Book series in 1889 , to produce the version ( s ) most commonly retold . It was influenced by some earlier stories , such as `` Cupid and Psyche '' , written by Lucius Apuleius Madaurensi in The Golden Ass in the 2nd century AD , and `` The Pig King '' , an Italian fairytale published by Giovanni Francesco Straparola in The Facetious Nights of Straparola . Variants of the tale are known across Europe . In France , for example , Zémire and Azor is an operatic version of the story , written by Marmontel and composed by Grétry in 1771 , which had enormous success well into the 19th century ; it is based on the second version of the tale . Amour pour amour ( Love for love ) , by Nivelle de la Chaussée , is a 1742 play based on de Villeneuve 's version . According to researchers at universities in Durham and Lisbon , the story originated around 4,000 years ago .

All his daughters are very beautiful , but the youngest , Beauty , is the most lovely , as well as kind , well - read , and pure of heart ; while the two elder sisters , in contrast , are wicked , selfish , vain , and spoiled . They secretly taunt Beauty and treat her more like a servant than a sister . The merchant eventually loses all of his wealth in a tempest at sea which sinks most of his merchant fleet . He and his children are consequently forced to live in a small farmhouse and work for their living . Some years later , the merchant hears that one of the trade ships he had sent has arrived back in port , having escaped the destruction of its compatriots . Before leaving , he asks his children if they wish for him to bring any gifts back for them . The sons ask for weaponry and horses to hunt with , whereas his oldest daughters ask for clothing , jewels , and the finest dresses possible as they think his wealth has returned . Beauty is satisfied with the promise of a rose as none grow in their part of the country . The merchant , to his dismay , finds that his ship 's cargo has been seized to pay his debts , leaving him penniless and unable to buy his children 's presents . During his return , the merchant becomes lost during a storm . Seeking shelter , he enters a dazzling palace . A hidden figure opens the giant doors and silently invites him in . The merchant finds tables inside laden with food and drink , which seem to have been left for him by the palace 's invisible owner . The merchant accepts this gift and spends the night there . The next morning , as the merchant is about to leave , he sees a rose garden and recalls that Beauty had desired a rose . Upon picking the loveliest rose he can find , the merchant is confronted by a hideous `` Beast '' which tells him that for taking his most precious possession after accepting his hospitality , the merchant must die . The merchant begs to be set free , arguing that he had only picked the rose as a gift for his youngest daughter . The Beast agrees to let him give the rose to Beauty , but only if the merchant or one of his daughters will return . Beauty dines with the Beast in an illustration by Anne Anderson . The merchant is upset but accepts this condition . The Beast sends him on his way , with wealth , jewels and fine clothes for his sons and daughters , and stresses that Beauty must never know about his deal . The merchant , upon arriving home , tries to hide the secret from Beauty , but she pries it from him . Her brothers say they will go to the castle and fight the Beast , but the merchant dissuades them , saying they will stand no chance against the monster . Beauty then agrees to go to the Beast 's castle . The Beast receives her graciously and informs her that she is now mistress of the castle , and he is her servant . He gives her lavish clothing and food and carries on lengthy conversations with her . Every night , the Beast asks Beauty to marry him , only to be refused each time . After each refusal , Beauty dreams of a handsome prince who pleads with her to answer why she keeps refusing him , to which she replies that she can not marry the Beast because she loves him only as a friend . Beauty does not make the connection between the handsome prince and the Beast and becomes convinced that the Beast is holding the prince captive somewhere in the castle . She searches and discovers multiple enchanted rooms , but never the prince from her dreams . For several months , Beauty lives a life of luxury at the Beast 's palace , having every whim catered to by invisible servants , with no end of riches to amuse her and an endless supply of exquisite finery to wear . Eventually , she becomes homesick and begs the Beast to allow her to go see her family . He allows it on the condition that she returns exactly a week later . Beauty agrees to this and sets off for home with an enchanted mirror and ring . The mirror allows her to see what is going on back at the Beast 's castle , and the ring allows her to return to the castle in an instant when turned three times around her finger . Her older sisters are surprised to find her well fed and dressed in finery . Beauty tries to share the magnificent gowns and jewels the Beast gave her with her sisters , but they turn into rags at her sisters ' touch , and are restored to their splendour when returned to Beauty , as the Beast meant them only for her . Her sisters are envious when they hear of her happy life at the castle , and , hearing that she must return to the Beast on a certain day , beg her to stay another day , even putting onion in their eyes to make it appear as though they are weeping . They hope that the Beast will be angry with Beauty for breaking her promise and eat her alive . Beauty 's heart is moved by her sisters ' false show of love , and she agrees to stay . Illustration by Warwick Goble . Beauty begins to feel guilty about breaking her promise to the Beast and uses the mirror to see him back at the castle . She is horrified to discover that the Beast is lying half - dead from heartbreak near the rose bushes from which her father plucked the rose , and she immediately uses the ring to return to the Beast . Beauty weeps over the Beast , saying that she loves him . When her tears strike him , the Beast is transformed into the handsome prince from Beauty 's dreams . The Prince informs her that long ago a fairy turned him into a hideous beast after he refused to let her in from the rain and that only by finding true love , despite his ugliness , could the curse be broken . He and Beauty are married and they live happily ever after together . Villeneuve 's version ( edit ) Villeneuve 's original tale includes several elements that Beaumont 's omits . Chiefly , the backstory of both Beauty and the Beast is given . The Beast was a prince who lost his father at a young age , and whose mother had to wage war to defend his kingdom . The queen left him in care of an evil fairy , who tried to seduce him when he became an adult ; when he refused , she transformed him into a beast . Beauty 's story reveals that she is not really a merchant 's daughter but the offspring of a king and a good fairy . A wicked fairy had tried to murder Beauty so she could marry her father the king , and Beauty was put in the place of the merchant 's dead daughter to protect her . Villeneuve also gave the castle elaborate magic , which obscured the more vital pieces of it . Beaumont greatly pared down the cast of characters and simplified the tale to an almost archetypal simplicity . Commentary ( edit ) Painting of Petrus Gonsalvus ( c. 1580 ) Tatar ( 2017 ) compares the tale to the theme of `` animal brides and grooms '' found in folklore throughout the world , pointing out that the French tale was specifically intended for the preparation of young girls in 18th century France for arranged marriages . The urban opening is unusual in fairy tales , as is the social class of the characters , neither royal nor peasants . It may reflect the social changes occurring at the time of its first writing . Hamburger ( 2015 ) points out that the design of the Beast in the 1946 film adaptation by Jean Cocteau was inspired by the portrait of Petrus Gonsalvus , a native of Tenerife who suffered from hypertrichosis , causing an abnormal growth of hair on his face and other parts , and who came under the protection of the French king and married a beautiful Parisian woman named Catherine . Modern uses and adaptations ( edit ) The tale has been notably adapted for screen , stage , prose , and television over the years .

Fashion Beast , a 1985 screenplay by Alan Moore , was adapted into a graphic novel in 2012 . In The Last Wish ( 1993 ) by Andrzej Sapkowski , the story `` A Grain of Truth '' is very similar to `` Beauty and the Beast '' , though the beast enjoys being a beast and the daughters of various merchants willingly live with him in exchange for money .

Film ( edit ) A French version entitled La Belle et la Bête was made in 1946 , directed by Jean Cocteau , starring Jean Marais as the Beast and Josette Day as the Beauty . This version adds a subplot involving Belle 's suitor Avenant , also played by Marais . A 1952 animated feature film , The Scarlet Flower , based upon Aksakov 's aforementioned tale , was directed by Lev Atamanov and produced at the Soyuzmultfilm . It was restored at the Gorky Film Studio in 1987 , and is now widely available on several video and DVD editions in Russia ( an English - subtitled version has not been released ) . A 1962 version directed by Edward L. Cahn , starring Joyce Taylor and Mark Damon , had the Beast as a prince who transformed into a werewolf at night , with makeup by Universal 's Jack Pierce . In 1987 , The Cannon Group and Golan - Globus Productions released Beauty and the Beast , a musical live - action version , directed by Eugene Marner , starring John Savage as Beast , and Rebecca De Mornay as Beauty , with original music by Lori McKelvey . It was released on VHS in 1988 by Cannon Video , and on DVD in 2005 by MGM Home Entertainment . In 1991 , Walt Disney Feature Animation produced a musical animated film entitled Beauty and the Beast , directed by Kirk Wise and Gary Trousdale , with a screenplay by Linda Woolverton , and songs by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman . Like the 1946 version , the Disney version also names Beauty `` Belle '' and gives her a handsome suitor ( here named Gaston ) who eventually plots to kill the Beast . The Beast is depicted to having the head structure and horns of a bison , the jaws , teeth , and mane of a lion , the eyebrow of a gorilla , the tusks of a wild boar , the arms and body of a bear , and the hind legs and tail of a wolf . Children 's film producer Diane Eskenazi produced Beauty and the Beast , directed by Masakazu Higuchi and Chinami Namba , for Golden Films in 1993 . The film , which relied on moderate animation techniques but was mostly faithful to the original tale , featured classical compositions as opposed to an original soundtrack , featuring the works of many well - known popular composers . This film 's version of the Beast has the body of a gorilla , the mane of a lion , the snout and tusks of a common warthog , and the tail of a bull . The theme of the music video `` I 'd Do Anything for Love ( But I Wo n't Do That ) '' by Meat Loaf , released in 1993 , is adapted from Beauty and the Beast . A 2005 Viking period film directed by David Lister was alternately known as Beauty and the Beast and Blood of Beasts . A dark version of the fairy tale updated to modern times , director Robert Beaucage 's 2008 film Spike , was described ( at its premiere at the Edinburgh International Film Festival where it was chosen as part of the Best of the Fest ) as `` Angela Carter rewriting La Belle et la Bête as an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer '' . Another modern take is Beastly starring Alex Pettyfer as the beast ( named Kyle ) and Vanessa Hudgens as the love interest ( named Lindy ) . Directed by Daniel Barnz it is based on the book Beastly mentioned above . Beauty and the Beast , a French - German film , released in 2014 . Beauty and the Beast , a Disney live - action remake of the 1991 animated film , starring Emma Watson and Dan Stevens , was released on March 17 , 2017 . Television ( edit ) George C. Scott appeared as the Beast in a made - for - TV rendition in 1976 , with his second wife , Patricia `` Trish '' Van Devere , co-starring alongside him as Belle in the film , which aired as part of the Hallmark Hall of Fame . Scott was nominated for an Emmy for his performance . In 1984 , Shelley Duvall 's Faerie Tale Theatre aired `` Beauty and the Beast '' , starring Klaus Kinski and Susan Sarandon . The script , sets , makeup , and costumes were based on the 1946 film . Beauty and the Beast , a television series which owed as much to detective shows and fantasy fiction as to the fairy tale , was originally broadcast from 1987 to 1989 . This was centered around the relationship between Catherine ( played by Linda Hamilton ) , an attorney who lived in New York City , and Vincent ( played by Ron Perlman ) , a gentle but lion - faced `` beast '' who dwells in the tunnels beneath the city . Wendy Pini created two issues of a comic - book adaptation of the TV series . The series was cancelled when ratings fell after Hamilton decided to leave the show at the end of the second season . Beauty and the Beast was featured in Grimm 's Fairy Tale Classics . In this version , the Beast had an ogre - like appearance and appeared at the Merchant 's house when his time to give him Beauty came . Outside of Beauty breaking the spell on the Beast enough to turn him back into a prince , the two of them sent birds to carry messages of their marriage . The narrator commented that he learned of this story because `` a little birdie told him '' . A version of `` Beauty and the Beast '' was featured in Happily Ever After : Fairy Tales for Every Child . The story is set in Africa and features the voices of Vanessa L. Williams as the Beauty , Gregory Hines as the Beast , Debbie Allen as Precious , Terrence C. Carson as the Tree , and Paul Winfield as the Father . A loose adaption of the story was featured in the animated series Stories from My Childhood . The voice cast included Amy Irving as the Beauty , Tim Curry as the Beast and Robert Loggia as the Beauty 's father . Beauty & the Beast ( 2012 ) is a reworking of the 1987 TV series with Jay Ryan and Kristin Kreuk reprising the roles that Perlman and Hamilton , respectively , had originated in that production . A variation of the story was incorporated into an episode of the ABC TV series Once Upon a Time entitled `` Skin Deep '' , in which Beauty / Belle is played by Emilie de Ravin and the Beast is Rumpelstiltskin ( played by Robert Carlyle ) . While Belle had appeared in Sofia the First , the Beast was n't featured . Instead , a variation of the story is used in the episode `` Beauty is the Beast '' where Princess Charlotte of Isleworth ( voiced by Megan Hilty ) was turned into a Beast by the powerful enchantress Zinessa ( voiced by Meredith Roberts Quill ) because she was rude and insensitive to Zinessa 's friend Morris the Goblin ( voiced by Andrew Rannells ) . The description of her Beast form is a cross between a human and a wild boar with a wolf - like tail . Once Princess Charlotte vouched for Morris the Goblin upon the royal guards arresting him and became friends with him in front of her parents King Philip and Queen Everly ( voiced by Fritz Sperburg and Jamie Denbo ) upon being encouraged by Sofia , the spell on Princess Charlotte was broken and Zinessa left in cat form while quoting to Princess Charlotte `` well done . '' After thanking Sofia who was transported back to Enchancia , Princess Charlotte invited Morris to the Summer Ball . Theatre ( edit ) In 1994 , Philip Glass wrote an opera , La Belle et la Bête , based on Cocteau 's film . Glass 's composition follows the film scene by scene , effectively providing a new original soundtrack for the movie . The Disney film was adapted for the stage as Beauty and the Beast by Linda Woolverton and Alan Menken , who had worked on the film . Howard Ashman , the original lyricist , had died , and additional lyrics were written by Tim Rice . In 2011 , a new ballet adaptation of Beauty and the Beast was created by choreographer David Nixon for Northern Ballet . Works by several composers , including Bizet and Poulenc , were used for the score . Other ( edit ) A hidden object game , Mystery Legends : Beauty and the Beast , was released in 2012 . The narrative of the Sierra Entertainment adventure game King 's Quest VI follows several fairy tales , and Beauty and the Beast is the focus of one multiple part quest . Stevie Nicks recorded a song based on the fairy tale for her 1983 solo album , The Wild Heart . Real Life based the video for their signature hit `` Send Me an Angel '' on the fairy story . Disco producer Alec R. Costandinos released a twelve inch by his side project Love & Kisses with the theme of the fairy - tale set to a disco melody in 1978 .

When the man reaches the road , the Creeper drops from the sky and flies off with him , while another man watches from his truck . When he gets out to investigate , he looks up in the air and sees at first a machete and finally , a severed hand fall from the sky . Twenty - three years later , shortly after the events of the first film , the police discover the Creeper 's truck filled with dead bodies . The truck has been rigged with several booby - traps , including spikes that emerge from the bed of the truck , and a spear that shoots out from the tail - pipe . When Sheriff Dan Tashtego arrives , Sergeant Davis Tubbs tells him what happened and Tashtego informs him that the Creeper has been around for thousands of years and must be stopped . They then rush to get the Creeper 's truck back after learning it is headed for the impound . As Frank and Deputy Lang transport the vehicle , the Creeper lands on the tow truck and severs the cables . They then watch as the truck drives off seemingly on its own , while the Creeper stands on top of it . When the truck returns , the Creeper abducts Frank while Lang stands frozen in fear . The next day , Gaylen Brandon sees a vision of her son Kenny , who was killed by the Creeper twenty - three years earlier . He warns her that the Creeper will return soon to uncover something buried on the property and will kill anyone who is still there , including her and her granddaughter , Addison , when it does . Meanwhile , Tashtego informs Tubbs that he has put together a small team to hunt down the Creeper and kill it once and for all . Later , a group of teenagers discover the Creeper 's truck in a field . After finding the bodies , they take off on dirt bikes , but Kirk is shot in the leg with the spear . As two of the other boys try to free him , the Creeper returns and kills them both with another spear . The last boy is abducted by the Creeper as he tries to escape after peeing on the Creeper 's truck . Later , Addison goes into town to buy hay for her horse . When she ca n't pay for it , her friend Buddy helps her out and the two drive to a plantation house to deliver more hay . There they find the owner and a couple of men hiding under cars , but before they can get help the Creeper arrives and abducts Addison , leaving Buddy traumatized . Gaylen discovers a sack containing the Creeper 's severed hand buried in her front yard , and when she touches it she goes into a hypnotic state . When Tashtego and Tubbs arrive with the team , she reveals that the hand contains secrets about the Creeper 's origins , and Tashtego decides to touch it to uncover a way to kill it . Addison wakes up in the Creeper 's truck with Kirk , and together they try to find a way out , but when Kirk reaches for the door handle a metal pipe shoots out and impales him in the head . Meanwhile , Tashtego and Tubbs discover the Creeper 's location , and they head off to find him , along with Michael ( who has a machine gun attached to his truck ) . They find the Creeper driving down the highway in his truck , but when they shoot at it , the bullets deflect , and Michael is killed . A small explosive is ejected from the bottom of the Creeper 's truck , and when it goes off , Tashtego and Tubbs ' car lands in a field . Tubbs gets out and tries to shoot the Creeper , but all of his attempts fail . However , before the Creeper can kill Tubbs , Tashtego calls him and he goes for him instead . When the Creeper jumps into the air , Tashtego shoots him several times with the machine gun , but the bullets have no effect and he is tackled to the ground and struck in the head with an axe . That night , the Creeper discovers that Addison is still alive , but before he can kill her , she causes the metal pipe to shoot out and impale him in the head . She quickly escapes and runs through a field , and the Creeper throws a shuriken which barely misses her head . He then throws a spear at her , which also barely misses her . He tries one last time to hit her with an axe , but he is hit by a truck , the axe lands directly at her feet and Addison runs away , leaving the weapon on the ground . When the truck driver gets out to see what happened , he is killed by the Creeper . Addison runs and hides in a field where she is found by Gaylen and Buddy and the three leave together . The Creeper later returns to Gaylen 's house where he finds a sign that says ' We know what you are ' , along with the hand , and yells out in anger . The next day , Addison says goodbye to Buddy before he leaves for a high school basketball game in the same bus that is attacked by the Creeper in the second movie . Twenty - three years later , Trish Jenner is seen reading a letter she presumably wrote on a computer calling for people to fight against the Creeper when it returns , and vows to get revenge on the Creeper for the death of her brother , Darry . Cast ( edit ) Jonathan Breck as The Creeper Stan Shaw as Sheriff Dan Tashtego Meg Foster as Gaylen Brandon Brandon Smith as Sergeant Davis Tubbs Gabrielle Haugh as Addison Brandon Ryan Moore as Kirk Mathers Meg Wright as Gracie Mathers Chester Rushing as Buddy Hooks Jordan Salloum as Kenny Brandon Gina Philips as Patricia `` Trish '' Jenner ( cameo ) Michael Sirow as Michael Miller Joyce Giraud as Deputy Dana Lang Jason Bayle as Cal Hooks Michael Papajohn as Frank Thomas Francis Murphy as Mr. Bernardi Carrie Lazar as Beth Mathers Production ( edit ) The third film was in talks even before Jeepers Creepers 2 was released back in 2003 . In 2006 , the movie was `` announced '' and was tentatively called Jeepers Creepers 3 : The Creeper Walks Among Us . MGM had originally planned to release the movie direct to DVD , but was unable to find proper financing . The movie 's script was written by director Victor Salva , with the new title Jeepers Creepers 3 : Cathedral , with Gina Philips returning as Trish Jenner from the first film . For nine more years , the film faced many false starts and setbacks , with Victor Salva saying `` the film has come close many times to going before the cameras , and I hope someone sees the wisdom in shooting this '' . Officially on September 11 , 2015 , the movie got the green light to start filming from Myriad Pictures , and was to begin filming in early 2016 . However , before filming could begin in Vancouver , British Columbia , Canadian talent agencies sent out an alert to warn others about Victor Salva 's criminal past , and then the casting calls were removed , which halted the production . However , producer Stan Spry assured a fan on Twitter that the movie was not cancelled . On the special edition Blu - ray release of Jeepers Creepers 2 , Victor Salva stated that he has written a new script for Jeepers Creepers 3 set between the days of Jeepers Creepers and Jeepers Creepers 2 , where the Creeper terrorizes a farming community . Plans changed yet again , as Gina Philips was brought in to reprise her role as Trish in a cameo . The film 's plot is set in between the first two films , in the year 2001 , although the original Cathedral storyline had the film take place 23 years after the first two films . Actor Stan Shaw , who plays a sheriff in this film , confirmed to a fan on Twitter that the Cathedral storyline was scrapped as that material was more than 12 years old . Filming ( edit ) In January 2017 , it was confirmed the film was back in pre-production and that filming would begin in February 2017 in Louisiana , instead of Canada as originally planned ( more closely duplicating the Florida setting of the original film ) . Principal photography finally began on February 15 , 2017 in Baton Rouge , Louisiana . On April 4 , one of the cameramen of the production revealed in their social networks that the filming was already finished . Release ( edit ) During an interview for the Edmond Sun , Justin Hall specifically revealed that the film would be released on September 4 , but nothing was confirmed by Victor Salva or the movie studio . On August 16 , the AMC Theatres website stated Jeepers Creepers 3 opens on September 26 , 2017 . On August 29 , selected theaters began selling tickets along with the official poster , revealing that the film would be on display for only one night . Fathom Events then announced that the film 's premiere would also feature never - before - seen bonus pictures and an interview with Jonathan Breck , who plays the Creeper in all three franchise films . A second showing in theaters on October 4 was later added . Fandango updated the brief film synopsis shortly after , `` this Fall , the Creeper returns . See the next film in the iconic horror franchise when Jeepers Creepers 3 returns for a special encore event in movie theaters nationwide for only one night on Wednesday , October 4 . '' Other participating theaters included Marcus Theaters and Galaxy Theaters The film 's Facebook account announced that the film would have its television premiere on the Syfy network on October 28 , 2017 . The channel aired an encore showing on October 29 . Home media ( edit ) The film was released on DVD and Blu - ray on December 26 , 2017 . Marketing ( edit ) Since the announcement of the final filming , several photos began to appear on the internet implying that they were photos leaked from the post-production of Jeepers Creepers 3 , mainly for presenting the actor Stan Shaw that had already been confirmed in the film . The photos ended up being confirmed and shortly after it was released a Behind the Scenes video of the film in social networks . The first teaser trailer for 30 seconds was released on September 6 and the official trailer for the movie was released on September 15 on various YouTube trailer channels . Controversy ( edit ) Jeepers Creepers 3 sparked controversy over using child molestation as a plotline , which resulted in criticism of the film due to director Victor Salva 's 1988 incarceration for sexual abuse of a 12 - year - old and possession of child pornography . The dialogue `` Can you blame him though ? I mean look at her , the heart wants what it wants , am I right ? '' , in reference to the film 's character of a sexual abuse victim , was singled out for criticism , ultimately being removed from the theatrical cut , although it was present in the screened version delivered to critics . Reception ( edit ) Box Office ( edit ) During its limited two - day run , Jeepers Creepers 3 grossed US $ 2.3 million in the United States and US $997,710 in other territories for a worldwide total of US $3.2 million . The film opened in 635 theaters for one day and debuted in # 3 in Tuesday box office rankings , alongside Kingsman : The Golden Circle and It . Critical response ( edit ) On Rotten Tomatoes , the film holds a negative approval rating of 20 % based on 5 reviews , with a weighted average rating of 4.1 / 10 . Film critic Steve Pulaski gave the film a mixed review , saying that `` through all its shortcomings , some admittedly due to what the wonders the passing of time does to one 's expectations , I did find some enjoyment in Jeepers Creepers 3 . All of these films have been a tad different from their predecessor , and this one is no exception . It clearly wants to give fans something they can appreciate , it just does n't always know the best route . '' Steve Barton in review to Dread Central gave the film three and a half out of five stars and said , `` at the end of the day if you 're a fan of the franchise , you 'll be happy with this latest entry ... which for my tastes is better than the second but just falls short of the goodness and quality of the original experience . The door has been left open for Jeepers Creepers 4 , and whether or not that will happen remains to be seen '' . However , Robert Yaniz , Jr. from We Got This Covered said that `` lacking in imagination or genuine scares , Jeepers Creepers 3 falls tragically short on just about every front '' . Adam Dileo from IGN gave his verdict saying that being `` an unremarkable entry in a cult favorite franchise , Jeepers Creepers 3 offers fans too little to get excited about . While the monster still rules its slice of country highway and the skies above it , the rest of the film crashes in the cornfields '' . Ernie Trinidad gave the film two out of five stars , stating that the film `` did n't deliver the story fans were anticipating nor provide enough incentive to want to return for the inevitable sequel '' . Trinidad also felt that the film 's daytime setting only managed to draw attention to its low quality CGI and make - up effects . Sequel ( edit ) In an interview for Diabolique , actress Gina Philips revealed that Victor Salva has a plot ready for a fourth installment . She said `` Victor has written what happens from the second after the conclusion of Jeepers Creepers 3 . I think that 's all I 'm allowed to say about it , but he wrote in such detail and he had a lot of flashbacks to what happened over the years that it made it very easy for me . I got to see what will eventually happen to the character and he put enough flashbacks in there that I got to see what happened to her over the last 15 years . Let 's just say , there 's more to come . '' See also ( edit ) Jeepers Creepers Jeepers Creepers 2 References ( edit ) Jump up ^ `` Jeepers Creepers 3 ( 2017 ) '' . Box Office Mojo .

For other uses , see B - 52 ( disambiguation ) and BUFF ( disambiguation ) . B - 52 Stratofortress A B - 52H from Barksdale AFB flying over desert Role Strategic bomber National origin United States Manufacturer Boeing First flight 15 April 1952 Introduction February 1955 Status In service Primary users United States Air Force NASA Produced 1952 -- 1962 Number built 744 Unit cost B - 52B : US $14.43 million ( 1956 ) ; ( $99.9 million in 2016 ) B - 52H : US $9.28 M ( 1962 ) ; ( $57.8 million in 2016 ) Developed into Conroy Virtus The Boeing B - 52 Stratofortress is an American long - range , subsonic , jet - powered strategic bomber . The B - 52 was designed and built by Boeing , which has continued to provide support and upgrades . It has been operated by the United States Air Force ( USAF ) since the 1950s . The bomber is capable of carrying up to 70,000 pounds ( 32,000 kg ) of weapons , and has a typical combat range of more than 8,800 miles ( 14,080 km ) without aerial refueling . Beginning with the successful contract bid in June 1946 , the B - 52 design evolved from a straight wing aircraft powered by six turboprop engines to the final prototype YB - 52 with eight turbojet engines and swept wings . The B - 52 took its maiden flight in April 1952 . Built to carry nuclear weapons for Cold War - era deterrence missions , the B - 52 Stratofortress replaced the Convair B - 36 . A veteran of several wars , the B - 52 has dropped only conventional munitions in combat . The B - 52 's official name Stratofortress is rarely used ; informally , the aircraft has become commonly referred to as the BUFF ( Big Ugly Fat Fucker ) . The B - 52 has been in active service with the USAF since 1955 . As of December 2015 , 58 were in active service with 18 in reserve . The bombers flew under the Strategic Air Command ( SAC ) until it was disestablished in 1992 and its aircraft absorbed into the Air Combat Command ( ACC ) ; in 2010 all B - 52 Stratofortresses were transferred from the ACC to the newly created Air Force Global Strike Command ( AFGSC ) . Superior performance at high subsonic speeds and relatively low operating costs have kept the B - 52 in service despite the advent of later , more advanced aircraft , including the canceled Mach 3 B - 70 Valkyrie , the variable - geometry B - 1 Lancer , and the stealth B - 2 Spirit . The B - 52 completed sixty years of continuous service with its original operator in 2015 . After being upgraded between 2013 and 2015 , it is expected to serve into the 2050s .

The aircraft was to have a crew of five or more turret gunners , and a six - man relief crew . It was required to cruise at 300 mph ( 260 knots , 480 km / h ) at 34,000 feet ( 10,400 m ) with a combat radius of 5,000 miles ( 4,300 nautical miles , 8,000 km ) . The armament was to consist of an unspecified number of 20 mm cannon and 10,000 pounds ( 4,500 kg ) of bombs . On 13 February 1946 , the Air Force issued bid invitations for these specifications , with Boeing , Consolidated Aircraft , and Glenn L. Martin Company submitting proposals . On 5 June 1946 , Boeing 's Model 462 , a straight - wing aircraft powered by six Wright T35 turboprops with a gross weight of 360,000 pounds ( 160,000 kg ) and a combat radius of 3,110 miles ( 2,700 nmi , 5,010 km ) , was declared the winner . On 28 June 1946 , Boeing was issued a letter of contract for US $1.7 million to build a full - scale mock - up of the new XB - 52 and do preliminary engineering and testing . However , by October 1946 , the air force began to express concern about the sheer size of the new aircraft and its inability to meet the specified design requirements . In response , Boeing produced Model 464 , a smaller four - engine version with a 230,000 pound ( 105,000 kg ) gross weight , which was briefly deemed acceptable . Subsequently , in November 1946 , the Deputy Chief of Air Staff for Research and Development , General Curtis LeMay , expressed the desire for a cruise speed of 400 miles per hour ( 345 kn , 645 km / h ) , to which Boeing responded with a 300,000 lb ( 136,000 kg ) aircraft . In December 1946 , Boeing was asked to change their design to a four - engine bomber with a top speed of 400 miles per hour , range of 12,000 miles ( 10,000 nmi , 19,300 km ) , and the ability to carry a nuclear weapon ; in total , the aircraft could weigh up to 480,000 pounds ( 220,000 kg ) . Boeing responded with two models powered by T35 turboprops . The Model 464 - 16 was a `` nuclear only '' bomber with a 10,000 pound ( 4,500 kg ) payload , while the Model 464 - 17 was a general purpose bomber with a 9,000 pound ( 4,000 kg ) payload . Due to the cost associated with purchasing two specialized aircraft , the air force selected Model 464 - 17 with the understanding that it could be adapted for nuclear strikes . In June 1947 , the military requirements were updated and the Model 464 - 17 met all of them except for the range . It was becoming obvious to the Air Force that , even with the updated performance , the XB - 52 would be obsolete by the time it entered production and would offer little improvement over the Convair B - 36 ; as a result , the entire project was postponed for six months . During this time , Boeing continued to perfect the design , which resulted in the Model 464 - 29 with a top speed of 455 miles per hour ( 395 kn , 730 km / h ) and a 5,000 - mile range . In September 1947 , the Heavy Bombardment Committee was convened to ascertain performance requirements for a nuclear bomber . Formalized on 8 December 1947 , these requirements called for a top speed of 500 miles per hour ( 440 kn , 800 km / h ) and an 8,000 mile ( 7,000 nmi , 13,000 km ) range , far beyond the capabilities of 464 - 29 . The outright cancellation of the Boeing contract on 11 December 1947 was staved off by a plea from its president William McPherson Allen to the Secretary of the Air Force Stuart Symington . Allen reasoned that the design was capable of being adapted to new aviation technology and more stringent requirements . In January 1948 Boeing was instructed to thoroughly explore recent technological innovations , including aerial refueling and the flying wing . Noting stability and control problems Northrop was experiencing with their YB - 35 and YB - 49 flying wing bombers , Boeing insisted on a conventional aircraft , and in April 1948 presented a US $30 million ( US $306 million today ) proposal for design , construction , and testing of two Model 464 - 35 prototypes . Further revisions during 1948 resulted in an aircraft with a top speed of 513 miles per hour ( 445 kn , 825 km / h ) at 35,000 feet ( 10,700 m ) , a range of 6,909 miles ( 6,005 nmi , 11,125 km ) , and a 280,000 pounds ( 125,000 kg ) gross weight , which included 10,000 pounds ( 4,500 kg ) of bombs and 19,875 US gallons ( 75,225 L ) of fuel . Design effort ( edit ) XB - 52 Prototype on flight line ( X-4 in foreground ) Side view of YB - 52 bomber , with bubble canopy similar to that of the B - 47 In May 1948 , AMC asked Boeing to incorporate the previously discarded , but now more fuel - efficient , jet engine into the design . That resulted in the development of yet another revision -- in July 1948 , Model 464 - 40 substituted Westinghouse J40 turbojets for the turboprops . The Air Force project officer who reviewed the Model 464 - 40 was favorably impressed , especially since he had already been thinking along similar lines . Nevertheless , the government was concerned about the high fuel consumption rate of the jet engines of the day , and directed that Boeing still use the turboprop - powered Model 464 - 35 as the basis for the XB - 52 . Although he agreed that turbojet propulsion was the future , General Howard A. Craig , Deputy Chief of Staff for Material , was not very keen on a jet - powered B - 52 , since he felt that the jet engine had not yet progressed sufficiently to permit skipping an intermediate turboprop stage . However , Boeing was encouraged to continue turbojet studies even without any expected commitment to jet propulsion . On Thursday , 21 October 1948 , Boeing engineers George S. Schairer , Art Carlsen and Vaughn Blumenthal presented the design of a four - engine turboprop bomber to the chief of bomber development , Colonel Pete Warden . Warden was disappointed by the projected aircraft and asked if the Boeing team could come up with a proposal for a four - engine turbojet bomber . Joined by Ed Wells , Boeing vice president of engineering , the engineers worked that night in The Hotel Van Cleve in Dayton , Ohio , redesigning Boeing 's proposal as a four - engine turbojet bomber . On Friday , Colonel Warden looked over the information and asked for a better design . Returning to the hotel , the Boeing team was joined by Bob Withington and Maynard Pennell , two top Boeing engineers who were in town on other business . By late Friday night , they had laid out what was essentially a new airplane . The new design ( 464 - 49 ) built upon the basic layout of the B - 47 Stratojet with 35 degree swept wings , eight engines paired in four underwing pods , and bicycle landing gear with wingtip outrigger wheels . A notable feature of the landing gear was the ability to pivot the main landing gear up to 20 ° from the aircraft centerline to increase safety during crosswind landings . After a trip to a hobby shop for supplies , Schairer set to work building a model . The rest of the team focused on weight and performance data . Wells , who was also a skilled artist , completed the aircraft drawings . On Sunday , a stenographer was hired to type a clean copy of the proposal . On Monday , Schairer presented Colonel Warden with a neatly bound 33 - page proposal and a 14 - inch scale model . The aircraft was projected to exceed all design specifications . Although the full - size mock - up inspection in April 1949 was generally favorable , range again became a concern since the J40s and early model J57s had excessive fuel consumption . Despite talk of another revision of specifications or even a full design competition among aircraft manufacturers , General LeMay , now in charge of Strategic Air Command , insisted that performance should not be compromised due to delays in engine development . In a final attempt to increase range , Boeing created the larger 464 - 67 , stating that once in production , the range could be further increased in subsequent modifications . Following several direct interventions by LeMay , Boeing was awarded a production contract for thirteen B - 52As and seventeen detachable reconnaissance pods on 14 February 1951 . The last major design change -- also at General LeMay 's insistence -- was a switch from the B - 47 style tandem seating to a more conventional side - by - side cockpit , which increased the effectiveness of the copilot and reduced crew fatigue . Both XB - 52 prototypes featured the original tandem seating arrangement with a framed bubble - type canopy . Pre-production and production ( edit ) The YB - 52 , the second XB - 52 modified with more operational equipment , first flew on 15 April 1952 with `` Tex '' Johnston as pilot . During ground testing on 29 November 1951 , the XB - 52 's pneumatic system failed during a full - pressure test ; the resulting explosion severely damaged the trailing edge of the wing , necessitating considerable repairs . A two - hour , 21 - minute proving flight from Boeing Field , King County , in Seattle , Washington to Larson AFB was undertaken with Boeing test pilot Johnston and air force Lieutenant Colonel Guy M. Townsend . The XB - 52 followed on 2 October 1952 . The thorough development , including 670 days in the wind tunnel and 130 days of aerodynamic and aeroelastic testing , paid off with smooth flight testing . Encouraged , the air force increased its order to 282 B - 52s .

All were returned to Boeing , and used in their test program . On 9 June 1952 , the February 1951 contract was updated to order the aircraft under new specifications . The final 10 , the first aircraft to enter active service , were completed as B - 52Bs . At the roll out ceremony on 18 March 1954 , Air Force Chief of Staff General Nathan Twining said : The long rifle was the great weapon of its day ... today this B - 52 is the long rifle of the air age . The B - 52B was followed by progressively improved bomber and reconnaissance variants , culminating in the B - 52G and turbofan B - 52H . To allow rapid delivery , production lines were set up both at its main Seattle factory and at Boeing 's Wichita facility . More than 5,000 companies were involved in the massive production effort , with 41 % of the airframe being built by subcontractors . The prototypes and all B - 52A , B and C models ( 90 aircraft ) were built at Seattle . Testing of aircraft built at Seattle caused problems due to jet noise , which led to the establishment of curfews for engine tests . Aircraft were ferried 150 miles ( 240 km ) east on their maiden flights to Larson Air Force Base near Moses Lake , where they were fully tested . As production of the B - 47 came to an end , the Wichita factory was phased in for B - 52D production , with Seattle responsible for 101 D - models and Wichita 69 . Both plants continued to build the B - 52E , with 42 built at Seattle and 58 at Wichita , and the B - 52F ( 44 from Seattle and 45 from Wichita ) . For the B - 52G , it was decided in 1957 to transfer all production to Wichita , which freed up Seattle for other tasks ( in particular the production of airliners ) . Production ended in 1962 with the B - 52H , with 742 aircraft built , plus the original two prototypes . Upgrades ( edit ) A proposed variant of the B - 52H was the EB - 52H , which would have consisted of 16 modified and augmented B - 52H airframes with additional electronic jamming capabilities . This variant would have restored USAF airborne jamming capability that it lost on retiring the EF - 111 Raven . The program was canceled in 2005 following the removal of funds for the stand - off jammer . The program was revived in 2007 , and cut again in early 2009 . In July 2013 , the Air Force began a fleet - wide technological upgrade of its B - 52 bombers called Combat Network Communications Technology ( CONECT ) to modernize electronics , communications technology , computing , and avionics on the flight deck . CONECT upgrades include software and hardware such as new computer servers , modems , radios , data - links , receivers , and digital workstations for the crew . One update is the ARC - 210 Warrior beyond - line - of - sight software programmable radio able to transmit voice , data , and information in - flight between B - 52s and ground command and control centers , allowing the transmission and reception of data with updated intelligence , mapping , and targeting information ; previous in - flight target changes required copying down coordinates . The ARC - 210 allows machine - to - machine transfer of data , useful on long - endurance missions where targets may have moved before the arrival of the B - 52 . The aircraft will be able to receive information through Link - 16 . CONECT upgrades will cost $1.1 billion overall and take several years . Funding has been secured for 30 B - 52s ; the Air Force hopes for 10 CONECT upgrades per year , but the rate has yet to be decided . Weapons upgrades include the 1760 Internal Weapons Bay Upgrade ( IWBU ) , which gives a 66 percent increase in weapons payload using a digital interface ( MIL - STD - 1760 ) and rotary launcher . IWBU is expected to cost roughly $313 million . The 1760 IWBU will allow the B - 52 to carry eight JDAM 2000 lb bombs , AGM - 158B JASSM - ER cruise missile and the ADM - 160C MALD - J decoy missiles internally . All 1760 IWBUs should be operational by October 2017 . Two bombers will have the ability to carry 40 weapons in place of the 36 that three B - 52s can carry . The 1760 IWBU allows precision - guided missiles or bombs to be deployed from inside the weapons bay ; previous aircraft carried these munitions externally on wing hardpoints . This increases the number of guided weapons a B - 52 can carry and reduces the need for guided bombs to be carried on the wings . The first phase will allow a B - 52 to carry twenty - four 500 - pound guided JDAM bombs or twenty 2,000 - pound JDAMs , with later phases accommodating the JASSM and MALD family of missiles . In addition to carrying more smart bombs , moving them internally from the wings reduces drag and achieves a 15 percent reduction in fuel consumption . Air Force scientists are working to arm the B - 52 with defensive laser weapons able to incinerate attacking air - to - air or surface - to - air missiles . Design ( edit ) Overview ( edit ) The B - 52 shared many technological similarities with the preceding Boeing B - 47 Stratojet strategic bomber . The two aircraft used the same basic design , such as swept wings and podded jet engines , and the cabin included the crew ejection systems . On the B - 52D , the pilots and electronic countermeasures ( EDM ) operator ejected upwards , while the lower deck crew ejected downwards ; until the B - 52G , the gunner had to jettison the tail gun to bail out . B - 52H ( AF Ser . No. 61 - 0023 ) , configured at the time as a testbed to investigate structural failures , still flying after its vertical stabilizer sheared off in severe turbulence on 10 January 1964 . The aircraft landed safely . Structural fatigue was accelerated by at least a factor of eight in a low - altitude flight profile over that of high - altitude flying , requiring costly repairs to extend service life . In the early 1960s , the three - phase High Stress program was launched to counter structural fatigue , enrolling aircraft at 2,000 flying hours . Follow - up programs were conducted , such as a 2,000 - hour service life extension to select airframes in 1966 -- 1968 , and the extensive Pacer Plank reskinning , completed in 1977 . The wet wing introduced on G and H models was even more susceptible to fatigue , experiencing 60 % more stress during flight than the old wing . The wings were modified by 1964 under ECP 1050 . This was followed by a fuselage skin and longeron replacement ( ECP 1185 ) in 1966 , and the B - 52 Stability Augmentation and Flight Control program ( ECP 1195 ) in 1967 . Fuel leaks due to deteriorating Marman clamps continued to plague all variants of the B - 52 . To this end , the aircraft were subjected to Blue Band ( 1957 ) , Hard Shell ( 1958 ) , and finally QuickClip ( 1958 ) programs . The latter fitted safety straps that prevented catastrophic loss of fuel in case of clamp failure . The B - 52 's service ceiling is officially listed as 50,000 feet , but operational experience shows this is difficult to reach when fully laden with bombs . According to one source : `` The optimal altitude for a combat mission was around 43,000 feet , because to exceed that height would rapidly degrade the plane 's range . '' In September 2006 , the B - 52 became one of the first US military aircraft to fly using alternative fuel . It took off from Edwards Air Force Base with a 50 / 50 blend of Fischer -- Tropsch process ( FT ) synthetic fuel and conventional JP - 8 jet fuel , which burned in two of the eight engines . On 15 December 2006 , a B - 52 took off from Edwards with the synthetic fuel powering all eight engines , the first time an air force aircraft was entirely powered by the blend . The seven - hour flight was considered a success . This program is part of the Department of Defense Assured Fuel Initiative , which aims to reduce crude oil usage and obtain half of its aviation fuel from alternative sources by 2016 . On 8 August 2007 , Air Force Secretary Michael Wynne certified the B - 52H as fully approved to use the FT blend . Flight controls ( edit ) Because of the B - 52 's mission parameters , only modest maneuvers would be required with no need for spin recovery . The aircraft has a relatively small , narrow chord rudder , giving it limited yaw control authority . Originally an all - moving vertical stabilizer was to be used , but was abandoned because of doubts about hydraulic actuator reliability . Because the aircraft has eight engines , asymmetrical thrust due to the loss of an engine in flight would be minimal and correctable with the narrow rudder . To assist with crosswind takeoffs and landings the main landing gear can be pivoted 20 degrees to either side from neutral . This yaw adjustable crosswind landing gear would be preset by the crew according to wind observations made on the ground . The elevator is also very narrow in chord like the rudder , and the B - 52 suffers from limited elevator control authority . For long term pitch trim and airspeed changes the aircraft uses an all - moving tail with the elevator used for small adjustments within a stabilizer setting . The stabilizer is adjustable through 13 degrees of movement ( nine up , four down ) and is crucial to operations during take off and landing due to large pitch changes induced by flap application . B - 52s prior to the G models had very small ailerons with a short span that was approximately equal to their chord . These `` feeler ailerons '' were used to provide feedback forces to the pilot 's control yoke and to fine tune the roll axes during delicate maneuvers such as aerial refueling . Due to twisting of the thin main wing , conventional outboard flap type ailerons would lose authority and therefore could not be used . In other words , aileron activation would cause the wing to twist , undermining roll control . Six spoilerons on each wing are responsible for the majority of roll control . The late B - 52G models eliminated the ailerons altogether and added an extra spoileron to each wing . Partly because of the lack of ailerons , the B - 52G and H models were more susceptible to Dutch roll . Avionics ( edit ) A view of the lower deck of the B - 52 , dubbed the battle station Ongoing problems with avionics systems were addressed in the Jolly Well program , completed in 1964 , which improved components of the AN / ASQ - 38 bombing navigational computer and the terrain computer . The MADREC ( Malfunction Detection and Recording ) upgrade fitted to most aircraft by 1965 could detect failures in avionics and weapons computer systems , and was essential in monitoring the Hound Dog missiles . The electronic countermeasures capability of the B - 52 was expanded with Rivet Rambler ( 1971 ) and Rivet Ace ( 1973 ) . To improve operations at low altitude , the AN / ASQ - 151 Electro - Optical Viewing System ( EVS ) , which consisted of a Low Light Level Television ( LLLTV ) and a Forward looking infrared ( FLIR ) system mounted in blisters under the noses of B - 52Gs and Hs between 1972 and 1976 . The navigational capabilities of the B - 52 were later augmented with the addition of GPS in the 1980s . The IBM AP - 101 , also used on the Rockwell B - 1 Lancer bomber and the Space Shuttle , was the B - 52 's main computer . In 2007 the LITENING targeting pod was fitted , which increased the effectiveness of the aircraft in the attack of ground targets with a variety of standoff weapons , using laser guidance , a high - resolution forward - looking infrared sensor ( FLIR ) , and a CCD camera used to obtain target imagery . LITENING pods have been fitted to a wide variety of other US aircraft , such as the McDonnell Douglas F / A-18 Hornet , the General Dynamics F - 16 Fighting Falcon and the McDonnell Douglas AV - 8B Harrier II . Armament ( edit ) The ability to carry up to 20 AGM - 69 SRAM nuclear missiles was added to G and H models , starting in 1971 . To further improve its offensive ability , air - launched cruise missiles ( ALCMs ) were fitted . After testing of both the Air Force - backed Boeing AGM - 86 and the Navy - backed General Dynamics AGM - 109 Tomahawk , the AGM - 86B was selected for operation by the B - 52 ( and ultimately by the B - 1 Lancer ) . A total of 194 B - 52Gs and Hs were modified to carry AGM - 86s , carrying 12 missiles on underwing pylons , with 82 B - 52Hs further modified to carry another eight missiles on a rotary launcher fitted in the bomb - bay . To conform with SALT II Treaty requirements that cruise missile - capable aircraft be readily identifiable by reconnaissance satellites , the cruise missile armed B - 52Gs were modified with a distinctive wing root fairing . As all B - 52Hs were assumed modified , no visual modification of these aircraft was required . In 1990 , the stealthy AGM - 129 ACM cruise missile entered service ; although intended to replace the AGM - 86 , a high cost and the Cold War 's end led to only 450 being produced ; unlike the AGM - 86 , no conventional ( non-nuclear ) version was built . The B - 52 was to have been modified to utilize Northrop Grumman 's AGM - 137 TSSAM weapon ; however , the missile was canceled due to development costs . A B - 52D with anti-flash white on the under side Those B - 52Gs not converted as cruise missile carriers underwent a series of modifications to improve conventional bombing . They were fitted with a new Integrated Conventional Stores Management System ( ICSMS ) and new underwing pylons that could hold larger bombs or other stores than could the external pylons . Thirty B - 52Gs were further modified to carry up to 12 AGM - 84 Harpoon anti-ship missiles each , while 12 B - 52Gs were fitted to carry the AGM - 142 Have Nap stand - off air - to - ground missile . When the B - 52G was retired in 1994 , an urgent scheme was launched to restore an interim Harpoon and Have Nap capability , the four aircraft being modified to carry Harpoon and four to carry Have Nap under the Rapid Eight program . The Conventional Enhancement Modification ( CEM ) program gave the B - 52H a more comprehensive conventional weapons capability , adding the modified underwing weapon pylons used by conventional - armed B - 52Gs , Harpoon and Have Nap , and the capability to carry new - generation weapons including the Joint Direct Attack Munition and Wind Corrected Munitions Dispenser guided bombs , the AGM - 154 glide bomb and the AGM - 158 JASSM missile . The CEM program also introduced new radios , integrated Global Positioning System into the aircraft 's navigation system and replaced the under - nose FLIR with a more modern unit . Forty - seven B - 52Hs were modified under the CEM program by 1996 , with 19 more by the end of 1999 . Starting in 2016 , Boeing is to upgrade the internal rotary launchers to the MIL - STD - 1760 interface to enable the internal carriage of smart bombs , which previously could only be carried on the wings . While the B - 1 Lancer technically has a larger theoretical payload of 75,000 lb compared to the B - 52 's 70,000 payload , the aircraft are rarely able to carry their full loads , the most the B - 52 carrying being a full load of AGM - 86Bs totaling 62,660 lb . The B - 1 has the internal weapons bay space to carry more GBU - 31 JDAMs and JASSMs , but the B - 52 upgraded with the conventional rotary launcher can carry more in other JDAM variants . Engines ( edit ) USAF B - 52H Stratofortress engines The eight engines of the B - 52 are paired in pods and suspended by four pylons beneath and forward of the wings ' leading edge . The careful arrangement of the pylons also allowed them to work as wing fences and delay the onset of stall . The first two prototypes , XB - 52 and YB - 52 , were both powered by experimental Pratt & Whitney YJ57 - P - 3 turbojet engines of 8,700 lbf ( 38.70 kN ) of static thrust each . The B - 52A models were equipped with Pratt & Whitney J57 - P - 1W turbojets , providing a dry thrust of 10,000 lbf ( 44.48 kN ) which could be increased for short periods to 11,000 lbf ( 48.93 kN ) with water injection . The water was carried in a 360 - gallon tank in the rear fuselage . B - 52B , C , D and E models were equipped with Pratt & Whitney J57 - P - 29W , J57 - P - 29WA , or J57 - P - 19W series engines all rated at 10,500 lbf ( 46.71 kN ) . The B - 52F and G models were powered by Pratt & Whitney J57 - P - 43WB turbojets , each rated at 13,750 lbf ( 61.16 kN ) static thrust with water injection . On May 9 , 1961 , B - 52H started being delivered to the Air Force with cleaner burning and quieter Pratt & Whitney TF33 - P - 3 turbofans with a maximum thrust of 17,100 lbf ( 76.06 kN ) . Engine retrofit ( edit ) For a study for the U.S. Air Force in the mid-1970s , Boeing investigated replacing the engines , changing to a new wing , and other improvements to upgrade B - 52G / H aircraft as an alternative to the B - 1A , then in development . In 1982 , Pratt & Whitney studied retrofitting B - 52s with four Pratt & Whitney PW2000 ( F117 ) engines , but this was not done , since all B - 52s were to be replaced by B - 1s and B - 2s by the late 1990s . In 1996 Rolls - Royce and Boeing jointly proposed to fit B - 52s with four leased Rolls - Royce RB211 - 535 engines , but this plan failed because of Air Force resistance to leasing combat assets and a negative Air Force economic analysis which was later disputed as flawed . This would involve replacing the eight Pratt & Whitney TF33 engines ( total thrust 8 × 17,000 lb ) with four RB211 engines ( total thrust 4 × 37,400 lb ) , which would increase range and reduce fuel consumption , at a cost of approximately US $2.56 billion for the whole fleet ( 71 aircraft at $36 million each ) . However , an Air Force analysis in 1997 concluded that Boeing 's estimated savings of US $4.7 billion would not be realized and that re-engining would instead cost US $1.3 billion over keeping the existing engines , citing significant up - front procurement and re-tooling expenditure , as well as the RB211 's higher maintenance cost . The Air Force 's 1997 rejection of re-engining was subsequently disputed in a Defense Science Board ( DSB ) report in 2003 . The DSB urged the Air Force to re-engine the aircraft without delay , saying doing so would not only create significant cost savings , but reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase aircraft range and endurance ; these conclusions were in line with the conclusions of a separate Congress - funded study conducted in 2003 . Criticizing the Air Force cost analysis , the DSB found that among other things , the Air Force failed to account for the cost of aerial refueling ; the DSB estimated that refueling in the air cost $17.50 per gallon , whereas the Air Force had failed to account for the cost of fuel delivery and so had only priced fuel at $1.20 per gallon . As the TF33 overhaul cost tripled in a decade , a joint Boeing / USAF study in 2003 recommended a $4 -- 4.7 billion re-engining , allowing $11 -- 15 billion cost savings while increasing B - 52H combat range by 22 % and tripling loiter time on station , proposing a competition between the RB211 , PW2000 , and eight CFM56 engines financed by an Energy Savings Performance Contract . In 2014 , the U.S. Air Force was reviewing industry studies of engine replacement . As of 2014 , the engine retrofit has not been approved . In late 2014 , it was reported that the DOD and unnamed private companies were exploring a leasing program where private lease companies would purchase new engines and lease them to the USAF . DOD costs would be determined by depreciation and actual usage with no up - front lump payments . Costs ( edit ) Costs per aircraft .

Operational History ( edit ) Introduction ( edit ) Although the B - 52A was the first production variant , these aircraft were used only in testing . The first operational version was the B - 52B that had been developed in parallel with the prototypes since 1951 . First flying in December 1954 , B - 52B , AF Serial Number 52 - 8711 , entered operational service with 93rd Heavy Bombardment Wing ( 93rd BW ) at Castle Air Force Base , California , on 29 June 1955 . The wing became operational on 12 March 1956 . The training for B - 52 crews consisted of five weeks of ground school and four weeks of flying , accumulating 35 to 50 hours in the air . The new B - 52Bs replaced operational B - 36s on a one - to - one basis . Early operations were problematic ; in addition to supply problems , there were also technical issues . Ramps and taxiways deteriorated under the aircraft 's weight , the fuel system was prone to leaks and icing , and bombing and fire control computers were unreliable . The split level cockpit presented a temperature control problem -- the pilots ' cockpit was heated by sunlight while the observer and the navigator on the bottom deck sat on the ice - cold floor . Thus , a comfortable temperature setting for the pilots caused the other crew members to freeze , while a comfortable temperature for the bottom crew caused the pilots to overheat . The J57 engines proved unreliable . Alternator failure caused the first fatal B - 52 crash in February 1956 ; as a result , the fleet was briefly grounded . In July , fuel and hydraulic issues grounded the B - 52s again . In response to maintenance issues , the air force set up `` Sky Speed '' teams of 50 contractors at each B - 52 base to perform maintenance and routine checkups , taking an average of one week per aircraft . Three B - 52Bs of the 93rd Bomb Wing prepare to depart March AFB for Castle AFB , California , after their record - setting round - the - world flight in 1957 . On 21 May 1956 , a B - 52B ( 52 - 0013 ) dropped a Mk - 15 nuclear bomb over the Bikini Atoll in a test code - named Cherokee . It was the first air - dropped thermonuclear weapon . This aircraft now is on display at the National Museum of Nuclear Science and History in Albuquerque , NM . From 24 to 25 November 1956 , four B - 52Bs of the 93rd BW and four B - 52Cs of the 42nd BW flew nonstop around the perimeter of North America in Operation Quick Kick , which covered 15,530 miles ( 13,500 nmi , 25,000 km ) in 31 hours , 30 minutes . SAC noted the flight time could have been reduced by 5 to 6 hours had the four inflight refuelings been done by fast jet - powered tanker aircraft rather than propeller - driven Boeing KC - 97 Stratofreighters . In a demonstration of the B - 52 's global reach , from 16 to 18 January 1957 , three B - 52Bs made a non-stop flight around the world during Operation Power Flite , during which 24,325 miles ( 21,145 nmi , 39,165 km ) was covered in 45 hours 19 minutes ( 536.8 smph ) with several in - flight refuelings by KC - 97s . The B - 52 set many records over the next few years . On 26 September 1958 , a B - 52D set a world speed record of 560.705 miles per hour ( 487 kn , 902 km / h ) over a 10,000 kilometers ( 5,400 nmi , 6,210 mi ) closed circuit without a payload . The same day , another B - 52D established a world speed record of 597.675 miles per hour ( 519 kn , 962 km / h ) over a 5,000 kilometer ( 2,700 nmi , 3,105 mi ) closed circuit without a payload . On 14 December 1960 , a B - 52G set a world distance record by flying unrefueled for 10,078.84 miles ( 8,762 nmi , 16,227 km ) ; the flight lasted 19 hours 44 minutes ( 510.75 mph ) . From 10 to 11 January 1962 , a B - 52H ( 60 - 0040 ) set a world distance record by flying unrefueled , surpassing the prior B - 52 record set two years earlier , from Kadena Air Base , Okinawa Prefecture , Japan , to Torrejón Air Base , Spain , which covered 12,532.28 miles ( 10,895 nmi , 20,177 km ) . The flight passed over Seattle , Fort Worth and the Azores . Cold War ( edit ) Main article : Cold War When the B - 52 entered into service , the Strategic Air Command ( SAC ) intended to use it to deter and counteract the vast and modernizing Soviet military . As the Soviet Union increased its nuclear capabilities , destroying or `` countering '' the forces that would deliver nuclear strikes ( bombers , missiles , etc . ) became of great strategic importance . The Eisenhower administration endorsed this switch in focus ; the President in 1954 expressing a preference for military targets over civilian ones , a principle reinforced in the Single Integrated Operation Plan ( SIOP ) , a plan of action in the case of nuclear war breaking out . Southerly route of the `` Operation Chrome Dome '' airborne nuclear alert Throughout the Cold War , B - 52s and other US strategic bombers performed airborne alert patrols under code names such as Head Start , Chrome Dome , Hard Head , Round Robin , and Giant Lance . Bombers loitered at high altitude near the borders of the Soviet Union to provide rapid first strike or retaliation capability in case of nuclear war . These airborne patrols formed one component of the US 's nuclear deterrent , which would act to prevent the breakout of a large - scale war between the US and the Soviet Union under the concept of Mutually Assured Destruction . Due to the late 1950s - era threat of surface - to - air missiles ( SAMs ) that could threaten high - altitude aircraft , seen in practice in the 1960 U-2 incident , the intended use of B - 52 was changed to serve as a low - level penetration bomber during a foreseen attack upon the Soviet Union , as terrain masking provided an effective method of avoiding radar and thus the threat of the SAMs . Although never intended for the low level role , the B - 52 's flexibility allowed it to outlast several intended successors as the nature of aerial warfare changed . The B - 52 's large airframe enabled the addition of multiple design improvements , new equipment , and other adaptations over its service life . In November 1959 , to improve the aircraft 's combat capabilities in the changing strategic environment , SAC initiated the Big Four modification program ( also known as Modification 1000 ) for all operational B - 52s except early B models . The program was completed by 1963 . The four modifications were the ability to launch AGM - 28 Hound Dog standoff nuclear missiles and ADM - 20 Quail decoys , an advanced electronic countermeasures ( ECM ) suite , and upgrades to perform the all - weather , low - altitude ( below 500 feet or 150 m ) interdiction mission in the face of advancing Soviet missile - based air defenses . In the 1960s , there were concerns over the fleet 's capable lifespan . Several projects beyond the B - 52 , the Convair B - 58 Hustler and North American XB - 70 Valkyrie , had either been aborted or proved disappointing in light of changing requirements , which left the older B - 52 as the main bomber as opposed to the planned successive aircraft models . On 19 February 1965 , General Curtis E. LeMay testified to Congress that the lack of a follow - up bomber project to the B - 52 raised the danger that , `` The B - 52 is going to fall apart on us before we can get a replacement for it . '' Other aircraft , such as the General Dynamics F - 111 Aardvark , later complemented the B - 52 in roles the aircraft was not as capable in , such as missions involving high - speed , low - level penetration dashes . Vietnam War ( edit ) See also : Vietnam War Soviet specialists inspect the wreckage of the B - 52 Stratofortress shot down near Hanoi on 23 December 1972 With the escalating situation in Southeast Asia , 28 B - 52Fs were fitted with external racks for 24 × 750 lb ( 340 kg ) bombs under project South Bay in June 1964 ; an additional 46 aircraft received similar modifications under project Sun Bath . In March 1965 , the United States commenced Operation Rolling Thunder . The first combat mission , Operation Arc Light , was flown by B - 52Fs on 18 June 1965 , when 30 bombers of the 9th and 441st Bombardment Squadrons struck a communist stronghold near the Bến Cát District in South Vietnam . The first wave of bombers arrived too early at a designated rendezvous point , and while maneuvering to maintain station , two B - 52s collided , which resulted in the loss of both bombers and eight crewmen . The remaining bombers , minus one more that turned back due to mechanical problems , continued toward the target . Twenty - seven Stratofortresses dropped on a one - mile by two - mile target box from between 19,000 and 22,000 feet , a little more than 50 % of the bombs falling within the target zone . The force returned to Andersen AFB except for one bomber with electrical problems that recovered to Clark AFB , the mission having lasted 13 hours . Post-strike assessment by teams of South Vietnamese troops with American advisors found evidence that the Viet Cong had departed the area before the raid , and it was suspected that infiltration of the south 's forces may have tipped off the north because of the South Vietnamese Army troops involved in the post-strike inspection . B - 52F releasing its payload of bombs over Vietnam Beginning in late 1965 , a number of B - 52Ds underwent Big Belly modifications to increase bomb capacity for carpet bombings . While the external payload remained at 24 of 500 lb ( 227 kg ) or 750 lb ( 340 kg ) bombs , the internal capacity increased from 27 to 84 for 500 lb bombs , or from 27 to 42 for 750 lb bombs . The modification created enough capacity for a total of 60,000 lb ( 27,215 kg ) using 108 bombs . Thus modified , B - 52Ds could carry 22,000 lb ( 9,980 kg ) more than B - 52Fs . Designed to replace B - 52Fs , modified B - 52Ds entered combat in April 1966 flying from Andersen Air Force Base , Guam . Each bombing mission lasted 10 to 12 hours and included an aerial refueling by KC - 135 Stratotankers . In spring 1967 , B - 52s began flying from U Tapao Airfield in Thailand so that refueling was not required . The B - 52s were restricted to bombing suspected Communist bases in relatively uninhabited sections , because their potency approached that of a tactical nuclear weapon . A formation of six B - 52s , dropping their bombs from 30,000 feet , could `` take out '' ... almost everything within a `` box '' approximately five - eighths mile wide by two miles long . Whenever Arc Light struck ... in the vicinity of Saigon , the city woke from the tremor ... Neil Sheehan , war correspondent , writing before the mass attacks to heavily populated cities including North Vietnam 's capital . On 22 November 1972 , a B - 52D ( 55 - 0110 ) from U-Tapao was hit by a surface - to - air missile ( SAM ) while on a raid over Vinh . The crew was forced to abandon the damaged aircraft over Thailand . This was the first B - 52 destroyed by hostile fire . The zenith of B - 52 attacks in Vietnam was Operation Linebacker II ( sometimes referred to as the Christmas Bombing ) , conducted from 18 to 29 December 1972 , which consisted of waves of B - 52s ( mostly D models , but some Gs without jamming equipment and with a smaller bomb load ) . Over 12 days , B - 52s flew 729 sorties and dropped 15,237 tons of bombs on Hanoi , Haiphong , and other targets . Originally 42 B - 52s were committed to the war ; however , numbers were frequently twice this figure . During Operation Linebacker II , fifteen B - 52s were shot down , five were heavily damaged ( one crashed in Laos ) , and five suffered medium damage . A total of 25 crew men were killed in these losses . North Vietnam claimed 34 B - 52s were shot down . During the war 31 B - 52s were lost , including 10 shot down over North Vietnam . Of the losses , 17 were shot down in combat operations , one was a write - off because of combat damage , 11 crashed by accidents , 1 decommissioned because of combat damage , and 1 burned at the airport . However , some of the `` crashed in flight accidents '' crashed due to missiles or anti-aircraft guns . When landing at an airfield in Thailand one B - 52 was heavily damaged by SAM , rolled out of the runway and blown up on mines installed around the airfield to protect the guerrillas , only one crewman survived . Subsequently , this B - 52 was counted as `` crashed in flight accidents '' . Air - to - Air combat ( edit ) Tail armament of a B - 52G , Hill Aerospace Museum During the Vietnam War , B - 52D tail gunners were credited with shooting down two MiG - 21 `` Fishbeds '' . On 18 December 1972 tail gunner Staff Sergeant Samuel O. Turner 's B - 52 had just completed a bomb run for Operation Linebacker II and was turning away , when a North Vietnamese Air Force MiG - 21 approached . The MiG and the B - 52 locked onto each other . When the fighter drew within range , Turner fired his quad ( four guns on one mounting ) . 50 caliber machine guns . The MiG exploded aft of the bomber , as confirmed by Master Sergeant Louis E. Le Blanc , the tail gunner in a nearby Stratofortress . Turner received a Silver Star for his actions . His B - 52 , tail number 56 - 0676 , is preserved on display with air - to - air kill markings at Fairchild AFB in Spokane , Washington . On 24 December 1972 , during the same bombing campaign , the B - 52 Diamond Lil was headed to bomb the Thái Nguyên railroad yards when tail gunner Airman First Class Albert E. Moore spotted a fast - approaching MiG - 21 . Moore opened fire with his quad . 50 caliber guns at 4,000 yd ( 3,700 m ) , and kept shooting until the fighter disappeared from his scope . Technical Sergeant Clarence W. Chute , a tail gunner aboard another Stratofortress , watched the MiG catch fire and fall away ; this was not confirmed by the VPAF . Diamond Lil is preserved on display at the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado . Moore was the last bomber gunner believed to have shot down an enemy aircraft with machine guns in aerial combat . However , two B - 52 tail gunner kills were not confirmed by VPAF , and they admitted to the loss of only three MiGs , all by F - 4s . Vietnamese sources have attributed a third air - to - air victory to a B - 52 , a MiG - 21 shot down on 16 April 1972 . These victories make the B - 52 the largest aircraft credited with air - to - air kills . The last Arc Light mission without fighter escort took place on 15 August 1973 , as U.S. military action in Southeast Asia was wound down . Post Vietnam service ( edit ) B - 52Bs reached the end of their structural service life by the mid-1960s and all were retired by June 1966 , followed by the last of the B - 52Cs on 29 September 1971 ; except for NASA 's B - 52B `` 008 '' which was eventually retired in 2004 at Edwards AFB , California . Another of the remaining B Models , `` 005 '' is on display at the Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum in Denver , Colorado . B - 52H modified to carry two Lockheed D - 21 B drones A few time - expired E models were retired in 1967 and 1968 , but the bulk ( 82 ) were retired between May 1969 and March 1970 . Most F models were also retired between 1967 and 1973 , but 23 survived as trainers until late 1978 . The fleet of D models served much longer ; 80 D models were extensively overhauled under the Pacer Plank program during the mid-1970s . Skinning on the lower wing and fuselage was replaced , and various structural components were renewed . The fleet of D models stayed largely intact until late 1978 , when 37 not already upgraded Ds were retired . The remainder were retired between 1982 and 1983 . The remaining G and H models were used for nuclear standby ( `` alert '' ) duty as part of the United States ' nuclear triad , the combination of nuclear - armed land - based missiles , submarine - based missiles and manned bombers . The B - 1 , intended to supplant the B - 52 , replaced only the older models and the supersonic FB - 111 . In 1991 , B - 52s ceased continuous 24 - hour SAC alert duty . After Vietnam the experience of operations in a hostile air defense environment was taken into account . Due to this B - 52s were modernized with new weapons , equipment and both offensive and defensive avionics . This and the use of low - level tactics marked a major shift in the B - 52 's utility . The upgrades were : Supersonic short - range nuclear missiles : G and H models were modified to carry up to 20 SRAM missiles replacing existing gravity bombs . Eight SRAMs were carried internally on a special rotary launcher and 12 SRAMs were mounted on two wing pylons . With SRAM , the B - 52s could strike heavily defended targets without entering the terminal defenses . New countermeasures : Phase VI ECM modification was the sixth major ECM program for the B - 52 . It improved the aircraft 's self - protection capability in the dense Soviet air defense environment . The new equipment expanded signal coverage , improved threat warning , provided new countermeasures techniques and increased the quantity of expendables . The power requirements of Phase VI ECM also consumed most of the excess electrical capacity on the B - 52G . B - 52G and Hs were also modified with electro - optical viewing system ( EVS ) that made low - level operations and terrain avoidance much easier and safer . EVS system contained a low light level television ( LLTV ) camera and a forward looking infrared ( FLIR ) camera to display information needed for penetration at lower altitude . Subsonic - cruise unarmed decoy : SCUD resembled the B - 52 on radar . As an active decoy , it carried ECM and other devices , and it had a range of several hundred miles . Although SCUD was never deployed operationally , the concept was developed , becoming known as the air launched cruise missile ( ALCM - A ) . These modifications increased weight by nearly 24,000 pounds , and decreased operational range by 8 -- 11 % . This was considered acceptable for the increase in capabilities . After the fall of the Soviet Union , all B - 52Gs remaining in service were destroyed in accordance with the terms of the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty ( START ) . The Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Center ( AMRC ) cut the 365 B - 52s into pieces . Completion of the destruction task was verified by Russia via satellite and first - person inspection at the AMARC facility . Gulf War and later ( edit ) See also : Gulf War Retired B - 52s are stored at the 309th AMARG ( formerly AMARC ) , a desert storage facility often called the `` Boneyard '' at Davis - Monthan AFB near Tucson , Arizona . B - 52 strikes were an important part of Operation Desert Storm . Starting on 16 January 1991 , a flight of B - 52Gs flew from Barksdale AFB , Louisiana , refueled in the air en route , struck targets in Iraq , and returned home -- a journey of 35 hours and 14,000 miles ( 23,000 km ) round trip . It set a record for longest - distance combat mission , breaking the record previously held by an RAF Vulcan bomber in 1982 ; however , this was achieved using forward refueling . Those seven B - 52s flew the first combat sorties of Operation Desert Storm , firing 35 AGM - 86C CALCMs standoff missiles and successfully destroying 85 -- 95 percent of their targets . B - 52Gs operating from the King Abdullah Air Base at Jeddah , Saudi Arabia , RAF Fairford in the United Kingdom , Morón Air Base , Spain , and the island of Diego Garcia in the British Indian Ocean Territory flew bombing missions over Iraq , initially at low altitude . After the first three nights , the B - 52s moved to high - altitude missions instead , which reduced their effectiveness and psychological impact compared to the low altitude role initially played . The conventional strikes were carried out by three bombers , which dropped up to 153 750 - pound bombs over an area of 1.5 by 1 mi ( 2.4 by 1.6 km ) . The bombings demoralized the defending Iraqi troops , many of whom surrendered in the wake of the strikes . In 1999 , the science and technology magazine Popular Mechanics described the B - 52 's role in the conflict : `` The Buff 's value was made clear during the Gulf War and Desert Fox . The B - 52 turned out the lights in Baghdad . '' During Operation Desert Storm , B - 52s flew about 1,620 sorties , and delivered 40 % of the weapons dropped by coalition forces . During the conflict , several claims of Iraqi air - to - air successes were made , including an Iraqi pilot , Khudai Hijab , who allegedly fired a Vympel R - 27 R missile from his MIG - 29 and damaged a B - 52G on the opening night of the Gulf War . However , the U.S. Air Force disputes this claim , stating the bomber was actually hit by friendly fire , an AGM - 88 High - speed , Anti-Radiation Missile ( HARM ) that homed on the fire - control radar of the B - 52 's tail gun ; the jet was subsequently renamed In HARM 's Way . Shortly following this incident , General George Lee Butler announced that the gunner position on B - 52 crews would be eliminated , and the gun turrets permanently deactivated , commencing on 1 October 1991 . Since the mid-1990s , the B - 52H has been the only variant remaining in military service ; it is currently stationed at : Minot Air Force Base , ND -- 5th Bomb Wing Barksdale Air Force Base , LA -- 2nd Bomb Wing ( active Air Force ) and 307th Bomb Wing ( Air Force Reserve Command ) One B - 52H is assigned to Edwards Air Force Base and is used by Air Force Material Command at the Air Force Flight Test Center . One additional B - 52H is used by NASA at Dryden Flight Research Center , California as part of the Heavy - lift Airborne Launch program . From 2 to 3 September 1996 , two B - 52H bombers conducted a mission as part of Operation Desert Strike . The B - 52s struck Baghdad power stations and communications facilities with 13 AGM - 86C conventional air - launched cruise missiles ( CALCM ) during a 34 - hour , 16,000 - mile round trip mission from Andersen AFB , Guam -- the longest distance ever flown for a combat mission . A B - 52H Stratofortress of the 2d Bomb Wing takes off from Andersen Air Force Base , Guam On 24 March 1999 , when Operation Allied Force began , B - 52 bombers bombarded Serb targets throughout the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia , including during the Battle of Kosare . The B - 52 contributed to Operation Enduring Freedom in 2001 ( Afghanistan / Southwest Asia ) , providing the ability to loiter high above the battlefield and provide Close Air Support ( CAS ) through the use of precision guided munitions , a mission which previously would have been restricted to fighter and ground attack aircraft . In late 2001 , ten B - 52s dropped a third of the bomb tonnage in Afghanistan . B - 52s also played a role in Operation Iraqi Freedom , which commenced on 20 March 2003 ( Iraq / Southwest Asia ) . On the night of 21 March 2003 , B - 52Hs launched at least one hundred AGM - 86C CALCMs at targets within Iraq . Recent service ( edit ) A B - 52 taking off from Tinker AFB B - 52 in Australian airshow 2011 In August 2007 , a B - 52H ferrying AGM - 129 ACM cruise missiles from Minot Air Force Base to Barksdale Air Force Base for dismantling was mistakenly loaded with six missiles with their nuclear warheads . The weapons did not leave USAF custody and were secured at Barksdale . Four of 18 B - 52Hs from Barksdale AFB were retired and were in the `` boneyard '' of 309th AMARG at Davis - Monthan AFB as of 8 September 2008 . As of January 2013 , 78 of the original 744 B - 52 aircraft were operational in the U.S. Air Force . B - 52s are periodically refurbished at USAF maintenance depots such as Tinker Air Force Base , Oklahoma . Even while the Air Force works on a new bomber , it intends to keep the B - 52H in service until 2045 , nearly 90 years after the B - 52 first entered service , an unprecedented length of service for any aircraft , civilian or military . The USAF continues to rely on the B - 52 because it remains an effective and economical heavy bomber in the absence of sophisticated air defenses , particularly in the type of missions that have been conducted since the end of the Cold War against nations with limited defensive capabilities . The B - 52 has also continued in service because there has been no reliable replacement . The B - 52 has the capacity to `` loiter '' for extended periods , and can deliver precision standoff and direct fire munitions from a distance , in addition to direct bombing . It has been a valuable asset in supporting ground operations during conflicts such as Operation Iraqi Freedom . The B - 52 had the highest mission capable rate of the three types of heavy bombers operated by the USAF in the 2000 -- 2001 period . The B - 1 averaged a 53.7 % ready rate , the Northrop Grumman B - 2 Spirit achieved 30.3 % , while the B - 52 averaged 80.5 % . The B - 52 's $72,000 cost per hour of flight is more than the B - 1B 's $63,000 cost per hour , but less than the B - 2 's $135,000 per hour . The Long Range Strike Bomber program is intended to yield a stealthy successor for the B - 52 and B - 1 that would begin service in the 2020s ; it is intended to produce 80 to 100 aircraft . Two competitors , Northrop Grumman and a joint team of Boeing and Lockheed Martin , submitted proposals in 2014 ; Northrop Grumman was awarded a contract in October 2015 . On 12 November 2015 , the B - 52 began freedom of navigation operations in the South China Sea in response to Chinese man - made islands in the region . Chinese forces , claiming jurisdiction within a 12 - mile exclusion zone of the islands , ordered the bombers to leave the area , but they refused , not recognizing jurisdiction . On 10 January 2016 , a B - 52 overflew parts of South Korea escorted by South Korean F - 15Ks and U.S. F - 16s in response to the supposed test of a hydrogen bomb by North Korea . On 9 April 2016 , an undisclosed number of B - 52s arrived at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar as part of Operation Inherent Resolve , part of the Military intervention against ISIL . The B - 52s took over heavy bombing after B - 1 Lancers that had been conducting airstrikes rotated out of the region in January 2016 . In April 2016 , B - 52s arrived in Afghanistan to take part in the War in Afghanistan ( 2015 -- present ) and began operations in July , proving its flexibility and precision carrying out close - air support missions . According to a statement by the U.S. military , an undisclosed number of B - 52s participated in the U.S. strikes on pro-government forces in eastern Syria on 7 February 2018 . Variants ( edit ) Production numbers Variant Produced Entered Service XB - 52 ( 1 redesignated YB - 52 ) prototypes YB - 52 1 modified XB - 52 prototype B - 52A ( 1 redesignated NB - 52A ) test units NB - 52A 1 modified B - 52A B - 52B 50 29 June 1955 RB - 52B 27 Modified B - 52Bs NB - 52B 1 Modified B - 52B B - 52C 35 June 1956 B - 52D 170 December 1956 B - 52E 100 December 1957 B - 52F 89 June 1958 B - 52G 193 13 February 1959 B - 52H 102 9 May 1961 Grand total 744 production The B - 52 went through several design changes and variants over its 10 years of production . XB - 52 Two prototype aircraft with limited operational equipment , used for aerodynamic and handling tests YB - 52 One XB - 52 modified with some operational equipment and re-designated B - 52A Only three of the first production version , the B - 52A , were built , all loaned to Boeing for flight testing . The first production B - 52A differed from prototypes in having a redesigned forward fuselage . The bubble canopy and tandem seating was replaced by a side - by - side arrangement and a 21 in ( 53 cm ) nose extension accommodated more avionics and a new sixth crew member . In the rear fuselage , a tail turret with four 0.50 inch ( 12.7 mm ) machine guns with a fire - control system , and a water injection system to augment engine power with a 360 US gallon ( 1,363 L ) water tank were added . The aircraft also carried a 1,000 US gallon ( 3,785 L ) external fuel tank under each wing . The tanks damped wing flutter and also kept wingtips close to the ground for ease of maintenance . NB - 52A carrying an X-15 NB - 52A The last B - 52A ( serial 52 - 0003 ) was modified and redesignated NB - 52A in 1959 to carry the North American X-15 . A pylon was fitted under the right wing between the fuselage and the inboard engines with a 6 feet x 8 feet ( 1.8 mx 2.4 m ) section removed from the right wing flap to fit the X-15 tail . Liquid oxygen and hydrogen peroxide tanks were installed in the bomb bays to fuel the X-15 before launch . Its first flight with the X-15 was on 19 March 1959 , with the first launch on 8 June 1959 . The NB - 52A , named `` The High and Mighty One '' carried the X-15 on 93 of the program 's 199 flights . NASA 's NB - 52B Balls 8 ( lower ) and its replacement B - 52H on the flight line at Edwards Air Force Base in 2004 B - 52B / RB - 52B The B - 52B was the first version to enter service with the USAF on 29 June 1955 with the 93rd Bombardment Wing at Castle AFB , California . This version included minor changes to engines and avionics , enabling an extra 12,000 pounds of thrust using water injection . Temporary grounding of the aircraft after a crash in February 1956 and again the following July caused training delays , and at mid-year there were still no combat - ready B - 52 crews . Of the 50 B - 52Bs built , 27 were capable of carrying a reconnaissance pod as RB - 52Bs ( the crew was increased to eight in these aircraft ) . The 300 pound ( 136 kg ) pod contained radio receivers , a combination of K - 36 , K - 38 , and T - 11 cameras , and two operators on downward - firing ejection seats . The pod required only four hours to install . Seven B - 52Bs were brought to B - 52C standard under Project Sunflower . NB - 52B The NB - 52B was B - 52B number 52 - 0008 converted to an X-15 launch platform . It subsequently flew as `` Balls 8 '' in support of NASA research until 17 December 2004 , making it the oldest flying B - 52B . It was replaced by a modified B - 52H . B - 52C The B - 52C 's fuel capacity ( and range ) was increased to 41,700 US gallons by adding larger 3000 US gallon underwing fuel tanks . The gross weight was increased by 30,000 pounds ( 13,605 kg ) to 450,000 pounds . A new fire control system , the MD - 9 , was introduced on this model . The belly of the aircraft was painted with antiflash white paint , which was intended to reflect the thermal radiation of a nuclear detonation . RB - 52C The RB - 52C was the designation initially given to B - 52Cs fitted for reconnaissance duties in a similar manner to RB - 52Bs . As all 35 B - 52Cs could be fitted with the reconnaissance pod , the RB - 52C designation was little used and was quickly abandoned . B - 52D dropping 500 - lb bombs B - 52D The B - 52D was a dedicated long - range bomber without a reconnaissance option . The Big Belly modifications allowed the B - 52D to carry heavy loads of conventional bombs for carpet bombing over Vietnam , while the Rivet Rambler modification added the Phase V ECM systems , which was better than the systems used on most later B - 52s . Because of these upgrades and its long range capabilities , the D model was used more extensively in Vietnam than any other model . Aircraft assigned to Vietnam were painted in a camouflage colour scheme with black bellies to defeat searchlights . B - 52E The B - 52E received an updated avionics and bombing navigational system , which was eventually debugged and included on following models . One E aircraft ( AF Serial No. 56 - 0632 ) was modified as a testbed for various B - 52 systems . Redesignated NB - 52E , the aircraft was fitted with canards and a Load Alleviation and Mode Stabilization system ( LAMS ) which reduced airframe fatigue from wind gusts during low level flight . In one test , the aircraft flew 10 knots ( 11.5 mph , 18.5 km / h ) faster than the never exceed speed without damage because the canards eliminated 30 % of vertical and 50 % of horizontal vibrations caused by wind gusts . B - 52F This aircraft was given J57 - P - 43W engines with a larger capacity water injection system to provide greater thrust than previous models . This model had problems with fuel leaks which were eventually solved by several service modifications : Blue Band , Hard Shell , and QuickClip . B - 52G on static display at Langley Air Force Base in Hampton , Virginia B - 52G The B - 52G was proposed to extend the B - 52 's service life during delays in the B - 58 Hustler program . At first , a radical redesign was envisioned with a completely new wing and Pratt & Whitney J75 engines . This was rejected to avoid slowdowns in production , although a large number of changes were implemented . The most significant of these was a new `` wet '' wing with integral fuel tanks , increasing gross aircraft weight by 38,000 pounds ( 17,235 kg ) . In addition , a pair of 700 US gallon ( 2,650 L ) external fuel tanks were fitted under the wings on wet hardpoints . The traditional ailerons were also eliminated , and instead , spoilers provided roll control . The tail fin was shortened by 8 feet ( 2.4 m ) , water injection system capacity was increased to 1,200 US gallons ( 4,540 L ) , and the nose radome was enlarged . The tail gunner was relocated to the main cockpit and was provided with an ejection seat . Dubbed the `` Battle Station '' concept , the offensive crew ( pilot and copilot on the upper deck and the two bombing navigation system operators on the lower deck ) faced forward , while the defensive crew ( tail gunner and ECM operator ) on the upper deck faced aft . The B - 52G entered service on 13 February 1959 ( a day earlier , the last B - 36 was retired , making SAC an all - jet bomber force ) . 193 B - 52Gs were produced , making this the most produced B - 52 variant . Most B - 52Gs were destroyed in compliance with the 1992 Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty ; the last B - 52G , number 58 - 0224 , was dismantled under New START treaty requirements in December 2013 . A few examples remain on display for museums . B - 52H The B - 52H had the same crew and structural changes as the B - 52G . The most significant upgrade was the switch to TF33 - P - 3 turbofan engines which , despite the initial reliability problems ( corrected by 1964 under the Hot Fan program ) , offered considerably better performance and fuel economy than the J57 turbojets . The ECM and avionics were updated , a new fire control system was fitted , and the rear defensive armament was changed from machine guns to a 20 mm M61 Vulcan cannon ( later removed in 1991 -- 94 ) . The final 18 aircraft were manufactured with provision for the ADR - 8 countermeasures rocket , which was later retrofitted to the remainder of the B - 52G and B - 52H fleet . A provision was made for four GAM - 87 Skybolt ballistic missiles . The aircraft 's first flight occurred on 10 July 1960 , and it entered service on 9 May 1961 . This is the only variant still in use by the USAF . A total of 102 B - 52Hs were built . The last production aircraft , B - 52H AF Serial No. 61 - 0040 , left the factory on 26 October 1962 . XR - 16A Allocated to the reconnaissance variant of the B - 52B but not used . The aircraft were designated RB - 52B instead .

The weapon was recovered intact after three of the four stages of arming sequence were completed . On 10 January 1957 , a B - 52 returning to Loring Air Force Base from a routine instrument training mission broke apart in midair and crashed near Morrell , New Brunswick , Canada , killing eight of the nine crew on board . Co-pilot Captain Joseph L. Church parachuted to safety . The crash was believed to have been caused by overstressing the wings and / or airframe during an exercise designed to test the pilot 's reflexes . This was the fourth crash involving a B - 52 in 11 months . On 11 February 1958 , a B - 52D crashed in South Dakota because of ice blocking the fuel system , leading to an uncommanded reduction in power to all eight engines . Three crew members were killed . On 8 September 1958 , two B - 52s collided in midair near Fairchild Air Force Base , Washington ; all 13 crew members on the two aircraft were killed On 15 October 1959 , a B - 52 from the 492d Bomb Squadron at Columbus AFB , Mississippi carrying 2 nuclear weapons collided in midair with a KC - 135 tanker near Hardinsburg , Kentucky ; 4 of the 8 crew members on the bomber and all 4 crew on the tanker were killed . One of the nuclear bombs was damaged by fire but both weapons were recovered . On 10 August 1959 , a B - 52 crashed in the Spruce Swamp at Fremont , New Hampshire . The bomber was on a routine training mission from Chicopee , Massachusetts , when its air speed indicator and altimeter failed , which led to more serious malfunctions . The B - 52 was attempting to make an emergency landing at Goose Bay , Labrador , Canada , the only landing option not affected by foggy weather conditions . However , it crashed before making the landing . The U.S. Air Force reported that it was the first B - 52 crash where the entire crew survived ; the crew parachuted to safety . Debris from the crash covered a quarter - mile of densely wooded swampland . On 24 January 1961 , a B - 52G broke up in midair and crashed after suffering a severe fuel loss , near Goldsboro , North Carolina , dropping two nuclear bombs in the process without detonation . Three of the eight crew members were killed . On 14 March 1961 , a B - 52F from Mather AFB , California carrying two nuclear weapons experienced an uncontrolled decompression , necessitating a descent to 10,000 feet to lower the cabin altitude . Due to increased fuel consumption at the lower altitude and unable to rendezvous with a tanker in time , the aircraft ran out of fuel . The crew ejected safely , while the unmanned bomber crashed 15 miles ( 24 km ) west of Yuba City , California . On 7 April 1961 , B - 52B AF Serial No. 53 - 0380 was accidentally shot down by a New Mexico Air National Guard F - 100 on an intercept training mission . The F - 100 was carrying live missiles whose launch capability was supposed to be disabled , but a wiring fault caused one of them to fire and strike the bomber 's left wing . The aircraft crashed near Mount Taylor , killing three of the eight crew members on board . On 24 January 1963 , a B - 52C on a training mission out of Westover Air Force Base , Massachusetts , lost its vertical stabilizer due to buffeting during low - level flight , and crashed on the west side of Elephant Mountain near Greenville , Maine . Of the nine crewmen aboard , two survived the crash . On 30 January 1963 , a B - 52E of the 6th Bomb Wing from Walker Air Force Base , New Mexico , crashed in snow - covered mountains in northern New Mexico after turbulence tore off the vertical fin . The ECM operator and tail gunner were killed but at least three crew ( pilot , radio operator and one other crew member ) survived . Three Lockheed T - 33 Shooting Stars and , later , three Douglas C - 54 Skymaster transports , circled the area trying to locate survivors ; the pilots reported that they saw two other survivors after the first man walked to safety . On 10 January 1964 , a B - 52H flown by Boeing test pilots lost its vertical stabilizer to turbulence near East Spanish Peak . It was able to land at Blytheville Air Force Base , Arkansas . In 1968 , blackened sea ice after a B - 52 bomber crashed near Thule Air Base . On 13 January 1964 , a B - 52D carrying two nuclear bombs suffered a structural failure in flight that caused the tail section to shear off . Four crewmen ejected successfully before the aircraft crashed near Cumberland , Maryland . Two crewmen subsequently perished on the ground because of hypothermia , while another , who was unable to eject , died in the aircraft ; both weapons were recovered . This was one of several incidents caused by failure of the vertical stabilizer . On 17 January 1966 , a fatal collision occurred between a B - 52G and a KC - 135 Stratotanker over Palomares , Spain , killing all 4 on the tanker and 3 of the 7 on the B - 52G . The two unexploded B - 28 FI 1.45 - megaton - range nuclear bombs on the B - 52 were eventually recovered ; the conventional explosives of two more bombs detonated on impact , with serious dispersion of both plutonium and uranium , but without triggering a nuclear explosion . After the crash , 1,400 metric tons ( 3,100,000 lb ) of contaminated soil was sent to the United States . In 2006 , an agreement was made between the U.S. and Spain to investigate and clean the pollution still remaining as a result of the accident . On 18 November 1966 , a B - 52G AF Ser . No. 58 - 0228 deployed from Barksdale Air Force Base crashed and was destroyed when it flew into the ground in swampland south of Stone Lake , Sawyer County , Wisconsin . The crew was on a low level terrain avoidance night mission , before SAC stopped such flights , and had just entered low altitude and were calibrating their terrain avoidance radar , when they flew too low , clipped the tops of the forest and crashed . On 8 July 1967 , B - 52D AF Ser . No. 56 - 0601 , overran the runway due to loss of brakes during an emergency landing at Da Nang Air Base , Vietnam with the loss of five of her six crew . The aircraft had suffered an electrical malfunction that led to the flameout of two engines . On 21 January 1968 , a B - 52G , with four nuclear bombs aboard as part of Operation Chrome Dome , crashed on the ice of the North Star Bay while attempting an emergency landing at Thule Air Base , Greenland . The resulting fire caused extensive radioactive contamination , the cleanup ( Project Crested Ice ) lasting until September of that year . Following closely on the Palomares incident , the cleanup costs and political consequences proved too high to risk again , so SAC ended the airborne alert program the following day . On 3 April 1970 , a B - 52D assigned to the 28th Bomb Wing caught fire and crashed while landing at Ellsworth Air Force Base , South Dakota ; sliding to a halt and burning atop a 25,000 gallon fuel storage tank . Efforts by fire department personnel saved the 9 man crew and prevented a catastrophic explosion of the fuel tank . On 31 March 1972 , B - 52D AF Ser . No. 56 - 0625 , departed McCoy Air Force Base , Florida on a routine training mission . Assigned to the 306th Bombardment Wing , the unarmed aircraft sustained multiple engine failures and engine fires on engines No. 7 and No. 8 shortly after takeoff . The aircraft immediately attempted to return to the base , but crashed just short of Runway 18R in a residential area of Orlando , Florida , approximately 1 mile north of McCoy AFB , destroying or damaging eight homes . The flight crew of 7 airmen and 1 civilian on the ground were killed . On 30 July 1972 , B - 52D 56 - 0677 , assigned to the 307th Strategic Bomb Wing , operating out of U-Tapao Royal Thai Navy Airfield on a combat mission as part of Operation Linebacker was hit by lightning . The strike knocked out the plane 's instruments and started a fire on the port wing . Five of the six crewmen were killed in the crash On 8 February 1974 , B - 52G s / n 58 ‐ 0174 of 744th BS , 456 BW at Beale AFB , CA crashed on take - off . Seven of the eight crewmen aboard were killed . B - 52H Czar 52 moments before crashing while practicing for an airshow in 1994 . The copilot 's escape hatch , jettisoned during his attempt to eject , can be seen near the tip of the vertical stabilizer . On 30 October 1981 , B - 52D , AF Serial No. 55 - 078 , assigned to the 22d Bomb Wing , March Air Force Base , California , impacted the ground nine miles east of La Junta , CO during a night low - level training mission . All eight crew members on board were killed ( six crew and two maintainers ) . Sortie departed March AFB with a planned recovering at Carswell Air Force Base , Texas . On 16 December 1982 , B - 52G 57 - 6482 , assigned to 328th BS , 93rd BW , Castle AFB , California , was participating in a Minimum Interval Take - Off ( MITO ; 12 seconds between each aircraft on takeoff ) from Mather AFB , CA . The incident aircraft was in the number two position of a three - ship group . The B - 52G was equipped with water injection to give additional thrust for take - off , but the lead aircraft was not equipped with this system . After takeoff the aircraft began to rapidly overtake the lead , so the pilot retarded the throttles rapidly , causing flameout of four engines . The aircraft then stalled and crashed . Nine crew members were killed . On 16 October 1984 , B - 52G 57 - 6479 , assigned to the 92d Bomb Wing , Fairchild AFB , Washington , clipped its wing on Hunts Mesa , an outcropping in Monument Valley , Arizona , and crashed , sending a fireball high into the air . Two of the seven crew perished in the crash , including Col. William Ivy , the wing 's deputy commander for operations . On 2 February 1991 , B - 52G Hulk 46 , assigned to the 4300th Bomb Wing ( Provisional ) , Diego Garcia , British Indian Ocean Territory ( BIOT ) crashed while returning from a bombing mission in Iraq during the Persian Gulf War . The crash was eventually blamed on a catastrophic failure of the aircraft 's electrical system . Three of the six crew members on board were killed . On 24 June 1994 , B - 52H Czar 52 , 61 - 0026 crashed at Fairchild AFB , Washington , during practice for an airshow . All four crew members died in the accident . On 21 July 2008 , a B - 52H , Raidr 21 , 60 - 0053 , deployed from Barksdale Air Force Base , Louisiana to Andersen Air Force Base , Guam crashed approximately 25 miles ( 40 km ) off the coast of Guam . All six crew members were killed ( five standard crew members and a flight surgeon ) .

7960080759276369989	Jute	Jute - wikipedia Jute This article is about the vegetable fiber . For other uses , see Jute ( disambiguation ) . Jute fiber being dried alongside a road after retting Jute rope Jute is a long , soft , shiny vegetable fiber that can be spun into coarse , strong threads . It is produced primarily from plants in the genus Corchorus , which was once classified with the family Tiliaceae , and more recently with Malvaceae . The Corchorus capsularis . `` Jute '' is the name of the plant or fiber that is used to make burlap , hessian or gunny cloth . Jute is one of the most affordable natural fibers and it is second only to cotton in amount produced and variety of uses of vegetable fibers . Jute fibers are composed primarily of the plant materials cellulose and lignin . It falls into the bast fiber category ( fiber collected from bast , the phloem of the plant , sometimes called the `` skin '' ) along with kenaf , industrial hemp , flax ( linen ) , ramie , etc . The industrial term for jute fiber is raw jute . The fibers are off - white to brown , and 1 -- 4 metres ( 3 -- 13 feet ) long . Jute is also called the golden fiber for its color and high cash value .

The suitable climate for growing jute ( warm and wet ) is offered by the monsoon climate , during the monsoon season . Temperatures from 20 _̊ C to 40 _̊ C and relative humidity of 70 % -- 80 % are favourable for successful cultivation . Jute requires 5 -- 8 cm of rainfall weekly , and more during the sowing time . Soft water is necessary for the jute production . White jute ( Corchorus capsularis ) ( edit ) Historical documents ( including Ain - e-Akbari by Abul Fazal in 1590 ) state that the poor villagers of India used to wear clothes made of jute . Simple handlooms and hand spinning wheels were used by the weavers , who used to spin cotton yarns as well . History also suggests that Indians , especially Bengalis , used ropes and twines made of white jute from ancient times for household and other uses . It is highly functional in carrying grains or other agricultural products . Tossa jute ( Corchorus olitorius ) ( edit ) Tossa jute ( Corchorus olitorius ) is a variety thought to be native to India , which is also the world 's top producer . It is grown for both fiber and culinary purposes . The leaves are used as an ingredient in a mucilaginous potherb called `` molokhiya '' ( ملوخية , of uncertain etymology ) . It is very popular in some Arabian countries such as Egypt , Jordan , and Syria as a soup - based dish , sometimes with meat over rice or lentils . The Book of Job ( chapter 30 , verse 4 ) , in the King James translation of the Hebrew Bible מלוח MaLOo - aĤ `` salty '' , mentions this vegetable potherb as `` mallow '' . Giving rise to the term Jew 's Mallow It is high in protein , vitamin C , beta - carotene , calcium , and iron . On the other hand , it is used mainly for its fiber in Bangladesh , in other countries in Southeast Asia , and the South Pacific . Tossa jute fiber is softer , silkier , and stronger than white jute . This variety astonishingly shows good sustainability in the climate of the Ganges Delta . Along with white jute , tossa jute has also been cultivated in the soil of Bengal where it is known as paat from the start of the 19th century . Coremantel , Bangladesh is the largest global producer of the tossa jute variety . History ( edit ) For centuries , jute has been an integral part of the culture of East Bengal and some parts of West Bengal , precisely in the southwest of Bangladesh . Since the seventeenth century the British started trading in jute . During the reign of the British Empire jute was also used in the military . British jute barons grew rich processing jute and selling manufactured products made from jute . Dundee Jute Barons and the British East India Company set up many jute mills in Bengal and by 1895 jute industries in Bengal overtook the Scottish jute trade . Many Scots emigrated to Bengal to set up jute factories . More than a billion jute sandbags were exported from Bengal to the trenches during World War I and also exported to the United States southern region to bag cotton . It was used in the fishing , construction , art and the arms industry . Initially , due to its texture , it could only be processed by hand until it was discovered in Dundee that by treating it with whale oil , it could be treated by machine . The industry boomed throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries ( `` jute weaver '' was a recognised trade occupation in the 1900 UK census ) , but this trade had largely ceased by about 1970 due to the emergence of synthetic fibers . In the 21st century , jute again rose to be an important crop for export around the world in contrast to synthetic fiber , mainly from Bangladesh Production ( edit ) Main article : Jute trade Jute stems being retted in water to separate the fibers The jute fiber comes from the stem and ribbon ( outer skin ) of the jute plant . The fibers are first extracted by retting . The retting process consists of bundling jute stems together and immersing them in slow running water . There are two types of retting : stem and ribbon . After the retting process , stripping begins ; women and children usually do this job . In the stripping process , non-fibrous matter is scraped off , then the workers dig in and grab the fibers from within the jute stem . Jute is a rain - fed crop with little need for fertilizer or pesticides , in contrast to cotton 's heavy requirements . Production is concentrated mostly in Bangladesh , as well as India 's states of Assam , Bihar , and West Bengal . India is the world 's largest producer of jute , but imported approximately 162,000 tonnes of raw fiber and 175,000 tonnes of jute products in 2011 . India , Pakistan , and China import significant quantities of jute fiber and products from Bangladesh , as do the United Kingdom , Japan , United States , France , Spain , Ivory Coast , Germany and Brazil . Top ten jute producers , by metric ton , as of 2014 Country Production ( Tonnes ) India 1,968,000 Bangladesh 1,349,000 People 's Republic of China 29,628 Uzbekistan 20,000 Nepal 14,890 South Sudan 3,300 Zimbabwe 2,519 Egypt 2,508 Brazil 1,172 Vietnam 970 World 3,393,248 Genome ( edit ) Main article : Jute genome At the beginning of the 21st century , in 2002 Bangladesh commissioned a consortium of researchers from University of Dhaka , Bangladesh Jute Research Institute ( BJRI ) and private software firm DataSoft Systems Bangladesh Ltd. , in collaboration with Centre for Chemical Biology , University of Science Malaysia and University of Hawaii , to research different fibers and hybrid fibers of jute . The draft genome of jute ( Corchorus olitorius ) was completed . Uses ( edit ) Making twine , rope , and matting are among its uses . In combination with sugar , the possibility of using jute to build aeroplane panels has been considered . Jute is in great demand due to its cheapness , softness , length , lustre and uniformity of its fiber . It is called the ' brown paper bag ' as it is also used to store rice , wheat , grains , etc . It is also called the ' golden fiber ' due to its versatile nature . Fibers ( edit ) Jute fabric Coffee sacks made of jute . Jute fiber is extracted from retted stem of jute plants Jute matting is used to prevent flood erosion while natural vegetation becomes established . For this purpose , a natural and biodegradable fiber is essential . Jute is the second most important vegetable fiber after cotton due to its versatility . Jute is used chiefly to make cloth for wrapping bales of raw cotton , and to make sacks and coarse cloth . The fibers are also woven into curtains , chair coverings , carpets , area rugs , hessian cloth , and backing for linoleum . While jute is being replaced by synthetic materials in many of these uses , some uses take advantage of jute 's biodegradable nature , where synthetics would be unsuitable . Examples of such uses include containers for planting young trees , which can be planted directly with the container without disturbing the roots , and land restoration where jute cloth prevents erosion occurring while natural vegetation becomes established . The fibers are used alone or blended with other types of fiber to make twine and rope . Jute butts , the coarse ends of the plants , are used to make inexpensive cloth . Conversely , very fine threads of jute can be separated out and made into imitation silk . As jute fibers are also being used to make pulp and paper , and with increasing concern over forest destruction for the wood pulp used to make most paper , the importance of jute for this purpose may increase . Jute has a long history of use in the sackings , carpets , wrapping fabrics ( cotton bale ) , and construction fabric manufacturing industry . Jute was used in traditional textile machinery as fibers having cellulose ( vegetable fiber content ) and lignin ( wood fiber content ) . But , the major breakthrough came when the automobile , pulp and paper , and the furniture and bedding industries started to use jute and its allied fibers with their non-woven and composite technology to manufacture nonwovens , technical textiles , and composites . Therefore , jute has changed its textile fiber outlook and steadily heading towards its newer identity , i.e. , wood fiber . As a textile fiber , jute has reached its peak from where there is no hope of progress , but as a wood fiber jute has many promising features . Jute is used in the manufacture of a number of fabrics such as Hessian cloth , sacking , scrim , carpet backing cloth ( CBC ) , and canvas . Hessian , lighter than sacking , is used for bags , wrappers , wall - coverings , upholstery , and home furnishings . Sacking , a fabric made of heavy jute fibers , has its use in the name . CBC made of jute comes in two types . Primary CBC provides a tufting surface , while secondary CBC is bonded onto the primary backing for an overlay . Jute packaging is used as an eco-friendly substitute . Diversified jute products are becoming more and more valuable to the consumer today . Among these are espadrilles , soft sweaters and cardigans , floor coverings , home textiles , high performance technical textiles , Geotextiles , composites , and more . Jute floor coverings consist of woven and tufted and piled carpets . Jute Mats and mattings with 5 / 6 mts width and of continuous length are easily being woven in Southern parts of India , in solid and fancy shades , and in different weaves like , Boucle , Panama , Herringbone , etc . Jute Mats & Rugs are made both through Powerloom & Handloom , in large volume from Kerala , India . The traditional Satranji mat is becoming very popular in home décor . Jute non-wovens and composites can be used for underlay , linoleum substrate , and more . Jute has many advantages as a home textile , either replacing cotton or blending with it . It is a strong , durable , color and light - fast fiber . Its UV protection , sound and heat insulation , low thermal conduction and anti-static properties make it a wise choice in home décor . Also , fabrics made of jute fibers are carbon - dioxide neutral and naturally decomposable . These properties are also why jute can be used in high performance technical textiles . Moreover , jute can be grown in 4 -- 6 months with a huge amount of cellulose being produced from the jute hurd ( inner woody core or parenchyma of the jute stem ) that can meet most of the wood needs of the world . Jute is the major crop among others that is able to protect deforestation by industrialisation . Thus , jute is the most environment - friendly fiber starting from the seed to expired fiber , as the expired fibers can be recycled more than once . Jute is also used to make ghillie suits , which are used as camouflage and resemble grasses or brush . Another diversified jute product is Geotextiles , which made this agricultural commodity more popular in the agricultural sector . It is a lightly woven fabric made from natural fibers that is used for soil erosion control , seed protection , weed control , and many other agricultural and landscaping uses . The Geotextiles can be used more than a year and the bio-degradable jute Geotextile left to rot on the ground keeps the ground cool and is able to make the land more fertile . Culinary uses ( edit ) In Nigeria , leaves of Corchorus olitorius are prepared in sticky soup called ewedu together with ingredients such as sweet potato , dried small fish or shrimp . The leaves are rubbed until foamy or sticky before adding to the soup . Amongst the Yoruba of Nigeria , the leaves are called Ewedu , and in the Hausa - speaking northern Nigeria , the leaves are called turgunuwa or lallo . The jute leaves are cut into shreds and added to the soup which would normally contain other ingredients such as meat and / or fish , pepper , onions , and other spices . Likewise , the Lugbara of Northwestern Uganda eat the leaves as soup , locally called pala bi . Jute is also a totem for Ayivu , one of the Lugbara clans . In the Philippines , especially in Ilocano - dominated areas , this vegetable , locally known as saluyot , can be mixed with either bitter gourd , bamboo shoots , loofah , or sometimes all of them . These have a slimy and slippery texture . Similarly , the leaves are used in Cypriot cuisine as an ingredient for stews . It is known locally as molohiya . It is typically cooked with lamb or chicken . Sonali bag ( edit ) Sonali Bag is biodegradable and eco-friendly poly bag that made by Jute and invented by Bangladeshi scientist Dr. Mubarak Ahmad Khan . The bag named Sonali bag ( English : Golden Bag ) . It is producing experimantaly on Latif Bawani Jute Mill Bangladesh . After a research of 20 years Dr. Mubarak Ahmad Khan invented it . It is recyclable , biodegradable and eco friendly than regular polythene . Other ( edit ) Jute stalks are being dehydrated under the sun , later they will be used as fuel . Diversified byproducts from jute can be used in cosmetics , medicine , paints , and other products . Features ( edit ) This section needs additional citations for verification .

( January 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Picture of cutting lower part of the long jute fiber . The lower part is hard fiber , which is called jute cuttings in Bangladesh and India ( commonly called jute butts or jute tops elsewhere ) . Jute cuttings are lower in quality , but have commercial value for the paper , carded yarn , and other fiber processing industries . Jute fibers are kept in bundles in the background in a warehouse in Bangladesh . Jute fiber is 100 % bio-degradable and recyclable and thus environmentally friendly . Jute has low pesticide and fertilizer needs . It is a natural fiber with golden and silky shine and hence called The Golden Fiber . It is the cheapest vegetable fiber procured from the bast or skin of the plant 's stem . It is the second most important vegetable fiber after cotton , in terms of usage , global consumption , production , and availability . It has high tensile strength , low extensibility , and ensures better breathability of fabrics . Therefore , jute is very suitable in agricultural commodity bulk packaging . It helps to make top quality industrial yarn , fabric , net , and sacks . It is one of the most versatile natural fibers that has been used in raw materials for packaging , textiles , non-textile , construction , and agricultural sectors . Bulking of yarn results in a reduced breaking tenacity and an increased breaking extensibility when blended as a ternary blend . The best source of jute in the world is the Bengal Delta Plain in the Ganges Delta , most of which is occupied by Bangladesh . Advantages of jute include good insulating and antistatic properties , as well as having low thermal conductivity and a moderate moisture regain . Other advantages of jute include acoustic insulating properties and manufacture with no skin irritations . Jute has the ability to be blended with other fibers , both synthetic and natural , and accepts cellulosic dye classes such as natural , basic , vat , sulfur , reactive , and pigment dyes . As the demand for natural comfort fibers increases , the demand for jute and other natural fibers that can be blended with cotton will increase . To meet this demand , some manufactures in the natural fiber industry plan to modernize processing with the Rieter 's Elitex system . The resulting jute / cotton yarns will produce fabrics with a reduced cost of wet processing treatments . Jute can also be blended with wool . By treating jute with caustic soda , crimp , softness , pliability , and appearance is improved , aiding in its ability to be spun with wool . Liquid ammonia has a similar effect on jute , as well as the added characteristic of improving flame resistance when treated with flameproofing agents . Some noted disadvantages include poor drapability and crease resistance , brittleness , fiber shedding , and yellowing in sunlight . However , preparation of fabrics with castor oil lubricants result in less yellowing and less fabric weight loss , as well as increased dyeing brilliance . Jute has a decreased strength when wet , and also becomes subject to microbial attack in humid climates . Jute can be processed with an enzyme in order to reduce some of its brittleness and stiffness . Once treated with an enzyme , jute shows an affinity to readily accept natural dyes , which can be made from marigold flower extract . In one attempt to dye jute fabric with this extract , bleached fabric was mordanted with ferrous sulphate , increasing the fabric 's dye uptake value . Jute also responds well to reactive dyeing . This process is used for bright and fast coloured value - added diversified products made from jute . Cultural significance ( edit ) National symbols ( edit ) National Emblem of Bangladesh . Above the water lilly are four stars and three connected jute leaves . State emblem of Pakistan , Jute depicted in the fourth quarter Bangladesh Bank monogram , with three connected jute leaves at the base .

966367845848604039	Stranger anxiety	Stranger anxiety - wikipedia Stranger anxiety Crying is a common sign of anxiety in children Stranger anxiety is a form of distress that children experience when exposed to strangers . Stranger anxiety and stranger fear are two interchangeable terms . Stranger anxiety is a typical part of the developmental sequence that most children experience . It can occur even if the child is with a caregiver or another person they trust . It peaks from 6 to 12 months but may recur afterwards until the age of 24 months . As a child gets older , stranger anxiety can be a problem as they begin to socialize . Children may become hesitant to play with unfamiliar children . Foster children are especially at risk , particularly if they experienced neglect early in their life . The anxiety children experience when meeting a stranger is based on the sensation of fear they develop when introduced to an unfamiliar factor in their life that elicits the feeling of fear . They are not born with the awareness that meeting a stranger for the first time will cause them to be fearful . The child discovers this feeling when facing the stimulus , in this case a stranger , for the first time . Experiencing fear causes toddlers to sense they are in a potentially threatened position and therefore , they go towards their caregiver in order to seek protection from the stranger . This reaction enables children to develop instincts to guide them when they feel endangered and seek the protection of a familiar and trusted individual to ensure their safety and survival . The stimuli which provoke a child 's anxiety in the presence of a stranger are influenced by the individual 's age , gender and his or her distance from the toddler . When a child is in the company of an unknown child , he / she is less frightened than if he / she were with an unknown adult . This is due to the height of the individual . The taller the person , the more frightening he / she seems . In addition , children are more fearful of a stranger when they are standing in close proximity to them , while their caregiver is farther away or completely out of their sight . The gender of the stranger contributes to the level of anxiety a child experiences . When in the presence of a male , the child feels more anxious than in front of a female . The anxiety a child feels when facing a stranger is based on various fears that arise in them . A few of these are based on the actions the stranger could unexpectedly take . For example , the child worries he / she can be taken away from his / her caregiver or harmed . The fear of the unknown elicits the anxiety . Although anxiety can go away in few minutes , it could also last a long time . As children reach the age of 2 , their feelings of anxiety in the presence of strangers are nearly gone . However , some children can still experience apprehension up until the age of 4 . It is less probable for toddlers to experience anxiety in the presence of a stranger if a figure they trust , such as their caregivers , perform positive interactions with this person . For example , they employ a calm tone of voice , they smile and hug the stranger . This enables the child to feel a certain reassurance seeing that their caregiver does not show any sign of fear in the presence of this individual .

It typically first starts to appear around 4 months of age with infants behaving differently with caregivers than with strangers . In fact , there is a difference between their interactions with their caregiver and the stranger . They become cautious when strangers are around ; therefore , preferring to be with their caregiver instead of the stranger . Around 7 -- 8 months , stranger anxiety becomes more present ; therefore , it occurs more frequently at this point . Infants start to be aware of their environment and they are aware of their relationships with people ; so , stranger anxiety is clearly displayed . Around this time , children choose and prefer to be with their primary caregiver . As a child 's cognitive skills develop and improve , typically around 12 months , their stranger anxiety can become more intense . They display behaviors like running to their caregiver , grabbing at the caregiver 's legs , or demanding to be picked up . Children seem also to respond more positively to a person who gives positive reinforcements and more negatively to a person who gives negative reinforcements . Fearfulness within the sight of outsiders is thought to be developed around 6 months of age . In fact , that fear of strangers increases throughout their first year of life . The beginning of stranger fear is accepted to be adaptive , offering balance to infants ' tendencies toward approach and exploration and adding to the developing attachment system . However , in extreme cases of stranger fear , this can be a warning sign to the emergence of social anxiety . According to the University of Pittsburgh , stranger anxiety tends to be seen before separation anxiety . Play media Infants may be afraid of strangers Signs of stranger anxiety ( edit ) According to the University of Pittsburgh based on the child , signs of stranger anxiety can differ from one to child the other . For example ; In the presence of a stranger , some infants can abruptly go quiet and look at the stranger with fear . Certain emotions will increase in other children while in the presence of a stranger such as loud crying and fussiness . And others will have the tendency to bury themselves in their caregiver 's arms or even place themselves away from the stranger by placing the caregiver between themselves and the stranger . Modeling and stranger anxiety ( edit ) Infancy ( edit ) Parental attitudes also have an effect on a child 's fear acquisition . In their early months and years , infants acquire most of their behavioral information for their direct family and often , their primary caregivers . Young infants are more selective and preferentially learn about new threats for their mother 's responses . High risk mothers can easily influence their child 's responses since are more likely to mimic their actions . For example , a child who sees their mother demonstrating negative reactions towards a specific person , then the child is more likely to have a negative response towards that same person . While most studies have researched the effect of mothers ' behaviors on their children , it is important to note that the effect of parental modeling is not unique to mothers , but the phenomenon occurs for both mothers and fathers . Implications ( edit ) Fear beliefs that occur vicariously can be reversed using the same form of acquisition through a vicarious counter-conditioning procedure . For example , a parent can show a stranger 's angry face with happy face or a scared - paired animal with happy faces as well and vice versa . Also , feared responses seem to decrease with time if infants are provided with opportunities to have physical contact with the stimuli which helps alleviate the stimuli 's fearful properties . Childhood ( edit ) Stranger fear is less likely in older children ( i.e. at least six years old ) since there is a greater readiness for them to accept behavioral information from outside the family . However , studies show that older children do exhibit increased anxiety to new threats and avoidant responses following discussion with parents . The effect of parental modeling of anxiety on children may go beyond influencing anxious behaviors in children , but also affect their subjective feelings and cognition during middle childhood . Implications ( edit ) This has important implications for parents and those working with school - age children because it suggests that they can potentially prevent or reverse fear developing if they recognize a child is involved in a fear - related vicarious learning event . In cases where infants become fearful of strangers or unknown entities ( such as foreign objects ) , parents should respond positively towards the stranger , only after the child has a phobic response to it . Dealing with stranger anxiety ( edit ) Since stranger anxiety can manifest itself suddenly or happen gradually throughout the development of the toddler , dealing with it can be hard sometimes because people are often not prepared to react to it or they do n't even know what stranger anxiety is . Stranger anxiety should be viewed as a normal , common part of a child 's development . Since it is often characterized by negative emotions and fear , multiple steps were created to induct a feeling of trust and safety between the child and the strangers . The child 's feelings should always be valued Address the issue with the stranger ahead of time , so that they can learn to approach the child slowly , giving him or her time to warm up . The stranger should be informed of the child 's fear , so they are not hurt when the child reacts negatively to them . Holding your child 's hand when you 're introducing him or her to new people has been found to be a good way to create a feeling of trust between him or her and the stranger . Frequently introduce children to new people . Take them to places where they might interact with strangers . Taking your time when a fearful situation shows up will be crucial . If rushed , your child can become even more sensitive . Gradually bring new babysitters or child - care workers into the child 's life . Showing understanding of the fears of your children should be priority number one . Ignoring or dismissing these feelings will only aggravate the problem . Above all , the child 's feelings should always be valued more than the strangers ' . Patience and respect are very important when dealing with stranger anxiety . A child should never be labeled or ridiculed for being frightened . Extreme anxiety can affect development , especially if a child is so terrified that they will not explore new environments and hinder themselves from learning . Also , research shows that exposure to circumstances that produce persistent fear and chronic anxiety can have a lifelong effect on a child 's brain by disrupting its developing architecture . While stranger anxiety is a normal part of child development , if it becomes so severe that it restricts normal life professional help might be necessary . Seeking the help of a pediatrician is recommended if the situation does n't improve , or even regresses in time . Often , pediatricians will be able to find the origin of the anxiety suffered by the child and create a plan of action in order to rectify the situation . Stranger anxiety and autism spectrum disorder ( edit ) According to the American Psychiatric Association , Autism Spectrum Disorder ( ASD ) is defined as `` a developmental disorder characterized by troubles with social interaction and communication , and by restricted and repetitive behavior '' . There is a significant overlap between the behaviors that characterize ASD and those observed in stranger anxiety , which makes diagnoses and research more difficult . However , individuals with ASD often have a rigid understanding of the world and behave in a very rule - based and compartmentalized manner , depending on their placement on the spectrum . Thus , the social interactions and stranger approaches seen in children are often modeled from their caretakers and are based on the rules they are told . Modelling in stranger anxiety in ASD ( edit ) Children with developmentally appropriate behavior also model their parents ' behavior and can exhibit stranger anxiety until about 6 years old , but children with ASD have difficulty accepting behavioral information and understanding how to behave with certain people and strangers . Thus , if caretakers / parents demonstrate negative behavior , like facial expressions , verbal communications , or physical retractions , towards strangers , children with autism will often imitate this behavior . Although children with ASD often have difficulty with imitation , children are often taught that strangers are `` dangerous '' . Moreover , if caretakers teach children with autism that strangers are unsafe , they will demonstrate stranger anxiety and have difficulty understanding otherwise as they grow . For example , caretakers may teach children to never speak to strangers , but children with ASD will understand this literally and may fear and be anxious around all strangers . Strategies ( edit ) Therefore , it is crucial to appropriately teach children with autism who they may expect to meet in a given location and situation and what those people look like , in order for them to be self - sufficient and not anxious wherever they are . Individuals with ASD need to understand not only who they should be interacting with in the community , but also what the expected behaviors are during these interactions . Moreover , caretakers / parents are cautioned to not reinforce negative reactions when strangers are seen and to teach `` stranger danger '' precariously . Thus , children with autism should be taught strategies that slightly differ than a developmentally appropriate child . One example of a strategy is the Circles Program , which color coordinates individuals that a child may encounter by titling them in different colored circles and outlining the expected social boundaries with these people . Another strategy used for children with ASD and stranger anxiety is to use social stories , this includes pictures and audio tapes which makes understanding possible changes they may encounter with strangers . Stranger terror ( edit ) Play media Child afraid of new women in classroom Stranger terror is extremely severe stranger anxiety that inhibits the child 's normal functioning . The DSM - V describes stranger terror as infants with a reactive attachment disorder , inhibited type and do not respond to or initiate contact with others , but rather show extreme trepidation and ambivalence about unknown adults . Anxiety and fear around strangers usually appears around 6 months of age and it slowly increases throughout the first year of life . This increase in stranger anxiety correlates with the same time as when the child starts crawling , walking and exploring its surroundings . The age of the child seems to play an important role in the development of stranger terror in infants . Older infants ( i.e. at least 12 months ) seem to be more effected than younger infants because their cognitive development to know and remember has matured more than younger infants and their attachment to caregivers is stronger than younger infants . Stranger anxiety and stranger terror is associated to the Attachment Theory , to the attachment to caregiver . Seen across different species , attachment increases the chances of the infant 's survival in the world . In a research conducted by Tyrrell and Dozier ( 1997 ) , they found that infants in foster care show more attachment - related difficulties than control infants in their families . Those foster children were sometimes unsoothable after the contact or even just the presence of a stranger . There have been hypotheses that for these infants the appearance of the stranger represented a potential loss of the new attachment figure and it was the fear of re-experiencing this loss that prompted their behavior . Those children with stranger anxiety will rarely go beyond their caregiver to explore their surroundings . Stranger terror elicits strong reactions from children as described below , most likely due to the degree of traumatic event which causes their strong reactions such as the loss of a mother . In order to cope with attachment - related traumas , children suffering from stranger terror develop abnormal means of coping with these events by viewing all adults as threatening and avoiding contact with everyone , for example . Strange situation ( edit ) In a Strange Situation experiment , a child of the age of 20 months was in a room with their mother and a stranger would enter . The child would go hide behind the legs of the mother . The mother was then asked to leave the room and leave the child with the stranger . After the first separation , the child began to scream and was extremely upset . He refused all contact with the stranger and when the adult tried to pick up the child he would scream louder until put back down . Any attempts by the stranger to sooth the child was unsuccessful . When the mother came back in the room for the first reunion , the child somewhat calmed down , but he was still very upset and distressed . For the second part of the experiment , the child was left alone in the room for a couple of minutes before the stranger entered again . The second the stranger entered the room the child began crying loudly again even if no contact was made . To conclude , although resistance to a stranger is common for children , the extreme reactions was far more urgent and depicted terror . In addition , most babies in the experiment show some evidence of settling when the stranger enters the room the second time . In contrast , children with stranger terror showed an increase in distress upon the stranger 's entry . Children go and hide when a stranger enters their home Some signs of stranger terror ( edit ) Fleeing when a person they do n't know enters their home , even if they are n't interacting with the child . Worried facial expressions that are typically seen on an older child . Being very upset by a stranger 's presence , even in the child 's own home . Loud screaming or arching of the back when an unfamiliar person tries to comfort or hold the child . Being silent or wary for longer than normal periods with fearful facial expressions .

For a list of wrestlers who have held the now - retired `` World Heavyweight Championship '' , see List of World Heavyweight Champions ( WWE ) . Current champion Jinder Mahal The WWE Championship is a professional wrestling championship in WWE , currently on the SmackDown brand . It is the first world title established in WWE , having been introduced in 1963 as the World Wide Wrestling Federation ( WWWF ) World Heavyweight Championship . The promotion was renamed World Wrestling Federation ( WWF ) in 1979 and ended its affiliation with the National Wrestling Alliance ( NWA ) in 1983 , with the title also renamed to reflect the changes . In 2001 , it was unified with the World Championship ( formerly the WCW World Heavyweight Championship ) following the WWF 's buyout of World Championship Wrestling ( WCW ) and became the Undisputed WWF Championship . In 2002 , the WWF was renamed World Wrestling Entertainment ( WWE ) and split its roster into two brands , Raw and SmackDown . The title , now renamed WWE Championship , was then designated to the SmackDown brand , while WWE established an alternate world title known as the World Heavyweight Championship for the Raw brand . A third alternate world title , the ECW World Heavyweight Championship , was reactivated for the ECW brand in 2006 . It was vacated and decommissioned when the ECW brand disbanded in 2010 . When WWE Champion Randy Orton defeated World Heavyweight Champion John Cena at the TLC pay - per - view on December 15 , 2013 , the World Heavyweight Championship was unified with the WWE Championship , resulting in the retiring of the former , and the renaming of the latter to the WWE World Heavyweight Championship . On June 27 , 2016 , the name was shortened back to the WWE Championship , before assuming the WWE World Championship name on July 26 , 2016 , when the brand extension returned . It became designated to the SmackDown brand , and WWE again established an alternate world title known as the WWE Universal Championship for the Raw brand . In December 2016 , WWE again shortened the title 's name back to WWE Championship . The championship is generally contested in professional wrestling matches , in which participants execute scripted finishes rather than contend in direct competition . Some reigns were held by champions using a ring name , while others use their real name . The first champion was Buddy Rogers , who won the championship in 1963 . The champion with the single longest reign is Bruno Sammartino with a reign of 2,803 days , while the record for longest combined reign is also held by Sammartino at 4,040 . The current champion is Jinder Mahal , who is in his first reign . He won the championship by defeating Randy Orton at Backlash in Rosemont , Illinois on May 21 , 2017 . Overall , there have been 50 different official champions , with John Cena having the most reigns at thirteen . Seven men in history have held the championship for a continuous reign of one year ( 365 days ) or more : Bruno Sammartino , Pedro Morales , Bob Backlund , Hulk Hogan , Randy Savage , John Cena , and CM Punk .

About Wikipedia	what is the longest title reign in wwe history	[ "The championship is generally contested in professional wrestling matches, in which participants execute scripted finishes rather than contend in direct competition. Some reigns were held by champions using a ring name, while others use their real name. The first champion was Buddy Rogers, who won the championship in 1963. The champion with the single longest reign is Bruno Sammartino with a reign of 2,803 days, while the record for longest combined reign is also held by Sammartino at 4,040. The current champion is Jinder Mahal, who is in his first reign. He won the championship by defeating Randy Orton at Backlash in Rosemont, Illinois on May 21, 2017." ]	[ "2,803 days" ]

Miss Crabtree agrees to let the four kids go , forcing them out of her surprise ice cream cake party for the class . The Rascals head over to Grandma Larson 's bakery , and bump into Officer Kennedy along the way . Kennedy is dating Miss Crabtree , and the kids ask him why he has not proposed to her yet . The gang later head over to their tree house located next to Grandma 's bakery to begin rehearsing for an upcoming talent show . The Rascals have their own band , which Spanky decides to call The International Silver String Submarine Band . The band plans on playing Sonny & Cher 's `` I Got You Babe '' for the talent show but wind up sounding terrible . Alfalfa suggests making the performance better by getting Darla to sing the song with him . During band practice , Grandma is asked to visit the local bank and leaves the kids in charge of her bakery . The gang are asked to prepare a red velvet cake , but they put too much yeast in , causing the inflating dessert to explode in the kitchen . Meanwhile , a bank officer informs Grandma that she owes the bank $10,000 . If she is unable to pay the money in two weeks , she will lose her bakery . To make matters worse , Waldo Kaye 's father wants to buy the bakery and replace it with a shopping mall . Waldo wants the kids ' tree house for himself and ends up setting off the burglar alarm . Spanky suggests the gang get jobs in order to help save Grandma 's bakery . Porky , Buckwheat , Mary Ann and Stymie all offer their services in professional working environments but are turned away at each one . Spanky and Alfalfa get jobs as Mr. Kaye 's caddies at the local country club , but the two are quickly kicked out of the club after Spanky interrupts Officer Kennedy 's date with Miss Crabtree by accidentally hitting a golf ball at the policeman 's forehead . This does not stop Spanky . He suggests a pet washing business , which quickly goes haywire after he mistakenly replaces a bottle of shampoo with one containing green dye . The fur of several pets turns green , including Darla 's cat . Alfalfa tries to make up for it by offering Darla a ride to the library on his bicycle , but she instead decides to go with Waldo in his toy car . This gives Spanky the idea for the Rascals to build their own taxi cab . This business also ends poorly after Waldo cuts the car 's brake wires , sending them down a steep hill and into a gazebo . Darla , who was riding in the taxi , once again leaves Alfalfa for Waldo . Officer Kennedy , who has constantly had his dates with Miss Crabtree interrupted by the Rascals , yells at the kids for ruining yet another attempt at proposing marriage to the schoolteacher . Angered that Kennedy does not like children , Miss Crabtree breaks up with him . Spanky next decides to have Alfalfa get into the wrestling ring against the mysterious Masked Marvel . Porky is to play Alfalfa 's opponent , but he accidentally tells to Waldo . Waldo then hires Butch and The Woim to stop Alfalfa from winning the wrestling match . Butch takes Porky 's place in the ring and easily beats Alfalfa . To make matters worse , Waldo convinces Spanky to bet the money he had made from the match to him in the event that Alfalfa loses . Angered at their leader 's poor decision and his bossy attitude , the rest of the gang turn against Spanky , but after a talk with Grandma , Spanky is able to rekindle his friendship with the others . The kids now begin rehearsing for the talent show , their last chance at earning the $10,000 for Grandma . Meanwhile , Miss Crabtree agrees to continue dating Officer Kennedy on the condition that he attends the kids ' talent show with her . Kennedy reluctantly agrees . At the talent show , the gang are up against several professional acts including a song - and - dance routine by Waldo and Darla , but Waldo continuously pushes Darla out of the spotlight and she eventually leaves him after he attempts to sabotage the International Silver String Submarine Band 's performance . The band 's rendition of `` I Got You Babe '' starts poorly and gradually gets fair , and gets even better when Darla arrives to sing with Alfalfa . The Rascals win the $10,000 , Darla officially joins the gang 's band ( and becomes Alfalfa 's girlfriend ) , Grandma 's bakery is saved , and Miss Crabtree agrees to marry Officer Kennedy . In a mid-credit sequence , Waldo gets a `` tree house '' from his Dad as promised , in the form of a miniature of their own huge mansion . When his Dad offers Waldo to christen it himself , Waldo proudly announces it a members - only place and strikes the bottle to one of its pillars . However , instead of the bottle , the pillar develops a crack , which then spreads throughout the house and within a moment , it shatters to dust . Waldo 's Dad comments to a shocked Waldo , that he might still have the receipt .

These include : The `` high - sign '' originally appeared in the Little Rascals short Anniversary Trouble . The kids getting themselves kicked out of school during a classroom party originally appeared in the Little Rascals short Teacher 's Pet . The main plot , involving saving Grandma 's bakery , was borrowed from the Little Rascals film Helping Grandma . The kids ' band , The International Silver String Submarine Band , was original featured in the Little Rascals film Mike Fright . In a deleted scene , Spanky and Alfalfa interrupt Butch 's trombone performance by eating lemons . This gag was also borrowed from Mike Fright . The kids preparing a cake was borrowed from 1932 's Birthday Blues . The sounds that the cake makes inside of the oven are also based on those made by the cake in Birthday Blues . Spanky and Alfalfa getting jobs as caddies was the plot for the Little Rascals comedy Divot Diggers . A parrot says , `` Remarkable ! '' , a nod to the Our Gang film Forgotten Babies . In a deleted scene , the parrot also says , `` Yum , yum ! Eat ' em up ! '' , a nod to The Kid From Borneo .

Robert McGowan directed several of the original Little Rascals shorts between 1922 and 1933 . Miss Crabtree 's first name is June , while Officer Kennedy 's first name is Edgar . This is a nod to June Marlowe and Edgar Kennedy , the actors who portrayed Miss Crabtree and Officer Kennedy in the original Little Rascals shorts . A marquee on a movie theater reads `` Hal Roach Film Festival . Hal Roach was the producer creator of the Our Gang / Little Rascals series . The talent show host is named Leo McCarey . McCarey worked on several of the original Little Rascals shorts . Bug Hall , who portrayed Alfalfa in the 1994 film , cameos as an ice cream man . In a deleted scene , he suggests that Alfalfa reminds him of himself when he was younger . The `` figurine '' on the cab is the same as the figurine on `` Blur 2 : The Sequel '' .

The Jordan brand sponsors 21 active NBA players , including Jimmy Butler , Chris Paul , Blake Griffin , Kawhi Leonard , Russell Westbrook and Carmelo Anthony . They also endorse Nike Air Jordan products . Also they sponsor other leagues such as the MLB , NFL , NASCAR and the WNBA . AJ I : Air Jordan I , ( Royal Blue Colorway ) The Air Jordan 1 was first produced for Michael Jordan in 1984 . It was designed by Peter C. Moore . The red and black colorway of the Nike Air Ship , the prototype for the Jordan 1 , was later outlawed by NBA Commissioner David Stern for having very little white on them ( this rule , known as the ' 51 percent ' rule , was repealed in the late 2000s decade ) . It is a common misconception that the Jordan 1 was banned however , it was indeed the Nike Air Ship . After the Nike Air Ship was banned , Michael Jordan and Nike introduced the Jordan 1 in color ways with more white such as the `` Chicago '' color way and the `` Black Toe '' color way . They used the Nike Air Ship 's banning as a promotional tool in advertisements hinting that the shoes gave an unfair competitive advantage for the Jordan 1 and that whoever wore them had a certain edginess associated with outlaw activities . The Air Jordan I was originally released on the market from 1985 to 1986 . Then retro - ed in 1994 , 2001 -- 2004 , and 2007 -- 2017 . AJ II : Nike Air Jordan II , ( White / Red Colorway ) The success of the Air Jordan 1 encouraged Nike to release the New Air Jordan in 1986 for the new basketball season . Designed by Peter Moore and Bruce Kilgore , the original Air Jordan II was unique in that it was made in Italy . The Air Jordan 2 also retailed with a full length encapsulated Nike air bubble for maximum comfort . The Air Jordan 2 was the first Jordan not to have the Nike swoosh on the upper . The Air Jordan II was originally retailed at $100 . The Air Jordan was originally released from 1986 to 1987 . The model was revived from obscurity when Air Jordan collaborated with Just Don to create the Just Don x Air Jordan 2 . The shoe featured premium blue quilted leather inspired by a Chanel handbag and released in very limited numbers on January 31 , 2015 for $275 . The shoe was released again in a Beach colourway bundled with a premium snapback and gold pin for $650 on January 30 , 2016 . Then retro - ed in 1994 , 2004 -- 2005 , 2008 , 2010 , 2014 -- 2017 . AJ III : Nike Air Jordan III , ( White Cement Colorway ) The Air Jordan III was designed by Tinker Hatfield who works for Nike as a designer for stores and offices . By that time Michael Jordan was ready to leave Nike , but the Jordan III changed his mind . It was the first Air Jordan to feature a visible air unit on the heel , the new Jumpman logo , an elephant print trim and tumble leather to give it a luxury look . The Air Jordan III was also famous for the humorous ads depicting film director Spike Lee as Mars Blackmon , the character he played in his film She 's Gotta Have It . This campaign was known as the `` Mars and Mike '' ad campaign , which was one of Nike 's most successful advertisement campaigns . These were the first Jordan 's to feature the `` NIKE AIR '' logo on the back , but later replaced by the Jumpman logo , with the words `` AIR '' underneath it , similar to the Air Jordan VI . These were said to be Michael Jordan 's favorite shoes , he wore them during the 1988 NBA Slam Dunk Contest and many other events in his basketball career . The Air Jordan III 's had poor sales when first reintroduced in 1994 . On their second reintroduction in 2001 , they sold well . The `` Fire Red '' Air Jordan III was released in March 2007 , and late again in 2013 . In 2007 , Jordan Brand collaborated with director Spike Lee to release a limited pair of Air Jordan III 's the Do The Right Thing movie poster . The same year also saw the reintroduced versions of the Air Jordan III 's in two monotone colorways , all black and all white , nicknamed the `` Black Cats '' and the `` Pure Moneys '' respectively . 2007 also had the `` Flips '' which moved the elephant print from the trim to the entire shoe and replacing it with white leather , indeed `` Flipping '' the original design of white leather with elephant print trim . In 2009 , the Jordan Brand reintroduced the highly sought after Air Jordan III in the True Blue colorway . It was an international - only release , meaning they were not sold in the US . In 2011 , the brand released a Black History Month ( BHM ) Air Jordan III colorway in commemoration of the 35th anniversary of Black History Month . The sneaker is black with gold trim and stitching as well as laser print around the toe and heel . The BHM III was a very limited release and there was said to have been no more than 3,000 pairs made . Also , the same year saw the release of the `` True Blue '' III on June 4 . The Stealth colorway of the III was released in September and the Black Cements were released in November . The `` Black Flips '' were released on December 3 , 2011 . In 2013 , Jordan released a special edition of the Jordan III this shoe was deemed the Air Jordan III `` Retro ' 88 '' White Cement and were released in February . The Air Jordan III was originally released in 1988 . The multiple retros and new colorways have been released in 1994 , 2001 , 2007 , 2009 , 2011 , 2013 , 2014 , 2016 and 2017 . AJ IV : Nike Air Jordan IV , ( White Cement Colorway ) In 1989 , Nike released the Air Jordan IV to the public . Designed by Tinker Hatfield , it was the first Air Jordan released on the global market . It had four colorways : White / Black - Cement Grey , Black / Cement Grey , White / Fire Red - Black , and Off White / Military Blue . Nike featured director and actor Spike Lee in ads for AJ IV . Lee had featured the shoe in his movie Do The Right Thing . The Air Jordan Bordeaux `` Spiz'ike IV '' was made to commemorate Lee 's friendship with Michael Jordan . The Air Jordan IV was on Jordan 's feet when he made `` The Shot , '' a series winner in Game 5 of the 1989 NBA First Round between the Chicago Bulls and the Cleveland Cavaliers . In 2012 a Cavalier colorway dubbed the `` Cavs '' was released to honor `` The Shot . '' The Air Jordan IV was re-released in 1999 and retroed in 2000 , 2004 , 2006 , 2008 , 2010 -- 2013 and 2015 -- 2017 . Recent retroed colorways are the Retro 4 `` Legend Blue '' , `` Oreo '' in early 2015 , and the Retro 4 OG `` Cement '' that released on February 13 , 2016 . AJ V : Nike Air Jordan V , ( Fire Red Colorway ) The Air Jordan V was released in February 1990 , designed by Tinker Hatfield again . Some elements were carried over from the Air Jordan IV , but overall they were a completely new look . Some of its new features were a reflective tongue ( with a unique protruding design and look ) , translucent rubber soles and lace locks . The soles gave them a new look , but it yellowed over time when exposed to moisture and were the source of many complaints early on due to the slippery nature of the soles when collecting dust . Hatfield is believed to have drawn inspiration for the Air Jordan V from World War II fighter planes , which was most notably visible in the shark teeth shapes on the midsole . The Air Jordan V was reintroduced in 2000 , including a new colorway featuring Michael Jordan 's high school ( Laney High ) colors . In 2006 several V 's were reintroduced , including the LS `` Grape '' V 's , the LS `` burgundy '' V 's , the `` Fire - Red '' V 's , the `` Green Bean '' V 's , and `` Stealth Blue V 's . Along with the latter , a very limited laser design and the black / metallic / fire red colorways were released in early 2007 . In the month of May 2009 , Air Jordan confirmed the release of an `` DMP II '' consisting of two Air Jordan V 's . The second colorway features a 3M material base with black laces and midsole . The retail price was $310 . The Air Jordan V was originally released in 1990 . It was retroed in 2000 , 2006 -- 2009 , 2011 and 2013 -- 2017 . The Air Jordan V saw a lot of use in popular sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel - Air . During many episodes Will Smith wore the ' metallic silver ' , ' grape ' , and ' fire red ' colorway . To pay tribute to his character , Jordan released the Air Jordan 5 Bel Air in 2013 . AJ VI : Air Jordan VI - 2010 Retro ( Black / Varsity Red Colorway ) The Air Jordan VI had a new design by Tinker Hatfield and released in 1991 . The Original 5 colorways were : Black / Infrared , White / Infrared , White / Carmine - Black , White / Sport Blue , and Off White / Maroon . The Air Jordan VI introduced a reinforcement around the toe , It had two holes in the tongue , and a molded heel tab on the back of the sneaker ( demanded by Jordan so it would n't hit his Achilles tendon ) . Like the Air Jordan V this sneaker also had Clear rubber / `` Icy '' Soles . The Air Jordan VI was the last Air Jordan to feature the Nike Air logo on it . Later that year the Bulls defeated the Lakers in the 1991 NBA Finals , with Jordan ( wearing the Black / Infrared ) named as the most valuable player . That was also the first NBA Championship won by Jordan and the Bulls . The Jordan VI was also seen in the film White Men Ca n't Jump , which was produced in 1991 and released one year later . The Air Jordan VI has been retro - ed many times since its original release in 1991 , Notable releases were in 2000 , 2002 , 2005 , 2008 , 2010 , 2012 and 2014 with the Black Infrared Colorway . In addition to a Porsche - inspired rear pull tab and visible air the Air Jordan VI was the first Jordan with an inner bootie . The Air Jordan VI was originally released in 1991 . It was retro - ed in 2000 , 2002 , 2006 , 2008 -- 2010 , 2012 and 2014 -- 2017 . The Air Jordan VI saw much of screen time in 2015 's Creed . Adonis Johnson ( Michael B. Jordan ) can be seen sporting the black / infrared and the white / varsity red - black colorway through most of the movie , most notably during the training montage before the big fight that Rocky films are known for . The VI was the first shoe used by the protagonist of Slam Dunk , Hanamichi Sakuragi . Nike released special versions of both the VI and the Jordan Super. Fly 3 featuring artwork from the series in 2014 . The VI also had Sakuragi 's number 10 embroidered on the side of the heels . Various other models in the Air Jordan line are featured in the series , including the original ( which Sakuragi eventually switched to ) , the V , and the XII ( both worn by Sakuragi 's rival , Kaede Rukawa ) . AJ VII Air Jordan VII sneakers specially released for 1992 Barcelona Olympics . The Air Jordan VII was released in 1992 with a new design by Tinker Hatfield . This shoe introduced the huarache technology which allowed the shoes to better conform to the user 's foot . A few things were no longer featured on the new model , such as the visible air sole , the Nike Air logo , and the translucent soles . This was the first Air - Jordan in the line that did not have any distinctive `` Nike Air '' on the outer portions of the shoe . The `` Nike Air '' branding was still on the in - soles , which Air Jordans VIII - XI also had . The VIIs were also known for a successful ad campaign in which Bugs Bunny appeared alongside Michael Jordan to market the shoes . When Jordan went to compete at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics to play for the US Men 's Basketball Team ( also known as the `` Dream Team '' ) , Nike released a special Olympic color combo of the Air Jordan VII model which had Jordan 's Olympic jersey number 9 , instead of the usual `` 23 '' found on other colorways . Various models of the Air Jordan VII were re-released in 2002 , again in 2004 , and again with different colors in 2006 . In 2011 the Air Jordan VII saw releases in the `` Orion '' and `` Bordeaux '' colorways . Other colorways are confirmed for a 2011 release as well , such as the `` Cardinals '' which is a re-release and `` Year of the Rabbits '' . The `` Olympic '' and `` Charcoal '' ( commonly referred to as Raptors ) were re-released in 2012 . The Air Jordan VII was originally released in 1992 . It was retro - ed in 2002 , 2004 , 2006 , 2008 -- 2012 and 2015 -- 2017 . AJ VIII : Nike Air Jordan VIII , ( Playoffs Colorway ) The Air Jordan VIII was released to coincide with the 1992 -- 1993 NBA season . The eighth model of the Air Jordan was noticeably heavier than its predecessors . This shoe had a lot more detail than most of the earlier Air Jordan 's such as two crossover straps on each shoe and a Jumpman . Thus the Air Jordan VIII model became known as the `` Punisher '' because of the advanced basketball ankle support and enhanced traction . This shoe contains a full length air sole , polyurethane midsole , polycarbonate shank plate , and two crossover straps ( for added support and more custom fit ) . The Air Jordan VIII was originally released in 1993 . It was retro - ed in 2003 , 2007 , 2008 , 2013 and 2015 -- 2017 . AJ IX : Nike Air Jordan IX , ( Bulls Colorway ) Originally released in November 1993 , the Air Jordan IX model was the first model released after Michael Jordan 's retirement . Jordan never played an NBA season wearing these shoes . This model was inspired by baseball cleats that Jordan wore when playing minor - league baseball . Like the VII and VIII models , the Air Jordan IX featured an inner sock sleeve and nubuck accents . The sole featured different symbols and languages of different countries . The Air Jordan IX has been the shoe chosen to adorn Jordan 's feet for his statue outside of the United Center in Chicago . In popular culture , in the children 's movie The Little Rascals one of the bullies , Butch is wearing a pair of these shoes . American rap icon Tupac Shakur also wore Air Jordans in a popular `` Thug Life '' photo set in 1993 . The Air Jordan IX was originally released from 1993 to 1994 . It was retro - ed in 2002 , 2008 , 2010 , 2012 , 2014 -- 2017 . AJ X : Nike Air Jordan X , ( Steel Colorway ) This was released in 1995 in eight different colors , Black / grey , varsity - black , off - white / black / varsity red * , Powder Blue ( worn by University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill 's Men 's and Women 's basketball teams ) , Orlando Magic * , New York Knicks * , Seattle SuperSonics * , and Sacramento Kings * . It was the first Air Jordan to feature a lightweight Phylon midsole . The shoe also featured all of Michael Jordan 's accomplishments so far on the outsole . In 2012 , the Air Jordan X was re-released . They are dubbed the `` Chicago Bulls '' , as they are part of a regional pack ( City Pack ) , representing five teams . The lacing and tongue are completely black , and the red inner lining contrasts with the red inserts on the outsole . The outsole 's design features a striped ( wavy ) design , which list many of Jordan 's accomplishments . They retailed at $160 . The Air Jordan X was released again in an OVO collaboration in 2015 and 2016 , releasing in white and black colorways respectively with stingray detailing . The Air Jordan X was originally released from 1994 to 1995 . It was retro - ed in 2005 , 2008 and 2012 -- 2016 . AJ XI : Nike Air Jordan XI , ( Bred Colorway ) This model was designed by Tinker Hatfield . When the shoe launched , Michael Jordan ( retired from basketball by then ) was with the Birmingham Barons in baseball 's minor baseball leagues . Hatfield designed the sneaker waiting for Jordan to come back and hoping he would play in them . The ballistic mesh upper of the sneaker was meant to make the Air Jordan XI lighter and more durable than past sneakers . Further changes came with the use of a carbon fiber spring plate in the translucent `` frosty '' outsole , giving the shoe better torque when twisting on the court . The highlight and arguably best - known aspect of the shoe is its patent leather mudguard . Patent leather was lightweight compared to genuine leather and also tended not to stretch as much -- a property to help keep the foot within the bounds of the foot bed during directional changes on the court . The patent leather gave the XI a `` formal '' look . When this shoe released , some wore this model with business suits instead of dress shoes .

Air Jordan 6 : Heel tab `` spoiler '' , Jumpman on heel from retro 6 models , and lace locks Air Jordan 7 : Nike Huarache style inner sock and perforated air holes in the mudguard of the upper Air Jordan 8 : Chenille carpet - style sections on the tongue surrounding the Jumpman logo , dual velcro straps , the shape of the `` 23 '' printed on the lace locks and the colors on the midfoot arch plate on the sole Air Jordan 11 : Silhouette of upper , lace eyestays on certain models and patent leather mudguard Air Jordan 12 : TWO 3 embroidered on the tongue and metal lace loops at top of the ankle Air Jordan 13 : Midsole `` pods '' and panther paw - shaped outsole Air Jordan 14 : Small Jumpman logo embroidered at the top Controversy ( edit ) The Air Jordan line has been associated with many riots , assaults , robberies , and murders , such as the murder of a 15 - year - old high school student named Michael Eugene Thomas who was choked to death by one of his peers for a pair of Air Jordan sneakers in 1989 . In 1988 , the then - principal of Mumford High School mentioned that clothing - related violence had reached a point where he felt it was necessary to ban certain items of clothing , including the Air Jordan sneaker , from the school grounds . This ban was the first of many dress codes implemented in schools after the wave of robberies , beatings , and shootings over possession of Air Jordan sneakers and other items of clothing . Manufacturing ( edit ) Nike owns none of the factories where Air Jordans are produced and contracts the work to various factory owners . Company officials say that they only advertise and market the shoes . However , Nike dictates production terms and standards to the contractor , often without questioning labor or safety practices . In April 1997 , 10,000 Indonesian workers went on strike over wage violations at an Air Jordan factory . The same month in Vietnam 1,300 workers went on strike demanding a 1 - cent - per - hour raise , and a year later in 1998 , 3,000 workers in China went on strike to protest hazardous working conditions and low wages cause .

The 79th edition of the tournament began on March 14 , 2017 , and concluded with the championship game on April 3 at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale , Arizona . The championship game was the first to be contested in a Western state since 1995 when Seattle was the host of the Final Four for that year . In the Final Four , North Carolina beat Oregon ( making their first Final Four appearance since 1939 ) while Gonzaga defeated South Carolina ( both making their first ever Final Four appearance ) . North Carolina then defeated Gonzaga 71 -- 65 to win the national championship .

The Ivy League , which previously granted its automatic tournament bid to its regular season champion , hosted a postseason tournament to determine a conference champion for the first time . In previous years , had the Ivy League had two schools tied for first in the standings , a one - game playoff ( or series as was the case in the 2002 season ) determined the automatic bid . On March 10 , 2016 , the Ivy League 's council of presidents approved a four - team tournament where the top four teams in the regular season would play on March 11 and 12 at Philadelphia 's Palestra . The remaining 36 teams received `` at - large '' bids which are extended by the NCAA Selection Committee . On January 24 , 2016 , the NCAA announced that the Selection Committee would , for the first time , unveil in - season rankings of the top four teams in each division on February 11 , 2017 . Eight teams -- the four lowest - seeded automatic qualifiers and the four lowest - seeded at - large teams -- played in the First Four ( the successor to what had been known as `` play - in games '' through the 2010 tournament ) . The winners of these games advanced to the main draw of the tournament . The Selection Committee also seeded the entire field from 1 to 68 . The committee 's selections resulted in two historic milestones . The Northwestern Wildcats of the Big Ten Conference made their first - ever NCAA Tournament in school history , officially becoming the last `` power conference '' school to make the tournament . ( This fact is ironic considering that Northwestern hosted the first - ever NCAA Tournament in 1939 ) . The Wildcats ' First Round opponent , the Vanderbilt Commodores of the Southeastern Conference , also made history : with a record of 19 - 15 , they set the mark for the most ever losses for an at - large team in tournament history . Four conference champions also made their first NCAA appearances : North Dakota ( Big Sky Conference ) , UC Davis ( Big West Conference ) , Jacksonville State ( Ohio Valley Conference ) , and first - year Division I school Northern Kentucky ( Horizon League ) . 2017 NCAA tournament schedule and venues ( edit ) Dayton Buffalo Milwaukee Orlando Salt Lake City Greenville Indianapolis Tulsa Sacramento 2017 First Four ( orange ) and First and Second rounds ( green ) Note : Greensboro , North Carolina was originally awarded First and Second round games , but the games were relocated to Greenville , South Carolina due to NCAA objections over HB2 . Kansas City San Jose Memphis New York City Glendale 2017 Regionals ( blue ) and Final Four ( red ) The following sites were selected to host each round of the 2017 tournament First Four March 14 and 15 University of Dayton Arena , Dayton , Ohio ( Host : University of Dayton ) First and Second Rounds March 16 and 18 Amway Center , Orlando , Florida ( Hosts : University of Central Florida and Stetson University ) Bradley Center , Milwaukee ( Host : Marquette University ) KeyBank Center , Buffalo , New York ( Host : Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference , Niagara University and Canisius College ) Vivint Smart Home Arena , Salt Lake City ( Host : University of Utah ) March 17 and 19 Bankers Life Fieldhouse , Indianapolis ( Hosts : Horizon League and IUPUI ) BOK Center , Tulsa , Oklahoma ( Host : University of Tulsa ) Bon Secours Wellness Arena , Greenville , South Carolina , ( Hosts : Southern Conference and Furman University ) Golden 1 Center , Sacramento , California ( Host : California State University , Sacramento ) Regional Semifinals and Finals ( Sweet Sixteen and Elite Eight ) March 23 and 25 Midwest Regional , Sprint Center , Kansas City , Missouri ( Host : Big 12 Conference ) West Regional , SAP Center , San Jose , California ( Host : Pac - 12 Conference ) March 24 and 26 East Regional , Madison Square Garden , New York City ( Hosts : St. John 's University and Big East Conference ) South Regional , FedExForum , Memphis , Tennessee ( Host : University of Memphis ) National Semifinals and Championship ( Final Four and Championship ) April 1 and 3 University of Phoenix Stadium , Glendale , Arizona ( Host : Arizona State University ) The city of Glendale , a Phoenix suburb , became the 30th host city , and the University of Phoenix Stadium became the 39th host venue , to host a Final Four . For the second straight year , no regional games were held in domed stadiums , a move dictated in 2013 by the NCAA to limit use of the stadiums for the regional rounds . The tournament featured two new arenas in previously visited markets . For the first time the tournament was held at the Bankers Life Fieldhouse , the home of the Indiana Pacers . This marks the first time since 1982 that a venue other than the RCA Dome or Lucas Oil Stadium hosted games within the city of Indianapolis . It also became the fifth venue within the city to host games , temporarily tying Indianapolis with Houston for the most different venues used within a city ; Houston will add a sixth venue when the Toyota Center hosts games in the 2020 tournament . The tournament also returned to Sacramento , moving to the brand new Golden 1 Center , home of the Sacramento Kings , replacing Sleep Train Arena as the city 's primary indoor sports venue . The 2017 tournament marked the last time that the Bradley Center will be used for tournament games , as it is being replaced by the Wisconsin Entertainment and Sports Center in late 2018 . The WESC is scheduled to host the tournament in 2022 . The tournament also saw a shift in location of first round games from Greensboro , North Carolina to Greenville , South Carolina . Greensboro originally was awarded First and Second Round games , but the games were relocated due to NCAA objections over North Carolina 's passage of HB2 . This was also the first time a South Carolina venue hosted the tournament in 15 years , after the state removed the Confederate battle flag from the South Carolina State House grounds in July 2015 and the NCAA implemented a policy of not hosting championship games in the state in response to the display in 2002 . Qualification and Selection ( edit ) Further information : 2017 NCAA Division I Men 's Basketball Tournament : qualifying teams Eight teams , out of 351 in Division I , were ineligible to participate in the 2017 tournament due to failing to meet APR requirements , self - imposed postseason bans , or reclassification from a lower division . Hawaii had previously been banned from entering the tournament as a penalty for infractions , but the NCAA later reversed its ban . Automatic qualifiers ( edit ) The following 32 teams were automatic qualifiers for the 2017 NCAA field by virtue of winning their conference 's automatic bid .

Media coverage ( edit ) Television ( edit ) CBS Sports and Turner Sports held joint U.S. television broadcast rights to the Tournament under the NCAA March Madness brand . As part of a cycle beginning in 2016 , CBS held rights to the Final Four and championship game . As CBS did not want its audience to be diffused across multiple outlets , there were no localized `` Team Stream '' telecasts of the Final Four or championship games on Turner channels as in previous years . Following criticism of the two - hour format of the 2016 edition , the Selection Sunday broadcast was shortened to 90 minutes . CBS Sports executive Harold Bryant promised that the unveiling of the bracket would be conducted in an `` efficient '' manner , and leave more time to discuss and preview the tournament .

Parker Van Zandt , the owner of Scenic Airways , in 1928 . However , the reasoning for the name is apparently unknown . Scenic Airways collapsed in 1929 after the infamous Black Friday stock market crash . Sky Harbor was the fourth airport built in Phoenix . This fourth airport was built with one runway in 1928 . Acme Investment Company owned the airport until 1935 after the collapse of Scenic Airways . During this time , American Airlines began the airport 's first scheduled passenger and air mail service in 1930 . The city of Phoenix purchased the airport from Acme for $100,000 in 1935 , and TWA began service to San Francisco in 1938 . After the war the airport began work on a new passenger terminal , as well as a new parallel runway and a diagonal runway . On the February 1953 C&GS diagram runways 8L and 8R are each 6,000 feet ( 1,800 m ) long and runway 3 is 5,500 feet ( 1,700 m ) . The $835,000 Terminal 1 ( originally called the `` West Wing '' ) which also had the first control tower , opened in October 1952 . It was torn down in 1991 and replaced by a cell phone waiting lot , with Terminal 1 's parking lot now being the West Economy lot . The April 1957 OAG shows 42 scheduled airline departures a day : 16 American , 11 TWA , 10 Bonanza and 5 Frontier . American began a nonstop DC - 7 to New York ( Idlewild ) in summer 1959 . The airport 's master plan was redesigned in 1959 to eliminate the cross runway to make room for new terminals . American and TWA began jet service to Phoenix in 1960 and 1961 respectively , and Terminal 2 ( originally called the `` East Wing '' ) still in use today , opened in 1962 . Terminal 3 opened in October 1979 , when the `` East '' and `` West '' names were dropped , since they were no longer the only two terminals . Bonanza Airlines moved its headquarters from Las Vegas to Phoenix in 1966 . Bonanza merged with two other airlines to form Air West , which became Hughes Airwest after Howard Hughes bought it in 1970 . After airline deregulation in 1978 former Hughes Airwest executive Ed Beauvais formed a plan for a new airline based in Phoenix . He founded America West Airlines in 1981 , which began service from Phoenix in 1983 and doubled in size during its first year . By the end of the decade America West had a nationwide network and was lobbying for transpacific service . In the meantime Southwest Airlines arrived at Phoenix in January 1982 with thirteen daily flights to twelve cities ; by 1986 it had 64 daily flights from Phoenix and had a crew base there . Southwest opened a maintenance facility at PHX in 1992 which was its largest . In October 1989 ground was broken for Terminal 4 , the largest terminal . It opened on November 2 , 1990 with four concourses : N2 and N3 on the north side and S3 and S4 on the south side . In 1994 the N4 International Concourse was opened , adding 10 gates and a sterile walkway to the S4 concourse . In 1997 construction began on the 14-gate N1 concourse for America West Airlines . It was completed in June 1998 at a cost of $50 million , completing the expansion of the north side of the terminal . On the south side of the terminal , construction began in 2002 on the eight-gate S2 concourse for Southwest Airlines . This project was completed in 2004 and has a different architectural design from the other six concourses . The eighth and final concourse for Terminal 4 will be built when needed . Terminal 4 is named after former Arizona Senator and 1964 Presidential candidate Barry M. Goldwater . After Goldwater 's death in 1998 , the mayor of Phoenix proposed renaming the airport in Goldwater 's memory but was deluged with public support for the familiar `` Sky Harbor '' name . America West filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 1991 and sold its larger aircraft and Japanese route authority , but continued growing its domestic operations from Terminal 4 in cooperation with Continental Airlines . Although AWA enjoyed further growth at Phoenix during the 1990s the aftermath of the September 11 , 2001 attacks strained its financial position . AWA ended its relationship with Continental and merged with US Airways in 2005 . US Airways moved its headquarters to the AWA campus in Tempe and retained many AWA managers to run the merged company . In 2007 the Transportation Security Administration introduced the first of its backscatter X-ray machines at PHX . Sky Harbor 's private airplane area is also one of eight service centers for the Medevac airline Air Evac . Since 1951 through the end of 2017 , nearly 1.2 billion passengers ( domestic and international , enplaned and deplaned ) have transited through PHX , an annual average of 17.6 million passengers . In the same time frame there has been over 27 million aircraft movements ( commercial , military , general aviation ) at PHX , an annual average of 400 thousand movements . PHX has grown over the years into a major US hub , and ranks in the top 40 airports worldwide and in the top dozen US airports in passenger volume . Facilities ( edit ) Runways ( edit ) PHX covers 3,400 acres ( 1,400 ha ) at an elevation of 1,135 ft ( 346 m ) . The airport has three parallel concrete / grooved runways : Runway 8 / 26 measuring 11,489 ft × 150 ft ( 3,502 m × 46 m ) Runway 7L / 25R measuring 10,300 ft × 150 ft ( 3,139 m × 46 m ) Runway 7R / 25L measuring 7,800 ft × 150 ft ( 2,377 m × 46 m ) All three runways allow aircraft with a Maximum takeoff weight of 900,000 + lbs . Atc tower ( edit ) The airport 's current 326 ft ( 99 m ) tall air traffic control tower began operations on January 14 , 2007 . The tower stands just east of the Terminal 3 parking garage , and also houses the Phoenix TRACON . This is Sky Harbor 's fourth control tower and is among the tallest control towers in North America . Terminals ( edit ) Several US Airways planes at Concourse A -- Terminal 4 .

( February 2018 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The airport has 116 aircraft gates in three Terminals ( 2 , 3 , 4 ) . Free ad - supported wireless internet access provided by Boingo Wireless is available in all terminals , with premium paid internet access with higher speeds and no advertisements also available to travelers . The airport administration states that the designation Terminal 1 has been `` retired '' , and that it did not wish to renumber the other terminals since passengers were already familiar with the numbers in place . Terminal 2 ( edit ) Terminal 2 has 17 gates ( numbered consecutively 1 -- 15 and two additional lettered gates C & D ) and three parking slots . It was designed by the Phoenix architectural firms of Weaver & Drover and Lescher & Mahoney and opened in 1962 . Currently , the terminal is used primarily by United Airlines and Alaska Airlines . Terminal 2 also includes a mural by French - American artist Paul Coze in the main lobby area . In November 2006 , a Military and Veterans Hospitality Room , sponsored by the Phoenix Military and Veterans Commission , was opened in Terminal 2 . It has since relocated to Terminal 4 as the new USO . This terminal has undergone two renovation projects . The first was completed in 1988 . The second project , which cost $24 million and was designed by DWL Architects + Planners , Inc. , was completed in 2007 . Terminal 2 is expected to close after the completion of the Terminal 3 South Concourse expansion . The Terminal 3 South Concourse expansion will add nine additional gates to the concourse , fully replacing Terminal 2 . Airlines currently using Terminal 2 : Alaska Airlines Boutique Air Contour Airlines Spirit Airlines Sun Country Airlines United Airlines Terminal 3 ( John S. McCain iii Terminal ) ( edit ) The 880,000 - square - foot ( 82,000 m ) , $35 million Terminal 3 , designed by DWL Architects + Planners , Inc. , broke ground in January 1977 and opened in October 1979 and has 23 gates , separated into two concourses by a central building outside of security . The south concourse houses gates 1 -- 14 ( Gate 3 is missing ) and the north concourse houses gates 15 -- 26 ( Gates 21 and 22 are missing ) . The terminal was remodeled in 1997 . Its only lounge -- Delta 's Crown Room Club -- was closed on April 30 , 2008 but will re-open in November 2018 A future three - part construction and renovation project is underway and will combine Terminal 2 and Terminal 3 , and update the facilities . Part One has created a consolidated security checkpoint , new airline ticket counters , a Museum Gallery and a West Arrival Plaza ( outdoor area with Animal Relief area ) . Part Two will be a brand new South Concourse as a 15 gate , linear concourse . Part Three entails renovating the North Concourse . Both the South and North Concourses will feature new food and beverage outlets , new retail shops , and other customer service amenities . A new Delta Lounge is slated to open in the South Concourse . After the Terminal Modernization Project is complete in 2020 , Terminal 2 will be closed and its operations will move to Terminal 3 .

( April 2016 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Terminal 4 , also designed by DWL Architects + Planners , Inc. , opened in 1990 and has 86 gates , divided into seven satellite concourses connected behind security . Airlines currently using Terminal 4 : Air Canada American Airlines British Airways Condor Southwest Airlines Volaris WestJet Airlines and destinations ( edit ) British Airways provides nonstop service to London -- Heathrow , as well as the only passenger flights on a Boeing 747 to the airport . Condor Airlines began service to Frankfurt , Germany , from Phoenix Sky Harbor on May 18 , 2018 . American Airlines will begin seasonal nonstop service to London - Heathrow , using a Boeing 777 - 200ER beginning in March of 2019 . Lufthansa had operated another transatlantic flight to Frankfurt Airport many years ago , and America West once operated trans - Pacific Boeing 747 flights to Hawaii and Japan , but these services have since ended . However , several airlines offer non-stop service outside the Continental United States to Hawaii and Costa Rica , as well as cities in Mexico and Canada . Service is also provided to parts of Alaska . While Phoenix is one of the busiest airports in the world , the lack of international destinations has initiated the Air Service Development Marketing Program . The Aviation Department offers an international air service development program to encourage new air service between PHX and qualified , unserved , international destinations . Airlines that launch new service to qualifying , unserved international markets during the program period will be eligible for marketing reimbursements and landing fee waivers . The proposed program is open to all airlines . To qualify for the funds the airline must maintain at least three new , weekly round - trips for one consecutive year . Up to $1 million will be awarded , depending on the frequency and destination . As well as intercontinental routes , they will fund airlines who increase or create new flights to North American destinations such as Mexico City , Toronto , and Boston , among others . The strategy began to pay off when , on June 22 , 2017 , Condor announced it would begin flying a Phoenix - Frankfurt route during 2018 , marking the return of a German airline to Sky Harbor .

The Phoenix Sky Train is an automated people - mover , much like other airports ' , that transports Sky Harbor passengers from the 44th Street and Washington Light Rail station to Sky Harbor 's East Economy Parking lot , through all three terminals . Phase 1 opened on April 8 , 2013 and runs from the 44th Street and Washington Light Rail station , to East Economy Parking and on to Terminal 4 . Phase 1A shuttles passengers to Terminal 3 with a walkway to Terminal 2 . Phase 1A opened on December 8 , 2014 . Phase 2 will transport passengers to the Rental Car Center . Phase two is not expected to be completed anytime prior to 2022 . Sky Harbor is the first airport in the world to have a train track high enough for aircraft to pass underneath , standing above Taxiway R at 100 feet ( 30 meters ) . Other projects ( edit ) Sky Harbor has initiated a three - component `` Terminal 3 Modernization Plan '' which is anticipated to accommodate the current carriers at Terminal 3 as well as carriers at Terminal 2 , which is to be phased out . Component 1 began in April 2015 , and consolidated the two undersized security checkpoints with a single large security checkpoint . Also included in this component are additional ticket counters , baggage carousels , upgrades to the HVAC system , and new interior and exterior finishes . This phase was completed in December 2016 . ( status : Complete ) Component 2 will demolish the existing South Concourse and replace it with a new 15-gate linear concourse , and will allow for the closure of Terminal 2. ( status : In - progress ) Component 3 will renovate the North Concourse , with expanded concessions and new interior and exterior finishes . ( status : Not started ) Eighth and final concourse at Terminal 4 to provide eight additional gates for Southwest Airlines to be completed by 2021 . $40 million in investments from Southwest Airlines to double its maintenance facilities as well as add an additional hangar . Sky Harbor 's southern-most runway ( 7R / 25L ) was fitted with three new safety features in October 2010 : Installation of runway status lights warning pilots of unsafe crossing . Two new runway exits . An extension of the runway 's safety area in the event an airplane over-runs the runway . On November 12 , 2013 , Phoenix City Council approved a $27 million project to renovate the international facilities in Terminal 4 . The renovation will increase the number of passengers that can be processed per hour from 600 to 800 + . Other enhancements will include : New stairs Faster and larger elevators Increased queuing space with a reconfigured primary processing queue and entry Enlargement of baggage carousels 12 automated Passport Control kiosks New queueing area for special screening Airline Lounges ( edit ) Terminal 2 : United Airlines United Club Terminal 3 : Delta Air Lines Sky Club ( opening late 2018 in new South Concourse ) Terminal 4 : American Airlines Admirals Club ( 3 locations -- Concourses A1 , A2 , and B1 ) The Club at PHX , used as a contract lounge for afternoon British Airways flights . Ground Transportation ( edit ) Sky Train Station on 44th Street Travelers can access East Economy Parking from the PHX Sky Train at Terminal 4 . Shuttle bus service connecting the terminals and the economy parking lots was discontinued when the Terminal 3 extension of the PHX Sky Train opened , however , the airport continues to provide shuttle bus service between the terminals and the rental car center with separate routes serving each terminal . Valley Metro bus route 13 serves all of the airport terminals as a link to the rest of the Valley Metro bus system . The Valley Metro Rail has a stop at the nearby 44th St / Washington light rail station . A moving sidewalk bridge over Washington Street allows light rail passengers to arrive at the nearby PHX Sky Train station and then onward to stations at the East Economy Parking Lot and Terminal 4 . Valley Metro bus routes 1 and 44 serve the PHX Sky Train station at 44th Street & Washington with route 3 stopping at the street corner near light rail . A number of taxi , limousine , and shuttle companies provide service between each airport terminal , the Phoenix metropolitan area , and other communities throughout the state . Accidents and incidents ( edit ) On June 27 , 1969 , N3150Y , a Cessna 182 Skylane , flying from Hawthorne Airport in Hawthorne , CA to Sky Harbor , hit the high - tension power lines east of the airport and crashed at 10 : 48 pm in the Salt River bed while attempting to land on Runway 26R , knocking out power to the airport and killing all three passengers on board . This incident has been the only fatal accident on airport property . Air National Guard base ( edit ) 161st Air Refueling Wing - KC - 135 Stratotankers The airport is also home to the 161st Air Refueling Wing ( 161 ARW ) , an Air Mobility Command ( AMC ) - gained unit of the Arizona Air National Guard . The military enclave is known as the Goldwater Air National Guard Base . One of two flying units in the Arizona ANG , the 161 ARW currently flies the KC - 135R Stratotanker aircraft . In addition to its domestic role as a National Guard unit , answering to the Governor of Arizona , the 161 ARW also performs both a stateside and overseas role as a USAF organization , supporting air refueling and air mobility missions worldwide . Located on the south side of the airport , the current Sky Harbor ANGB is a comparatively new facility . As a result of growth and on - going expansion programs at PHX , a new ANG base was planned at the airport to replace a smaller , outmoded facility that stood in the way of airport construction . Plans were approved in 1995 and the new base was built during the latter part of that decade . The current Sky Harbor ANGB includes over 275,000 square feet ( 25,500 m ) of facilities , pavement , and infrastructure and is one of the most modern facilities of its kind in the Air National Guard . Over 1000 Air National Guard personnel are assigned to the 161 ARW , consisting of a combination of full - time Active Guard and Reserve ( AGR ) and Air Reserve Technician ( ART ) personnel , as well as part - time `` traditional '' air national guardsmen . In popular culture ( edit ) The airport is part of the story in the movie Ground Control but many scenes involving an airport were recorded at California airports instead . Arizona band Jimmy Eat World released a song titled `` Goodbye Sky Harbor '' on their 1999 album Clarity .

For other uses , see Jack and the Beanstalk ( disambiguation ) . For the hero , see Jack ( hero ) . Jack and the Beanstalk Illustration by Arthur Rackham , 1918 , in English Fairy Tales by Flora Annie Steel Folk tale Name Jack and the Beanstalk Also known as Jack and the Giant man Data Aarne - Thompson grouping AT 328 ( `` The Treasures of the Giant '' ) Country England Published in Benjamin Tabart , The History of Jack and the Bean - Stalk ( 1807 ) Joseph Jacobs , English Fairy Tales ( 1890 ) Related Jack the Giant Killer `` Jack and the Beanstalk '' is an English fairy tale . It appeared as `` The Story of Jack Spriggins and the Enchanted Bean '' in 1734 and as Benjamin Tabart 's moralised `` The History of Jack and the Bean - Stalk '' in 1807 . Henry Cole , publishing under pen name Felix Summerly popularised the tale in The Home Treasury ( 1845 ) , and Joseph Jacobs rewrote it in English Fairy Tales ( 1890 ) . Jacobs ' version is most commonly reprinted today and it is believed to be closer to the oral versions than Tabart 's because it lacks the moralising . `` Jack and the Beanstalk '' is the best known of the `` Jack tales '' , a series of stories featuring the archetypal Cornish and English hero and stock character Jack . According to researchers at the universities in Durham and Lisbon , the story originated more than 5,000 years ago , based on a widespread archaic story form which is now classified by folklorists as ATU 328 The Boy Who Stole Ogre 's Treasure . Contents ( hide ) 1 Story 2 Origins 3 Analogies 4 Controversy 5 Film adaptations 6 Other adaptations 7 See also 8 References 9 External links Story ( edit ) Jack is a young , poor boy living with his widowed mother and a dairy cow , on a farm cottage , the cow 's milk was their only source of income . When the cow stops giving milk , Jack 's mother tells him to take her to the market to be sold . On the way , Jack meets a bean dealer who offers magic beans in exchange for the cow , and Jack makes the trade . When he arrives home without any money , his mother becomes angry and disenchanted , throws the beans on the ground , and sends Jack to bed without dinner . During the night , the magic beans cause a gigantic beanstalk to grow outside Jack 's window . The next morning , Jack climbs the beanstalk to a land high in the sky . He finds an enormous castle and sneaks in . Soon after , the castle 's owner , a giant , returns home . He senses that Jack is nearby by smell , and speaks a rhyme : Fee - fi - fo - fum ! I smell the blood of an English man : Be he alive , or be he dead , I 'll grind his bones to make my bread . In the versions in which the giant 's wife ( the giantess ) features , she persuades him that he is mistaken . When the giant falls asleep . Jack steals a bag of gold coins and makes his escape down the beanstalk . Jack climbs the beanstalk twice more . He learns of other treasures and steals them when the giant sleeps : first a goose that lays golden eggs , then a magic harp that plays by itself . The giant wakes when Jack leaves the house with the harp and chases Jack down the beanstalk . Jack calls to his mother for an axe and before the giant reaches the ground , cuts down the beanstalk , causing the giant to fall to his death . Jack and his mother live happily ever after with the riches that Jack acquired . Origins ( edit ) In Walter Crane 's woodcut the harp reaches out to cling to the vine `` The Story of Jack Spriggins and the Enchanted Bean '' was published in the 1734 second edition of Round About Our Coal - Fire . In 1807 , Benjamin Tabart published The History of Jack and the Bean Stalk , but the story is certainly older than these accounts . According to researchers at Durham University and the Universidade Nova de Lisboa , the story originated more than 5,000 years ago . In some versions of the tale , the giant is unnamed , but many plays based on it name him Blunderbore . ( One giant of that name appears in the 18th - century `` Jack the Giant Killer '' . ) In `` The Story of Jack Spriggins '' the giant is named Gogmagog . The giant 's cry `` Fee ! Fie ! Foe ! Fum ! I smell the blood of an Englishman '' appears in William Shakespeare 's early - 17th - century King Lear in the form `` Fie , foh , and fum , I smell the blood of a British man . '' ( Act 3 , Scene 4 ) , and something similar also appears in `` Jack the Giant Killer '' . Analogies ( edit ) `` Jack and the Beanstalk '' is an Aarne - Thompson tale - type 328 , The Treasures of the Giant , which includes the Italian `` Thirteenth '' and the French `` How the Dragon was Tricked '' tales . Christine Goldberg argues that the Aarne -- Thompson system is inadequate for the tale because the others do not include the beanstalk , which has analogies in other types ( a possible reference to the genre anomaly . ) The Brothers Grimm drew an analogy between this tale and a German fairy tale , `` The Devil With the Three Golden Hairs '' . The devil 's mother or grandmother acts much like the giant 's wife , a female figure protecting the child from the evil male figure . `` Jack and the Beanstalk '' is unusual in some versions in that the hero , although grown up , does not marry at the end but returns to his mother . In other versions he is said to have married a princess . This is found in few other tales , such as some variants of `` Vasilisa the Beautiful '' . Controversy ( edit ) The original story portrays a `` hero '' gaining the sympathy of a man 's wife , hiding in his house , robbing , and finally killing him . In Tabart 's moralised version , a fairy woman explains to Jack that the giant had robbed and killed his father justifying Jack 's actions as retribution . ( Andrew Lang follows this version in the Red Fairy Book of 1890 . ) Jacobs gave no justification because there was none in the version he had heard as a child and maintained that children know that robbery and murder are wrong without being told in a fairy tale , but did give a subtle retributive tone to it by making reference to the giant 's previous meals of stolen oxen and young children . Many modern interpretations have followed Tabart and made the giant a villain , terrorising smaller folk and stealing from them , so that Jack becomes a legitimate protagonist . For example , the 1952 film starring Abbott and Costello the giant is blamed for poverty at the foot of the beanstalk , as he has been stealing food and wealth and the hen that lays golden eggs originally belonged to Jack 's family . In other versions it is implied that the giant had stolen both the hen and the harp from Jack 's father . Brian Henson 's 2001 TV miniseries Jack and the Beanstalk : The Real Story not only abandons Tabart 's additions but vilifies Jack , reflecting Jim Henson 's disgust at Jack 's unscrupulous actions . Film adaptations ( edit ) Jack and the Beanstalk ( 1917 ) The first film adaptation was made in 1902 by Edwin S. Porter for the Edison Manufacturing Company . Walt Disney made a short of the same name in 1922 , and a separate adaptation titled Mickey and the Beanstalk in 1947 as part of Fun and Fancy Free . This adaptation of the story put Mickey Mouse in the role of Jack , accompanied by Donald Duck , and Goofy . Mickey , Donald , and Goofy live on a farm in `` Happy Valley '' , so called because it is always green and prosperous thanks to the magical singing from an enchanted golden harp in a castle , until one day it mysteriously disappears during a dark storm , resulting in the valley being plagued by a severe drought . Times become so hard for Mickey and his friends that soon they have nothing to eat except one loaf of bread . Mickey trades in the cow ( which Donald was going to kill for food ) for the magic beans . Donald throws the beans on the floor and down a knothole in a fit of rage , and the beanstalk sprouts that night , lifting the three of them into the sky while they sleep . In the magical kingdom , Mickey , Donald , and Goofy help themselves to a sumptuous feast . This rouses the ire of the giant ( named `` Willie '' in this version ) , who captures Donald and Goofy and locks them in a box , and it is up to Mickey to find the keys to unlock the box and rescue them as well as the harp which they also find in the giant 's possession . The film villainizes the giant by blaming Happy Valley 's hard times on Willy 's theft of the magic harp , without which song the land withers ; unlike the harp of the original tale , this magic harp wants to be rescued from the giant , and the hapless heroes return her to her rightful place and Happy Valley to its former glory . This version of the fairy tale was narrated ( as a segment of Fun and Fancy Free ) by Edgar Bergen , and later ( by itself as a short ) by Sterling Holloway . Walt Disney Animation Studios were to do another adaptation of the fairy tale called Gigantic . Tangled director Nathan Greno was to direct and it was set to be released in late 2020 , however , it was reported on October 10 , 2017 , that the studio had made the decision to cancel the film after struggling creatively with it . Warner Bros. adapted the story into three Merrie Melodies cartoons . Friz Freleng directed Jack - Wabbit and the Beanstalk ( 1943 ) , Chuck Jones directed Beanstalk Bunny ( 1955 ) , and Freleng directed Tweety and the Beanstalk ( 1957 ) . The 1952 Abbott and Costello adaptation was not the only time a comedy team was involved with the story . The Three Stooges had their own five - minute animated retelling , titled Three Jacks and a Beanstalk ( 1965 ) . In 1967 , Hanna - Barbera produced a live action version of Jack and the Beanstalk , with Gene Kelly as Jeremy the Peddler ( who trades his magic beans for Jack 's cow ) , Bobby Riha as Jack , Dick Beals as Jack 's singing voice , Ted Cassidy as the voice of the animated giant , Janet Waldo as the voice of the animated Princess Serena , Marni Nixon as Serena 's singing voice , and Marian McKnight as Jack 's mother . The songs were written by Sammy Cahn and Jimmy Van Heusen . Kelly also directed the Emmy Award - winning film . Gisaburo Sugii directed a feature - length anime telling of the story released in 1974 , titled Jack to Mame no Ki . The film , a musical , was produced by Group TAC and released by Nippon Herald . The writers introduced a few new characters , including Jack 's comic - relief dog , Crosby , and Margaret , a beautiful princess engaged to be married to the giant ( named `` Tulip '' in this version ) due to a spell being cast over her by the giant 's mother ( an evil witch called Madame Hecuba ) . Jack , however , develops a crush on Margaret , and one of his aims in returning to the magic kingdom is to rescue her . The film was dubbed into English , with legendary voice talent Billie Lou Watt voicing Jack , and received a very limited run in U.S. theaters in 1976 . It was later released on VHS ( now out of print ) and aired several times on HBO in the 1980s . However , it is now available on DVD with both English and Japanese dialogue . Michael Davis directed the 1994 adaptation , titled Beanstalk , starring J.D. Daniels as Jack and Stuart Pankin as the giant . The film was released by Moonbeam Entertainment , the children 's video division of Full Moon Entertainment . Wolves , Witches and Giants Episode 9 of Season 1 , Jack and the Beanstalk , broadcast on 19 October 1995 , has Jack 's mother chop down the beanstalk and the giant plummet through the earth to Australia . The hen that Jack has stolen fails to lay any eggs and ends up `` in the pot by Sunday '' , leaving Jack and his mother to live in reduced circumstances for the rest of their lives . The Jim Henson Company did a TV miniseries adaptation of the story as Jim Henson 's Jack and the Beanstalk : The Real Story ( directed by Brian Henson ) which reveals that Jack 's theft from the giant was completely unmotivated , with the giant Thunderdell ( played by Bill Barretta ) being a friendly , welcoming individual , and the giant 's subsequent death was caused by Jack 's mother cutting the beanstalk down rather than Jack himself . The film focuses on Jack 's modern - day descendant Jack Robinson ( played by Matthew Modine ) who learns the truth after the discovery of the giant 's bones and the last of the five magic beans , Jack subsequently returning the goose and harp to the giants ' kingdom . An episode of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse called Donald and the Beanstalk , Donald Duck accidentally swapped his pet chicken with Willie the Giant for a handful of magic beans . Avalon Family Entertainment 's film , titled Jack and the Beanstalk and released on home video April 20 , 2010 , is a low - budget live - action adaptation starring Christopher Lloyd , Chevy Chase , James Earl Jones , Gilbert Gottfried , Katey Sagal , Wallace Shawn and Chloë Grace Moretz . Jack is played by Colin Ford . The Warner Bros. film directed by Bryan Singer and starring Nicholas Hoult as Jack is titled Jack the Giant Slayer and was released in March 2013 . In this tale Jack climbs the beanstalk to save a princess . Warner Bros. Animation 's direct - to - DVD film Tom and Jerry 's Giant Adventure is set to be based on the fairy tale . In the 2014 film Into the Woods , and the musical of the same name , one of the main characters , Jack ( Daniel Huttlestone ) climbs a beanstalk , much like in the original version . He acquires a golden harp , a goose that lays golden eggs , and several gold pieces . The story goes on as it does in the original fairy tale , but continues afterwards showing what happens after you get your happy ending . In this adaptation , the giant 's vengeful wife ( Frances de la Tour ) attacks the kingdom to find and kill Jack as revenge for him murdering her husband where some characters were killed during her rampage . The giant 's wife is eventually killed by the surviving characters in the story . Other adaptations ( edit ) The story is the basis of the similarly titled traditional British pantomime , wherein the Giant is certainly a villain , Jack 's mother the Dame , and Jack the Principal Boy . Jack of Jack and the Beanstalk is the protagonist of the comic book Jack of Fables , a spin - off of Fables , which also features other elements from the story , such as giant beanstalks and giants living in the clouds . Gilligan 's Island did a adaptation / dream sequence in which Gilligan tries to take oranges from a giant Skipper and fails ; ( the part of the little Gilligan chased by the giant was played by Bob Denver 's 7 year old son Patrick Denver ) Roald Dahl rewrote the story in a more modern and gruesome way in his book Revolting Rhymes ( 1982 ) , where Jack initially refuses to climb the beanstalk and his mother is thus eaten when she ascends to pick the golden leaves at the top , with Jack recovering the leaves himself after having a thorough wash so that the giant can not smell him . The story of Jack and the Beanstalk is also referenced in Dahl 's The BFG , in which the evil giants are all afraid of the `` giant - killer '' Jack , who is said to kill giants with his fearsome beanstalk ( although none of the giants appear to know how Jack uses it against them , the context of a nightmare one of the giants has about Jack suggesting that they think he wields the beanstalk as a weapon ) . James Still published Jack and the Wonder Beans ( 1977 , republished 1996 ) an Appalachian variation on the Jack and the Beanstalk tale . Jack trades his old cow to a gypsy for three beans that are guaranteed to feed him for his entire life . It has been adapted as a play for performance by children . In 1973 the story was adapted , as The Goodies and the Beanstalk , by the BBC television series The Goodies . An arcade video game , Jack the Giantkiller , was released by Cinematronics in 1982 and is based on the story . Players control Jack , and must retrieve a series of treasures -- a harp , a sack of gold coins , a golden goose and a princess -- and eventually defeat the giant by chopping down the beanstalk . An episode of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show ! , entitled `` Mario and the Beanstalk '' , does a retelling with Bowser as the giant ( there is no explanation as to how he becomes a giant ) . In The Magic School Bus episode `` Gets Planted '' , the class put on a school production of Jack and the Beanstalk , with Phoebe starring as the beanstalk after Ms. Frizzle turned her into a bean plant . Jack and Beanstalk was featured in Happily Ever After : Fairy Tales for Every Child where Jack is voiced by Wayne Collins and the giant is voiced by Tone Loc . The story is in an African - American style . Stephen Sondheim 's musical Into the Woods ( and the film of the same name ) , features Jack , originally portrayed by Ben Wright , along with several other fairy tale characters . In the second half of the musical , the giant 's wife climbs down a second beanstalk to exact revenge for her husband 's death , furious at Jack 's betrayal of her hospitality . She is eventually killed as well . Bart Simpson plays the role of the main character in a Simpsons video game `` The Simpsons : Bart & the Beanstalk '' . ABC 's Once Upon a Time debuts their spin on the tale in the episode `` Tiny '' of season two , where Jack , now a female named Jacqueline ( known as Jack ) is played by Cassidy Freeman and the giant named Anton is played by Jorge Garcia . In this adaptation , Jack is portrayed as a villainous character . The story was adapted in 2012 by software maker Net Entertainment and made into a slot machine game . Mark Knopfler sang a song , `` After the Beanstalk '' , in his 2012 album Privateering . Snips , Snails , and Dragon Tails , an Order of the Stick print book , contains an adaptation in the Sticktales section . Elan is Jack , Roy is the giant , Belkar is the golden goose , and Vaarsuvius is the wizard who sells the beans . Haley also appears as an agent sent to steal the golden goose , and Durkin as a dwarf neighbor with the comic 's stereotypical fear of tall plants . In the Season 3 premiere episode of Barney and Friends titled `` Shawn and the Beanstalk '' , Barney the Dinosaur and the gang tell their version of Jack and the Beanstalk which was all told in rhyme . In the animated movie Puss in Boots , the classic theme appears again . The magic beans play a central role in that movie , culminating in the scene , in which Puss , Kitty and Humpty ride a magic beanstalk to find the giant 's castle . In a Happy Tree Friends episode called `` Dunce Upon a Time '' , there was a strong resemblance as Giggles played a Jack - like role and Lumpy played a giant - like role . The story appears in the 2017 commercial for the British breakfast cereal Weetabix , where the giant is scared off by an English boy who has had a bowl of Weetabix . A children 's picture book , What Jill Did While Jack Climbed the Beanstalk , was published in 2016 by Sproodle Doodle Books . It takes place at the same time as Jack 's adventure , but it tells the story of what his sister encounters when she ventures out to help the family and neighbors .

Contents ( hide ) 1 Plot 2 Cast 3 Production 3.1 Development 3.2 Technical 4 Reception 4.1 Box office 4.2 Critical reception 5 Music 5.1 The Original Score 6 References 7 External links Plot ( edit ) This film 's story occurs sometime after Fast & Furious 6 with a scene that was later made concurrent with events in Furious 7 . In Oro Valley , Arizona , high school students Sean Boswell and Clay race their cars to win the affections of Clay 's girlfriend Cindy . When Sean cuts through a structure and catches up to Clay , Clay hits Sean 's car repeatedly until they reach a high - speed turn , which causes both cars to crash ; Sean 's car is totaled . Clay and Cindy 's wealthy families help them escape punishment , but Sean is sent to live in Tokyo with his father , a U.S. Navy officer , in order to avoid juvenile detention or jail . While in Tokyo , Sean befriends Twinkie , a military brat who introduces him to the world of drift racing in Japan . Sean has a confrontation with Takashi -- the Drift King ( DK ) -- over Sean talking to Takashi 's girlfriend , Neela . Though forbidden to drive , Sean decides to race against Takashi , who has ties to the Yakuza . He borrows a Nissan Silvia from Han Lue , now a business partner to Takashi , and loses , totaling the car due to his inability to drift . To repay his debt for the car he destroyed , Sean agrees to work for Han . This leads to the duo becoming friends , with Han agreeing to teach Sean how to drift . Han also loans him another car for future races , explaining that he is helping him as Sean is the only person willing to stand up to Takashi . Sean moves in with Han and soon masters drifting , gaining some clout after defeating DK 's right - hand man , Morimoto . Sean soon asks Neela out on a date , and learns that after her mother died , she moved in with Takashi 's grandmother , which resulted in their relationship . Takashi beats up Sean the next day , telling him to stay away from Neela ; Neela subsequently leaves Takashi and moves in with Sean and Han . Takashi 's uncle Kamata , the head of the Yakuza , reprimands Takashi for allowing Han to steal from him . Takashi and Morimoto confront Han , Sean , and Neela about the thefts . Twinkie causes a distraction , allowing Han , Sean , and Neela to flee , who are then pursued by Takashi and Morimoto . During the chase , Morimoto is killed in a crash , leaving Takashi to pursue the trio on his own . Han allows Sean to overtake him in order to hold Takashi off , but the chase ends when Sean and Neela crash . Meanwhile , moments after escaping from Takashi , Han is critically injured when his Mazda RX - 7 is rammed by another car . Han 's car explodes , killing him just seconds before Sean has a chance to save him . Takashi , Sean , and his father become involved in an armed standoff which is resolved by Neela agreeing to leave with Takashi . Twinkie gives his money to Sean to replace the money Han stole , which Sean then returns to Kamata . Sean proposes a race against Takashi , with the loser having to leave Tokyo . Kamata agrees to the challenge , but on the condition that the race take place on DK 's mountain . With all of Han 's cars impounded , Sean and Han 's friends then rebuild a 1967 Ford Mustang that Sean 's father was working on , with a Nissan Skyline engine salvaged from Han 's Silvia that was totaled by Sean in his first drift race , and other spare parts . That night , on the mountain , crowds gather to see the race ; Takashi takes the lead initially , but Sean 's training allows him to catch up . Determined to win , Takashi resorts to ramming Sean 's car , eventually missing and driving off the mountain while Sean crosses the finish line . Kamata keeps his word , and lets Sean remain in Tokyo and is now christened the new Drift King . The next night , Sean is challenged by and races Dominic Toretto who claims Han was family .

Production ( edit ) Development ( edit ) `` After I 'd seen Better Luck Tomorrow , I knew Justin was a director I wanted to do business with . He was the first we approached , and he loved the idea of filming it . This movie needed enthusiasm , and he was the director to do it . '' Neal H. Moritz Neal H. Moritz , who had produced the two previous installments , began working on the film in 2005 . On June 8 , 2005 , Moritz hired Justin Lin to direct The Fast and the Furious : Tokyo Drift . Lin , who was n't intimately familiar with drifting when he was approached to helm the project , recalled : `` I was in film school when The Fast and the Furious came out , and I saw it along with a sold - out crowd who just ate it up . What really excited me about directing this film was the chance to harness that energy -- create a whole new chapter and up the ante by bringing something new to the table for the audience who loves action and speed . '' Vin Diesel agreed to make a cameo in the film in exchange for Universal 's ownership to rights of the Riddick series and character , in lieu of financial payment . Technical ( edit ) The Nissan Silvia which Sean trashes in his first race in Japan is depicted as having an RB26DETT engine swap which itself is donated to the Ford Mustang . However , the car in the movie was actually powered by the Silvia 's original engine . The Veilside body - kitted Mazda RX - 7 driven by Han was originally built by Veilside for the 2005 Tokyo Auto Salon , but was later bought by Universal and repainted from dark red , to orange and black , for use in the movie . The car in which Dominic appears in at the end of the film is a highly customized 1970 Plymouth Satellite , which was built for the SEMA show . SCC tested the cars of the film , and noted that the cars in Tokyo Drift were slightly faster in an acceleration match up with the cars from 2 Fast 2 Furious . Notable drifting personalities Keiichi Tsuchiya , Rhys Millen and Samuel Hubinette were consulted and employed by the movie to provide and execute the drifting and driving stunts in the film . Tanner Foust , Rich Rutherford , Calvin Wan and Alex Pfeiffer were also brought in as none of Universal 's own stunt drivers could drift . Some racing events were filmed within the Hawthorne Mall parking lot in Los Angeles , as filming in Tokyo required permits the studio was unable to obtain . They instead used street lights and multiple props to help recreate Tokyo . Toshi Hayama was also brought in to keep elements of the film portrayed correctly , who was contacted by Roger Fan , an old high school friend who starred in Lin 's Better Luck Tomorrow . Hayama ensured certain references were deployed correctly , such as the usage of nitrous oxide in straights but not in turns , and keeping the usage of references from sponsors to a minimum . One of Kamata 's henchman has missing fingers , a punishment typically deployed by the Yakuza . He had to have the missing fingers digitally added in to appease cultural concerns . Reception ( edit ) Box Office ( edit ) Tokyo Drift brought in over $24 million on its opening weekend . The film itself was in limited release in Japan ( released under the name Wild Speed 3 ) . The US box office was $62.5 million , and it grossed another $95,953,877 internationally , resulting in total receipts of $158.5 million . Critical reception ( edit ) The Fast and the Furious : Tokyo Drift gained a 37 % approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on reviews from 113 critics ; the average rating is 4.8 / 10 . The site 's consensus reads : `` Eye - popping driving sequences coupled with a limp story and flat performances make this Drift an adequate follow - up to the previous Fast and Furious installments . Strictly for the racing crowd and fans of the first two films . '' On Metacritic , which determines a normalized rating out of 100 from mainstream critics , the film received a score of 46 out of 100 based on reviews from 31 critics meaning `` mixed or average reviews . '' Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun - Times praised the film , giving it three out of four stars , saying that director Justin Lin `` takes an established franchise and makes it surprisingly fresh and intriguing , '' adding that Tokyo Drift is `` more observant than we expect '' and that `` the story ( is ) about something more than fast cars '' . Michael Sragow of The Baltimore Sun felt that `` the opening half - hour may prove to be a disreputable classic of pedal - to - the - metal filmmaking . '' Kirk Honeycutt of The Hollywood Reporter said that `` it 's not much of a movie , but a hell of a ride '' . Michael Medved gave Tokyo Drift one and a half stars out of four , saying : `` There 's no discernible plot ( ... ) or emotion or humor . '' James Berardinelli from ReelViews also gave it one and a half stars out of four , saying : `` I expect a racing film to be derivative . That goes with the territory . No one is seeing a Fast and the Furious movie for the plot . When it comes to eye candy , the film is on solid ground -- it offers plenty of babes and cars ( with the latter being more lovingly photographed than the former ) . However , it is unacceptable that the movie 's action scenes ( races and chases ) are boring and incoherent . If the movie ca n't deliver on its most important asset , what 's the point ? '' Richard Roeper strongly criticized the film , saying , `` The whole thing is preposterous . The acting is so awful , some of the worst performances I 've seen in a long , long time . '' Similarly , Peter Travers of Rolling Stone said that Tokyo Drift `` suffers from blurred vision , motor drag and a plot that 's running on fumes . Look out for a star cameo -- it 's the only surprise you 'll get from this heap . '' Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle said : `` ( The main character ) has no plan and no direction , just a blind desire to smash up automobiles and steal a mobster 's girlfriend . ( ... ) As for the racing scenes , who cares about the finesse move of drifting , compared to going fast ? And who wants to watch guys race in a parking lot ? For that matter , who wants to watch guys race down a mountain , with lots of turns ? '' Rob Cohen , who directed the first film of the series , was very critical of this film , saying : `` If you were to just watch Tokyo Drift , you 'd say ' I never want to see anything related to Fast & Furious again .

It was the home of the Philadelphia Athletics of the American League ( AL ) and the Philadelphia Phillies of the National League ( NL ) . When it opened April 12 , 1909 , it became baseball 's first steel - and - concrete stadium . In different eras it was home to `` The $100,000 Infield '' , `` The Whiz Kids '' , and `` The 1964 Phold '' . The venue 's two home teams won both the first and last games at the stadium : the Athletics beat the Boston Red Sox 8 -- 1 on opening day 1909 , while the Phillies beat the Montreal Expos 2 -- 1 on October 1 , 1970 , in the park 's final contest . Shibe Park stood on the block bounded by Lehigh Avenue , 20th Street , Somerset Street and 21st Street . It was five blocks west , corner - to - corner , from the Baker Bowl , the Phillies ' home from 1887 to 1938 . The stadium hosted eight World Series and two MLB All - Star Games , in 1943 and 1952 , with the latter game holding the distinction of being the only All - Star contest shortened by rain ( to five innings ) . In May 1939 , it was the site of the first night game played in the American League . Phillies Hall - of - Fame centerfielder and longtime broadcaster Richie Ashburn remembered Shibe Park : `` It looked like a ballpark . It smelled like a ballpark . It had a feeling and a heartbeat , a personality that was all baseball . '' Contents 1 History 1.1 1907 : Design and construction 1.2 April 1909 : `` Play ball !

Somerset St. at left ; 20th St homes at right . The A 's prevailed over Boston , 8 -- 1 1907 : design and construction ( edit ) In the early years of the 20th century , baseball was popular enough in Philadelphia that Philadelphia Athletics president Ben Shibe found his team regularly turning away customers from their cramped Columbia Park ballpark even though it was just a few years old . When as many as 28,000 showed up to fill the 9,500 wooden bleacher seats , Shibe and partner Connie Mack decided the A 's needed a new place to play . He searched for a site for his new park and found one on Lehigh Avenue between 20th and 21st Streets , five blocks west of Baker Bowl , straddling the neighborhoods known as Swampoodle and Goosetown . It was still primitive at the time , an area of `` high clay bluffs , rain - washed gullies , quagmires , open fields , even ponds '' where chickens pecked and pigs rooted . Although a grid of streets was planned for the area , few actually existed . The area was already served by public transportation : trolleys ran up and down Broad Street and back and forth along Lehigh , and both the Pennsylvania and the Reading railroads had major stations nearby . The area had `` underachieved '' thus far due to the presence of the city 's Hospital for Contagious Diseases ( the `` smallpox hospital '' ) a block west on Lehigh , but Shibe 's privileged connections in town brought him word that the city would be closing the facility . Without the hospital , the area 's stigma would eventually dissipate , but at the time , the land was still a bargain . Shibe quietly assembled title to his square block of land early in 1907 , picking up parcels `` through a complicated series of acquisitions , preventing price inflation by masking his intentions , '' even using straw buyers to keep his name out of the dealings . He spent a total of $67,500 ( $1.84 million in 2017 dollars ) on seven land packages totaling 5.75 acres , and in February 1908 , he arranged to have two projected streets running through his block dropped from the city plan . For the design and its execution , Shibe hired William Steele and Sons . Their engineering staff had worked with the new technology of steel - reinforced concrete , and designed and built the city 's first skyscraper , the Witherspoon Building at Walnut and Juniper Streets . The Steele design for the Shibe façade was in the ornate French Renaissance style , including arches , vaultings , and Ionic pilasters . The grandstand walls were to be of red brick and terra cotta and featured elaborate decorative friezes with baseball motifs , while cartouches framed the Athletics ' `` A '' logo at regular intervals above the entrances . The souvenir program on Opening Day called it `` a fetching combination of color . '' Gabled dormer windows on the upper deck 's copper - trimmed green - slate mansard roof looked out over the streets below . Presiding over all were terra cotta busts of Shibe and Mack above the main entrances on Lehigh and 21st . Messrs. Shibe and Mack are top - billed on 1909 A 's yearbook The signature feature of the exterior design was the octangular tower on the southwest corner . The upper floors would accommodate the A 's offices , those of Shibe 's sons Jack and Tom , who ran the day - to - day business aspects of the team , and the domed cupola on the very top were to house the office of Connie Mack , manager of the team 's baseball operations . On the ground floor was a main entrance lobby . Bobby Shantz , pitcher for the A 's in their last years at Shibe , wrote that the corner tower entrance `` looked almost like a church . '' Shibe was proud of the egalitarianism of the design ; he said it was `` for the masses as well as the classes . '' In April 1908 , design in hand , the Shibes and the Steeles broke ground . With the resources of the Steele firm , construction was speedy , efficient and completed in time to open the 1909 season . The city was excited about its new ballpark -- the Philadelphia Public Ledger called it `` a palace for fans , the most beautiful and capacious baseball structure in the world . '' American League president Ban Johnson pronounced that `` Shibe Park is the greatest place of its character in the world . '' In more recent times , baseball author David M. Jordan wrote that it was `` a splendid forerunner of others like it ... Ben Shibe and the Steeles initiated ' the golden age of ballparks ' . '' The original 1909 configuration was a double - deck grandstand in the southwest corner of the block , with open pavilion seating extending to the foul poles . The outfield was a large rectangle , surrounded by a 12 - foot brick wall that bordered the streets . The deepest part of center field was a square corner 515 feet from home plate . It was 378 to the left field foul marker , and 340 to right field . The slight upslope of the land from south to north was reflected in a small `` terrace '' that ran across left and center field . The upper deck was built of wood mounted on steel girders , while the lower deck was built of concrete and steel . The only link with the Columbia Park was the transplanted sod , rolled out at the new venue . The 1909 seating capacity certainly was an upgrade from Columbia Park : 11,000 in the double deck and 12,000 in the two pavilions , for a total of 23,000 . Overflow crowds were accommodated by roping off the left field area in front of the wall . Some 500 tons of steel went into the construction . April 1909 : `` play ball ! '' ( edit ) On Monday , April 12 , 1909 , the Opening Day proceedings walked a fine line between festival and chaos . More than 30,000 fans showed up and got in ; another 15,000 showed up and were turned away . Nervous officials closed the gates hours before game time , turning the outsiders into a `` howling mob of thousands '' whose pressure forced open one of the gates . Hundreds poured in without paying admission , and an estimated 7,000 standing - room only spectators saw that first game ringing the outfield up to seven - deep , held back by a rope stretched between the left field seats and the right field bleacher . Another 6,000 more looked in from various rooftops around the block . `` It seemed as if all of Philadelphia was there '' , wrote the Public Ledger . Mayor John E. Reyburn called the new facility a `` pride to the city '' and threw out the first ball . The A 's beat the Boston Red Sox that day , 8 -- 1 . 1910 brought the first World Series -- and rooftop bleachers across 20th St. from the park , a 25 - year dispute between neighbors The Athletics and their new stadium were a hit : the A 's won pennants -- and brought World Series to town -- in 1910 and 1911 , and by 1913 , when they would win another , Shibe initiated the first of the expansions of seating capacity that would continue right on through the 1950s . He called again upon the Steele company and added a new unroofed bleacher section across left field , taking advantage of the site 's rectangular , rather than square , shape , and also added roof structures to cover the open pavilions down the first base and third base lines . After Ben Shibe 's death in 1922 , sons Tom and Jack represented the Shibe interest in the team and in 1925 they replaced the 1913 open left field bleachers with a double - deck that extended from the foul pole to the center field corner . This construction covered the `` terrace '' except in the deepest part of center field which still had a slight upslope . They also extended the upper deck out over the pavilions . These expansions resulted in another 10,000 seats . In 1928 , the brothers installed a mezzanine that added 750 pricey box seats and the following year they raised the original grandstand roof and installed a press box underneath it , along with 3,500 more seats . A 's manager half a century , Mack wore a suit and starched collar , never his team 's uniform For the 1923 season , Connie Mack had moved the infield back an estimated 21 feet . This was a choice of speed over power , as moving the plate back increased left field and right field dimensions by 15 feet each . Home runs dropped about 50 % for the next three seasons . The Shibe brothers moved it back to its original position , resulting in field dimensions of 331 feet to right field , 334 to left , and 468 to the square corner in center . In 1936 , A 's President Tom Shibe died , and Connie Mack succeeded in gaining control of the team by buying out Tom Shibe 's share from his widow . The move made the Mack family the controlling partner in 1937 , though various Shibe family members still had `` considerable holdings '' in the team . More renovation -- and a round of controversy -- came after the 1938 season when Mack sought to install light towers for night play , which local residents were against . They objected in general to the light , noise and traffic that night games would bring to the neighborhood , and objected specifically to the danger of home run balls hitting them as they sat on their porches and to the ability of fans in the upper decks to peer into their bedrooms at night . The matter went to court , and Mack hired a young Philadelphia lawyer to plead his case . The presentation of young Richardson Dilworth , future mayor of the city , carried the day : the A 's won the case and the light towers went up in time for the 1939 season . The first night game in the AL was at Shibe Park on May 16 , 1939 : the Indians beat the A 's , 8 -- 3 . The stadium 's third World Series in 1913 coincided with Shibe 's first major upgrade and expansion : more seats , more roofs In 1941 , Mack installed a new , larger scoreboard in deep right - center field , replacing the small board that had been in the same general area , and about the same time an imposing sign went up on the left field fence with the fan - friendly message : `` Warning : Persons throwing bottles or other missiles will be arrested and prosecuted . '' A few years later , he would further add a tunnel between the visitors ' clubhouse and their dugout to avoid confrontations with belligerent hometown fans , who were often not afraid to pick a fight . After the war , the Macks wanted to expand the seating capacity again , in a park that was running out of room to expand into . In 1949 , they proposed erecting the ultimate spite fence : a new double - deck seating section in right field that would boost the park 's capacity to 50,000 . The problem was that the home plate - to - right field axis was the shorter dimension of the Shibe block rectangle , and since the new stand could not intrude into the play area , its fascia would have to be in the plane of the existing right field fence while its hindquarters would have to protrude out back , dangling some 15 feet above the west sidewalk of North 20th Street and forming a covered arcade walkway . The $2.5 - million proposal galvanized the 20th Street neighbors against the A 's again , and this time the legal team could not overcome the zoning issues . The Macks did spend $300,000 on renovations in 1949 and managed to shoehorn 2,500 more box seats in ; the old lower deck pavilion seating was reconstructed to turn the more distant seats toward the diamond instead of facing the outfield . This resulted in the high corners that were a noticeable feature of the ballpark during its final two decades , the corners being just far enough away from the foul lines to accommodate the bullpens . They also added an `` annunciator '' on the upper deck beyond third base that flashed the at - bat number ; ball - strike - out count ; hit or error ; and score . 1935 : the `` spite fence '' ( edit ) Across 20th Street from Shibe : above , in 1913 with rooftop bleachers ; below , 2011 At the park 's beginning , homeowners on both Somerset Street and 20th Street had a great view of the proceedings within , thanks to the low outfield fences . While this changed for the people on Somerset in 1913 when Shibe added the left field bleacher section and blocked the view from that direction , it was still a clear shot in from 20th Street over the low , 12 - foot wall in right . The view from the roofs , the bedroom bay windows , and even the porch roofs on 20th was as good as from some of the seats inside the park : Pathé News , Universal Newsreel and Fox Movietone News even set up cameras at 2739 North 20th as part of their World Series coverage . The numbers involved in this cottage industry were considerable : a rooftop bleacher could hold up to 80 people , with 18 more in the bay window of the front bedroom and more even on the porch roof . Viewers on the block could number up to several thousand for important games . Housewives served up refreshments for sale and children scurried to the hot dog vendors on the street , bought dogs for a nickel , and brought them back to sell for a dime . With so much money on the line , the business got organized and formalized very quickly ; homeowners were soon squeezed for bribes by city amusement tax collectors , and city police collected commissions for collaring and herding fans from the sidewalk into particular homes . By 1929 , the extra income from the rooftop bleachers actually caused real estate values to climb on the 2700 block of N. 20th Street . As long as the A 's were winning games and filling the park , the 20th Street entrepreneurs were annoying , but little more , to Mack and the Shibes , but that changed in the early 1930s . Starting in 1932 , Mack 's sell - off of his Second Dynasty stars , combined with general Great Depression hard times , sent attendance plummeting . 20th Streeters , accustomed to the income but now suffering from the tough economy like everyone else , sent reps to the lines -- such as they were -- at the park box office to offer discount seats and poach customers from the ball club . This was the last straw for Jack Shibe . In the winter of 1934 -- 35 , he ordered the fence raised to 34 feet . While the fence - raising was Jack Shibe 's idea , it became generally known as `` Connie Mack 's Spite Fence . '' It not only limited the view from the street , but the unattractive corrugated metal structure curtailed much of the goodwill the team had had with its neighbors , goodwill that would never return . Just five blocks -- but a whole generation -- apart . Baker Bowl ( upper right ) was one of the last of the rickety wooden parks , while concrete - and - steel Shibe Park ( foreground ) set the bar for those to come . Looking east along Lehigh Avenue , 1929 It also frustrated many Philadelphia players , both offensively and defensively . Among them , A 's and Phillies outfielder Elmer Valo and Phillies right fielder Johnny Callison , both lefthanded batters , complained that the high right - field fence cost them many home runs . It dogged them when they played the field , too : its rippling corrugations made caroms unpredictable , with some balls dropping straight down , others bounding all the way back to second base and some bouncing radically to one side or another , sometimes into the bullpen . It was `` one of the hardest '' walls to play in the majors . 1938 -- 1954 : new tenant , new name , new owner ( edit ) For several years , the National League Phillies had been trying to escape their dilapidated home , Baker Bowl , and move to Shibe Park as tenants of the A 's . However , it took them until mid-season 1938 before they were able to get out of their lease and move the five blocks west on Lehigh to Shibe Park . The Phillies ' arrangement with Connie Mack was simple : they would pay 10 cents a head `` rent '' for the fans they drew and would hire and pay their own stadium staff on game days . While moving to Shibe likely saved the Phillies from extinction , having two teams play in the park complicated the scheduling enormously . Any impact of the extra income from the Phillies was blunted by the fact that the crowded baseball schedule virtually precluded any other events throughout the summer -- so the new tenant 's income actually affected the A 's bottom line very little . The Phillies ' tenure at Shibe Park began with a split doubleheader against Boston on July 4 that year , and they finished the season last in the league , 241⁄2 games behind the seventh place Brooklyn Dodgers and 43 games back overall . Mack was already 75 years old in 1938 when the Phils arrived , yet his creaky tenure still had twelve more difficult years to go 21st and Lehigh was one of the gloomiest addresses in baseball in the late 1930s and early 1940s . At the time , both Philadelphia teams were in the midst of long stretches of futility . The Phillies had notched only one winning season since 1918 , while the A 's had not had a winning season since 1933 . Both teams finished last in their respective leagues in 1938 , 1940 , 1941 , 1942 and 1945 . Making things worse was that Phillies owner Gerald Nugent was mired in debt to both Mack and the National League , and other NL owners were grumbling about the dismal `` gates '' that their Philly trips earned them . In 1943 Nugent agreed in principle to sell the Phillies to Bill Veeck , only to have that sale derailed by Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis 's objections to Veeck 's plans to stock the Phillies with Negro League stars . The league took over the franchise and sold it to lumber baron William Cox , who paid off Mack and put money down on future rent . While the flamboyant Cox did pour money into the team in an effort to turn it around , he also abraded fans , his own players , fellow owners and Landis . The uproar did not last long , though : when Cox was found to be betting on Phillies games , Landis banned him for life in short order . Cox then sold the Phillies to DuPont vice president R.R.M. Carpenter , who gave the club presidency to his son , Bob , Jr. -- a wealthy 28 - year - old Delawarean whose mother was a DuPont and who himself was part - owner with Connie Mack of the Wilmington Blue Rocks minor league team . The genial young millionaire admitted at his first press conference that he was short on experience , but added , `` But I 'm not worried . I think we can all have a good time . '' Carpenter slowly pulled the team out of its `` dime store '' way of doing business and invested major funds in the farm system , hired marketing consultants and investigated strategies for selling more tickets . He upgraded his staff with professional administrators who modernized operations at the same time he was spending time in Mr. Mack 's plush tower office getting guidance from The Grand Old Man of Baseball . The result was an upsurge in attendance , including the city 's first million - fan season in 1946 , and the 1950 `` Whiz Kids '' team , who brought the NL pennant to Philadelphia for the first time in 35 years . 1950 : Watershed year for the A 's and Phils The 1950 Whiz Kids won the lone Phillies pennant at 21st and Lehigh , which coincided with Connie Mack 's swansong season as Athletics ' manager But as the Phillies improved the quality of baseball life in Philadelphia , there was a simultaneous decline in the fortunes of the A 's -- in the team , in the owner , and in the ballpark . Mack had alienated many fans in 1915 and again in 1932 when he sold off his pennant - winning teams for cash , and his clashes with his neighbors over the spite fence , the night games and the 20th Street overhang sparked ill - will between the team and its most important asset : its fan base . The Phillies began to outdraw the A 's , whose bottom - feeder status in the American League contributed to the vicious circle of bad teams and empty seats . There was also a precipitous decline in the boss himself . 1950 marked Mack 's 50th year in Philadelphia and his 87th birthday , and for the better part of a decade it had been obvious he was going senile . He would spend most games asleep in the dugout , leaving game strategy in the hands of his coaches . Whenever he was awake , he often made strange calls that the players and coaches usually disregarded . He would also call for players from decades earlier to pinch - hit ; in the 1940s it was not uncommon for him to yell `` Baker ! '' or `` Foxx ! '' -- sluggers he had sold off decades before . Most ominous of all , the crowds at Shibe Park were so small that the other AL teams could not even begin to cover their travel expenses , leading the other owners to complain that the gates at Shibe Park were too small to justify the trip . Despite this , the A 's managed to awaken from their slumber and tally three straight winning seasons from 1947 to 1949 . This led to hopes that the A 's would give `` The Grand Old Man of Baseball '' the perfect 50th anniversary present -- a pennant . However , the 1950 season was an unmitigated disaster . By May 26 , they were 11 - 21 , their season all but finished . On that date , Mack 's sons Roy and Earle gently pushed their father into announcing his retirement at the end of the season . The power vacuum in the wake of `` Mr. Baseball 's '' exit only worsened the problems , however . Roy and Earle Mack , `` undistinguished men living in the shadow of their father , '' were products of Mack 's first marriage ; their half - brother Connie , Jr. -- 20 years their junior -- came from his second . As the family factions squared off to battle for control of the A 's , Junior and his mother joined forces with remnants of the Shibe family , who still owned 40 % of the stock , while Roy and Earle shelved their years of squabbles to present a united front against what they derisively called `` the Shibe faction . '' To raise cash for the coming internecine struggle , Roy and Earle made all the wrong decisions : they remortgaged the ballpark at a time when their cashflow was uncertain , and they jeopardized that flow even more by leasing the park concessions to an outside food service corporation . In 1954 at Shibe Park , a dollar bought a hot dog , a soda , a pack of cigarettes , popcorn , and a megaphone , with a dime change In short order , the brothers had acquired huge excess debt and lost their best income sources to repay it . They managed to buy out Junior , the second Mrs. Mack and the remaining Shibes late in 1950 . However , they made what was one of the worst of several bad business decisions by mortgaging the team and pledging Shibe Park as collateral -- thus saddling the A 's with hefty mortgage payments that could have been spent on improving the team and the park . The business the brothers had gained control of was a doomed enterprise . And the moment they got control of it , they resumed battling each other . Despite undeniable signs of deterioration , it would be a few more years before the operation collapsed entirely . In the meantime , the Macks tried to capitalize on the remaining vestiges of affection in the city for their father , who turned 90 years old in December 1952 . They opened the nostalgic Elephant Room , filled with memorabilia from the old glory days , under the first base grandstand . They renamed the park Connie Mack Stadium in February 1953 for the opening of the 1953 season , hanging a new metal plate over the old SHIBE PARK inscription , which was `` still written in stone '' beneath . Many old - timers refused to acknowledge the change . The Macks ' bad business decisions finally caught up with them in 1954 . While Roy had hoped to keep the team , Earle wanted out , and the meager attendance figures were hard to argue with . The A 's business plan required attendance of 550,000 to break even . However , in 1954 they drew just 305,000 . An embarrassing `` Save the A 's '' committee formed to help , and it published the daily figure of turnout needed to stay out of the red , but the turnstile count remained flat while the published number grew each day and the committee collapsed in the stretch run . Even Mayor Joe Clark hurt the effort : he admitted he was a Phillies fan . The A 's finished 1954 dead last in the majors , 60 games out of first ; their final game at Shibe drew only 1,715 fans . In early August , Chicago businessman Arnold Johnson stepped forward with a complicated $3.375 million plan to buy the Athletics and move them to Kansas City . He owned Blues Stadium , home to the New York Yankees ' top minor - league affiliate , but intended to sell it to the city for upgrading to major league standards . Roy , Earle and Connie Mack , Sr. would get about $1.5 million , plus Johnson would pay off the remaining mortgage and assume the $400,000 -- $800,000 debt to the concessionaires . Very little of Johnson 's own cash would be involved : the deal depended on real estate and the eagerness of the Kansas City town fathers to take on debt to snag a major league franchise . The fly in the ointment was Connie Mack Stadium . The plan assumed a $1.5 million cash infusion from Bob Carpenter to buy the old ballpark , and he was anything but enthusiastic about it . `` We need that ballpark as much as we need a hole in the head '' , he said . Carpenter estimated that modernizing the place would cost a million dollars , and even at that it would be impossible to enlarge the seating capacity . He also recognized the growing parking problem , as well as the declining affluence of the neighborhood . He tried to pass on the purchase , reminding Johnson that he had a lease until 1957 . Johnson responded by threatening to raise the `` rent '' to 20 cents a head , and to bill the Phillies for stadium upkeep the A 's had always paid for . When Carpenter did not show signs of giving in , Johnson said he would call the entire deal off . Carpenter knew he did not have much choice , since no other facility in the Delaware Valley was suitable even for temporary use . Reluctantly , he formed the 21st and Lehigh Realty Company to buy the park for $1.7 million , and collected rent from the Phillies just as the A 's had previously -- though this effectively resulted in Carpenter transferring money from one pocket to another . Showing its age despite a new name 1955 : ungainly top - deck roofs overwhelm original design , dwarfing the corner tower 1960 : Even the draw of a doubleheader with the Dodgers did not fill many seats upstairs The deal was done and the A 's were gone . In early 1955 , two trucks backed up to the stadium and packed the artifacts from the Elephant Room for removal to Kansas City . Carpenter graciously encouraged Mr. Mack to continue using his opulent tower office in the stadium that now bore his name , which he did almost daily until his death some 13 months later . 1955 -- 1970 : Carpenter , Phillies and decline ( edit ) When the stadium opened for the 1955 season , Carpenter 's first , advertising billboards first appeared on the walls and roofs of the outfield : Formost dairy , Goldenberg 's Peanut Chews , Philco , Cadillac , Alpo , Coca - Cola and Mertz Tours signs became familiar sights to stadiumgoers and to fans watching on television . A new straight - across fence covered the square corner in center field and most of the remaining `` terrace '' , reducing the distance to a still - formidable 447 feet . Distance markers also appeared on the walls for the first time . In addition to the foul poles ( 334 and 331 ) and the center field area ( 447 ) , a 400 marker was posted just to the center field side of the scoreboard , and a 405 marker in the corresponding area of deep left center field . A few years later , wooden fencing covered the rough bricks along the right field wall , and eventually the 331 sign was changed to read 329 , although that change had no impact on the actual home run distance . A statue of Connie Mack was erected in 1957 across the street ; two of his great - grandsons pulled the ropes that unveiled the statue The Mack statue at its current location , adjacent to Citizens Bank Park in South Philadelphia In 1956 , Bob Carpenter replaced the old 1941 scoreboard in right - center field with a new , much larger board , constructed for Connie Mack Stadium . A prominent feature of the new board was the Ballantine Beer advertisement across the top and the Longines clock perched above it . The board 's superficial resemblance to the similarly - adorned board in Yankee Stadium gave rise to the urban legend that the board was acquired second - hand from the Yankees . However , the boards differed in many details , and the Yankee Stadium board remained until 1959 when it was replaced , a few years after Connie Mack Stadium 's new board had made its appearance . The big scoreboard extended well above the top of the right field fence , topping out at 75 feet including the clock . The entire board was in play except for the clock that topped the board : Balls that hit the clock were home runs . Dick Allen was the only player to ever hit a home run over the Ballantine Beer sign and scoreboard . The scoreboard was used through the final year at the ballpark . Also in 1956 , a new Plexiglas barrier replaced the old backstop screen , an experiment also conducted at Cincinnati 's Crosley Field around that same time . After the death of Mr. Mack in February 1956 , a Mack Memorial Committee raised funds and commissioned sculptor Harry Rosin to create a statue of `` Mr. Baseball '' . On April 16 , 1957 , it was unveiled across Lehigh Avenue in Reyburn Park -- named after the mayor who threw out the first ball at Shibe back in 1909 -- as part of the Opening Day ceremonies for the 1957 season . Commissioner Ford Frick , AL president Will Harridge and Leo Durocher all attended , as did many former A 's players ; the ceremony was emceed by sportscaster Bill Campbell . Shortly after , Philadelphia City Council removed Reyburn 's name from the park and replaced it with Mack 's . The statue was later moved to Veterans Stadium in 1971 , and ultimately to Citizens Bank Park in 2004 . For the 1960 season , additional box seats in front of the original grandstand reduced the plate - to - screen distance by about 10 feet . With a couple of years of life left in the park , a curving inner fence across center field reduced the distance from 447 to 410 . The final seating capacity of the ballpark , as recorded in the 1970 Sporting News Baseball Guide , was 33,608 . Carpenter 's reluctance about Connie Mack Stadium soon proved justified . He found it impossible to find a way to make the park profitable . His first thought was to extend the length of his income season by adding a football team . In 1959 , he sought to buy an American Football League franchise , but the negotiations failed . Additionally , the neighborhood rapidly went to seed ; the phrase `` Watch your car , mister ? '' became a catch phrase to game attendees . Indeed , the parking problem became the very crux of the issue in the 1950s and 1960s : whereas most people had formerly come to the park on public transportation , after the war , the automobile became the standard mode of transport . There was a 500 - car lot , later expanded to 850 cars , across 21st Street , but it was not nearly enough . Carpenter tried to buy the whole block in 1959 for a multi-level garage , but the deal fell through . The team maintained special `` Phillies Express '' buses to shuttle fans from transportation hubs in Camden and the 69th Street Terminal in Upper Darby , but the service never really caught on . Carpenter also investigated land tracts first in West Philadelphia , then in the Torresdale section of the city , as well as nearby suburban Cheltenham and farther - flung Camden , across the river in New Jersey . But there were prohibitive problems with every one of those proposed sites . Carpenter finally gave up and in 1961 sold the stadium for $600,000 to a group of New York real estate investors , losing over a million dollars after his 7 - year ownership ; he secured a 3 - year lease and an option to stay through 1967 while he pursued his Torresdale stadium plan . The New York buyers quickly flipped the property to another New York consortium who , assuming the Phillies would be gone by 1967 , began planning the demolition of the stadium and construction of a bowling alley and discount store on the site . Then in May 1964 , Jerry Wolman , who had just bought the Philadelphia Eagles in February , brought the stadium ownership back to town , paying $757,000 for it as part of a larger real estate deal . Wolman 's motivations for the purchase are in dispute -- all the mortgage shuffling did not slow the decay out at the park -- but he claimed he wanted to help the Phillies ; the move also put him at the very center of the emerging fight over a new stadium in Philadelphia , which would likely affect his Eagles . Wolman , the city , and even Carpenter were all exploring plans to solve the town 's stadium problem . The plan that came closest to fruition was a complicated 1964 package that called for a new stadium with parking for 7,000 cars to be built `` on stilts '' over the vast railroad yards near 30th Street Station . This plan had considerable backing from city politicians and businessmen , but it too eventually unraveled when federal urban renewal funds did not come through and extended wrangling between Wolman and everyone else involved brought it down . Wolman then tried to sell the park to the city for the nominal price of 50 cents , but Mayor James Tate balked at using city money to pay for major renovations . Eventually the city would build Veterans Stadium in South Philadelphia and the Phillies would leave Connie Mack Stadium . 1914 World Series : A 's vs. Braves The close of The First Dynasty Outside , fans mill about the 21st and Lehigh box office in search of World Series tickets Inside , the A 's await Game 1 ; they were swept by the `` Miracle Braves '' in four games Up in the stands , the Boston `` Royal Rooters '' had arrived on a special train , had paraded up Broad St. and had dedicated seating The final game at Connie Mack Stadium was played on October 1 , 1970 , with the Phillies defeating the Montreal Expos 2 -- 1 in 10 innings . The occasion was marred by souvenir hunters literally dismantling the stadium even while the game was still in progress . A special post-game ceremony -- including a helicopter removal of home plate and delivery of it at The Vet -- was cancelled in the mayhem . Baseball at the Park ( edit ) Further information on the Athletics : History of the Oakland Athletics Further information on the Phillies : History of the Philadelphia Phillies Over its 62 seasons of operation , Shibe Park was home to some of the best teams of their eras -- and to some of the worst : the A 's and the Phillies won eight of their leagues ' pennants , bringing eight World Series to 21st and Lehigh . The two clubs also finished dead last in their leagues a combined 30 times -- 18 by the A 's , 12 by the Phillies . In 1996 , Sports Illustrated proclaimed on its cover : `` The 1929 Philadelphia A 's , not the ' 27 Yankees , may have been the greatest baseball club ever assembled . '' Over their first six seasons in the park , the A 's dominated the American League . They won four pennants those six years and were famed for their $100,000 Infield , said by statistician Bill James to be the greatest infield of all time . Baseball historians since have dubbed the 1910 -- 1914 A 's clubs `` The First Dynasty '' ; it was `` the sport 's first championship dynasty ever . '' After the 1914 team lost the World Series in four games , Connie Mack sold off his top stars . If there was any doubt the dynasty had ended , A 's teams finished last in the AL the next seven years in a row . The fire sale and subsequent cellar seasons earned Mack and the A 's tremendous acrimony among Philadelphia fans . Mack launched a rebuilding program in the mid-1920s , and his effort became `` The Second Dynasty '' , which culminated in back - to - back - to - back AL pennants in 1929 , 1930 and 1931 . It was an ill - timed hegemony , though : the Wall Street Crash of 1929 triggered the Great Depression , and hard times caused baseball attendance to plummet , winners or no . By October 1932 , the second great sell - off , of The Second Dynasty , was underway ; by 1935 , the stars were gone and the franchise had picked up $545,000 cash for itself . The A 's had won the last of their pennants ( and would not go to the postseason again until 1971 , when they were in Oakland ) , and goodwill with the fan base was in short supply indeed . The highs and lows of the A 's were matched by those of the Phillies -- except for most of the highs . As mentioned above , their first decade at Shibe saw the end of one of the longest streaks of futility in major league history -- only one winning season from 1918 to 1948 . Their 1950 Whiz Kids team did win a pennant -- the first for a Philadelphia team in 19 years . The 1964 Phillies came close to doing it again -- until the infamous `` Phold '' . On the other side of the spectrum , the 1961 team managed to set an enduring record , though : their 23 - losses - in - a-row mark ( from July 29 -- August 20 ) has yet to be bested . Memorable games ( edit ) In the very first game at Shibe Park , catcher Doc Powers of the Philadelphia Athletics is said by some to have suffered internal injuries after crashing into a wall to catch a foul pop - up . Powers did die two weeks later . The Athletics participated in seven World Series during their tenure at the stadium : 1910 , 1911 , 1913 , 1914 , 1929 , 1930 and 1931 , winning the Fall Classic in 1910 , 1911 , 1913 , 1929 , and 1930 . The hometown fans got to witness the A 's clinch world titles at Shibe Park in 1911 , 1929 and 1930 . The Phillies participated in one World Series during their tenure at the stadium , in 1950 . They were swept by the New York Yankees . The 1943 All - Star Game was the first of two that would be held at Shibe Park . The 1943 game was hosted by the Athletics , and the 1952 game by the Phillies . The 1943 game was the second of three wartime All - Star Games that would be played at night . The American Leaguers won the game , 5 -- 3 . President and Mrs. Hoover at Shibe for the 1929 World Series , 18 days prior to Black Tuesday The 1951 All - Star Game had originally been awarded to the Phillies . However , the city of Detroit was celebrating the 250th anniversary of its founding in 1701 and requested to host the year 's All - Star Game . The 1951 game was moved to Briggs Stadium , and the Phillies then hosted the 1952 Game . The home city was well represented on the All - Star teams . Phillies pitcher Curt Simmons started the game for the Nationals in front of the home crowd ; Phillies shortstop Granny Hamner started and batted eighth ; and A 's pitcher Bobby Shantz pitched the fifth inning for the Americans and struck out Whitey Lockman , Jackie Robinson and Stan Musial in succession . It had rained all day , starting early in the morning and keeping both teams from pre-game warm ups . Rain delayed the first pitch by 20 minutes and eventually caused the game to be called after the fifth inning . The National Leaguers emerged with a then - rare All - Star victory for the Senior Circuit , 3 - 2 . In September 1923 , the A 's had the misfortune of being no - hit twice in just four days , at home in Shibe Park . On the 4th , Yankees hurler Sam Jones was just one walk away from a perfect game when he no - hit the A 's ; four days later on the 7th , it was Boston 's Howard Ehmke who was likewise a lone BB away from perfection . In Game 4 of the 1929 World Series , the A 's , down 8 -- 0 to the Chicago Cubs , scored ten runs in the 7th inning to win . It was the highest score in a single inning and the biggest comeback in World Series history . The game on May 16 , 1939 was the first night game played in the American League . The Cleveland Indians beat the A 's 8 -- 3 in front of 15,000 + nocturnal fans . On September 28 , 1941 , the last day of the season , the Boston Red Sox played a doubleheader at Shibe Park . The day before , Boston manager Joe Cronin gave left fielder Ted Williams the option of sitting out the final two games , because his . 3995 average would round up to . 400 . Williams walked the streets of Philadelphia that night , pondering ; he decided the stat would be cheapened if he did sit out , so he played and went 6 - for - 8 . His . 406 average for 1941 was the last . 400 - plus average in the major leagues . Frank `` Home Run '' Baker hit the first home run at Shibe Park , on May 29 , 1909 Over the years , four A 's pitchers tossed no - hitters in Shibe Park : Chief Bender in 1910 , Bullet Joe Bush in 1916 , Dick Fowler in 1945 and Bill McCahan in 1947 . Home runs ( edit ) The ballpark was the site of some notable home run feats . On May 29 , 1909 , Frank `` Home Run '' Baker used his 52 - ounce bat to hit the first home run in Shibe Park : 340 feet over the right field fence , off Boston 's RHP Frank Arellanes , who had previously served him up a grand slam pitch in Boston on April 24 . Montreal Expos catcher John Bateman hit the last home run there on September 29 , 1970 , in the antepenultimate game played at the stadium . `` Double - X 's '' prowess with the stick was national news the summer of 1929 Babe Ruth , who got his first hit as a Yankee at Shibe Park on April 14 , 1920 , hit a blast to deep left - center on September 9 , 1921 , that cleared the then - single bleacher stand , went across the street , and hit a tree over 500 feet away . On May 21 , 1930 , Ruth hit one to right field over the 12 - foot wall that landed in Opal Street , the alley behind the second row of houses , again over 500 feet distant and said to be the longest ever home run hit at Shibe Park . The longest strike ever hit there is said to be Ted Williams 's prodigious foul ball blast that cleared the high roof at the right field line , passed over 20th , over Opal , over Garnet , and came down on 19th Street . On June 3 , 1932 , Lou Gehrig hit four homers in one game . He hit two to the left field bleachers , two over the right field wall , and had a shot at a fifth homer with a deep fly to center , but center fielder Al Simmons snared it on a running catch . A 's slugger Jimmie Foxx was also known for tape - measure blasts , especially during 1932 when he hit 58 home runs and challenged Ruth 's season record of 60 . Foxx was the all - time home run hitter at Shibe Park , with 195 round - trippers between 1927 and 1945 . On May 24 , 1936 , New York Yankees second baseman Tony Lazzeri hit two grand slams -- one in the second off George Turbeville , one in the fifth off Herman Fink -- and a solo shot in the seventh off Woody Upchurch , setting a single game RBI record of 11 ( he also hit a 2 - RBI triple ) . The Yanks prevailed , 25 -- 2 . Yankee sluggers set the record for home runs hit in a doubleheader when they visited Shibe Park on June 28 , 1939 . Tommy Henrich , Bill Dickey , George Selkirk and Frankie Crosetti hit one each and Joe Gordon , Babe Dahlgren and Joe DiMaggio all hit three . Total : 13 round - trippers . The Yanks won both ends , 23 -- 2 and 10 -- 0 . On June 2 , 1949 , the Phillies hit five home runs in the 8th inning : Del Ennis , Willie Jones and Schoolboy Rowe each smacked one and Andy Seminick hit two off Cincinnati Reds pitchers Ken Raffensberger , Jess Dobernic and Kent Peterson in a 12 -- 3 win . In later years , Dick Allen hit some booming drives over the roof of the double - decked bleachers , in the general direction of the 1921 Ruthian shot . He also cleared the big scoreboard in right - center field . Despite his hitting prowess , Allen was unpopular with the fans , and fellow long - ball hitter Willie Stargell of the Pittsburgh Pirates joked that the reason Allen was booed at home was that he hit his long drives clear out of the stadium : `` When he hits a homer , there 's no souvenir . '' Mule Haas 's inside - the - park homer helped the A 's win the 1929 World Series The single most famous home run hit at Shibe Park may be the one that stayed inside the park , in Game 4 of the 1929 World Series vs. the Chicago Cubs . Mule Haas of the A 's hit a deep fly to center field which Hack Wilson of the Cubs lost in the sun . It landed behind him and rolled toward the center field corner , nearly 470 feet from home plate . As Wilson tried to chase down the ball , Haas circled the bases . The A 's scored a total of 10 runs in that inning , and went on to defeat the Cubs in the Series . Negro League baseball ( edit ) Shibe Park hosted its first Negro League games in 1919 when the Hilldale Club and Bacharach Giants played home games at the ballpark . Games between white major league teams and Negro League teams were not uncommon . The Bacharach Giants hosted an exhibition game at Shibe Park against John McGraw 's New York Giants on October 6 , 1919 . Shibe Park was a neutral site venue for Negro League World Series games . The Cleveland Buckeyes defeated the Homestead Grays , 5 - 0 , on September 20 , 1945 , to win game four and sweep the Series , four games to zero . Cleveland 's Frank Carswell defeated Homestead 's Ray Brown . The Negro League Philadelphia Stars played home games at Shibe Park in the 1940s . The team 's usual home field , at 44th and Parkside seated approximately 6,000 fans ; the Stars were able to draw between 10,000 and 12,000 to Shibe Park . They often played double - headers on Monday nights which was a travel day for the major league clubs . For football , special stands in right field ( at left here ) brought fans close to action . Eagles won the 1948 NFL title in the snow at Shibe Park Former Stars player Gene Benson would later recall the team playing about twenty games per season at Shibe Park . The Stars would dress in the A 's locker room . The Stars drew their largest crowd on June 21 , 1943 when they beat the Kansas City Monarchs in front of 24,165 . Professional Football ( edit ) Shibe Park hosted the Frankford Yellow Jackets against the Chicago Bears on December 5 , 1925 and the Yellow Jackets against the Bears on December 4 , 1926 . It also served as the site of two AFL games in 1926 , the Philadelphia Quakers against the Los Angeles Wildcats on November 20 , 1926 and the Quakers against the New York Yankees on November 27 , 1926 . The stadium hosted the December 12 , 1925 , Pottsville Maroons -- Notre Dame All - Stars game . The Maroons ' NFL franchise was suspended as a result of the team 's participation in that contest , costing Pottsville the 1925 NFL championship . The National Football League 's Philadelphia Eagles moved to Shibe Park in 1940 and played their home games at the stadium through 1957 . To accommodate football at Shibe Park during the winter , management set up stands in right field , parallel to Twentieth Street . Some twenty feet high , these `` east stands '' had twenty - two rows of seats . The goalposts stood along the first base line and in left field . The uncovered east stands enlarged capacity of Shibe Park to over thirty - nine thousand , but the Eagles rarely drew more than twenty - five to thirty thousand . The Eagles played the 1948 NFL Championship Game in a blizzard ; the home team defeated the Chicago Cardinals 7 -- 0 , the only score being a Steve Van Buren touchdown . The Eagles left Connie Mack Stadium after the 1957 season for Franklin Field . Franklin Field would seat over 60,000 for the Eagles whereas Connie Mack had a capacity of 39,000 . Presidential visit to Shibe Park , 1944 FDR addresses the crowd from his open car , elevated by special ramps on the field Boxing , politics , soccer , religion ( edit ) Shibe Park hosted a championship bout when Leonard beat challenger Kilbane , 1917 Shibe scion Jack briefly tried his hand as a boxing promoter in the early 1910s , shortly after his father built Shibe Park , and although he did not pursue the career , he did make the acquaintance of other promoters in the Philadelphia boxing world , including Bob Gunnis and Herman `` Muggsy '' Taylor . Gunnis and Taylor became among the first promoters to book a bout into a major league baseball stadium when they brought Johnny Dundee vs. George Chaney to Shibe Park in July 1917 , and although the fight itself was unremarkable , the concept propelled Gunnis and Taylor to the forefront of their trade . Over the next forty years , perhaps a hundred boxing cards took place at Shibe , some of them big - time pairings and even championship bouts . Benny Leonard retained his championship against challenger Johnny Kilbane in 1917 , and 1928 's Benny Bass vs. Harry Blitman was said by sportswriters to be the best featherweight bout in the city 's history . In the 1950s , Gil Turner , Ike Williams , Charley Fusari and many other top fighters fought important bouts at Shibe Park . At first , groundskeepers set the ring up over the pitcher 's mound , but soon this changed to the area over home plate with the baseball backstops dismantled ; spectators sat in the main grandstand for the fight . Even before the installation of the light towers in 1939 , staging night boxing was easy because of the vastly smaller area that needed to be lit -- portable searchlights did the trick . In October 1948 , the US national soccer team played three international friendlies against the Israel national team . The first game was played at the Polo Grounds and the last at Ebbets Field . In the middle match on October 17 , the US beat Israel at Shibe Park , shutting them out 4 -- 0 before 30,000 fans . The events were not always sports - related : the 30 - some - thousand seats were a good venue for political rallies . In 1940 , Republican presidential candidate Wendell Willkie came to Shibe for a speech and rally . Four years later , the man who beat Willkie , Franklin D. Roosevelt , made one of his few 1944 public appearances at 21st and Lehigh ; he won again . In 1948 , third - party Progressive candidate Henry A. Wallace made his nomination acceptance speech there . Promoters tried jazz concerts in 1959 , but the place was deemed `` not intimate enough '' for jazz . The rodeo came in 1962 , but hooves proved too destructive of the turf . The Ringling Brothers circus set up shop at Shibe in 1955 when they were denied occupancy at all their regular Philadelphia venues , and evangelist Billy Graham had many successful crusades there . The stadium management 's favorite visitors were the Jehovah 's Witnesses , `` because the Witnesses left the park immaculate . '' Through the turnstiles ( edit ) The signature corner tower was the last to go : final day of demolition , July 13 , 1976 The Shibe Park turnstiles registered some 47 million clicks over 62 seasons of baseball . The Phillies were first to break the million mark for a season in 1946 with a team that was a `` harbinger of the Whiz Kids . '' The star - crossed 1964 Phillies drew the highest single - season attendance with 1,425,891 in that infamous year ; the Athletics ' best - attended season was 1948 , when they drew 945,076 fans . The largest single - day baseball crowd came on May 11 , 1947 , when Jackie Robinson made his Philadelphia debut ; the Phillies beat the Brooklyn Dodgers in both ends of their doubleheader that day as 41,660 looked on . The Athletics ' best single - day turnout was also for a doubleheader , with the Washington Senators , on August 3 , 1931 , as the Second Dynasty team was closing in on its third AL pennant in a row ; they swept both games before a crowd of 38,800 - plus . Low - ebb seasons were the Phillies ' 1940 turnout of 207,177 and the Athletics ' turnout of 146,223 in 1915 , the year after Connie Mack sold off the stars from his 1914 pennant - winning team . Last years ( edit ) In March 1971 , bankrupt Jerry Wolman -- who had had to sell the Eagles in 1969 -- agreed in principle to sell the Connie Mack Stadium property to Louis Graboyes and S. Solis Tollin . Without any permanent tenants for the stadium , Wolman had found himself unable to meet mortgage payments on it . The sale to Graboyes and Tollin , however , was never closed . On August 20 , 1971 , the Connie Mack statue was re-dedicated at Veterans Stadium . That same day , while an evangelical revival group was setting up its tent , two stepbrothers , aged 9 and 12 , sneaked into the park and started a small fire that grew into a 5 - alarmer , burning through much of the original upper deck , collapsing the roof and leaving twisted steel supports visible from the streets . Ironically , the collapse of the overbloated roof restored much of the balanced grandeur of the original design . The park remained that way for four years , slowly deteriorating and becoming increasingly hazardous . Squatters took up revolving residence , and trash and debris accumulated ; small trees took root and flourished , while the once - manicured emerald turf became unruly knee - high stalks . In October 1975 , Philadelphia Common Pleas Court Judge Ned Hirsh ordered what remained of the stadium razed . The corner tower and its domed cupola , Connie Mack 's original office , was the last segment of the ballpark demolished , on July 13 , 1976 . The demolition on July 13 , 1976 was the same day as the 47th MLB All - Star Game played at Veterans Stadium in South Philly . Although Wolman was in default on the mortgage and there were many liens against the property -- the most recent being the $100,000 + demolition tab from Geppert Brothers -- he continued to own it until 1981 , when he sold it to Deliverance Evangelistic Church , a nondenominational evangelical Christian congregation . In 1991 , the church began constructing a 5,100 - seat sanctuary on the site , which was completed a year later , and formally dedicated on August 30 , 1992 . Shibe Park site 2011 Contemporary culture ( edit ) Shibe Park 's rooftop bleachers became one of the inspirations for a special seating area in Citizens Bank Park when it opened in 2004 . Of their `` Rooftop Bleacher Seats '' , the Phillies announced , `` The Phillies are bringing back rooftop bleacher seats , a Shibe Park phenomenon of the 1920s when residents of 20th Street built bleacher seats on top of their roofs . The seats are located on top of the buildings along Ashburn Alley . '' Shibe Park was one of 10 historic ballparks celebrated on the USPS 34 - cent Commemorative issue stamps , `` Baseball 's Legendary Playing Fields '' , released June 27 , 2001 . The reverse of the Shibe Park stamp reads , `` The first Major League Baseball concrete - and - steel stadium , Philadelphia 's Shibe Park featured a 34 - foot - high right field wall , as well as a façade with stately columns and a French Renaissance cupola . '' In 2009 , the Philadelphia Brewing Co. released an ale named `` Fleur de Lehigh '' , which features Shibe Park on the label . 1910 World Series : Philadelphia A 's vs. Chicago Cubs , Game 2 at Shibe Park .

A timeline produced by the World Resources Institute ( WRI ) highlights some key events in oil drilling governance and regulatory system that ultimately govern oil spills in the United States . 1978 : Congress passed amendments to the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act , Charging the Secretary of interior with overseeing the developments of offshore oil reserves , according to a new tiered management structure . 1978 : The White House council on Environmental Quality issued regulations regarding federal agencies mandatory implementation of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 1985 : The council on Environmental Quality approved the MMS departmental manual , which established the agency 's policy for NEPA implementation and issuing categorical exclusions . 1986 : The Council on Environmental Quality revoked its 1978 requirement that agencies include `` worst - case analyses '' in Environmental Impact Statements for actions with unknown or questionable risks . 1989 : March 24 , the Exxon Valdez oil tanker struck a reef off the coast of Alaska , spilling millions of gallons of crude oil into the Prince William Sound 1990 : President George H.W Bush expanded congressional moratoria on offshore drilling . 1990 : The Oil Pollution Act of 1990 was passed by congress as a result of the Exxon Valdez oil spill . 1994 : June 30 , MMS adopted a voluntary `` safety systems management model '' developed by the American Petroleum Institute . 2000 : March 3 , MMS issued a Safety Alert urging offshore lease holders to install a backup mechanism for activating a rig 's blowout preventer ( BOP ) in the event of a blowout to prevent oil spillage . 2003 : MMS reversed the Safety Alert making having a backup system for remotely activating a rig 's BOP a non requirement . Although the OPA provides a framework for oil spillage governance recent events resulting in the BP deep water oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico suggest more can and should have been done in this area . Evidence of this fact is present in the recommendations and investigations present in the January 2011 report by the recently established National Oil Spill Commission . A further sign of lack of proper governance is implicit in the action of the federal government to rename and reform the Minerals Management Service ( MMS ) into the now Bureau of Ocean Energy Management , Regulation and Enforcement . Governance framework ( edit ) Legislation governing oil spills in the U.S. ( edit ) The 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill served as a major focal point in oil spill governance and reform . Prior to the Exxon Valdez incident a number of laws were in place to prevent and respond to oil spills . These include : The National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan ( NCP ) 1968 : The NCP established the response system the federal government was to follow in the event of oil spills and release of hazardous materials into the environment . The NCP was a response by U.S. policy makers to the Torrey Canyon oil tanker spill off the coast of England . It has since been amended by the Clean Water Act ( 1972 ) , the Oil Pollution Act ( 1990 ) and the Comprehensive Environmental Response , Competition and Liability Act ( CERCLA ) 1980 . The Oil Pollution Act increased the role and dimensions of the NCP by establishing a more robust planning and response system to improve response and prevent spills in marine environments . The Clean Water Act ( 1972 ) : The clean water act ( CWA ) was the most extensive legislation which considered oil spills prior to the Exxon Valdez spill . The CWA made provisions for post-spill reporting , response and liability by the responsible party . The Trans - Alaska Pipeline Authorization Act ( 1973 ) : Major oil transportation via pipelines goes through the Trans - Alaskan route . Spills from pipelines along this route although inland , could migrate into coastal waters via inland rivers . Hence the act was established to cover oil spills and liability relating to the Trans - Alaska Pipeline System ( TAPS ) . The Deep Port Act ( 1974 ) : This was the major statute for deep water spill incidents . It addressed oil spills , cleanup and liability at deepwater oil ports . The Outer Continent Shelf Lands Act Amendments ( 1978 ) : This act addressed oil spills , cleanup and liability structure for oil extraction facilities in federal offshore waters . The Hazardous Liquid Pipeline Act of ( 1979 ) : This act granted the Department of Transport ( DOT ) authority to govern oil spills from pipelines . The Pipeline Safety Improvement Act of ( 2006 ) : This act was established to improve pipeline safety and security practices . This act also reaffirmed the role of the federal office of pipeline safety relevant governing body in terms of pipeline spills under the DOT . The above legislations were the principle governing instruments of oil spills incidents prior to the Exxon Valdez oil spill . Several attempts by congress to establish more encompassing and elaborate oil pollution laws were hindered by belligerent issues which mostly produced stalemates . One such conflict was federal law limiting a state 's ability to enforce requirements and liability for parties responsible for causing oil spills . The focus of the debates was mostly centred on party liability . An example of the type of debates is illustrated in the question `` who is liable in the case of a vessel spill ? '' The cargo owner or the ship operator / owner ? Another significant issue was the interaction of domestic legislation and international measures . In 1980 's , international agreements being considered would take over oil spills federal and state laws adding further complexity to party liability . However , after the Exxon Valdez incident , the short comings of the patchy framework for oil spill governance was apparent and growing pressure placed on lawmakers resulted in the establishment of the more comprehensive Oil Pollution Act of 1990 . The Oil Pollution Act ( 1990 ) : The OPA is the primary legislation that governs oil spills in the U.S. The establishment of the OPA substantiated the federal government 's role in responding to oil spill cleanups . The OPA made amendments to the already existing CWA to provide 3 options to the delegated authorities through the president . The options include conducting immediate cleanup by federal authorities , to monitor the response of the responsible party or commandeer the cleanup activities of the responsible party . Hence giving the federal government the authority to determine the level of cleanup required . A second significant amendment the OPA makes to the CWA is that it makes it a mandatory requirement for U.S. tank vessels , onshore and offshore facilities to establish and submit oil spill response plans to the corresponding federal authority . The OPA requires new vessels operating and transporting oil in U.S. waters to have double hulls . Not all vessels are of the same size and for the same purpose hence the OPA makes provision for exempting certain vessels from having double hulls . However , by 2015 it is a requirement by law that all oil carrying vessels operating in the U.S. must have double hulls . Federal agencies responsibility ( edit ) The legal framework for enforcing oil spill governance in the U.S. involves a number of federal authorities . The responsibilities of the agency is split into two categories : ( 1 ) oil spill anticipation and prevention and ( 2 ) oil spill response and cleanup . Response and Clean - up ( edit ) The single most important authority governing oil spills in the United States is the Federal government . The federal government has jurisdiction over oil responses and oil spills that occur in state and federal navigable waters alike . The location of the Oil spill determines which authority responds . Oil spills that occur in coastal waters are the responsibility of the United States Coast Guard ( USCG ) while the Environmental Protection Agency covers inland oil spills . It is required by US federal law that any discharge of oil that creates a film or sheen on the water surface be reported to the National Response Centre . The National Response Centre then dissipates information to the USCG who acts as the federal on - scene coordinator . The USCG are the primary federal response authority in coastal water hence having the overall power to ensure the effective cleanup of oil spills and lead actions that prevent further discharge from the spill source . The resulting activities that follow up an oil spill involving federal , state and private parties are co-ordinated by the USCG . The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration , Office of Response and Restoration ( NOAA ) works closely with the USCG in providing assistance in technical areas such as Consideration of Alternatives , Oil displacement tracking and risk assessments . Anticipation and prevention ( edit ) Different authorities are responsible for governing oil spill prevention and anticipation depending on the potential sources of the oil spills . A number of executive orders ( EOs ) and memoranda of understanding ( MOU ) have established the authorities and agencies responsible for various classes of potential oil spills ( Table 1 ) . Potential source of oil spill Responsible agency Onshore , non-transportation facilities EPA Onshore , transportation facilities USCG and Department of Transportation ( DOT ) Deep water ports USCG and DOT Offshore facilities ( oil and gas extraction ) Bureau of Ocean Energy Management ( BOEM ) within the Department of Interior Offshore pipelines directly associated with oil extraction activities ( i.e. production lines ) BSEE Offshore pipelines not directly associated with oil extraction activities ( i.e. transmission lines ) Office of Pipeline Safety ( OPS ) within the DOT Inland Pipelines OPS Table. 1 Federal Agency Jurisdiction for oil spill anticipation and prevention duties , by potential sources . The preventive measures taken by relevant authorities include assessment of facilities to ensure the required standards set out by legislation are met e.g. Double hulls in new vessels and secondary containment in oil holding facilities . Anticipatory duties involve managing the response plans of vessels and facilities to oil spills at various levels : state , regional and national . This ensures proper training of personnel on vessels and facilities to carry out their outlined response plans is also a key duty . The OPA requires relevant agencies to conduct examination to test the anticipative capacities of the parties involved . International oil spill governance in the U.S. ( edit ) International conventions have played an important role in creating external networks for governing oil spills in the U.S. international treaties when signed by the U.S. are on the same level as federal law , hence signatory parties must implement domestic legislation to reflect the agreement . This mechanism helps to engineer a number of federal laws governing oil spills such as the intervention on the High Sea Act of 1974 . International conventions serve a key role in developing standards for oil carrying vessels from different nations into the U.S. The two major conventions which have contributed to oil spill governance are the 1969 International Convention Relating to Intervention on the High Seas in Cases of Oil Pollution Casualties ( the Intervention Convention ) and the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships ( MARPOL 73 / 78 ) . The most important international organisations that contribute to oil spill governance in the U.S. include the International Maritime Organisation ( IMO ) , International Spill Control Organisation ( ISCO ) and the Association of Petroleum Industry Managers ( APICOM ) . Governance approach to U.S. oil spills ( edit ) The oil spill framework in the U.S. employs a multilateral system of governance where the federal authorities , NGO 's and private parties are all actively involved in response and cleanup procedures . Although the U.S. government plays an important role in regulating oil spills , it does not entirely command and control every aspect of the process . Due to the complex nature of oil and gas operations and limited technical expertise by the government in such industries , industry standard setting and self - policing play a significant role in the governing process of oil spills . This has inevitably led to the network governance approach used to govern oil spills . The insufficient expertise and specialist technical knowledge in the public sector makes it difficult for the government to rely entirely on its personnel hence resulting in public - private partnership known as a type II partnership . This style of new public management to oil spill governance is common in other aspects of environmental governance ( e.g. climate change ) in the U.S. and differs from the typical bureaucratic role of enforcement the federal government usually play . The governance process of oil spills relies on input from national , private and international institutions . To effectively implement response , prevention and cleanup procedures a number of public authorities were given responsibility under different jurisdictions . Since the 1970s the number of institutions governing oil spills has increased , indicating a steady shift from state led government approach to a broader and multi layered governance process . The implementation of international oil spill treaties into domestic legislation discussed earlier provides further evidence of the shift to a more governance based approach .

Introduced in the 2015 film Star Wars : The Force Awakens , he is portrayed by Adam Driver . `` Kylo Ren '' is the chosen name of Ben Solo , the son of original Star Wars trilogy characters Han Solo and Leia Organa . Though trained by his uncle Luke Skywalker as a Jedi , he has been seduced to the dark side of the Force by Supreme Leader Snoke and aspires to be as powerful as his grandfather , Darth Vader , and create a new order in the galaxy separate from the legacies created by Luke and the Jedi Order . Kylo Ren is also the master of the Knights of Ren , as well as a commander and later the supreme leader of the First Order , an organization spawned from the fallen Galactic Empire . He is featured in The Force Awakens media and merchandising and appears in the film 's sequel , Star Wars : The Last Jedi ( 2017 ) .

Abrams and Michael Arndt , with no direct participation from Star Wars creator George Lucas . According to director Abrams , the First Order is inspired by ODESSA , a theoretical network of SS officers who fled to Argentina following World War II . Driver 's casting in the film in an unnamed role was first announced on April 29 , 2014 . Kylo Ren was first seen , but still not named , in the 88 - second The Force Awakens teaser trailer released by Lucasfilm on November 28 , 2014 , wielding a jagged red lightsaber with a crossguard . The name Kylo Ren was revealed by Entertainment Weekly in a Lucasfilm - designed Topps - style trading card mockup in December 2014 . A May 2015 Vanity Fair photo shoot by Annie Leibovitz confirmed that Driver would be portraying Kylo . In an interview with Time , The Force Awakens costume designer Michael Kaplan said that Abrams requested that Ren 's mask be designed to be memorable for a child . After numerous attempts to gain Abrams ' approval , the final design was selected . Kaplan said : I do n't know if it was the kind of spaghetti type lines on it or what , but the next time J.J. came by that was what we presented to him and he loved it . Also the silver in those lines kind of reflects and changes color with the action . You know , if he 's standing in front of fire you see that , so it almost brings you into the mask . Abrams told Entertainment Weekly in August 2015 , `` The movie explains the origins of the mask and where it 's from , but the design was meant to be a nod to the Vader mask . '' According to other cast members , Driver is a method actor , which meant that he sometimes stayed in character on set as Ren and left his mask on between scenes . Driver explained that his goal was `` to forget you 're in Star Wars and treat it like any other job that 's filled with moments and problems '' , because from the perspective of the characters living within the film 's universe , `` Darth Vader is real '' . Ren 's character arc shares similarities with that of the Star Wars expanded universe character Jacen Solo , the son of Han Solo and Princess Leia who threatens the galaxy as a fallen Jedi . Additionally , critics have noted a resemblance between Ren 's character design and that of Revan , the protagonist of Knights of the Old Republic . Character ( edit ) Abrams told Empire in August 2015 , `` Kylo Ren is not a Sith . He works under Supreme Leader Snoke , who is a powerful figure on the Dark Side of the Force . '' Abrams had previously told Entertainment Weekly that the character , `` came to the name Kylo Ren when he joined a group called the Knights of Ren . '' Robbie Collin of The Telegraph described Ren as `` a hot - headed , radicalised Dark Side jihadi , whose red lightsaber splutters and crackles as violently as his temper '' . Abrams noted , `` The lightsaber is something that he built himself , and is as dangerous and as fierce and as ragged as the character . '' The Telegraph also explains that Ren 's wild and erratic temper and `` angsty '' instability make him dangerous . Melissa Leon of The Daily Beast describes Ren 's use of the Force as `` formidable '' , citing his ability to stop a blaster shot mid-air , immobilize victims and probe their minds against their will . Kasdan told Entertainment Weekly in August 2015 , `` I 've written four Star Wars movies now , and there 's never been a character quite like the one that Adam plays . I think you 're going to see something that 's brand new to the saga , '' noting that the character is `` full of emotion '' . Abrams explained , `` I think that what makes Ren so unique is that he is n't as fully formed as when we meet a character such as Darth Vader ... He is not your prototypical mustache - twirling bad guy . He is a little bit more complex than that . '' Driver said in December 2015 that , despite the visual similarities to Darth Vader , Ren is `` unlike any villain the franchise has seen before '' . He explained : I feel there 's a recklessness about him that 's maybe not normally associated with the Dark Side . You normally think of order , and structure , and full commitment and no hesitation ... he 's just a little bit more unpolished . It 's in his costume , in his lightsaber -- how you kind of get the sense that it could just not work at any moment ; that it could just blow up . That 's kind of like a big metaphor for him . Appearances ( edit ) Model of Kylo 's cross-bladed lightsaber on display at Star Wars Launch Bay at Disney 's Hollywood Studios ( 2015 ) . Feature films ( edit ) The Force Awakens ( 2015 ) ( edit ) Main article : Star Wars : The Force Awakens Kylo Ren first appears in The Force Awakens as a commander in the First Order , a sinister regime that has risen from the remains of the old Galactic Empire . After arriving at Jakku to retrieve a map containing the coordinates where Luke Skywalker is to be found , Ren kills an old vicar known as Lor San Tekka , and captures Resistance pilot Poe Dameron , who has also been sent to recover the map by General Leia Organa . Ren soon learns that the pilot had entrusted his astromech droid , BB - 8 , with the map . Poe flees with the help of rogue stormtrooper Finn , who later finds BB - 8 , and the scavenger Rey . Finn , Rey , and BB - 8 escape Jakku in the Millennium Falcon , and are soon intercepted by the ship 's former owner , Han Solo , and his co-pilot Chewbacca . It is revealed that Ren is the son of Han and Leia , and was once one of Luke 's Jedi pupils . He was drawn to the dark side of the Force by the First Order 's Supreme Leader Snoke . He then helped to destroy his uncle Luke 's new Jedi Academy . However , Ren still feels the pull of the light side of the Force and seeks the strength to overcome this weakness from his grandfather Darth Vader , whose burnt helmet is in Ren 's possession . Arriving at Maz Kanata 's castle on Takodana , Ren captures Rey , who he senses has seen the map . While interrogating her with the Force , he realizes that she is strong with the Force herself , though unaware of it . Rey finds herself able to resist his powers and experience Ren 's emotions , and confronts him over his fear that he will never be as powerful as his grandfather . She later uses the `` Jedi mind trick '' to compel her stormtrooper guard to let her escape . Han arrives at the First Order 's battle station , Starkiller Base , as part of the Resistance 's plan to destroy it . After Han plants explosives to destroy the base , he confronts Ren -- calling him by his real name , Ben -- and implores him to abandon the dark side , warning him that Snoke will kill him once he accomplishes his goal to seize control of the galaxy . Despite being conflicted , Ren refuses and kills his father , enraging Chewbacca , Han 's copilot , who fires , injuring Ren . As Finn and Rey flee the damaged base , a badly injured Ren follows and confronts them . Finn fights Ren with Luke 's recovered lightsaber , but Ren overpowers and severely wounds him . Rey then takes up the lightsaber and , using the Force , begins to overcome Ren , striking him on the face with the lightsaber and leaving with a scar on the right side of his face . Before the duel is finished , they are separated by a seismic fissure created by the collapsing base . Rey and the others escape as Snoke orders General Hux to evacuate the base and bring Ren to him to complete his training . The last Jedi ( 2017 ) ( edit ) Main article : Star Wars : The Last Jedi Ren 's inner conflict continues into The Last Jedi , specifically through his conversations with Rey , with whom he connects through the Force . Rey believes that his conflict will ultimately bring him back to the light side . Ren captures her and brings her before Snoke , who orders Ren to kill her . However , Ren uses the Force to ignite Luke 's lightsaber at Snoke 's side and cut him in half , killing him . After that , Ren reveals to Rey his new goal to create a new order in the galaxy , separate from the legacies created by Snoke and Luke , and beseeches Rey to join him , while explaining to her about her true parentage , calling Rey a `` nobody '' to everyone else in the galaxy except for Ren . Though tempted , Rey refuses , realizing that Ren will not turn back to the light side . After she escapes , Ren frames her for Snoke 's assassination , declares himself Supreme Leader of the First Order , and orders his forces to attack the Resistance base on Crait . Ren engages Luke in battle and appears to blow him up and cut him in half , but Luke remains standing ; `` Luke '' is revealed to be simply a vision projected from the real Luke on Ahch - To , serving as a distraction which allows the Resistance to escape from the First Order . When Luke vanishes , the First Order storms the base , but the Resistance has already evacuated ; Ren shares a final look with Rey through the Force before Rey closes the door to the Millennium Falcon and escapes with the Resistance . Related works and promotional material ( edit ) He is a playable character in the 2015 Force Awakens add - on to the Disney Infinity 3.0 video game , with an Infinity character figurine available separately . He is also a character in the strategy video game Star Wars : Force Arena . Hasbro has released a 3 ⁄ - inch ( 9.5 cm ) Kylo Ren action figure , and a 6 - inch ( 15 cm ) figure in their Black Series line . He is also featured in the Lego Star Wars playsets Kylo Ren 's Command Shuttle ( 2015 ) and Battle on Takodana ( 2016 ) , as well as a Lego Buildable Figure . The Lego version of Kylo also appears in the 2016 short form animated series Lego Star Wars : The Resistance Rises , and as a playable character in Lego Star Wars : The Force Awakens . In January 2016 , Driver reprised the role for a Star Wars / Undercover Boss sketch on Saturday Night Live , with Kylo Ren disguising himself as a radar technician named `` Matt '' to determine what the Starkiller Base employees really think of him . Kylo Ren appears in Star Wars Battlefront II , voiced by Matthew Wood and Roger Craig Smith , masked and unmasked respectively . In the game , Kylo interrogates Del Meeko about Lor San Tekka 's location ( who possess the map to Luke Skywalker ) using his Force abilities . When Del finally relents and reveals the map and Lor San Tekka 's location , Kylo leaves him for Hask , Del 's former comrade in Inferno Squad . Novels ( edit ) Kylo Ren is a point of view character in the 2015 novelization of The Force Awakens by Alan Dean Foster . In the 2017 Chuck Wendig novel Star Wars : Aftermath : Empire 's End , Ben Solo is stated as having been born on the planet Chandrila on the same day as a peace treaty is signed between the remnants of the Empire and the New Galactic Republic . Kylo Ren is additionally mentioned in the 2017 novel Star Wars : Phasma . Reception ( edit ) Adam Driver received positive reviews for his performance as Kylo Ren . Both the character of Kylo Ren and Driver 's performance have been positively received . Many complimented Ren 's conflicted nature and depth , as well as his costume design , and noted there were many places the character could be taken in future installments . Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian praised the character and the actor alike , saying , `` He is gorgeously cruel , spiteful and capricious -- and unlike the Vader of old , he is given to petulant temper tantrums , with his lightsaber drawn . '' Terri Schwartz of IGN also called Driver 's performance `` spectacular '' , noting that `` his performance adds great depth to a character who could have come off as one - dimensional , and the implications of his arc leave a viewer with plenty to think about after they leave the theater . '' Collin wrote , `` To describe Kylo Ren as this film 's Vader would be accurate in a sense ... But it would also be to undersell the deep ingenuity with which this astonishing character has been crafted by Abrams , Kasdan and Arndt , and also the wells of emotional tumult Driver invests in him . '' Comparing the character to the one - note Vader of the 1977 film , Leon calls Ren `` a living battleground between darkness and light , making him a far more resonant and familiar portrayal of that struggle than we 've ever seen in Star Wars ... ( which ) makes him a far more interesting villain . '' Abrams told Entertainment Weekly , `` it was a great joy to work with Adam Driver on this role , because he threw himself into it in a deep and remarkable way . '' Todd McCarthy of The Hollywood Reporter noted , `` Ren is given a pronounced inferiority complex , a clever bad guy twist that could be taken to interesting places both in the writing and performance . '' Peter Travers of Rolling Stone wrote , `` The bald - faced attempt to clone Vader , one of the greatest badasses in film history , is clankingly obvious , but Driver , masked and unmasked , gives him hypnotic and haunting contours . '' Kyle Buchanan of Vulture.com was underwhelmed by the reveal of Driver under the mask . Leon , however , argued : But that face -- that of a normal , vulnerable young man -- is the most subversively terrifying thing about J. J. Abrams ' reimagining of A New Hope . Rather than pure evil , Ren is something far more familiar : He is human . Just like the real - life young men with minds clouded by fear , hate , and anger who commit unspeakable acts in our world every day ... all the visual cues that leave the character open to criticisms of not being `` evil '' enough -- are all signs of Ren 's struggle between the Dark Side and the Light . Driver won a 2016 Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal . In January 2018 , Kylo was voted seventh greatest movie villain of all time by the readers of Empire .

Uncle Tom 's Cabin Uncle Tom 's Cabin , Boston edition Author Harriet Beecher Stowe Original title Uncle Tom 's Cabin ; or , Life Among the Lowly Illustrator Hammatt Billings ( 1st edition ) Country United States Language English Genre Novel Published Serialized in The National Era for ten months , beginning with the June 5 , 1851 issue .

Published in 1852 , the novel had a profound effect on attitudes toward African Americans and slavery in the U.S. and is said to have `` helped lay the groundwork for the Civil War '' . Stowe , a Connecticut - born teacher at the Hartford Female Seminary and an active abolitionist , featured the character of Uncle Tom , a long - suffering black slave around whom the stories of other characters revolve . The sentimental novel depicts the reality of slavery while also asserting that Christian love can overcome something as destructive as enslavement of fellow human beings . Uncle Tom 's Cabin was the best - selling novel of the 19th century and the second best - selling book of that century , following the Bible . It is credited with helping fuel the abolitionist cause in the 1850s . In the first year after it was published , 300,000 copies of the book were sold in the United States ; one million copies in Great Britain . In 1855 , three years after it was published , it was called `` the most popular novel of our day . '' The impact attributed to the book is great , reinforced by a story that when Abraham Lincoln met Stowe at the start of the Civil War , Lincoln declared , `` So this is the little lady who started this great war . '' The quote is apocryphal ; it did not appear in print until 1896 , and it has been argued that `` The long - term durability of Lincoln 's greeting as an anecdote in literary studies and Stowe scholarship can perhaps be explained in part by the desire among many contemporary intellectuals ... to affirm the role of literature as an agent of social change . '' The book and the plays it inspired helped popularize a number of stereotypes about black people . These include the affectionate , dark - skinned `` mammy '' ; the `` pickaninny '' stereotype of black children ; and the `` Uncle Tom '' , or dutiful , long - suffering servant faithful to his white master or mistress . In recent years , the negative associations with Uncle Tom 's Cabin have , to an extent , overshadowed the historical impact of the book as a `` vital antislavery tool .

Much of the book was composed in Brunswick , Maine , where her husband , Calvin Ellis Stowe , taught at his alma mater , Bowdoin College . An engraving of Harriet Beecher Stowe from 1872 , based on an oil painting by Alonzo Chappel Stowe was partly inspired to create Uncle Tom 's Cabin by the slave narrative The Life of Josiah Henson , Formerly a Slave , Now an Inhabitant of Canada , as Narrated by Himself ( 1849 ) . Henson , a formerly enslaved black man , had lived and worked on a 3,700 acres ( 15 km ) tobacco plantation in North Bethesda , Maryland , owned by Isaac Riley . Henson escaped slavery in 1830 by fleeing to the Province of Upper Canada ( now Ontario ) , where he helped other fugitive slaves settle and become self - sufficient , and where he wrote his memoirs . Stowe acknowledged in 1853 that Henson 's writings inspired Uncle Tom 's Cabin . When Stowe 's work became a best - seller , Henson republished his memoirs as The Memoirs of Uncle Tom and traveled on lecture tours extensively in the United States and Europe . Stowe 's novel lent its name to Henson 's home -- Uncle Tom 's Cabin Historic Site , near Dresden , Canada -- which since the 1940s has been a museum . The cabin where Henson lived while he was enslaved no longer exists , but a cabin on the Riley farm erroneously thought to be the Henson Cabin was purchased by the Montgomery County , Maryland , government in 2006 . It is now a part of the National Park Service National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom program , and plans are underway to build a museum and interpretive center on the site . American Slavery As It Is : Testimony of a Thousand Witnesses , a volume co-authored by Theodore Dwight Weld and the Grimké sisters , is also a source of some of the novel 's content . Stowe said she based the novel on a number of interviews with people who escaped slavery during the time when she was living in Cincinnati , Ohio , across the Ohio River from Kentucky , a slave state . In Cincinnati the Underground Railroad had local abolitionist sympathizers and was active in efforts to help runaway slaves on their escape route from the South . Stowe mentioned a number of the inspirations and sources for her novel in A Key to Uncle Tom 's Cabin ( 1853 ) . This non-fiction book was intended to verify Stowe 's claims about slavery . However , later research indicated that Stowe did not read many of the book 's cited works until after she had published her novel . Publication The National Era , June 5 , 1851 Uncle Tom 's Cabin first appeared as a 40 - week serial in The National Era , an abolitionist periodical , starting with the June 5 , 1851 , issue . It was originally intended as a shorter narrative that would run for only a few weeks . Stowe expanded the story significantly , however , and it was instantly popular , such that several protests were sent to the Era office when she missed an issue . Because of the story 's popularity , the publisher John P. Jewett contacted Stowe about turning the serial into a book . While Stowe questioned if anyone would read Uncle Tom 's Cabin in book form , she eventually consented to the request . Convinced the book would be popular , Jewett made the unusual decision ( for the time ) to have six full - page illustrations by Hammatt Billings engraved for the first printing . Published in book form on March 20 , 1852 , the novel sold 3,000 copies on that day alone , and soon sold out its complete print run . A number of other editions were soon printed ( including a deluxe edition in 1853 , featuring 117 illustrations by Billings ) . In the first year of publication , 300,000 copies of Uncle Tom 's Cabin were sold . At that point , however , `` demand came to an unexpected halt ... No more copies were produced for many years , and if , as is claimed , Abraham Lincoln greeted Stowe in 1862 as ' the little woman who wrote the book that made this great war , ' the work had effectively been out of print for many years . '' Jewett went out of business , and it was not until Ticknor and Fields put the work back in print in November 1862 that demand began again to increase . The book was translated into all major languages , and in the United States it became the second best - selling book after the Bible . A number of the early editions carried an introduction by Rev James Sherman , a Congregational minister in London noted for his abolitionist views . Uncle Tom 's Cabin sold equally well in Britain , with the first London edition appearing in May 1852 and selling 200,000 copies . In a few years over 1.5 million copies of the book were in circulation in Britain , although most of these were infringing copies ( a similar situation occurred in the United States ) . Plot Eliza escapes with her son , Tom sold `` down the River '' Full - page illustration by Hammatt Billings for Uncle Tom 's Cabin depicts Eliza telling Uncle Tom that he has been sold and she is running away to save her child ( first edition : Boston : John P. Jewett and Company , 1852 ) . The book opens with a Kentucky farmer named Arthur Shelby facing the loss of his farm because of debts . Even though he and his wife Emily Shelby believe that they have a benevolent relationship with their slaves , Shelby decides to raise the needed funds by selling two of them -- Uncle Tom , a middle - aged man with a wife and children , and Harry , the son of Emily Shelby 's maid Eliza -- to a slave trader . Emily Shelby is averse to this idea because she had promised her maid that her child would never be sold ; Emily 's son , George Shelby , hates to see Tom go because he sees the man as his friend and mentor . When Eliza overhears Mr. and Mrs. Shelby discussing plans to sell Tom and Harry , Eliza determines to run away with her son . The novel states that Eliza made this decision because she fears losing her only surviving child ( she had already miscarried two children ) . Eliza departs that night , leaving a note of apology to her mistress . Tom is sold and placed on a riverboat which sets sail down the Mississippi River . While on board , Tom meets and befriends a young white girl named Eva . Eva 's father Augustine St. Clare buys Tom from the slave trader and takes him with the family to their home in New Orleans . Tom and Eva begin to relate to one another because of the deep Christian faith they both share . Eliza 's family hunted , Tom 's Life with St. Clare Illustration of Tom and Eva by Hammatt Billings for the 1853 deluxe edition of Uncle Tom 's Cabin . During Eliza 's escape , she meets up with her husband George Harris , who had run away previously . They decide to attempt to reach Canada . However , they are tracked by a slave hunter named Tom Loker . Eventually Loker and his men trap Eliza and her family , causing George to shoot him in the side . Worried that Loker may die , Eliza convinces George to bring the slave hunter to a nearby Quaker settlement for medical treatment . Back in New Orleans , St. Clare debates slavery with his Northern cousin Ophelia who , while opposing slavery , is prejudiced against black people . St. Clare , however , believes he is not biased , even though he is a slave owner . In an attempt to show Ophelia that her views on blacks are wrong , St. Clare purchases Topsy , a young black slave , and asks Ophelia to educate her . After Tom has lived with the St. Clares for two years , Eva grows very ill . Before she dies she experiences a vision of heaven , which she shares with the people around her . As a result of her death and vision , the other characters resolve to change their lives , with Ophelia promising to throw off her personal prejudices against blacks , Topsy saying she will better herself , and St. Clare pledging to free Tom . Tom sold to Simon Legree Before St. Clare can follow through on his pledge , however , he dies after being stabbed outside of a tavern . His wife reneges on her late husband 's vow and sells Tom at auction to a vicious plantation owner named Simon Legree . Legree ( a transplanted northerner ) takes Tom and Emmeline ( whom Legree purchased at the same time ) to rural Louisiana , where they meet Legree 's other slaves . Full page illustration by Hammatt Billings for Uncle Tom 's Cabin ( first edition : Boston : John P. Jewett and Company , 1852 ) . Cassy , another of Legree 's slaves , is shown ministering to Uncle Tom after his whipping . Legree begins to hate Tom when Tom refuses Legree 's order to whip his fellow slave . Legree beats Tom viciously and resolves to crush his new slave 's faith in God . Despite Legree 's cruelty , however , Tom refuses to stop reading his Bible and comforting the other slaves as best he can . While at the plantation , Tom meets Cassy , another of Legree 's slaves . Cassy was previously separated from her son and daughter when they were sold ; unable to endure the pain of seeing another child sold , she killed her third child . At this point Tom Loker returns to the story . Loker has changed as the result of being healed by the Quakers . George , Eliza , and Harry have also obtained their freedom after crossing into Canada . In Louisiana , Uncle Tom almost succumbs to hopelessness as his faith in God is tested by the hardships of the plantation . However , he has two visions , one of Jesus and one of Eva , which renew his resolve to remain a faithful Christian , even unto death . He encourages Cassy to escape , which she does , taking Emmeline with her . When Tom refuses to tell Legree where Cassy and Emmeline have gone , Legree orders his overseers to kill Tom . As Tom is dying , he forgives the overseers who savagely beat him . Humbled by the character of the man they have killed , both men become Christians . Very shortly before Tom 's death , George Shelby ( Arthur Shelby 's son ) arrives to buy Tom 's freedom but finds he is too late . Final section On their boat ride to freedom , Cassy and Emmeline meet George Harris ' sister and accompany her to Canada . Cassy discovers that Eliza is her long - lost daughter who was sold as a child . Now that their family is together again , they travel to France and eventually Liberia , the African nation created for former American slaves . George Shelby returns to the Kentucky farm and frees all his slaves . George tells them to remember Tom 's sacrifice and his belief in the true meaning of Christianity . Major characters Uncle Tom Main article : Uncle Tom Simon Legree assaults Uncle Tom . Uncle Tom , the title character , was initially seen as a noble , long - suffering Christian slave . In more recent years , however , his name has become an epithet directed towards African - Americans who are accused of selling out to whites . Stowe intended Tom to be a `` noble hero '' and praiseworthy person . Throughout the book , far from allowing himself to be exploited , Tom stands up for his beliefs and is grudgingly admired even by his enemies . Eliza Eliza is a slave and personal maid to Mrs. Shelby who escapes to the North with her five - year - old son Harry after he is sold to Mr. Haley . Her husband , George , eventually finds Eliza and Harry in Ohio and emigrates with them to Canada , then France and finally Liberia . The character Eliza was inspired by an account given at Lane Theological Seminary in Cincinnati by John Rankin to Stowe 's husband Calvin , a professor at the school . According to Rankin , in February 1838 a young slave woman , Eliza Harris , had escaped across the frozen Ohio River to the town of Ripley with her child in her arms and stayed at his house on her way further north . Eva Little Eva and Uncle Tom by Edwin Longsden Long Evangeline St. Clare is the daughter of Augustine St. Clare . Eva enters the narrative when Uncle Tom is traveling via steamship to New Orleans to be sold , and he rescues the five - or six - year - old girl from drowning . Eva begs her father to buy Tom , and he becomes the head coachman at the St. Clare house . He spends most of his time with the angelic Eva . Eva often talks about love and forgiveness , even convincing the dour slave girl Topsy that she deserves love . She even touches the heart of her Aunt Ophelia . Eventually Eva falls terminally ill . Before dying , she gives a lock of her hair to each of the slaves , telling them that they must become Christians so that they may see each other in Heaven . On her deathbed , she convinces her father to free Tom , but because of circumstances the promise never materializes . A similar character , also named Little Eva , later appeared in the children 's novel Little Eva : The Flower of the South by Philip J. Cozans ( although this ironically was an anti-Tom novel ) . Simon Legree Simon Legree on the cover of the comic book adaptation of Uncle Tom 's Cabin ( Classic Comics No. 15 , November 1943 issue ) . Simon Legree is a cruel slave owner -- a Northerner by birth -- whose name has become synonymous with greed . He is arguably the novel 's main antagonist . His goal is to demoralize Tom and break him of his religious faith ; he eventually orders Tom whipped to death out of frustration for his slave 's unbreakable belief in God . The novel reveals that , as a young man , he had abandoned his sickly mother for a life at sea and ignored her letter to see her one last time at her deathbed . He sexually exploits Cassy , who despises him , and later sets his designs on Emmeline . It is unclear if Legree is based on any actual individuals . Reports surfaced after the 1870s that Stowe had in mind a wealthy cotton and sugar plantation owner named Meredith Calhoun , who settled on the Red River north of Alexandria , Louisiana . Generally , however , the personal characteristics of Calhoun ( `` highly educated and refined '' ) do not match the uncouthness and brutality of Legree . Calhoun even edited his own newspaper , published in Colfax ( originally `` Calhoun 's Landing '' ) , which was renamed The National Democrat after Calhoun 's death . However , Calhoun 's overseers may have been in line with the hated Legree 's methods and motivations . Other characters The more notable of the secondary and minor characters in Uncle Tom 's Cabin are : Arthur Shelby -- Tom 's master in Kentucky . Shelby is characterized as a `` kind '' slaveowner and a stereotypical Southern gentleman . Emily Shelby -- Arthur Shelby 's wife . She is a deeply religious woman who strives to be a kind and moral influence upon her slaves and is appalled when her husband sells his slaves with a slave trader . As a woman , she has no legal way to stop this , as all property belongs to her husband . George Shelby -- Arthur and Emily 's son , who sees Tom as a friend and as the perfect Christian . Chloe -- Tom 's wife and mother of his children . Augustine St. Clare -- Tom 's third owner and father of Eva . St. Clare is complex , often sarcastic , with a ready wit . After a rocky courtship he marries a woman he grows to hold in contempt , though he is too polite to let it show . St. Clare recognizes the evil in chattel slavery but is not willing to relinquish the wealth it brings him . After his daughter 's death he becomes more sincere in his religious thoughts and starts to read the Bible to Tom . He plans on finally taking action against slavery by freeing his slaves , but his good intentions ultimately come to nothing . Marie St. Clare -- Wife of Augustine , she is a self - absorbed woman without a hint of compassion for those around her , including her own family . Given to an unending list of ( apparently imaginary ) physical maladies , she continually complains about the lack of sympathy she is receiving . She has separated her personal maid , Mammy , from her own two children because they would interfere with her duties . As Marie drives Mammy to exhaustion , she criticizes her for selfishly seeking to attend her own family . Upon the unexpected death of Augustine , Marie countermands the legal process that would have given Tom his freedom . George Harris -- Eliza 's husband . An intelligent and clever half - white slave who is fiercely loyal to his family . Little Eva and Topsy by John R. Neill , 1908 Topsy -- A young slave girl . When asked if she knows who made her , she professes ignorance of both God and a mother , saying `` I s'pect I growed . Do n't think nobody never made me . '' She is transformed by Eva 's love . During the early - to - mid 20th century , several doll manufacturers created Topsy and Topsy - type dolls . The phrase `` growed like Topsy '' ( later `` grew like Topsy '' ) passed into the English language , originally with the specific meaning of unplanned growth , later sometimes just meaning enormous growth . Miss Ophelia -- Augustine St. Clare 's pious , hard - working , abolitionist cousin from Vermont . She displays the ambiguities towards African - Americans felt by many Northerners at the time . She argues against the institution of slavery yet , at least initially , feels repulsed by the slaves as individuals . Prue -- A depressed slave who was forced to let her child starve to death . She takes up drinking in her misery , and is ultimately beaten and killed for it . Quimbo and Sambo -- slaves of Simon Legree who act as overseers of the plantation . On orders from Legree , they savagely whip Tom but afterward tearfully repent of their deeds to Tom , who forgives them as he lies dying . Major themes Uncle Tom 's Cabin is dominated by a single theme : the evil and immorality of slavery . While Stowe weaves other subthemes throughout her text , such as the moral authority of motherhood and the redeeming possibilities offered by Christianity , she emphasizes the connections between these and the horrors of slavery . Stowe sometimes changed the story 's voice so she could give a `` homily '' on the destructive nature of slavery ( such as when a white woman on the steamboat carrying Tom further south states , `` The most dreadful part of slavery , to my mind , is its outrages of feelings and affections -- the separating of families , for example . '' ) . One way Stowe showed the evil of slavery was how this `` peculiar institution '' forcibly separated families from each other . One of the subthemes presented in the novel is temperance . Stowe made it somewhat subtle and in some cases she weaved it into events that would also support the dominant theme . One example of this is when Augustine St. Clare is killed , he attempted to stop a brawl between two inebriated men in a cafe and was stabbed . One other example is the death of the slave woman Prue who was whipped to death for being drunk on a consistent basis ; however , her reasons for doing so is due to the loss of her baby . In the opening of the novel , the fates of Eliza and her son are being discussed between slave owners over wine . Considering that Stowe intended this to be a subtheme , this scene could foreshadow future events that put alcohol in a bad light . `` The fugitives are safe in a free land . '' Illustration by Hammatt Billings for Uncle Tom 's Cabin , first edition . The image shows George Harris , Eliza , Harry , and Mrs. Smyth after they escape to freedom . Because Stowe saw motherhood as the `` ethical and structural model for all of American life '' and also believed that only women had the moral authority to save the United States from the demon of slavery , another major theme of Uncle Tom 's Cabin is the moral power and sanctity of women . Through characters like Eliza , who escapes from slavery to save her young son ( and eventually reunites her entire family ) , or Eva , who is seen as the `` ideal Christian '' , Stowe shows how she believed women could save those around them from even the worst injustices . While later critics have noted that Stowe 's female characters are often domestic clichés instead of realistic women , Stowe 's novel `` reaffirmed the importance of women 's influence '' and helped pave the way for the women 's rights movement in the following decades . Stowe 's puritanical religious beliefs show up in the novel 's final , overarching theme -- the exploration of the nature of Christianity and how she feels Christian theology is fundamentally incompatible with slavery . This theme is most evident when Tom urges St. Clare to `` look away to Jesus '' after the death of St. Clare 's beloved daughter Eva . After Tom dies , George Shelby eulogizes Tom by saying , `` What a thing it is to be a Christian . '' Because Christian themes play such a large role in Uncle Tom 's Cabin -- and because of Stowe 's frequent use of direct authorial interjections on religion and faith -- the novel often takes the `` form of a sermon . '' Style Eliza crossing the icy river , in an 1881 theater poster Uncle Tom 's Cabin is written in the sentimental and melodramatic style common to 19th - century sentimental novels and domestic fiction ( also called women 's fiction ) . These genres were the most popular novels of Stowe 's time and tended to feature female main characters and a writing style which evoked a reader 's sympathy and emotion . Even though Stowe 's novel differs from other sentimental novels by focusing on a large theme like slavery and by having a man as the main character , she still set out to elicit certain strong feelings from her readers . The power in this type of writing can be seen in the reaction of contemporary readers . Georgiana May , a friend of Stowe 's , wrote a letter to the author , saying : `` I was up last night long after one o'clock , reading and finishing Uncle Tom 's Cabin . I could not leave it any more than I could have left a dying child . '' Another reader is described as obsessing on the book at all hours and having considered renaming her daughter Eva . Evidently the death of Little Eva affected a lot of people at that time , because in 1852 , 300 baby girls in Boston alone were given that name . Despite this positive reaction from readers , for decades literary critics dismissed the style found in Uncle Tom 's Cabin and other sentimental novels because these books were written by women and so prominently featured `` women 's sloppy emotions . '' One literary critic said that had the novel not been about slavery , `` it would be just another sentimental novel , '' while another described the book as `` primarily a derivative piece of hack work . '' In The Literary History of the United States , George F. Whicher called Uncle Tom 's Cabin `` Sunday - school fiction '' , full of `` broadly conceived melodrama , humor , and pathos . '' However , in 1985 Jane Tompkins expressed a different view of Uncle Tom 's Cabin with her book In Sensational Designs : The Cultural Work of American Fiction . Tompkins praised the style so many other critics had dismissed , writing that sentimental novels showed how women 's emotions had the power to change the world for the better . She also said that the popular domestic novels of the 19th century , including Uncle Tom 's Cabin , were remarkable for their `` intellectual complexity , ambition , and resourcefulness '' ; and that Uncle Tom 's Cabin offers a `` critique of American society far more devastating than any delivered by better - known critics such as Hawthorne and Melville . '' This view remains the subject of dispute . Writing in 2001 , legal scholar Richard Posner described Uncle Tom 's Cabin as part of the mediocre list of canonical works that emerges when political criteria are imposed on literature . Reactions to the novel Uncle Tom 's Cabin has exerted an influence equaled by few other novels in history . Upon publication , Uncle Tom 's Cabin ignited a firestorm of protest from defenders of slavery ( who created a number of books in response to the novel ) while the book elicited praise from abolitionists . As a best - seller , the novel heavily influenced later protest literature .

The novel was also roundly criticized by slavery supporters . Acclaimed Southern novelist William Gilmore Simms declared the work utterly false , while others called the novel criminal and slanderous . Reactions ranged from a bookseller in Mobile , Alabama , being forced to leave town for selling the novel to threatening letters sent to Stowe ( including a package containing a slave 's severed ear ) . Many Southern writers , like Simms , soon wrote their own books in opposition to Stowe 's novel . Some critics highlighted Stowe 's paucity of life - experience relating to Southern life , saying that it led her to create inaccurate descriptions of the region . For instance , she had never been to a Southern plantation . However , Stowe always said she based the characters of her book on stories she was told by runaway slaves in Cincinnati . It is reported that `` She observed firsthand several incidents which galvanized her to write ( the ) famous anti-slavery novel . Scenes she observed on the Ohio River , including seeing a husband and wife being sold apart , as well as newspaper and magazine accounts and interviews , contributed material to the emerging plot . '' A Key to Uncle Tom 's Cabin , first edition cover , 1853 In response to these criticisms , in 1853 Stowe published A Key to Uncle Tom 's Cabin , an attempt to document the veracity of the novel 's depiction of slavery . In the book , Stowe discusses each of the major characters in Uncle Tom 's Cabin and cites `` real life equivalents '' to them while also mounting a more `` aggressive attack on slavery in the South than the novel itself had . '' Like the novel , A Key to Uncle Tom 's Cabin was a best - seller . However , while Stowe claimed A Key to Uncle Tom 's Cabin documented her previously consulted sources , she actually read many of the cited works only after the publication of her novel . A major part of the Key was Stowe 's critique of how the legal system supported slavery and licensed owners ' mistreatment of slaves . Thus , Stowe put more than slavery on trial ; she put the law on trial . This continued an important theme of Uncle Tom 's Cabin -- that the shadow of law brooded over the institution of slavery and allowed owners to mistreat slaves and then avoid punishment for their mistreatment . In some cases , as Stowe pointed out , it even prevented kind owners from freeing their slaves . Despite these criticisms , the novel still captured the imagination of many Americans . According to Stowe 's son , when Abraham Lincoln met her in 1862 Lincoln commented , `` So this is the little lady who started this great war . '' Historians are undecided if Lincoln actually said this line , and in a letter that Stowe wrote to her husband a few hours after meeting with Lincoln no mention of this comment was made . Since then , many writers have credited this novel with focusing Northern anger at the injustices of slavery and the Fugitive Slave Law and helping to fuel the abolitionist movement . Union general and politician James Baird Weaver said that the book convinced him to become active in the abolitionist movement . Uncle Tom 's Cabin also created great interest in the United Kingdom . The first London edition appeared in May 1852 and sold 200,000 copies . Some of this interest was because of British antipathy to America . As one prominent writer explained , `` The evil passions which Uncle Tom gratified in England were not hatred or vengeance ( of slavery ) , but national jealousy and national vanity . We have long been smarting under the conceit of America -- we are tired of hearing her boast that she is the freest and the most enlightened country that the world has ever seen . Our clergy hate her voluntary system -- our Tories hate her democrats -- our Whigs hate her parvenus -- our Radicals hate her litigiousness , her insolence , and her ambition . All parties hailed Mrs. Stowe as a revolter from the enemy . '' Charles Francis Adams , the American minister to Britain during the war , argued later that `` Uncle Tom 's Cabin ; or Life among the Lowly , published in 1852 , exercised , largely from fortuitous circumstances , a more immediate , considerable and dramatic world - influence than any other book ever printed . '' A French edition , translated by M.L. Carion ( or by ( Anne - ) Louise Swanton - Belloc ? ( 1796 -- 1881 ) ) , appeared by 1853 published in Cambrai and in Paris . By 1857 , the novel had been translated into 20 languages , including two independent translations into Slovene just one year after its original publication , which started the since - then uninterrupted dialogue between American authors and Slovene translators and readers . Later , it was translated into almost every major language , including Chinese ( with translator Lin Shu creating the first Chinese translation of an American novel in 1901 ) and Amharic ( with the 1930 translation created in support of Ethiopian efforts to end the suffering of blacks in that nation ) . The book was so widely read that Sigmund Freud reported a number of patients with sado - masochistic tendencies who he believed had been influenced by reading about the whipping of slaves in Uncle Tom 's Cabin . A short article which was published in the oficial newspaper of the Salvadoran government in July 22 , 1853 praised Harriet Beecher Stowe and her book 's success . Literary significance and criticism As the first widely read political novel in the United States , Uncle Tom 's Cabin greatly influenced development of not only American literature but also protest literature in general . Later books which owe a large debt to Uncle Tom 's Cabin include The Jungle by Upton Sinclair and Silent Spring by Rachel Carson . Eliza crosses the Ohio on the cover of Pictures and Stories from Uncle Tom 's Cabin , Boston : John P. Jewett & Co. , 1853 . Despite this undisputed significance , Uncle Tom 's Cabin has been called `` a blend of children 's fable and propaganda . '' The novel has also been dismissed by a number of literary critics as `` merely a sentimental novel , '' while critic George Whicher stated in his Literary History of the United States that `` Nothing attributable to Mrs. Stowe or her handiwork can account for the novel 's enormous vogue ; its author 's resources as a purveyor of Sunday - school fiction were not remarkable . She had at most a ready command of broadly conceived melodrama , humor , and pathos , and of these popular sentiments she compounded her book . '' Other critics , though , have praised the novel . Edmund Wilson stated that `` To expose oneself in maturity to Uncle Tom 's Cabin may ... prove a startling experience . '' Jane Tompkins states that the novel is one of the classics of American literature and wonders if many literary critics dismiss the book because it was simply too popular during its day . Over the years scholars have postulated a number of theories about what Stowe was trying to say with the novel ( aside from the obvious themes , such as condemning slavery ) . For example , as an ardent Christian and active abolitionist , Stowe placed many of her religious beliefs into the novel . Some scholars have stated that Stowe saw her novel as offering a solution to the moral and political dilemma that troubled many slavery opponents : whether engaging in prohibited behavior was justified in opposing evil . Was the use of violence to oppose the violence of slavery and the breaking of proslavery laws morally defensible ? Which of Stowe 's characters should be emulated , the passive Uncle Tom or the defiant George Harris ? Stowe 's solution was similar to Ralph Waldo Emerson 's : God 's will would be followed if each person sincerely examined his principles and acted on them . Scholars have also seen the novel as expressing the values and ideas of the Free Will Movement . In this view , the character of George Harris embodies the principles of free labor , while the complex character of Ophelia represents those Northerners who condoned compromise with slavery . Dinah , who operates on passion . During the course of the novel Ophelia is transformed , just as the Republican Party ( three years later ) proclaimed that the North must transform itself and stand up for its antislavery principles . Feminist theory can also be seen at play in Stowe 's book , with the novel as a critique of the patriarchal nature of slavery . For Stowe , blood relations rather than paternalistic relations between masters and slaves formed the basis of families . Moreover , Stowe viewed national solidarity as an extension of a person 's family , thus feelings of nationality stemmed from possessing a shared race . Consequently , she advocated African colonization for freed slaves and not amalgamation into American society . The book has also been seen as an attempt to redefine masculinity as a necessary step toward the abolition of slavery . In this view , abolitionists had begun to resist the vision of aggressive and dominant men that the conquest and colonization of the early 19th century had fostered . In order to change the notion of manhood so that men could oppose slavery without jeopardizing their self - image or their standing in society , some abolitionists drew on principles of women 's suffrage and Christianity as well as passivism , and praised men for cooperation , compassion , and civic spirit . Others within the abolitionist movement argued for conventional , aggressive masculine action . All the men in Stowe 's novel are representations of either one kind of man or the other . Creation and popularization of stereotypes Illustration of Sam from the 1888 `` New Edition '' of Uncle Tom 's Cabin . The character of Sam helped create the stereotype of the lazy , carefree `` happy darky '' . Some modern scholars and readers have criticized the book for supposedly condescending racist descriptions of the black characters ' appearances , speech , and behavior , as well as the passive nature of Uncle Tom in accepting his fate . The novel 's creation and use of common stereotypes about African Americans is significant because Uncle Tom 's Cabin was the best - selling novel in the world during the 19th century . As a result , the book ( along with illustrations from the book and associated stage productions ) was accused of playing a major role in permanently ingraining such stereotypes into the American psyche . In the 1960s and 1970s , the Black Power and Black Arts Movements attacked the novel , claiming that the character of Uncle Tom engaged in `` race betrayal '' , and that Tom made slaves out to be worse than slave owners . Among the stereotypes of blacks in Uncle Tom 's Cabin are the `` happy darky '' ( in the lazy , carefree character of Sam ) ; the light - skinned tragic mulatto as a sex object ( in the characters of Eliza , Cassy , and Emmeline ) ; the affectionate , dark - skinned female mammy ( through several characters , including Mammy , a cook at the St. Clare plantation ) ; the pickaninny stereotype of black children ( in the character of Topsy ) ; the Uncle Tom , an African American who is too eager to please white people . Stowe intended Tom to be a `` noble hero '' and a Christ - like figure who , like Jesus at his crucifixion , forgives the people responsible for his death . The false stereotype of Tom as a `` subservient fool who bows down to the white man '' , and the resulting derogatory term `` Uncle Tom '' , resulted from staged `` Tom Shows '' , which replaced Tom 's grim death with an upbeat ending where Tom causes his oppressors to see the error of their ways , and they all reconcile happily . Stowe had no control over these shows and their alteration of her story . These negative associations have to some extent obscured the historical impact of Uncle Tom 's Cabin as a `` vital antislavery tool '' . James Baldwin , in a 1949 essay `` Everybody 's Protest Novel '' , called Uncle Tom 's Cabin a `` very bad novel '' ... `` ruined by its `` self - righteous , virtuous sentimentality '' , and stated that Stowe was less a novelist than an `` impassioned pamphleteer '' , i.e. , a propagandist for the antislavery cause . Edward Rothstein has claimed that Baldwin missed the point and that the purpose of the novel was `` to treat slavery not as a political issue but as an individually human one -- and ultimately a challenge to Christianity itself '' ; as a propaganda work it need not necessarily be great literature in order to succeed in its goals . In recent years , however , scholars such as Henry Louis Gates Jr. have re-examined Uncle Tom 's Cabin , stating that the book is a `` central document in American race relations and a significant moral and political exploration of the character of those relations '' . Anti-Tom Literature Title page for Aunt Phillis 's Cabin by Mary Eastman , one of many examples of anti-Tom literature In response to Uncle Tom 's Cabin , writers in the Southern United States produced a number of books to rebut Stowe 's novel . This so - called Anti-Tom literature generally took a pro-slavery viewpoint , arguing that the issues of slavery as depicted in Stowe 's book were overblown and incorrect . The novels in this genre tended to feature a benign white patriarchal master and a pure wife , both of whom presided over childlike slaves in a benevolent extended family style plantation . The novels either implied or directly stated that African Americans were a childlike people unable to live their lives without being directly overseen by white people . Among the most famous anti-Tom books are The Sword and the Distaff by William Gilmore Simms , Aunt Phillis 's Cabin by Mary Henderson Eastman , and The Planter 's Northern Bride by Caroline Lee Hentz , with the last author having been a close personal friend of Stowe 's when the two lived in Cincinnati . Simms ' book was published a few months after Stowe 's novel , and it contains a number of sections and discussions disputing Stowe 's book and her view of slavery . Hentz 's 1854 novel , widely read at the time but now largely forgotten , offers a defense of slavery as seen through the eyes of a northern woman -- the daughter of an abolitionist , no less -- who marries a southern slave owner . In the decade between the publication of Uncle Tom 's Cabin and the start of the American Civil War , between twenty and thirty anti-Tom books were published . Among these novels are two books titled Uncle Tom 's Cabin As It Is ( one by W.L. Smith and the other by C.H. Wiley ) and a book by John Pendleton Kennedy . More than half of these anti-Tom books were written by white women , with Simms commenting at one point about the `` Seemingly poetic justice of having the Northern woman ( Stowe ) answered by a Southern woman . '' Dramatic adaptations George Aiken 's original manuscript for his stage adaptation of Uncle Tom 's Cabin , 1852 . From the George C. Howard and Family Collection at the Harry Ransom Center . Tom shows Main article : Tom show Even though Uncle Tom 's Cabin was the best - selling novel of the 19th century , far more Americans of that time saw the story as a stage play or musical than read the book . Eric Lott , in his book Uncle Tomitudes : Racial Melodrama and Modes of Production , estimates that at least three million people saw these plays , ten times the book 's first - year sales . Given the lax copyright laws of the time , stage plays based on Uncle Tom 's Cabin -- `` Tom shows '' -- began to appear while the novel was still being serialized . Stowe refused to authorize dramatization of her work because of her distrust of drama ( although she did eventually go to see George L. Aiken 's version and , according to Francis Underwood , was `` delighted '' by Caroline Howard 's portrayal of Topsy ) . Aiken 's stage production continued as `` the most popular play in England and America for seventy - five years . '' Stowe 's refusal to authorize a particular dramatic version left the field clear for any number of adaptations , some launched for ( various ) political reasons and others as simply commercial theatrical ventures . No international copyright laws existed at the time . The book and plays were translated into several languages ; Stowe received no money , which could have meant as much as `` three fourths of her just and legitimate wages . '' On the plays All Tom shows appear to have incorporated elements of melodrama and blackface minstrelsy . These plays varied tremendously in their politics -- some faithfully reflected Stowe 's sentimentalized antislavery politics , while others were more moderate , or even pro-slavery . Many of the productions featured demeaning racial caricatures of Black people , while a number of productions also featured songs by Stephen Foster ( including `` My Old Kentucky Home '' , `` Old Folks at Home '' , and `` Massa 's in the Cold Ground '' ) . The best - known Tom Shows were those of George Aiken and H.J. Conway . The version by Aiken is perhaps the best known stage adaptation , released just a few months after the novel was published . This six - act behemoth also set an important precedent by being the first show on Broadway to stand on its own , without the performance of other entertainments or any afterpiece . Most of Aiken 's dialogue is lifted verbatim from Stowe 's novel and it included four full musical numbers written by the producer , George C. Howard . Another legacy of this adaptation is its reliance upon very different locations all portrayed on the same stage . This reliance led to large sets and set a precedent for the future days of film . By focusing on the stark and desperate situations of his characters , Aiken appealed to the emotions of his audiences . By combining this melodramatic approach with the content of Stowe 's novel , Aiken helped to create a powerful visual indictment against the institution of slavery . The many stage variants of Uncle Tom 's Cabin `` dominated northern popular culture ... for several years '' during the 19th century , and the plays were still being performed in the early 20th century . One of the unique and controversial variants of the Tom Shows was Walt Disney 's 1933 Mickey 's Mellerdrammer . Mickey 's Mellerdrammer is a United Artists film released in 1933 . The title is a corruption of `` melodrama '' , thought to harken back to the earliest minstrel shows , as a film short based on a production of Uncle Tom 's Cabin by the Disney characters . In that film , Mickey Mouse and friends stage their own production of Uncle Tom 's Cabin . Mickey Mouse was already black - colored , but the advertising poster for the film shows Mickey dressed in blackface with exaggerated , orange lips ; bushy , white sidewhiskers made out of cotton ; and his trademark white gloves . Film adaptations Main article : Uncle Tom 's Cabin ( film adaptations ) Uncle Tom 's Cabin has been adapted several times as a film . Most of these movies were created during the silent film era ( Uncle Tom 's Cabin was the most - filmed book of that time period ) . Because of the continuing popularity of both the book and `` Tom '' shows , audiences were already familiar with the characters and the plot , making it easier for the film to be understood without spoken words . There has been no Hollywood treatment since the end of the silent era . The first film version of Uncle Tom 's Cabin was one of the earliest full - length movies ( although full - length at that time meant between 10 and 14 minutes ) . This 1903 film , directed by Edwin S. Porter , used white actors in blackface in the major roles and black performers only as extras . This version was evidently similar to many of the `` Tom Shows '' of earlier decades and featured numerous stereotypes about blacks ( such as having the slaves dance in almost any context , including at a slave auction ) . Still from Edwin S. Porter 's 1903 version of Uncle Tom 's Cabin , which was one of the first full - length movies . The still shows Eliza telling Uncle Tom that he has been sold and that she is running away to save her child . In 1910 , a three - reel Vitagraph Company of America production was directed by J. Stuart Blackton and adapted by Eugene Mullin . According to The Dramatic Mirror , this film was `` a decided innovation '' in motion pictures and `` the first time an American company '' released a dramatic film in three reels . Until then , full - length movies of the time were 15 minutes long and contained only one reel of film . The movie starred Florence Turner , Mary Fuller , Edwin R. Phillips , Flora Finch , Genevieve Tobin and Carlyle Blackwell , Sr . At least four more movie adaptations were created in the next two decades . The last silent film version was released in 1927 . Directed by Harry A. Pollard ( who played Uncle Tom in a 1913 release of Uncle Tom 's Cabin ) , this two - hour movie was more than a year in production and was the third most expensive picture of the silent era ( at a cost of $1.8 million ) . The black actor Charles Gilpin was originally cast in the title role , but he was fired after the studio decided his `` portrayal was too aggressive . '' James B. Lowe took over the character of Tom . The screenplay takes many liberties with the original book , including altering the Eliza and George subplot , introducing the Civil War and Emancipation , and combining the characters of Eliza and Emmeline . Another difference occurs after Tom dies : Simon Legree is haunted by an apparitional vision of the late Tom and falls to his death in a futile effort to attack the ghostly image . Black media outlets of the time praised the film , but the studio -- fearful of a backlash from Southern and white film audiences -- ended up cutting out controversial scenes , including the film 's opening sequence at a slave auction ( in which a mother is torn away from her baby ) . The story was adapted by Harvey F. Pollard , Thew and A.P. Younger , with titles by Walter Anthony . It starred James B. Lowe , Virginia Grey , George Siegmann , Margarita Fischer , Mona Ray and Madame Sul - Te - Wan . For several decades after the end of the silent film era , the subject matter of Stowe 's novel was judged too sensitive for further film interpretation . In 1946 , Metro - Goldwyn - Mayer considered filming the story but ceased production after protests led by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People . A movie poster from Kroger Babb 's 1965 production of Uncle Tom 's Cabin A German - language version , Onkel Toms Hütte , directed by Géza von Radványi , was released in 1965 and was presented in the United States by exploitation film presenter Kroger Babb . The most recent film version was a television broadcast in 1987 , directed by Stan Lathan and adapted by John Gay . It starred Avery Brooks , Phylicia Rashad , Edward Woodward , Jenny Lewis , Samuel L. Jackson and Endyia Kinney . In addition to film adaptations , versions of Uncle Tom 's Cabin have been produced in other formats . In Brazil , the adapted version A Cabana do Pai Tomás was produced as a TV soap opera by Rede Globo ; with 205 episodes , it was aired from July 1969 to March 1970 . Versions of Uncle Tom 's Cabin were featured in a number of animated cartoons , including Walt Disney 's `` Mickey 's Mellerdrammer '' ( 1933 ) , which features Mickey Mouse performing the play in blackface with large orange lips ; `` Uncle Tom 's Bungalow '' ( 1937 ) , a Warner Brother 's cartoon supervised by Tex Avery ; `` Eliza on Ice '' ( 1944 ) , one of the earliest Mighty Mouse cartoons produced by Paul Terry ; `` Uncle Tom 's Cabana '' ( 1947 ) , a six - minute cartoon directed by Tex Avery , and the Bugs Bunny cartoon `` Southern Fried Rabbit '' ( 1953 ) , wherein Bugs disguises himself as Uncle Tom and sings `` My Old Kentucky Home '' in order to cross the Mason - Dixon line . Uncle Tom 's Cabin has influenced numerous movies , including The Birth of a Nation . This controversial 1915 film set the dramatic climax in a slave cabin similar to that of Uncle Tom , where several white Southerners unite with their former enemy ( Yankee soldiers ) to defend , according to the film 's caption , their `` Aryan birthright . '' According to scholars , this reuse of such a familiar image of a slave cabin would have resonated with , and been understood by , audiences of the time . Other movies influenced by or making use of Uncle Tom 's Cabin include Dimples ( a 1936 Shirley Temple film ) , Uncle Tom 's Uncle , ( a 1926 Our Gang episode ) , its 1932 remake Spanky , the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical The King and I ( in which a ballet called `` Small House of Uncle Thomas '' is performed in traditional Siamese style ) , and Gangs of New York ( in which Leonardo DiCaprio and Daniel Day - Lewis 's characters attend an imagined wartime adaptation of Uncle Tom 's Cabin ) . See also Twelve Years a Slave ( 1853 ) , bestselling narrative of free negro Solomon Northup published soon after Uncle Tom 's Cabin ( 1852 ) , which documents facts supporting Stowe 's fictional narrative in detail , as the area where Northup was enslaved was close to the fictional setting of the plantation where much of Stowe 's narrative takes place .

Marlene King and portrayed by Tammin Sursok . Jenna is one of the main antagonists in the TV show . Her blindness is a result of a prank orchestrated by Alison DiLaurentis , making it the Liars ' deadliest secret until Hanna Marin accidentally runs over Archer Dunhill . Although in the novels Jenna is murdered in Wanted , in the show she is still alive . Jenna is a major recurring character in the first five seasons , being absent for the sixth , and returning as a secondary antagonist in the seventh , acting as a helper to Uber A and finally joining the A-Team .

Although Jenna is resentful towards Alison and her friends , she volunteers to do a speech at Alison 's memorial dedication in `` Please , Do Talk About Me When I 'm Gone '' . She shares only kind words , mentioning Alison 's visit to her in the hospital , claiming that Ali made her stronger and more in touch with her identity . Jenna also proves she can be slightly abusive and controlling , as she slaps Toby when he tells her he will `` never touch her like that again '' , and asks who he thinks he 's talking to . Jenna is known to show a much sadder and vulnerable side than she usually does when around people she does n't know . She has made a beautiful pottery piece , but is frustrated that she can not see anything , not even the shadows it produces when lit . Rivalries and friendships ( edit ) Jenna is known for her rivalries with Alison DiLaurentis , Spencer Hastings , Toby Cavanaugh , Hanna Marin , Aria Montgomery , and Emily Fields . Alison originally offered Jenna a chance to become a member of her clique , but rejected her request , leading Alison and the Liars to blind her , an event later nicknamed `` The Jenna Thing '' . Marshall had romantic feelings for her step - brother Toby Cavanaugh in which she forced herself on him . However , he did n't return those feelings which angered her . When Jenna finds out that Toby has developed romantic feelings for Emily , she reacts very spitefully . When he is arrested during the first season , Marshall discloses to him that she turned him in to the police so he 'd come home in hopes of continuing their sexual relationship . In `` Wanted : Dead or Alive '' it 's divulged that Jenna and Charlotte DiLaurentis were great friends for a long time . Apparently , Mona told Charlotte everything about the Liars shortly after being admitted to Radley Sanitarium . For Charlotte , Jenna was a `` celebrity '' because of everything she went through . Marshall knew Charlotte and Archer Dunhill were together , and helped him develop the Elliott Rollins alias and get a job as a psychiatrist . Jenna also attempted to track down the whereabouts of Charlotte 's birth mother , Mary Drake . Marshall is currently working for the newest incarnation of `` A '' , commonly known as `` A.D. '' , though she 's doing so anonymously . Relationships ( edit ) Jenna was romantically linked to Garrett Reynolds . The two began a relationship in `` For Whom The Bell Tools '' , as it 's shown when Reynolds shows up in Jenna 's room and kisses her . However , it was revealed the two were linked to the N.A.T Club , as they appeared together on the night of Alison DiLaurentis 's disappearance . Jenna later dumps Garrett when he is arrested for the murder of Alison DiLaurentis . Marshall was also romantically linked to Noel Kahn . The two were seen together on a romantic evening by Noel 's ex-girlfriend Mona Vanderwaal and Hanna Marin . They dated for a while and seem to have broken up some point later in the third season . However , they maintained a friendship since during the seventh season , both return to Rosewood in attempt to steal Charlotte 's money to pay another eye surgery for Jenna . Marshall claims to the authorities she pretended to act as Kahn 's partner because he murdered Sara Harvey and she feared to be his subsequent victim . As revealed in `` A dAngerous Game '' , Jenna and Shana seemed to be in a romantic relationship although it is somewhat ambiguous . Throughout the fourth season they are seen together , although no kissing or explicit declarations of love are shown . Shana is confirmed to have been madly in love with Jenna , and it 's made clear in the fifth season when Marshall mourns her death . Novels storylines ( edit ) Jenna was popularly connected with the fairytale princess Snow White . She had pale skin , long black hair , cherry - colored lips , and soft green eyes . She also was quite tall and had a cute figure . Alison often called her ' Snow ' but used the nickname in a mean way . Jenna was known to be very quiet and has a sweet , kind personality . Whenever she takes off her glasses , it can be seen that she has small bruises and cuts reaching from her eyes to her nose . It was said it could be from her stepbrother Toby . Jenna was often the target of Alison and her crew , with jokes about her likeness to Snow White and pranks such as giving her apples dipped in toilet water . There might have been some resentment among the group about her good looks , since Hanna mentioned she was `` pretty in an annoying way . '' One evening , Ali convinced the others to support her plan to get revenge on Jenna 's stepbrother , Toby Cavanaugh , for spying on them while they were changing . Ali snuck into the Cavanaugh 's yard , grabbed one of Toby 's fireworks , and accidentally launched it into his tree house . Alison sees Toby and Jenna together and accidentally set the firework off into the tree house , blinding Jenna and burning it down . Alison blackmails Toby into taking the blame for the incident and he is sent away . Later the girls would come to call the infamous incident `` The Jenna Thing . '' However , three years later , during a storm and power outage , Jenna reveals to Aria that she not only knew Ali set off the firework , but they planned it together as well , to get rid of Toby . Jenna tells Aria that her parents gave Toby a warning : if he kept setting off fireworks from his tree house , he 'd be sent away to boarding school . Their plan worked , but it cost Jenna her sight and she left Rosewood Day to attend a school for the blind in Philadelphia . By the time the second `` A '' wreaks significant havoc in the girls ' lives , it becomes clear to Aria that Jenna knows vital information about the culprit . Unfortunately , before Aria can ask her what she knows , Jenna is murdered by this `` A '' and found dead in a ditch in her parents ' backyard . In Wanted , it is revealed that the real Alison DiLaurentis is the new `` A '' and her murderer . Television storylines ( edit ) In October 2008 , Jenna moved to Rosewood after her mother married Toby 's father and quickly became popular at Rosewood High School . Alison invited her to join her group of friends but she declined . This led to a long - term rivalry between the two . Jenna is a very aggressive and manipulative person . She forced her step - brother , Toby , into a sexual relationship with her and threatened to accuse him of forcing himself on her . After being blinded by Alison and her friends , Jenna developed a hatred and grudge against all of them . Jenna seems to have been involved with the N.A.T. Club before Alison went missing . She was not sorry for Alison 's passing and has continued to keep the Liars on her radar to keep them from revealing her secrets . Season 1 ( edit ) The character is officially introduced in the pilot episode , being guided into Alison DiLaurentis ' funeral by her step - brother Toby Cavanaugh , much to everyone 's surprise . Marshall is led out to a car by Toby moments after the memorial service concludes . In `` The Jenna Thing '' , Marshall appears in the beginning of the episode walking into the Apple Rose Grille in a time when the Liars happened to be there . When Jenna sits down , they quietly get up and leave . Marshall later appears at the school cafeteria when Aria Montgomery invites her to sit with her friends . It 's an awkward lunch , seeing as Jenna makes the Liars nervous and insinuates that the group 's dynamic changed since Alison 's absence . Marshall discloses to them that Ali paid a visit to her while she was admitted at the hospital . Jenna affirms that everyone misunderstood Alison but she knew exactly who Ali was . The girls remain silent as a flashback ensues to the fateful events of the night they blinded her . At one point , Marshall breaks the silence by picking up Spencer 's beeping phone , when she receives a text . Spencer turns paranoid after getting a text from `` A '' with Jenna in such close proximity . No one found out about `` The Jenna Thing , '' but with Toby 's knowledge of the incident , the Liars suspected the secret was going to slip . Jenna is later seated on a bench during Spencer 's run , using a phone for the blind . Marshall orders the item to send a text , then proceeds to turn around and face where Spencer 's standing . During `` To Kill a Mocking Girl '' , Jenna is seen walking down the school 's hallway with Toby while the Liars whisper to each other . She makes a remark on their blabbing , saying `` Almost feels like Alison 's still here . '' Later when Emily Fields comes to thank Cavanaugh for helping her with Ben , Jenna is present , unbeknownst to Fields . After Em leaves , Jenna questions Toby about the reason why Emily thanked him but he assures his step - sister it is n't what she 's thinking . Throughout `` Reality Bites Me '' , Jenna is seen by Hanna Marin on her way to work at Dr Ackard 's office . Jenna enters the elevator and puts on her trademark lipstick . Marshall asks Hanna if she likes the color ( believed to be Jungle Red , Alison 's favorite ) . It is undisclosed whether Jenna knew if she was talking to Hanna . In `` There 's No Place Like Homecoming '' , Jenna and her seeing eye dog Shadow visit Emily at her house after homecoming . Emily is resting after having been hospitalized . Marshall comes under the guise of being sympathetic to Emily 's plight , even going as far as bringing her cookies . Jenna found out that Toby 's psychological profile is missing because the cops went looking for it , and knows the Liars took the file , having overheard them talking about it at Homecoming . She wants Emily to return the document , so she can protect her secret of having forced her step - brother into a sexual relationship . Emily is open to fulfilling Jenna 's request , as she feels partially responsible for Jenna 's accident , something Jenna does not fail to mention repeatedly . Fields tries to get the file back , but can not contact the Liars while her mother is around . Aria later throws the file into the river . However , it seems the file makes its way into `` A '' 's hands anyway , when a figure is seen gingerly retrieving the pages from the water . When Jenna asks for the file after Emily returns to Rosewood High , Fields vaguely tells her that it 's gone . Marshall is put off , after being placed in the position where she is forced to trust Emily . Throughout `` Please , Do Talk About Me When I 'm Gone '' , Jenna is still resentful towards Alison but volunteers to make a speech at her memorial dedication . She shares only kind words , mentioning Ali 's visit to her in the hospital , further claiming that she made her stronger and more in touch with her identity . During `` The New Normal '' , Jenna hails a cab after Toby 's house arrest bracelet is removed , so the two can share a ride . Marshall is very upset when he declines her offer and chooses to go with Spencer instead . In `` The Badass Seed '' , Jenna offers to play flute for the school play , `` The Bad Seed '' and tells Ezra Fitz that she is fascinated with the play and its theme regarding the nature of evil . Marshall is seen talking to Ian Thomas in the by a similar name , taking a `` Neuman 's '' shopping bag from him , though the contents are n't revealed . With Mr. Fitz as her guide , Jenna writes an essay to be submitted to a contest with vague references to the event that blinded her . The essay centers around a blind girl that senses more than people with an intact eye sight do and heavily implies that her blindness was n't an accident . The content leads Ezra to believe her brother is guilty , not the girls . Ezra is fascinated by the story and believes it has a chance at winning . At the end of the episode , Aria confides to Mr. Fitz about who the real perpetrators were . Jenna makes a comment in regards to Aria 's romantic relationship with Fitz , startling Montgomery , because it 's unclear how Marshall has knowledge on the couple . Throughout `` Someone to Watch Over Me '' , Jenna is seen with the owl that Hanna thought was a gift for her from Caleb . However , it 's actually a flashdrive that Jenna gave Caleb to place information on his girlfriend and later return to her . As the Liars put the pieces together , they realize that Marshall had been paying Caleb to spy on Hanna and look for a key in her house that she thought Ali had given to one of the girls . A hurt Marin slaps Jenna at the girls ' bathroom in Rosewood High for what she did and Marshall proceeds to wheep over it . During `` For Whom the Bells Toll '' , footage of Jenna forcing Toby into intercourse is uncovered . The Liars decide to approach Marshall for answers . Knowing they have the videos , Jenna reveals that Alison visited her at the hospital , but threatened Marshall to never tell anyone about her role in the prank or she 'd unveil footage of Jenna sexually abusing her step - brother . Her supposed last words to Jenna were , `` if you ever come back to Rosewood , I 'll bury you '' . The girls then realize that , when Ali told them to `` wait for it , '' she was referring to the video . Jenna dials Ian and warns him that the Liars hold possession of the video , although he assures her the situation is under control . Officer ( ( List of Pretty Little Liars characters # Garret Reynolds Garrett Reynolds , who had reassured Emily that he was on the Liars ' side , then shows up in Marshall 's room , and the two share a kiss , revealing they 're in a relationship . Season 2 ( edit ) In the second season , the character first appears in `` It 's Alive '' , when she and Garrett are seen spying on Jason DiLaurentis and discussing the ominous - sounding `` Jason thing . '' Later , Jenna is secretly standing nearby as Garrett preps the girls for interrogation after Spencer 's near death experience . Returning in `` My Name Is Trouble '' , Jenna takes a pottery class at Hollis College , alongside Aria . Aria pretends to be Anita , in order to seclude her identity from Marshall . It 's interesting to note that when she deduced Aria was Anita , she showcased a much vulnerable side than she usually does . Jenna has made a beautiful pottery piece , but is frustrated that she can not see anything , not even the shadows it produces when lit . Aria tries to comfort her through praising her work , but when Marshall discovers that it was Montgomery , she goes ballistic , screaming at her to get out . During `` Surface Tension '' , Aria finds Jenna 's pottery piece among Mike 's belongings . She assumes that her brother stole the item from the Cavanaugh house , but he asserts his sister that he took it from Garrett 's apartment . This causes Aria to realize that Reynolds can not be trusted . In `` Save the Date '' , the Liars witness Garrett pull up to Toby and Jenna 's house in his car . It could go either way , considering Garrett 's parents live across the street . However , Reynolds heads for Jenna 's place , and the girls follow to watch . Inside , Jenna removes her robe to reveal the black lace lingerie she was seen buying in an earlier episode . She removes her glasses , and the two start kissing passionately . Garrett and Jenna do a lot of spying together in his sports car . There , they constantly refer to `` The Jason Thing , '' an ill - defined incident that may be linked to Alison 's death . When Jason kisses Aria , Jenna expresses her fear that the two will hook up , and Jason will reveal his secret to Aria . The latest development is the possibility that Jenna will have a cornea replacement , which means that she may regain her vision at some point in the near future . Toby fills Spencer in on the details of the matter after she overhears Jenna discussing the possibility with a nurse . During `` I Must Confess '' , Jenna teases the girls after the assembly , asserting that Alison could have used the lesson on bullying . Emily shoots the same accusation back at Jenna and snidely tells her to move her walking stick . Throughout `` Over My Dead Body '' , someone shows up to the precinct , prompting Garrett to say `` you should n't be here . '' He was presumably talking to Jenna . Garrett then leads Marshall to the other side of the glass of the investigation room . He locks the door , and Jenna laments that she can not see their faces . During a conversation a conversation afterwards , it 's revealed that they wrote the note to Jason , making him suspect of murdering his own sister , and that Jason figured out that he is not the culprit . Garrett hands Jenna a note and instructs her to take it home and burn it . Marshall asks whether it 's page 5 , and Reynolds does n't contradict her assumption . Before kissing him goodbye , Jenna remarks , `` she deserved to die like that '' . In the prequel episode `` The First Secret '' Jenna is first mentioned by Toby in a conversation with Emily . While unpacking some of Marshall 's belongings from the moving truck , Cavanaugh describes her as someone who obtains whatever she wants . Later , at the costume shop , Alison spots then - new girl Jenna purchasing a Lady GaGa costume . Ali attempts to intimidate her into buying a different disguise , declaring that that she picked a similar outfit . Marshall noncommittally agrees to think about a change of heart , but turns her attention away from Alison . Before walking away , Ali offers her name , to which Jenna replies that she already knows it . They smile pleasantly , if not falsely , at each other , and Alison strolls away . At Noel 's Halloween party , Alison notices Jenna dressed as Lady GaGa after all . Noel , dressed as a gynecologist , goes right to her . When a Lady GaGa song starts playing , Ali approaches Marshall . Jenna is flanked by boys , but they all scram when Alison orders them to . Ali then offers to befriend Jenna , thereby making her popularity in Rosewood a guaranteed thing . However , Marshall turns her down and says that she likes to pick her own friends . When Jenna saunters away victoriously , Mona declares her the best Gaga , and the two introduce themselves , seemingly starting a friendship . Outside on the porch , a sulky Ali jealously calls Jenna a slut . Back at the party , Emily is seen slow - dancing with Ben on the dance floor . Jenna is seductively dancing nearby , and Emily ogles appreciatively at her curves and moves . Alison turns her eyes from one to the other , and approaches Emily , alluding to her consealed sexual orientation . During `` A Hot Piece of A '' , Marshall argues with Garrett over the phone and refuses to let him in the house . Reynolds states that it was a mistake for them to bring a third person in on their plan . Later , she leaves for her eye surgery in Boston without Garrett . Throughout `` Let the Water Hold Me Down '' , it 's revealed that Jenna went to the Kristen August Rehabilitation Center For The Blind after the `` Jenna Thing '' happened . In `` Eye of the Beholder '' , Jenna 's eye is bandaged , implying she got the surgery . During the episode , someone lures Jenna to the DiLaurentis residence and then sets it on fire , trapping Jenna inside with the intent to murder her . She is rescued by Hanna , who happened to be nearby the household . Marshall goes to the hospital and stays there under observation . This marks the first time in the series that Jenna appears to be frightened . Marshall asks to see the Liars . While they 're in her hospital room , Jenna asks if it 's true that Hanna pulled her out of the fire . When Hanna confirms this , Jenna Marshall her why she did it and seems grateful for having been rescued . Hanna does n't answer her question , but simply replies `` you 're welcome '' . Later , `` A '' is seen planting Garret 's police badge at the scene of the fire , in order to implicate him in Jenna 's attack . Since Marshall is still in the hospital when this occurred , she is officially ruled out as the one behind the `` A '' scheme . During `` If These Dolls Could Talk '' , Jenna removes the bandage from her eye and cryptically begins to cry . Later , at school , she approaches the Liars at their lunch table and apologizes for gaining a hatred towards them , saying that when Hanna 's actions made her realize that people are capable of changing . However , her apology is met with suspicion by all four girls . She shares with them the `` unfortunate results '' of her surgery . Later , Toby comes into her room questioning Marshall as to why Garrett is watching their house . She affirms not knowing the reason and asks Cavanaugh to close the curtains . Marshall pulls a slip of paper from a box on her night table , and gives it to him . Telling him that it was given to her by Garrett and was told to keep it safe . She lies , playing stupid , and claiming to not know what it is . Toby opens it , revealing it to be the missing Page 5 of Alison DiLaurentis ' autopsy report . They then head to the police station to hand it to the authorities . At the end of the episode , she is seen smacking a fly on her mirror and removes its corpse . Afterwards , Marshall turns back to her mirror with a sneaky smirk and continues to remove her makeup , revealing that she is indeed able to see . In `` UnmAsked '' , Jenna has a mysterious secret meeting with someone at a park and gives something to the individual , stating that `` they 're all going to be at the party , you know what you need to do '' . Marshall is later seen at the masquerade party spying on Aria , and engaging on a conversation with Lucas and the Black Swan . Season 3 ( edit ) The character 's return for the third season happened in `` Blood is the New Black '' , when the Liars have reason to believe that Jenna is faking her blidness when Toby stumbles upon prescription eye drops dated after Jenna 's eye surgery . To test this theory , the Liars planted an earring in the girls ' bathroom at school and remained hidden in the stalls . Jenna is proven to be faking her blindness when she picks up and examines the earring . The girls decided to keep quiet about this newfound knowledge so that they could possibly use Jenna 's secret against her . During `` Kingdom of the Blind '' , Emily sees a flashback of Jenna driving her the night she was drugged and taken to Alison 's dug - up grave . Marshall is later seen pressuring Aria to find out how much Emily remembers from `` that night . '' The girls follow Jenna to a gun shop , in which Hanna confronts a clearly not - blind Marshall behind the wheel of her car . Jenna tells them that she 's been able to see from the first operation and kept this information a secret because `` it was the only protection '' she had . Throughout `` That Girl is Poison '' , Marshall , who has by then openly revealed she can see again , invites the Liars to attend her birthday party . This prompts Spencer to question the purpose of Jenna 's party . Marshall appears at school without her trademark shades and cane . All the students except the Liars congratulate her . She later throws a birthday party at the coffee house . In `` Crazy '' , CeCe Drake prank dials Jenna and warns her not to date Nate St. Germain ( whom she was flirting with at the time ) in an attempt to bring him closer to Emily . CeCe assures her she 'll scratch her eyes out if she spots her with him and lies about being his girlfriend . During `` What Lies Beneath '' , Jenna is seen by Nate and Emily at the Brew chatting to Noel Kahn . When Noel goes to practice , Nate approaches Marshall and divulges to her that he has a gift but never got a proper chance to hand it because she ditched him . Jenna ignores his attempts of wooing her but Nate reffuses to let her go . Once Nate chooses to leave , Jenna is seen sitting back down . In `` Single Fright Female '' , Nate discovers Marshall had been faking her blindness for a while and calls her out for acting like she ca n't see him . Later , Jenna shows up at Emily 's house a little frightened , claiming she needs to tell her something . After seeing that she has company , Jenna just warns Fields to be very careful with who she spends time with and is seen getting into a cab and potentially leaving town since the driver was placing luggage in the trunk . Throughout `` A dAngerous gAme '' , Jenna is seen at her house talking on her phone . Newspapers and mail are piled up on the front porch as if the house has been uninhabited for a while . Someone is watching her through the window and sends a text message as `` A '' with a meeting time and place . Jenna simultaneously receives a text message , gets off her phone , and looks out the window , but no one is standing there . We find out later in the episode that it was Spencer watching and taking photos of Jenna , but the text was sent to Toby . Marshall later meets with Shana in the park and they appear to be very friendly . She discloses to Shana Fring that `` they '' will all be there Friday and reminds her friend of what has to be done . Shana questions Jenna about her doctor 's appointment and Marshall implies she may be losing her sight again , with Shana assuring her that even in her darkest days , she 'll be there for her . While out for a run , Emily sees Melissa Hastings entering Marshall 's house . Inside , the two seem to be arguing with Jenna informing Melissa that `` they have the tapes '' and Melissa replying that `` those bitches will be at the lodge at 9 . '' Melissa proceeds to hand Shana a copy of the invitation . The night of the `` party '' Toby sees a girl in the woods just before he gets knocked out from behind . The woman is believed to be Jenna , though it was never confirmed . We later witness the four Liars and Mona driving back to Rosewood . They come upon Wilden 's police car that Hanna and Aria previously pushed into a lake . A video recorder suddenly plays the incident where Hanna 's mom ran over Wilden , but this time they see that afterwards , Marshall and Shana rushed over to his body and dragged him away . Season 4 ( edit ) During the fourth season 's premiere , `` ' A ' is for A-l-i-v-e '' , Mona confirms that Jenna and Shana knew each other before coming to Rosewood , and further claims Marshall feared Melissa . In a later scene , Jenna approaches Emily outside her house . Because of the way the scene is shot , we can see that Jenna is losing her sight again . We also notice Marshall has a burn on her hand , further implying she was at Thornhill the night of the fire . Jenna divulges to Emily that she and Wilden were friends and that she has a message for Toby in case anything bad happens to her . According to Marshall , everyone who met Alison the night she went missing ends up dead , meaning Wilden saw Ali , something Garrett disclosed to her . Since Toby is n't taking any of Jenna 's calls and Marshall knows Cavanaugh and Emily remain friends , she asks Emily to tell him that she never meant to hurt him . Later , at Wilden 's funeral we see that Marshall is wearing her glasses again and being escorted by Nigel Wright , indicating her vision continues to decline . In `` Face Time '' , it 's revealed that the reason Jenna , Melissa and Shana were working with Wilden and the `` A-Team '' was because he was blackmailing them to do so , under the orders of someone else ( later revealed to be Big `` A '' ) . Throughout `` Into the Deep '' , Spencer and Aria eavesdrop on a conversation Shana and Jenna are having . It 's revealed Marshall believes Alison is still alive . Later , Jenna is seen with Shana at Emily 's surprise birthday party . Spencer asks Marshall if she 's losing her sight because she is wearing her sunglasses , but Jenna replies `` I see everything I need to '' . Aria begs Marshall to tell her what she knows , but Jenna seems afraid . Later , Emily finds a body face down in the lake , revealed to be Marshall . Someone hit her on the back of the head and she fell into the lake . Jenna is unconscious , but still alive and taken to a hospital . At the hospital , Spencer asks Shana who Marshall is afraid of , and Fring replies `` Cece Drake '' . During the fourth season 's finale , `` A is for Answers '' , Alison revealed that she originally believed Jenna to be `` A '' so she visited Marshall at the hospital . Ali who at this point was trying to find out who A was threatens Jenna to not come back to town . Once she turned around to leave , she received a text from A , that read `` Bitch ca n't see you , but I do . Tonight is the night I kill you '' , which eliminated Marshall as a suspect . Season 5 ( edit ) In the series ' 100th episode `` Miss Me x 100 '' a bus rolls to a stop across the street , and when the vehicle drives away , Jenna , who has arrived back in Rosewood , comes face to face with Alison , Aria and Ezra . Later while sitting on her bedroom floor crying , Marshall hears movement around her room and calls out , `` whose there ? '' only to get no response . At Aria 's front door , Jenna demands knowing what Aria was doing in her house . Montgomery asks her if she wants to come inside for a cup of tea but all Marshall would like is an answer . Aria tells her she heard about Shana 's death and wanted to see if she was doing okay , prompting Jenna to wonder why she 'd even care . Aria reminds that Alison 's return has brought back a lot of bad memories for most senior students at Rosewood High . Marshall reminds Montgomery that she still has loyal friends , while she on the other hand , does n't have anyone left . As Jenna is turning to leave , Aria again offers her tea , informing her that while she did n't know Shana , Jenna could tell her all about Shana . Turning back around , Marshall tells Aria that having someone to chat with would help . Pulling up to a picnic ground , Sydney Driscoll and Jenna step out of Sydney 's car . Driscoll comments on the mustang parked in front of them , and Marshall reveals it used to be hers . Walking over to Mona , Sydney informs her the Liars do not want things to go back to the way they were . Jenna makes a remark on how she remembers Ali treating her friends like dolls . Mona deduces that maybe they can get rid of Alison . The three girls turn to look as a third car pulls up . During `` March of Crimes '' , Jenna comes enters the music room and is greeted by Alison . Ali makes a remark on how she was unaware that Jenna had enrolled at Rosewood High . Jenna states that she came back a few weeks ago , and that nobody seemed to notice since most students were too busy paying attention to Alison . Ali mentions that she 's sorry about Shana 's passing , and that she meant a lot to her too . Thanking her , Marshall says that she 's sorry for Alison as well and that she heard about the break in last night . When Jenna starts walking out , Alison asks her to wait before wondering how Jenna managed to turn Shana against her . Looking over her shoulder , Marshall assures Alison she brought it on herself . Walking out of a consulting room , Jenna and Sydney stop when Emily calls out Sydney . As Emily asks Driscoll what she 's doing at the Optometrists , Marshall explains that Sydney was her ride , before asking if it posed a problem . Emily wonders when Jenna and Sydney became friends , and when Marshall attempts to get Sydney to walk away with her , Spencer instructs Sydney to answer Emily 's questions . Stepping in , Jenna says that it sounded more like an accusation , and when Emily asks Driscoll why she never mentioned being friends with Jenna . This leads to a heated argument , and Marshall eventually leaves accompanied by Sydney . Later on the episode , Driscoll reveals to Emily that she met Jenna when she volunteered at a school for the visually impaired and have remained friends ever since the day Alison visited Marshall to threaten her . Driscoll returned to Rosewood per Marshall 's request , fearing that Alison would bully her once more . Throughout `` How the ' A ' Stole Christmas '' , Jenna is part of the school choir who are singing Christmas songs for the Shady Days Nursing Home , alongside Paige , Emily , Lucas and Sydney . Unbeknownst at the time , Jenna is one of Alison 's followers at the Masquerade Ice Ball . Still wearing a mask , Jenna and another one of Alison 's followers , later revealed as Driscoll , pose for a photo with Lucas , who is dressed as Santa Claus . Lucas tells the two masked beauties to come in closer , and after the photo is taken , he wishes them a Merry Christmas . After gaining Emily 's attention , Marshall and Sydney begin walking through the crowd , with Driscoll looking over her shoulder to make sure Emily would follow her trace . As Emily enters the room which has been draped off with fabric , Jenna sits on the couch , while Sydney reveals herself to Emily and explains that she led Emily to an isolated location because she did n't want Alison to witness them talking . As Driscoll walks towards Jenna , Emily tells Sydney that she really gets around , and questions if Jenna knows Sydney is with Alison now . Jenna then takes off her mask and reveals to Emily they suspect Alison of being accountable for Mona 's murder . Season 6 ( edit ) Jenna is mentioned by the girls to being Lucas Gottesman 's date to their senior prom as they see a photo of the two on their phones . In `` Game Over , Charles '' , Jenna made a brief cameo during a flashback , as the Liars were exiting the church after Wilden 's funeral and watching the woman in a black veil entering a limo . Season 7 ( edit ) During `` Hit and Run , Run , Run '' , Jenna appears at The Radley whilst the Liars are discussing the events that lead to Elliott 's death . As she bumps into the girls , they are speechless at her unexpected reemergence and she explains that her return to Rosewood is due to Toby and Yvonne 's engagement . Later , Toby arrives at the police station and crosses paths with his stepsister . He argues with Jenna about her arrival to town though she assures him that her intentions are to solely make amends . After Hanna and Mona find Hanna 's golden bracelet on Elliott 's car , they hear his burner phone ringing . When Mona answers the call , Jenna 's voice is heard from the other end answering `` Hi , Archer , can you hear me ? It 's Jenna , Jenna Marshall '' , thus revealing Elliott 's real name and that she 's somehow involved in A.D. 's game . Marshall remains around Rosewood in `` Along Comes Mary '' and befriends Sara Harvey , which troubles the Liars after Emily spots the two women amicably hanging out at the Rear Window Brew . Aria and Emily decided to investigate Archer 's apartment and discover that Jenna was on his payroll for undisclosed reasons . At the end of the episode , she and Sara are having drinks at The Radley when an unknown figure approaches the two and reveals themselves to be Noel Kahn , who proceeds to join the duo . When confronted by Emily in regards to her involvement with Archer during `` Wanted : Dead or Alive '' , Jenna admits she befriended Charlotte DiLaurentis after reading about her stay at Welby and reached out . In a flashback , Marshall is enlisted by Charlotte to track down the whereabouts of her birth mother and help Archer create an alias . Dunhill 's plan was to purposely introduce himself to Alison under the `` Elliott Rollins '' pseudonym and later take advantage of her good intentions to benefit Charlotte 's eventual release from Welby . During `` Original G'A'ngsters '' , the Liars witness Jenna mourn Sara 's death after a team of paramedics arrive at The Radley to transport her body for further examination . All of the girls suspect Marshall was involved in Harvey 's homicide and are certain that she put on an act in order to drive suspicion away from her . Later , Spencer and Hanna manage to break into Jenna 's room at The Radley with Caleb 's aid , who disguised himself as a massager in order to steal from Marshall 's bag the key that opens the mysterious box located under her bed . In it , the girls find several papers but their investigation process is interrumped by the sound of someone slowly opening the door . The person hides Mary 's old Radley Sanitarium file inside the box and is revealed to be Noel Kahn , who is seen angrily dialing Dr. Cochran ( the person who handled the birth of both Mary 's children ) . In `` The DArkest Knight '' , Mona and Caleb manage to bug Jenna 's cellphone and eavesdrop a voice message she left for Noel after he failed to return any of her calls . Afterwards , Hanna contacts Mona to help her return to Rosewood with a convincing narrative after having abducted Noel . Once Hanna successfully fabricates a story to the police on how she went to Hollybrook to track down the girl Kahn pushed down a flight of stairs at a frat party , Mona purposely bumps into Marshall at The Radley . Jenna is given an ultimatum to conspire with the Liars , after Mona implies that Marshall 's partnership with Noel would send both of them to prison . Jenna initially subdues to Mona 's coercion , seeing as her and Caleb later await for Marshall by the Radley 's bar . Nonetheless , Jenna manages to trick the duo after hiring Sydney to pose as a decoy and serve them coffee . When the Liars head to the shed Noel was secluded , the Liars panic as soon as they realize he 's missing as well as a camera Hanna used in an attempt to record a confession of him admitting he 's their tormentor . A few seconds later , the girls receive a text message ordering them to show up in 1465 , Elm Street at 10pm . Once they arrive to the location , the Liars make their way inside an abandoned school for blind students where they 're held hostage by Noel and Jenna , with the later tracking them down at gunpoint . During the cat - and - mouse chase , Emily and Hanna end up fighting Noel which causes Kahn to stumble upon an axe that decapitates him . Jenna takes aim at the Liars only to backfire , until a second gunshot is heard and it injures Spencer . As Marshall prepares to finish her off , Mary Drake suddenly emerges from behind and knocks her out . While Drake attempts to help Spencer , an unknown figure drags Jenna away from the building . At the end of the episode , the anonymous entity places her in the back of a van , while she questions them if they were responsible for the gunshot that hit Spencer . As the mysterious figure proceed to rip off an old man 's mask and toss it over to Jenna 's side , Marshall feels it up and realizes that A.D. was the one who rescued her . At the end of `` Playtime '' , Jenna is seated in A.D. 's lair , sipping tea . She thanks the unidentified individual for the drink and reminds them of their promise to update her on the `` game '' . Dressed in a nurse 's uniform , A.D. drops a binder on Marshall 's lap with pages of information written in braille . After Jenna reads a paragraph , she mutters the word `` endgame '' and grins in delight . During `` These Boots Were Made for Stalking '' , Jenna walks into the police station in order to come clean about her actions and interrupts a conversation between Spencer and detective Marco Furey . Marshall reports that she kept a low profile after the events that took place at the abandoned school for blind students to avoid being harmed by Noel . According to Jenna , Noel was accountable for Sara Harvey 's homicide and she feared to be his ensuing victim . Kahn recruited Jenna with the assertion that Charlotte left enough money in her will to afford Marshall another eye surgery . Nevertheless , Jenna suspected Noel of stealthily plotting to steal the cash all to himself since his parents had financially cut him off . In an attempt to spare her life , Marshall brought a gun to the deserted sight school as an act of self - defense and pretended to hold a grudge against the Liars . After Jenna describes her side of the story , Furey orders one of his associates to escort Marshall to a conference room so she can make an official statement . As Jenna exits the room , Spencer claims that she 's an unreliable narrator . However , Furey informs Spencer that the authorities do n't have any evidence against Marshall because the bullet that injured Spencer did n't match the gun found at the location . A few hours afterwards , Emily spots Jenna exiting the Brew accompanied by an entourage of blind individuals . Marshall pauses right by the coffee shop 's doorway and instructs her phone to send a text . A faint beeping is heard from across the café and the recipient is revealed to be Addison Derringer , a local Rosewood High student whom Emily has disciplinary issues with . She instantly suspects Addison of being in cahoots with Jenna . Later on the episode , Mona and Hanna are having a business meeting at The Radley 's bar when Jenna suddenly walks in to meet her newest associates . Marshall is wearing an exact replica of the dress Hanna designed for Katherine Daly , but in white instead of black . Mona and Hanna storm up and confront Jenna , who gleefully divulges it was a gift but refuses to acknowledge the identity of its purchaser . Hanna , alongside Caleb , decide to stalk Marshall and her group of friends to the building where Hanna 's cobbler works . The couple suspect Jenna is planning to steal the shoes that the senator 's daughter was supposed to wear to counterpart the dress . Once Marshall 's clique heads inside the building , Caleb engages in a face - off with Jenna in order to buy Hanna sufficient time to sneak into the cobbler 's office to regain her shoes . After Marshall is cornered by Caleb , she explains to him that she 's on her way to rehearse for a concert since there 's a studio on the top floor . Caleb points out that her friends did n't bring any musical instruments and as Jenna suggests him to back off , he replies with the same statement before pointing out that Marshall could n't have worn a specific dress without a helping hand . Jenna attempts to flee but Caleb takes a hold of her cane to warn Marshall that the cops were beginning to find inconsistencies in her allegations . Jenna assures Caleb they wo n't be able to prosecute her since Noel was the only person who could contradict her statement . Throughout `` Hold Your Piece '' , Aria and Emily team up to track down Sydney 's whereabouts in hopes of finding Jenna . After searching her name online , they discover that Driscoll graduated from Berkeley College , with a double major in Economics and French . Sydney currently resides in a loft at Fishtown , Philadelphia , whilst working as a bank teller at a private department that services extremely wealthy clients . The girls also learn that Sydney checked into a charity gala for the Manhattan Children 's Hospital , the same ball where Katherine made an appearance wearing Hanna 's dress . Following this enlightenment , Emily googles the event and comes across a picture of Daly posing on a red carpet whilst Driscoll sneakily uses a phone to photograph her dress . The girls deduce that Sydney 's loyalty to Marshall places her as the strongest contender serving as Spencer 's shooter . They conclude Driscoll most likely made adjustments for Marshall to be clothed in a duplicate of Hanna 's dress so Jenna could omit the truth from the authorities . Aria promptly suggests for her and Emily to head over to Sydney 's address to gather more insight into the situation . Following a quick lesson from Caleb on spying techniques , Aria instructed Emily to approach Driscoll and clone her phone . During a conversation with Sydney , Emily was told that she was trying to distance herself from Marshall but that information proved to be false . Through access to Driscoll 's phone , the girls discover that Sydney had an appointment at the Vogel Vision Institute and eavesdrop the meeting . Turns out Driscoll was paying for an operation to give Jenna her sight back and she uttered the initials `` A.D. '' as the donor for the cost . After Sydney exits the clinic , Aria and Emily aggressively confront her . Driscoll still claimed to not knowing where Marshall was , so Aria slipped a tracker in her bag to maintain her under their radar . In `` Till Death Do Us Part '' , Addison joins her friends in the hallway , when Jenna approaches them . It turns out that Marshall is the new Life Skills teacher at Rosewood High . Jenna orders Derringer and her friends to get to class , and Addison tries to make her entourage of friends laugh by waving her hand in front of Marshall 's face . Unexpectedly , Jenna catches it and frightens Derringer by stating `` I may be blind , but I can still smell a bitch from a mile away '' . A few days later , Spencer 's identical twin sister , Alex Drake , is sitting on a bench outside of Veronica 's law office . Jenna emerges from the building with Mrs. Hastings , and the two women briefly discuss a legal situation involving Addison 's behavior at school . After Veronica leaves , Marshall sniffs the air around Alex and questions her on whether she 's sporting a new perfume . Alex laughs it off , explaining that she spent the morning taking care of Spencer 's rescue horse , before heading in the opposite direction . After she walks away , Jenna pulls out her phone and calls Toby to warn him that there 's an impostor posing as his ex-girlfriend . When Spencer asks Alex about Marshall 's involvement in the `` A '' game , her sister explains that Jenna requested Noel to search for her whereabouts . Marshall was aware Charlotte had another sister and that she left Alex her possessions . Although Marshall did n't know who Alex truly was , she offered to do her bidding in exchange for one last chance to regain her eye sight . Alex paid for Jenna 's treatments , which proved unsuccessful , therefore becoming counterproductive to her agenda .

Roberts performed with the Port Players , in Milwaukee , in the comedy To Dorothy a Son , and other productions . `` Roberts again is master of all situations , as he has been in the 9 previous productions of the season '' . He performed as well with the Brattle Theatre 's production of Othello and Henry IV Part I , which was later brought to the New York City Center ( Playbill , January 1957 ) and later , Guys and Dolls with the Cohassett Music Circus . In 1952 , Roberts moved to New York , where he appeared first off - Broadway in one - act operas and ballets with the North American Lyric Theatre , with the Shakespearewrights , at the Equity Library Theatre , and later on Broadway with performances in Tonight in Samarkand ( also in Washington , DC ) , The Lovers opposite Joanne Woodward , and A Clearing in the Woods with Robert Culp and Kim Stanley . He won a Drama Desk Award in 1955 for his performance in an off - Broadway rendition of Macbeth , which was followed by the role of Mercutio in Romeo and Juliet . He performed in Twelfth Night , Merchant of Venice , Dr. Faustus , and The Taming of the Shrew at the American Shakespeare Festival , and later on Broadway . He performed in St. Joan ( 1954 , Cleveland ) , Down in the Valley ( at the Provincetown Playhouse ) , The Duchess of Malfi , Measure for Measure , and King John ... In 1956 , Roberts returned to the Olney Theatre , starring opposite Jan Farrand in Much Ado About Nothing with the Players , Inc. group . The same year , Roberts made his television debut in the `` Shadow of Suspicion '' episode of Kraft Television Theater , followed by guest - starring roles in Whirlybirds , Gunsmoke , Cimarron City , Buckskin , Sugarfoot , and Cheyenne . Roberts signed a contract with Columbia Pictures in 1957 and made his film debut a year later as one of Burl Ives ' contentious sons in Desire Under the Elms ( 1958 ) . The film was nominated for a Best Cinematography Academy Award . He also landed a character role in The Sheepman ( 1958 ) , opposite Glenn Ford and Shirley MacLaine , and continued to guest - star on television shows such as episodes of Shirley Temple Storybook Theater ( `` The Emperor 's New Clothes '' , `` Rumplestiltskin '' , `` The Sleeping Beauty '' , and `` Hiawatha '' ) , the live - broadcast Matinee Theater , where he starred again in Shakespeare 's Much Ado About Nothing , and in The Heart 's Desire . This was followed by appearances in Trackdown , Buckskin , and episodes of Zane Grey Theater . Roberts guest - starred as Captain Jacques Chavez on the NBC adventure series Northwest Passage ( 1958 ) , based on the life of Major Robert Rogers in the French and Indian War . He appeared with fellow guest star Fay Spain in the 1958 episode `` Pick up the Gun '' of Tombstone Territory and played the lead villain in the 31st episode ( `` Hey Boy 's Revenge '' ) of Have Gun -- Will Travel , portraying a killer boss exploiter of Chinese coolie laborers . In 1959 , Roberts guest - starred in episodes of General Electric Theater , Cimarron City , Sugarfoot , Lawman , One Step Beyond , Bronco , 77 Sunset Strip , The Detectives , and House Call . Also in 1959 , he co-starred in the film Ride Lonesome . `` If Roberts felt typecast by Westerns , they also provided his finest role in this film , arguably the greatest of the B - films , starring Randolph Scott and directed by Budd Boetticher . Roberts recognized the film 's classic structure ; his engaging outlaw , Sam Boone , counterpoints Scott 's granite - faced Ben Brigade , maintaining the tension of whether they will work together or clash . He similarly played off James Coburn , who was making his film debut as Boone 's quiet sidekick , Whit . '' The same year , he was cast in Bonanza . Bonanza ( edit ) As Adam in the opening credits Roberts played Ben Cartwright 's urbane eldest son Adam , in the Western television series Bonanza . Unlike his brothers , Adam was a university - educated architectural engineer . Roberts , having largely been `` a stage actor , accustomed as he was to a rigorous diet of the classics '' and to freely move about from part to part , found the `` transition to a television series '' , playing the same character , `` without costume changes , '' a difficult one . `` It was perhaps not surprising that , despite enormous success , he left Bonanza after the 1964 -- 65 season , criticizing the show 's simple - minded content and lack of minority actors ... '' . It particularly distressed him that his character , a man in his 30s , had to defer continually to the wishes of his widowed father , and he reportedly disliked the series itself , calling it `` junk '' television and accusing NBC of `` perpetuating banality and contributing to the dehumanization of the industry . '' The equally self - critical Roberts ( `` I guess I 'll never be satisfied with my own work '' ) , `` had long disdained the medium 's commercialization of his craft and its mass production , assembly - line mindset . '' Frustrated with Bonanza and angry , he told a reporter in 1965 , `` I feel I 'm an aristocrat in my field of endeavor . My being part of Bonanza was like Isaac Stern sitting in with Lawrence Welk '' . In much later interviews , Roberts denied statements about Bonanza attributed to him . `` I did not enjoy Bonanza anymore ... but I never said those things people said I said . '' He was , however , `` too smart not to recognize its weaknesses . '' In a 1963 interview , he asked a reporter , `` Is n't it a bit silly for three adult males to have to ask father 's permission for everything they do ? '' `` They told me the four characters ( Lorne Greene , patriarch Ben , Dan Blocker and Michael Landon as his brothers ) would be carefully defined and the scripts carefully prepared ; none of it ever happened , '' he complained to The Associated Press in 1964 . He objected to how Bonanza portrayed the relationship between the `` father '' and adult `` sons , '' describing it as adolescent , lacking in `` truth '' and lacking in `` reality . '' Roberts acknowledged reasons for Bonanza 's appeal , but pointed to his personal need for story lines with greater social relevance , adult themes and dialogue . He wanted Bonanza to be `` a little more grown up , '' ( Mike Douglas Show , 1966 ) . He also noted that he was not suited to the `` procedural '' and `` confining aspect '' of series television , another reason for his dissatisfaction , while on the show ( Mike Douglas Show , 1966 ) . As Adam in `` The Hopefuls '' ( 1960 ) Roberts had high hopes for what he could contribute to Bonanza and was disappointed with the direction of the show , the limitations imposed on his Bonanza character and on his acting range . In a newspaper interview , he said , `` I have n't grown at all since the series began ... I have an impotent role . Wherever I turn there 's the father image . '' Finally , after disagreements with writers and producers over the quality of the scripts , characterization , and Bonanza 's refusal to allow him to perform elsewhere while on contract , Roberts `` turned his back on Hollywood wisdom and well - meant advice , '' and left , largely to return to legitimate theater ( Washington Post , January 25 , 2010 ; New York Daily News January 26 , 2010 ; Mike Douglas Show , 1965 , 1966 ) ; Henry Darrow Archival Interview ; USA Today , January 25 , 2010 ) . Dan Blocker , Michael Landon , Lorne Greene , and Roberts in Bonanza , 1959 Roberts fulfilled but did not extend his six - year contract for Bonanza , and when he left the series , his character was eliminated with the explanation that Adam had `` moved away . '' Later episodes suggested variously that Adam was `` at sea '' , had moved to Europe , or was on the East Coast , running that end of the family business . The last episode Pernell Roberts worked on was `` Dead and Gone '' , air date April 4 , 1965 . He appeared in the next two that aired which were filmed prior to `` Dead and Gone '' -- `` A Good Night 's Rest '' , air date April 11 , 1965 , and `` To Own The World '' , air date April 18 , 1965 . Adam Cartwright was mentioned on occasion in the series ( including a 1967 episode which did not air until April 4 , 1971 ( `` Kingdom of Fear '' ) . In television interviews , Roberts said that he would have stayed with Bonanza , had he been allowed to do so on a part - time basis to enable him to return to theater . Bonanza producer David Dortort described Roberts as `` rebellious , outspoken ... and aloof , '' but , as one who `` could make any scene he was in better ... '' . In a later archive interview , he regretted not having insisted on a `` marriage for Adam '' and having Roberts continue on the show as a semiregular . He added , `` I must confess ... I was too hard on him . I did not appreciate him . I knew he was good , but I did n't realize he was that good ... none better . '' In the last two Bonanza movies that aired on NBC in the early 1990s , the story line stated that Adam , now in Australia , had equaled his father 's success , dominating the engineering / construction business . Roberts in Bonanza , 1961 Roberts was the only accomplished singer of the original cast , though David Canary , who joined Bonanza in 1967 , had a background in voice and performed on Broadway . During Roberts ' Bonanza years , he recorded Come All Ye Fair and Tender Ladies , a folk music album which AllMusic calls `` ... the softer , lyrical side of folk music -- pleasant and not challenging , but quite rewarding in its unassuming way . '' The album , released by RCA Victor and arranged by Dick Rosmini , is available on compact disc only as part of the fourth disc of the Bonanza 4 - CD boxed set on Bear Family Records . On the Bonanza box set albums , Roberts also sings `` Early One Morning '' , `` In the Pines '' , `` The New Born King '' , `` The Bold Soldier '' , `` Mary Ann '' , `` They Call the Wind Maria '' , `` Sylvie '' , `` Lily of the West '' , `` The Water is Wide '' , `` Rake and a Ramblin ' Boy '' , `` A Quiet Girl '' , `` Shady Grove '' , `` Alberta '' , and `` Empty Pocket Blues '' . Roberts stated that he loved his co-stars and did not want to leave them , but the money just was not that important to him at the time . He felt he could do better elsewhere . After Bonanza ( edit ) Pernell Roberts , 1965 After Bonanza , Roberts played the straw hat circuit , regional theaters , and episodic TV , which gave him the opportunity to play a wide variety of roles . He toured with musicals such as The King and I , Kiss Me Kate , Camelot , and The Music Man , and dramas such as Tiny Alice . He played Jigger in an ABC television presentation of Carousel and was featured in a CBS Playhouse production , Dear Friends . In 1967 , Roberts starred in the lavish , but short - lived David Merrick production of Mata Hari , directed by Vincente Minnelli . The show had a much - publicized `` chaotic '' preview performance due to technical problems stemming from lack of rehearsal time at the Kennedy Center , Washington , DC , where the preview performance took place . `` What was offered the people of Washington was a dress rehearsal . David Merrick spoke to the audience beforehand warning them of this . '' Problems were corrected by the official opening night , when the show received good reviews for Roberts , musical score and lyrics , stage design and costumes , but poor reviews for its co-star and other aspects of the production . The show , nevertheless , was thought to have the potential to continue to Broadway . `` Mata Hari was a show with a great story , two fascinating characters , and some accessory mess that could have easily been tidied up by anyone but Vincente Minnelli . '' But Merrick , `` instead of bringing someone to clean house closed the production down '' ( `` Opening A New Window : The Broadway Musical in the 1960s , '' p. 205 Ethan Morrden , October 29 , 2002 ) . In 1972 , Roberts returned to Broadway and toured with Ingrid Bergman in Captain Brassbound 's Conversion , in which he played the title role . `` Particularly helpful is Pernell Roberts in the acted upon title role ... This actor is a sturdy , not unamusing leading - man type and may his appearance as a Bergman costar be rewarded beyond Bonanza . '' In 1973 , Roberts was nominated for a Joseph Jefferson Award for his performance in Welcome Home at the Ivanhoe Theatre in Chicago . The same year , Roberts starred as Rhett Butler opposite Lesley Ann Warren , in another major production , Gone with the Wind , at the Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles , again receiving good personal reviews , amidst weak reviews for the rest of the show . Additional stage credits after Bonanza include Two for the Seesaw , A Thousand Clowns , One Flew Over the Cuckoo 's Nest , Any Wednesday , and The Sound of Music ( as Captain von Trapp ) . He did The Night of the Iguana while still playing in Bonanza in 1963 .

He co-starred or was featured in several TV movies , including , The Adventures of Nick Carter , Dead Man on the Run , Assignment : Munich , The Night Rider , The Silent Gun , The Lives of Jenny Dolan , The Deadly Tower , Hot Rod , Desperado , The Bravos , and High Noon , Part II : The Return of Will Kane . In 1979 , Roberts again achieved `` superstar '' status as the lead in Trapper John , M.D. ( 1979 -- 1986 ) , receiving an Emmy nomination in 1981 ; and playing the character twice as long as Wayne Rogers had ( 1972 -- 1975 ) on CBS 's M * A * S * H series . Roberts told TV Guide ( 1979 ) that he chose to return to weekly television after watching his father age and realizing that it was a vulnerable time to be without financial security . `` The show allowed Roberts to both use his dramatic range and address issues , '' wrote The Independent . Of the period between series , Roberts said he enjoyed moving around and playing different characters . During that time , he also toured university campuses conducting seminars on play production , acting , and poetry . In 1980 , Roberts reunited with his former Bonanza co-star Lorne Greene , for 2 episodes of Vega $ . In 1988 , Roberts co-starred with Milla Jovovich in the TV movie The Night Train to Kathmandu . He guest - starred as Hezekiah Horn in the powerful Young Riders episode , `` Requiem for a Hero '' , for which he won a Western Heritage Award in 1991 . In interviews , Roberts had described television as a `` director 's and film cutter 's medium , '' but he himself was described as a `` born television actor ... low key . '' In the 1980s and 1990s , playing off his Trapper John M.D. persona , Roberts acted as TV spokesman for Ecotrin , a brand of analgesic tablets . Roles since included Donor ( 1990 ) with Melissa Gilbert and Checkered Flag ( 1990 ) . He appeared as captain of the CBS teams for Battle of the Network Stars 11 and 12 . Trapper John , M.D. He narrated documentaries , including the National Geographic episode , `` Alaska , The Great Land '' in 1965 , `` In the Realm of the Alligator '' in 1986 , the TV special Code One about the work of paramedics in 1989 , and `` The Mountain Men '' episode of the History Channel , 1999 . From 1991 to 1993 , in his last venture into series television , Roberts lent his distinctive voice to host and narrate the TV anthology series , FBI : The Untold Stories . He made his last TV appearance in 1997 on an episode of Diagnosis : Murder , updating a Mannix character he had portrayed decades before . In his later life , and after the death of all of his former Bonanza co-stars , Roberts `` jokingly referred to himself as , ' Pernell , the last one , Roberts ' . He read Bonanza Gold Magazine , which was like looking at an old family album , he said , and watched reruns of Bonanza when he wanted to see old friends . Personal life and death ( edit ) Onstage , 1972 Roberts married four times , first in 1951 to Vera Mowry -- a professor of theatre history at Washington State University and subsequently Hunter College , as well as professor emerita of the Ph.

Production ( edit ) The series received a second season renewal in November 2016 , with its debut occurring in 2018 . Casting began in 2017 , with a bulk of the first season 's core cast confirmed to return for the new season throughout the year . Talulah Riley and Louis Herthum , who appeared as Angela and Peter Abernathy respectively , were upgraded to main cast status in March . In July 2017 , Katja Herbers , Neil Jackson and Jonathan Tucker were among the new cast members to be announced . Gustaf Skarsgård , Fares Fares and Betty Gabriel joined in August . It was announced in September that Hiroyuki Sanada was cast in a major recurring role . Zahn McClarnon was announced as being cast in November , along with the news he had been injured in an off - set incident , causing a brief pause in the season 's filming . An alternate version of the show 's Super Bowl LII trailer revealed Peter Mullan had been cast , playing James Delos . An additional trailer in March revealed Rinko Kikuchi was cast as well . The cast was rounded out a few weeks prior to the season 's April 22 premiere with Tao Okamoto , Kiki Sukezane and Julia Jones . Filming began in the summer of 2017 . Harris stated in an interview that , to ensure the production remain on schedule , scenes for episodes later in the season would be filmed simultaneously with earlier episodes . Actor Jeffrey Wright noted that many of Bernard 's scenes with Anthony Hopkins ' character , Dr. Ford , for late - season episodes were filmed first ; in contrast to the first season where Wright had some idea of Bernard 's arc , he had to make guesses as what the writers had planned out for Bernard in this season , and adjust his acting accordingly . As a result of the December 2017 Southern California wildfires , production was halted once again . Release ( edit ) Broadcast ( edit ) The season premiere debuted on April 16 at the Cinerama Dome in Hollywood , on April 18 at the 2018 Tribeca Film Festival and had many early screenings around the world prior to its April 22 airing . Showrunners Nolan and Joy revealed that certain episodes will be `` super sized '' , running longer than the regular 60 minutes per episode from the previous season . Marketing ( edit ) During the 2017 San Diego Comic Con , an immersive experience was set up for attendees in addition to a panel held by the producers and cast of the series . The first trailer for the season was aired as well . A second , full - length trailer was aired during Super Bowl LII . Reception ( edit ) Critical response ( edit ) The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 86 % approval rating for the second season , based on 62 reviews , with an average rating of 7.98 / 10 . The website 's critical consensus reads , `` Westworld builds on its experimental first season , diving deeper into the human side of AI without losing any of its stylish , bloody glory . '' The average rating for individual episodes is 90 % . Metacritic , which uses a weighted average , assigned a score of 76 out of 100 based on 29 critics , indicating `` generally favorable reviews '' . Westworld ( season 2 ) : Critical reception by episode Season 2 ( 2018 ) : Percentage of positive reviews tracked by the website Rotten Tomatoes Critics received the first five episodes of this season as screeners before the first episode premiered . In a positive review for San Francisco Chronicle , David Wiegand wrote , `` there is plenty of action and violence in the first half of the season , but what will empower the show 's longevity is its metaphysical theme , the exploration of the meaning and definition of human existence . '' Rob Owen of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette also praised the series , saying , `` It takes a bit for Westworld to get back up to full steam , but by episode three ( five hours were made available to TV critics ) , this futuristic , violent drama returns to fine form , introducing new parts of the park ( Shogun World ! ) , new characters and apparently new technology goals on the part of Delos , the corporation that owns Westworld . '' Journalist Lorraine Ali of the Los Angeles Times said , `` It 's poised to be a intellectually stimulating and emotionally bumpy ride , where the very concept of your existence becomes the stuff of high - brow entertainment and low - bar thrills . '' The New York Times TV critic James Poniewozik quipped , `` do n't expect too much improvement too fast from Westworld 2.0 . It 's still overly focused on balletic blood baths and narrative fake - outs , and much of the dialogue still sounds as if it were written as a tagline for a subway poster , like Dolores 's ' I have one last role to play : myself . ' But Westworld remains a glorious production to look at , and there are stretches where it feels invigorated by its new , expanded world -- freer to breathe , relax , invent . '' Ben Travers of IndieWire wrote , `` all around , the actors remain strong , including a number of new cast members . Where season 2 stumbles is its structure and pacing . Episodes do n't carve equal time for everyone ; they focus on the two most connected stories and sometimes break for an entire hour without getting back to a series regular . '' After the release of the third episode , Forbes criticized the season for departing too far from the show 's roots and instead trying to be an `` action blockbuster '' , arguing in part that the violence was overdone in comparison to the first season . Accolades ( edit ) Westworld received six nominations for the 70th Primetime Emmy Awards , including Outstanding Drama Series , Ed Harris and Jeffrey Wright for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series , Evan Rachel Wood for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series , Thandie Newton for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series , and Jimmi Simpson for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series .

The film stars Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker , a high school student living in New York City , who lives a double life as the superhero Spider - Man , after developing spider - like super powers . Spider - Man also stars Willem Dafoe , Kirsten Dunst , James Franco , Cliff Robertson and Rosemary Harris . After progress on the film stalled for nearly 25 years , it was licensed for a worldwide release by Columbia Pictures in 1999 after it acquired options from MGM on all previous scripts developed by Cannon Films , Carolco and New Cannon . Exercising its option on just two elements from the multi-script acquisition ( a different screenplay was written by James Cameron , Ted Newsom , John Brancato , Barney Cohen and Joseph Goldman ) , Sony hired David Koepp to create a working screenplay ( credited as Cameron 's ) , and Koepp received sole credit in final billing . Directors Roland Emmerich , Ang Lee , Chris Columbus , Jan de Bont , M. Night Shyamalan , Tony Scott and David Fincher were considered to direct the project before Raimi was hired as director in 2000 . The Koepp script was rewritten by Scott Rosenberg during pre-production and received a dialogue polish from Alvin Sargent during production . Filming took place in Los Angeles and New York City from January 8 to June 30 , 2001 . Spider - Man premiered in the Philippines on April 30 , 2002 and had its general release in the United States on May 3 , 2002 . It became a critical and financial success : it was the first film to reach $100 million in a single weekend , and became the most successful film based on a comic book . With a box office gross of $821.7 million worldwide , it was 2002 's third - highest - grossing film and became the seventh - highest - grossing film of all time . The film went on to gross a total revenue of $1.5 billion from box office and home video sales . The film competed at the 75th Academy Awards ceremony for Best Visual Effects and Best Sound . The film is credited for redefining the modern superhero genre , as well as the summer blockbuster , and due to its success it was followed by two sequels , Spider - Man 2 ( 2004 ) and Spider - Man 3 ( 2007 ) .

On a school field trip , he visits a genetics laboratory with his friend Harry Osborn and his love interest Mary Jane Watson . Peter is bitten by a genetically engineered `` super spider '' . After arriving home , he becomes unconscious . Meanwhile , Harry 's father , scientist Norman Osborn , a billionaire and the owner of Oscorp , is trying to win an important military contract . He experiments on himself with an unstable performance - enhancing chemical . After applying the chemical , he goes insane and kills his assistant , Dr. Stromm . The next morning , Peter finds that he is no longer near - sighted , and his body has transformed into a more muscular physique . At school , he finds that his hands can produce webs , and his quickened reflexes allow him to avoid injury during a confrontation with Flash Thompson . Peter discovers he has developed superhuman speed , strength , the ability to stick to surfaces , and a heightened ability to sense danger . Ignoring Ben 's advice that `` With great power comes great responsibility '' , Peter plans to buy a car to impress Mary Jane . He participates in an underground fighting tournament and wins his match , but the promoter cheats him and refuses to pay him the reward money . When a robber suddenly raids the promoter 's office , Peter allows him to escape with the money . Moments later , he discovers that Ben was carjacked and killed . Peter pursues and catches the culprit , only to find out that was the robber he let go . He throws the robber out of a window , killing him . Meanwhile , a crazed Norman interrupts a military experiment by Oscorp 's rival , killing several scientists and the military 's General Slocum . Upon graduating , Peter begins using his abilities for a good cause to atone for his uncle 's death , donning the costume of Spider - Man . J. Jonah Jameson , a newspaper company headmaster , hires Peter as a freelance photographer since he is the only one providing high - quality images of Spider - Man . Learning that Oscorp 's board members plan to fire him and sell the company , Norman creates a special suit and an enhanced glider , which he uses to assassinate them at the World Unity Fair . Jameson dubs the mysterious killer `` the Green Goblin '' . During his encounters with Peter , Norman persuades Peter to join him , but Peter refuses . They later fight , and Peter is wounded . At the Thanksgiving dinner , May invites Mary Jane , Harry , and Norman . There , Norman sees the wound on Peter 's arm and realizes his true identity . Shortly after he leaves , Norman attacks and hospitalizes May . Mary Jane admits she is infatuated with Spider - Man , who has rescued her twice , and asks Peter whether Spider - Man ever asked about her . Harry , who is dating Mary Jane , arrives and presumes she has feelings for Peter after seeing them hold hands . Devastated , Harry tells his father that Peter loves Mary Jane , unintentionally revealing Spider - Man 's biggest weakness . Norman holds Mary Jane and a Roosevelt Island Tram car full of children hostage alongside the Queensboro Bridge . He forces Peter to choose whom he wants to save before dropping Mary Jane and the children . Peter manages to save both Mary Jane and the tram car , while Norman is pelted by the civilians . Norman then grabs Peter and throws him into an abandoned building , where Peter is brutally beaten . When Norman rants about how he will kill Mary Jane , an enraged Peter overpowers Norman . Norman reveals himself to Peter , much to Peter 's shock . He begs for forgiveness but furtively controls his glider to attack Peter . Sensing the danger , Peter dodges the glider and it impales Norman , killing him . As Norman dies , he begs Peter not to tell Harry the truth of his identity . Peter takes Norman 's body back to his house . Harry arrives to find Spider - Man standing over his father 's body . He seizes a gun to shoot Peter , but Peter escapes and hides Norman 's equipment . At Norman 's funeral , Harry vows to kill Spider - Man , whom he deems responsible for his father 's death . He asserts that Peter is all the family he has left . Mary Jane confesses to Peter that she is in love with him . However , Peter feels that he must protect her from the unwanted attention of his enemies . He hides his true feelings and tells Mary Jane that they can only be friends . As Peter leaves , he recalls Ben 's words and accepts his new responsibility as a superhero - Spider - Man . Cast ( edit ) I felt like I was an outsider . I think what happened to me made me develop this street sense of watching people and working out what made them tick , wondering whether I could trust them or not . I went to a lot of schools along the coast in California , made few friends and stayed with aunts , uncles and grandparents while my folks tried to make ends meet . It was tough . We had no money . -- Tobey Maguire on identifying with Peter Parker Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker / Spider - Man An academically gifted but socially inept freelance photographer who gets bitten by a genetically modified spider and gains spider - like abilities , all of which he uses to fight crime as a spider - masked vigilante learning for himself that great power comes with great responsibility . Maguire was cast as Peter in July 2000 , having been Raimi 's primary choice for the role after he saw The Cider House Rules . The studio was initially hesitant to cast someone who did not seem to fit the ranks of `` adrenaline - pumping , tail - kicking titans '' , but Maguire managed to impress studio executives with his audition . The actor was signed for a deal in the range of $3 to $4 million with higher salary options for two sequels . To prepare , Maguire was trained by a physical trainer , a yoga instructor , a martial arts expert , and a climbing expert , taking several months to improve his physique . Maguire studied spiders and worked with a wire man to simulate the arachnidlike motion , and had a special diet . The studio had expressed interest in actors Leonardo DiCaprio , Edward Furlong , Freddie Prinze Jr. , Chris Klein , Wes Bentley , and Heath Ledger . Edward Furlong had been considered by James Cameron for the role in 1996 , while Raimi joked of Prinze that `` ( he ) wo n't even be allowed to buy a ticket to see this film . '' In addition , actors Scott Speedman , Jay Rodan , and James Franco were involved in screen tests for the lead role with Franco later being cast as Harry Osborn . Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane Watson A girl who Peter Parker has loved since childhood . Mary Jane has an abusive father , and aspires to become an actress , but becomes a waitress at a run down diner , a fact she hides from her boyfriend , Harry . Before Raimi cast Dunst , he had expressed his interest in casting Alicia Witt . Dunst decided to audition after learning Maguire had been cast , feeling the film would have a more independent feel . Dunst earned the role a month before shooting in an audition in Berlin . Willem Dafoe as Norman Osborn / Green Goblin A scientist , engineer , billionaire , founder and owner of Oscorp , who tests an unstable strength enhancer on himself and becomes the insane and powerful villian the Green Goblin . Unaware of Spider - Man 's true identity , he also sees himself as a father figure for Peter , ignoring his own son , Harry . Dafoe was cast as Osborn in November 2000 , after Nicolas Cage , John Malkovich , Christopher Walken and John Travolta turned down the role . Dafoe insisted on wearing the uncomfortable costume as he felt that a stuntman would not convey the character 's necessary body language . The 580 - piece suit took half an hour to put on . James Franco as Harry Osborn A boy who is Peter Parker 's best friend and Norman 's son . Before being cast as Peter 's best friend and flatmate , Franco had screen tested for Spider - Man himself . Cliff Robertson as Ben Parker May Parker 's husband and Peter Parker 's uncle , a fired electrician who is trying to find a new job . He tells Peter an important advice about responsibility out of concern for his changing behavior before being killed by a carjacker whom Peter failed to stop , and leaves Peter with the message , `` With great power comes great responsibility . '' Rosemary Harris as May Parker Ben Parker 's wife and Peter Parker 's aunt who is supportive of Peter 's love for Mary Jane . J.K. Simmons as J. Jonah Jameson The grouchy and miserly owner / publisher of the Daily Bugle who despises Spider - Man . Nonetheless , he has a good side and pays Peter for photos of Spider - Man , and refuses to tell the Green Goblin the identity of the photographer . Joe Manganiello as Flash Thompson : A repugnant high school jock who bullies Peter , and is defeated in a fight after Peter inherits his spider powers . Bill Nunn as Robbie Robertson The kindly editor at the Daily Bugle , who on occasion helps Peter . Michael Papajohn as The Carjacker The criminal who robs the wrestling manager who refuses to pay Peter Parker for his ring performance and believed to be responsible for murdering Ben Parker when he carjacks him in the course of his escape . He dies by falling from a window when confronted by Peter . His name is Dennis Carradine , but this is not revealed until the third film . Elizabeth Banks as Betty Brant As seen in past Spider - Man comics , Betty Brant is Jameson 's secretary who has a bit of a soft spot for Peter . Ron Perkins as Dr. Mendel Stromm A scientist employed by Oscorp that assists Norman Osborn in developing the Human Performance Enhancers that eventually transforms Osborn into the Green Goblin which kills him . Randy Savage as Bone Saw McGraw A wrestler whom Spider - Man defeats in the cage match at the wrestling tournament . Bruce Campbell , a long - time colleague of director Sam Raimi , has a cameo as the announcer at the wrestling ring Peter takes part in . Years later , Jeffrey Henderson , who worked on the storyboards for the cancelled Spider - Man 4 movie , released information regarding which villains would appear within the movie . One of those included Bruce Campbell 's character 's progression into Quentin Beck / Mysterio . Ted Raimi , Sam Raimi 's actor brother , plays a small role as editor 's assistant `` Hoffman '' . Sam Raimi himself is off - screen throwing popcorn at Peter as he enters the arena to wrestle Bonesaw McGraw . Spider - Man co-creator Stan Lee also has a cameo , in which he asks Peter , `` Hey kid , would you like a pair of these glasses ? They 're the kind they wore in X-Men . '' The scene was cut , and Lee only briefly appears in the film to grab a young girl from falling debris during the battle between Spider - Man and the Green Goblin in Times Square . R&B / soul singer Macy Gray appears as herself . One of the stunt performers in the film is actor Johnny Tri Nguyen . Robert Kerman , best known for his performances in pornographic and exploitation films , has a bit part as a tugboat captain . Lucy Lawless makes a cameo as a punk rock girl . A then unknown Sara Ramirez makes a brief appearance as a cop at the scene of the carjacking . It was also intended for Hugh Jackman to make a cameo appearance in the film as Logan / Wolverine , reprising the role from 2000 's X-Men , but the plan was abandoned because Jackman 's Wolverine costume could not be found . The novelization of Spider - Man identifies Liz Allan as the character portrayed by Sally Livingstone . Production ( edit ) Development ( edit ) Further information : Spider - Man in film § Development In April 1999 , although Sony Pictures optioned from Metro - Goldwyn - Mayer all preceding script versions of a Spider - Man film , it only exercised the options on `` the Cameron material , '' which contractually included a multi-author screenplay and a forty - five page `` scriptment '' credited only to James Cameron . The studio announced they were not hiring Cameron himself to direct the film nor would they be using his script . The studio lined up Roland Emmerich , Tony Scott , Chris Columbus , Ang Lee , David Fincher , Jan de Bont and M. Night Shyamalan as potential directors . Fincher did not want to depict the origin story , pitching the film as being based on The Night Gwen Stacy Died storyline , but the studio disagreed . Sam Raimi was attached to direct in January 2000 , for a summer 2001 release . He had been a fan of the comic book during his youth , and his passion for Spider - Man earned him the job . Cameron 's work became the basis of David Koepp 's first draft screenplay , often word for word . Cameron 's versions of the Marvel villains Electro and Sandman remained the antagonists . Koepp 's rewrite substituted the Green Goblin as the main antagonist and added Doctor Octopus as the secondary antagonist . Raimi felt the Green Goblin and the surrogate father - son theme between Norman Osborn and Peter Parker would be more interesting , thus , he dropped Doctor Octopus from the film . In June , Columbia hired Scott Rosenberg to rewrite Koepp 's material . Remaining a constant in all the rewrites was the `` organic webshooter '' idea from the Cameron `` scriptment '' . Raimi felt he would stretch the audience 's suspension of disbelief too far to have Peter invent mechanical webshooters . Rosenberg removed Doctor Octopus and created several new action sequences . Raimi felt adding a third origin story would make the film too complex . Sequences removed from the final film had Spider - Man protecting Fargas , the wheelchair - using Oscorp executive , from the Goblin , and Spider - Man defusing a hostage situation on a train . As production neared , producer Laura Ziskin hired her husband , award - winning writer Alvin Sargent , to polish the dialogue , primarily between Peter and Mary Jane . Columbia gave the Writers Guild of America a list of four writers as contributors to the final Spider - Man script : Rosenberg , Sargent and James Cameron , all three of whom voluntarily relinquished credit to the fourth , Koepp . Filming ( edit ) With Spider - Man cast , filming was set to begin the following November in New York City and on Sony soundstages . The film was set for release a year later , but when the film was postponed to be released on May 3 , 2002 , filming officially began on January 8 , 2001 in Culver City , California . After the terrorist attacks on September 11 , 2001 , certain sequences were re-filmed , and images of the Twin Towers were digitally erased from the film . Sony 's Stage 29 was used for Peter 's Forest Hills home , and Stage 27 was used for the wrestling sequence where Peter takes on Bonesaw McGraw ( Randy Savage ) . Stage 27 was also used for the complex Times Square sequence where Spider - Man and the Goblin battle for the first time , where a three - story set with a breakaway balcony piece was built . The scene also required shooting in Downey , California . On March 6 , 45 - year - old construction worker Tim Holcombe was killed when a forklift modified as a construction crane crashed into a construction basket that he was in . The following court case led to the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health to fine Sony $58,805 . In Los Angeles , locations included the Natural History Museum ( for the Columbia University lab where Peter is bitten and receives his powers ) , the Pacific Electricity Building ( the Daily Bugle offices ) and Greystone Mansion ( for the interiors of Norman Osborn 's home ) . In April , 4 of the Spider - Man costumes were stolen , and Sony put up a $25,000 reward for their return . They were recovered after 18 months and a former movie studio security guard and an accomplice were arrested . Production moved to New York City for two weeks , taking in locations such as the Queensboro Bridge , the exteriors of Columbia University 's Low Memorial Library and the New York Public Library , and a rooftop garden in the Rockefeller Center . The crew returned to Los Angeles where production and filming ended in June . The Flatiron Building was used for the Daily Bugle . Design ( edit ) Before settling on the look used in the film , the original headgear created for the Green Goblin was an animatronic mask created by Amalgamated Dynamics . The design was much more faithful to the comics than the finished product , and allowed for a full range of emotions to be expressed by the wearer . Ultimately , the mask was scrapped before an actor was chosen to play the Green Goblin , and a static helmet was produced for the film instead . Although it wound up being faithful to the comics , many designs were made for Spider - Man 's costumes : one concept costume designer James Acheson became fond of was the idea of having a red emblem over a black costume . Another , which would eventually lead to the final product , featured an enlarged logo on the chest and red stripes going down the sides of the legs . To create Spider - Man 's costume , Maguire was fitted for the skintight suit , being covered with layers of substance to create the suit 's shape . It was designed as a single piece , including the mask . A hard shell was worn underneath the mask to make the shape of the head look better and to keep the mask tight while keeping the wearer comfortable . For scenes where he would take his mask off , there was an alternate suit where the mask was a separate piece . The webbing , which accented the costume , was cut by computer . The mask eye lenses were designed to have a mirror look . Visual effects ( edit ) Visual effects supervisor John Dykstra was hired to produce the film 's visual effects in May 2000 . He convinced Raimi to make many of the stunts computer - generated , as they would have been physically impossible . Raimi had used more traditional special effects in his previous films and learned a lot about using computers during production . Raimi worked hard to plan all the sequences of Spider - Man swinging from buildings , which he described as , `` ballet in the sky . '' The complexity of such sequences meant the budget rose from an initially planned $70 million to around $100 million . Shots were made more complicated because of the main characters ' individual color schemes , so Spider - Man and the Green Goblin had to be shot separately for effects shots : Spider - Man was shot in front of a greenscreen , while the Green Goblin was shot against bluescreen . Shooting them together would have resulted in one character being erased from a shot . Dykstra said the biggest difficulty of creating Spider - Man was that as the character was masked , it immediately lost a lot of characterization . Without the context of eyes or mouth , a lot of body language had to be put in so that there would be emotional content . Raimi wanted to convey the essence of Spider - Man as being , `` the transition that occurs between him being a young man going through puberty and being a superhero . '' Dykstra said his crew of animators had never reached such a level of sophistication to give subtle hints of still making Spider - Man feel like a human being . When two studio executives were shown shots of the computer generated character , they believed it was actually Maguire performing stunts . In addition , Dykstra 's crew had to composite areas of New York City and replaced every car in shots with digital models . Raimi did not want it to feel entirely like animation , so none of the shots were 100 % computer - generated . Release ( edit ) Original Spider - Man teaser poster , which was recalled from theatres following 9 / 11 ( the World Trade Center is reflected in Spider - Man 's eyes ) After the terrorist attacks on the United States on September 11 , 2001 , Sony had to recall teaser posters which showed a close - up of Spider - Man 's face with the New York skyline ( including , prominently , the World Trade Center towers ) reflected in his eyes . The film 's original teaser trailer , released in 2001 and shown before Atlantis : The Lost Empire , American Pie 2 , Final Fantasy : The Spirits Within , Planet of the Apes , and Jurassic Park III , featured a mini-film plot involving a group of bank robbers escaping in a Eurocopter AS355 Twin Squirrel helicopter , which gets caught from behind and propelled backward into what at first appears to be a net , then is shown to be a gigantic spider web spun between the World Trade Center towers . According to Sony , the trailer did not contain any actual footage from the film itself and is consequently one of the most popular `` Special Shoot '' trailers since Terminator 2 : Judgment Day . The trailer and poster were pulled after the events of the attacks , but can be found on the internet on websites such as YouTube . Before the film 's British theatrical release in June 2002 , the British Board of Film Classification ( BBFC ) gave the film a `` 12 '' certificate . Due to Spider - Man 's popularity with younger children , this prompted much controversy . The BBFC defended its decision , arguing that the film could have been given a `` 15 '' . Despite this , North Norfolk and Breckland District Councils , in East Anglia , changed it to a `` PG '' , and Tameside council , Manchester , denoted it a `` PG - 12 '' . The U.S. rated it `` PG - 13 '' for `` stylized violence and action '' . In late August , the BBFC relaxed its policy to `` 12A '' , leading Sony to re-release the film . Reception ( edit ) Box Office performance ( edit ) Spider - Man became the first film to pass the $100 million mark in a single weekend , even when adjusting for inflation , with its $114,844,116 mark establishing a new opening weekend record . The gross surpassed the previous record holder 's Harry Potter and the Sorcerer 's Stone $90 million opening ; on this , Rick Lyman of The New York Times wrote , `` while industry executives had expected a strong opening for the film because there was little competition in the marketplace and prerelease polling indicated intense interest from all age groups , no one predicted that Spider - Man would surpass the Harry Potter record . '' The film also set a record for crossing the $100 million milestone in 3 days , at the time being the fastest any film had reached the mark . This opening weekend haul had an average of $31,769 per theater , which at time , Box Office Mojo reported as being `` the highest per theater average ever for an ultra-wide release . '' The film 's three - day record was surpassed by Pirates of the Caribbean : Dead Man 's Chest four years later . The $114.8 million opening weekend was the highest at the North America box office film for a non-sequel , until it was surpassed eight years later by Alice in Wonderland . With the release in the United States and Canada on May 3 , 2002 on 7,500 screens at 3,615 theaters , the film earned $39,406,872 on its opening day , averaging $10,901 per theater . This was the highest opening day at the time until it was surpassed by its sequel Spider - Man 2 's $40.4 million haul in 2004 . Spider - Man also set an all - time record for the highest earnings in a single day with $43,622,264 on its second day of release , a record later surpassed by Shrek 2 in 2004 . On the Sunday during its opening weekend , the film earned an additional $31,814,980 , the highest gross a film took in on a Sunday , at the time . The film stayed at the top position in its second weekend , dropping only 38 % and grossing another $71,417,527 , while averaging $19,755.89 per theater . At the time , this was the highest - grossing second weekend of any film . During its second weekend , the film crossed the $200 million mark on its ninth day of release , also a record at the time . At the end of its second weekend , the film brought in a 10 - day total of $223,040,031 . The film dropped to the second position in its third weekend , behind Star Wars : Episode II -- Attack of the Clones , but still made $45,036,912 , dropping only 37 % , averaging $12,458 per theater , and bringing the 17 - day tally to $285,573,668 . Its third weekend haul set the record for highest - grossing third weekend , which was first surpassed by Avatar ( 2009 ) . It stayed at the second position in its fourth weekend , grossing $35,814,844 over the four - day Memorial Day frame , dropping only 21 % while expanding to 3,876 theaters , averaging $9,240 over four days , and bringing the 25 - day gross to $333,641,492 . In the box office , Spider - Man became 2002 's highest - grossing film with $403,706,375 in the U.S. and Canada , defeating The Lord of the Rings : The Two Towers and Star Wars Episode II : Attack of the Clones . Spider - Man currently ranks as the 29th - highest - grossing film of all time in the U.S. and Canada , not adjusted for inflation . The film also grossed $418,002,176 from its international markets , bringing its worldwide total to $821,708,551 , making it 2002 's third - highest - grossing film behind The Lord of the Rings : The Two Towers and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and the 58th - highest - grossing film of all time , worldwide . The film sold an estimated 69,484,700 tickets in the US . Spider - Man was the highest - grossing superhero origin film , a record it held for 15 years until it was surpassed by Wonder Woman ( 2017 ) . It is the eighth - highest - grossing superhero film , as well as eighth - highest - grossing comic book adaptation in general . International markets which generated grosses in excess of $10 million include Australia ( $16.9 million ) , Brazil ( $17.4 million ) , France , Algeria , Monaco , Morocco and Tunisia ( $32.9 million ) , Germany ( $30.7 million ) , Italy ( $20.8 million ) , Japan ( $56.2 million ) , Mexico ( $31.2 million ) , South Korea ( $16.98 million ) , Spain ( $23.7 million ) , and the United Kingdom , Ireland and Malta ( $45.8 million ) .

Its domestic gross was eventually topped by The Dark Knight ( 2008 ) . Its worldwide gross was first surpassed by Spider - Man 3 ( 2007 ) . Critical response ( edit ) On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes the film has an approval rating of 90 % based on 239 reviews , with an average rating of 7.7 / 10 . The site 's critical consensus reads , `` Not only does Spider - Man provide a good dose of web - swinging fun , it also has a heart , thanks to the combined charms of director Sam Raimi and star Tobey Maguire . '' On Metacritic , the film has an average score of 73 out of 100 , based on 37 critics , indicating `` generally favorable reviews '' . Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of `` A -- '' on an A+ to F scale . The casting , mainly Tobey Maguire , Willem Dafoe and JK Simmons , is often cited as one of the film 's high points . Eric Harrison , of the Houston Chronicle , was initially skeptical of the casting of Maguire , but , after seeing the film , he stated , `` within seconds , however , it becomes difficult to imagine anyone else in the role . '' USA Today critic Mike Clark believed the casting rivaled that of Christopher Reeve as 1978 's Superman . Owen Gleiberman , of Entertainment Weekly , had mixed feelings about the casting , particularly Tobey Maguire . `` Maguire , winning as he is , never quite gets the chance to bring the two sides of Spidey -- the boy and the man , the romantic and the avenger -- together . '' The Hollywood Reporter 's Kirk Honeycutt thought , `` the filmmakers ' imaginations work in overdrive from the clever design of the cobwebby opening credits and Spider - Man and M.J. 's upside down kiss -- after one of his many rescues of her -- to a finale that leaves character relationships open ended for future adventures . '' Conversely , LA Weekly 's Manohla Dargis wrote , `` It is n't that Spider - Man is inherently unsuited for live - action translation ; it 's just that he 's not particularly interesting or , well , animated . '' Giving it 2.5 / 4 stars , Roger Ebert felt the film lacked a decent action element ; `` Consider the scene where Spider - Man is given a cruel choice between saving Mary Jane or a cable car full of school kids . He tries to save both , so that everyone dangles from webbing that seems about to pull loose . The visuals here could have given an impression of the enormous weights and tensions involved , but instead the scene seems more like a bloodless storyboard of the idea . '' Stylistically , there was heavy criticism of the Green Goblin 's costume , which led IGN 's Richard George to comment years later , `` We 're not saying the comic book costume is exactly thrilling , but the Goblin armor ( the helmet in particular ) from Spider - Man is almost comically bad ... Not only is it not frightening , it prohibits expression . '' Entertainment Weekly put `` the kiss in Spider - Man '' on its end - of - the - decade `` best - of '' list , saying , `` There 's a fine line between romantic and corny . And the rain - soaked smooch between Spider - Man and Mary Jane from 2002 tap - dances right on that line . The reason it works ? Even if she suspects he 's Peter Parker , she does n't try to find out . And that 's sexy . '' Empire magazine ranked Spider - Man 437 in its 500 Greatest Movies of All Time list the following year .

Caspar David Friedrich , Wanderer above the Sea of Fog , 1818 Eugène Delacroix , The Death of Sardanapalus , 1827 , taking its Orientalist subject from a play by Lord Byron Philipp Otto Runge , The Morning , 1808 Romanticism ( also the Romantic era or the Romantic period ) was an artistic , literary , musical and intellectual movement that originated in Europe toward the end of the 18th century , and in most areas was at its peak in the approximate period from 1800 to 1850 . Romanticism was characterized by its emphasis on emotion and individualism as well as glorification of all the past and nature , preferring the medieval rather than the classical . It was partly a reaction to the Industrial Revolution , the aristocratic social and political norms of the Age of Enlightenment , and the scientific rationalization of nature -- all components of modernity . It was embodied most strongly in the visual arts , music , and literature , but had a major impact on historiography , education , and the natural sciences . It had a significant and complex effect on politics , with romantic thinkers influencing liberalism , radicalism , conservatism and nationalism . The movement emphasized intense emotion as an authentic source of aesthetic experience , placing new emphasis on such emotions as apprehension , horror and terror , and awe -- especially that experienced in confronting the new aesthetic categories of the sublimity and beauty of nature . It elevated folk art and ancient custom to something noble , but also spontaneity as a desirable characteristic ( as in the musical impromptu ) . In contrast to the Rationalism and Classicism of the Enlightenment , Romanticism revived medievalism and elements of art and narrative perceived as authentically medieval in an attempt to escape population growth , early urban sprawl , and industrialism . Although the movement was rooted in the German Sturm und Drang movement , which preferred intuition and emotion to the rationalism of the Enlightenment , the events and ideologies of the French Revolution were also proximate factors . Romanticism assigned a high value to the achievements of `` heroic '' individualists and artists , whose examples , it maintained , would raise the quality of society . It also promoted the individual imagination as a critical authority allowed of freedom from classical notions of form in art . There was a strong recourse to historical and natural inevitability , a Zeitgeist , in the representation of its ideas . In the second half of the 19th century , Realism was offered as a polar opposite to Romanticism . The decline of Romanticism during this time was associated with multiple processes , including social and political changes and the spread of nationalism .

The importance the Romantics placed on emotion is summed up in the remark of the German painter Caspar David Friedrich that `` the artist 's feeling is his law '' . To William Wordsworth , poetry should begin as `` the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings , '' which the poet then `` recollect ( s ) in tranquility , '' evoking a new but corresponding emotion the poet can then mould into art . To express these feelings , it was considered that the content of the art had to come from the imagination of the artist , with as little interference as possible from `` artificial '' rules that dictated what a work should consist of . Samuel Taylor Coleridge and others believed there were natural laws that the imagination -- at least of a good creative artist -- would unconsciously follow through artistic inspiration if left alone . As well as rules , the influence of models from other works was considered to impede the creator 's own imagination , so that originality was essential . The concept of the genius , or artist who was able to produce his own original work through this process of creation from nothingness , is key to Romanticism , and to be derivative was the worst sin . This idea is often called `` romantic originality . '' William Blake , The Little Girl Found , from Songs of Innocence and Experience , 1794 Not essential to Romanticism , but so widespread as to be normative , was a strong belief and interest in the importance of nature . However , this is particularly in the effect of nature upon the artist when he is surrounded by it , preferably alone . In contrast to the usually very social art of the Enlightenment , Romantics were distrustful of the human world , and tended to believe that a close connection with nature was mentally and morally healthy . Romantic art addressed its audiences with what was intended to be felt as the personal voice of the artist . So , in literature , `` much of romantic poetry invited the reader to identify the protagonists with the poets themselves '' . According to Isaiah Berlin , Romanticism embodied `` a new and restless spirit , seeking violently to burst through old and cramping forms , a nervous preoccupation with perpetually changing inner states of consciousness , a longing for the unbounded and the indefinable , for perpetual movement and change , an effort to return to the forgotten sources of life , a passionate effort at self - assertion both individual and collective , a search after means of expressing an unappeasable yearning for unattainable goals . '' Etymology ( edit ) The group of words with the root `` Roman '' in the various European languages , such as `` romance '' and `` Romanesque '' , has a complicated history , but by the middle of the 18th century `` romantic '' in English and romantique in French were both in common use as adjectives of praise for natural phenomena such as views and sunsets , in a sense close to modern English usage but without the sexual connotation . The application of the term to literature first became common in Germany , where the circle around the Schlegel brothers , critics August and Friedrich , began to speak of romantische Poesie ( `` romantic poetry '' ) in the 1790s , contrasting it with `` classic '' but in terms of spirit rather than merely dating . Friedrich Schlegel wrote in his Dialogue on Poetry ( 1800 ) , `` I seek and find the romantic among the older moderns , in Shakespeare , in Cervantes , in Italian poetry , in that age of chivalry , love and fable , from which the phenomenon and the word itself are derived . '' In both French and German the closeness of the adjective to roman , meaning the fairly new literary form of the novel , had some effect on the sense of the word in those languages . The use of the word did not become general very quickly , and was probably spread more widely in France by its persistent use by Madame de Staël in her De l'Allemagne ( 1813 ) , recounting her travels in Germany . In England Wordsworth wrote in a preface to his poems of 1815 of the `` romantic harp '' and `` classic lyre '' , but in 1820 Byron could still write , perhaps slightly disingenuously , `` I perceive that in Germany , as well as in Italy , there is a great struggle about what they call ' Classical ' and ' Romantic ' , terms which were not subjects of classification in England , at least when I left it four or five years ago '' . It is only from the 1820s that Romanticism certainly knew itself by its name , and in 1824 the Académie française took the wholly ineffective step of issuing a decree condemning it in literature . The period ( edit ) The period typically called Romantic varies greatly between different countries and different artistic media or areas of thought . Margaret Drabble described it in literature as taking place `` roughly between 1770 and 1848 '' , and few dates much earlier than 1770 will be found . In English literature , M.H. Abrams placed it between 1789 , or 1798 , this latter a very typical view , and about 1830 , perhaps a little later than some other critics . Others have proposed 1780 -- 1830 . In other fields and other countries the period denominated as Romantic can be considerably different ; musical Romanticism , for example , is generally regarded as only having ceased as a major artistic force as late as 1910 , but in an extreme extension the Four Last Songs of Richard Strauss are described stylistically as `` Late Romantic '' and were composed in 1946 -- 48 . However , in most fields the Romantic Period is said to be over by about 1850 , or earlier . The early period of the Romantic Era was a time of war , with the French Revolution ( 1789 -- 1799 ) followed by the Napoleonic Wars until 1815 . These wars , along with the political and social turmoil that went along with them , served as the background for Romanticism . The key generation of French Romantics born between 1795 -- 1805 had , in the words of one of their number , Alfred de Vigny , been `` conceived between battles , attended school to the rolling of drums '' . According to Jacques Barzun , there were three generations of Romantic artists . The first emerged in the 1790s and 1800s , the second in the 1820s , and the third later in the century . Context and place in history ( edit ) The more precise characterization and specific definition of Romanticism has been the subject of debate in the fields of intellectual history and literary history throughout the 20th century , without any great measure of consensus emerging . That it was part of the Counter-Enlightenment , a reaction against the Age of Enlightenment , is generally accepted in current scholarship . Its relationship to the French Revolution , which began in 1789 in the very early stages of the period , is clearly important , but highly variable depending on geography and individual reactions . Most Romantics can be said to be broadly progressive in their views , but a considerable number always had , or developed , a wide range of conservative views , and nationalism was in many countries strongly associated with Romanticism , as discussed in detail below . In philosophy and the history of ideas , Romanticism was seen by Isaiah Berlin as disrupting for over a century the classic Western traditions of rationality and the idea of moral absolutes and agreed values , leading `` to something like the melting away of the very notion of objective truth '' , and hence not only to nationalism , but also fascism and totalitarianism , with a gradual recovery coming only after World War II . For the Romantics , Berlin says , in the realm of ethics , politics , aesthetics it was the authenticity and sincerity of the pursuit of inner goals that mattered ; this applied equally to individuals and groups -- states , nations , movements . This is most evident in the aesthetics of romanticism , where the notion of eternal models , a Platonic vision of ideal beauty , which the artist seeks to convey , however imperfectly , on canvas or in sound , is replaced by a passionate belief in spiritual freedom , individual creativity . The painter , the poet , the composer do not hold up a mirror to nature , however ideal , but invent ; they do not imitate ( the doctrine of mimesis ) , but create not merely the means but the goals that they pursue ; these goals represent the self - expression of the artist 's own unique , inner vision , to set aside which in response to the demands of some `` external '' voice -- church , state , public opinion , family friends , arbiters of taste -- is an act of betrayal of what alone justifies their existence for those who are in any sense creative . John William Waterhouse , The Lady of Shalott , 1888 , after a poem by Tennyson ; like many Victorian paintings , romantic but not Romantic Arthur Lovejoy attempted to demonstrate the difficulty of defining Romanticism in his seminal article `` On The Discrimination of Romanticisms '' in his Essays in the History of Ideas ( 1948 ) ; some scholars see Romanticism as essentially continuous with the present , some like Robert Hughes see in it the inaugural moment of modernity , and some like Chateaubriand , Novalis and Samuel Taylor Coleridge see it as the beginning of a tradition of resistance to Enlightenment rationalism -- a `` Counter-Enlightenment '' -- to be associated most closely with German Romanticism . An earlier definition comes from Charles Baudelaire : `` Romanticism is precisely situated neither in choice of subject nor exact truth , but in the way of feeling . '' The end of the Romantic era is marked in some areas by a new style of Realism , which affected literature , especially the novel and drama , painting , and even music , through Verismo opera . This movement was led by France , with Balzac and Flaubert in literature and Courbet in painting ; Stendhal and Goya were important precursors of Realism in their respective media . However , Romantic styles , now often representing the established and safe style against which Realists rebelled , continued to flourish in many fields for the rest of the century and beyond . In music such works from after about 1850 are referred to by some writers as `` Late Romantic '' and by others as `` Neoromantic '' or `` Postromantic '' , but other fields do not usually use these terms ; in English literature and painting the convenient term `` Victorian '' avoids having to characterise the period further . In northern Europe , the Early Romantic visionary optimism and belief that the world was in the process of great change and improvement had largely vanished , and some art became more conventionally political and polemical as its creators engaged polemically with the world as it was . Elsewhere , including in very different ways the United States and Russia , feelings that great change was underway or just about to come were still possible . Displays of intense emotion in art remained prominent , as did the exotic and historical settings pioneered by the Romantics , but experimentation with form and technique was generally reduced , often replaced with meticulous technique , as in the poems of Tennyson or many paintings . If not realist , late 19th - century art was often extremely detailed , and pride was taken in adding authentic details in a way that earlier Romantics did not trouble with . Many Romantic ideas about the nature and purpose of art , above all the pre-eminent importance of originality , remained important for later generations , and often underlie modern views , despite opposition from theorists . Romantic literature ( edit ) See also : Romantic poetry Henry Wallis , The Death of Chatterton 1856 , by suicide at 17 in 1770 In literature , Romanticism found recurrent themes in the evocation or criticism of the past , the cult of `` sensibility '' with its emphasis on women and children , the isolation of the artist or narrator , and respect for nature . Furthermore , several romantic authors , such as Edgar Allan Poe and Nathaniel Hawthorne , based their writings on the supernatural / occult and human psychology . Romanticism tended to regard satire as something unworthy of serious attention , a prejudice still influential today . The precursors of Romanticism in English poetry go back to the middle of the 18th century , including figures such as Joseph Warton ( headmaster at Winchester College ) and his brother Thomas Warton , Professor of Poetry at Oxford University . Joseph maintained that invention and imagination were the chief qualities of a poet . Thomas Chatterton is generally considered the first Romantic poet in English . The Scottish poet James Macpherson influenced the early development of Romanticism with the international success of his Ossian cycle of poems published in 1762 , inspiring both Goethe and the young Walter Scott . Both Chatterton and Macpherson 's work involved elements of fraud , as what they claimed was earlier literature that they had discovered or compiled was , in fact , entirely their own work . The Gothic novel , beginning with Horace Walpole 's The Castle of Otranto ( 1764 ) , was an important precursor of one strain of Romanticism , with a delight in horror and threat , and exotic picturesque settings , matched in Walpole 's case by his role in the early revival of Gothic architecture . Tristram Shandy , a novel by Laurence Sterne ( 1759 -- 67 ) introduced a whimsical version of the anti-rational sentimental novel to the English literary public . Germany ( edit ) Title page of Volume III of Des Knaben Wunderhorn , 1808 An early German influence came from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe , whose 1774 novel The Sorrows of Young Werther had young men throughout Europe emulating its protagonist , a young artist with a very sensitive and passionate temperament . At that time Germany was a multitude of small separate states , and Goethe 's works would have a seminal influence in developing a unifying sense of nationalism . Another philosophic influence came from the German idealism of Johann Gottlieb Fichte and Friedrich Schelling , making Jena ( where Fichte lived , as well as Schelling , Hegel , Schiller and the brothers Schlegel ) a center for early German Romanticism ( see Jena Romanticism ) . Important writers were Ludwig Tieck , Novalis ( Heinrich von Ofterdingen , 1799 ) , Heinrich von Kleist and Friedrich Hölderlin . Heidelberg later became a center of German Romanticism , where writers and poets such as Clemens Brentano , Achim von Arnim , and Joseph Freiherr von Eichendorff met regularly in literary circles . Important motifs in German Romanticism are travelling , nature , for example the German Forest , and Germanic myths . The later German Romanticism of , for example E.T.A. Hoffmann 's Der Sandmann ( The Sandman ) , 1817 , and Joseph Freiherr von Eichendorff 's Das Marmorbild ( The Marble Statue ) , 1819 , was darker in its motifs and has gothic elements . The significance to Romanticism of childhood innocence , the importance of imagination , and racial theories all combined to give an unprecedented importance to folk literature , non-classical mythology and children 's literature , above all in Germany . Brentano and von Arnim were significant literary figures who together published Des Knaben Wunderhorn ( `` The Boy 's Magic Horn '' or cornucopia ) , a collection of versified folk tales , in 1806 -- 08 . The first collection of Grimms ' Fairy Tales by the Brothers Grimm was published in 1812 . Unlike the much later work of Hans Christian Andersen , who was publishing his invented tales in Danish from 1835 , these German works were at least mainly based on collected folk tales , and the Grimms remained true to the style of the telling in their early editions , though later rewriting some parts . One of the brothers , Jacob , published in 1835 Deutsche Mythologie , a long academic work on Germanic mythology . Another strain is exemplified by Schiller 's highly emotional language and the depiction of physical violence in his play The Robbers of 1781 . Great Britain ( edit ) England ( edit ) Main article : Romantic literature in English George Henry Harlow , Byron c. 1816 In English literature , the key figures of the Romantic movement are considered to be the group of poets including William Wordsworth , Samuel Taylor Coleridge , John Keats , Lord Byron , Percy Bysshe Shelley , and the much older William Blake , followed later by the isolated figure of John Clare ; also such novelists as Walter Scott from Scotland and Mary Shelley , and the essayists William Hazlitt and Charles Lamb . The publication in 1798 of Lyrical Ballads , with many of the finest poems by Wordsworth and Coleridge , is often held to mark the start of the movement . The majority of the poems were by Wordsworth , and many dealt with the lives of the poor in his native Lake District , or his feelings about nature -- which he more fully developed in his long poem The Prelude , never published in his lifetime . The longest poem in the volume was Coleridge 's The Rime of the Ancient Mariner , which showed the Gothic side of English Romanticism , and the exotic settings that many works featured . In the period when they were writing , the Lake Poets were widely regarded as a marginal group of radicals , though they were supported by the critic and writer William Hazlitt and others . Girodet , Chateaubriand in Rome , 1808 In contrast Lord Byron and Walter Scott achieved enormous fame and influence throughout Europe with works exploiting the violence and drama of their exotic and historical settings ; Goethe called Byron `` undoubtedly the greatest genius of our century '' . Scott achieved immediate success with his long narrative poem The Lay of the Last Minstrel in 1805 , followed by the full epic poem Marmion in 1808 . Both were set in the distant Scottish past , already evoked in Ossian ; Romanticism and Scotland were to have a long and fruitful partnership . Byron had equal success with the first part of Childe Harold 's Pilgrimage in 1812 , followed by four `` Turkish tales '' , all in the form of long poems , starting with The Giaour in 1813 , drawing from his Grand Tour , which had reached Ottoman Europe , and orientalizing the themes of the Gothic novel in verse . These featured different variations of the `` Byronic hero '' , and his own life contributed a further version . Scott meanwhile was effectively inventing the historical novel , beginning in 1814 with Waverley , set in the 1745 Jacobite Rising , which was an enormous and highly profitable success , followed by over 20 further Waverley Novels over the next 17 years , with settings going back to the Crusades that he had researched to a degree that was new in literature . In contrast to Germany , Romanticism in English literature had little connection with nationalism , and the Romantics were often regarded with suspicion for the sympathy many felt for the ideals of the French Revolution , whose collapse and replacement with the dictatorship of Napoleon was , as elsewhere in Europe , a shock to the movement . Though his novels celebrated Scottish identity and history , Scott was politically a firm Unionist . Several spent much time abroad , and a famous stay on Lake Geneva with Byron and Shelley in 1816 produced the hugely influential novel Frankenstein by Shelley 's wife - to - be Mary Shelley and the novella The Vampyre by Byron 's doctor John William Polidori . The lyrics of Robert Burns in Scotland and Thomas Moore , from Ireland reflected in different ways their countries and the Romantic interest in folk literature , but neither had a fully Romantic approach to life or their work . Though they have modern critical champions such as György Lukács , Scott 's novels are today more likely to be experienced in the form of the many operas that composers continued to base on them over the following decades , such as Donizetti 's Lucia di Lammermoor and Vincenzo Bellini 's I puritani ( both 1835 ) . Byron is now most highly regarded for his short lyrics and his generally unromantic prose writings , especially his letters , and his unfinished satire Don Juan . Unlike many Romantics , Byron 's widely publicised personal life appeared to match his work , and his death at 36 in 1824 from disease when helping the Greek War of Independence appeared from a distance to be a suitably Romantic end , entrenching his legend . Keats in 1821 and Shelley in 1822 both died in Italy , Blake ( at almost 70 ) in 1827 , and Coleridge largely ceased to write in the 1820s . Wordsworth was by 1820 respectable and highly regarded , holding a government sinecure , but wrote relatively little . In the discussion of English literature , the Romantic period is often regarded as finishing around the 1820s , or sometimes even earlier , although many authors of the succeeding decades were no less committed to Romantic values . The most significant novelist in English during the peak Romantic period , other than Walter Scott , was Jane Austen , whose essentially conservative world - view had little in common with her Romantic contemporaries , retaining a strong belief in decorum and social rules , though critics have detected tremors under the surface of some works , especially Mansfield Park ( 1814 ) and Persuasion ( 1817 ) . But around the mid-century the undoubtedly Romantic novels of the Yorkshire - based Brontë family appeared , in particular Charlotte 's Jane Eyre and Emily 's Wuthering Heights , which were both published in 1847 . Byron , Keats and Shelley all wrote for the stage , but with little success in England , with Shelley 's The Cenci perhaps the best work produced , though that was not played in a public theatre in England until a century after his death . Byron 's plays , along with dramatizations of his poems and Scott 's novels , were much more popular on the Continent , and especially in France , and through these versions several were turned into operas , many still performed today . If contemporary poets had little success on the stage , the period was a legendary one for performances of Shakespeare , and went some way to restoring his original texts and removing the Augustan `` improvements '' to them . The greatest actor of the period , Edmund Kean , restored the tragic ending to King Lear ; Coleridge said that , `` Seeing him act was like reading Shakespeare by flashes of lightning . '' Scotland ( edit ) Main article : Romanticism in Scotland Robert Burns in Alexander Nasmyth 's portrait of 1787 Although after union with England in 1707 Scotland increasingly adopted English language and wider cultural norms , its literature developed a distinct national identity and began to enjoy an international reputation . Allan Ramsay ( 1686 -- 1758 ) laid the foundations of a reawakening of interest in older Scottish literature , as well as leading the trend for pastoral poetry , helping to develop the Habbie stanza as a poetic form . James Macpherson ( 1736 -- 96 ) was the first Scottish poet to gain an international reputation . Claiming to have found poetry written by the ancient bard Ossian , he published translations that acquired international popularity , being proclaimed as a Celtic equivalent of the Classical epics . Fingal , written in 1762 , was speedily translated into many European languages , and its appreciation of natural beauty and treatment of the ancient legend has been credited more than any single work with bringing about the Romantic movement in European , and especially in German literature , through its influence on Johann Gottfried von Herder and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe . It was also popularised in France by figures that included Napoleon . Eventually it became clear that the poems were not direct translations from the Gaelic , but flowery adaptations made to suit the aesthetic expectations of his audience . Robert Burns ( 1759 -- 96 ) and Walter Scott ( 1771 -- 1832 ) were highly influenced by the Ossian cycle . Burns , an Ayrshire poet and lyricist , is widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland and a major influence on the Romantic movement . His poem ( and song ) `` Auld Lang Syne '' is often sung at Hogmanay ( the last day of the year ) , and `` Scots Wha Hae '' served for a long time as an unofficial national anthem of the country . Scott began as a poet and also collected and published Scottish ballads . His first prose work , Waverley in 1814 , is often called the first historical novel . It launched a highly successful career , with other historical novels such as Rob Roy ( 1817 ) , The Heart of Midlothian ( 1818 ) and Ivanhoe ( 1820 ) . Scott probably did more than any other figure to define and popularise Scottish cultural identity in the nineteenth century . Other major literary figures connected with Romanticism include the poets and novelists James Hogg ( 1770 -- 1835 ) , Allan Cunningham ( 1784 -- 1842 ) and John Galt ( 1779 -- 1839 ) . One of the most significant figures of the Romantic movement , Lord Byron , was brought up in Scotland until he inherited his family 's English peerage . Raeburn 's portrait of Walter Scott in 1822 Scotland was also the location of two of the most important literary magazines of the era , The Edinburgh Review ( founded in 1802 ) and Blackwood 's Magazine ( founded in 1817 ) , which had a major impact on the development of British literature and drama in the era of Romanticism . Ian Duncan and Alex Benchimol suggest that publications like the novels of Scott and these magazines were part of a highly dynamic Scottish Romanticism that by the early nineteenth century , caused Edinburgh to emerge as the cultural capital of Britain and become central to a wider formation of a `` British Isles nationalism . '' Scottish `` national drama '' emerged in the early 1800s , as plays with specifically Scottish themes began to dominate the Scottish stage . Theatres had been discouraged by the Church of Scotland and fears of Jacobite assemblies . In the later eighteenth century , many plays were written for and performed by small amateur companies and were not published and so most have been lost . Towards the end of the century there were `` closet dramas '' , primarily designed to be read , rather than performed , including work by Scott , Hogg , Galt and Joanna Baillie ( 1762 -- 1851 ) , often influenced by the ballad tradition and Gothic Romanticism . France ( edit ) Romanticism was relatively late in developing in French literature , even more so than in the visual arts . The 18th - century precursor to Romanticism , the cult of sensibility , had become associated with the Ancien regime , and the French Revolution had been more of an inspiration to foreign writers than those experiencing it at first hand . The first major figure was François - René de Chateaubriand , a minor aristocrat who had remained a royalist throughout the Revolution , and returned to France from exile in England and America under Napoleon , with whose regime he had an uneasy relationship . His writings , all in prose , included some fiction , such as his influential novella of exile René ( 1802 ) , which anticipated Byron in its alienated hero , but mostly contemporary history and politics , his travels , a defence of religion and the medieval spirit ( Génie du christianisme 1802 ) , and finally in the 1830s and 1840s his enormous autobiography Mémoires d'Outre - Tombe ( `` Memoirs from beyond the grave '' ) . The `` battle of Hernani '' was fought nightly at the theatre in 1830 After the Bourbon Restoration , French Romanticism developed in the lively world of Parisian theatre , with productions of Shakespeare , Schiller ( in France a key Romantic author ) , and adaptations of Scott and Byron alongside French authors , several of whom began to write in the late 1820s . Cliques of pro - and anti-Romantics developed , and productions were often accompanied by raucous vocalizing by the two sides , including the shouted assertion by one theatregoer in 1822 that `` Shakespeare , c'est l'aide - de-camp de Wellington '' ( `` Shakespeare is Wellington 's aide - de-camp '' ) . Alexandre Dumas began as a dramatist , with a series of successes beginning with Henri III et sa cour ( 1829 ) before turning to novels that were mostly historical adventures somewhat in the manner of Scott , most famously The Three Musketeers and The Count of Monte Cristo , both of 1844 . Victor Hugo published as a poet in the 1820s before achieving success on the stage with Hernani -- a historical drama in a quasi-Shakespearian style that had famously riotous performances , themselves as much a spectacle as the play , on its first run in 1830 . Like Dumas , he is best known for his novels , and was already writing The Hunchback of Notre - Dame ( 1831 ) , one of the best known works of his long career . The preface to his unperformed play `` Cromwell '' gives an important manifesto of French Romanticism , stating that `` there are no rules , or models '' . The career of Prosper Mérimée followed a similar pattern ; he is now best known as the originator of the story of Carmen , with his novella of 1845 . Alfred de Vigny remains best known as a dramatist , with his play on the life of the English poet Chatterton ( 1835 ) perhaps his best work . French Romantic poets of the 1830s to 1850s include Alfred de Musset , Gérard de Nerval , Alphonse de Lamartine and the flamboyant Théophile Gautier , whose prolific output in various forms continued until his death in 1872 . George Sand took over from Germaine de Staël as the leading female writer , and was a central figure of the Parisian literary scene , famous both for her novels and criticism and her affairs with Chopin and several others . Stendhal is today probably the most highly regarded French novelist of the period , but he stands in a complex relation with Romanticism , and is notable for his penetrating psychological insight into his characters and his realism , qualities rarely prominent in Romantic fiction . As a survivor of the French retreat from Moscow in 1812 , fantasies of heroism and adventure had little appeal for him , and like Goya he is often seen as a forerunner of Realism . His most important works are Le Rouge et le Noir ( The Red and the Black , 1830 ) and La Chartreuse de Parme ( The Charterhouse of Parma , 1839 ) . Poland ( edit ) Adam Mickiewicz on the Ayu - Dag , by Walenty Wańkowicz Main article : Romanticism in Poland Romanticism in Poland is often taken to begin with the publication of Adam Mickiewicz 's first poems in 1822 , and end with the crushing of the January Uprising of 1863 against the Russians . It was strongly marked by interest in Polish history . Polish Romanticism revived the old `` Sarmatism '' traditions of the szlachta or Polish nobility. Old traditions and customs were revived and portrayed in a positive light in the Polish messianic movement and in works of great Polish poets such as Adam Mickiewicz ( Pan Tadeusz ) , Juliusz Słowacki and Zygmunt Krasiński , as well as prose writers such as Henryk Sienkiewicz . This close connection between Polish Romanticism and Polish history became one of the defining qualities of the literature of Polish Romanticism period , differentiating it from that of other countries . They had not suffered the loss of national statehood as was the case with Poland . Influenced by the general spirit and main ideas of European Romanticism , the literature of Polish Romanticism is unique , as many scholars have pointed out , in having developed largely outside of Poland and in its emphatic focus upon the issue of Polish nationalism . The Polish intelligentsia , along with leading members of its government , left Poland in the early 1830s , during what is referred to as the `` Great Emigration , '' resettling in France , Germany , Great Britain , Turkey , and the United States . Juliusz Słowacki , a Polish poet considered one of the `` Three National Bards '' of Polish literature -- a major figure in the Polish Romantic period , and the father of modern Polish drama . Their art featured emotionalism and irrationality , fantasy and imagination , personality cults , folklore and country life , and the propagation of ideals of freedom . In the second period , many of the Polish Romantics worked abroad , often banished from Poland by the occupying powers due to their politically subversive ideas . Their work became increasingly dominated by the ideals of political struggle for freedom and their country 's sovereignty . Elements of mysticism became more prominent . There developed the idea of the poeta wieszcz ( the prophet ) . The wieszcz ( bard ) functioned as spiritual leader to the nation fighting for its independence . The most notable poet so recognized was Adam Mickiewicz . Zygmunt Krasinski also wrote to inspire political and religious hope in his countrymen . Unlike his predecessors , who called for victory at whatever price in Poland 's struggle against Russia , Krasinski emphasized Poland 's spiritual role in its fight for independence , advocating an intellectual rather than a military superiority . His works best exemplify the Messianic movement in Poland : in two early dramas , Nie - boska komedyia ( 1835 ; The Undivine Comedy ) and Irydion ( 1836 ; Iridion ) , as well as in the later Psalmy przyszłości ( 1845 ) , he asserted that Poland was the Christ of Europe : specifically chosen by God to carry the world 's burdens , to suffer , and eventually be resurrected . Russia ( edit ) Early Russian Romanticism is associated with the writers Konstantin Batyushkov ( A Vision on the Shores of the Lethe , 1809 ) , Vasily Zhukovsky ( The Bard , 1811 ; Svetlana , 1813 ) and Nikolay Karamzin ( Poor Liza , 1792 ; Julia , 1796 ; Martha the Mayoress , 1802 ; The Sensitive and the Cold , 1803 ) . However the principal exponent of Romanticism in Russia is Alexander Pushkin ( The Prisoner of the Caucasus , 1820 -- 1821 ; The Robber Brothers , 1822 ; Ruslan and Ludmila , 1820 ; Eugene Onegin , 1825 -- 1832 ) . Pushkin 's work influenced many writers in the 19th century and led to his eventual recognition as Russia 's greatest poet . Other Russian Romantic poets include Mikhail Lermontov ( A Hero of Our Time , 1839 ) , Fyodor Tyutchev ( Silentium ! , 1830 ) , Yevgeny Baratynsky ( Eda , 1826 ) , Anton Delvig , and Wilhelm Küchelbecker . Influenced heavily by Lord Byron , Lermontov sought to explore the Romantic emphasis on metaphysical discontent with society and self , while Tyutchev 's poems often described scenes of nature or passions of love . Tyutchev commonly operated with such categories as night and day , north and south , dream and reality , cosmos and chaos , and the still world of winter and spring teeming with life . Baratynsky 's style was fairly classical in nature , dwelling on the models of the previous century . Spain ( edit ) Main article : Romanticism in Spanish literature Spanish poet José de Espronceda Romanticism in Spanish literature developed a well - known literature with a huge variety of poets and playwrights . The most important Spanish poet during this movement was José de Espronceda . After him there were other poets like Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer , Mariano José de Larra and the dramatist José Zorrilla , author of Don Juan Tenorio . Before them may be mentioned the pre-romantics José Cadalso and Manuel José Quintana . The plays of Antonio García Gutiérrez were adapted to produce Giuseppe Verdi 's operas Il trovatore and Simon Boccanegra . Spanish Romanticism also influenced regional literatures . For example , in Catalonia and in Galicia there was a national boom of writers in the local languages , like the Catalan Jacint Verdaguer and the Galician Rosalía de Castro , the main figures of the national revivalist movements Renaixença and Rexurdimento , respectively . Portugal ( edit ) Modern Portuguese poetry develops its character from the work of its Romantic epitome , Almeida Garrett , a very prolific writer who helped shape the genre with the masterpiece Folhas Caídas ( 1853 ) . This late arrival of a truly personal Romantic style would linger on to the beginning of the 20th century , notably through the works of poets such as Alexandre Herculano , Cesário Verde and António Nobre . However , an early Portuguese expression of Romanticism is found already in Manuel Maria Barbosa du Bocage , especially in his sonnets dated at the end of the 18th century . Italy ( edit ) Romanticism in Italian literature was a minor movement , yet still important ; it began officially in 1816 when Mme de Staël wrote an article in the journal Biblioteca italiana called `` Sulla maniera e l'utilità delle traduzioni '' , inviting Italian people to reject Neoclassicism and to study new authors from other countries . Before that date , Ugo Foscolo had already published poems anticipating Romantic themes . The most important Romantic writers were Ludovico di Breme , Pietro Borsieri and Giovanni Berchet . Better known authors such as Alessandro Manzoni and Giacomo Leopardi were influenced by Enlightenment as well as by Romanticism and Classicism . South America ( edit ) A print exemplifying the contrast between neoclassical vs. romantic styles of landscape and architecture ( or the `` Grecian '' and the `` Gothic '' as they are termed here ) , 1816 Spanish - speaking South American Romanticism was influenced heavily by Esteban Echeverría , who wrote in the 1830 and 1840s . His writings were influenced by his hatred for the Argentine dictator Juan Manuel de Rosas , and filled with themes of blood and terror , using the metaphor of a slaughterhouse to portray the violence of Rosas ' dictatorship . Brazilian Romanticism is characterized and divided in three different periods . The first one is basically focused on the creation of a sense of national identity , using the ideal of the heroic Indian . Some examples include José de Alencar , who wrote Iracema and O Guarani , and Gonçalves Dias , renowned by the poem `` Canção do Exílio '' ( Song of the Exile ) . The second period , sometimes called Ultra-Romanticism , is marked by a profound influence of European themes and traditions , involving the melancholy , sadness and despair related to unobtainable love . Goethe and Lord Byron are commonly quoted in these works . The third cycle is marked by social poetry , especially the abolitionist movement , and it includes Álvares de Azevedo and Castro Alves . Dennis Malone Carter , Decatur Boarding the Tripolitan Gunboat , 1878 . Romanticist vision of the Battle of Tripoli , during the First Barbary War . It represents the moment when the American war hero Stephen Decatur was fighting hand - to - hand against the Muslim pirate captain . United states ( edit ) Main articles : American literature and Romantic literature in English Thomas Cole , The Course of Empire : The Savage State ( 1 of 5 ) , 1836 In the United States , at least by 1818 with William Cullen Bryant 's `` To a Waterfowl '' , Romantic poetry was being published . American Romantic Gothic literature made an early appearance with Washington Irving 's The Legend of Sleepy Hollow ( 1820 ) and Rip Van Winkle ( 1819 ) , followed from 1823 onwards by the Leatherstocking Tales of James Fenimore Cooper , with their emphasis on heroic simplicity and their fervent landscape descriptions of an already - exotic mythicized frontier peopled by `` noble savages '' , similar to the philosophical theory of Rousseau , exemplified by Uncas , from The Last of the Mohicans . There are picturesque `` local color '' elements in Washington Irving 's essays and especially his travel books . Edgar Allan Poe 's tales of the macabre and his balladic poetry were more influential in France than at home , but the romantic American novel developed fully with the atmosphere and melodrama of Nathaniel Hawthorne 's The Scarlet Letter ( 1850 ) . Later Transcendentalist writers such as Henry David Thoreau and Ralph Waldo Emerson still show elements of its influence and imagination , as does the romantic realism of Walt Whitman . The poetry of Emily Dickinson -- nearly unread in her own time -- and Herman Melville 's novel Moby - Dick can be taken as epitomes of American Romantic literature . By the 1880s , however , psychological and social realism were competing with Romanticism in the novel . Influence of European Romanticism on American writers ( edit ) The European Romantic movement reached America in the early 19th century . American Romanticism was just as multifaceted and individualistic as it was in Europe . Like the Europeans , the American Romantics demonstrated a high level of moral enthusiasm , commitment to individualism and the unfolding of the self , an emphasis on intuitive perception , and the assumption that the natural world was inherently good , while human society was filled with corruption . Romanticism became popular in American politics , philosophy and art . The movement appealed to the revolutionary spirit of America as well as to those longing to break free of the strict religious traditions of early settlement . The Romantics rejected rationalism and religious intellect . It appealed to those in opposition of Calvinism , which includes the belief that the destiny of each individual is preordained . The Romantic movement gave rise to New England Transcendentalism , which portrayed a less restrictive relationship between God and Universe . The new philosophy presented the individual with a more personal relationship with God . Transcendentalism and Romanticism appealed to Americans in a similar fashion , for both privileged feeling over reason , individual freedom of expression over the restraints of tradition and custom . It often involved a rapturous response to nature . It encouraged the rejection of harsh , rigid Calvinism , and promised a new blossoming of American culture . American Romanticism embraced the individual and rebelled against the confinement of neoclassicism and religious tradition . The Romantic movement in America created a new literary genre that continues to influence American writers . Novels , short stories , and poems replaced the sermons and manifestos of yore . Romantic literature was personal , intense , and portrayed more emotion than ever seen in neoclassical literature . America 's preoccupation with freedom became a great source of motivation for Romantic writers as many were delighted in free expression and emotion without so much fear of ridicule and controversy . They also put more effort into the psychological development of their characters , and the main characters typically displayed extremes of sensitivity and excitement . The works of the Romantic Era also differed from preceding works in that they spoke to a wider audience , partly reflecting the greater distribution of books as costs came down during the period . Romantic visual arts ( edit ) See also : Gothic Revival architecture Thomas Jones , The Bard , 1774 , a prophetic combination of Romanticism and nationalism by the Welsh artist In the visual arts , Romanticism first showed itself in landscape painting , where from as early as the 1760s British artists began to turn to wilder landscapes and storms , and Gothic architecture , even if they had to make do with Wales as a setting . Caspar David Friedrich and J.M.W. Turner were born less than a year apart in 1774 and 1775 respectively and were to take German and English landscape painting to their extremes of Romanticism , but both their artistic sensibilities were formed when forms of Romanticism was already strongly present in art . John Constable , born in 1776 , stayed closer to the English landscape tradition , but in his largest `` six - footers '' insisted on the heroic status of a patch of the working countryside where he had grown up -- challenging the traditional hierarchy of genres , which relegated landscape painting to a low status . Turner also painted very large landscapes , and above all , seascapes . Some of these large paintings had contemporary settings and staffage , but others had small figures that turned the work into history painting in the manner of Claude Lorrain , like Salvator Rosa a late Baroque artist whose landscapes had elements that Romantic painters repeatedly turned to . Friedrich often used single figures , or features like crosses , set alone amidst a huge landscape , `` making them images of the transitoriness of human life and the premonition of death . '' Other groups of artists expressed feelings that verged on the mystical , many largely abandoning classical drawing and proportions . These included William Blake and Samuel Palmer and the other members of the Ancients in England , and in Germany Philipp Otto Runge . Like Friedrich , none of these artists had significant influence after their deaths for the rest of the 19th century , and were 20th century rediscoveries from obscurity , though Blake was always known as a poet , and Norway 's leading painter Johan Christian Dahl was heavily influenced by Friedrich . The Rome - based Nazarene movement of German artists , active from 1810 , took a very different path , concentrating on medievalizing history paintings with religious and nationalist themes . Anne - Louis Girodet de Roussy - Trioson , Ossian receiving the Ghosts of the French Heroes , 1800 -- 02 The arrival of Romanticism in French art was delayed by the strong hold of Neoclassicism on the academies , but from the Napoleonic period it became increasingly popular , initially in the form of history paintings propagandising for the new regime , of which Girodet 's Ossian receiving the Ghosts of the French Heroes , for Napoleon 's Château de Malmaison , was one of the earliest . Girodet 's old teacher David was puzzled and disappointed by his pupil 's direction , saying : `` Either Girodet is mad or I no longer know anything of the art of painting '' . A new generation of the French school , developed personal Romantic styles , though still concentrating on history painting with a political message . Théodore Géricault ( 1791 -- 1824 ) had his first success with The Charging Chasseur , a heroic military figure derived from Rubens , at the Paris Salon of 1812 in the years of the Empire , but his next major completed work , The Raft of the Medusa of 1821 , remains the greatest achievement of the Romantic history painting , which in its day had a powerful anti-government message . Eugène Delacroix ( 1798 -- 1863 ) made his first Salon hits with The Barque of Dante ( 1822 ) , The Massacre at Chios ( 1824 ) and Death of Sardanapalus ( 1827 ) . The second was a scene from the Greek War of Independence , completed the year Byron died there , and the last was a scene from one of Byron 's plays . With Shakespeare , Byron was to provide the subject matter for many other works of Delacroix , who also spent long periods in North Africa , painting colourful scenes of mounted Arab warriors . His Liberty Leading the People ( 1830 ) remains , with the Medusa , one of the best - known works of French Romantic painting . Both reflected current events , and increasingly `` history painting '' , literally `` story painting '' , a phrase dating back to the Italian Renaissance meaning the painting of subjects with groups of figures , long considered the highest and most difficult form of art , did indeed become the painting of historical scenes , rather than those from religion or mythology . Francisco Goya was called `` the last great painter in whose art thought and observation were balanced and combined to form a faultless unity '' . But the extent to which he was a Romantic is a complex question . In Spain , there was still a struggle to introduce the values of the Enlightenment , in which Goya saw himself as a participant . The demonic and anti-rational monsters thrown up by his imagination are only superficially similar to those of the Gothic fantasies of northern Europe , and in many ways he remained wedded to the classicism and realism of his training , as well as looking forward to the Realism of the later 19th century . But he , more than any other artist of the period , exemplified the Romantic values of the expression of the artist 's feelings and his personal imaginative world . He also shared with many of the Romantic painters a more free handling of paint , emphasized in the new prominence of the brushstroke and impasto , which tended to be repressed in neoclassicism under a self - effacing finish . Cavalier gaulois by Antoine - Augustin Préault , Pont d'Iéna , Paris Sculpture remained largely impervious to Romanticism , probably partly for technical reasons , as the most prestigious material of the day , marble , does not lend itself to expansive gestures . The leading sculptors in Europe , Antonio Canova and Bertel Thorvaldsen , were both based in Rome and firm Neoclassicists , not at all tempted to allow influence from medieval sculpture , which would have been one possible approach to Romantic sculpture . When it did develop , true Romantic sculpture -- with the exception of a few artists such as Rudolf Maison -- rather oddly was missing in Germany , and mainly found in France , with François Rude , best known from his group of the 1830s from the Arc de Triomphe in Paris , David d'Angers , and Auguste Préault . Préault 's plaster relief entitled Slaughter , which represented the horrors of wars with exacerbated passion , caused so much scandal at the 1834 Salon that Préault was banned from this official annual exhibition for nearly twenty years . In Italy , the most important Romantic sculptor was Lorenzo Bartolini . Francisco Goya , The Third of May 1808 , 1814 Théodore Géricault , The Raft of the Medusa , 1819 Eugène Delacroix , Liberty Leading the People 1830 J.M.W. Turner , The Fighting Téméraire tugged to her last Berth to be broken up , 1839 In France , historical painting on idealized medieval and Renaissance themes is known as the style Troubadour , a term with no equivalent for other countries , though the same trends occurred there . Delacroix , Ingres and Richard Parkes Bonington all worked in this style , as did lesser specialists such as Pierre - Henri Révoil ( 1776 -- 1842 ) and Fleury - François Richard ( 1777 -- 1852 ) . Their pictures are often small , and feature intimate private and anecdotal moments , as well as those of high drama . The lives of great artists such as Raphael were commemorated on equal terms with those of rulers , and fictional characters were also depicted . Fleury - Richard 's Valentine of Milan weeping for the death of her husband , shown in the Paris Salon of 1802 , marked the arrival of the style , which lasted until the mid-century , before being subsumed into the increasingly academic history painting of artists like Paul Delaroche . Francesco Hayez , Crusaders Thirsting near Jerusalem Another trend was for very large apocalyptic history paintings , often combining extreme natural events , or divine wrath , with human disaster , attempting to outdo The Raft of the Medusa , and now often drawing comparisons with effects from Hollywood . The leading English artist in the style was John Martin , whose tiny figures were dwarfed by enormous earthquakes and storms , and worked his way through the biblical disasters , and those to come in the final days . Other works such as Delacroix 's Death of Sardanapalus included larger figures , and these often drew heavily on earlier artists , especially Poussin and Rubens , with extra emotionalism and special effects . Elsewhere in Europe , leading artists adopted Romantic styles : in Russia there were the portraitists Orest Kiprensky and Vasily Tropinin , with Ivan Aivazovsky specializing in marine painting , and in Norway Hans Gude painted scenes of fjords . In Italy Francesco Hayez ( 1791 -- 1882 ) was the leading artist of Romanticism in mid-19th - century Milan . His long , prolific and extremely successful career saw him begin as a Neoclassical painter , pass right through the Romantic period , and emerge at the other end as a sentimental painter of young women . His Romantic period included many historical pieces of `` Troubadour '' tendencies , but on a very large scale , that are heavily influenced by Gian Battista Tiepolo and other late Baroque Italian masters . Literary Romanticism had its counterpart in the American visual arts , most especially in the exaltation of an untamed American landscape found in the paintings of the Hudson River School . Painters like Thomas Cole , Albert Bierstadt and Frederic Edwin Church and others often expressed Romantic themes in their paintings . They sometimes depicted ancient ruins of the old world , such as in Fredric Edwin Church 's piece Sunrise in Syria . These works reflected the Gothic feelings of death and decay . They also show the Romantic ideal that Nature is powerful and will eventually overcome the transient creations of men . More often , they worked to distinguish themselves from their European counterparts by depicting uniquely American scenes and landscapes . This idea of an American identity in the art world is reflected in W.C. Bryant 's poem , To Cole , the Painter , Departing for Europe , where Bryant encourages Cole to remember the powerful scenes that can only be found in America . Some American paintings ( such as Albert Bierstadt 's The Rocky Mountains , Lander 's Peak ) promote the literary idea of the `` noble savage '' by portraying idealized Native Americans living in harmony with the natural world . Thomas Cole 's paintings tend towards allegory , explicit in The Voyage of Life series painted in the early 1840s , showing the stages of life set amidst an awesome and immense nature . Thomas Cole , Childhood , one of the 4 scenes in The Voyage of Life , 1842 William Blake , Albion Rose , 1794 - 5 Louis Janmot , from his series `` The Poem of the Soul '' , before 1854 Thomas Cole , 1842 , The Voyage of Life Old Age Romanticism and music ( edit ) See also : Romantic music , Musical nationalism , and List of Romantic - era composers Ludwig van Beethoven , painted by Joseph Karl Stieler , 1820 Musical Romanticism is predominantly a German phenomenon -- so much so that one respected French reference work defines it entirely in terms of `` The role of music in the aesthetics of German romanticism '' . Another French encyclopedia holds that the German temperament generally `` can be described as the deep and diverse action of romanticism on German musicians '' , and that there is only one true representative of Romanticism in French music , Hector Berlioz , while in Italy , the sole great name of musical Romanticism is Giuseppe Verdi , `` a sort of ( Victor ) Hugo of opera , gifted with a real genius for dramatic effect '' . Nevertheless , the huge popularity of German Romantic music led , `` whether by imitation or by reaction '' , to an often nationalistically inspired vogue amongst Polish , Hungarian , Russian , Czech , and Scandinavian musicians , successful `` perhaps more because of its extra-musical traits than for the actual value of musical works by its masters '' . Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres , Portrait of Niccolò Paganini , 1819 Frederic Chopin in 1838 by Eugène Delacroix Although the term `` Romanticism '' when applied to music has come to imply the period roughly from 1800 until 1850 , or else until around 1900 , the contemporary application of `` romantic '' to music did not coincide with this modern interpretation . Indeed , one of the earliest sustained applications of the term to music occurs in 1789 , in the Mémoires of André Grétry . This is of particular interest because it is a French source on a subject mainly dominated by Germans , but also because it explicitly acknowledges its debt to Jean - Jacques Rousseau ( himself a composer , amongst other things ) and , by so doing , establishes a link to one of the major influences on the Romantic movement generally . In 1810 E.T.A. Hoffmann named Mozart , Haydn and Beethoven as `` the three masters of instrumental compositions '' who `` breathe one and the same romantic spirit '' . He justified his view on the basis of these composers ' depth of evocative expression and their marked individuality . In Haydn 's music , according to Hoffmann , `` a child - like , serene disposition prevails '' , while Mozart ( in the late E-flat major Symphony , for example ) `` leads us into the depths of the spiritual world , '' with elements of fear , love , and sorrow , `` a presentiment of the infinite ... in the eternal dance of the spheres '' . Beethoven 's music , on the other hand , conveys a sense of `` the monstrous and immeasurable , '' with the pain of an endless longing that `` will burst our breasts in a fully coherent concord of all the passions . '' This elevation in the valuation of pure emotion resulted in the promotion of music from the subordinate position it had held in relation to the verbal and plastic arts during the Enlightenment . Because music was considered to be free of the constraints of reason , imagery , or any other precise concept , it came to be regarded , first in the writings of Wackenroder and Tieck and later by writers such as Schelling and Wagner , as preeminent among the arts , the one best able to express the secrets of the universe , to evoke the spirit world , infinity , and the absolute . This chronologic agreement of musical and literary Romanticism continued as far as the middle of the 19th century , when Richard Wagner denigrated the music of Meyerbeer and Berlioz as `` neoromantic '' : `` The Opera , to which we shall now return , has swallowed down the Neoromanticism of Berlioz , too , as a plump , fine - flavoured oyster , whose digestion has conferred on it anew a brisk and well - to - do appearance . '' It was only toward the end of the 19th century that the newly emergent discipline of Musikwissenschaft ( musicology ) -- itself a product of the historicizing proclivity of the age -- attempted a more scientific periodization of music history , and a distinction between Viennese Classical and Romantic periods was proposed . The key figure in this trend was Guido Adler , who viewed Beethoven and Franz Schubert as transitional but essentially Classical composers , with Romanticism achieving full maturity only in the post-Beethoven generation of Frédéric Chopin , Robert Schumann , Berlioz , and Franz Liszt . From Adler 's viewpoint , found in books like Der Stil in der Musik ( 1911 ) , composers of the New German School and various late - 19th - century nationalist composers were not Romantics but `` moderns '' or `` realists '' ( by analogy with the fields of painting and literature ) , and this schema remained prevalent through the first decades of the 20th century . By the second quarter of the 20th century , an awareness that radical changes in musical syntax had occurred during the early 1900s caused another shift in historical viewpoint , and the change of century came to be seen as marking a decisive break with the musical past . This in turn led historians such as Alfred Einstein to extend the musical `` Romantic Era '' throughout the 19th century and into the first decade of the 20th . It has continued to be referred to as such in some of the standard music references such as The Oxford Companion to Music and Grout 's History of Western Music but was not unchallenged . For example , the prominent German musicologist Friedrich Blume , the chief editor of the first edition of Die Musik in Geschichte und Gegenwart ( 1949 -- 86 ) , accepted the earlier position that Classicism and Romanticism together constitute a single period beginning in the middle of the 18th century , but at the same time held that it continued into the 20th century , including such pre -- World War II developments as expressionism and neoclassicism . This is reflected in some notable recent reference works such as the New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians and the new edition of Musik in Geschichte und Gegenwart . Franz Liszt , 1847 Daniel Auber , c. 1868 Giovanni Boldini , Portrait of Giuseppe Verdi , 1886 Robert Schumann , 1839 Hector Berlioz , 1850 Richard Wagner , c. 1870s Giacomo Meyerbeer , 1847 Felix Mendelssohn , 1839 In the contemporary music culture , the romantic musician followed a public career depending on sensitive middle - class audiences rather than on a courtly patron , as had been the case with earlier musicians and composers . Public persona characterized a new generation of virtuosi who made their way as soloists , epitomized in the concert tours of Paganini and Liszt , and the conductor began to emerge as an important figure , on whose skill the interpretation of the increasingly complex music depended . Romanticism outside the arts ( edit ) Akseli Gallen - Kallela , The Forging of the Sampo , 1893 . An artist from Finland deriving inspiration from the Finnish `` national epic '' , the Kalevala Sciences ( edit ) Main article : Romanticism in science The Romantic movement affected most aspects of intellectual life , and Romanticism and science had a powerful connection , especially in the period 1800 -- 40 . Many scientists were influenced by versions of the Naturphilosophie of Johann Gottlieb Fichte , Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph von Schelling and Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel and others , and without abandoning empiricism , sought in their work to uncover what they tended to believe was a unified and organic Nature . The English scientist Sir Humphry Davy , a prominent Romantic thinker , said that understanding nature required `` an attitude of admiration , love and worship , ( ... ) a personal response . '' He believed that knowledge was only attainable by those who truly appreciated and respected nature . Self - understanding was an important aspect of Romanticism . It had less to do with proving that man was capable of understanding nature ( through his budding intellect ) and therefore controlling it , and more to do with the emotional appeal of connecting himself with nature and understanding it through a harmonious co-existence . Historiography ( edit ) History writing was very strongly , and many would say harmfully , influenced by Romanticism . In England Thomas Carlyle was a highly influential essayist who turned historian ; he both invented and exemplified the phrase `` hero - worship '' , lavishing largely uncritical praise on strong leaders such as Oliver Cromwell , Frederick the Great and Napoleon . Romantic nationalism had a largely negative effect on the writing of history in the 19th century , as each nation tended to produce its own version of history , and the critical attitude , even cynicism , of earlier historians was often replaced by a tendency to create romantic stories with clearly distinguished heroes and villains . Nationalist ideology of the period placed great emphasis on racial coherence , and the antiquity of peoples , and tended to vastly over-emphasize the continuity between past periods and the present , leading to national mysticism . Much historical effort in the 20th century was devoted to combating the romantic historical myths created in the 19th century . Theology ( edit ) To insulate theology from reductionism in science , 19th - century post-Enlightenment German theologians moved in a new direction , led by Friedrich Schleiermacher and Albrecht Ritschl . They took the Romantic approach of rooting religion in the inner world of the human spirit , so that it is a person 's feeling or sensibility about spiritual matters that comprises religion . Romantic nationalism ( edit ) Main article : Romantic nationalism Egide Charles Gustave Wappers , Episode of the Belgian Revolution of 1830 , 1834 , Musée d'Art Ancien , Brussels . A romantic vision by a Belgian painter . Hans Gude , Fra Hardanger , 1847 . Example of Norwegian romantic nationalism . One of Romanticism 's key ideas and most enduring legacies is the assertion of nationalism , which became a central theme of Romantic art and political philosophy . From the earliest parts of the movement , with their focus on development of national languages and folklore , and the importance of local customs and traditions , to the movements that would redraw the map of Europe and lead to calls for self - determination of nationalities , nationalism was one of the key vehicles of Romanticism , its role , expression and meaning . One of the most important functions of medieval references in the 19th century was nationalist . Popular and epic poetry were its workhorses . This is visible in Germany and Ireland , where underlying Germanic or Celtic linguistic substrates dating from before the Romanization - Latinization were sought out . And , in Catalonia , nationalists reclaimed Catalanism from before the Hispanicization of the Catholic Monarchs in the 15th century , when the Crown of Aragon was unified with the Castilian nobility . Early Romantic nationalism was strongly inspired by Rousseau , and by the ideas of Johann Gottfried von Herder , who in 1784 argued that the geography formed the natural economy of a people , and shaped their customs and society . The nature of nationalism changed dramatically , however , after the French Revolution with the rise of Napoleon , and the reactions in other nations . Napoleonic nationalism and republicanism were , at first , inspirational to movements in other nations : self - determination and a consciousness of national unity were held to be two of the reasons why France was able to defeat other countries in battle . But as the French Republic became Napoleon 's Empire , Napoleon became not the inspiration for nationalism , but the object of its struggle . In Prussia , the development of spiritual renewal as a means to engage in the struggle against Napoleon was argued by , among others , Johann Gottlieb Fichte , a disciple of Kant . The word Volkstum , or nationality , was coined in German as part of this resistance to the now conquering emperor . Fichte expressed the unity of language and nation in his address `` To the German Nation '' in 1806 : Those who speak the same language are joined to each other by a multitude of invisible bonds by nature herself , long before any human art begins ; they understand each other and have the power of continuing to make themselves understood more and more clearly ; they belong together and are by nature one and an inseparable whole ... Only when each people , left to itself , develops and forms itself in accordance with its own peculiar quality , and only when in every people each individual develops himself in accordance with that common quality , as well as in accordance with his own peculiar quality -- then , and then only , does the manifestation of divinity appear in its true mirror as it ought to be . This view of nationalism inspired the collection of folklore by such people as the Brothers Grimm , the revival of old epics as national , and the construction of new epics as if they were old , as in the Kalevala , compiled from Finnish tales and folklore , or Ossian , where the claimed ancient roots were invented . The view that fairy tales , unless contaminated from outside literary sources , were preserved in the same form over thousands of years , was not exclusive to Romantic Nationalists , but fit in well with their views that such tales expressed the primordial nature of a people . For instance , the Brothers Grimm rejected many tales they collected because of their similarity to tales by Charles Perrault , which they thought proved they were not truly German tales ; Sleeping Beauty survived in their collection because the tale of Brynhildr convinced them that the figure of the sleeping princess was authentically German . Vuk Karadžić contributed to Serbian folk literature , using peasant culture as the foundation . He regarded the oral literature of the peasants as an integral part of Serbian culture , compiling it to use in his collections of folk songs , tales , and proverbs , as well as the first dictionary of vernacular Serbian . Similar projects were undertaken by the Russian Alexander Afanasyev , the Norwegians Peter Christen Asbjørnsen and Jørgen Moe , and the Englishman Joseph Jacobs . The November Uprising ( 1830 -- 31 ) in Kingdom of Poland against the Russian Empire Polish nationalism and messianism ( edit ) Romanticism played an essential role in the national awakening of many Central European peoples lacking their own national states , not least in Poland , which had recently lost its independence when Russia 's army crushed the Polish Uprising under Nicholas I. Revival and reinterpretation of ancient myths , customs and traditions by Romantic poets and painters helped to distinguish their indigenous cultures from those of the dominant nations and crystallise the mythography of Romantic nationalism . Patriotism , nationalism , revolution and armed struggle for independence also became popular themes in the arts of this period . Arguably , the most distinguished Romantic poet of this part of Europe was Adam Mickiewicz , who developed an idea that Poland was the Messiah of Nations , predestined to suffer just as Jesus had suffered to save all the people . The Polish self - image as a `` Christ among nations '' or the martyr of Europe can be traced back to its history of Christendom and suffering under invasions . During the periods of foreign occupation , the Catholic Church served as bastion of Poland 's national identity and language , and the major promoter of Polish culture . The partitions came to be seen in Poland as a Polish sacrifice for the security for Western civilization . Adam Mickiewicz wrote the patriotic drama Dziady ( directed against the Russians ) where he depicts Poland as the Christ of Nations . He also wrote `` Verily I say unto you , it is not for you to learn civilization from foreigners , but it is you who are to teach them civilization ... You are among the foreigners like the Apostles among the idolaters '' . In `` Books of the Polish nation and Polish pilgrimage '' Mickiewicz detailed his vision of Poland as a Messias and a Christ of Nations , that would save mankind . Dziady is known for various interpretation . The most known ones are the moral aspect of part II , individualist and romantic message of part IV , as well as deeply patriotic , messianistic and Christian vision in part III of poem . Zdzisław Kępiński , however , focuses his interpretation on Slavic pagan and occult elements found in the drama . In his book Mickiewicz hermetyczny he writes about hermetic , theosophic and alchemical philosophy on the book as well as Masonic symbols .

About Wikipedia	when did the romantic era start and end	[ "Romanticism (also the Romantic era or the Romantic period) was an artistic, literary, musical and intellectual movement that originated in Europe toward the end of the 18th century, and in most areas was at its peak in the approximate period from 1800 to 1850. Romanticism was characterized by its emphasis on emotion and individualism as well as glorification of all the past and nature, preferring the medieval rather than the classical. It was partly a reaction to the Industrial Revolution,[1] the aristocratic social and political norms of the Age of Enlightenment, and the scientific rationalization of nature—all components of modernity.[2] It was embodied most strongly in the visual arts, music, and literature, but had a major impact on historiography,[3] education,[4] and the natural sciences.[5] It had a significant and complex effect on politics, with romantic thinkers influencing liberalism, radicalism, conservatism and nationalism.[6]" ]	[ "1800 to 1850" ]

It also introduces werewolves. Tyler 's werewolf uncle , Mason Lockwood , arrives after the death of Tyler 's father and tells Tyler about the so - called `` Lockwood curse '' in their family . To activate the werewolf gene , the person must kill someone . Katherine turns Caroline into a vampire , so as to have a spy against Stefan and Elena . Katherine 's main reason for returning to Mystic Falls is to find the moonstone , with the help of Mason , who is killed by Damon . Katherine calls in a favor from a witch named Lucy to get the stone . Lucy casts a spell so that when Katherine is hurt , it also affects Elena . When Lucy finds out that another Bennett is at the party and that Katherine had deceived her , she puts a spell on the moonstone , injuring Katherine . Damon then leaves her in the original tomb where she is trapped until the spell has been removed from the tomb . She tells him that her reason for not killing Elena is that she is in danger . Elena is later kidnapped by a masked individual and held hostage by vampires Rose and Trevor , who have been on the run from the Originals ( the first generation of vampires ) . Rose reveals to Elena that she is the Petrova doppelgänger and needs to be sacrificed to break the sun and moon curse .

Jules breaks into the Salvatore mansion in wolf form and attacks Damon , but Rose pushes him out of the way , getting bitten on the shoulder instead ( werewolf bites are lethal to vampires ) . As Rose succumbs to the effects of the bite , Damon stakes her in a glorious dream they share , giving her a peaceful death . Uncle John returns to Mystic Falls and comes as an unpleasant surprise to Elena , Damon , Jenna , and Alaric . John reveals to Damon that the only way to kill an Original is with a dagger dipped in white ash wood . A boy named Luka settle in the town with his father ( they are both warlocks ) and reveals that they are working for Elijah because Klaus has his sister Greta and they want him ( Luka ) dead as well . Luka becomes friends with Bonnie and tells her that Klaus will be weakened by the sacrificial ritual , meaning that Elena has to die so that Elijah can kill him and free his sister . John gives Damon the special dagger to kill Elijah . Elena finds out that if a vampire uses the dagger , that vampire will die . Stefan warns Damon and Alaric stabs Elijah , but he pulls the dagger out and tells Elena their deal is off . Elena stabs herself in the stomach , and Elijah begs her to let him heal her . She stabs him with the dagger and leaves it in him . Elijah 's death means that Katherine is no longer compelled to stay in the tomb . She helps kill the Martin witches .

But it is revealed that Klaus wanted Katherine and compelled Isobel to get her and the moonstone . Klaus enters Alaric 's body and compels Katherine to stay in Alaric 's house .

Damon tells Bonnie to put on a protection spell and make Alaric / Klaus believe that she is dead . Elena does not want Bonnie to die , so she pulls the dagger out of Elijah 's heart . After Elijah comes to life , Elena learns the full history of Klaus . The Aztec curse is fake and there is a curse on Klaus , as he is a vampire born in a werewolf bloodline . There is a ritual that involves killing a vampire and a werewolf and a Petrova doppelganger , that will unearth the werewolf side of Klaus making him a hybrid . Elena realizes that the real curse is on Klaus , who therefore wants to kill her . But Elijah says he has an elixir that can save Elena from dying . Elena believes Elijah , but Damon says that there is another way to save her life and feeds her his blood . Stefan tries to stop him , but he stabs in the chest with the wooden dagger . Elena then cries that she will be a vampire against her will . Maddox kidnaps Tyler and Caroline . Damon frees them and is bitten . Then he goes to Klaus to tell him that he does not have a werewolf and witch , as he killed Maddox . Klaus says that he has backups . Klaus takes Elena from Stefan .

He then checks his arm and sees that Tyler has bitten him . In the season 's finale , Klaus is working on the ritual out in the woods and is near completion when he is about to kill Elena , but Stefan tries to work a deal with him . Klaus agrees to have Stefan work for him in exchange for Damon 's protection . Elena is `` killed '' in the ritual but is shown to have survived . Regardless , Klaus 's werewolf side is unleashed and he becomes the first hybrid , half vampire half werewolf . Bonnie arrives and subdues Klaus with her powers , giving Elijah the opportunity to strike , but Klaus talks him down offering to help find their siblings . Elena 's survival is revealed as John had Bonnie cast a spell that had him die in Elena 's place . The next morning John succumbs and dies . At his funeral , Elena reads a note from John saying he will always love her and she will always be his daughter , even if she becomes a vampire . Damon also shows where he was bitten and walks away . Reception ( edit ) Ken Tucker of Entertainment Weekly wrote , `` The throbbing red heart of The Vampire Diaries remains the tension between Damon and Paul Wesley 's Stefan , and their mutual attraction to whomever Dobrev is embodying at the time . '' Mark A. Perigard of the Boston Herald said , `` The triangle -- quadrangle ? -- becomes more twisted by episode 's end . It leads to shocking violence against outsiders that deepens the tragedy and the mythology at the core of the show . `` Game on '' just might be the two most chilling words uttered this season . '' Matt Roush of TV Guide commented , `` The Vampire Diaries is the sort of show where ' never say die ' is written into the mythology -- a good thing for several of the opening hour 's apparent victims . I do n't know how much longer The Vampire Diaries can keep churning stories at this feverish rate , but if this is your sort of guilty pleasure , you 'd be crazy not to bite .

About Wikipedia	when do the originals come to vampire diaries	[ "The Vampire Diaries, a 40 minute American supernatural drama, was officially renewed by The CW for a full 22-episode season on February 16, 2010.[1] The first episode premiered on September 9, 2010, at 8 p.m. ET.[2] The season picks up immediately after the events of the season one finale. All the series regulars returned.[3] Season two focuses on the return of Elena Gilbert's (Nina Dobrev) doppelgänger, Katherine Pierce, the introduction of werewolves, the sun and moon curse, and the arrival of the original vampires. Tyler Lockwood's (Michael Trevino) uncle, Mason Lockwood (Taylor Kinney), arrives in town searching for the moonstone, a family heirloom. Tyler later learns of his family's werewolf curse. Meanwhile, Caroline Forbes (Candice Accola) is killed by Katherine while having Damon Salvatore's (Ian Somerhalder) blood in her system, turning her into a vampire. The arrival of the original vampires, Elijah (Daniel Gillies) and Klaus Mikaelson (Joseph Morgan), also bring about complications. Klaus is a vampire-werewolf hybrid, but his werewolf side had been forced into dormancy by witches, as nature would not stand for such an imbalance in power. Therefore, Klaus arrives in town with plans to break the curse and unleash his werewolf side by channelling the power of the full moon into the moonstone, sacrificing a vampire and a werewolf, and drinking the blood of the doppelgänger. The season is currently on air in Urdu on filmax channel in Pakistan. It became available on DVD and Blu-ray on August 30, 2011.[4]" ]	[ "Season two" ]

Reception ( edit ) Critical response ( edit ) The seventh season of The Walking Dead has received mixed reviews from critics . On Rotten Tomatoes , the season holds a score of 60 % with an average rating of 6.97 out of 10 , based on 11 reviews , and an average episode score of 76 % . The site 's critical consensus reads : `` Increased character depth and effective world - building helps The Walking Dead overcome a tiresome reliance on excessive , gratuitous violence . '' The first episode of the season , `` The Day Will Come When You Wo n't Be '' , received criticism for the amount of violence depicted in the episode , with one writer calling it the equivalent of `` torture porn '' . Subsequently , the first half of the seventh season has seen some of the show 's lowest critical ratings . The show 's executive producer Gale Anne Hurd claimed that in light of the negative feedback , they tamed some of the more gruesome scenes that were in episodes being filmed for the second half of the season . Hurd said that `` this is not a show that 's torture porn ... Let 's make sure we do n't cross that line '' . However , this claim was countered by executive producers Scott M. Gimple and Greg Nicotero . Gimple said that the violence used in the episode was `` pronounced for a reason '' , specifically that `` there was a purpose of traumatizing these characters to a point where maybe they would have been docile for the rest of their lives '' , but noted that he felt that this episode should n't represent `` the base level of violence that necessarily should be on the show '' . On Rotten Tomatoes , it holds a 66 % with an average rating of 7.03 out of 10 , based on 50 reviews . The site 's consensus reads : The flashback - laden `` The Day Will Come When You Wo n't Be '' is slow to deliver the payoff from last season 's finale -- but ultimately delivers with sadistic acts of gut - wrenching violence that will push Walking Dead fans to their limit .

Instrumentation was completed by Falk and Yacoub . Serban Ghenea handled the audio mixing , Tom Coyne the audio mastering , and John Hanes the mix engineering , for which Phil Seaford served as the assistant . Discussing the song 's conception , Kotecha said : `` I had the melody of the chorus in my song for about a year until I was in a hotel room in London with my wife and she was having a bad morning . She was like , `` Oh , I feel so ugly '' and I was like , `` No , you look beautiful . You do n't know how beautiful you look . '' And I was like , `` Oh , crap ! That 's a good song ! Hold on ! '' And I wrote that down . I actually wrote the song for my wife , so I went to the studio and it took a process of a couple weeks to really tweak it , but the core of it was written within two days and then tweaked a few things here and there over a couple weeks , but I mean , I still have the text message from Harry ( Styles ) . When he heard the demo , I was in Miami on my way back to Sweden , and he sent me a text message saying , `` I think you got it . I think you got the one here . '' '' After recording the song at Cosmos Studios and Kinglet Studios in Stockholm , Sweden , the band felt relieved to have a song that they were happy to release as their debut single . Band member Liam Payne called the song `` perfect '' , and Harry Styles said , `` When we were recording in the studio we knew instantly that we wanted this track to be our first single . '' Styles spoke to MTV News , `` I think for us we wanted to release something that was n't cheesy but it was fun . It kind of represented us , I think it took us a while to find it but I think we found the right song . '' Payne added , `` We always wanted ( the single ) to be something that people did n't expect and then when we heard it , it was n't what we expected either so it kind of fitted perfectly . '' Release and promotion ( edit ) `` What Makes You Beautiful '' premiered on BBC Radio 1 on 10 August 2011 , and was released by Syco Music in Europe , Australia and New Zealand via digital download on 11 September 2011 . A CD single was released in the United Kingdom on 12 September 2011 , and followed in Australia and Germany on 25 November 2011 and 2 December 2011 , respectively . In North America , the single was released in Canada via digital download on 31 January 2012 . It was issued 14 February 2012 in the United States and was sent by Columbia Records to US contemporary hit radio ( CHR ) playlists on 28 February 2012 . For the North American release of Up All Night on 13 March 2012 , Columbia Records executives used social media to shape its marketing campaign . Columbia Records co-chairman Steve Barnett and his team decided to reverse the usual pattern of releasing a single on radio . Instead the label mounted a four - month marketing campaign aimed at building a fan base through social media before a single was ever released or played on the radio . The social media campaign asked fans to sign petitions and to enter video competitions to win a concert in their town . The campaign was a success as One Direction 's Facebook followers in the United States rose from 40,000 to 400,000 . As a result , `` What Makes You Beautiful '' sold more than 131,000 copies in its first week , even though it had yet to be played on the radio . Radio programmers were flooded with calls from fans . Johnny Wright , who managed New Kids on the Block , Backstreet Boys and ' N Sync , said : `` Now they are calling the radio station , and the radio station is scratching its head , saying , `` We do n't even have that record yet '' . It 's almost like the return of the Beatles . I call it hype , but it 's positive hype because it 's all real . It 's not manufactured . No one paid these kids . '' Composition ( edit ) `` What Makes You Beautiful '' The song has a guitar - based chorus and riff Problems playing this file ?

McKinley Jr. of The New York Times compared its chord progression to `` La Bamba '' . The opening guitar riff has been noted as similar to that of Grease single `` Summer Nights '' . `` What Makes You Beautiful '' has a guitar - based chorus ; Digital Spy 's Robert Copsey likened it to a cross between Pink 's `` Raise Your Glass '' and McFly 's `` All About You '' . It also contains cowbell instrumentation , and the middle eight consists of an `` oh na na na '' hook . Critical reception ( edit ) The song received generally positive reviews from music critics . Robert Copsey of Digital Spy gave `` What Makes You Beautiful '' four out of five stars , praising its catchy melody and summarising it as `` adorable , completely innocent and bound to cause a stir amongst your mates '' . Zachary Houle of PopMatters called the song a `` nice get - up - and - go dance number . '' Ailbhe Malone of NME commended the song 's appeal to the teenage audience and its chord progression for being `` simple enough to be played on an acoustic guitar at a house party . '' Newsround called it `` fun , upbeat and incredibly catchy . '' AllMusic 's Matthew Chisling called it an `` effervescent and fresh tween love song '' , and chose it as one of the best tracks on Up All Night . Sophie Goddard from Cosmopolitan called the single `` ridiculously catchy '' . Student 's Jack Murray rated `` What Makes You Beautiful '' five out of five stars and called it `` not only the best pop single of the year so far , but potentially of any X Factor contestant ever '' . Murray lauded the songwriting and light production . Tanner Stransky of Entertainment Weekly awarded `` What Makes You Beautiful '' a B+ grade , calling the song `` shallow but crushworthy '' , writing that the song shows that boy bands are not dying out . Jason Lipshutz of Billboard characterised it as `` the real deal '' , regarding the song as `` endlessly playable '' as ' N Sync 's `` Bye Bye Bye '' . Lipshutz noted its `` cheeky electro - pop twist '' . Stephanie Abrahams of TIME assessed , `` The group takes cues from the boy bands of yesteryear with bubblegum lyrics about young love -- `` The way you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed '' they croon in their breakout single -- which any parent can get behind . That 's a far cry from a typical Nicki Minaj verse . '' The Observer editor Kitty Empire wrote in an assessment , `` With the exception of their persuasive No 1 single , `` What Makes You Beautiful '' , their songs are n't wildly distinctive . '' `` What Makes You Beautiful '' won the BRIT Award for Best British Single at the 2012 Brit Awards , which was held on 21 February 2012 .

It was included on the set list of the group 's headlining sold - out show at Madison Square Garden on 3 December 2012 . One Direction performed the song on two of their major concert tours : Up All Night Tour ( 2011 -- 12 ) and Take Me Home Tour ( 2013 ) . Also this song added in Where We Are Tour ( 2014 ) & On the Road Again Tour ( 2015 ) . The second verse of the song had originally been sung by Malik . After Malik 's departure , Payne took his verse . Cover versions ( edit ) The song was covered for American television series Glee by Kevin McHale , Chord Overstreet , Harry Shum , Jr. , Samuel Larsen , and Damian McGinty in the episode titled `` Prom - asaurus '' . It was first aired on 8 May 2012 , and is the 19th episode of the third season . Their characters Artie Abrams ( McHale ) , Sam Evans ( Overstreet ) , Mike Chang ( Shum ) , Joe Hart ( Larsen ) , and Rory Flanagan ( McGinty ) , covered the song in the episode , performing a choreographed dance routine to it . Sarah Maloy of Billboard acknowledged , `` Screaming girls and choreographed boy band moves are , of course , in no short supply . '' Maloy described Glee 's version as `` barely changing the sound or style of the original version . '' Erica Futterman of Rolling Stone wrote , `` While One Direction 's original manages to pack a pop punch , Glee 's take kind of hits the mark . ( Literally . The Glee boys prance across the stage in the same path as the U.K. heartthrobs . ) '' Futterman concluded that it was the fourth best performance of that episode . Glee 's cover was released for digital download through the iTunes Store on 8 May 2012 . It charted at numbers 93 and 163 on the Canadian Hot 100 and UK Singles Chart , respectively . In July 2012 , the Piano Guys uploaded on YouTube an instrumental piano version of the song , which went viral .

He made appearances in many television programmes , including a portrayal of Imperial Japanese Army Major Yamauchi in the British drama series Tenko and as Entwistle in Last of the Summer Wine . Contents ( hide ) 1 Early life 2 Career 3 Personal life 4 Selected filmography 4.1 Film 4.2 Television 4.3 Audio theatre 4.4 Video games 4.5 Miscellaneous 5 References 6 External links Early life ( edit ) Kwouk was born in Warrington , but was brought up in Shanghai . Between the ages of 12 and 16 he attended the Jesuit Mission School there , which he described as `` the Far East equivalent of Eton '' . He left China in 1947 when his Chinese parents returned to Britain and was then sent to the United States to complete his education . In 1953 he graduated from Bowdoin College in Brunswick , Maine . The Kwouk family fortune had been lost in the 1949 revolution and in 1954 he came back to Britain , where a girlfriend `` nagged ( him ) into acting '' . Career ( edit ) Kwouk made his film debut in the 1957 film Windom 's Way . One of his earliest film roles was in The Inn of the Sixth Happiness ( 1958 ) where he played the leader of a prison revolt who later aids the main character in heroically leading orphans to safety . He subsequently appeared in numerous films and television programmes . He was best known for playing Cato ( originally spelled `` Kato '' ) Fong , Inspector Clouseau 's manservant , in the Pink Panther film series . The character was first introduced in A Shot in the Dark ( 1964 ) , the second film in the series , and was a role that Kwouk would reprise on another six occasions until the 2006 series reboot . The running gag was that Cato was ordered to attack Clouseau when he least expected it to keep him alert , usually resulting in a ruined romantic encounter or Clouseau 's flat being completely destroyed . Amid the chaos , the phone would ring and Cato would calmly answer it with `` Inspector / Chief Inspector Clouseau 's residence '' , before dutifully handing the phone to his employer and being thumped by Clouseau . He was a stalwart of several 1960s ITC television series , such as Danger Man , The Saint and Man of the World , when an oriental character was required . Kwouk featured as one of the leads in the short - lived series The Sentimental Agent ( 1963 ) and had minor roles in three James Bond films . In Goldfinger ( 1964 ) he played Mr. Ling , a Chinese expert in nuclear fission ; in the non-Eon spoof Casino Royale ( 1967 ) he played a general and in You Only Live Twice ( 1967 ) Kwouk played the part of a Japanese operative of Blofeld credited as Spectre 3 . In 1968 , he appeared with Laurence Olivier and Anthony Quinn in The Shoes of the Fisherman . A reference to Kwouk 's appearances in several films with Peter Sellers is found in the opening scene of The Fiendish Plot of Dr. Fu Manchu ( 1980 ) where Sellers says to him `` your face is familiar . '' His next major role was as the honourable but misguided Major Yamauchi in the World War II television drama Tenko ( 1981 -- 84 ) . Kwouk featured in many British television productions that called for a man of oriental appearance . As a result , he became a familiar face in the United Kingdom and appeared as himself in the Harry Hill Show as well as several of Hill 's live tours . In 2000 , he appeared in an episode of the syndicated western TV series Queen of Swords as Master Kiyomasa , an aged Japanese warrior - priest . Sung - Hi Lee played his female pupil , Kami . He provided voice - overs on the spoof Japanese betting show Banzai ( 2001 -- 04 ) and subsequently appeared in adverts for the betting company , Bet365 . From 2002 to the series 's end in 2010 , he had a regular role as one of the three main characters in the long - running series Last of the Summer Wine , as ' Electrical ' Entwistle . His later work also included voice acting for audio theatre , video games , and television commercials . Personal life ( edit ) Kwouk married Caroline Tebbs in Wandsworth , London , in the summer of 1961 . Their son Christopher was born in 1974 . In the 2011 New Year Honours List , Burt Kwouk was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire ( OBE ) for services to drama . In later years he lived in Hampstead , London . He died on 24 May 2016 , aged 85 , at the Marie Curie Hospice in Hampstead , of cancer . He was surrounded by his wife , his son , Christopher , and four grandchildren .
